Never in the his tory "of Minnesota has a meet ing of the s t a t e bar associat ion succeeded in br inging together a more representa t ive body of a t t o rneys than were present a t the annual meet ing held in the house of r ep resen ta t ives , St. Paul , yesterday afternoon. The a t t endance ex­ceeded 300, and lawyers were present fivJm all over the s t a t e . Whi le a large pa r t of the a t tendance came from Minneapolis and St. Paul , o ther d is t r ic ts were well represented , and the meet ing, together wi th the banquet a t the Aberdeen hotel , which followed it, was declared to be the most successful ever held by the asso­ciat ion. A to ta l membersh ip of 330 was reported, and the new officials hope to double th is before the next anuual mee t ­ing.

Henry D. Es tabrooke of Chicago deliv­ered the address of the day. He spoke on "Hamil ton , the Lawyer ," to whom, he said, this country owed more than to any other one man, with the possible excep­tion of George Washington . Said Mr. Es tabrooke :

It is impossible to separate ^-Hamilton the lawyer from Hamilton the statesman, Hamil­ton the soldier, Hamilton the financier, and especially Hamilton the controversialist. It was to his legal mind that he owed his vari­ous pre-eminences. The legal mind is some­thing more than a storehouse of legal lore-something more than an index of cases or a pigeonhole of files. The law is not simply the latest guess of the supreme court. It is that rule of action which must prevail if justice is to obtain, and he is the greatest lawyer who, in the light of the greatest knowledge of whatever is knowable, most clearly per­ceives the just^ii inciple and most persuasively advocates it. The legal mind is the scien­tific mind with a kink in it.

What is the equipment of the ideal lawyer? First, I would place the texture and qhality of mind; second, an encyclopaedic knowledge based upon accurate study; third, tempera­ment, fourth, endowment, physical and men­tal, with the gift of fluency and lucidity of speech; fifth, habit; sixth, character; seventh, personality. The legal mind must be dis­tinguished from the judicial mind. The law­yer must explore, discover, invent, exploit. The judicial mind is the common mind un­commonly lightened; it is sanity enthroned. Washington was pre-eminently judicial. lie lelied largely upon the advice and wisdom of three great lawyers—Randolph, Hamilton and Jefferson. Oftentimes they differed among ihemselves, but if Hamilton ever failed to carry his point I do not recall it. He was the greatest lawyer of the three.

Continuing, Mr. Es tabrooke spoke in eulogy of Hami l ton ' s cha rac te r ; of his devotion to his c l ients , which had im­pelled him to postpone "his duel with Bur r unt i l after court had closed for the t e rm so that the in t e re s t s of the men who had employed him might not suffer whatever the resul t of the meet ing; of h is mora l courage, and of his abil i ty. The addreas was heard with the closest a t ten t ion and the speaker l iberally applauded at i ts con­clusion.

H. F. Stevens, outgoing president of the associat ion, delivered an address on " I n ­dustr ia l Feuda l i sm," in the course of which he argued that t rus t s were neces­sary to the indust r ia l development of the country, and predicted tha t by lowering the cost of product ion ' they would make th i s country supreme in the marke t s of the world. Ult imately he thought they would disappear as did feudalism in Europe after it had served i ts purpose.

The president was author ized to appoint a commit tee of five lo co-operate with the s t a tu t e revision commission, and a com­mi t tee to confer with the supreme court repor ter and endeavor to se-cure the more prompt publication of supreme court r e ­ports a t a lower cost than now obtains. A balance, of $385) was reported by the t r ea su re r .

Fred Bohanon, aged 40, tr ied to end his life by shooting himself las t night . Though-' appear ing to be in the best of spir i ts , af ter leaving other members of the family, he stepped, out into the woodshed back of his home, 4316 Washington avenue X, and, placing a revolver to bis head, jus t back of the r ight ear , he sent a bul­let into his brain. Dr. C. A. Smith was called and ordered Bohanon removed to Asbury hospi ta l , where he is l inger ing in a precarious condition.

Bohanon was a butcher , in the employ of h i s brother , Charles Bohanon, who con­ducted a, marke t near the Bohanon home. Yes te rday t h e elder Bohanon sold his shop and this left the bro ther out of em­ployment. This is the only reason tha t can be assigned for his deaire. to end h is life. Bohanon's father was J, C.

