"When I was reading law , " said the
fudge to the Chicago Times-Herald man , "I
was the student of an old-time lawyer , who
was the wiliest old wenscl that ever hung
out a sign. Ho was strong with the Jury ,
and ho was n wonder for shifts nnd schemes
that often kept cases from the twelve good
ncn. I nm reminded of a confidence game
10 successfully worked on the courts to the
prejudice of the admlnlbtrntion of Justice
ill Ohio. One of his clients came Into the
office one day very pale and shaky. Ho
ooked about him furtively and In n scared
way , as a lost dog takes a sight up an
alley.
" 'I am In a bad fix , ' said the man , 'and I
want to put my affairs In shape In five min
utes and Jump the town. '
"Then he told his story. He had been In
justness about a year with a partner who
was not the easiest man In the world , nnd
they had frequent clashes.Vu had rewrit
ten their partnership agreement two or
three times and had patched up several
Ights , so my preceptor was not surprised
: o learn they had been engaged in another
small war. This one was serious. Our
client in Ills anger had taken a knife and
mortally cut his business associate. The
wounded man had been taken to the hos
pital by two of the clerkis the store nnd
they bad returned with the opinions of the
lectors to the effect that death was a matter
of hours. The man might die In twenty-
four hours , and he could by nothing sboit
of miraculous aid survive more than forty-
eight. The wound was in the abdominal
region. At the worst the crime committed
was murder In 11' " " " -rind degree and a
matter of commitment for life. Under the
circumstances the offense might be regarded
as manslaughter only , and our man In that
o would get but a twenty years' sen
tence. Klther event meant social death and
commercial ruin , wherefore the unfortunate
business man preferred to toss up his busi
ness chances In the air and fly. What he
wished to do was transfer his property to
my preceptor and have .the proceeds of the
sale sent to him.
' 'Jamicsou will live twenty-four hours ,
will be ? ' asked the lawyer. Jamleson was
the name of the man In the hospital ; Mor
gan was our client's name.
" 'Yes , ' replied Morgan , 'tho physicians
aid he might live two full days. '
" 'One day Is long enough , ' said the old
man ; 'one day will do for our purpose.
You say no one knows of this affair but
jour two clerks ? '
' 'They arc the only ones. They heard
our discussion and know what my provoca
tion was. They saw me stab htm. '
" 'Here Hill , ' said my Instructor In the
luw , 'go down to Mr. Morgan's warehouse
and bring thnso two clerks here. Tell 'cm
to lock up the place and come a-runntng. '
'I hen ho reached for 'Swan's Treatise , ' a
valuable book for lawyers In Ohio , and
tunic ! to the criminal forms.
"I was back with the clerks In fifteen
minutes and the old man had an affidavit
dtawn. It charged James Morgan with as
sault and battery upr-n the person of
Samuel Jnmlcbon. I took the paper over tea
a neighboring Justice of the peace. Ho was
a man devoid of InqulsltivencsB , plain nnd
mutter of fact. He could he relied upon
not to ask too many questions , BO that his
fees were beyond doubt. One of the clerks
went with mo and made oath to the
charges , The Justice at onct- issued a war
rant , and at my request also gave mo n
subpoena for the other clerk as n witness.
The constable took the warrant and ac
companied the complaining witness and
myself to our olllcc. Morgan was arrested ,
the other clerk subpoenaed , nnd the entire
party , with my crafty preceptor , went back
to the olllco of the imfglstiPte. Morgan
pleaded guilty , nnd the clerks were exam
ined as to the circumstances. They told of
the dispute , and tmld It bad terminated by
the prisoner striking Jamiebon two blows.
They told the truth , but not all of It. The
Justice with soiiio perfunctory advice to
Morgan to bridle bis temper In the future ,
fined him $10 and costs.
"Tho money was paid , nnd my preceptor
then made the only departure from tin
customary procedure. Usually when o
client Is fined the lawjcr docs not exhibit
any mad desire to see the fact spread on
the record. This time the lawyer. Instead
of leaving , asked the magistrate to make
his docket entry of trial and judgment al
once. The old Justice demurred at first ,
but overcame his Indisposition to labor nm :
spread his minutes on his otllce record. He
signed them and entered batlsfactlon of tint
and Judgment. Three hours after Morgan
had mortally wounded Jamison ho bad beer
tried and convicted of assault and battery
"The next day JamUon died. Ho hat !
no near relatives In the city , but the hos.
pltal authorities sent out to make Inqulrj
of Morgan and the two clerks as to the
manner In which the man had been hurt ,
And they alto notified the police. Morgan
was arrested and was at once indicted b )
the grand Jury , which was tbcn In session
The jails of Ohio were not bulging will
criminals and the court dockets were nol
months In'arrears. Morgan was charged
with murder. His case came up for trial
In perhaps ten days. Then ray prcccptoi
astonished the court and the prosecuting
