Probably no educational institution
In our country has ever graduated two
more eminent and eloquent lawyers
than old Dartmouth college gave us
In Daniel Webster and Rufus Choate," !"
says a writer In Our Dumb Animals.
"It was my privilege as member Of
the Suffolk bar to attend many years
ago the trial Of one Of the most i'm
portant cases of the year in our su-
preme judicial court at Boston.
"On the two sides were arrayed
some half dozen Of our most emil
nent lawyers. Daniel Webster and
Rufus Choate, as 1t happened, were on
the same side.
"A hostile witness was put on by
the other side, some of whose evidence
was of the utmost Importance to Web
ster and Choate. IL it could be OBJ
tained, and Choate undertook the task
Of obtaining it. No man at our bar
had more profound skill in cross ex-
animation. and the questions he put
to the witness were like the fire of a
Maxim gun. but in every instance he
failed to get the evidence he wanted
and finally sat down in despair.
"Then Webster, who had been sitting
in his great armchair. apparently about
half asleep, as though taking no inter-
est In the case whatever. slowly arose
to his feet. put his great eyes on the
hostile witness. asked him in the most
serious tone a single question and
brought instantly the required answer.
Then as quietly he sat down and ap-
parently went about half asleep again.
1t was scene photographed on my
mind, never to be forgotten.
"The difference between Webster
and Choate cannot better be explained
as it rests in my mind than to com
pare Choate to n Maxim gun raining
bullets of eloquence wherever he chose
and Webster to a great gun that can
send out thirteen inch shell to pene-
trate an ironclad.
ut was wonderful to listen to
Choate. l remember a case in which
an ordinary lawyer would have sim
ply said to the court that he moved a
postponement of the case because wit
ness So-and-so was sick. but In this
case Choate arose and commenced by
saying that his important witness was
on bed Of sickness and perhaps a
bed of death and so went whirling up
almost to the skies on this simple mo-
tion, to the great interest Of everybody
that heard him.
sour old chief justice. Judge Shaw.
one Of the greatest lawyers Of his
time, was plain, practical man. and
looked in his old age as he sat on the
bench somewhat like a Chinese idol,
and he used to frequently cut off Mr..
Choate's eloquence by calling him back
to the plain facts"

testified that Johnson was using a small
corner seat and blocking the egress OF

arrested johnson and sent him to the

TARIFF STIPULATION IN BIDS

has probably resulted in the loss OF a
contract by one of the bidders and in an
increased cost to the District for some

In making recommendations for the let

of awards says:

therefore we are of the opinion that
their bid should not be considered. for the
reason that this committee is not cog
infant of what action Congress may take
in regard to the tariff on teas and cof-
fees. and for the further reason that the
District cannot wait longer for this in

Company In favor of Alfred Lewis, who
filed suit to recover $4,000 for personal
injuries alleged to have been sustained

run over by one Of the auto-wagons of

court ordered a jury Of inquisition to be
impaneled to determine the amount of
Judgment to be awarded against the COM
pany.
The decision is OF special interest to
joint stock companies. as 1t allows suit
to be brought against the company by its
name and not against the individual part
ners or the trustees of the company. Re-
lying on the fact that the Adams Express
Company is not a corporation, the COM
panys counsel did not make answer to
the suit, which was filed against the
Adams Express Company"
