During the dinner , as well as throughout
the entire evening , mirth reigned supreme ,
nt the table where Will Gurley , Judge '
Helsloy , Elmer Frank , John D. Howe , J. II
Mcintosh and Charley Greene sat It was ,
ono continuous round of pun-ilrlng nnd Ban
ter , and the gentleman who couldn't keep up ,
his end was simply to be pitied but no ono ,
was to bo pitied , for the wits of all were ,
particularly sharp In striking contrast to i
the uortlon of the room occupied by tboso ,
gentlemen was that whore the ludgos of the
district bench sat for mum seemed the word i
up there
It was 11 o'clock when President Popple-
ton called for quiet and proceeded to say
seine interesting but well known things re
carding the bar association , after which ho
created a great laugh by saying that ono of
the prlmo objects of the banauet wus to get
u quorum of the association together Ho |
was slncoroiy glad to see that this had been
accomplished Mr Popploton then beenmo ,
reminiscent and gave a glowing sketch of his ,
college days , and wont on to explain how
very dcsirablo it was 'to Kayo a high Ideal r
in life , and hoped that alt the gontlomeu bo-
lore him were fully alive to' the fact The
speaker then Introduced Judge Wakoloy as
the man who taught him the law of the
liquidation of damages awav back in 18a ? .
Judge Wakcley was received with creat
applause He commenced by saylug that
nbout twelve years ago he was invited to
uddross a body of lawyers , and the invite
tion stated that ho would bo paid SS a day
for all the tlmo it took him to write and deliver -
liver the speech Ho wasn't sorry thut no such
offer had been made Him for the presontoc-
casion , for bo haa preserved the old $3 a day
speech and would give it to these before him
It was a long one and dealt In heavy court
vernacular and Loth flno and knotty legal
problems It closed with some pointers as
to what a young man must possess if ho
would succeed In the law Honesty , fore
sight , insight , patience , noble daring , learn
ing to lnbor and to wait , wcro noted as ,
among the needfuls , 'ilio judge said that t
when bo was young these characteristics were
as necessary as now and will bo as necessary
100 years from now as today
The first court organized jn tha tontoryr
of Nebraska , " said President Popploton in [
Introducing the next speaker , was thu supreme
premo court , and n man who has appeared
Uoforo that bodv as frequently as the rest of
his younger brothers was Henry Estabrook "
Mr Estabrook , who was sitting In a some
what noisy part of the room , rose ana said I
that ho was totally surprised ut being culled j
upon , but would represent the burnt
district In which he socmen for a tlmo to
bo situated , to the best of bis greatly overestimated
estimated ability But the gentlemen around
him were ouo too many for him and bo sat
down
Then Will Gurlov was announced Rising
to his foot , Mr Gurloy said that unlike Mr ,
Estabrook , he would certainly finish bis |
speech , Launching out with his well
known vigor , the speaiior said ' that ho
wished to say that although many
had assarted that In criminal practice , wcro
to bo found the reefs upon which a young
lawyer was apt to bo wrecked , yet ho wns
of a different opinion , nnd so were many of
the foremost loaders at the bar , both of
England und America He cited the names
of many great men , Daniel Webster , Rufus
Chonto , Edwin M. Stantont William
II Seward and ethers in sup
port of his assertion Those mon i
although distinguished by many other ac
complishments and services , won their
brightest laurels in criminal practice However . - •
over learned a man may become in the law ,
yet if ho wants true fame , wauU true glory ,
ho can find it only in tha defense of human
liberty And It in criminal practice
The great company of guests gave Mr
Gurley a perfect whirlwind of applause
John IX Homes and Charley Green were
called for but declined to respond
M. V. Gannon was thu next name loudly
for Mr Gannon said that ho desired simply
to thank Mr Gurley for ulsadmlrablo words
In support of criminal practice , and hoped .
they would have the great weight to which
they were oatltlcd
Joseph Blair was called for , but declined
to sueak Mr , Popploton then said that as It
seemed impossible to secure any mora speak
ers n motion to adjourn would be in order
The motion was put and carried , and the ,
tbrsng dispersed

up when they have the president of the syn-
dicnto , Mr T. C. Crawford , and two assist
ants with the company all the tlmo They

