association, tha president, George B. Rosa,
delivered an 111 teres ting address on 'The
Bar of Early Arkansas," la. which he set
himself the, task pf rescuing from oblivion
some memories cf the early leaders of the.
bar and reconstructing the conditions under
which they worked. . Among . them is pre
sented the curious figure of -John Taylor,
whose picturesque and terrible character
might well furnish a hint for a modern Sir
Walter Scott,, if we were fortunate enough
to possess a successor to the great novelist:
John Taylor waa only a . sojourner . In
Arkansas from 1837 to 1844, but he was so
remarkable a man that tie' should not be
forgotten. -. Everybody who heard
him agreed that In cupaclty for Invective,
for withering, blustering, envenomed elo
quence he excelled, hny human being that
ever sfklte, ' and that he seemed posseiised
of a demoniac power. He waa' a( tall, iank.
red-naired man, repuhtrvejy ugly, with little
green eyes that jglistened Hko those of a
snakev and with a fashion of licking out tils
tongue that waa strangely terpentine. ' He
talked '-to no- one. save on business. When
he .settled- In, Little Rock, whither he had
come from Alabama after be had beeM de
feated In- his candidacy for the f nited
Btafes senate, an tha bar called on him, but
he received them with repelling coldness,
and returned no visits. He had a wife, but
nobody eyer saw her-r-wonderful thing con
sidering the alse of Little Rock at the time.
During the seven. years', of his sojourn he
never crossed any man's threshold, and no
rdaro crossed- his. In-riding the circuit he
always rode alone, permitting no conv
panlonshlp, and while- in attendance dn
court he -would, if the weather permitted,
live in a tent pitched in the neighboring
wood, where he might not have to look on

Letter from President Roosevelt. -
The following letter from President
Roosevelt wss read: '
White House, Oct. 17. 1908. Gentlemen: It
Is with sincere regret that 1 find myaeir
unable to accept your invitation. If I
could leave Washington for any such pur-
Bose it would be to attend your banquet,
ut congress ineeta In special session, No
vemlier V and it will then be a hard quest
tlon -for ma to get awuy. The Chamber of
Commerce of the state of New York occu
pies a unique position. It is distinguished
not only by Its long history and by the
vast importance of the business Interests
which It represents, but slso for the hiirh
type f public and business morality which
It represents. I nay you no Idle compli
ment. Tha record of the men you have
chosen as presidents; the record of the
cause with which the Chamber of Com
merce has been identified, and, above all,
the standard of business integrity which
the Chamber of Commerce has consistently
represented and which It haa determined
among those; for whom it has in any way
stood sponsor, -shows the truth of What I
say. ......
Bouquets for Chamber.
It is surely necessary to add that no
body of men can render a greater service,
not onlv to the American bunihess world,
but to the American body politic than has
thus been rendered by the Chamber of
Commerce. The true Ideal of this country
Is that hand in hand with Its material de
velopment there- shall go a high and fine
sense of responsibility to the public on the
part of those whose power and ability en
able them to take the lead In this develop
ment. It Is the good fortune not only of
the state of New York but of all our peo
ple, that we can conscientiously say of the
Chamber of Commerce that, among' Its
members, we have found to an unusually
high degree this combination of great busi
ness ability with the spirit which practices
and .demands integrity in public and pri
vate afTalrs alike.
I congratulate ycat upon this banquet en
the one hundred and thirty-fifth unnivor
earyvf tbe Chamber's- foundation, and I
profoundly regret my inability to be prea
ent with-vou. -Sincerely yours,' TIlpO

