LINCOLN , Juno 7. ( Special Telegram. )
Hon. James W. Woolworth delivered the
closing lecture to the College of Law of the
University of Nebraska at the Lansing thea
ter tonight. Chancellor Woolworth covered
A wldo range along a line of central thought
In connection with the law and the bar. In
the main ho slid :
The University of Nebraska celebrated Its
first commencement Just twenty-flvo yonrs
ngo. The occasion wns Intere.itlnj : , The
university wa planted when the founda
tions of thn Rt.ato were laid before there
was a considerable numb-T of young people
competent to takt- advantage of It nnd be
fore tmy ono could say with confidence that
our resources , otherwise severely taxed ,
would be enual to Its BUpport. To many the
venture seemed prcmaturr and nil realized
ltn rl ks. The uncertainties which agitated
It'i frlendi gave occasion to curious , various
nnd aroused emotions. Your speaker to
night rwns the speaker then. Ills pffort wns
to Illustrate the duty of the slate to pro
vide the hlRher Instruction for her children.
He bccan by referring to the circumstances ,
naylng1 that "ca'tinjr behind us nil timid
counsels , with a bright prevision of the fu
ture , wo have planted the commonwealth
nnd the university together nnd > together
nursed their Infancy ; toKOthcr henceforth
they whnll grow with Intertwining trunks
nnd branches Interlaced , each to the other
IondlnKU mutual Btrength and grace , blos
soming with tlio ( lowers of a common sweet
ness and beauty and sheltering with a com
mon benollronoo a free , educated and proud
citizenship. " How have those. visions * be
come facts ? How nro the large plans of the
strenuous and adventurous men of thnt day
set before our "yes todny matured and real
ized ? The university has gathered around
1ier professors of fame and learning and
zcnl , aomo of whom by original re ! enrch
liave extended the bounds of useful knowl
edge and otheri have contributed to the arts
which embellish social life. She has ac
cumulated the appliances of education and
onlai/ed , extended nnd multiplied her
courses ? o that they encompass the whole
pnhcre of university Instruction. And from
the numbers of youth who have been en
trusted to her care nnd guidance she hns
rendered back to the ntnte a large number
of her disciplined , Informed , vigorous , pa-
trlotlo nnd ambitious sons who are serving
her In every fle'.d of human activity. She
has vindicated her right to DO nnd holds an
lionorable nnd honored pinnc nmong the
great educational establishments of the land.
I am sure you will Indulge me when I re
call what linrdly ever falls to the lot of any
man , that I stand hero where I stood n
quarter of a century ago and give to yon.
Jlr , Chancellor , and the regents and the
friends of this estabMahment. my congratu
lations nnd felicitations that thfr prophesy
made FO long OKO In the assurance of faith
hns been In a splendid wny and In splendid
measure fulfilled. I need not Invite you to
visions of what awaits you In the time to
come. The future as well as the present Is
assured.
assured.FOUNTAINHEA.D
FOUNTAINHEA.D OF JUSTICE.
And let me ( rive you the words of one of
the sages of English law , who wrote In the
beginning of the seventeenth century. Sir
John Davys , In the preface to his old re
ports , wrote , "For what Is the subject and
matter of our profession but Justice , the
lady nnd queen of till moral virtues ; and
what are our professors of the law but her
counselors , her secretaries , her Interpreters ,
her servants ? Again , what la the king him
self but the clear fountain of justice , nnd
what are the , professors of the law but the
conduit pipes deriving- and conveying- the
streams of hl.s Justice unto all the subjects
of his several kingdoms. So , as If Justice
lie rightly resembled to the sun In the firma
ment In that she spreadeth her light and
virtue unto nil crcntures , how can she but
communicate part of her goodness and glory
unto that science that Is her handmaid and
walti upon her. "
If the lofty phrases of the Roman Juris
consult and the Kngllsh sage seem , amid
the commonplaces of this work-a-day life
of ours , the extravagances of oxuberent
price nnd enthusiasm , they have been over
and over emphasized and approved by count
less repetitions of writers of classical Juris
prudence and of wise- men who have vencr-
nted that one great gift of the Anglo Saxon
to mankind , liberty regulated by law. And
If still you think It extravagant to speak
of the lawyer nowadays as a priest mln-
IstorlnB at the altar of Justice , as teaching
what Is peed and right , conducting as from
a fountain the streams of Justice to the rc-
ircshment of men , and ns spreading abroad
"tho Kladsome light of Jurisprudence , " you
have but to rlso from what Is common and
trivial In the life of nny one man or any one
< lay , to the splendid service of a RCncratlon
to perceive the nptnc.ss of all the slmlllc.s
and meatphors by which men have paid
their adulations and homage to this glorious
profession of ours. If you will do that , you
\ will quickly see that the words of Ulplnn
and Davys state no moro than a fact , even
when you take n look at the lawyer In the
actual exercise of hl.s olllce.
Follow this man ns ho goes from the
court room to the town hull ; from his con
sultations to the popular assembly , his mind
enriched with all this professional learn
ing , fertile In expedients , discerning what
Is wlso nnd Just In tumults and confusion
nnd passion. What do you say of his strictly
professional training , discipline and learn
ing to lit him to rule the hour ? There is
nobody like him at such a time nnd place.
Now we turn from the present to the
future ; from the contemplation of the grand
llRiire to a view of the place he will here
after hold nuioiir the forces of society.
It Is often said thnt the day of eloquent
ppecch has passed away that we shall never
again hear n Jlurko or an ICrsklne ; a Web
ster , or a Chontc , or nny of the great mas
ters of advocacy. Ido \ not think so.
1IASTUR OF MODERN ORATORY.
A year ngo I heard u great master of
modern oratory : Lord Russell , the chief
Justice of England had a great presence :
not much above medium height , of full
habit , but not of a sluggish temperament ,
with n countenance strong but very gentle
und benignant , through which n singular
l\ purity beamed , on which at the xamo time
n serious and weighty character was
stamped , he captivated all before the ut
terance of n word , Ho came to our shores
Just when the public mind In his country
