LAWYERS and Our publlc Lite,


Mr. Justice Brewer, in the Atlantic.
Without stopping for statistics
which have been SO often coliated, 1t
is enough to say that in the public
life Of this country The lawyer has
been the conspicuous factor. The jul
dietary, of course, is altogether COM
nosed of members OF The profession.
In executive Offices and legislative
halls the law has preaominated and
still predominates over every business
and all other professions. Yet the
public life of this country has been
of the highest character. Acting Tor
the public as the lawyers have done
III these various fields Of official labor,
they have proved trtle 10 their employ
ment, and it may safely be said that
the scandals which have sometimes
been found in official lie have seldom
attached to them. How can this be
accounted for except upon the theory
of a general personal Integrity? 1t is
nc sufficient explanation to say that
although the great mass Of the profess
sion is corrupt, there are few who
are reliable, and they are the ones
whom the public select for official life.
The truth is, their very prominence
in public life, their fidelity to the trusts
therein imposed, is Evidence which
can not be ignored that the profession
has and maintains character for
honesty and uprightness which at
tracts general confidence.

JUDGES DECISION REVERSED
George Gould Must Pay the Sheriff
For His Services Rendered In
Big Suit to Recover s466,ooo
On An Alleged Contract.

| NEW YORK, June l6.-By a decision
rendered yesterday in the appellate di'
vision Sheriff Hays is entitled to col.
lect S4ii5 in poundage fees from George
]. Gould. This decision reyerses the
order of Supreme Court Judge Fitz.
gerald, in which it was held that the
sheriff was only entitled to about $l50.
Mr. Gould is one of three defendants
in a suit brought by John s. Jones an
Ohio railroad man, TO recover S466.0O0
on an alleged ;contract by which Jones
agreed to purchase for Gould, Joseph
Ramsey Jr., and William f. Guy who
constituted the Little Kanawha Syndi.
cate, large tract of coal land in Ohio
Jones alleges that he fulfilled his con.
tract but was unable to collect either his
commissions on the purchase or his
expenses.
He got an attachment against George
Gould Jr., and cash and securities valued
at several thousand dollars on deposit
with the Mercantile Trust Company
were seized by the sheriff. Gould re-
leased the levy by giving an undertak-
ing in S500,0O0 to secure Jones. Gould
then demurred to paying the S4775 in
poundage fees, and counsel for the sher.
if appealed from Justice Fitzgerald's
order which sustained Gould.
Justice Mclaughlin, for the court.
says that where a levy is made the
sheriff's right to poundage fees is abso-
lutte and the amount is fixed by statute.
Hence Gould is not entitled to the re-
turn of his property until he pays the
statutory fees in full.

At the request of the owners of thu
barkentine Jane L. Stamford, now pres

consented on Thursday last to act as 3
board of survey to estimate the damage
wrought upon the barkentine Jane l.

at sea, of the Columbia bar, with an
unknown steamer, P. l.. Cherry and Cap
tains Grove and Martin. and survey was
mitted. 1t does not touch upon the ma
ture of the accident nor the response
bility therefore but fixes the sum OF
damage in the neighborhood of S500e,
the principal items of injury to the
ship being, impairment OF stem, injury
of bowsprit, foremast, fore.top- gallant
mast, main-top lower fore.topsail yard,
fore-royal and sky-sail yards, and near.
" all the gear on the fore and main,
to be renewed and the head sails and
other canvass replaced, There are a
number of rumors out as to the iden-
tity of the vessel that was in collision
with the Stanford, but there is nothing
Of substance in any of the deductions,
but the next few days should bring to
light the real cause of the trouble, and
the no-doubt co-sufferer with the Stan
ford.
Captain f. A. Smith of San Francisco.
one of the principal owners of the Jane
L. Stanford, and now in this city, is of
the opinion that the steamer in question
was the J. B, Stetson, which sailed from
Gray's Harbor on Tuesday. lumber la
den, for San Francisco, and which should
have been about in the locality of the
collision at the time of its occurrence,
and says that the Merchants Exchange
Of San Francisco, with. which he mas
been in constant intercourse by wire
for the past thirty hours, holds to this
view, a matter, of course, which can
only be settled upon the arrival of the
Stetson at that port.

and hung back, until the Telegraph had
to get underway in defense of her sched-

candlelight wedding was a Iaost
beautiful affair and so appropriate for
winter. The upright piano held a row
OF candle sticks. one high, one low. and
when the candles were lit the effect was
very pretty. The mantels were done
the same way and the plate rail in the
dining-room. Then there were tail
holders, with single tall candle in the
corners of the room.
The tall church candles were used. as
they would burn several hours. Just
before the ceremony two small boys
dressed as pages came in with ribbon
decorated gas-lighters and lit all the
candles.
The bridal party stood under an arch
way and over the top fastened into the
wire framework were hundreds OF
small white candles.
The bridal table was decorated by q
large wreath of green vines and white
rosebuds. suspended by broad white
ribbons about two feet from the table
top. II had circle of burning candles.
The bride. OF course, wore white. but
the four maids were gowned in pink and
every one said they never had seen a
prettier wedding. Everything ana
everybody appears to good advantage
by candlelight.

LOST EYESICHT
Through Coffee Drinking

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves
OF the body. Personal experience with
thousands proves the general state
ment true and physicians have records
Of great numbers Of cases that add to
the testimony.
The following IS from the Rockford,
III. Register Gazette:
Dir. William Langhorst Of Aurora
has been treating one OF the queerest
cases OF lost eyesight ever in history.
The patient Is o. A. Leach OF Beach
county, and in the last four months he
had doctored with all OF the specialists
about the country and has at last re-
turned home with the fact impressed
on bis mind that his case Is incurable
A portion Of the optic nerve has
been ruined, rendering his sight so
limited that he fs unable 10 see any
thing before him. but he can see plain
~ anything at the side Of him. There
Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1906-01-31

have been but few cases OF its kind
before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either. but has been a great cof-
fee drinker. and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups Of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records OF the specialists OF this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use OF coffee.
The nerve Is ruined beyond aid and
his case Is incurable. The fact that
makes the case a queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing to tn doctors statement. the
young man will have TO give up cof-
fee or the rest OF his sight will fol-
low and the entire nerve be ruined

SOME TABLEAUX WANTS.
Look Well TO the Details of This Form
OF Entertainment, FOR Much
Depends On Them.

TabltauX vivants are very popular
this season, ana there may be many a
delightful evening spent In this way.
AS to the details for this form of enter
tainmcnt, there must be large rooms
win loldins doors. The opening be-
tween the doors should be yelled with
THU black gauze stretched tightly. the
foot AID overhead lights being placed
behind ii. The stage at the end of the
room must be elevated at least three
feet. Remember that a tall person ia
always much taller on the stage. ana
a girl only five feet high. if she has n
good carriage. may assume goodiy
height on the boards.
BE sure 10 choose the color OF the
lights with discretion aud see how the
ehect on the subject is before displaying
The scene. There are many modern
sketches that may be adopted 10
tablcaux and there are the oId-time fay-
critics that always please. such as THE
Courtship of Miles Standish." Tenny-
sons Dream OF Fair Women" The
Four Seasons" Ticking the Veil"
Rock OF Ages" "De.demona and the
Moor THE Nine Muses." and living
pictures from the Gibson drawings are
always effective.
A Tableaux Vivant club might he or
gained aud an entertainment given
once month for the benefit of some spe-
cial charity. Serve light refreshments
sncn as coffee and sandwiches ice cream
or an ice with small cakes. or simply a
frappe where all could help themselves
to II during he evening.