terests art more valuable than . those of
any other country, , and its inlnpral. output
haa passed the $1,000,000,000 line. The secre
tary continued:
Without attempting to give the reasoi.s
therefor, I content myself with stating tbe
fact that fortv years am we had only one-
fourth as much foreign commerce to trans
port as we have now, yet we actually car-
nea in American ooiioms roriy years ago,
three times as much foreign commerce aa
We carry today. These conditions may be
Satisfactory to you. They teem to be satis
factory to many; nut tney are not sDtis
facory to me. I am not ignorant of the
argument that If foreign countries are
willing to subsidize ships to carry our
frelaht It Inures to our advantage. This
might be a sufficient excuse for our supine
excuse If there were no other consideration
Involved than merely carrying our freight
across the Atlantic ocean In times of peace.
Unfortunately, however, there are many
other and weightier considerations.
Helpless la Time ef War.
If wsr were to be declared between any
two of the great powers of Europe, our
foreign commerce would not only te neip
less but hooelees. I forbear reference to
our military and navul condition In the ab
sence of available colliers and transports.
were the United Btates to be Involved In
uch a conflict. The urouriest navy In the
world is utterly worthless without coal.
As certain ts the world revolves tne
time will oorae when our people will give
more heed to securing a respectable there
of the trade of the South American re
publics, - South Africa, the Islands south
of the equator and the countries waahed
by the Pacific ocean. Suppose we now haft
regular lines of steamship communication
between our Dorts and the countries 1
have mentioned, the government paying the
loss until our trade should be estaDiisiien.
What would be the result? A representa
tive of these lines would wait at the door
Of every factory in the land begging for
the production or goods, specially ae
lirned tn meet the Decullar needs, desires
and whims of the country for which they
were Intended. And. mark you. gentlemen.
foreign market for n,ooo,ioo manu
factured products means a domestic mar
ket for at least $800.0uu of labor, -
World's Connie Commercial,
Nor wduld this be all. Tha establishment
of trade in these Countries would be fol
lowed by American warehouses, the Ameri
can branch omce and the American banks.
The conflict between the great powers or
the world Is no longer military, but com
mercial. Europe la not seeking to estab
lish naval stations in the direction I have
Indicated, but it has already estab
lished commercial' stations there and out
ot these are name to arise complication!
fullv as intricate and vastly more delicate,
Vm-tunatelv tha Venezuelan matter la be
ing settled by arbitration. God grant that
all difficulties of this character that may
hereafter arise on the western hemisphere
may be aolved In the rr.e way. If we
hud our share of commerce to the south
and west of us. Instead of a paltry 11)
ner cent, we would be in a poxltlun to
Insist that thev would be so settled.
I am not contending for ship subsidies
If any more feasible course can do ae
vised, but. If ship subsidies will insure
us a merchant marine, then 1 am fu
shin aubsidlea. If some other measure will
insure a merchant marine then I am fur

then I am for all such meaiurea.
Senator Allison, In responding td the
toast, "The Senate of the United States,"
explained the work of the senate. When
he, said that-he agreed with the secretary
of the treasury that all disputes should be
settled by arbitration, the banquet ball
rang with appaluse. .
Bishop Doane of AJinny, In speaking on
"Capital and Labor," took the position that
capitalists are laboring men. The bishop
wss hesrtlly applauded when he said he
believed that Dewttt Clinton was a harder
worker than any man who dug In his Canal.
Rev.. Dr. Donald Mackay, in his address,
said "the trust Is the greatest peril of the
commercial imagination today, because It
Is falling Into our national mistake of con
fusing quantity with quality and exalting
bigness-over greatness. Anything which
Impairs credit, i shaking public confidence,
should be fouht like a scourge."

property to the United States, it la pointed
out at the State department that no such
cancellation can, be effected without a
breach of contract that, would not be tol
erated by either' the French government
or the government of the United States.
The nature of the engagement between the
United Stares government and the Panama
Canal .company It (a said, has changed
somewhat since the original undertaking
arrived at by Attorney General Knox. He
secured an undertaking from the canal
company to. sell Its property to the United
States'for 840.000,000., the option to expire
March 4, Thia option expired with
out attracting much attention, but , the
State department meanwhile quietly had
secured a new agreement which Is In fact
in the eyes of the law officers a complete
contract by the terms of which the canal
company agreed to sell Its property to the
United States for the figure named on the
conclusion'of the canal treaty. The state
department holds .that, this agreement Is
aiive.

VTalk about $'o'u'r '"optical Illusions Induced
by hypnotic 'Influence,'' said an pld trav
eler, "an experience which" I' had In India
some .ftlmcy ago served to show me what a
tremendous Influence one mind has over
another, and also gave me a clue as to the
manner In which 'the native magicians are
enabled to deceive their audiences in the
performance of flieir seemingly marvelous
tricks. I was wlrh a party of friends; we
veTe four, counting myself, and were put
ting, up for the night In a native bungalow,
after having traveled the greater part of
the day over a wide desert.
We were assembled on the plazsa In the
cool of the evening, while on all sides of
the little oasis,' with Its solitary hut and
few trees, ' stretched the wide expanse of
sand. It was just twilight when a native
juggler appeared and inquired if wt wanted
to see bis exhibition We gladly assented.
as any diversion was welcome. He began
his preparations by. spreading a linen sack
upon the ground.1 Near this was a basket
of considerable: tlxe,' but we never learned
what It countalned... All our party were
present except one, who waa inside the
bungalow .when ha began. ..
"With great solemnity the magician sa
laamed three times, at the 'same time in
toning a hymn. Tha trick, at he Informed
us, consisted 'in vivisecting a boy, placing
him In the bag and bringing him out alive.
The thing was almost Incredulous, but It
was done to all appearances. - We sat there
and watched him aa with great dexterity
he proceeded-to chop up his victim. First
the head, then arms, then limbs; until there
remained only the trunk. These be placed
together In the bag. which he tied. He
mumbled come words in Hindu and passed
his wand over the bag. In a few moments
more the child was standing before us,
smiling, without a scratch. The necroman
cer salaamed, and before wt knew it was
gone.
"We tat there scarcely believing what
we had aeen, and were recalled to ourselves
by our friend asking us what was the mat
ter. We told him what we had Just wit
nessed. lie laughingly remarked that ha
happened to see the trick from the window.
He said he saw nothing but a melon cut
up. This he saw the magician place In the
tuck. The boy, he' said, was hidden In the
basket. To my mind tba mystery Was ex
plained. The sorcerer had hypnotised us,
Wt saw Just what he wanted ua to see. It
was tho only explanation of the Impossible,
feat, for wt would have aworn that wo
taw the boy and not tha melon cut up be
fore our 'very eyes." New Orleana Timet

