LAWYERS IN ENGLAND.
The Difference Between the Barrister
and the Solicitor.

The Difference Between the Barrister
and the Solicitor.
The barrister in England is the very
salt of the earth. He it is who makes
the laws, who goes into parliament,
who sits on the bench, who considers
himself seven or eight degrees higher
up in the social scale. than any other
poor or middle class mortal, and with
all this he has absolutely no response
bility toward his clients. That ancient,
much abused thing called custom in
this country has created for the law
two separate and distinct limbs, which
may be compared in a measure to the
life of the bee. One is the drone and
the other the queen. The drone is the
solicitor, who sits in an office working
up a case, consulting clients, drawing
gills, controlling estate transactions and
controlling the incomes of people who
are unfortunate enough to be saddled
under the trust deeds. The solicitor,
who has his own tradj&NDn to work out,
does not ever get to himself any glory
whatever. Except in police and coun-
ty court cases, he is persona non grata,
or, in the words of the judges, ''he is
not SEEN" If he has a case on hand,
he is obliged to take it to a barrister,
who, though he may never have heard
Of the matter in dispute before, dOns
his wig and gown, proceeds into court
and argues till all is black and blue,
as if he knew all about 1t, for which he
draws q most prodigious fee, quite big
enough to enable him to appear nicely
mounted in the row every morning.
If he spoils the case, there is no chance
for redress, because the barrister is
merely a gentleman whom fiction po-
litely assumes to be friend in need.
All the Onus of failure falls upon the
poor solicitor. There are no barristers
in prison, but there are good many
solicitors who wear the broad arrow
which is the trademark of his majeSty'S
prisons. The solicitor remains the old
time family adviser, to whom all sorts
of foolish people. bring their trust
deeds, their stock certificates, their
government bonds and all such docu-
ments which have a tendency to lead a
weak men into temptation, and that is
why so many solicitors, when they
need money, find it impossible to re-
sist the desire to take that which is
not theirs.-London Letter in Town and
Country.

Of Investigating fire damages.

of investigating fire damages.
The fire marshal or his as

building which is SO dilapida-

The owner who fails to COM

Have you ever thought what great

Circus Folks Most Moral.

Notwithstanding the absence Of the
artificial safeguards that a convention
al society has ordained, circus perform
ers are, as a class, the most moral folk
on the face of the earth. An old circus
man expressed the fact in this way:
''For 200 years there has not been
domestic scandal nor divorce among
us when both husband and wife were
from recognized circus families. In ev-
cry case where there has been scan

Men Past Sixty in Danger

Move than half of mankind over
sixty years OF age suffer from kid

enlargement OF the prostate glands.
This is both painful aud dangerous,

it corrects irregularities and has
cured many old men of this disease.

A practice that has long

and in fact almost everybody

railroads is the lacking or
FASTING of advertising matter
on cars, thereby disfigurlng
them. In all railroad centers

ed, and a charge of fifty cents
a card will be made against
the firm whose advertisement
is on the car. If it is pasted
on charge Of one dollar will
be made in each case. 1t is
believed by the railroads that
this system Of inspection and
the chargin up to the bust

that they have had placed on
the cars will be a method
that will effectively break up
the practice of mailing adver-

The Fire MarShal'S Duties.

AC LIOoU ILL EICA oaOh NNoJ
of the fire marshal is to create
a universal impression that
swift pursuit and inevitable
punishments awaits any one
who burns property for re :
venge or to defraud. He is
also given power to correct
conditions which are liable to
cause fires, that are discover
ed by his inspectors or are
reported by citizens.
The fire marshal law pro
vides that the ''cause, origin
and circumstances of every
fire occurring in the state in
which the loss exceeds $25
shall be reported to the fire
marshal. The report OF a
fire in a city having a fire de-
partment is5tO made by it's
chief; if in a city or village by
the mayor or president Of the
board; if in a rural community
by the town clerk. The Of
fcer is required within two
days to especially make in
vestigation as to whether
such fire was the result of
carelessness, accident or de.
sign"
If there be circumstances
which suggest a probability
that the fire was started in
tentionally by some one, no
matter how small the loss,
the state marshall must be
notified at once. If there are
no suspicious circumstances
the officer must within one
week furnish to the fire mar
shall a written statement of
all the facts relating to the
cause and origin of the fire
and such other information as
may be called for by the
blanks furnished by said fire
marshal"
The penalty for the failure
of the clerk, mayor or fire
chief to So report a fire is a
fine of S25 to 5000.
For the making of each re-
port township clerks and mu
nicipal officers who do not re
ceive a stated salary are al
lowed 81 90 and ten cents a
mile to and from the place of
the fire. This money is paid
to the reporters of fires at
the years end. Fire chiefs
and mayors receiving stated
salaries get no fee. In a few
days blanks and instructions
will be mailed to these off
GERS. Upon their active sym
pathetic aid the success of
the new fire marshal depart
ment depends.
The fire marshal, his as
sistants or deputies may take
up the investigation of any
fire at any time and exercise
all the powers of a court.
They may compel the atten-
dance of witnesses and the
production Of books; may adj
minister oaths, make arrests
and punish for contempt by
fine or jail sentence. They
may separate witnesses and
exclude attorneys during ex-
aminations. The fire mar
shall must reduce all testi-
mony he takes to writing,
furnish a copy Of it with all
other facts of value to the
prosecuting attorney of the
county and follow each case
until it is disposed of.