attorney. He Interposed a plea of 'outre-
felts acquit * ( previous conviction ) and provcc
It by the justice of the peace and bin rec
ords. There U a provision In the constltu
tlon which prevents prosecuting a man rnon
than once for the same offense , and Morgar
was discharged. The poor old magistral *
got a warm talk from the court , and mj
preceptor was also reproached for shari
practice. "
"Hut that U neither good law nor prac <
tlco , " objcctwl a listener.
"It was good enough for Ohio at thai
time , and it certainly t > atlsflcd the prisoner , '
ruturned the narrator of the story ,
"It might Interest you to know. " ho con
eluded , "tliat Morgan came to Chicago uftei
short time. U was not cheerful for him
In Ohio. All thin took place thirty years
ago , and Morgan Is bead of a considerable
business house there now. "
A man was on trial for selling whisky In
violation of the lown prohibition law , relates
the Chicago Chronicle. The prosecuting
witness swore that ho bought three separate
and distinct drinks of whisky of the defend
ant nt bis ( the defendant's ) residence on the
24th day of November , paying 16 cciits n
drink.
The defense sought to prove that the pros ,
ectltlng witness was not at the house of the
defendant on the date named. The first
witness who testified to this effect was n
railroad section hand. He swore that be
was present at the defendant's house dur
ing the entire day of November 24 , nnd that
the prosecuting witness did not call there
that day. On cross-cxnmlnntlon the wit *
ness wns nsked :
"You were there all day , you say ? "
" 1 was. "
"Your business Is that of a section band
on the railroad ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"Why didn't you work that day ? "
"I was Rick , sir. "
The witness was n trifle nervous nnd the
attorney for the prosecution wns sntlJficJ
hu was lying.
"I suppose the pay rolls of the rnilroad
company will bhow that jou didn't work that
day ? "
The witness saw be was getting In a cor
ner , and after stnmmcrlng a moment ho
corrected his faimcr statement and said the
reason ho didn't work on that day was bo-
cailfto It wns Sunday.
"Sure abotlt that ? "
! ! was positive.
The hcxt witness was the assistant mar
shal of the town. He had been excluded
'rom tin ; court room during the section man's
estlmony. He also c.pent the 24th of No
vember nt the home of the defendant , nnd
illd not sec the prosecuting witness that day.
Ic would certainly have seen him If he had
been there. Uy the same line of cross-cx-
amlnntlon ho was forced to take refuge In
he statement that It was Sunday. No other
witness being called at that time by the dc-
'ense , the prosecuting attorney Introduced
n rebuttnl un almanac showing that the
24th of November was on Monday.
After the noon recess the defendant's
nwycr nsUcd lenve to Introduce nnothcr
witness , nnd , his request being granted , an
cxcltnblo looking Irishman took the stand
and was sworn. Ho seated himself and
caned forward , apparently bent on not let
ting anybody get thu best of him.
"What Is your name ? " began the attorney
'or the defense , but before the question was
lalf out the witness exploded with : "Mon-
: lay , ser , Monday ; I take my oath , ser , it was
Monday. "
It was so plain that the witness had been
coached that the prosecuting attorney ic-
fused to cross-examine him. The defendant
was held to the grand jury and the court
broke up In a laugh.
Thcro used to be a judge on the district
bench out at Hcs Mollies named William II.
McIIenry "Old Hill" Mellcnry , nearly every
body called him , nnd he seemed to like the
title. McIIenry had been n criminal lawjcr
"or many years previous to his elevation to
the bench nnd had acquired so many eccen
tricities In fighting the battles of the ac-
ciibed that he was known far nnd wide as a
'character. " McHcnry , oft the bench , was
inclined to be companionable and cntertuln-
ng , but seated In the Judicial chair he was
often querulous and dictatorial. He once
hied an Impecunious lawyer for contempt
on account lt some breach of court room
ethics and In default of payment sent him
o jail. Afterward , when the same lawyer
'orgot himself In n similar way McIIenry
stopped him short by exclaiming in a loud
voice : "Now , look here ; I'll retire you from
general circulation again if you nin't care-
"ul "
Reprimanding a juror for not being In the
court room wfien wanted , Judge McIIenry
said : "Some of you farmers seem to think
when you get Inside the corporation line of
he city that your mission on earth Is ended
and you climb on the first dry goods box
you come to nnd commence to whittle a pine
stick , as If you were waiting for Gabriel to
blow his horn. After this I want you right
e In this court room' during business
liours. Do you hear ? "
Delivering n lecture to.a young man whom
10 had just ndmltt < ; d. > to the bar , he said :
'Don't get the Idea that you'vo got to be nil
the time Jumping on the opposing counsel.
Tieat the lawyer on the other side with
courtesy. That Is , I mean , It he behaves
iimself. But If be doesn't. If you nrc really
convinced that he needs It , skin him till the
files would blow him In January. "

