FEDERAL AID INVOKED A DETROIT DOCTOR ATTACKS THE STATE MEDICAL LAW. e Allegrz the United States Constitution Was Contravened In the Action on Hls Case. a An interesting' question in regard to the medical law has been raised in a suit brought in the Federal Court yesterday Dy Dr. Harry S. Kiskadden, of Detroit, Mich., against the State Board of Medical Registration and Examination. The question raised is as to the authority of the board to refuse certificates to practice to nonresident physicians who have the legal qualifications. Incidentally, the constitutionality of the land it attacked. In the complaint Dr. Kiskaoaen charges that the law is being so construed as to permit certain nonresident physicians to practice and discriminates against others. The suit was filed by Mcßride & Denny. Its purpose is to enjoin the board from revoking a license issued to the plaintiff. The ccmplaint is quite lengthy. Dr. Kiskadden, according to the complaint, is a graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, of Chicago, from which institution he received his diploma March 10, 1885. Immediately afterward he opened an office at Toledo, 0., where he made a specialty of certain diseases. Two years later he removed to Detroit, Mich., his present residence. All told, he has practiced his specialty twelve years, according to the bill. He asserts that he is qualified to practice under the laws of Michigan, and was issued a certificate to practice in Ohio last July. He maintains an 'office in Detroit five days each week, one day each week in Toledo, 0., beside which he has an office at Huntington, Ind., where he practices one day each month. Last July he applied for and was furnished a certificate by the state board and procured a license from the clerk of Huntington county. Subsequently he was notified that his license had been revoked, because he is a nonresident of the State. No hearing was given. In December he was about to bring a suit In equity, when, on the advice of the deputy attorney general, according to the allegations of the ccmplaint, his certificate was reinstated. The bill further alleges that through a misunderstanding of the requirements of the law, he caused affidavits to be made by two freeholders of Huntington as to his being the person mentioned in the application. These affidavits described him as being a resident of Huntington. The plaintiff avers that he failed to notice this discrepancy. In his own affidavit, sufficient in itself, his true address was given. The other two affidavits, he says, were entirely superfluous ar.d unnecessary, beside which the board members were fully Informed of hie residence. He says that they are now pretending that they were misinformed by the two unnecessary affidavits, and are again threatening to revoke his license. He asks that they be enjoined from doing this. He says that he owns a farm in Wavne county, Indiana, on which he pays taxes; that he has a practice worth $5,000, and accounts ar.d claims due him for service prior to the !? w ' w h* c h he could not enforce if he is debarred from practicing. He says that the action of the board was void in the first instance, because no notice of its intended action was given him and he had no opportunity to be heard. Further than this, it is asserted the board had no jurisdiction to revoke his license, even if notice had been given him. The Constitution of the united States is alleged to be violated in the discrimination of the act in favor of non* resident physicians who come here to consult with resident physicians against equally reputable and skillful practitioners who have established offices, but live in other States.