nnd ours wns deeply agitated by the con
templation of the horrors of war between
the tv.-o brunches of the same race. He addressed -
dressed the American Har association on
arbitration , but ho H | > eke to all who knew
the KngliHh tongue , the world over. The
address was a work of art. Ileglnnlng with
an explanation of the nature of law aome-
what ucudemlc , he seemed to become more
and moro conscious of the gravity of the
n occasion and how portentous were hl
words ; the argument rising to a loftier
ntraln as ho went on from point to point ,
his voice swelling to a higher note , hl face
kindling with Ihe light In his heart. lr.i
eye nt time * suffused , his whole person
ngltnted by profound emotion , no swept
that splendid body of men along with III"
until with lively sympathy and lu utter sub
jection they felt In the very depths o * theli
natures , that ho wag a Christian Rtatcsmat
pleading the cause of Christian fellowship
when at any time hereafter the three ele.
moms of the orator stated by Webster , tin
man , the subject and the occasion shall bt
united , men will be swayed by the power 01
eloquence as In limes past by Dernosthenej
and Cicero , Ilurke and Kr ltlno , Wtibstei
nnd Choate. The power of the advocate wll
never cease among men.
The services of the legal adviser mus' '
tiereafter moro than ever before bo callet
Into requisition. The du > of every man lib
own lawyer hns passed auay. Already thi
relations of men have become so compllcatec
nnd In consequence the laws have become H
complex that no man of affairs presumes t <
act In any Important transaction upon hi :
own knowledso and judgment. Every cor
rorntlon haa Its own solicitors ; every enter
prise of magnitude absorbs the boat eners :
and skill of one or more counsel ; negotln
lions Involving large Interests are conductei
' * 9 by lawyers or under their direction ; con
tracts nnd documents are framed by them
every dispute and conflict of Interest Is re
] ferred to them.
COMING OF A NEW ERA.
Our beloved country U rapidly onproachlni
n epoch. Tremendous forces of onposlt' '
tendencies are coming face to face. On tn
one side are all the Inheritances and frul
tlons of the paat ; on the other , new doctrine
and untried contrivances of social regenera
tlon. The air Is full of the battle cries am
the sounds of the gathering and marshalln
of the forces. Already great numbers pan
elonately dissatisfied with present condl
tlons-nind eagerly casting about for remedle
for what they Imve iwreuaaea themselves ar
vital and grave evils are enlisting on on
Bide. And , furthermore , the tendencies an
learnings of the general mind are In Ui
name direction. There Is a Idespread heed
lessnesa of the gravity of the Issues and a
Indolent yielding to the solicitation ! of th
novfltleu.
Tills may bo more distinctly seen In cor
ncctlon with particular Institutions , such , fc
Instance , as the Institution of property ,
do not mean that there Is now or ever wl
be. any moro than there has been , any to
aratlon of theft or burglary or robber )
these are vulgar crimes for which no one
cold or frank nou U to offer an
Hut when property Is wrested from Its owner
not by violence , but by the forms of law , by
thn pfisfnpe of a statute or by the perversion
of come lcnl doctrine there run through
some men nnd classes of men a thrill of de
risive exultation even though they do not
personally profit by the larceny. This to es
pecially true when the victim 1 n man Biip-
pojod to be rich. When a verdict Is won by
nppenl to prejudice against the rich , nnd
men stand by nnd smile nnd the public con
science Is not JhockpJ. you may begin to
fenr that the corruption l already deep.
Nor Is the cnso nny better when the victim
Is a corporation , wh.ch Is only several men ,
n few or many associated together under the
pnnctlons of law , nnd before the trial begins
cvetybody understands thnt It has not an
pven chance for Justice with nn Individual.
ThcsR cases show how the public conscience
Is depraved In respect of the Institution of
property , and Is being made ready for the
great contention between the opposing forces
which I have mentioned.
PREPARING- FOR THE CONFLICT.
Another Institution of society a sense of
whose sanctity Is being Impaired In the pub-
He conscience Is thnt of contract. Men are
dIMgent In hunting for some cunning device ,
some play upon words , using them In the
performance In a sense > iot thought of In
the promise , BO ns to ercape from their ob
ligation. They even try to betray the state
Into such perversity. Still another such In
stitution In marriage , which In Qod's rye Is
n RBcramcnt , no matter what men call It.
Property , contract , marriage nnd all the
mportnnt social Institutions involve great
nornl principles. The man who does not
, now the difference between mine nnd thine
s n barbarian , and If ho does not govern
ilmself by It Is nn outlaw , nnd the society
fhlch does not heed It will soon perish from
he face of the earth. So It Is with contract
ind marriage nnd the rest. The nwe of rev-
rcnce , the habit of obedience , the chastened
plrlt , nrp the mystery of tmtlonnl vigor nnd
he aswrance of national grandeur. They are
n'.posslble unless they keep nllve and active
: ho conception of the stnte ns a moral and
mmortal being an'l unless they sustain and
eed the Institutions of tiroperty , of con-
fact , of marriage.
Where , then , in the conflict Impending In
ur beloved country , the IPSUCS of which
nvolve the things thnt are for our pence. Is
he lawyer to be found ? It Is not hard to
ures.ee or foretell. I do not know Into what
evlous ways others may wander , aimlessly
terhaps. of malice aforethought perhaps , but
lie profession of the bar that has Icnrncd n : |
he meaning of the ptlnclples of free gov-
rnment , of social order , or political benefl-
er.ce which are written In the constitution
if our fathers , of which some nre that no
tnte shall pass n law Impairing the obll-
atlon of contracts or depriving nny man
f the equal protection of the laws , or of
ils life or liberty or property but by due
iroccss of laxv. and all thnt Is Implied In
hose provlflons will not fall In the time of
leed. All the training nnd discipline of the
awycr , all the ancestral truths by which
-e has nourished his spirit , all the sagacious
Isdom which ho has gathered and by
. hlch he rends the signs of the times and
orecnsts the future , ail that makes him nt
11 worthy of his name , will flt him to ride
he storm nndi bring him at lat nnd his
lountry with him to the sure haven of rest
nd peace.

