Nidssf Of british Sports.

Hawking is the oldest Of all British
sports. To the uninitiated the most
marvellous feature of hawking is the
manner In which the hawks them
selves, naturally the widest and wari-
est Of the feathered tribe, have been
trained to surrender voluntarily their
liberty and return literally like bolt
from the blue in obedience to the will
Of the falconer. This indeed seems
the more remarkable when one learns
that the best birds are those which
have attained maturity In wild state

LAWYERS IN ENGLAND.


and the Solicitor.
The barrister In England is the very
salt of the earth. He IL IL 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
bliity 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 q measure to ths
life Of the bee. One 10 the drone and
the other the queen. The drene In ths
solicitor, who sits In an once working
up n case. consulting clients, drawing
gilis, controlling estate transactions and
controlling the incomes Of people who
are unfortunate enough to be saddieA

who has bis own tradition to work out,
does not ever get to himself any glory
whatever. Except In police and coun-

merely q gentleman whom fiction po-

poor solicitor. There are no barristers

solicitors who wear the broad arrow
which Is the trademark of his majesty q
prisons. The solicitor remains the old
time family adviser, to whom all sorts
of foolish people bring their trust
deeds, their stock certificates, theil
government bonds and all such docu
ments which have a tendency to lead g
weak men into temptation, and that is
why so many solicitors, when they
need money, find it impossible to re

not theirs-London Letter in Town and

THE EIGHT HOUR DAY.
Is Not Yet Established as a Principle
Hard Fight Ahead Of Labor

4AaAu hk$hb <Astt0A VI A<ahots
Labor men disposed to look upon the
bright side Of things have been under
tile impression That the eight hourwork-
day was established as a principle, the
pretlcally at least, in this country. re-
those optimists will look about them
they will probably have d rude awai-
enIng, writes Joseph *. Buchanan In
the New York Journal
Labor fought for years before II won
general acceptance of Its right TO or
ganize Now there are few who dis
pute that right.
In the same way the shorter work
day education has been carried for
ward until the economists and the the
orists pretty generally have conceded
that eight hours lib twenty-fonr Is
enough for each laborer to work.
In the building trades. the printing
trades and some other industries the
eight hour workday Is observed. For
years there has been an eight hour law
applicable to work done for the nation.
al government, and some OF the states
have passed laws making eight hours
d legal days work on state and munic-
ipal contracts.
The eight hour movement has been
having things TOO much its own way.
according to certain large employing
interests, and now war has been de-
clared against IT. Not only Is the FUR
Their progress Of the movement to be
stayed. but 1t Is the purpose Of the OPP
ponents Of the eight hour day to undo
as far as possible what has been done
for Its advancement
a. combination of large contracting
firms, representing many millions of
dollars, has Just opened an Qttack
upon the national eight hour law In the
United States district court at Cleve-
land II is reported that there * ire
mendous political influence behind the
assailants Of the law and that the fight
will, IL necessary, be carried TO the SUI
preme court Of the United States.
In response to the demand Of the
public. which has tired OF being sacri-
feed to the greed Of the railway cor
porations, bill limiting the hours Of
labor In the railway train service was
introduced Ia congress.
Hundreds Of instances may be cited
where huInan lives have been sacri-
feed IN railway accidents which were
due to the exhaustion OF overworked
employees. Under powers recognized
in the interstate commerce laws it was
attempted to compel the railways I'd
treat their employees as human beings
and at the same time safeguard the
lives and interests OF the people.
1t looks as II the prophecy made
some years ago that "if the govern
ment doesn't own the railways the
railways VIII own the government
was about fulfilled. Under the inhu-
ence Of the railway lobby, the railway
senator's and the railway congressman,
and 1t might not be arpiss to add the
railway members Of the interstate
commerce commission, the bin when
it finally came up for passage was SO
emssculated as to leave it almost
useless as a measure to accomplish
the purposes for which 1t was original
ly intended.
Eternal vigilance should be the mot
to Of the organized wageworkers.

BETTER THAN
MANY PLACES

London, May l0.-Althoug'h nearly all
clakres of Englishmen would appear 90
be revelhng in the grievances that are
daily being voiced throughout the land IL
cannot be said that there IL any lack OF
sol1otude for the welfare OF the British
pauper. whose bot would seem TO be far
from unhappy.
This fact has been stF1kingly evidenced
tn recent months as a result OF the In
vestigauions conducted by the local gov
ernment board In the matte OF the
poor law expenditures. but yesterday Il
reached a point OF sheer amazement dur
ing an inquiry at the instance of the
Rate Payers association into the cost
OF the new workhouse and infirmary
in the London borough OF Hammersmith
IL developed that this worl<house In many
details was equal. IL not superior. 10 any
noblemans mansion and that II could
ve with the most expensive hotel.
Tho enhance 20 the building Is be-
tween handsome screens fitted with pitch
pine and plate glass; one Of the floors
Is OF tiled mosaic work, surrounded by a
dado OF encaustfc ware OF the most ex-
pensive type: every part OF the building
le brilliantly lighted with electricity and
a system or duplicate wiring has been
installed.
Counsel for the Rate Payers as~ocia-
taoi. says this system had been suggested
recently for Buckingham palace. but II
was rejected on the ground OF expense
The dining hall is almost baronfal in style
and equal to anything in any OF the
great colleges of the country. The light
90 this room Ia softly diffused by means
OF stained glass windows. The site and
building cost over 81 10000. which as
equivalent. so far as has been ascer-
tained. 10 the rate of $ls75 per bed. This.
counsel said. was far greater than the
cost OF many houses occupied by hard
working families
Other interesting features included the
cost OF the cooking apparatus. S5 per
pauper while the ANNUAL cost OF cleo
tricity ie also SIS per individual.
The local government board. OF which
John Burns is the head. seems deter
nSinea to Sfft this matter down and pre-
vent such extravagances.