A JAY COUNTY CASE. Auditor's Recognition of n Township Trustee. The Supreme Court yesterday decided a case from Jay county in which an appointed township trustee sought to compcj the county auditor by mandate to draw a warrant in his favor for the township funds. The auditor refused to draw the warrant until another cage pending in the Supreme Court, a ease which was to decide thq validity of the township trustee's appointment, should be decided, for the regularly elected trustee still claimed thy office, though the Circuit Court had declared his office vacant by reason of his appointment as postmaster. The Supreme Court holds that the auditor had no discretion in thf, matter of drawing the warrant. The county commissioners had appointed the man trustee, and it was mandatory for the auditor to recognize his apparent right to the office. In the particular case decided. Peter L. Bishop was elected trustee of Bear Creek township. Jay county. He afterward accepted the appointment as postmaster at Bryant. The Jay District Court declared the office of trustee vacant, and the county commissioners appointed Philip Stoltz. The auditor refuser! to recognize his appointment. and Bishop carried the ruling of the Circuit Court to the Supreme Court. Bishop took up the case in which the Circuit Court declared his office vacant. Both cases were pending before the Supreme Court at the same time, but the latter case was decided first. Yesterday's decision is, therefore, not effective in the particular instance) on which it was made. # THAT $25,000 FEE. The Stale Renewing lls Fight for It. In the Circuit Court yesterday argument was heard in the suit of the State against the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad corporation. The $25,000 fee, which the State avers is due from the road, is involved. In 1804, when the C. & E. I. consolidated with the Chicago & Indiana Coal road, a representative of the corporation was sent to Indianapolis to file articles of incorporation. The articles showed the capital stock of the new corporation to be $25,000,000 and the representative of the big enterprise tendered a fee of $250. He was shocked when informed the fee would be $25,000. He declined to pay the amount, and withdrew the articles. Green Smith, who was then attorney general of the state, brought a suit to recover the fee. The lower court decided that as the articles had been withdrawn the State could not collect a fee. The Supreme Court sustained the lower court. Suit was then brought to compel the railroad company to file its articles and pay the fee of §25.000. On some of the questions involved Judge Allen heard argumcr* "esterday. A. C. Harris and Attorney .- .ord, of Chicago. represent the road. A* rne.v General Keteham is engaged with ex Attorney General Smith in pressing the claim of the State. County Expense of Diteli Repairing. The Supreme Court made an important ruling yesterday regarding the repair of public ditches. A ditch built under the order of the County Commissioners of De Kalb county extends into Steuben’ county. The surveyor of De Kalb county superintended the construction of the ditch in both counties. Later he superintended repairs to the ditch in both counties and sought to have Steuben county pay for the repairs in that county. The county auditor refused to draw a warrant for the money, and the Circuit Court ordered that a writ of mandamus issue compcllit g the auditor to draw the warrant. The case was appealed and decided yesterday. The Supreme Court holds that the county which constructs a public ditch may order it repaired throughout its entire length at the expense of the counties in which the ditch lies. Probate Mutters. The will of Thomas Dalton was admitted to probate yesterday. After making provision for the payment of his debts, he left his estate to his daughters, Mary Ellen and Hannah L. Dalton.

A Memory. How dear to this heart are the old-fashioned dresses. When fond recollection presents them to view! In lancy I see the old wardrobes and presses Which held the loved gowns that in girlhood I knew. The wide-spreading mohair, the silk that hung by it; The straw-colored satin with trimmings of brown; The ruffled foulard, the ping ordgandle nigh it; But, oh! for the pocket that hung in each gown! The old-fashioned pocket, the obsolete pocket. The praiseworthy pocket that hung in each gown. That dear, roomy pocket I’d hail as a treasure, Could I but behold it in gowns of to-day; I’d find it the source of an exquisite pleasure, But all my modistes sternly answer me “Nay!” ’Twoukl be so convenient when going out shopping, ’Twould hold my small purchases coming from town; And always my purse or my kerchief I’m dropping— \ Oh, me! for the pocket‘that hung in my gown. The old-fashioned packet, the obsolete pocket, The praiseworthy pocket that hung in my gown. A gown with a pocket! How fondly I'd guard It! Each day ere I'd don It, I’d brush it with care; Not a full Paris costume could make me discard it, Though trimmed with the laces an Empress might wear. But 1 have no hope, for the fashion Is banished; The tear of regret will my fond visions drown; As fancy reverts to the days that have vanished, I sigh for the pocket that hung in my gown. The old-fashioned pocket, the obsolete pocket, The praiseworthy pocket that hung In my gown. —Carolyn Wells. HE KEPT HIS SEAT. Furthermore, He Explained Why He Didn't Surrender It. Buffalo News. I saw a little episode in a Main-street car one night last week