David Mcclure Describes a Specimen
Apropos Of the Thaw Case.
At a dinner of the Association of the
Alumni of the Civil Engineers of Co.
lumbia University at the Hotel Aston
David Mcclure told of some of his
experiences as chairm.n Of the COM
mission to examine into the sanity OF
Harry Thaw. Incidentally he took a
rap at expert testimony on the wit
ness stand.
In the course Of my career" he
said, Il have had much TO do with
Gicnists and alleged experts, and |
have found that a lawyer can get as
many alienist experts to testify for
his side of the case as the funds Of
his client will allow. Not long ago
was appointed chairman of commits
sion to examine into the sanity Of
certain man. Two sets of alienists APP
peared before the commission. One
set said that the fact that the man
was insane was indicated by certain
movement of the hand while the other
swore that the same movement of the
hand tended to show that the man was
perfectly in his right mind"
He told of a case he had recently
known where an alcnist who had new
er seen the man under consideration
had given the opinion in court that the
man was insane and had based his
judgment entirely on talk he had held
with him over the telephone.
Mr.. Mcclure went on 10 say that
the law, which formerly was one Of the
greatest professions, had degenerateG,
until 1t had become a mere business.
There was time" said he, when
the lawyer was the big man of the
town and the people sought his adj
vice and counsel but today the law
yer seeks his client. The successful
lawyer is the one who can build rail-
reads. that exist only on paper and
grange for the issue of watered stock
The mad desire for money has got the
lawyer in its clutches. '-New York

Edna Brayton and Mrs. Peele, with a

After each exchange of repartee BE-

When this sort OF thing had pro-
ceeded further than counsel wished,
he addressed his Honor in this wise;
IF your Honor please, am good

weather conditions for the month

the Genealogical service there are

these compile and publish each month

these the bureau issues occasional

ports made by the experts in the
various branches of the service.
The Weather Bureau costs about

The daily service OF weather pre-
dictions was begun in the United
States in 1870 by the Signal Corps of
the Army, and at first was designed
to aid the navigators OF the Greac
Lakes and the Atlantic Coast Its
scope and purposes were gradually
enlarged, and in 1891 it became a
branch of the Department of Agricul-
ture under the name of the Weather
Bureau. Under the Army regime the
heads CT the service were Generals
Myer, Drum, Hazen and Greedy, and
under the Department of Agriculture
Professors Harrington and Moore.
Professor Moore, the present chief,
has been conducting the affairs of the
bureau since July, 1895. The work
Of the service has grown constantly,
and in the last few years, thanks to
rural free delivery and the telephone,
It has increased its scope to a Won
derful degree. Each day the observa-
lions taken the day before are added
10 the stock of knowledge of the ex-
perts, and with each day the errors
arising from inadequate knowledge
are fewer. The service is becoming
more and more efficient, and, while It
never will be perfect and infallible,
it is destined to have a great share in
the continued prosperity of the coun-
try.

Hannis Taylor, former Minister
of the United States to Spain, has
been talking IN Washington and
has said a few plain, if perhaps
brutal sounding things that it does

Peace Congress in New York as

is not the sort of man who would
have the United States walk among
the nations with a chip on its shoul
der. He said that he recognized
the value of arbitration as method
of settling international difficulties,
aud would be glad to see it resorted
to whenever pl'cticable. But he
pointed to the way III which the so
allied Peace Congress broke up IN
row us an evidence that the world
VAS not ripe for an era of broth

its coat-tail. He said that in this

UNPLEASANT DEVELOPMENTS

There are rumors afoat that un-
pleasant developments may come
from the foreign naval display at
the Jamestown Exposition. The
British squadron was to have been
there for the celebration on the 13
Of May. But instead Of that it
weighed anchor and sailed south to
Bermuda. or course, if inquiry
We're madeof the Navy Department
one would be assured that this de
parture had been arranged ten
years ago and it was just what was
provided for on the program.
But as a matter Of fact it was not
expected, at alt. The British Squad
ron was to have been a part of
the display, and the story goes that
there was deciced flare up between
the British Commander and Ad1ai-
l'al Evans IN command Of the Anne
rican squadron. As all who know
him are aware, Admiral Evans
telnpter is none of the longest. lie
has always been on very good
terms with the British sailormen,
and he and Admiral Cllas. Beres-
ford, the "t'onCor9 Charlie Of the
British navy, are warm personal
friends. But he has been decid-
edly sore on all things English
since the incident al Jamaica when
Coy. Sweetenham ordered Admi-
raj Davis Of the American relief
squadron out Of the harbor.
Those who ought to know say
thai the incident was brought up
again during the meeting of the
two fleets at Jamestown, and the
exchange of words between the two
admirals was responsible fer the
sudden departure of the Bsltish
squadron. More about the incl
dent may come out later.
