For a Third Term in Congress,Unanim ously m ad e the S tan d ard B earer

In th e Second D istrict.At the Republican convention held at At­

lantic City on Thursday last, Congressman John J. Gardner was unanimously renominated for a third term as Representative from the Second Congressional district. *

Over 250 delegates from Atlantic, Mercer, Burlington and Ocean counties assembled at noon In the big pavilion on the ocean pier, and Judge Buchanan, of Trenton, called the meeting to order. Senator William H. Skirm, of Mercer county, was made temporary chair- mau and G. N. Weimar, of Palmyra, was made temporary secretary. These officers were afterward continued as permanent officers,

The county delegations named the following commUUe+. -^enmnwmt organlfwttoD, John T. Irving, Atlantic county; E. H. Klrkbride, Burlington county; Hon. George T. Cranmer, Ocean county; Iliggin Firman, Mercer county. Credentials, John Price, Alantlc county; W. 8. Reed, Burlington county; William B. Single- ton, Ocean county; Robert Surtess, Mercor county, Rules, E. A, Wilson, Atlantic county;

. A. Steekert, Burlington county; Thomas county; ^amual Fojer, Mer­

cer county. Resolutions, J . E. P. Abbott, At­lantic county; W. W. 8teck, Burlington county; -Joseph Groyer, Ocean county; James Buchanan, Mercer county.

County Clerk Lewis P. Scott, of Atlantic, presented he name of Congressman Gardner to the con.motion for renommation amid great applause. The nomination was seconded by each county in turn, and It was made by acclamation. The platform adopted follows:

We, the Republicans of the Second Con­gressional district, In convention assembled, do declare

First, We heartily indorse the National policy of the Republican party as formulated in its National Convention t t St. Louis in Juno last, aud expounded in the letter of acceptance of Major McKiuley.

Secon d, To the nominees of that convention, the true and tried statesman, William Mc­Kinley, and our own able and true and trusted fellow Jerseymau, Garret A. Hobart, pledge our earnest and faithful support, we welcome to our aid all who believe In a government of honesty, of order and of de­votion to the true interests of the people.

Third, To the nominee of this convention, Hon. J. J. Gardner, who has served us with signal fidelity and honor in the past, we pledge like support, and, mindful of the part the next Congress will bo called upon to take In financial legislation, we ask for him the support of all who oppose the creation of a depreciated currency which must result in the destruction of national credit and the up­setting of private enterprise.

The plaltorm was ratified with much en­thusiasm, which was redoubled when Con­gressman Gardner was conducted Into the hall.

While he was delivering his speech of acceptance the convention was stimpeded by the cry of “ man drowning." The delegates and spectators rushed to the outside of the pier through windows, doors and other exits to witness cue rescue of a bather and then re­sumed their scats and listened with attention to the conclusion of Mr. Gardner s speech.

Thomas J. Sprow! of Lakewood, was again chosen as the Ocean county member of the Congressional Committee.

Died in the Boat.

Mr. Dean of N ew ark F.ncl* ilia n a y n a t * Inland Heights.

William Dean of Newark, who for several summers past has spent the season at Island Heights, died while out sailing alone on Satur­day morning, presumably from heart failure. This was Mr. Dean's fourth summer at the Heights, and with his family he occupied the Reed cottage on Ocean avenue near Simpson. On Friday, his family left for their city home, but Mr. Dean stayed down for a longei period. Friday it is said that be went out fishing and made an excellent catch, so that on Saturday morning he hired a sail boat of John Hook and started out again.

Some time after that a number of lads play­ing along the river saw a boat apparently drifting aimlessly with wind and tide. They called the attention of Mr. Crowell, another summer resident, to the boat, and he got it ashore. Mr. Dean was silting bolt upright ir the stern sheets—dead. The body was taken to the Island llonse and Coroner S. F. Irons was summoned. He of course granted a burial permit, without a jury inquest, the cause of death being without doubt a natural o n e - heart trouble.

Mr. Dean was 70 years of age, and was a retired business man of some prominence in the city of Newark.

Crauberrylog has begun in this vicinity. The crop Is far below the average. D. J . Claytou has a very large crop on his bogs. Mr. Clay- ton’s bogs never fail.

He has made many friends here, and hls genial smile and obliging manner will be sadly missed. Ho leaves three sons, William aud Clark of Asbury Park, and Elmer, who lived with his father.

