Judoe's incorporating Comment
Rather Hard on Brother Men,
Der of the Bar.

In the supreme court in Brooklyn
Mrs. Jennie Caulfeld was trying TO
convince Justice Marean that she
ought to have a separation from her
husband, John, because he was a
drunkard and sometimes drank as
much as a pint of whisky before
breakfast.
Justice Marean looked searchinSly
at a ford, full-faced man sitting at
the right of the defendants counsel.
Having completed the scrutiny, he
turned to the lawyer and said sharply:
1T seems reasonable. IT looks as
though he was capable of it."
A queer expression crossed the law
yer's face and broke into a grin.
"That isn't my client" he said. "He
isn't in court We understood that
this case would be tried in the after

"Humph!" said the father, grimly.
"And if an old Chinaman is ailing,"

20 ahead with a rush so as to
get it enclosed before the stormy
weather sets in.
1t takes concerted action to
secure results in all business as
we'll as other enterprises. Min
ing also has its problems, which
will yield only to the action of
the mine operators acting alto
gether for a common cause. The
week has just noted one step
taken by the operators of the
Miami camp wherin their united
action seems certain of bringing
relief from exorbant fuel bills,
wherein they felt they had cause
for complaint and have gotten
together for its rectifcation.
Last winter the camp was sup
piled by an oil company with
fuel oil. Nearly every mine in
the camp took up its use and it
became very profitable to pipe
the oil all over the camp. At
each plant two oil tanks were
placed and filled from the pipe
lines. For this oil the
piping company demanded some
thing over dollar per barrel.
The oil furnished was not crude
petroleum but residue oil, that
is all the kerosene, gasoline and
benzine have been removed at
the refneries and the product
disposed of at Miami is purely a
byproduct or waste product as
far as the re6ueries selling it are
concerned. When this was learn
ed by the operators they quickly
saw they were paying too much
for their fuel, and demanded in
lividually a reduction in the cost.
Tere was scant relief given, but
there was an appearance at least
of granting the mine operators
some advantage and the price
was reduced to IS cents per bar
rel, which price is now paid.
Fortunately FIR the camp there
are some oil operators also oper'
ating in the mines there, and
they are as cognizant of the cost
of producing oil as they are Of
producing zinc, and they kicked
good and hard upon the imposit-
ion of their fuel bills They
we're able to tell the other mine
operators that such oil could moi
be bought and shipped in tanks
laid down at the mines for some
thing over 80 cents per barrel Oh
practically Qns-thirdd Of what is
, now being demanded for such
fuel. Then It was that the oper
ators got together and have sub
mitted to other companies who
, sell oil specifications for furnish
ing the Miami camp with oil
fuel. These specifications art

Dilliehunty has been in the peniten
tiary fourteen years, and the appeal
for clemency states that he entered a
plea of guilty and voluntarily waived
trial with the understanding that he
would get a pardon after serving a

make inquiry to ascertain whether
such promise was held out to the
negro, and on what authority it was
based.

addresses made in 1S4S contained the
following,
THE driving of pirate from the
track of commerce in the broad ocean,
and the removing of a snag from its
more narrow path in the Mississippi
river cannot, | think, be distinguished
in principle. Each is done to save
life and property, and to use the
waterways for promoting commerce
The most general object
can think of would be the improve
