GREATEST or ALL LAWYERS.
Men OF Eminencs Award Palm TO Ben
amin Harrison.

A group Of lawyers were discussing
various legal questions I'm the lobby
Of the Ebbitt hotel at Washington,
The conversation had turned upon
the big men of the legal profession.
"T am OF the same opinion as the
clerk of one OF the circuit courts OF
Ohio" said A. H. Petty, OF Crbana.
We had been talking OF various law
yers who had made national reputa-
tons and In that particular circuit
many famous men had practioed be
fore the courts. The clerk, who had
had long experience and was a man or
keen observation asked me whom | re-
rar1ed as the greatest lawyer ! had
ever heard plead. | could not then call
IN mind any oae who. in my opinion
stood ont conspicuously above a dozen
big men. The greatest lawyer, SAID
the clerk. that ever appeared in a
court in this country was benjamin
Harrison. He never made an argu-
ment in SQUIRT room that he did not
instruct tho man on the bench. That
was high praise. but looking at It az
forward came to the same conclu-
sion. He had the greatest legal mind
of any lawyer in the last 80 years In
nv opinion, and many others with
whom | have talked are OF the same
belief. "-W ashington Post.

A Char Store Secret.

Every tobacconist has In his count
err a machine for cutting on the ends
Of cigars These machines are popu-
lar for the reason that they pay for
themselves many times over every
year.
The ends that smokers cut on are
carefully gathered from the counter,
and II takes but a few hundred OF
them to make a pound Of good tobac-
co This can be sold for 40 or 30
cents.
Some cigar store clerks are very
solicitous to see that the patron does
not overlook the cutting machine,
they push tt towards him, and he is
IMMERSED with their politeness. These
clerks have for 8 perquisite the ma
chimes cuttings This adds several
dollars weekly to their salaries.

Want Lower Cotton Rate.

Austin. Tex, Aug. IA hearing
was held yesterday by the Railroad
Commission to consider the propo-
sition of reducing the freight rates
on round bale cotton. Representa-
tves Of the Farmers Union, who
presented the petition, cited the great
economy of handling round bales be-
cause Of their compactness, the bag
wrapper minimizing fire danger and
the half bale size permitting quick
handling. Bound bale advocates
claim an advantage to the railroads
OF 10 cents per 100 pounds, and ask
for this reduction from the rate
charged on fiat or square bale cotton.

PAPER WILL Be CHEAPER
PREDICTION BASED ON CONTEM-
PLATED MERGER OF SEW.
ERAL BIG MILLS.

Appleton, Wis. Aug. 14.-"If the
merger of the print paper mills OF
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota
Is perfected, as now seems likely,
within two years from now print
paper will be sold cheaper than 1t
has in twenty years." said the owner
of one of the largest paper mills In
the Fox river valley.
Don't understand from that pre-
diction that l mean the price will be
cut down and remain down. for It
won't, but Il will be case Of cutting
and slashing of prices by the merger
interests. in an effort to either drive
out the companies which will not
enter the merger at the start. or to
compel them to dispose Of their
plants at figures placed upon them by
the appraisers.
"The Independents will have a
hard row to hoe II the Government
does not come to their rescue as II
did when the General Paper Com
pany was dissolved by the order OF
the Federal court two years ago.
81 understand that the consolidat-
ed company will start with s15,000,-
900 capital, which would more than
pay for the plants which will enter
the combination, but there are sew
eral big companies, including the
Patten and the Kimberly-Clark.
which will remain independent
plants, so that fight which will cost
the promoters thousands of dollars
before It is over is sure to come.
THE cost of the raw material is
constantly increasing and under ordi-
nary circumstances the price Of paper
would be bound to increase, but the
one object OF the merger is to control
the entire output of print paper In
the middle west, and when that is
accomplished, II II ever is, the price
Of paper will be sent skyward."

AT CASA BLANCA.
French and Spanish Troops Are Prac.

Overwhelming Hordes.

Casa Blanca, Aug. 14.-Thousands
of Moorish tribesmen have gathered
on the hills and plains about Casa
Blanca and the allied army encamped
on the beach in the city is virtually
in state of siege.
While the Moors have been re-
pulsed at every advance the fact re-
mains that they are in such numbers
that the allies dare not venture forth
from their fortified camp to move
against them.
Under the shelter OF the guns OF
the warships the allies have repulsed
charge after charge of the fanatical
and fearless tribesmen who are
spurred forward to deeds Of phe-
nomenal bravery by what they con-
slider holy zeal.
Time after time they have swarmed
down upon the city undaunted by the
great cape torn in their ranks by the
bursting shells from the gunboats,
undismayed as rank after rank fell
under the withering fire of the
French and Spanish rifiemen. Their
courage is inspiring. 1t is only be-
cause of sheer physical inability to
conquer that they fail.
Hourly their ranks are being aug
mented, and almost with each add
ton to their forces a new attack II
undertaken. l'
The condition Of the country sur
rounding Casa Blanca is in their fa'