Commodore Francis Shank Brown’s schooner yacht Helene, built at Toms River by William P. Kirk, has again distingnLhed herself at Atlantic City.

The ocean regatta of the Corinthian Yacht Club was held Wednesday of last week and the Helene won although given a sharp tussle for the place by Capt. Charles Gale’s cat yacht Prin­cess Bonnie, fey corrected time the Princoss Bonnie outsailed every boat in both her own class and ail but one of the sloop yachts, there­by settling the question long argued between the cat yacht and sloop owners as to which class of boats was the facter.

The corrected time or the winning boat was 3 hours, 14 minutes and 32 seconds. There were one schooner, five sloops and six cat boats in the regatta.

MANCHESTER,

There was another private meeting held Fri­day night to fix upon a date to hold a special election to vote to bond this township in the snm of $5000 to build a road to Lakewood, one to Whitings and our end of the New Egypt road. Aren’t the property holders taxed about enough now ? There are two school t^onds not paid yet that were due last spring, but the Collector cannot collect the taxes so as to pay them. Also there are two of tho school teach­ers that have not been paid for their last month’s services. No doubt the roads would be built by contract and some outside party would get the vvork then it would not be much benefit for our workmen, for most all con­tractors have their ownuelp. Better raise one thousand dollars next spring and let tho Town­ship Committee use It on the roads same as they have this year ; this would not raise any­one’s tax much. Not any more bonds yet, pay what we have ont.

shortly after 11 00, the jury announced that they had agreed. Lawyer Carmichael how­ever, insisted on his client’s being present when the verdict was rendered ; consequently It was 3 25 1*. m . when the Sheriff returned from Point Pleasant with the prisoner and the court was ready to hear the verdict. Tho verdict was: “ We find the prisoner guilty of aBBault only, and recommend him to the mercy of the court." At the demand of Mr. Car­michael tho jury was polled, resulting In a unanimous support of the verdict. Thn-sday, 10th inst., was then fixed upon as tho day of sentence, and Johnson was remanded to the county Jail.

A M anchester Muddle.Friday morning seven lads from Manchester

ranging in years from 12 to 17 years, were arraigned before tho court. It would seem that for many years past it has been the cus­tom among the men and boys of Manchester to bathe in tho lako in a state of nature. Since Mr. William A. Torrey purchased the Torrey eBtato aud has made bis homo at tbe Torrey homestead, this condition of affairs has proven very annoying and in fact unbearable to him­self, his family and frlendB; and he determined to break it up. This resulted in an enmity by the boys toward Mr. Torrey, and some of them maliciously disturbed his properly and made it as unpleasant for his family as they could. Then he determined to make arrests examples. Consequently indictments were found by tho grand jury agaiust George Stiles, jr., for lewduess lu bathing in a nudo con­dition ; and against Frank Shinn,Fred Maulon, John Ileaviland,Barnard Manion,Jos. Kerr.jr., and Edward Manning for malicious mischief. At the same time tho grand jury appointed tbe two of its members from Manchester township —William Montgomery and David Noyes—to explain the matter to tho court and ask for suspension on the boys if they pload guilty.

The plea of guilty was entered In each in­stance, the Prosecutor, Mr. Montgomery uud Mr. Torrey made statements ; and after a very severe reprimand from the court, sentence was suspended and the lads released. They weic however, placed under the surveillance of an officer, who was authorized to arrest them for their first misdeed, when they would be sen­tenced for the present offence.

W a lte r Uric # Luck.Walter Hale, as tho young man calls him­

self who was found in John W. Johnson's hardware store a t Point Pleasant one night this summer, plead guilty to an Indictment for breaking and entering. He was represented by lawyer T. J. K. Brown. The statement was made to the court that Hale had revealed tho plot to break jail (concocted and almost successfully executed by the negro horse thief Watson) to the Sheriff In time tor him to stop the attempt. In consideration of his good be­havior and of the fact that the two months he had already spent in the jail had apparently undermined bis health, he was sentenced to but one month In the county jail.

Horse Thief (lo e i (o T ren ton .David Watson, the colored horse thief, who

had also tried to break jail, did not get off sc easily. He plead guilty and was sentenced to two years In State prison at hard labor for each offense the terms to run concurrently. His wife.Lizzie Watson,who was an accomplice In both the horse stealing and jail breaking episodes, was given fit) days in the county jail.