One of the cleverest and most myste

took place at Sanger.
Con IJarrigan, proprietor of the Sequoia

from the Bank of Central California In

The money went at far as Sanger by tha

alleged attempt to wreck a passenger train
filled with miners returning from work, by
removing the spikes and fish plates from a
rail on the Florence ft Cripple Creek rail
road In Eclipse Ui'l-h, was frustrated to

DENVER, Nov. 17.-Retall coal dealers
who have heretofore obtained their supply
principally from the northern Colorado
fields, decided at a conference today to
bring coal from the east for their cus
tomers and an order was telegraphed for
a large shipment from Missouri river
points. This coal will be sold to con
turners In Denver at 17.26 a ton. Hereto
fore similar coal produced In Colorado has
been sold here at 14 to 4.60 a ton.
Advices from over the slate show that
the situation in many towns In the state
Is becoming serious. The town of Greeley
la almost out of coal and orders have been
sent to Illinois for five cars. The coal
will cost consumers $10 per ton. The out
put of the Eaton and Whlteash mines, a
few miles from Greeley, Is being taken by
farmers, who camp at the mine while wait
ing for their turn, being now delayed fully
a week. .

QUEER CASES IN IRELAND
Perils of Stadylng UttlloMas' Whei
Went to the Poor Hons
Dodge Thlr;y Friends. " . -n
'At "the Dtitidrum petty'sesston's "court in
Dublin County nine respectable ydung men
were cnargen recently with "unlawfully as
sembling together to disturb the peace." A
policeman swore that they alt repeatedly
threw volleys of atones at him. On cross
examination he admitted that alT the time
of the stone throwing the young men were
only ten yards away from him and non of
the atones hit him. l-
The charge behind the charge was that
the young men attended a Gaelic class
where they met -"feloniously to learn"- the
language of their forebears.
Counsel for the defense offered to product
witnesses who would clearly establish tht
Innocence of the young men. But the prose
cution objected to any evidence for the de
fense, on the ground that, under the act of
Edward III, the defendant! were not tn
tltled to It. The court sustained the ob
jection and the young men were convicted.
ut here is a case less serious and mora
novel, reported In the Dublin Freeman by
tta correspondent all the way down in
"Droll Donegal."
A gentleman ' named McGroary recently
arrived In Donegal from the United States,
wnert tie had made tons of money." He
put up In a first-clasi! hotel, but he didn't
like the wsys of the people. So, in order to
escape homesickness, ht taught the bar-
Keepera now to make highballs, cocktails
and smashes. Ht toon had a large circle of
new acquaintances. They wtrt all good fel
lows, willing to glvo and take, but, al
though Mr. McGroary wat amply able to
hold his own With any one of them, he could
not stick to the pa? set for him by the
crowd. Bo he tried another hotel and soon
found himself laboring under the tame dif
ficulty. Then he rented 'a villa at Ballyweel.
There ha lived In great state and enjoyed
the boating and fishing. In the evenings
nearly all tht sports In Donegal came to
sea the "fine Amerlkln gintleman" In his
villa in Ballyweel. He had entirely too
many friends and his doctor told him that
If ha did not cut down the number the
ahadea of the long-departed Irish snakes
would all appear to him. But Mc
Groary waa a nan of resources and he
knew how to dodge snakes. So he decided
to go to the poor house, and thither be
went, sure enough, in a carriage and pair,
The master of the establishment wss flab
bergasted, but Mr. McGroary's persuasive
powers soon softened him. So he allowed
tho gentleman to have a room "a II to him
aelf."
"Now," said McGroary, "here at last :
win have peace. If them blokes want to
see me they will have to hunt me up in
tht poor house."
The master tent for the legal adviser of
the Board of Guardians and explulned the
case to him. The learned gentleman .was
puzcled. In valu he searched through, all
the musty statutes. He could And no law
to keep rich people out of the poor house.
Ht advlaed tht master to bring tht matter
before the board at the next regular meet
Ing. In a few daya tht board assembled in
all Its accustomed solemnity.
' "After the transaction of the usual rou
tine business" to borrow from tha local re
porters the master rose and appeared to be
in great embarrassment. "I wish to have
the instructions of the board," said he, "aa
to what charge I should make for the main
tenance of a gentleman named Mr. Mc
Groary, who Is occupying all alone by him
self a room In tha poor bouse."

with his new quarters?

The board deliberated at length, and
finally resolved to permit the gentleman to
remain In hit room. If ht would consent to

The master waa appointed a committee of

of the board.