which Illustrates a peculiar condition of society in the average American city. The car was humming along through ’he upper part of town. It was a rainy nig at, and the car was w ell filled. At every street corner women were crowding in. laden with water-oaked bundles and all looking more or less bedraggled and out of sorts. At Main and Monawk streets a smart-looking, well-dressed young woman entered the car, and stood hanging to the straps. Directly in front of her sat a sadfaced but very respectable-looking young man. He looked up at the young woman, but gave no indication that he intended to give his seat to her. One by one the men had surrendered their seats to the women until only two or three men remained sitting. Standing next to the smart young woman was another young man, evidently a man of position, who knew her. As the car rushed along towards Cold Spring the smart young woman swung about on the straps and showed signs of weariness. Still the young man in front of her made no motion towards surrendering his seat. "Oh, I'm so tired; it see-ms as though I would drop down.” she said to the young man standing by her side. Os course, that was too much for her gallant friend, and. stooping over, he said to the sad-faced young man sitting down: “My friend, would you have the kindness to give this young lady your seat: she Is very tired? The sad-faced young man folded his arms resolutely and replied: "No. I will not have the kindness to give this young woman my seat. Last Monday morning she took my place in Blank & C’o.’s as bookkeeper, because she would work for $3 a week less than I was getting. If she can take my place in business sbe can take my place in the street car. I have a wife and little baby starving at home. I have been tramping the streets all day trying to find work. I am tired, too.” Everybody in the car turned to listen to the sad-faced young man’s words. Thev were very earnest The smart young woman turned with a sneer and looked into the face of the young man who stood beside her. Nothing mere was said. Good Advertising Pattern. Washington Post.

BE OF THE PLAIN PEOPLE PROF. GRIFFITH’S ADVICE TO TRAINING SCHOOL GRADUATES. * Sixth Commencement of the Institution— Mubel White, Valedictorian —The School Orchestra, ♦ There were twenty-seven young ladies and young me/n who received diplomas at the sixth commencement exercises of the Industrial Training School, held in the auditorium of the school last night. The auditorium was crowded with the families and friends of the graduates, and thy were much impressed with the simplicity and interestingness of the occasion. Mabel White, the valedictorian of the class, performed the task assigned to her in a sweet and graceful way, and impressed the large audience with the good work that is accomplished by the school. No little enjoyment was received from the numbers rendered by the I. T. S. orchestra, under the efficient leadership of Prof. Emerlch, principal of the school. An address on the topic, ‘‘The School of Experience,’’ by Prof. E. E. Griffith, was commended for its sound common sense and wholesomeness. Prof. Griffith struck the keynote of the educational system. Instead of urging the graduate/? to strive for a “higher education” than they have already obtained—in a collegiate sense—he urged that they acquire/ the broadest knowledge, the knowledge to which all true scholastic education tends, that is to bq obtained only by “living” the “lifq” and mingling with the “common people.” It waa an impressive moment to the large audience when the I. T. S. orchestra struck up a lively march and the class of twentyseven entqred the auditorium, marching down the center aisle to the stage, a young lady leading the procession. Behind her marched a young man and back of him a lady, so alternating until the last onej was on the stage. The graduates stood together until the last one was before the proper seat, when they were seated simultaneously. As the procession marched to the stage there was much craning of necks, and as the graduates were seated there was an outburst of spontaneous applause as thq pretty picture was formed. The young ladies were dressed in white, carried great bunches of roses and some wore flowqrs in their hair. The young men were dressed in black. On the stage they formed a pretty tableau. The graduates sat in three long rows of chairs, each row toward the rear being elevated above the one in front. There was a background of verdure and the sides of thq stage were banked with tall palms. Following the class Rev. Joseph A. Milburn, Henry Russe, president of the School Board, Prof. Goss, superintendent of the public schools, and Prof. Griffith found seats. Prof. Emerlch presided not only over the music, but ovqr the exercises as well. The orchestra played, as an overture, a selection from the “Bohemian Girl.” Mr. Milburn made the Invocation, after which there w’as a piano duet by Misses Lillian Poehler and? Minnie Bucjhler. ’Their rendition of “I Monteeehi E Capuleti”—Bellini—was skillful, and they were roundly applauded. After Prof. Griffith’s address, the orchestra rendered the "Roman March”—Mendelssohn. Tluyi came the valedictory address by Miss White, after which there was a violin solo, “Souvenir de Wieniawski,” Haesche, by Otto Letter, Miss Lillian Adam accompanying him. Their efforts were encouragingly receiv<tl. Mr. Russe presented the diplomas, and the evening closed with “Stars and Stripes Forever,” Sousa, by the I. T. S. orchestra.