Com m itted fo r Contem pt.On Thursday, George L. Bell was arrested

on a Bench W arrant to show cause why he should no*, be punished for contempt of Court in neglecting to obey tbe mandate of the grand Jary, requiring him to produce certain checks, alleged to be forged.

Defendant appeared and admitted that he had "settled the matter," whereupon the conrt directed the Sheriff to commit him to jail in default of bail and further directing the Prosecutor that a complaint be made before tbe next grand jary against said defendant for compounding a crime. Ou Friday, defendant was admitted to bail in tbe sum of $300 with William and Matilda Inman as snreties, to appear at December coart.

M argaret'* Cow Again,Mrs. Margaret Applegate was arraigned and

plead not guilty to tbe charge of stealing a certain cow from tbe cow shed of Daniel Hoff- inire—a cow and a case that are already famous in the annals of Toms River village.

T. J . R. Brown assisted the prosecution and Jacob C. Hendrickson of Pemberton, tbe de­fence. The case binged upon the intent— whether criminal or otherwise—of Mrs. Apple- gate in taking the cow. As this conld not be clearly shown, she was acquitted

W ill be T ried In Here I. W. Carmichael asked for the quashing

of the indictment against David E Morris of Point Pleasant, charged with embezzling over $400 from Samuel L. Lock hard'., whose agent he was In the sale of cigars. Tbe indictment

claimed by Mr. Carmichael to be defective in that It did not specify particular offenses bnt dealt only in general terms. The motion was refused and Morris held in $300 bail to appear for trial in December.

Charles Payne (colored) and Edward Craft of near Whitings, who were indicted on a charge of citling timber, plead not gnfity and a motion was granted to pot off tbe cases till tbe December term, tbe defendants being recognized in tbe snm of $300 bail, with David VanScboick as security, to appear for trial at that time.

The first step toward a good gravel road between Manchester and New Egypt—to con­nect the Ocean comity shore district with West Jersey—was taken on Tuesday when Ibo Board of Freeholders appointed a committee to consid­er the advisability of constructing a county road. Keep the ball a-rolliug!

Arkansas has given 60,000 Democratic plui ality (?) but even the northern Democratic papers who have always potested against any attempt to enforce honest elections in the South, now assert that this has no bearing npou the situation. They all say the majority was manufactured to Chairman Jones' order.

There will be a Gold Democratic electoral ticket iu the field in the great mojorlly of States this fall, the Gold Democrats having nominated Geu. Palmer of Illinois, for Prcsl dent, and Geu. Buckner of Kentucky, for Vice President. The avowed intention ol this ticket Is to draw Democratic votes from Bryan and thus make McKinley’s election more certain.

Persons who are interested In naturalization matters should hear iu uilnd that applicants

No person can bo naturalized within the 80 days previous to election, so that it Is necessary to take the first step not less than sis weeks previous to the third day of Novem- her this year, that being the date of the election.

In tho house of representatives on Saturday, Jan . 18, 1894, Hon. W illiam J. Bryan of Nebraska m ade th e follow­ing attack against ou r sugar producing industry :

'There is no reason for a bounty on sugar w hich w ill no t apply to any other agricu ltural product. I f the bounty p a id w ent to the farm er directly instead of the m anufacturer, ho has as much r ig h t to ask for a bounty on wheat, oats, or cattle, as upon sugar, beets, or cane; b u t so m uch of the bounty as goes to N ebraska finds its way, not to tho farm ors, b u t to two factories. I f tho people of N ebraska pay their share of federal taxation, the gov em inent collects for tho bounty from all tho people of Nebraska about $150,000 and pays over to tw o corporations $70,- 000. I t is thus sc$n th a t tho sta te of Nebraska pays out tw ice as m uch us it receives and th a t w hile everybody pays only the two factories receive.

“ I h c ’-’o yet to Jearn the duty of a representative if I am under any obliga­tion to plead for t wo su g ar factories bo- causo thoy receive larg e sums and dis­regard the rights of m ore th an a m illion people because, they pay in small amounts. If I dem and bounties fo r beet sugar iu my state, I cannot oppose bounties and subsidies for industries in other states, and thus, to secure a special advantage for two factories iu N ebraska I m ust subject the people o f th a t state to a burdensome tux upon everything.

