and that Mr.. Carlisle had relied
upon the eighth chapter Of John
in the case Of Gen. Daniel Sickles,
who was tried FOR the killing of
Philip Barton Key, a descendant
OF the man who wrote the "Star
Spangled Banner" In more
modern times Judge Orr said that
Abraham Levy had quoted the
eighth chapter Of John in the de-
tense Of Nan Patterson, charged
with the killing Of Caesar Young,
and that the speeches in the
Memphis trial of George Honan
contained many Biblical quota
ri0rs. He alluded to the poetry
of the Bible as the silken cord
which links the beautiful, the
duuful and the good, and said
the people Of the world relied up
on that book for the history of
the first 5000 years of the human
race.
NEEDS NO COAIMENDATION.
Still further along Judge Orr
said that the Bible did not need
commentator from men and that
1t would continue to be accepted
as he voice Of the living God for
all time to come. He spoke Of
what men of letters had said with
reference to it, that Milton had
stated that there were no songs
like the songs OF Zion and that
Daniel Webster had said that if
there was any eloquence in him
he learned it from the Bible his
mother read to him. Quoting
from others he said Bacon said
there was no philosophy like that
Of the Scriptures, that Walter
Scott called the Bible the only
Book; that Frances Z. Willard
termed it the highest English
classic and that DOOminandi, the
wisest of the Hind0os, not a
Christian, said he studied the
Bible because no one could get
knowledge of the English Ian
guage without it.
Concluding his quotations as
to the Bible Judge Orr said that
Victor Hugo, the great French
writer, had said that ''there is a
book of literature more enduring
than the Constitution and that
book is the Bible"
Abiding TO the works of various
writer's Judge Orr said they had
drawn largely from the Bible,
that Byron, McCauIey and Scott
got much inspiration from it and
copied almost literally from many
of its pages and that DR.. Dun
can, a celebrated Shakespearean
scholar, had said that Shake
speare's stories would be stripped
of much Of their force we're his
quotations from the Bible taken
out of his plays. Paradise Lost
was referred to as the Bible in
blank verse and the speaker said
Spencer's writings were taken
from the Parallels.
COMPARISONS ARE MADE.
Comparing the Bible and an
cient and modern laws Judge Orr
said that the most faultless peti-
ton ever sent to a pardoning
power was that sent for Joseph
to Pharoah and that the Attor-
ney- General could find forms in
the Bible by which to draw in
dictments. He said the people Of
Massachusetts, at one time adOp-
ted the Code of Moses as the stat
utes of that colony and the Chris
tianity fairly permeates Hannis
Taylor's recent work on interna-
tional law; that rules for the gov
ernment of common carriers were
provided for in the law of Moses;
that post routes were established
in Chronicles; tnat Jeremiah gave
the first mortgages; that receivers
and bills of divorces were pro-
vided for in Isaiah and that mob
law was repudiated and con-

was written for all time; that its
spirit was as broad as fate; that
it was as eternal as numbers and
that it was a personal communi-
cation to every man. He alluded
to life as either a drama or a
farce, saying the final docket has
been set by the recording angel;
that all pleas as to the jurisdic-
ton of the Court of Heaven have
been overruled; that every man
must try his own case on its mer-
its and that the DEGREES Of Heav-
en- would be based upon the
answers which each man filed.

PROFESSION OF LAW.

Speaking Of the profession of
the law, Judge Orr said it was
next in Importance to the minis
try; that it is a most honorable
calling: that there is no darkness
in the deaths Of Clay, Lincoln,
Lamar, Mckinley and a host of
others of that profession and that
the American Christian lawyer is
a man Of power. Such a lawyer,
he said, is sought after. Capital
seeks him, demagogues fear him,
the people hear him ana parties
single him out as a suitable
standard bearer. The life Of the
lawyer was referred to as a life
of toll and sometimes Of di5ap.
pointment, but an ennobling life
and a magnificent tribute was
paid to the judiciary.
Judge Orr urged that the peo-
pie assist the judiciary in getting
good men TO serve upon the
juries. On that subject he said
to support the judiciary and the
law through the Legislature by
electing good men to that body
and that if the remedy could not
be had through the ballot box to
heed Bishop Gailor's appeal for
the cause of education and edu-
cate the people to make better
citizeus.
Concluding his address Judge
Orr said he desired to drive home
the one grand central truth-that
the Christian religion constitutes
a part of the common law # each
and every State and that in all
essential features the laws of the
people are the perpetuation and
the echo of the divine law.

OLD MEN FOR WAR?

