Camps Ungratified Desire

modities which were represented by
these checks and drafts and which
have taken place in any one day
would exactly balance one another,
just as if you snapped your pocket
knife for somebody else's penholder
on an even basis. The more
thought of this the more anxious be-
came that it should happen at some
time during my service as manager
of the clearing house that the ex-
changes would exactly balance, so
that there would not be a dollar to
pay over to any one. And at last this
became my pet ambition.
But though this desire came to me
a full decade ago, have never been
able to see it gratified. There have
been few times when exchanges
which aggregated a hundred millions
or thereabout have been made with a
few hundred dollars balance to pay.
l remember wildly that one day was
overjoyed with the prospect that the
exchanges would balance exactly.
What a triumph that would have
been! But l was disappointed at the
last moment. And now, every day
when | come here, say to myself
that hope this is to be the day when
the exchanges will exactly balance"
Perhaps year later 1 met Mr..
Camp again and asked him if at any
time during the year the exchanges
had balanced

added sadly: But l feel sure it will

Circumstances of the Admission of
Gerrit Smith to Bar of New
York State as Told by
Judge Davis.

Il suppose that no lawyer who has
been given more or less prominent
niche in the history of our county was
older at the time OF his admission to
the bar than was Gerrit Smith when
that event happened in his life" said
the late Judge Noah Davis of the New
York bench, who gained national prom
inence in 1873 when he presided over
the trial which resulted in the con-
viction of that arch CRATER, William
M. Tweed, on charges Of forgery and
grand larceny.
"Gerrit Smith-the same Gerrit
Smith who simultaneously was one OF
the country's leading abolitionfsts and
largest land owners, the friend OF
John Brown through all his adventures
and yet one of the three men who
went on the bail bond Of Jefferson

prisonment in Fortress Monroe after

MY father received the two gen
tlemen very politely" said Gilbert H.
Jones, who inherited the Times from
his father. He knew perfectly well
what they had called for He had
only a day or two before gone over
with Mr.. Lewis j. Jennings, then the
managing editor of the Times >and
afa&rward a member of the English
parliament, all of the proof sheets OF
the first exposure of the Tweed ring.
1t vas through Mr.. Jennings that the
bargain was first made by which the
Times came into possession of the
discriminating documents copied from
the books of the comptroller of New
York city, Connolly, who was a mem
Der of the Tweed ring.
After the formal greetings were
over, one of the gentlemen said to
my father that he had heard that the
Times newspaper property was for
sale. Father replied that he had not
said to anyone that he was willing
or anxious to sell the Times. Then
the lawyer said to my father:
81 suppose you would sell the
Times, Mr. Jones, provided you got
the right kind of an offer for it
At don't know about that replied
my father. That might depend upon
who wanted to buy 1t.
We'll, we are prepared. Mr..
James, the lawyer continued, to

Clerks Get No Sunday Salary.

An Interpretation of the law
that will result in a saving to the
state of $4,000 or $4,000 each BIZ
ennial period was made by Attorney
General Bancroft in an opinion where
in he holds that legislative employees
are not entitled to pay for Sundays.
1t has been the practice of the state
ever since time beyond the memory
of the present generation to pay leg
islatfve employees for every day, Sun
days and all, from the opening of the
session to the end.
The law provides for eighty-four
regular legislative employees, besides
the two chief clerks and two SER
geants-at-arms, who are paid by the
session be it long or short These
eighty-four employees receive a total
of 1919 per day. The recent session
of the legislature lasted from January
IA to July 16, making twenty-seven
Sundays, or $8,613.
Not only were these regular en-
ployes allowed for every Sunday, but
all the employees of special legislative
committees, and there have been
numerous of such in recent years,
have been similarly favored under
rule of common practice There are
two such committees existing at the
present time, the insurance investigat-
ing committee and the school book
committee.
Secretary of State Frear, whose
duty it is to audit these claims, re-
Gently became suspicious that the
practice would not hold water and
Chief Clerk L. B. Nagler framed the
proposition and submitted it to Attor-
ruling
The question was referred to Dep
uty Attorney General Russell Jackson,
who submitted an opinion holding that
such employees were not entitled to
such pay.
In my opinion says Mr.. Jackson,
this statute QUOTED in the opfnion)
covers the case of such employees.
am of the opinion that court you'd
not construe this work (that done by
legislative employes) as work Of
necessity or charity, and that these
employees are not entitled to COM
pensation for work done on Sundays.
There is no provision in the
statutes of which l am aware prohibit
ing the doing of work on legal holt
days. 1 believe that if such employees
actually work on legal holidays they
would be entitled to their per diem
for such work as if such days were
not legal holidays"

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
lcine we know of has such q record
of cures as has Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been

prostration, and it is unequalled for

Frozen Reets May Be Poisonous.

Recent Investigations in the college
OF agriculture of the University Of
Wisconsin tend to show that when
beets are frozen and afterwards al
low ed to thaw they often prove dam
gerous food for live stock. A poison
Gus substance is produced in the pro-
cesses Of freezing and thawing which
causes sudden paralysis of the heart.
Beets that have not been frozen are
an excellent food for stock.

For Perfect Coffee.

Java and Mocha coffees are not SUI
perior because of the locality of their
growth, but for the way they are
cured. The berry's sweet pulp, accord
ing to the Tea and Coffee Trade Jour
nal, must not be too much fermented.
The thick, dry parchment shell and
the thinly laced silver skin lying next
the bean are unfavorably affected by
INSTRUMENTATION; the bean itself
turns black, and. eventually, to the
discriminating quaffer, the coffee will