“ I dissent, too, from tho position taken by some, th a t wo are compelled by a m oral obligation to allow the bounty to rem ain fo r tho period named in tho present law. Such a position is wholly untenable. I f the F ifty -firs t con gross could pledge tho revenues for the governm ent for 15 yours, i t could just as w ell pledge them for 50 or 100 years, anil surely no one w ill say that one congress can thus give a perpetual bounty and impose obligations on sub­sequent legislatures. The present law provided w hen the bounty should ter­minate, bu t i t could not guarantee its continuance un til th a t time. I f congress cannot properly give a bounty directly to the sugar industry, neither can i t properly impose a tax upon sugar for the avowed purpose of protecting the sugar industry.

" IT IS AS EASY TO JU S T IF Y A BOUNTY AS A PR O TEC TIV E TA R­IF F , AND IT IS IM POSSIBLE TO JU S T IF Y EITHER.

“ W hen I was called upon to choose betw een a tax upon sugar w hich would raise tho price of i t to every consumer and a bounty reduced gradually , 1 chose tlie la tter. I preferred to le t the bounty fall by degrees and raise the needed rev­enue in a way th a t, instead of taxing the poor m an as m uch as tho rich man on t he sam e num ber of pounds of sugar, would m ake wealth bear its sb aro o f tho expenses of governm ent. In other words, I would ra th e r give froo sugar to the people and m ake up tho deficit by an income tax ."

HAllrimil \Vr<>«-lmi£o.Tiie effect of the Dem ocratic adm in­

istration and its h a rd tim es tariff legis­lation is shown in the iucreaBO of fore­closures of railroads. These have been unexpectedly large since 1891), b u t tho record fo r the first h a lf of 1890 exceeds th a t of 1895. T h is year there were 25 lines foreclosed In six m onths, repre­senting 8.402 miles of road and $840,- 049,000 of bonds and stocks. During the first h a lf of 1895 there w ere 20 roads foreclosed, representing 2,980 miles of road and $100,94 i, 000 of bunds and stocks. This latest Dem ocratic ad ­dition to adversity should leave no doubt in tho minds of any railroad men th a t a policy of Am erican protection means prosperity fo r railroads. Even President Roberts of tho Pennsylvania road, w hich lias suspended m any con­tem plated improvements ow ing to hard times, ought by th is tim e to acknowl­edge the root of the evil th a t iH affect­ing h is company.

Protection In Nebraska.

United States Senator William J. Sewell, eaid at a public meeting recently at Capo May tbal be proposed to work for some legislation iu the next session of Congress that will pro­hibit the meubadcu fishermen coming so close to shore during the fishing season and taking up edible fish. This summer it lias been no uuueual occurence to sec the steamers right up to the bar; and at resorts where bathing is popular, iu many instances the purse net men came in so close to shore that the bathers played about llieir boats.

The Newark Advertiser says that " teachers’ salaries in New Jersey show some curious variations. The average for male teachers per month ts $82.59 and for female teachers $17.04. Among the coantics Essex pays the highest average to male leathers, namely $160.04 per month, and Sussex the lowest. $10.75. The highest average to female teachers is $01.65 in Essex, aud the lowest, $34 92, in Salem. Hudson comes next to Essex in salaries of male teachers, namely $129.54. and l nion third with $117.1?. Union pays female teachers an average of $49 33 and Hudson au average of $46.71. All other counties are below the hundredth figure in male salaries and below fifty in female salaries

There is that about the air of a seashore resort that seemingh raises the price of •'•mo*? everything. Is fact, if siir-r fcuil.va were pnt on sale nowhere bat at summer resort hotels during August, there would be no trouble whatever about getting a dollar for 53 cents worth, and the Hon. William Jennings Bryan would be out of a job. For instance— a talented reader has been goieg about this section of the 8Ute. giving 8hak«perian re­citals. A{ Bay Head, the price of subscription tickets to the course was $5.00. The same week, at Freehold, they were advertised a t 1 $1.50 for the same recitals. It only goes to . show that when the average American is taking bis vacation from business hi* chief i delight is in relaxing all his business like j principles and spending mouey as freely as water-as long as he has it to spend.

H E A R P E R K IN S TA LK !ELI’S IDEA OF DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN

OPERATIONS.

He Predicts the Return of McKinley Pros­perity--How Grover Secured HI* Supply of Revenue- Ell's Method of Retaining Our Gold.

