Tall anil white haired David Dudley Field hernia his heavy eyebrows on you and listens as attentively as though ho wore hearing some knotty point discussed, "lis n habit all great lawyers have, this ill' DAVID DUDLKV FIELD, tenso attention to what is being said. Al though Mr. Field has retired from tho pro fession at the head of which ho once stood, hla Interest In tho affairs of tho day is as keen as ever and his grasp of n subject as marked. Ho seems to havo but ono object now to sco the Field codes, as they aro called, adopted by Now York state. "My Idea Is briefly hummed up In this," ho said to me. "That which tho citizen must obey should be written down." Of tho llvo codes, tlioso of civil procedure, tho iional and tho crim inal procedure havo boon adopted, whllu tho civil codo and that of evidence yet re main unauthorized by tho state. "The judges do not know tho law," ho said, "for tho law today is composed of a multitude of decisions, shading Into each other with ImpcrccptlblodllTercnces. There is as much law on ono side as on tho other. It was never Intended that this should be, and I waul to see the law once more sim ple, plain, cosy to understand." Mr. Field haa a charming courtesy, remi niscent somewhat of that which it called t ho old school. Ho Is u courtly man, with a gentle humor and n way of placing tho most intricate problems before you that mnkes them seem simplicity itself. Hin codo of civil procedure as first promulgated haa been adopted by Kugland in tho uct of i:x-oovi:iiNon oeoroe iioault. Judicature, and under that title Is tho law for tho United KitiKdom. India and tho South African colonics. George Hoadly, ex-governor of Ohio, Is ono of the most prominent politicians in the country Hois senior partner of thu Arm of Hoadly Lautorhach & .Johnson, a ieadlug authoMty In the United States on tho subject of trusts, by virtue of the fact that ho drew ho Standard Oil company deed, an Instrument that no legal subtlety has yet been able to Ret around or break, and unquestionably ono of tho llrst lawyers lu the land. If you havo ever seen a cat watching the spot in the wainscot whero she has heard . mouse nibble you can form an Idea of Gov ernor Homily's manner toward a witness. Staudiug with his hands behind his back, ho Axes his eyes on tho unfortunate in tho chair whom ho is cross examining, and, swaying slightly backward and forward as bespeaks, he lepeatst lie answers given, fol lowing them Instantly with questions, and all in a loud, monotonous voice. He refers to no memoranda, ho scums to need none. Tho ease, the testimony given and the points involved are his, even as tho alpha bet belongs to most of us COI. ItllltKItT 11. IMIKIISOLI. The rapidity with which the questions aru put is wonderful No tinio is given for thought or reflect ion They como as comes thu water down the waste weir of an over (lowing dam The head in prolllu Is a dome, at thu base of which is the gray brown hair The beard Is gray, ami the sight Is aided by steel rimmed spectacles, supplemented at times by eyeglasses The speech Is fu'l of western phrase, tho manner is (puck and the expression of the facu Is that of pure Intelligence Watching the man enables ono Vo understand why he is on a round of the ladder of success wheiu there am so few others Col, Ingcrsoll Is personally onu of the moHtcliarmiugof men. Tohear him laugh is to havo thu sense of humor aroused at once. Peculiarly kindly, too, in his views of tho acts and speech of otha-. he Is char r M " LA 1 liable In his opinions, men of those who deuounco him most hilt trly. Ills voice Is full and aw cot. Eloquent as am many pas sages In his published orations they gain nu added charm from tho muslo of tho de livery. In tho milliner of Col. Ingcrsoll there Is much that suggests a boy. There Is tliu same Interest in tho subject for tho mo ment, thosnmo hearty enjoyment. of that wlileh strikes his fancy. You are con vinced that ho would like lo roll on tho grass or Ho there, kicking up his heels, whllu ho planned expeditions with or told stories to "tho Ikijh." Hut whllu this Is thu feeling lie excites when you aro with him hi the ollleo there Is a far lUHcrcnt Impression gained when you listen to him on the platform, There thu man seems to dilate, to become greater In stature, with a sense of control oxer his audience. For hu ii ono who can play on tho emotional sldo of our natures at will. At his cradlo tho twin sisters who rule over tears and laugh tor ave him a part of their power. It Is the sudden transition from thu ono to tho other that makes his public speak ing so effect I vu. Yet at times ho strikes a grander chord, and into thu harmonies weaves patriotism, honor, truth and Jus tice Then it is that thu norxes of him who listens shall tingle, and thoughts girator than aiu Ills wont shall llll thu brain, No power Is liku unto that of eloquence, no delight equal to that which thu orator may feel, Of the one as of tho other HnWrt (I, logcrsnll has had inoro than Is tho lot of most men, Physically a small man with a largo head, hands and feet almost tiny, with lit tle hair, and that of a dark color, a very short, mustache and a face lined and seamed rm i kfe' LMi J mM-r Mm A.