FREE SPEECH THE EDUCATOR. At the beginning of his talk Professor Griffith spoke of the great development In educational enterprises in this State, contrasting the conditions that now exist with those in the early days of the State. “Our notion of what the state may do to promote the happiness of the people,” said he, “grows broader each year, but we are not falling into paternalism. True education never leads anybody away from the people. Among the common men are those of highest intellect. The typical man of the masses is distinguished for simplicity and faith in mankind. While there are some things he can learn from these graduates, there are many things he can teach them.” There are two kinds of education, he said, the education obtained from books in the high schools, academies, colleges and universities, and the education that is obtained by living the life of the world. These two must commingle if the school education is to accomplish the highest and best purpose. There are pedantic teachers who are learned only In the school of books, he said, and these are like the old fable of the peas in the pods, who thought the whole world was green. “While green is a pleasing color,” said he, “there are others just as pleasing” Too many teachers move in a small sphere and forget the real ends of education, he said. Listening to lectures, sermons and reading books do not constitute real culture except as they aid the student to assimmilate himself with life. Education is not knowledge of grammar, history, Latin, Greek. “Because some so believe,” he continued, “education, and especially higher education. has been so brought into contempt that the college man must show cause why he should not be taken as a joke. This fact causes the man of the masses to say, ‘You are pedantic,’ and this is too frequently met with the retort, ‘You are a clown, uncouth, uncultivated.’ The great text-book for the education of experience is free speech. Every public school should educate its pupils in talk, debate and interchange of Ideas. A great deal of history has been made in the country school debating societies, from which great lawyers and statesmen have received the impetus ’that has directed their future life. I like to see a fighting parson, one who preaches within a few centuries of his time. Some philosopher discovers the Roentgen rays. This Is flashed all over the country, and scores of men who never heard of him before at once begin embellishing his discovery. Whether it be through the press, the pulpit or in everyday talk, free speech becomes the great educator.” Ho spoke of the need of apprenticeship, pointing his hearers to the advantage of going out and observing by what toil the skillful have acquired their ability to do something. The speaker expressed great faith In the common people. The man of the masses has a clear vision when looking at moral questions, and the speaker said that he knew no better advice than to urge those in doubt on some moral principle to turn to the plain people for guidance. “The people can be trusted with the gravest responsibilities,” said he. “Any man who believes a few men can run the government better than the people will bear watching. The instinct of the common man is unerring.’ He pointed back to the history of patriotism, unselfishness and manhood of those men from which this generation springs. “Higher education is important,” said he, in concluding, “and I suppose there are those here who would wish me to urge it upon the graduates, yet I believe my duty is to point them to that education which they may get by going amongst and studying the masses. Although the education thev have acquired seems for the moment to partition them from the plain people, as their view broadens it will bring them back again.” A list of the graduates is as follows; Emma, Barnhart Ruth Beebe, Irwin Bertermann, Howard Bruce, Carrie Hartmann, Lulu Hobart, Charles Nagel. Edna Orbtson, Martha Pedlow, Lillian Poehler, Harry Reed, Roy Rinehart, George Schley. Emmett Higgins, Harrv Jacobs, Katie Kiefer, Otto Lefier, Isaac Marks.