F o r m e r Senator Sabin t a k e s a " sea rch me ' ' a t t i tude toward the r epor t s coming from Detroi t .that big cont rac ts have been let for the construct ion of the Gulf & Manitoba road from Duluth to Kansas City. In a recent interview at Duluth, he said:

I question very much the authenticity of that story. I am personally acquainted "with one of the men iwho is evidently at the back of the so-called project. He is an English­man and just such a man as one would ex­pect fTr-Trrtr-Td.ch a story to be published broadcast. That chap is a professional pro­moter and always dead broke. One cannot be in his presence an hour without being asked for a lean of a ten-dollar bill.

The Duluth-gulf road proposition is an old one, and while, of course, it would be an excellent thing for this city and the country through which the road would run, to my mind it will he a great many years before we will see a realization of the scheme. It will cost an immense amount of money to carry out the ptoject, and I am of the opinion that there is no one set of men at the present time v,ho ara willing to finance the thing.

The New York Comemrcial publishes an authorized s t a t emen t to the effect t h a t the Banque Franca ise and Calonial of P a r i s and Belgium have agreed to t ake $12,000,000 of bonds for the building of the Manitoba & Gulf ra i l road on the basis of 95 per cent.

The road will run from Duluth to Oma­ha and Kansas City, cu t t ing every one of the grea t . t ranscont inental l ines.

CLEVER MiND READING H e n r y P a y n e K e e p s t h e Odd F e l l o w s

G u e s s i n g .

A r ival to the famous Bishoo and the mystifying P. Alexander Johnson has ar isen in Minneapolis in the person of Henry S. Payne, who has been doing some mind reading s tun t s la te ly before Minneapolis f ra ternal orders .

Payne is not in the c lass of the six-uuesions-for-a-dol lar c la i rvoyants nor of the ordinary snir i tual is t ic mediums; he appears simply as an. en t e r t a ine r . Las t night before Nor th S tar Lodge I. O. O. F . he cave an exhibit ion which made the members s i t up and wink hard. Two score or more paper sl ips, some blanC and some containing names of departed members of the order were folded and placed in a ha t and Payne drew them rapidly, one a t a t ime - The blanks were ins tan t ly rejected _ without unfolding, while those with name's "were as quickly read and Payne wen£ on to give an a c ­curate descript ion of each. Though a new comer in Minneapolis, he told a l l of the la te Wil l iam Cheney's charac te r i s ­tics and described his occupation. In th is ins tance he even went so far a s to de­scribe the t ragedy a t Minnetonka severa l years aso wherein Mr. Cheney's l i t t le daughter was drowned.

Another t e s t new to mind reading was the reproduction of a l e t t e r wr i t t en in another room. Dr. A. K. Norton re t i red to one of the commit tee rooms and wrote a l e t t e r to Payne asking h im if he could diagnose dsease. Payne was seated at a typewri te r before the audience and when Dr. Norton re tu rned with his document, Payne had an exact copy a l ready wr i t t en on his typewri ter . This reading of the mind a t a dis tance anid without personal contact is eharac te r i s t i c of Payne ' s work and he save o ther i l lus t ra t ions of it las t night.

Employing machinis ts of the city have done the handsome th ing by t h e i r men in cut t ing down the i r hours of work and in leaving the scale of wages a t the t o rmer s tandard . This has been worked out in a way tha t will be apprecia ted by the ma­chinis ts of the city, too. The new sched­ule, a s adopted by the employers wi thout even a suggest ion from the machinis ts , calls for flfty-3ix hours ' work per week, wi th sixty hour s ' pay, as against s ixty hours ' work for s ixty hour s ' pay, under the former schedule. Ten hours will cons t i tu te a day 's work every day except Saturday, on which six hours will make a day 's work, the shops closing a t 1 p. in., giving the men a Saturday half holiday.

This course -was decided upon a t a recent meet ing of tho employing machin­ists and is not in any sense t h e resu l t of the s t r ike of las t year , when the em­ployers were mas te r s of the s i tua t ion . I t is purely a voluntary action on the pa r t of the employers and will be all the more apprecia ted. .

I t will doubtless be in order soon for some one to inquire why bids were not sought by the county commissioners in o r ­der ing the new books for tne sheriff 's office. I t may be tha t the se t was sup­plied under |100, but persons somewhat famil iar say t h a t t h i s is not l ikely .unless the prices formerly obtained by the county for i ts special books have been cut in a mos t l iberal manner . The books themselves a re magnificent in appearance, being bound in l ea ther and apparent ly of the best .