Tho w isest m en o f tho Republican p arty worked for w eeks on th e ir St. Louis platform . I t is a political G ib ral­tar. I t is fortified by r ig h t and bucked up experience tau g h t by tho disastrous failures of tho Democrats- T ' o p la t­form iH sound on reciprocity, ictivo tariff, pensions, money and the Monroe doctrine.

Wlmt w ill tho Dem ocrats do?Why, they w ill fight against th is p la t­

form , for they w ill fight ugainst sound money, reciprocity and protective tariff. Tho World Ims commenced its assault. I t says th a t C leveland got $80,000,000 m ore revenue his tirs t your than H a r­rison did during h is lust year. Of course Cleveland did, but to ge t th is revenue, having a tariff 80 p e rc e n t lower than Iiurflson , he had to ship 30 per cent more goods from Europe th an Harrison did. W hen Cleveland shipped 80 per cent more, goods from Europe, wo m anufactured 80 per cent less goods iu America. This kept 80 per cent of our labor idle, dropped wages 80 per cen t and closed down 80 per cent of our m ills , aud 80 per cen t m ore of our gold w en t to Europe to pay for goods th a t w en t there under Harrison. From a dull at country wo became a 70 cent country.

Then why did H arrison’s revenue fail off th e last year?

It. was because im porters stopped im ­porting. They said, “ We will w ait for C leveland's low ta r iff .” W hen Cleve­lan d ’s low tariff came, then our m ills begun to cut w ages and stop. S team ­ships were loaded w ith foreign goods, and Cleveland did g e t a bigger revenue th an Harrison, but i t was ut the expense of our home m anufacturers. The result w as bad times u t home, aud $250,000,- 000 in gold has gone out to pay for this overim portation, w h ile our own labor lias been idle. Dem ocratic experience backs up Republican theory.

S till the Dem ocrats jump up aud shriek:

"C leveland w ith free trade shipped m ore goods his first year than Harrison d id his last y e a r."

Of course lie did, and tin1 more Cleve­land bought in England the poorer we got a t home.

Now, to discern the shortsighted a r­gum ents which the free traders are be­ginning to resort to, I will give thehoroscope of the fu tu re :

Manchester has organized a Town Improve­ment Association, whose whole aim and object is to bring Manchester to the front as one of the prettiest towns in the pluc belt Of New Jersey. Wellington Howland, chairman of the Township Committee, Is the president; and William A. Torrey is secretary. The membership includes Gen. John 8.

Building good roads is the first move of the association. A scheme talked of, is the bond­ing of the township for $.r>000 tor road pur­poses. The bonds would be 5 per cent, interest bearing, twenty year bonds, to be issued only as the money was needed and at par. The road plan is: first, two and a half miles of road to reach Lakewood; second, oue and a half miles on the Petrine's tavern road ; third, four and a b ill “ lies toward Whitings; fifth, one

W ARETOW N.

On Tuesday of last week the members of the Waretowu Epworth League and their friends went on a sailing excursion and picnic to Harvey Cedars. The weather was exceedingly fine, and the outiug was enjoyed by all. The League thank the owners and captains of the four yachts in which they sailed, and also thank David White and others for courtesies extended.

It is said that thero was a light frost back in the woods one morning last week which affected the grouse huckleberries ami also caused some of the forest leaves to dou their autumn tints much earlier than usual.

Last Sunday was rainy and decidedly un­pleasant for either church goers or pleasure seekers. The clouds broke away and sun came out late in the afternoon however, and Mon­day was truly the most beautiful Labor day we have known since that particular holiday came in fashion, and the day brought many visitors to our little bay shore village. Among them was J. N. Olhausen, General Superintendent of the C. R. R. of New Jersey who came with his family on his private car “ Central” and going out sailing with Capt. Daniel Camburn on the yacht “ Videtto" enjoyed the day to its utmost extent. No doubt this busy, active man of affairs fully appreciated the holiday that so many laboring men look forward to.

Fifteen yachts were out on the bay from our place, and most of their passengers camo from the city. 8ome very line fish were caught— one weak flab weighed over six pounds. Although the wind was light, and indeed per­fectly calm part of (he time, the day was so lovely that it hard to find fault.

We were pleaded to see some of our a ll friend? who get here but seldom aud uoticcd that Cap­tains J. C. Rulon, Win. Burden and J. R. Rob­inson, whose vessels are now iu New York, passed the holiday quietly at their old homes. Harry Ilall and Herschell Birdsaii were also at home.