DBS MOLVB3 , June 7. { Special Tele
gram. ) Governor Boles has written an ar
tlclo for a book soon to bo published by
Doris M. Fox ot this city on the currency
question. Fox Is a silver republican and
his book will contain articles by the silver
leaders of the country. Governor Boles
wrote his article two months ago and a few
days slnco wrote to Fox asking him to give
It to the newspapers , saying that ho was
confident Its publication -would put an end
to all further consideration ot Boles' name
In connection with the democratic nomina
tion for governor this year. Fox declined
to give the article to the press , saying that
his contract with his publishers would not
allow It. Ho eald , however , that the article
waa not at all satisfactory to the silver
leaders of the state to whom It was sub
mitted. They thought such an utterance
would take the ox-governor out of the field
of possible nominees for this < > car and that
ho Is by far the strongest man and should
bo made the party leader , If possible. How
ever , It was finally agreed that the artlclo
should go Into the book.
In substance the ex-governor advocates a
scheme ot gold and silver certificates. He
would allow any owner of gold or silver bul
lion to take It to the treasury and deposit
It , receiving a certificate In exchange , the
certificate to circulate at the market value
of the gold or sllvy It represented. He
says nothing whatever ot the ratio and does
not suggest anything like 1C ( to 1. This did
not suit the silver people and they fear
that the artlclo will have the very effect
that Governor Boles seems to desire , of
taking him out of all consideration as the
silver leader In this state.