Of course, no sheriff who ever held office in Hennepin county ever had such a splendid set of books in which to carry his accounts . The new books a r e recep­t ion register^ service record, civil case journal , cash deposit record, reg i s te r of sheriff's col lect ions and mor tgage sa les ' recorjj* Most of - them were unknown to former sheriffs, a l though .they doubtless kept somefhat s imi lar records , if not in such elaborate books.-

Buildimi, "Washington.. Washington, April 2.—Clarence Darrow and

Joseph Martin are here visitng democrats of national prominence in the interest of For­mer Governor Altgeld's widow, who, it is reported, has been left practically destitute. An effort is being made to keep this erranu from becoming generally public and the friends of the deceased decline to say what success they are having. It is known, how­ever, that senators and men of national repu­tation who knew and admired Altgeld have asked to be put down for sums ranging from ?500 to $1,000. It is related here that Gov­ernor Altgeld did not leave money enough to pay for his burial and that all funeral ex­penses will be met by private subscription.

F reder ick D. Underwood, president of the Er i e road, who arr ived in the city las t evening from the east , says tha t the ra i l roads can be t rus ted to look after t h e commercial welfare of the country, and t h a t supply and demand will regula te the charges of the big industr ia l ins t i tu t ions . Among o ther th ings he said yes te rday :

It does not matter where the ownership of the railroads rests. The policy of briilding up communities will continue. It is destiny.

Why^ do the railroads bring people from Bremen and Antwerp tfor less money than one can secure a decent month's board in Minneapolis? It isn't for the privilege of car-lying them. We want them here, to build up the country; and the railroads—if for no more than selfish interests—can be looked upon to see to it that the public is well sup / plied m the transportation line.

Mr. Underwood said he did not approve the ship subsidy bill a s a whole. The country had- not recovered from the ef­fects of the civil war when i ts commerce was swept from the seas . As soon as the na t ion could guarantee protect ion to i t s shipping i t would have a merchant fleet. He believed t h a t the law of supply and demand would regula te the prices of t ru s t products. Regarding the injunction pro­ceedings recent ly ins t i tu ted by the in ter ­s t a t e commerce commission he said t h e r e was much difference in violat ing the in­t e r s t a t e commerce act ordinar i ly and vio­la t ing the cour t ' s injunction. The pro­ceedings ought to have a sa lu ta ry effect.

London, April 2.—A par l i amenta ry pa­per gives correspondence respect ing the comparat ive mer i t s of the American, Br i t i sh and Belgian locomotives now in use in Egypt. In a d ispatch to the foreign secretary , covering r epor t s received from rai l road officials, the Bri t i sh diplomatic agent and consul general in Egypt, Lord Cromer, draws the genera l conclusion tha t the main reason why so many orders for rai l road plants have recent ly been given to the United S ta tes is tha t the Amer i ­can firms a re able to execute them with ext raordinary rapidi ty, due largely to the sys tem of s tandardizat ion. In respect to price Lord Cromer finds the Br i t i sh firms can hold the i r own where special designs have to be executed.

Wi th respect to the quali ty of Br i t i sh work it is a t least equal, often superior, to American and Belgian work, while in consumption of coal the Bri t i sh engines have a decided super ior i ty over the Amer­ican, though not over the Belgian engines. The Br i t i sh manufac ture rs ' weak point is delay in execut ing orders . Tests showed tha t the American freight engines con­sumed 25.4 per cent more coal than the Br i t i sh , while the l a t t e r drew 21M more load. With the same load, the American passenger engine consumed 5Q per cent more coal than the Bri t i sh engine.

Mr. Johns tone , president of the r a i l ­road board, gives a warning agains t the condemnation of American locomotives because these t r i a l s have been unsa t i s ­factory, point ing out t h a t the Egyptian engineers and firemen are not so muscu­lar nor intel l igent as the Americans , and tha t a l t e ra t ions had to be made to enable them to operate the locomotives sat isfac­tori ly. He says in some cases a sui table American design has been selected and the difference of coal consumption was« very small.

Everybody loves morning glories. Even did they not give us a grand new wel­come every day of their season, they would be loved for their luxur iant foliage and the i r generous shade during mid­summer.

A new var ie ty of moiming glories is the "Giant Mikado," introduced by N o r t h - s rup, King & Co., seedsmen, 28 Hennepin avenue, Minneapolis. The flowers are of gigantic si^e, with colorings and mark ings % beyond descr ipt ion (from snow-whi te to black-purple) , pink, rose, fiery red, cr im- , son, pale blue, royal purple , maroon, in- \. digo, bronze,_ s la te , brown, cherry and t[ ash gray; some are varigated, some spotted, some edged with one color and the t h rea t of another in var ie ty almost infinite.

A small packet will plant qu i te a bed. -You can find ou t ail about these, as well a s o ther var ie t ies , by calling for a c a t a ­logue a t 28 Hennepin avenue. If not convenient we will send you the catalogue free, if you wri te for it.