On Monday evening the ladies of the M. E. church gave a festival in the grove with suc­cessful results.

Little Charley, Ibeiufant son of Mr. aud Mrs. Wm. Gray, died last week, aged one year. The funeral was held on Thursday, Rev. Mr. Clark officiating, Our sympathies are ex­tended to the afflicted parent,

STORY OF THE FLAG.S e n a to r T h u r s to n A ro u se s Som e S tro n g '

A m e r ic a n Sentiment.Iu nu inland manufacturing oity on

election night, in November, 1894, a ft­er tho wires had confirmed the nows of a sweeping Republican victory, two workingmen started to climb to tho top of a groat smokeless chimney. That chimney had been built by the invita­tion and upon the promise of Republic­an protective legislation. In tho factory over which i t towered was employment for twice a thousand men. It had stood a cloud by day and a pillar of flro by night for a busy, industrious, happy people. Now bleak, blackened, voiceless and dismantled, like a grim specter of evil, it frowned down upon the hapless evty, whore poverty, idleness, stagna­tion and w ant attested the complete disaster of tho froo trade experiment.

Up uud up they climbed, watched by the breathless multitude below. Up aud up aud up, until a t lust they stood up­on its summit, and there, in tho glare of tho electric lights, cheered by the gathered thousands, they unfurled and nailed an American flag. Down iu tho streets strong men wept—the happy tears of hope—aud mothers, lifting up their biA.'bw'. iavo.kfd the blessing of +ho flag, aud then impassioned lips burst i in snug, the halleluiah of exultant h r . * cs '̂Tno^iiHgiily ptBi.JT’cf a" people's joy. That song—tho enthusiastic mil ­lions sing it yet—was:Hurrah I Hurrah! Wo King the jubilee!Hurruh! Hurrah I The fiat' that makes us free, So we sing tho chorus from tho mountains to

tho sea—Hurruh for McKinley uud protection 1Over tho city tha t free flag waved,

Thero has boon a remarkable change iu tho volume of business transacted throughout tho United States siuoo 1890, a change that* seems almost in­credible. • But i t shows conclusively the disastrous effeot of a Democratic admin­istration and a policy of froo trade. Taking our bank clearings during the first half of each year, they i how tho following business results:

Since 1890 tho bank clearings lmvo decreased at the rate of $13,500,000,000 a year, meaning an approximate loss of business of $1,000,000,000 a month. The gain of the first half of th is year, over 1895, is comparatively trifling— only $25,000,000 a month.

Comparing the three periods, 1890-2, under a Republican administration, with tho corresponding three periods, 1894-0, under a Democratic adminis­tration, iho contrast is vorv forciblo. Thus:

tho full year’s business, the total bank clearings during threo Democratic years wore approximately $35,000,000,000 less than under tho three years of Re­publican administration. Tho bank clearings are always regarded as afford­ing an approximate idea of tho volume of business that is transacted throughout tho country. I t is not neoossury to com­ment upon them. They must appeal to every wago oaruer aud overy in an of business. Tho remedy—to get rid of ev­ery vestige of Democratic control in tho administration of national affairs—is iu the hands of the people.

easy of approach young lawyers wero wont to go to him for advice more than to any other member of the bar. The timidity of a young legal fledgeling always appealed to him. Ho was for a long time a member of the committee appointed to examine applicants for ad­mission to the bar in the circuit in which he traveled, and his method of conducting the examination can in no way be better illustrated than by the following anecdote related by one of tho applicants who still enrv-iyev * ‘I studied law for some time in my brother’s office, and while attending court in Blooming­ton decided to apply for examination. Judge Davis, to whom I spoke and whom I knew quite well, told me that Lincoln was a member of the examining committee and suggested I should seo him. Accordingly I called Lincoln to one side in the courtroom one day and asked when it would suit the commit­tee’s convenience to examine me. ‘How long have you been studying?’ he asked. ‘Almost two years, ’ I responded. ‘ Well, th a t seems long enough,’ ho said, ‘to find out whether you have the stuff in you to make a lawyer. If you w ill come up to my room in the hotel after supper this evening, I reckon I can pass on your case. ’ Promptly at the appointed hour I knocked at the door of his room and was admitted, but I was hardly pre­pared for the sight tha t met my gaze or the queer impression it made on me. Instead of finding my examiner iu the m idst of books and papers, ;ts I antici­pated, he was undressed and leisurely taking a bath! I confess to a strange sensation as his gaunt half nude figure moved to and fro between me and the window. Motioning me to take a chair, he began his questions at once without looking up a second time to bo sure of the identity of his caller. In rapid suc-

