given last evening at East Lake by Mr..

picnic luncheon was served soon after
the arrival of the young people at the

Speaking of John G.. Carlisle, the
Memphis News Scimitar pays tribute
to his marked ability as leader n
congress and his great service to the
country and the Democratic party
but refutes all that it says in praise
of the man when 1t says: He turn
ell coat on the silver question; he
dabblei and iob-lotted with the ma
tons bonds and became an opostate
with those amongst whom he had
grown into national prominence. .
This sounds like Wanton SANDER OF
the illustrious dead. There Is enough
in the-political and financial histories
OF the country to prove beyond ali
question that Carlisle was one of the
heroes of 1896, saving the country and
his party, at great personal sacrifice,
from what would have been great
financial crime. Carlisle and Cleve
land have been repeatedly justified
by the people of the country, in the
defeat Of Mr.. Bryan and what he
stood for.

esty all would be well and to obtain
an aequitta would mean much. AS far
as future practice was concerned Like
most suspects, the client was PENN
less. SO to produce the necessary evi.
dence II was needful TO provide the
means.
The advocate gave his client a five
franc piece-about ST and suggested
that he should take 1t to the police and
say he found 1t in the street ana thus
obtain receipt. The client acqui-
esced. went TO the police office and re-
turned with a receipt. The advocate
gave cursory glance at tie docu-
ment and tied 1t up with hs bris', lit
tie thinking Of the sequel,
On the day OF the trial the yauug ad-
vocate relied entirely on the police re.
ceipt and thus terminated his appeal
to the jury.s
Il have document which shows
that during the past week my client
found tive franc piece IN the street.
and without delay he took Il to the

Then he triumphantly handed the
document to the president of the court.
The judge examined it closely and
asked;

"Yes. Mr., President" was the reply.
II am quite sure as to that"
But" said the president. the re-