Mrs. Carnegie's homestead In Plttsburg
famous for Its garden. There Is a great
carriage drive , with two gates leading to
the street , so that one can drive for about
hair a mlle on the grounds In a semi-circle ,
passing the entrance to the mansion on the
way. Kor the 'whole length of this drive
there Is a great border of flowering plants
on either side , In a perfect iwlldcrness of
luxuriant beauty. The rich , blazing blos
soms make a bewildering maze of color , and
the effect Is indescribably lovely. Many
valuable trees and shrubs arc In the garden.
and Mrs. Carnegie takes much Interest In
them all. In spite of the fact that she spends
little of her time there. The house Is a
rambling place , with gables , wings , towers
and turronts , like an old English manse.
Seen through the trees and flowers , It is
marvelously picturesque. People who have
never been to Plttsburg Imagine It a place
of smoke and grime , and Iron mills. When
they see Mrs. Carnegie's home , in as pastora
an environment as could bo found anywhere -
where in Ajnerlca or Europe they change
their Impression of the great Iron center
with a thump , as It were.

A significant llttla story comes from the
south of England. Tbrco wealthy old la
dies who lived In considerable elate were
accustomed to rely in every difficulty upon
tbclr butler , who was what Is known as a
"treasure. " The individual one day gave
a month's warning , and utter dismay fcl
on the three spinsters. At length they do
elded that , In order to retain Ills services
one of them must marry him , and the
youngest wan chosen for bis brldu. So the
servitor In duo time became master of the
house with an ample fortune. As year
passed the. old ladles died , one after an
other , and finally the cl-dcvant butler wu
left with a very largo Income. Naturally
the country folk fought rather thy of th
good man , and , as It happened , only on
neighbor was even tolerably civil and hog
pliable. When the butler died It was fount
that he had left his entire fortune , amount
Ing to over 12,000 a year , to the cldtbt sou
of lila kindly neighbor.