A Little Experiment for tle Juniors of the Family. Philadelphia Record Little boys and girls, the world over, love sugar. This everyone knows—hut who would ever suspect innocent little matchsticks of having the same propensity? Yet they possess it, as can be very easily proven. Take a shallow dish or vessel of any kind, says the Delineator, and fill It with water; secure a dozen or so match-sticks and cut them in halves. If you like, you may leave them whole, but in this event i should advise you to cut off the heads. Hold a piece of soap in the water at the center of the dish, and you will very soon see the match-sticks hurrying away from the soap to the edge of the pan. I believe match-sticks object as strongly to soap as do some little children. But you can very easily collect the sticks into the center

again. Remove the soap and in its stead hold a lump of sugar in the water. Have you ever seen flies gather about a pot o f honey or syrup? Welt, in precisely the same way—just as if they had the same instincts as these little insects—the sticks will float towards the sugar from all directions and fasten themselves to it. It is wonderful and amusing to behold the attraction that the sugar has for those inanimate match-sticks. Looks like magic, doesn’t it? But it isn’t. The oil in the scap tends to spread over the surface of the water and in doing so carries the sticks away with it. The sugar, being full of pores, sucks up the water and the little current thus produced brings them back. “LES MISERABLE}*” OF LONDON. To Edgar Fawcett’s Mind They Are tlie “Snndwieh” Advertising Men. Collier’s Weekly. Our “walking advertisements” are In London called sandwlehmen. Here they are far more frequent than in New York—for the simple reason, I suppose, that grim old Colonel Poverty commands a bigger regiment of paupers. It is dreadful to watch the haggard sadness on many a poor sandwichman’s face. Constantly they work for a shilling and twopence a day—hardly one of our “quarters.” If they consent to carry an extra board over the head, terribly heavy and tiring, their pay is increased by one penny. Still, these forlorn wretches do not make, by any means, seven shillings and sixpence a week. To do that they must get a “job” every day, and such a condition of affairs must always be termed Utopian. For often several hundreds of other men are already waiting in the yard of theater, linen-draper, whatever the establishment may be. The rent of these sandwichmcn (who rarely have any family connections and are the sorriest flotsam and jetsam of society) usually costs them twopence a night. At the County Council lodging house they can obtain rates less economic. The “Shelter” at Westminster is their usual resort—either that or one on the City road. Said a sandwichman who was interviewed the other day: “The common lodging houses charge from fourpence to sixpence. But that's too dear for us. The, County Council place is very nice, but; it’s also too dear for us. We don’t go in for luxuries. And as to meals, well, there are the HamYard penny dinners.” Os course all this is piercingly horrible. In London one sees poverty much clearer, much more aggressively, than in New York. Perhaps there is a good deal more of It, in proportion to the populace. here than with us. This, I think, however, is doubtful, all in all. But of one thing we may be sure; poverty in New York is mere dignified than in London. Our beggars wrap themselves in a certain dignity—a shabby and threadbare purple, if one pleases, but none the less affirmative in its meaning and mode. Their fate may gloomily merit these melancholy verses written by Mr. Alfred Thompson, but I can’t, believe it is quite so deserving of such a desolate lament. Still, the slums of London are relatively unknown to me. Those of New York are not. If I hjld not prowled among the latter, in younger days (and not seldom with tears of intensest sympathy springing to my eyes), I could not have written “The Evil that Men Do,” a story to which I gave infinite sympathy and persistent research. But Mr. Thompson’s little lyric is well worth reprinting here, since it must have come from a heart throbbing with pity for the dolorous problematic doom of those whom fate shackles, manacles, gyves. He calls it the “Lament of the Treadmill,” and 1 reproduce it, in all its woful solemnity of despair: “Look! They come—a dismal row— Footsore, weary, on they go. Breathing sign-boards—things of scorn, God! Are these of women born? Had they father, sister, brother, Breathed they e’er the name of mother? Oh! that scene the heart-sight greets On the treadmill of the streets. “Seamed and torn, gashed and battered, Images of God all shattered! Burning shame with anguish owning. On the cross of suffering groaning. Watch them as they onward trudge! Let us not their follies judge! Ah! that scene the heart-sight greets On the treadmill of the streets. "Star of hope nor softened light Cheers the darkness of their night. He who notes the sparrow fall, Hath He hearkened to their call? Can we feel the fallen’s woe? Mercy, mercy, mercy show! Ah! that scene the heart-sight greets On the treadmill of the streets.”

