CONTEST WITH COLONIES.
Great Britain Will Make Test Case
in Newfoundland.

LONDON, November 1.-THE foreign
office here has not been advised of the ar
rest of the Observation-Disclosures who were
at work putting herring on board the
American schooner Ralph Hall at Bay of
Islands November ID. when the colonial
officials boarded the vessel and notified the
men that they would be prosecuted
1t is believed that it is simply test case
which will be carried to the privy council
with the view of deciding definitely whether
the imperial government has the power to
override acts of the colonial government
by International treaty. That Great Britain
has the power to disallow acts of the colon
ial parliament is conceded, but the colonies
contend that Britain cannot override acts
to which her consent has already been
given.

Vigorous and Active
at Golden Wedding

Mr.. and Mrs K. M. Hud-
gins, of Norfolk, Va, have
just celebrated theirgoIden
wedding. Mr.. Hudgins is
seventy-nine years of age
and Mrs. Hudgins seventy
two. e
This dear old couple are
vigorous and active both
in body and mind, thanks
to Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
key.
Mrs. Hudeins writes that
Notwithstanding the fact
that they have tried many
medicines they have found
none to equal Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey.
Il have been using Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey for five or six years,
and get more benefit from it used
as tonic than from any other med
icine. l can truthfully say this, as I
have tried many other medicines.
1t has no equal. Duffy's Malt is the
best for Body and Brain.
Il am seventy-two years of age,
and may, with the use of Duffy's
Malt Whiskey, live many years
longer. My husband is seventy
nine years old and very active and
hearty. We both give praise to the
best of all medicines. 1t does me
more good for bronchial trouble

Lawyers Itemized Bills.

It Is becoming custom also for lawyers
to present itemized bills to their clients
Until recently 1t was not considered pro-
fessional by many attorneys to itemize a
bill. An account would be rendered every
three or every six months ito professional
services from date to date" and profession
al dignity would not permit any inquiry
az to what those services were. Today
however, the ablest lawyers with the
largest practice are submitting statements
in detail, showing exactly what they have
done for their clients and how they have
earned the money they demand. This has
always been the custom In England. Over
there a solicitor renders account quarterly
to his regular clients and sets down in de-
tail every item Of expenditure and every
service performed down to the cost Of
the stationery and the time required to
prepare the bill.
A few weeks ago in London the late J.
w. st. Clair of West Virginia, who died
only last week. showed me the itemized
bill he had received from a London So
licitor whom he had employed to assist
1t was very long and minute. It showed
how many visits the solicitor had made to
Mr.. st. Clair and how many visits Mr.
Clair had made to the solicitor and the
hours and minutes occupied by each VISIT
The charge for the shortest visit was SIPS;
the charge for the longest visit was one
guinea Every letter the solicitor had
written. every paper he had drawn, every
inquiry he had made, every precedent he
had hunted up in the law books was
charged for according to the time occupied
and whenever he sent the messenger in his
office on an errand in connection with the
case, even II it were to post a letter, he
charged a shilling or sixpence. Every
postage stamp was accounted for: the time
of the stenographer and typewriter who
received his dictation and copied the docu-
ments. and here and there in the bill were
charges of tuppence, a threepence or
sixpence for stationery
This account was copied in the books Of
the solicitor, according to a custom which
has always prevailed In England, and as
the firm is an old one, Mr.. st. Clair told
me that they could account for every shfll-
ing it had received from cdent for two
centuries.
