'Tlle Youngslcr Growing Old. ‘
California is one the younger States,
but, it is celebrating the. fiftieth anni-
_ memory of the discbvery of gold in Sut-
ei-i Mlll Race this week, and as the
disnslniery of gold was the prelude to
Statehood for California, th ose who
went around Cape Horn or reached
California by the over route in 1849
and are still alive will rub their eyes
asthey‘look in the mirror and come to
the conclusion that they are old men
and that California is not so' young a
State as they thought.
IWithout regard to its age, California
is 5: State to be congratulated upon its
co; :inued prosperity for a period of
i1: Li" a century. and if the Californians
gt; enthusiastic and paint San Francis-
no a bright carlninl: during celebration
week they can be forgiven. Gold gave
California an enterprising population
which has learned the secret of turn-
ing its many rich and varied resources
intogoldglnd its people can well af-
Eord to take a week off for celebration
purposes.

Red Hot Lawyers.
Lawyers squabble with each other
and with witnesses in court largely to
shew. their smartness and to advertise
themselves. Frequently they don’t-
succeed in adding to their reputations
as ‘Tighters. ” Though they don’t usual-
ly.- mean to get really “mad" with each
other when they squabble for exhibi-
~ tion purposes, sometimzs they lose con-
trol 'of themselves and then they are
loom painful and amusing spectacles.
E's-equently judges have much trouble
with squabbling lawyers, and hardly
know how to make them behave them-
selves. The Indiana Law Journal tells
~ how one judge put a stop to the squab—
filling of lawyers in his court- for a
while.
Two members of the bar began squab-
hiing, as usualgtheir u it was soon ex-
hausted, as usual; it was evident that
they must Soon. pass the extreme limits ‘
of forensic courtesy unless the judge
should interfere. But he didn’t inter‘
fare. He called the bailiff to him, in-
structed him if the lawyers got to fight-
ing to “let ’em fight,” quietly told the
clerk to enter an order adjourning the
scarf. and began reading a newspaper.
The lawyers, thus deprived of any ex-
cuse for. quieting. down, were forced to
keep up their quarrel. Their repar-
Bees became cruder and cruder. Final-
ly one of them felt that only a physical
resort was left to him. He struck his
opponent. His opponent struck back.
They fought on, mutually wondering
why somebody didn’t interfere and
Seal-til y wishing somebody would, until
aheyhad enough of it, when they quit
fltheir own accord and began to apol¥
agile to the judge for their contempt
(sic-ours.
The judge blandly
{float there was no contempt of court,
chat the court had risen before the
first blow was struck; also that if they
were ready to go on with the case the
court would be reconvened, but if they
felt like fighting longer, the court
would stand adjourned until they were
informed them
slitting-h. They-concluded to go on
with the case.
“’ell done. It’sa good story. But
one great trouble with imitating it‘is
first few lawyers are careless enough
about their own Skill and bones to
Really fight. They wisely and craftily
take it out in talk, says the Journal
and Courier.

A Credilable Senator.
Ixiuis E. McComas was yesterday
* clinched United States Senator by the
Earyland LegiSlaturc for the full term
(viola years, as thesucceSsor of- Senator
Gammon. In Maryland as in Ohio there
were serious factiolial complications,’
and the election of McComas, who was
undoubtedly the choice of the party,
wasgreatly imperllled by an adverse,
mganization of the Legislature. He
Ms finally triumphed, however, over a
,pareliminary defeat as did Hanna in
Giulio, and the Republicans of Maryland
line honored themselvesby calling to
tile United States Senate one of the
>fléatl andicl‘eanest representative Re-
\
candidate for Congress when barely
eligible on account of age in the “rest-
ern Maryland district, and was de—
feated in his first race, but won out in
’ the second battle; he. was chosen to six
consecutive Congresses and finally re- .

outside of the opposition inspired by
factional differences. ‘
Judge McComas is in the full vigor of
life and gives promise Of a much more
than ordinarily successful Senatorial
He is a politician Of keen per-
ception and rare sagacity, and combines
with the qualities of the politician the
best features of statesmanship. He will
not only be able in debate on the floor
of the Senate, but he will be one of the
most capable and efficient of the ,mem-
bers of the body. He will be a valu-
able acquisition tO the Republican
counsels of the Senate and will speedily
forge to the front as a master political
leader. Altogether Maryland has done
herself credit by the election of Louis
E. McComas as United States Senator.

FEMININE CHAT.
career.
How few watches carried by women
keep accurate time.
Why is it wealways have such a good
memory for disagreeable things?
The large old-fashioned shell comb
as broad as one‘s palm is again in vogue.
In how many houses the over-tidiness
of the mistress makes the occupants ab-
solutely uncomfortable.
Many an impecunious foreign count
can only speak brokenly no matterhow
great his knowledge of our language
may be.
It is not safe to leave home without
an umbrella these days, even though
the weather seems quite perfect in the
morning.
thy is it that we always feel that if
we are to drop dead anywhere we would
prefer to have it happen in church
rather than the theatre?
The brunette wouldn’t care if ten
hairs came to the funeral’of one white
one if they would only come attired de-
corously as mourners—in black.
There is nothing on earth that does
so much toward making a tyrannical
disposition gentle and loveable as a
chastening course of real sorrow.
It is all very well to preach about
paying the little bills; but if we could
get the big ones Ofi our hands we would
be well able to discharge the smaller
ones. .
There is a lot of fuss over the Chinese
woman who married aVase, when in
reality there is ne'OcCaSion' for it. Lots
of American girls‘ marry sticks every
day. ’
The‘courtesy manifested in most of
the shops in the‘matter of exchanging
goods‘is really wonderful, when one
considers how far their leniency is
taxed‘ at times. -
It is hard to state which visitor
causes the greatest commotion in the
everyday household—she who arrives
with. a maid or she who materializes
with a pet dog. -
And now the woman who is torment-
ed .by those straggling'locks at the
nape of her neck finds a boon in a little
je‘weled safety comb that holds them in
a clamp, and is at the same time a
really pretty ornament.
HOW TO FIND our.
Fill a. bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand» twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain. in" the back;-is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT T0 Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer‘s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. .If
you need a. medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