HE HAD DONE HIS BEST. But the Mesmerist Would Not Be Insulted by a Strong-Willed Man. New York Evening Sun. “Gentlemen,” he said, “while my assistant here passes around the hat I will fortify myself. Then I shall endeavor to show’ you my powers of mesmerism. They are wonderful, gentlemen, and it is well w’orth a quarter to see my efforts. Many times have I sat down, gentlemen, and wondered w'here I got my powers—but, gentlemen, we anticipate.” Then the hat w r as passed around, and the lecturer took a drink from a hottle he carried in an inconspicuous part of his trousers. After which he brought out a chair from the railroad office, put it in the center of the platform, and dumped the money from his hat into his pockets. "Gentlemen,” he said, “I could easily show you wonderful exhibitions of my power over my subject here, but some of you have probably seen ‘fake’ subjects, and might, therefore, doubt me. So, gentlemen, I will select one of you, the strongest willed among you, to show you that my efforts are all 18-carat and above suspicion.” Then he picked out a big, healthy-looking fellow from the crowd and put him down in the chair. He made several passes before his face. Then he took a potato from a basket. He advanced upon the subject. “This, sir,” he said to the subject, “is a nice ripe apple. You will observe,” he remarked to the audience, “that ho will eat it just as he would an apple.” “Oh, go to the devil,” growled the subject. The professor looked shocked and surprised. "Didn’t I have any effect on you?” ho asked. “Nope.” "Not a bit?” “Not a bit.” “That’s strange—very, very strange. I can’t understand it. But just wait a second.” Then he made some more passes before the subject's face. “Peter,” he said, turning to his assistant, “run .n there and get me another chair.” The chair was put down in front of the subject. “Permit me, sir, to introduce you to Miss Lillian Russell,” said the professor, with a wave of his hand at the empty chair. "You will observe, gentlemen, that he 'will talk to the empty chair as he would to a young woman.” “Ah, what do you take me for?” growled the subject. "What! not yet?” exclaimed the professor in astonishment. “But just one second. Now, gentlemen, I will make some more passes, so. Now, gentlemen, here is a pin. You will observe, gentlemen, that it is sharp. Under my power, however, gentlemen. the subject will not feel the pain. I will stick it ” “The devil you will!” said the subject. "Gentlemen.” said the professor, with wounded pride, “I have done my best. You have seen my efforts. I trust you have appreciated them. But, gentlemen, I cannot permit any gentleman to trample upon my feelings, sirs, simply because his will is stronger than mine. There comes your train, gentlemen; you’ve got to hustle if you want to catch it.” DIFFICULT GOLF TERMS. A Beginner’* Trial* with the Language of the Game. New York Commercial Advertiser. Errors in the use of golfing terms are not as frequent to-day as they were a year ago, but there are yet many persons to whom the golfer’s lingo is an unknown tongue. Nothing betrays the tyro so quickly as the effort to appear at home in the mazes of technical terms, and nothing amuses an oid-stager so much as to hear a novice air his knowledge of the Smalltalk of the game. In one of the recent tournaments a threesome was being played, and all the competitors had reached the green on a certain hole, but each in a different number ot strokes. One of the men, a beginner, saw his opportunity to use some of the expressions he had picked up in his journey over the course, and exclaimed, “Why, w r e are like as we stand,” and then, turning to one of the others, “It’s your drive.” The point of this may not be intelligible to the uninitiated, but for their benefit it rnav be explained that the term “liKe-as-we-!ie” is used to express the fact that players have taken a like number of strokes, and that when the green is reached "putting” is the usual method of reaching the hole, and not driving. The other day there appeared in one of the morning newspapers a facetious account of a match between two politicians. The writer explained that the players were • even up in the eighteen hole,” and then continued by explaining that consequently one of them was dormie one. The ignorance of this writer is equaled almost by the one who wrote an account of an excited and spirited “fursom” in a Chicago daily recently. , It is hard for some people to disabuse their minds of the idea that “dormie” means something akin to that tired feeling one hears so much about, or that playing “one of two” is not a quotation of the betting odds. One of the most frequent transgressions of the golfing code is to cull the implement played with a “stick” instead of a club. Another error that is being made constantly is in the pronunciation of the word golf itself. In the old