Miss Jennie McVKkers , a woman aced 32
years , called at the police station last even

In from Denver. The distance Is 527 miles
by the most direct route and the woman
looked frail. Her story , however , proved
true. She stated that sh6 wns a native of
Beverly , Mass. , and that about six months
ago she went to Denver In search of ad
ventures. Work proved to be scarce In
Denver and after a month she secured a
position as cook In one of the section house *
of the Union Pacific. Three weeks ago rho
again found herself In Denver and us her
small capital was dwindling fast , she de
termined to start eastward afoot In an en
deavor to reach her old home. The entire
distance was covered in twenty days. Shu
walked the whole way with the exception of
six miles , which was covered on a handcar
on the Burlington road.
She was given temporary lodging nt the
police station and it U probable that trans
portation will be furnished her east today.

and n spirited contest has been waged during
the paat month to secure this concession.
After discussing the matter from all sides the
committee authorized Mr. Reed to enter into
a contract with Hong Sling. The concession
was let at what was regarded as a most
favorable figure by the committee and the
details of the contract were left to Manager
Reed.

We did not begin to advertise our Men's Black Clay Suits

in the city. It is evident that clothes which sell like these
must be worthy of their popularity. The quality and the
style must be right. As for the price , our aim is and al
ways was , to give the most for the money. Let's sum it
up and say that these genuine black clay worsted suits arc
less than popular prices , better styled and the best for the

