In cleaning the silver and looking aftes, a customer, now and then.
 To one of these young Clarke con fieded that he hoped to be a lawyer some day, The customer held up his hands In horror. "I have been law yer for 20 years" said he, land it's a starving game" Soon after Edward Clarke. started his legal career. chance ordained that he and this former GUS toner should be on opposite sides in an important case and Clarke won. Af- ter the verdict tho older man came up to Clarke and said; 'I told you once that you would staive if you went in for the law. But have changed my mind You will make your fortune" |" And so, indeed. he did, Incidentally he is the only K. c. of Kings council- Tor. who has refused a judgeship.
 It was Sir Edward Clarke who de- fended Sir William Gordon cumings in the famous "Baccarat case,a in which the late King Edward, then Prince of Wales, was said to have "perjured him self like gentleman, and among Clarke's other famous successes at the bar have been the "Penge mystery" the great Spink pearl and the "Pimlico mystery,'' in the latter Of which he secured the acquittal of woman named Bartlett with a speech that rarely has been Surpassed.
 Made History in Parliament
 In his parliamentary career too. Sir Edward Clarke made quite a lot of history He was first returned as a tory, for Southwark in 1880, and Lord Beaconsfield thought he saw in this capture of a seat from the radicals the indorsement of his policy by the electors, so he dissolved Parliament and suffered general rout. Sir Edward, however. kept his seat, and achieved a political reputation. and when the unionists returned to power in 1888, he was appointed olisitor general and kept that position until 1892 In 1893. when Gladstone moved the second read ing of the home rule bill, Sir Edward Clarke was selected by Balfour to make the reply on behalf of the government and scored great triumph. But Joe Chamberlain succeeded in getting him drummed out of the party because he would not indorse tariff reform.
 Among other things, this great law yer and -stenographer has found time to invent system of shorthand of his own and also an abbreviated form of long hand which he calls. believe, swifthand. Not especially distinguis sh ed looking. he affects a grey frock coat, which no one ever has seen unbuttoned. Sir Edwards o1d-fashioned sidewhis- kers, too. are a perpetual red rag to that arch enemy OF "face-fungus, Frank Richardson.

London, July 4.-(Special)- )-One of Eng lands greatest lawyers and parliamen- tarians and the acknowledged head of the legal profession in this country is about to retire from the practice of law just as he also retired from the political arena a few years ago. This is Sir Ed ward Clarke, K. C., who began life as boy clerk in a jewelry shop, and could have been lord chief justice of England had he cared to quit the bar for the bench, and who, on his retirement, will be paid tribute by the most distin- guished members of the profession to which he belongs that previously has been paid to only two men, one of them, by the way, an American
 Sir Edward Clarke, who is within a few months of completing his iftieth year at the bar, and whose income is said to be not less than $1500O0 year, will retire from practice at the close of the so-called Trinity sessions, at the end of the present month. and on July r will be entertained at dinner by the bench and bar in IAncoln's Inn hall. The lord chancellor will preside over this gathering of the flower of the legal profession in treat brltaln, ana It Is likely that both the prime minister and Sir Edward Car son, dropping their political feud for the moment also will be present. not to men tion the lord chief justice, the master of the rolls and a host of other legal lum- inaries.
 Accorded Only to Two Men
 Only twice before has member of the English bar been so hdnored The first time was in 1885, when the late Judah P. Benjamin, the famous Queen $ councillor of American birth whose ghost Is said to haunt the classic temple. was entertained in the Inner Temple hall, and the second when Herbert Henry Asquith. the present premier, was feted in the same hall in celebration of his appoint ment to the highest executive office in the land. At the last mentioned feast the toast of the evening was proposed by Sir Edward Clarke, to whom. in the course of his reply Premier Asquith paid nne tribue.