The following Is the dinning referred to
It Is tnken from the Paris edition of the
Now York Herald :
To the Editor of the Herald : In your
Issue of the Herald dated December 10,1 find
a gross misstatement , of the business ro-
iation between Buffalo Bills Wild West
company and the American Amusement syne
dicato ' •
Buffalo Bills Wild West company is n
close corporation working under the laws of
the stnto of NowJqrsoy , conducting its busl-
ness on its own a.pltal ergo , Buffalo Bill
and his associates 'JbaCk" themselves
About a year agp the American Amuse
nient syndlcaw bfferod to do certain things
during a six monrhs' season in Paris for a
certain percentage'of the receipts ( not the
proUts ) of the Wild West for that period of
time To bo brief , tboy did what they agreed
to do , and they rocojvod their percentage tu
a ccntimo If any person says that they ro-
colved only f 15,000 , that poraon Is an un-
mitignlod liar '
Mr T. C. Crawford , president of the syn-
dlcate , was in charge of their lptorests In
person during the enIro six months , and
was the rocelvor'of'all the moneys dun the
syndicate , analuou'tbellevo any moinborof
tno syndicatols iriji ? ! } ' . 'worrioa" about any
funds that have passed through his hands
Mr A. J , Cassatt.iSnot U/inonlbfifof the
syndicate The busluoss relations continue
to exist betw ' eea Buffalo Bills Wild West
company and the American Amusement syn
dicate , anil Mr T. C. Crawford still contin
ues to grab the share belonging to the syudl-
cato with clocklikc regularity
Buflalo Bill has not been deceived by
anybody Ho owes the syndicate nothing
and they owe him nothing
This last line is for the Information of the
malignant brute who has imposod.upoc the
Herald , end who tvould probably bo glad to
see the wreck of a legitlmato nnd prosperous
ontorpnso
My compliments to him , and I would like
to see his numesigned to a denial of thofacts
I state In this letter ; Nate Salisuuiiv ,

A DOGS GOOD SENSE
It Knew Moro Than The Human
liruta That Wns Loading It
A rare instance of brute 111101110:01100 :
was witnessed on Chestnut utrcot tlio
ether evening in a dog which was ut
the wrong end of tlio rope , says the
Philadelphia Inquirer A drunken
man was nt the right end ; or , in other
words , the rolntivo poditioiib of the two
should have bcon reversed The atten
tion ot hovoimI mon who were passing
was nt first uttrnctud to the pulr by the
unties of the dog The brute Hint
is , the four-logged ouo wus almost a
fully bred pointer , and when lirst
noticed was jumping up 111 ttio most
singular manner , each jump succeeding
it tug at tlio rope in tlio hands ot the
mnn At times the canine , man , and
rope would bccotuo tanglud up in the
most inextricable snarl as the man anil
dog iiiuao their way up the street It
was 111 ono of these tangios that the
mystery of tiio dogs action wus Bolved ,
Just watch Unit dog , " suddenly feaid
ono ot the men who were looking on
' • Ho knows moro than the mtui , by
Jovol"
The man , dog and rope had just pot
out of a snarl when the man mivo the
rope a vicious tug It was then noticed
that the rope , which was about the
thickness ot a lanyard , wns fastened
around the dogs neck in a slip-not ,
each tug ot the rope it wns plain that
the brute the four-logged 0110 wus
almost strangled , nnd when the strniu
was removed the dog made his regular
jump One of the onlookers indig
nantly starlod to rescue tlio suU'oring
quadruped when ho wus stonpod by ono
of his companions , who said :
Lot thorn alone Just see what the
dog will do "
The dog had just comnloted 0110 of
his jumps , when it was seen that ho hud
taken the rope in his teeth and thus relieved -
liovod the strain on his throat Ho
then trotted along contentedly until the
man gave unothar tug and pulled the
rope from betwecu the animals tooth
This had oviilontly gene on for some
time , to judge from the woariiioss of the
dog Dut the animal plucUily tried
again and again , and succeeded each
time in saving himself a choking
"Thoro's a clear case of a ilor ; having
moro soiibo than a mini , said ono ot the