After he had dressed himself wo went down stairs and over to the clerk’s office in the courthouse, where he wrote a few lines on a sheet of paper, and, in­closing it iu an envelope, directed mo to report with i t to Judge Logan, an­other member of the examining com­mittee at Springfield. ‘He may w ant to examine you further. ’ I repaired at once to Springfield, where I delivered my missive as directed. On reading it Judge Logan smiled, but much to my surprise gave mo the required certificate without asking a question beyond my ago, residence and the proper way of spelling my name. The note from Lin­coln read:

“ J udge Logan—This young man, Mr. — , w ants to be a law yer. X have examined him somewhat and have concluded he has moro sense than his looks seem to indicate. You can question him fu r th e r if you choose, bu t as me, I think he'll do. Y’ours truly,

“ A. L incoln.'When Lincoln was asked by a young

man to indicate the best mode of * mak ing a lawyer of oneself, he answered: ‘‘The mode is very simple, though la­borious and tedious. It is only to get books and read aud study them care­fully. Begin w ith ‘Blackstone’s Com­mentaries,’ and after reading it care­fully through — say, twice—take up ‘Chitty’s Pleadings,’ ‘Greenleaf’s Evi­dence’ and ‘Story’s Equity’ in succes­sion. Work, work, work is the main thing. ”

The old eighth circuit, w ithin the lim its of which Lincoln lived and prac­ticed, consisted o f 14 comities prior to 1853, when it was reduced to eight— viz, Sangamon, Logan, Tazewell, Wood­ford, McLean. Dvwitt, Champaign and Vermillion. Lincoln was the only law­yer who made the circuit entire. Seated in his one horse buggy behind a sorry looking animal he would set out from Springfield to be gone for weeks at a •4retch. The lawyers as he drove into each successive place, eagerly anticipat­ing a new collection of stories, were glad to greet him, and the landlords, so we

According to a celebrated anatomist there are upwards of 5.000,060 little glandB lu the human stomaeb. These glands pour out the digestive juices which dissolve or digest the food. Indigestion is want of juice, woakness of glands, need of help to restore the health of these organs. The best and most natural help is that given by hhaker Digestive Cordial. Natural,because it supplies the materials needed by the glands to prepare the digestive juices, Because it strengthens and invigorates the glands and the stomach, until they are able to do their work alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indigestion certainly and permanently. I t does so by natural means, and therein lies the secret of its wonderful and unvaried success.

Ac druggists, price 10 cents to 61.00 per bottle,

are told, hailed his coming with delight. He was one of those gentle, good hu­mored men whom the landlord and tho servants a t the inn generally put off with the most indifferent accommoda­tions. He said once he never so com­pletely felt his own unworthiness as when he stood faco to face with a real, live hotel clerk.

‘‘He was never, ” says one of his com­panions on the circuit, “ seated next tho landlord a t a crowded table and never got a chicken liver or the best cut from the roast. He never complained of the food, bod or lodgings. If every other fellow grumbled at the hill of fare which greeted us at many of the dingy taverns, Lincoln said nothing. Yet he loved the lifo and never went home without re­luctance. ’ ’ Accommodations at tho tav­erns w etd - xceedingly limited, for th i& gs- then were necessarily crudo and prim i­tive. When the court moved from one county to another, there were grout bus­tle and activity at each successive place. Men came together when a term of court rolled around to meet the celebrities at the bar, to buy family supplies, to ne­gotiate loans, to buy and sell livo stock, to hear the lawyers “ plead,” and, in short, for almost every imaginable pur­pose. The best room at the tavern was reserved for the judge and such choice spirits among the lawyers as he might select. The other lawyers slept two in a bed, and three or four beds were located in one room. At meals the judge, law­yers, suitors, jurors, witnesses, court officers and prisoners out on bail ate to ­gether a t a long dining table. The con­versation was general. “ I well recol­lect,” relates one of this promiscuous company, ‘‘a term of court at one place whero a prisoner who was on trial for perjury used to spend the evenings w ith us in Judge Davis’ room, and at another place where the prisoner on trial for larceny not only spent Iris evenings in our room, but took walks with us mid ate in our immediate company.”