The first of the total secret societies that
has succeeded In obtaining a convention
of Its national body .In this city during the
exposition year Is Uib Protective and Ucnev-
olcnl Order of Elku * The Information that
Omaha wns choseit for the convention city
In that year was telegraphed from Cincin
nati last Friday.
In every way the convention will bo one
of the best that the city could Imvo ob
tained. The Elks comprise In their mem
bership some of the most prominent men
In the country , and numbers of these arc
always chosen as delegates to the national
body. lorcover , they arc out for a Rood
time when In attendance at a supreme ses
sion , and as the delegates ao Rood spenders
of money , It will bo found that the Ecsslon
will bo of great benefit from n financial
point of view.
The comontlon will bring large numbers
of peopto to the city. The local membvis
are flRiirlng the attendance way tip Into the
thousands , even up to 20,000. This will In
clude the regular delcRntcs nnd the friends
that always accompany them , besides bands
Elks from nearby cities. A great many of
the visitors will , of course , bo accompanied
by their families.
The location of the session In this city Is
In great measure duo to the Nebraska dele
gation that went to the session last week
In Cincinnati. This consisted of C. S. Potter -
tor , Moso O'Hrlen , E. A. Drandt and George
E. Cronk. They were untiring In tholr
efforts to convince the body that there
would not bo n more Interesting spot on
the face of the earth than Omaha during
the year of 1898 , and thell labor was evi
dently well directed.
The local Elks nre , of course , jubilant
over the matter. Some are already talking
of thu royal manner In which Iho delegates
must bo treated In order to make them
enthusiastic partisans of the Transmlssls-
slppl city. The burden will bo nn enormous
one , lint plans will bo begun at once , and
t Is promised that the session will bo the
nemornblo one In the history of the order.
In this connection it may be stated that
ho local Shrlncrs are quietly netting to
vork with a view of Retting their supreme
) ody hero in the exposition year. The task
vlll bo a somewhat difficult one , as the
) ody met hero four years ago and there
are many cities after every meeting.
Nevertheless , thu local Shrlncrs will make
a light for the prize , although they are not
ilowiiiR very hard about It.
Another order that will attempt to brliiR
ts supreme body hero is the Ancient Order
of United Woikmen. The next session of
the supreme lodpe of the body will bo held
n Milwaukee. This Is practically an east
ern city , and It Is hoped nnd expected that
ho Nebraska delegation that goes to the
session next year will have little trouble
n bringing it to the west and Omaha for
1S9S.

asked permission to say a few words under

granted permission ho proceeded In an
Indirect but very pleasing manner to present
to Iho retiring grand matron of the stale ,
Mrs. Angelina Whitney , an elegant gold
watch , beautifully engraved , pursuant to an
action of the late session of the grand
chapter , and following a well observed cus
tom of remembering past officers with noino
substantial token of recognition of their

the highest esteem of the order In this

state as well as having received many ills'-
tlngulbhed honors from ulster jurisdictions.
The past matron was no moved by the

There Is n prospect that some prominent
western roads , operating between Missouri
river points and Chicago , will soon have
their hands full defending their representa
tives before the Interstate Commerce com
mission. Notices have been font to the
officials of the Hurllngton , the Northwestern ,
the Milwaukee , the Rock Island , the Omah.i.
the Missouri Pacific and thuVnbash roads.
Informing them that they nro to appear
before the commltslon on August 4. At that
time they will , under oath , say whether
they have directly or Indirectly given undue
preference or advantage by paying rebates
or making other unlawful concessions to
shippers on business from Omnhn , Kansas
City. Lcnvenworth , Atculson , St. Paul nnd
Minneapolis.
To say that the freight officials of n num
ber of these roads are badly worried Is ex
pressing the matter lightly. Since the en
largement of the commission's powers It has
become an Institution that commands great
respect from all rnilroad men , none of whom
nre pnitleularly anxious about hearing
prison sentences pronounced by It. The
roads nro icqulrcd to file their answers In
the present case on or before July 23.