university town of St. Andrews the word is pronounced “goff.” and that is the way all Scotchmen use it. The word has been variously spelled at different times, goff, gowff, govt and gouf, being some of the older forms. To-day it has become “golf,” but its pronunciation is still "goff.” An amusing incident, showing that some people at least have discovered the correct use of the word, happened to a well-known player in this city not long ago. He left orders at a certain clipping agency that all articles relating to golf should be sent to his office, and was surprised to find himself being deluged with all sorts of stories on the doings of Recorder Goff, and very little relating to the subject he had asked for. The word "links” is another term that has caused a deal of trouble. It has no similarity in meaning with the links of a chain, as is sometimes supposed. There are eighteen holes in a course on a links and not eighteen links on a course. Links was originally used in the plural, but it has grown gradually to mean the ground on which the game is played, and is, therefore, correctly used in the singular. Charles B. Macdonald says that it meant originally the numerous windings of a river, and was applied usually to the sandy, flat ground on the seashore. The word has come to be applied Incorrectly to inland ground, and through frequent usage in that way may be said to be established as a permissible term to apply to all courses. SOME ENGLISH ANECDOTES. Stories Os, About and by Sir Frank Lockwood. Pall Mall Gazette. The lamented death of Sir Frank Lockwood has resulted in a tremendous crop of stories concerning him. Here are a few: While still a junior barrister attending Bradford quarter sessions Mr. Lockwood ventured to rebuke the chairman. The latter happened to be an officer in a militia regiment, and was, as Mr. Lockwood thought, unduly admonishing a prisoner. Turning to a brother, the future Q. C. remarked: “He talks to him (the prisoner) as if he were one of his own militiamen.” The chairman caught the remark, and, leaning over the desk, said: “Mr. Lockwood, I overheard that observation.” Whereupon Mr. Lockwood, unabashed, rose to his full height of six feet two, and with that dramatic wave of his hand w r ith which so many juries have been impressed, replied, “I intended you should, sir,” and then sat down. The chairman called the next case. On another occasion, after successfully defending a prisoner who had put forward a very satisfactory alibi, Sir Frank went for a walk in the circuit town, and during his perambulations he met the judge who had presided. Addressing him, the learned judge said, “Well, Lockwood, that was a very good alibi.” “Yes, my lord,” was the answer. “I had three offered me, and I think I selected the best.” When Sir Frank was recorder of Sheffield he was one day engaged in trying a number of betting men for a rather serious assault, and they were defended by a popular norih country junior. It was the day of the City and Suburban, and one of the prisoners was more concerned in what was happening outside than in his own safety. At length he leaned over the rails and begged his counsel to back “so and so,” and let him stand in a sovereign. The learned junior, being a thorough sportsman, sent his clerk out with a five-pound note to back the animal, and half an hour later the beaming face of the clerk, as he returned to court, told that the good thing had come off. Next minute, to the counsel’s astonishment, a note was handed to him from the bench, containing the simple query, “Has it w’on?” Looking up into Sir Frank’s face, counsel saw from the smile there that he had witnessed the whole transaction. and, like the good sportsman he was, would rejoice in his trieftd’s success. A few years ago, at a Mansion House banquet ut York, Sir Frederick Milner. M. P., in proposing the toast of “The City Members.” remarked that he understood Sir Frank had in his sketch book a portrait of him which was positively libelous, but in the interests of art he had decided to tuke no action against him. In replying, Sir Frank said it was perfectly true that he had contemplated bringing out a picture of Sir Frederick MUner, but on account cf his great length he found it would be necessary to bring him out in parts, and if a sufficient number of subscribers could be found he was prepared to undertake the series at once. It will be remembered that Sir John Day, one of the Pernell commission judges, observed strict silence during the entire hearing, an occasional movement of his lips alone indicating the process of self-commu-nion. Toward the close of the proceedings a pen-and-ink