The legal fraternity is fortunate In
having an avenue by which II can purge
itself Of unworthy members, and in that
respect Is far better situated than other
professions, unless we except the minis

clcrgymen from denomination and
thus eventually drive them from the

Ing the absolute purity Of the Vermont
bar. From time to time cases are crop
ping up which seem to merit disbarment,
but for some reason or other no steps TO
that end are taken.
However, II the bar wishes to keep
its skirts clear, summary action now
and then would prove most efIicacious.
No decent, self-respecting lawyer would
be guilty Of intimidation, Of manufact.
uring evidence, of conspiracy, Of black
mailing and of the numerous malodorous
subterfuges which we see now and again.
There is some basis for the sweeping
statement made by Judge DeCourcey of
the superior bench in Massachusetts,
who recently said; Judging from the
high standard OF the bar OF which you
speak, feel that the bench has toll

attorneys would be disbarred." The

Beauty Marred.

No more pleasing sight is to be seen

and lassies that throng daily through the
streets on their way to and from school.
But the beauty Of the scene IL married
when the lads take to throwing hard
snowbals as swift as they can while 60

across the stone bridge, where the pas

are obliged to wear eyeglasses realize
to the full what menace swift snow

A case in hand is that Of a young lady
wearing glasses who was struck in the
eye, breaking her glasses and cutting
her lids SO badly that she had to be TAX

right, but snowballing on the main
street is ais much out Of place as a bull

To show his worth;
No undiscovered continents
Are left on Garth;
Columbus, had Il been his fate
To live to-day,
Night serve beneath some section hos,
For little pay.
oh, poor young man. He cannot sex
His gifts, alaeki
No Austerlitz remains to lose,
No Rome to sack,
The past has both Thermopylae
And Waterloo
What is there that the poor young mar
May hope to dog
Newton, Calico, Morse,
Have lived and wrought;
Homer, Shakespeare, Milton, Pope,
And Burns and Scott
All, if they had. not written all
There was to write.
He might take up his pen and give
The world delight.
Raphael Titan, Rembrandt--how
With paint and brush
May he expect to be supreme?
Huge vessels rush
From hemisphere to hemisphere,
The winds defying,
Because Fulton had plan
He thought worth trying.
Oh, poor young mani He sits downcast
No chance remains
For him to nobly free race
From CALLING chains.
The great things have been done, alasl
BY craft or stealth
The magnates have become possessed
OF all the wealth.
The world has ceased to need men who
were born to lead;
He may not Join the splendid few,
'Tis sad, indeedl
He came too late to win renown
Or claim applause;
He has no chance to be supreme
In any cause.
Alb, poor young man, how sad his fate,
How dread his lot,
To have no hope Of being great
And yet, why mott
At Homer many, many man
Stuck out his tongue
And told him that the greatest songs
Had all been sung.

Actress Gives Out Posi-

NEW YORK, May 2.-"I must refuse
TO discuss my personal affairs. How
ever important you may regard it for
me to crafty the curiosity of inquiring
friends and strangers, l am afraid
cannot share your view.
But 1 will so far depart from this
resolution to say that Mr.. Corey and I
will be married in this city on May 13,
and both Mr.. Corey's family and mine
will be present"
Removes All Doubt.
This ~ ement. issued by Miss Ma
belle Gilman, the actress. at the Hotel
Gotham, removed all doubt that her pur-
pose in coming to America from Paris
on. the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse was TO become the bride OF VIII
liam Ellis Corey. who has just been
reelected president Of the United
States Steel corporation.
Miss Gilman refused 10 grant an in
terview. but shortly afterward issued
Inc statement quoted. A little later
Mr.. Corey, coming from the offices of
the Steel trust, was shown to the suite
occupied by the Gilmans.

The next seen Of the couple. whose
romance has interested two continents
was when Mr.. Corey's flancee and her
mother left the hotel, entered an auto
mobile and were whirled up Fifth ave-
nue.. Mr.. Corey and another man fol-
lowed in another automobile. When
they returned. a couple of hours later.
Mr.. Corey was in the car with Mrs. and
Miss Gilman.
A report Immediately became current
that they had been married during their
brief absence. Mr.. Corey was shortly
afterward called up on the telephone
and asked If IL was true that he had
been married TO Miss Gilman either
early i'm the evening or while he was in
France four months ago.
Mr.. Corey declined TO make any state
ment whatsoever. and added that he had
nothing TO say that could be of interest

RAILROAD SPEECH
MAYBE WITHHELD
BY PRESIDENT
Is in Doubt Whether to
Deliver 1t at In
dianapoliS.

The very latest concerning the Presi-
dents anxiously-awaited speech at In
dianapoIis. May 30. is that he is unde-
cided about what he will say. In fact.
the whole question OF whether he will
at that time outline his railroad policy
for the next session Of Congress. is not
yet decided. Pressure is being brought
TO bear from both sides. Business in
terests and politicians of conservative
tendencies are anxious that the .Presi-
dent shall not at this time deliver him
self OF anything demanding more pro-
gressive legislation relative 10 capital
ization They urge that If such a
declaration must come. IL ought to be
postponed until later, when the country
will be feeling prosperous in assurance
of good crop, and when there shall
have been plenty of time for recovery
from effects of the late Wall street
squeeze. So the President, between the
two views. has not yet decided whether
he will talk railroads at Indianapolis OF
COnfine himself TO some general ana APP
prOpriate patriotic utterances.
1t is now said that II the speech on
railroads is not made at indianapolis.
the President has no particular date IN
mind for it's delivery, and II may not he
used at all as a speech, but be reserved
for the message to Congress In Decem-
Der There IS in all this. however. no
intimation that the President designs
TO recede from his insistencC on import
ant corporation legislation next session.