Must the, venerable proverb. "Old men
for counsel, young men for war" be
amended? The experience OF mankind
until the last half century seemed to
vindicate the last part of 1t as well as
| the first. C1esar, who did not set out
against the GGuls until he was AZ, and
| was 81 when he won at Pharsalia was
long an exception.
| Alexander beat Darius, ct Arbeia, az
"a, and before he was 30 vented his IA
| nous sigh because there were no more
worlds to conquer. Hannibal was COM
mander-in-chief of the Carthaginian
army at 26, and set out against Rome at
| 29- Frederick the Great won at Hohen-
| friedburg at 33- Napoleon had conquer
| cd Italy when S. won AusterlitZ at 36,
and lost Waterloo at rs. Ney was the
same age as his great leader, and Murat
was two years older. Wellington finish
| ed the penlnsular campaign at Is, and
won at Waterloo at 46.
Contrast the ages of these great cap
| tains with those of the great comman-
| ders of more recent times. Grant was
only AZ when ne became lieutenant gen
eral Of the Union armies. But Lee was
nine years older when he fought his first
great battle-at Malvern Hiil-than Ma
poleon was when he fed from Waterloo.
Moltke was 66 years old when he over
threw the Austrians at Sadowa, and
20 when his genius triumphed IN the
Franco-Prussi war. Nogi is "a, ku-
roki Is 81, Oyama is GA.
1t seems probable that changes in
methods of warfare have been factor
IN putting middle aged and old men In
command Of modern armies. The physi-
cal qualities of the military leader were
OF prime Importance in ancient times.
He led his troops as well as commanded
them. and inspired them to deeds of
valor by the example of his own
prowess. These qualities continued TO
be of considerable Importance as long
as armies were compact masses of no
more than. say, $1,000 men Great
soldiers, therefore, were usually young
men.
Things had changed when old Moltke,
soldier of books and maps, could sit
impossible at the end Of n telegraph
wire and direct the conquering move
ments of more than half a million men
according to a plan he had drawn UP
months before. The great captain had
wholly ceased to be 9 fighter He had
become chess player with a board
perhaps hundreds Of thousands of miles
In area. This is what Oyama Is. He is a
cool. long headed old fellow who has
mastered the science and the art of
modern war by long years of study and
experience. Future great commanders
probably will be good deal like him

teenth, knew quite well how TO select
their game and never cooked anything
but the young ones. The meat of a
young monkey, I should say, tastes very
much like that of a rabbit.
Monkey Haunch Best.
"The best steak is taker from the
haunches. When done TO a crisp before
an open fire with the proper amount of
salt, 1t is quite a delicacy.
After all, most Of the natural preju-
dice which we have against eating
monkey meat is the fact that the beasts
look so much like man. One feels al
most like a cannibal when he knows
that the meat which is served up to
him is that of such q human looking
brute as the Philippine monkey.

NeW Lighting Apparatus
For Capitol Building
One Bronze Fixture Alone Costs S70O-White
House Fixtures in Various Committee
Rooms Regarded With Reverence.

Elliott Woods, Superintendent Of the
Capitol building, has just completed the
installation of an entire new set of
Lighting apparatus for the corridors of
the building, at cost of $10,500.
Of this amount about 500 was ex-
pended or a single chandelier, one of
the finest in any public building in
Washington. In fact, the Capitol build
ing has some of the handsomest and
most expensive chandeliers in Washing
ten.
The largest chandelier installed in the
building is placed In the corridor just
in front of the Supreme Court chamber.
1t is of such large proportion that an
extra beam was placed in the ceiling to
hold it's weight. 1t Is of bronze, and
weighs about 1,70o pounds.
All Bronze Fixtures.
The new fixtures, all of bronze, have
been placed in the corridors of both
sides Of the. Capitol. This makes a great
impros ement in the lighting arrange
ment of the building, which heretofore
has been very ordinary.
These costly futures are entirely in
keeping with the dignity Of the build
ing.
The new chandeliers are handsome
but do not by any means overshadoW
the White House chandeliers already
placed in the different committee rooms
of the Capitol The latter are seven II
number, placed in the following rooms

sions of the House.
Objects of Art.
These White House chandeliers are
the pride of every Senator and member
who has been fortunate enough to have
them placed in his committee rooms.
They are works of art, and would adorn
any place they may hang. 1t has often
been subject of comment that they were
ever removed from the Executive Man
sion.
The photograph of the District of Co
lumbia Committee room shows one of
the White House chandeliers, with hun
dreds of little cut-glass, many-sided
prisms, but does not show the side fix
lures which have recently been put in
place The side fixtures also came from
the White House.
In removing the chandeliers from the
Waite House many prisms were lost.
They have been in every case replaced.
The chandeliers are now in as good
shape as ever.
These chandeliers were originally ar
ranged to be lighted by gas, but when
they were placed In the Capitol the
mode of lighting was changed to cleo
tricity, as all gas apparatus has been
removed from the building within tne
last few years.

Formerly religious services were held

Refreshments Contributed.
Friday evening the w c. T. U. sent
wagon loads of refreshments to the
asylum. Yesterday they were distributed
among the inmates. Such treats as this
are often furnished by various organi-
zations in the city.
There is much at the asylum which If
told, would prove news to Washing
tonians. More could be said of the
varied industries pursued at the institu-
ton IN which the workhouse inmates
are kept busy-the gardens which yield
ed $500 worth of produce last year, the
dairy which furnishes forty gallons of
milk day, the carpentering, plastering,
cooking, etc, at all Of which the prison
ers help.
All laundry work is done by hand.
over half million pieces are washed
every year. The spring planting has
been done and the gardens would de-
light a farmers eye.
Work is done under the supervision of
paid employees. The whole force num-
bers nearly 100 including the nurses in
the training school. the orderlies, etc.
When Mr.. Zinkhan came TO relieve
Intendant Stoutenburgh last year he
found officers and employees dressed as
ordinary citizens. with much conse-
