men who will ride or march on that
day are survivors of war which 90
the younger generations has become
almost ancient history. They are all
old men, though many of them will
not admit it.
There is this strange thing about
the celebration OF the day. The Civil
war became, before it ended, an anti
slavery war, but the men who were
prominent in the antislavery move

sions. They are gone. One can al
most count upon his fingers those who
remain. But the men who fought the
battles that were brought on by their
agitations still live, by hundreds of
thousands.
The explanation is a simple one.
The antislavery agitators we're ma
ture men-some of them old men. The
Civil war was fought, largely by
young men and youth More than
100000 enlisted at seventeen or be-
low that age; more than 1900. 900
were not more than twenty-one. Only
1851 were twenty-five and above.
and only 46,026 of these were twenty
five or above.
And so it happens that among the
marchers will be seen many who.
nearly fifty years after the close of
the war, will not appear to be old. So,
also, 1t happens that the pension rolls
contain the names of more than AGO.
900 veterans of the Civil war, who are
still living.
If one cares to compare these Sc
lected men with those who were re-
jected as physically unfit or defec-
tive, he will be interested in noticing
the Grand Army button on the lapels
of the coats of gray-headed men, as
he passes them in the street. The
little bronze button, or the smaller
red, white and blue button of the
Loyal Legion, appear very frequently,
and that in spite of the fact that hun
dreds of thousands of the men select
ed as At we're killed in battle or died
of wounds during the war, and many
others have since died from disease
contracted during the contest.
The youthfulness of those who made
up the army Of those days suggests a
thought not often made prominent In
discussions of the pension question.
While a pension is not designed to
recompense pecuniary losses incurred
by the pensioner in his service, IL is

right:

things that the average citizen could
not card index without looking them
up in a dictionary.
Despite the necessity of employing sci
entiiic names, which may give the lay
man trouble, the report is highly inter-

JUSTICE DENOUNCES
LEADING LAWYERS
"They Misrepresent Bar and Do
Injustice to Profession
Seabury Says.

There was considerable discussion
yesterday among alumni OF the New
York Law School of the remarks made
by Justice Samuel Seabury at the
dinner in his honor at the Knicker-
booker Saturday night. While the
burden of his talk was complimentary
to the bench and bar of New York, he
was careful to explain that there are
lawyers and lawyers.
"The influence of the lawyer as
citizen is farreaching and beneficial
he said. "Of course, l am speaking
of lawyers generally, and not Of those
little coteries or groups, CARRIED in the
livery of special privilege. who by
their activities, try to deceive the pub
lie into the belief that they are the
leaders of the bar. 1t is true that
our profession in this department is
burdened with a few men of this class.
They are not in any sense leaders OF
the bar, because they have no follow
ing either with the bar or the gen.
eral public.
They misrepresent the bar, and
their activities are largely responsible
for the fact that the general public
has not a. much confidence as it
ought to have. II is because of the
activities of those men that our bar
associations in this country have
ceased to be influential either with
the public or the members of the bar.
They do the profession an injustice
in assuming to speak for it.
Lawyers generally are too busy
with the affairs of other people to
attend to these professional matters,
and their associations, therefore, some
times fall into the control of few
busybodies who are actuated by par
tisan, selfish and unpatriotic motives"

His movements prior TO his arrest
add strength to the clew. He was dis
covered in the vestibule of St. Mary's

ton, James McCord. The sexton saw
the axe and revolver and noticed that
the intruder was without hat or shoes
and wore a heavy beard He fed with
out further investigation.
When McCord gave the alarm half
Gozen men turned out to search for the
man. He was picked up here, where
Chief Talbot tried to find out If he
had intended to harm the priest at ST.
Mary's, the Rev. Eugene l.. Sullivan.
Young insisted that he went into the
vestibule because he was tired. He ad
mits that he had been in jail before.
