DlulVn Is one of the busiest places in the
land , and the retail stores and many of

as days , and more hours are devoted to
business than in most cities of this si/o.
Even Sunday is not exempt from work
with many. For Council UlulVs to devote
even a noi lion of a holiday to rest and
recreation is thcrefoic more of a tribute
to the duv than for many other places lo
close up tight from morning till night.

The clerks in Elsoman & Co.'a store
gathered around Simon Kiseman Christ
mas eve , and through Mr. S , U. Stock
man , as spokesman , informed him that
there was a little matter which they
wanted him to settle before they left for
tlie night. He was surprised , and with
the thought of a possible strike on hand ,
was about to give expression to it and
oiler to arbitrate , when the explanation
of the my.story came in the pleating form
of an elegant gift to Mr. and Mro. Simon
Eibomaii , consisting of a bron/.o , with
plush frame , picturing in has relief , "Tho
Hear Hunt. " The gift was a very valu
able , one , and pri/.cd still more highly on
account of the feelings which led to such
an expression of the esteem of employes.
Mr. Henry Eisoman , who had modestly
retired to the otllco , on getting a hint of
how his brother wns bolug sowed , was
then surrounded by the employes , who
presented him with an elegant gold-
headed cane. The gift , like the other ,
was one which was a lilting expression ol
The Cbtcem felt for him , and was most
worthily bestowed. It is seldom thnt out
finds in so extensive an ostablismontniiel
a unanimity ot good feeling between cm
ploycrs and employes as in the People's

Now York Sun : "Doyou know , " said a
prominent member ot the bar tlio other
day , as ho watched Senator William
Maxwell Evarts sauntering along past
St. Mark's churchyard"that the senator's
lirst large fee as a lawyer didn't do him a
bit of pecuniary bonelitv"
The reporter didn't know it.
"Well , itV rather a good story , " the
lawyer said , "and as few lawyers even
remember it , it can bo told without nnj
fear of the chestnut annunciator. The
incident occurred in ' 843 , when Evarts
was only twenty-four years old , and a
slim young lawyer with an old-fashioned
choker collar , and his interrogative fore
linger just beginning to bo a noticeable
part of his practice. Ho was then a
criminal practitionor.and giving glimpses
of that peculiar mastery of sentences of
till bixcs which has kept pace witli the
ellectivo use of his forelingor.
Monroe Edwards , a very skillful and
conscientious penman , had forged a
check , got caught , and hired young
Evaits to save him from Sing Sing. The
rial came up on Jnnn 0 , and lasted six
lays. The future senator stabbed at wit-
icss after witness with his dentilv fore-
inner interiogatorles , and dually np-
icalcd to the jury for his client's acquit-
al , It was n marvellous speech , full of
ho lire and impetuosity of youthful en-
husiasm. It was the talk ol the cotuts
or mouths and undoubtedly laid the
basis of William Maxwell's fame as an
advocate. Hut tlio jury freed itself
rom the glittering heap of bril-
iant sentences that young Evarts
riled up on them , and found
'd wards guiltv. The judge complimented
l-'varts and then scut Ids client to Sing
Sing for ten year ? . The prisoner com-
ilimcnted Evarts on his eloquence , too ,
\nd just before he walked into the sheriff's
carriage lo go to the Sing Sing train gave
ho tall young advocate a neat ehecK ,
joaring the signature of a well known
nan. It was for several hundred dollars ,
and William Maxwell went proudly to
ho bank with it after he hail bade his
client good by.
" 'No good' , ' said the bank cashier ,
when Evarts handed it up for deposit.
" ' \ \ by ? ' cried young William Max
well , in amazement.
" ' The ignature is a forgery , sir , ' the
cashier responded.
"Jt is reported that this u us the only
occasion in his lifetime- that , given a
chance to use -ome vigorous and impres
sive 'onlPn.'cs. William Maxwell Evarts
ct the opportunity slip. Ho simply
stared at tlieclipck in silo.ce. "

hours before he delivered his now famous

ho was sitting in his room , when ex-
Senator Doolittlc .spoke about the boom
that was growing for the judge in tins
cast. "Well , " said the judge. "I don't
think much of this boom business. I
have not said I was a candidate for
president , anyhow , and even if I was it
is too early now to talk of what will hap
pen two years hence. "
"I don't think , " said a bystander ,
"that ( ircsliam cares about being elected
president. He has his wife and his
daughter , a charming young lady , to
support ; iiis only son. Otto , is practising
law in IndiunanoHs. ( Jrcsham is a great
