LAWYERS IN GERMANY.
Not Allowed to Advertise While
Statute Fixes Their Fees.

The German law fixes the exact fees
which a German attorney has to claim
for all kinds of professional work and
the rechtSanwalt can charge neither
more than less.
These fees apply to all matters of
the civil code and of criminal cases.
The amount depends exclusively on
the value of the object of contention.
1t is an old though still unfulfilled
wish of German lawyers to have new

old and low standard of the year 1879.

His position in society is between
officials and scholars. and through
custom and law he is compelled to
keep the position to the last degree.
This compulsion to keep ones rank has
given rise to the existence of COM
mittees called anwaltskammern. whose
duty It is to keep strict watch that
no lawyer dishonors his calling. These
committees have strict code of pun

from office. In this way the lawyers

REJECTING THE DERELiCT.
Aged Russian Who Dyed Whskers to
Look Young peported

Some comment has arisen upon a
painful incident which was recently re
ported from the local immigrant sta
ton. An aged Russian was so DESTROYS
of entering this country that he tried
to dye his beard so as to make himself
appear younger than he was. The trick
was detected and an investigation was
made. He was found to be not q Grim :
inal nor suffering from any contagious
disease. But he was so old as to be
port. he had scarcely any money or
other property. and he had no relatives
or friends here who would take care
of him. He was therefore likely to be-
come a charge upon the public for sup
port and he was accordingly excluded
and doported
1t was q sad case. The diSappoint-
nlent Of the poor old man was heartren-
ding. He had come hither hoping to
spend his last years in at least less
discomfort and privation than he had
suffered in Russia. He probably had
hoped to engage in some profitable oc-
curatlon suited to his years. or. failing
that to find here a more abundant
charity than Russia afforded. But he
vas sent back to the lot from which he
had fed. even worse off than he had
been before he came hither. since
much of his scanty means had been
srent on the fruitless voyage. 1t is
not pleasant to imagine the feelings
With which he returned from the inhoS

Yet practically the incident was inev-

tentially unique. it would have been in

Governor Fernald S speech was followed
by a most able address by Hon. Frederick
A. Powers of Houlton. He spoke of the
tariff and where most tariff addresses
are duh Mr.. Powers proved interesting
He showed by bills of fare that he took
from two different hotels recently that
the different things had been reduced by
the Payne tariff and that only in one
case did he find that the tariff was great

Dingley tariff. that being on lemon jelly.
Mr.. Powers impressed upon the minds
Of the people that it was necessary for
them to stand by their obligations to the
Republican party this year He put the
question to Plaisted asking him. after all
the charges of extravaganza by the pres
ent Governor. what item of expense
would he, If elected Governor. cut out.
Mr. Powers said that Democrat was
always of that pessmistc mind Every
thing was going to the bad He likened

| Perry of the barkentine Kingdom Of
the Sanford societys fleet stating
that the brigantine had gone ashore
near Yarmouth, N. S. The dispatch
stated that all on board were safe but
that fears were entertained for the
ships safety.
The telegram was addressed to Rev

Shiloh, but who is at Barters island
1t was received by Elder Shaw. who

Whether Sanford himself was on
board is not definitely known. but it is
generally believed that he was on
board the yacht Coronet, another of his
vessels.
Just why the Kingdom should be off
Yarmouth is not known. as her move
ments for the last few months have
been shrouded in a great deal of mys-
terry and no one outside of the society
