When Is A $4,000 Fee

The above is funny question to be
asked, hut in the light of the famous
$4,000 fee now being liUigat.d bciole
the Orphans Court, and which is so wide
ly discussed by the papers, it might be
interesting to give the answers Of the
lawyers who testified last week, before
the Court regarding the same.
A hypothetical case was stated to the
lawyers placed on the stand by the plain
titfs, which question recited all the SER
vices performed by Messrs. Stoner, Vein
berg and Harp in the Tucker estate, and
they were then asked to give their opin-
ion as to what they thought reasonable

rectly in the case. which number ten,
the above testifying lawyers represent
nearly one-half of the remaining mem
bers of the Frederick Bar.
1t is interesting to layman, to say
the least, to see the testimony OF what
one set of lawyers think Of another set
of lawyers fees.
The case as it last stood, was where
the Judges of the Orphans Court were
placed on the stand and testified as to
what their individual conversation had
been with the lawyers who had received
the $lO, 900 fee, which was to the effect
that they had never made any promise of
the allowance of any such fee. nor h"d
they intimated what they would allow,
except that they told the laws ers that
they should get the agreement of all the
parties interest and then they would al
low whatever amount had been agreed
upon.
In las, Saturdays Frederick papers
there appeared athdavits of the Attor-
neys getting the fee, denying and fatty
coutradicting the Judges Of the Orphans
Court.
The final outcome will be awaited with
interest.

the previous fall. They were Golden

Minnesota. He said he would sell
them for a dollar each.
Right here lies the secret of the
farmers difficulty with purebred
fowls-rhe reason why SO many farm
ers who will breed from nothing but
registered stations stin sticks to the
scrub cock. This fancier said that
the four hens mentioned above were
valueless to him, because when bred
to male of his own strain, they pro-
duced young in whose feathers the
black which should be confined to the
lacing was mixed up with the gold
center, where there should be no
black. AS soon as new blood is in
troduced into a winning strain OF
fancy fowls. the fine points in color
are lost. In the game to win, fan
cier will sacrifice everything in the
way of utility for points; If he does
not he will not win in the leading
shows.
The fact that out-breeding always
proves fatal to fancy points makes
line breeding absolutely essential to
a successful fancier. He must breed
together fowls of the same blood or
lose the fine points upon which the
decision in the show room hangs.