The form of the transcripts Bent up to the
district court from the police court In crim
inal cases was the subject of considerable
discussion In Judge Halter's court yester
day , nnd Irregularity In almost every lu-
stnnco wns clearly shown. The question wns
raised In the cases against JamcM nnd Jim
Collins , the two men who were bound over
the district court on the charge ot robbing
a freight car belonging to the Hammond
Packing company. The attorneys representIng -
Ing the tuo men tiled a pica In abatement ,
basing the plea on the claim that the tran
script did not show that the crime charged
against the defendants was committed In the
city of Omaha , and that , therefore , the po
lice judge did not have jurisdiction to try
the prisoners. From this It was argued
that they had had no preliminary hearing.
This was the same ground that was taken
In the plea In abatement raised In the Bart-
ley case , hut Hartley had waived a prelimi
nary cxamii.r.tlon , and this was all that
prevented the court from sustaining the pica ,
In the Collins case thu men were tried In
the police court and found guilty.
After hearing the arguments Judge Dakcr
found that the statements In the plea Jn
abatement were true and that the criminal
court had no jurisdiction. Instead of dis
charging the men , however , they were re
manded to Jail for further proceedings. An
other Information will be filed against them
and they will be tried again In the police
court and a complete record again made.
After these proceedings Police Judge Gor
don was sent for , as was also County At
torney Ualdrlge , and when they arrived they
went Into a conference with Judge BaKcr
and Assistant County Jcfferls. The blank
form of transcript In use In the police court
waa produced and was fully discussed. Judge
Gordon stated that the blank form had been
prepared by City Attorney Council after the
controversy which arose over the Bolln ease ,
and had been in use ever since. A number
of changes were made In the form In order
to conform to the ldas of those Interested
and a new lot of blanks will be printed for
use In the police court by which the objec
tions will be removed.

The case against ex-SUto Treasurer Bart-
ley , charged with embezzlement , Is set for
trial before Judge 'Baker this morning.
No move has yet been made by Bartley'e
attorneys which would Indicate the course
they purpose following , but every one In
terested In the case talies 'It for granted that
the trial will not allowed to proceed until
very resource for delay has been exhausted.
It Is taken for granted that a motion for a
continuance will bo filed before the time set
for the trial to commence , hut the grounds
upon which a continuance will bo asked can
only be surmised. It has also been sug
gested that objections may bo raised to the
Jury panel on some technical grounds , neces
sitating a special veulre and causing more
or less delay.
The fact that the present week la the last
ono of this term of court during which thcro
will bo a Jury panel on duiy will have a
tendency to make the skirmish for delay
moro Interesting. The proaucutlon is bent
upon forcing a trial , knowing that this will
mean a postponement until the beginning of

Quite n severe blow was struck at Garbage -
bago Master MacDonald's monopoly In police
court on last Saturday afternoon , when forty
or more garbage cases were tried before Po
lice Judge Gordon. Of the number all but
half a dozen were dismissed and the police
judge has Intimated that he Intends to take
thu snuie action In the remainder.
All of the cases dismissed were these In
which the charge was hauling garbage , manure -
nuro or ashra or other refuse matter with
out getting a permit from the Board of
Health. Judge Gordon took the action on
the grounds that there ls no prov-Talon In
the city ordinances uhlch provides for the
Issuance of such permits by the health
board. It Is stated thnt this provision Is
only to bo found In the contract MacUonald
lias with the city. The police Judge refused
to consider the garbage master as a city
official and In his opinion the contract
therefore did not have the weight ot a city
ordinance. Under the circumstances tlio
court maintained that hauling without a
permit was not an offense against the city
laws. .
The half dozen cases that are still pend
ing are to bo finally disposed of on next
Friday. In these the charge Is dumping gar
bage , etc. . In the city limits In places not
designated by the city as dumps. As a
matter of fac' the city ordinances do not
designate any city dumping place and there
fore the police Judge Is Inclined to look
upon the charge as defective and no real
offense. -
Garbage Master QI.icDonald says that ho
will look for assistance to the upper courts.
Some time ago ho caused an Injunction to
bo Issued against the garbage haulers , pre
venting them from Interfering with him by
hauling garbage. In the face of the order
of the court the haulers have continued
In their business and the garbage master baa
not Interfered with them save by arrest.
Inasmuch as he can get no remedy from the
police court he stated that ho would have
the haulers , upon whom the order was served ,
up for contempt of court and would proceed
to restrain other haulers.