It is doubtful, too, whether AL gernon Charles Swinburne liked the frankly expressed opinion of Sir Ed ward, no mean literary critic, that the formers "Rosariund' should be burned, nor Rudyard Kipling his distum that 'Stalkey & Co. was a disgrace to mod ern literature" but among lawyers the great advocate has naught but enthu- siastic admirers
 Taken all in all. the commercial an- nals Of this country contain few stories of self -amed men to match the hundred and one that have come from the other side of the Atlantic, but that of Sir Edward Clarke certainly may be claimed as one of these few We have, for example, one picture of him as Il boy assistant, who slept under the counter of his fathers shop in King William street, bringing down the pa ternal wrath on himself by his avowed intention of quitting the business.

 In the interim Sir Edward had been a writer" in the Indian offie and n stenographer in the press gallery of the House of Commons, and meanwhile had succeeded in winning the Tancred law scholarship. He was admitted to the bar in 1864. and during his first 12 months as barrister made just under $500. In less than 13 years. how ever, he had brought his income up to $15,000.

War Riots Break Out In London.

Agitation to bar natives OF hostile

took the form of rioting in several To-
calities.
The demonstrations were partlcu'

borough of London, where a number
of German shols were wrecked
and one set on fire by mobs.
The police had their hands full to
keep down more serious activities by

of London.
German and Austrian walters are
being ousted from the big hotels and
restaurants of London on a wholesale
scale. Among the latest places to tali

WEDN ESDAY.

Attacks by German forces all along
the Franco-Belgian frontier increased
in violence, with the arrival of rein
forcements which have been hurried
to the front, according to an official
statement from Paris.
Heavy fighting is reported from
Nieuport, through Dixmunde to La
Bassee, south of Lille. Thus far, the
Paris statement asserts, the allies have
held firmly at all points, and at some
places have driven the Germans back.
It is also announced in Paris that
the French forces have gained ground
along the river Meuse, in the extreme
eastern part of the battlefield.
A dispatch from Petrograd says that
the Russians have captured a large
quantity of artillery near Lyck, in
East Prussia, and that in the opera

they have taken fifty guns and many
prisoners from the Germans.

RUSSIA CL AIMS
BIG VICTORY
Declares German Army Has
Been Repulsed
ADVANCE OH WHOLE LINE
kaiser's Forces Approached Within
Fifteen MiIes of Warsaw Before!
They Were Hurled Back.

The Russians have won a great vic
tory over the German main forces.
which are in full retreat.
The force now beaten is Germany'S
best army against Russia. 1t was op-
Grating toward Warsaw between the
Bzura and the Pilitza, continents of
the Vistula.
South of the Pilitza river the Ger
man forces are still holding their po.
sitions, but this is merely matter or
time, since the Russians are now on
the flank and partly in the rear of the
German armies.
The Germans approached to within
lfteen miles of Warsaw, and their
shells reached parts Of the outlying
suburbs. The hardest fighting was
with the forces astride of the railway
from Skernievice, within a few miles
of Warsaw. The Germans apparently
made their last stand here.
The Seventeenth and Eighte aath
German Army corps $4,000 menl had
made desperate efforts to attack, here,
out the Russians continued to ad-
vance, sending cavalry arc md the
German left rear and infantry to the
left flank from the fortress of Noyo-
georgievsk, while other forces, which
had crossed the Vistula eighteen
miles south of Warsaw, increasingly
threatened their right. The Russians
compelled the Germans to retreat and
quickly turned the retreat into rout.
When tie main object OF the strate-
sic plan-namely, to crush the Ger
man active army forces, while leaving
the second rate troops of reserves and
Austrians to be dealt with later-had
been thus achieved, the Russians then
moved forward along the whole line,
some 260 miles in length, from the
Carpathians to the Vist0a, and are
still advancing.
On the extreme soutA the Austrianss
under German command, are suffer-
ing much more severely than the
Germans on the Vistula front. South
of Przemysl the Austrian corps are
only a half-organized force, the regi-
ments being split up among various
corps in confusion, caused either by
distrust or mixed nationalities or as
q consequence of enormous losses
suffered last month in the great .iAah.
clan field.