sketch of the bench was circulated among the members of the bar present, bearing the legend, “Day unto Day uitereth speech, Knight unto Knight showeth knowledge.” The sketch bore no signature, but as Mr. Isx-kwood was present, no voucher of its authorship was wanted. Os his geniality and ready wit there are many stories extant. Many of these he told himself, especially if they were against him. He was once defending a man who was charged at Yoik with stealing cattle, or “beasts," as they were called in the north. Sir Frank Lockwood said to a witness: “Now, rny man. you say you saw so and so; how far can you see a beast to know it?” “Just as far off as I am from you," replied the witness. Another story: Some years ago a man was held up for stealing a horse “Yours Is a very serious offense,” said the judge to him very sternly: "fifty years ago it was a hanging matter.” “Well,” replied the prisoner, with a certain logical reasonableness, “fifty years hence it mayn't be a crime at all.” In the famous action of Brooks against Labouchre the defendant stated in the witness box that one result of the exposures he had from time to time made in Truth was that he had spent £40,000 in law. Sir F. Lockwood looked at him with an expression of deep admiration, and ejaculated: “Long may you prosper,” with a whimsical intonation that set the whole court off. It is even stated that he was so popular in York that a Jury gave a verdict for "him us Mr. Lockwood’s for” without descending to a discussion of the facts of the case. Once he was* re-examining a client with regard to various companies, a good many of which had been wound up. The Automatic Musical Instruments* Com-

pany came up for notice—a company for utilizing a kind of street-organ piano. “That,” said Sir Frank, genially, “had to be wound up, anyway.” His jokes were sometimes used to illustrate his sketches. One of these related to the famous fight In the House of Commons in 1893. It was called “After the Battle.” The scene was a member's mansion at 3 o’clock on Friday. The member enters ragged, torn, and bruised. The Wife: “Oh, John! And you told me you were going to the Houses* M. P., "So I did.” He told another good story about himself. The teller, having been on a visit to the city of York, had inquired of a friend who was afflicted with deafness what w-as his opinion of the sitting members. “I don’t know much about ’em,” said the old gentleman, “but one of ’em is called Lockwood.” “What ort of man is he?” asked the visitor. “Oh, I think he’ll do,” replied the aged citizen. ‘They say in London that he’s doing,” observed the friend. “Oh, indeed! Who's he a-doing of?” inquired the old gentleman. He used to relate that in his earlier experience he attended a police court at which he noticed that the magistrates were performing their work in a very expeditious manner. He mentioned to the superintendent of police that the justices were tattling through their duties in an extremely workmanlike fashion. “Yes,” answered the superintendent, who was pompous and none too well educated, "their worships always dispenses with justice very fast.” And there are many more such stories, and he who could tell them best will be sorely missed from many a pleasant circle and by friends innumerable. THE LATEST COLOR. Blue in Many ’lone* to Be Worn Next Season. San Francisco Chronicle. Gray and green and black have been highly favored colors for seasons past, and now’ blue is making a bid for marked favor next season. Blue in many tones and semitones will appear among every style' of plain or fancy dress goods and jacketlngs. It is a beautiful dye in many of its deeper shades, but no color needs more careful selection. Seme of the new hyacinth, iris, sapphire, lobelia and similar new tints are quite am trying as violet or heliotrope, but when a becoming .shade is once found there are few colors that are more becoming to the wearer, or that can easily be made so by the introduction of a little cream color, a mixture of white and blue, or a touch of soft pink or ruby red near the face. This red must be no half measure, but brilliant, with not a trace of dull garnet in It. Women of the "neutral” type should never select dense, decided colors for an entire toilet or costume. Very fair and very dark women can best venture upon such gowns, but so long as the shops are aglow with such beautiful color mixtures in all-wool, in tine chine.patterns, and shadow and shot effects in silk, satin and silk and wool blendings, women of no decided type can array themselves smartly and most becomingly. Certain shades of hlue. however, are found that, with the of trifling but potent accessories, prove becoming in turn to women of every type and complexion. a • Manele’* Many Bed Men.