A quick, de cisive manner, rapid decision, conclusions that aru intensely practical and a courngu that no dllllculty can daunt. Tills Is A. II. Hummel, the Junior partner of tho famous firm of Howe & UuuimeL Tho place of leader at tho criminal bar Is onoiioteaslly reached, yet when gained the rewards are largo in reputation as well as money. That Howe & Hummel occupy this position in New York no ono would question, and much of their success lias been due to tho shrewdness and ability of tho Junior partner, lie It Is that prepares tho c-.ses, that suggests a share of that subtle policy that has so often won. Tho time when lie was called hy u iilcknamo has gone by; the brain of thu lawyer has commanded tho respect of tlioso who know him. He who talks for llvo minutes to Mr. Hummel forgets tho stature of tho man lu Ills admiration for tho ability, the power, tho shrewdness of his thoughts. If Mr. Hummel can le got hold of away from his ofllce ho Is a delightful com pan- DAMKL DOUOllKItTV. Ion. Ills wit Is soinewhatcynlcal, as might 1k expected from one who has so long looked on tho seamy side of life, yet It is not unkindly. His sen so of humor Is strong, and ho is quick to appreciate in others a story us good as some of those ho himself tells. In tho courts tho lawyer who has to meet Mr. Hummel does not, if lie is wise, neglect any precautions that may bo taken. "Do not call mu 11 great lawyer," said Mr. Daniel Dougherty to me, "because I am not. I only wish I were. You may say if you like that 1 havu had a measure of bticcess before juries," Mr. Dougherty's estimate of himself shows he lias taken thu advice of the psalmist to heart. Yet while his studies ntid thu evigeucies of his practice, aided, perhaps, hy a natural Ismt, have prevented application on his part to the law as a pure science, In his chosen Held Mr. Dougherty has ts-en very successful. Hu knows thu man in tho jury box by heart; ho knows what will appeal to him, what will sway his judgment or touch his feelings. Tho faces of the jury aru to Mr. Dougherty an open book, lie can tell exactly thu mo ment he is in rapport witli I hem. Nor is Mr. Dougherty an ordinary speak er. At times he rises to lllghts of true elo quence. Hu possesses that power of losing himself in tliu subject matter of his talk so essential to those who would impress others. Mr. Dougherty makes bis hearers believe him, because he has llrst madu himself Is'liuvo. His face is framed lu white hair and )iu possesses a high bred look. His ejes aru of beautiful Irish blue, but ill his voice there is not a trace of the Celtic tongue, unless it Ih-In the softness of some of tliu caressing Intonations. His manner Is marked by a peculiar deference, as subtly attractive as It Is dllllciilt to describe. Hu Is onu of those magnetic men whoso peisou allty Is impressive, and his Idea of happi ness is to have a gre.it subject, an attentive mid sympathetic audience and the oppor tunity to speak the thought that burns within Al.t'ltl D llAK'll.
