LAWYER BEFORE
 BAR COMMITTEE
Alleged that An Excessive Fee Was Charged In Clos ing Estate.

Attorney George P. Farley was be- fore the grievance committee of the Fairfield county bar yesterday charged with having rendered an excessive bill for services performed as attorney for the heirs of the late Michael Eos ter of Hanover street who was a men- Der of the Maccabees, Tent 3. The at torney is a member of the same so- ciety. Foster was insured in the order for $1, 900. Mrs. Foster asked Attorney Farley to assist her in settling the case She said she did so because of the warm fraterual feeling which had existed between Farley and her de- ceased husband. Mrs. Farley told the grievance company that she did not consider she was employing MT. Far ley as a lawyer. MT. Farley, however, said he got the opposite impression. When the society paid the claim the check for $1 900 was paid to the at torney. He retained $18550 for his grievance committee that she did not widow. Of the sum retained by him $50 was money loaned. The rest was his charge for professional services. Mrs. Foster deemed the charge ex- cessive consulted friends and she was advised to place her case with the grievance committee of the bar which she did. After the adjournment of the hearing yesterday the lawyer return ed S11175 to Mrs. Foster as in the opinion of the bar committee he had overcharged his client, if client she was. The committee has not indicated what it's finding will be.

MCGUIRE HELD
 FOR TERRE HAUTE
Accomplished Palmist Un- able to Raise a Bond of $5O0-Indiana Officers on the Way to Get Him.

\, Clyde Mcclure, alias Galena Fully,
 the Clairvoyant and palmist arrested
 yesterday by order of Superintendent
 Birmingham was held by Judge Pull men in the city court this morning as
 6. fugitive from justice and his bond
 was fixed at $500. Attorney J. B. Klein
 appeared for Mcclure. The prisoner had SIP on his person when arrested and the police fear that he will be able to raise the bond and escape them.
 Mcclure is wanted at Terre Haute, Ind, and also at Rochester, N. Y. He came here a week ago and opened as- trological parlors at 701 Myrtle avenue. He is well advanced in years and has for the greater part of his life made an easy living by attaching himself to the dollars of the credulous. His arrest was the result of the unfailing eye of Superintendent Birmingham who never forgets a face. He recog- nized McClure's countenance on a cir cular the palnist had issued in this city. Detective Fox made the cap ture. Last night Superintendent Bir- mingham received a telegram from the chief of police at Terre Haute, asking him to hold the prisoner at all hazards. He will start for this city It is believed that Nc Cure is wanted in other cities for oth- CT offenses. He had an extensive col lection of interesting fortune telling papers on his person.

Strong MonosyIIables,

Instructors in the art of literary composition usually condemn a string of monosyllables, but in the well known hymn Lead, Kindly Light" {" written by master of the English language, you may count thirty con- secutive words of one syllable only. They offend neither the eye nor the ear.
 Milton often uses a series of mono syllables. In the second book of "Par- adise Lost" we have:
 The fend Ger bog or steep, through strait, rough,
 dense or rare, With head. hands. wings or feet pursues
 his way And swims or sinks or wades or creeps
 or flies. Such lines are not uncommon in the book: .- Rocks, caves, lakes, fens, bogs, dens and
 shades of death. @ And again:
 Of neither sea nor shore nor air nor fire.
