Sam Jones recently lectured in Sig
Quincy, Iowa, and justly roasted
those who signed saloon petitions
This report is from Sigourney paper:
This nice little Iowa town, with a
farming region around it makes one Of
the garden spots Of the world, but with
all your blessings you can't get along
without three saloons to debauch your
village and ruin your boys, because
you need the money "Here Mr.. Jones
inquired Of the surprised audiedce.
How much is the license here? Some
one answered. 5000 each to the
town. Nine hundred dollars alto
gether,' resumed Jones. What is
your population?' Answer: 5000
The speaker then did little lightning
calculation, and resumed:
"The liquor dealer walked up to you
and said, if you will let US damn this
town we will give you 40 cents apiece
Say, what would 200 pound hog
bring?'
Answer. '$12.' &c. resumed
Jones, hogs s12 apiece, and folks 40
cents head. Say brother don't you
wish you were hog? You and your
whole family wouldn't bring enough
in this town to buy sucking pig.
This is little lower down than | have
ever found them. For the pitiful sum
OF 40 cents apiece you turn over your
boys to be 'debauched,' the hearts { f
mothers to be crushed, and the town
ruined-all for 40 cents. This is cheap
but expect that is all you are worth
eh?'

Especial to The Times-Dispatcn.)
NEW YORK, May 3.-Interesting light
was thrown on the genesis OF the quarrel
between Richard A.. Garfield and his
former friend. John Delahanty, which
brought the suit by the latter for $3.50
for legal services, when, during the pro-
ceedings in the Supreme Court to-day. It
was developed that Delahanty had for
5warded to his client n bill for SIC 'CtO. ssen It
by former Judge Edgar Z. Fursman.
eCanfeld's opinion of the propriety of
this demand was expressed In the fol-
lowing letter written to his lawyer on
January IA. 1904:
Dear John,-What means this ex-
traordinary note which I enclose.
Judge Fursman was paid $500 for 4
his services in the Bucklen case last
spring. You told me yourself that
he was out of the matter The only
charge he can make against me is for
your consultation with him. No man
at the bar can make such a charge
as his against me. No man can pay

i have been involved havc been

IT shall not submit to such a pro-
ceeding without making a public
protest. Yours.

Delahunty testified that he replied
curtly to Garfield that both his letter and
that of Judge Fursman were surprise
to him and that he further told Buckin,
Canf1eld's manager, to tell the latter that
he had batter not write any more such
letters; that he would not take such
language from Garfield or any other
man.
Matter Compromised.
Mr.. Delahunty testified later that Furs.
man had received 5000 at the time he
sent In his bill for $4,000. The latter
part Of January 1904, there was meet
ing between Fursman, Garfield and Della
hunty and the matter was finally COM
promised by giving him mn additional
5000 check.
A letter from Cnnheld, at Saratoga,
dated September g. 1903, referred to a

any way relax his efforts but no one
wanted any glory out Of the matter-only