I12 this crude society and nomad life Lincoln spent over half of each year. W ithout the conveniences of the modern lawyer, stenographer, typewriter, w ith ­out books oven, he moved from court to court, his papers in his hat or coat pocket, his business in his head. The consideration and tria l of each case be­gan and ended w ith itself, and each successive county brought new business and a different class of clients. In the matters of food and dress he was less fastidious than any other man on the circuit, and his personal habits were of the very simplest character. His hat was usually brown and faded, and the nap almost invariably worn or rubbed off. He wore a short cloak, and some­times a shawl. His coat and vest hung loosely on his giant frame, and his trousers wore always a trifle short. He carried w ith him in one hand a faded green umbrella, w ith his name, A. L in­coln, in large, white cotton or muslin letters sewed on the inside. The knob was gone from tho handle, and when closed a piece of cord was usually tied around it iu the middle to keep it from flying open. Iu the other hand he car­ried a literal carpetbag, in which were stowed tho few papers to be used in court and underclothing enough to last till his r< i s.jVA.to Springfield.

“ I shall never forget, ” related an I l ­linois lawyer to mo several years ago, “ the first tim e I ever saw Mr. Lincoln. It was in Danville in 1853. I had set out from my home in the cast to find in the great west a suitable place iu which to locate and begin the practice of law. A friend had given me a note of intro­duction to A. Lincoln, Esq., whom he designated one of tho leading lawyers in central Illinois. I had expected to meet Mr. Lincoln in Springfield, but 1 was told tha t lie was then out on the circuit and tha t I would doubtless find him at Danville. In a few days I re­paired to the latter place. When I called at tho hotel, I was told that I would find him in Judge Davis’ room. In the region where I had been brought up tin judge of a court was a man generally whose presence was gravity itself, aud I was therefore not a little abashed a ft­er I had climbed the unbanistered stair­way to find myself so near the presence and dignity < f Judge Davis, in who.-* room I expe cted to find Lawyer Lincoln. Iu response to my tim id knock, two voices responded almost simultaneously ‘Come in !’ Imagine my surprise when the door opened to find two men un ­dressed, or rather dressed for heel, en­gaged in a lively battle w ith pillows, flinging them a t each other’s heads. One, a low, heavy set man, who, ex­hausted w ith the sport, leaned against the foot of the bed and puffed like a lizard, answered to the description of Judge Davis. His companion was a man of tremendous stature. In comparison to Davis he looked as if he were 7 feet tall. He was incased iu a long, indescrib­able garment, yellow as saffron and from beneath which protruded two of the largest feet it has ever been my privi­lege to behold. This immense shirt, for such it must have been, looked as if it had been literally chopped out of the original bolt of flannel of which it was made and the pieces joined together without reference to either measurement or capacity. The only thing that kept it from slipping off his gaunt, attenuated frame was the single button at the throat, and I confess to a shudder at the thought of the result iu case that button should by any mischance lose its hold. I cannot describe my sensations as this ap­parition, w ith the announcement, ‘My name is I 'nooln, s ir,’ strode across the room and grasped my trembling ha.id. 1 will not say ho reminded me of satan, but I cannot avoid the conclusion that he was the ungodliest figure I ever saw. ’ ’

A vulgar man is captious and jealous, eager and impe tuous about trifles. He suspects himself to be slighted—thinks everything tha t is said is meant at him. If the company happens to laugh, he is persuaded they laugh at him. He grows angry and testy, says something very impertinent and draws himself into a scrape by showing w hat lie calls a prop­er spirit and asserting himself.—Ches-1 terfield.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla“ For five years, I suffered untold misery

from muscular rheumatism. 1 tried every known remedy, consulted tho best physi­cians, vlsltotl Hot Springs, Ark., throe times' spending $1000 there, besides doctors’ bills’ but could obtain only temporary relief. My flesh was wasted away so that I weighed only ninety-three pounds; my left arm and leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles

The pnln?, at times, were so awful, tlmt I could procure relief only by means of hypodermic injec­tions of morphine. I bad my limbs bandaged in clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these gave only temporary relief. After trying everything, and sulTering the most awful tortures, 1 began to lake Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Inside of two months, 1 was able to walk without a cane. In three months, my limbs began to strengthen, and in the course 0? a year, I was cured. My weight lias increased to 165 pounds, and I am now able to do my full day's work as a railroad blacksmith.”
