Probably no educational institution

more eminent and eloquent lawyers

Daniel Webster and Rufus Choate,"
says "a writer in Our Dumb Animals.
1t was my privilege as a 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.
ION the two sides were arrayed some
half dozen of our most eminent law

Choate. as it happened, were on the

"A hostile witness was put on by the

sat down in despair.

OIL my mind, never to be forgotten;
THE difference between Webster
and Choate cannot better be explained,
as 1t rests in my mind, than to com
pare Choate to a Maxim gun raining
bullets of eloquence wherever he chose,
and Webster to great gun that can
send out a thirteen inch shell to pene-
trate an ironclad. '&g
1T was wonderful to listen to
Choate. I remember a case in which:
an ordinary lawyer would have sim
ply said to the Court that he moved

this case Choate arose and commenc-

simple motion, to the great interest
of everybody that heard him.

Beginning with Home, Sweet
Home" a hilarious farce, by Ernest
Anderson and Madge Burt, showing
a pair of newly webs first live row,
and giving some recently married
ones in the audience excellent
pointers on how to get through
life's stormy sea, the performance
at the Washington this week
pleases the majority nearly all the
way through. Kessler & Dunn's
dancing is clever. Burt Sheppard,
it is safe to say, manipulates his
long keen whips in startling
style and gets painfully close to
his assistants fingers and faces In
cutting cards and taking ashes of
cigars. Toma Hanlon, in male
types, makes hit with her recita
tions and songs. Some with sad
memories ON dark war days and
of loved ones who never returned
are brought to tears by the sing
ing of AL Cameron & Co. in 1.-THE
Last of the Regiment" 1t is a
story in song of the days of '65
just after the war. They are some
singers.

The Egyptian pantomime dane
ing act of La Loie Helene is the
bright spot in program of other
wise ordinary merit at the Pan
tages this week. Helene appears
as Cleopatra, and while awaiting
the return of Antony and his army
does dance of joy. On learning
of Antony's death she resorts to
her familiar style of suicide by the
bite of a poisonous snake and in
her final moments does a wild and
fantastic dance of death. The
dancing is artistic and graceful, the
costuming brilliant and the whole
act makes a pretty picture. Nc
