CURRENT COMM 21-.7. The old proverb that three me . . . .. _ as bad as a. fire has been supplemented with the remark of a Brooklyn man that two lawyers are equal to bank- ruptcy. A remarkable case of the law's delay and some-thing worse is brought to public attention by the unusual re- marks of Justice Hatch, in the App-e1- late Division of the Supreme Court of. Brooklyn. The ease in brief is this: The plaintiffs sued to recover $0,000 for labor and material expended in putting up a house for the defend-ant. The defendants denied the liability, and set up a counter claim for $20,- 520. The case went to a referee in 1802, and there were 144 hearings, with referee’s and stenographer‘s fees roll- ing up steadily, and finally the defend- ant‘s attorney declined to go on with- out more money. He had already been paid $6,000—more, indeed, than the original claim—and he wanted $3.000 more. At this point the defendant ap- plied to the court for a substitution, of counsel, and it was Justice Hatcli's re- marks in granting the request that placed the extraordinary facts before the public. Lorin A. Thurston, ex-Minister from Hawaii and new special co-mniisSioner to this country, has plainly told the Senate what the consequences, com- mercial and political, will be if the ab- rogation of the reciprocity treaty, as contemplated by the Dingl-ey bill, shall be accomplished. John A. Searles. who has gone out to California to look into the beet sugar industry, and Claus Spreekels, who controls it there. are both in favor of abrogation. This means that the Sugar Trust wants free Hawaiian sugar shut out. Mr. Spreckels, before he sold out his prop- erties in the islands, and while he was fighting the Sugar Trust, was chthusi- astic for reciprocity. The merchants of San Francisco are alarmed. They perceive that if a tariff wall shall be erected against the islands 9. great and profitable trade will be diverted to Canada. It appears that C. W. Spalding, who smashed the Globe Bank, of Chicago, and misappropriated trust's funds, had apretty typewriter. She was so pret- ty that he gave her at least $60,000 worth of property. Spalding is over sixty and the typewriter is tWenity. There ought to be, and doubtless will be at some time a law regulating the looks and age of typewriters iii the interest of bank depositors. The ap- pearance of the typewriter should be in inverse ratio to the amount of funds intrusted to her employer. In sober truth, it would be a capital idea if a Board of Governing Matrons would regulate the service of a bank, just as matrons regulate domestic service. The contact of handsome typewriters and men of sixty is one of the financial problems of the age. A case of connubial infelicity that came up in the New York Supreme Court before Judge Pryor is, so far as is known, the first of its kind to make an issue of the new woman. AI- fred Gluck‘s wife, who is suing for a separation was met by the defendant’s answer that the whole trouble of his establishment arose from the fact that Mrs. Glut-k belonged to so many wom- en’s societies that she had no time whatever to give to her domestic af- fairs, and that the defendant was com- pelled to bring his half sister in to look after- his establishment. It is an in- teresting addendum to Mr. Gluck’s tes- timony that he mentioned casually that his wife occasionally “knocked him breathless.” There is, however, no apparent intention on his part to make her Fitzsimmons attainments the result of her belonging to so many women’s societies. If Senator Mason of Illinois, had de- liberately decided to achieve popular- ity by a single speech in the Senate Chamber he could hardly have chosen a- better topic for- his maiden speech than the one which he actually. select- ed. The- Illinois Senator made his debut by entreating the Senate to. modify its methods of procedure, so. as.» to enable that body to transact business when a majority of its mem-. bers so desired. In this plea. he had behind: him the unanimous sentiment of the American people. ThelGreeks have been despiSed'by some military critics because they were addicted to commerce and the arts of peace; their Hellenic idea] was ridiculed. But now it is seen and acknowledged to have areal force The fanaticism of'the Turk has been met by a nioblcr fanaticism. The in- herited hate of centuries of the Christ- ian for the Moslem has converted the man of commerce, the tiller of. the soil, and the peaceful shepherd into fearless warriors. The election by the Kentucky Legis- lature of William J. Deboe, Repube lican, as United States, Senator, gives the Republicans forty-three votes in- that body, the Democrats thirty-three- and the Silverites and Populists six each, making eighty-eight votes in all. “Suitable for an Alderman” is a. line in the advertisement newspaper in which a saloon and its fixtures are offered for sale.

Is there a pain between your shoul- ders ‘9 , Do you hawk to clear the throat ? Is there a dropping in the throat ‘9 Is the throat dry in the morning ‘? Are you losing the sense of taste ? Do you take cold easily ‘9 If you have any of these symptoms you are suffering from cataarh in some form. California Cataarh Cure will in- stantly relieve and speedily cure you. Mr. H. L. Woodworth, of 1 Burbank street, South Norwalk, says:- “ I have been troubled with cataarh for some time; my head and nose seemed pretty well stuffed up, and the quantities of matter that run into my throat at. night would cause me to hawk, spit, and often gag in the morning, before I could clear my throat. I got some California Ca- taarh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, and already these symptoms are very much better. My threat is finely free from all matter in the morning, and my wholehead feels much clearer.” California Cataarh Cure is for you, too. In case of colds it is invaluable, as it helps in breaking them up, and entirely prevents a cold “hanging on, ” as well as attacks of acute cataarh which so often follow a. severe cold in the head. California. Cataarh Cure is sold by all dealers for 50 cents; three times as much for $1. WOODFORD’S‘ APPOINTMENT. It Was Influenced by His Promise to Go to Madrid at Once. Washington, June 18.—It is formally announced that' General Stewart L. Woodford’s selection as minister to Spain was influenced by the fact that he agreed to go to his post immediately upon confirmation, something very much desired by the president, and also to remain there throughout the present administration an arrangement not subscribed to buy some other possible appointees. The nomination of General Woodford to be minister to Spain was no surprise, for the selection was announced in dis- patches from Nashville and asheviile, N.- C., when the president visited those cities. The determination to ask Gen- eral Woodford to accept the mission was reached on'Saturday night while the president was traveling from Nash- ville to Chattanooga. Hon. Charles W. Dawes Of Illinois had brought word that General Cox of Cincinnati could not consider an offer of the place, and as General Woodford had been considered equally with General Cox for the mission the president de- termined to offer the place to the New Yorker. The matter was talked over at Chattanooga, and before the party left that place on Sunday night those in the confidence of the president knew that General Woodford would be named as soon as the president reached Washing— ton and heard from that gentleman. It is likely that within a short time, and perhaps before the extra session adjburns, the president will send to congress a message on the Cuban ques- tion which, it is stated, will breathe of Monroeism to such an extent that there can be no mistake as to the position the president takes in the matter. It is said that It will even exceed the fa.- mous Venezuelan message of President Cleveland in its ringing Americanism. The president has long desired to ex- press himself on this question, and it is probable that he will take the occa— sion before congress adjourns. Postmaster-s Appointed.
