There were no deeonitlons, lloral or otherwise, and In this, the general opin ion was. the committee Fhowed good taste, for, as to the heanty of the elabor ate Inferior of the Jerniyn dining room, can lie applied the adage, "beauty un adurned Is beauty best." Tlie dinner and the manner In which It was served was most creditable to m km ($&i if JAMES If. TOUUKY, President of the Association and Chair man of the Evening. (Icidfroy's men.

He then announced that during the year three mem bers of the bar had deceased, J. M. C. Hand:, Frank Howard Miller and Jere miah 1J. Regan. A toast was drunk In silence to their memory after which Mr. Torrey delivered the president's ad dtcss. His theme was "The law It has hunoied us; may we honor It." He said: Jilt. TURKEY'S ADDRESS. We have lled thro' the labors, the snuggles and the honorable burdens of unutlier yuur. We are honored by tliu pilvllege of membership. In the most ex ulted, the most exacting, the most com. jjielieiislve of professions. If, as lias been tiiil the law is the perfection of human tirtson, its instruments have the best op puitmilty and the broadest Held for the deieloplueht and exercise of the highest intellectual powers. What human rela tion which does not look to us for the. !. llnltioti of Its rights utul its obligations? What individual or eoipurate privilege which does not trace its origin to and Mtk its vindication from the law? What iiyht so Inslgiillleant that the law will i.oi summon to its enforcement the en tile power of the state? What interest so vast or powerful that It must not yield to tlie demonstration of the humblest pleader and bend to the enforcement of tlie Judgment of the law? It is the boast and the pride of our institutions that ull ii.eii are eitu.il tjefore the law. In spite of the cheap sarcasms of the c Hies and the sneers of pessimists, I be lieve the statement was nowhere ever so true as today in free America. I believe th.it the process of the evolution of the highest type of social Institutions Is con stantly progressive and that we are to day In advance of any previous period of the world's history. To the legal profes sion moie than to any other single liumun agency is due the credit for what has alieudy been attained. To the legal pro fession must the world look for the com ph tlon of the work so well begun. I am aware that I am In danger of uttering what may be regarded as mere platitudes In culling attention to the principles which should control the piofesslonal conduct of lawyers. Rut many of the most eminent mem bers of the bar have confessed to the habit of frequently leviewlug the mo-st elementary principles of conduct In order to make certain that they hud not iineou-sr-lously deviated from them. The careful nmilner frequently consults his compass and his chnit. The artist turns constant h from bis work to his model. As the courts so often say to the grand In quests, so I say to you, "Your duties ate hi Icily and clearly prescribed In the oath which you have taken" to support and defend the constitution. How glibly the Words slip from our lips, and with how little realization of their meaning. All that Is comprehended In that grand woid "loyalty" Is here expressed. These constitutions embody all that the struggles and the sufferings of our an cestors have wiested from the hands of humun power and selllsh greed from Runnymede to Appomatox. They embody tlie ilpe fruit of the highest thoughts of the piofouudest thinkers of all past ages. Every letter Is traced In martyr blood. Every sentence represents the travail of heroic sold. We are chosen custodians to preserve from desecration or pollution this palladium of humanity's progress. Well may we resolve that no selllsh nm bltlon, no mercenary motive shall per suade us to commit, or permit any stain to be placed upon Its fair pages THE LAWYER'S OBLIGATION. That you will discharge your duties with fidelity to the court us well us to the client. Fidelity to client requires honesty, in- duslry. pertinacity. An enlightened ic gaid for self-Interest would seem a suf ficient Incentive to this virtue. Yet tlio seluctlve temptation to prefer present gain to future success, and the very human aversion to unremitted labor make It necessary for us to often review our lelatlons to our clients, that we may be sure that they deserve the appellation fidelity. The relations of lawyers to the court are of tho most dellcato and sacred character. The temptations to violate this duty are tho most subtle to which a lawyer Is subjected. There Is tho great est danger that tho Ideu of the court shnll become confused with the person of the judge, when In fact, he should be to us the embodiment of abstract Justice. Again when tho court sets Itself in an. tagonlsm to our course, we are la danger of treating It like our antagonists at the bar, and of Justifying ourselves In tho resoit to any method by which the op position mny be overcome. In the heat of legal conflicts wo are often so pos sessed by the "rage of buttle" that we are ready to cast discretion to tho winds, and sacrifice any ethical consideration to success. From these dangei-B ivo can certainly escape only by keeping constantly In mind the lawyer's high function as a priest In the temple of Justice. The law must bo to him more precious than nls highest fee, more dear than his best client, moro desirable than success. The court must be to him tho oracle of jus. tlce, whose person Is to bo always re spected, whose confidence never betrayed, whoso Judgment Is always yltlded to. This Involves no cringing subserviency. Honest zeal und lespectful pertinacity command no greater admhatlon from any than from the bench. These considera tions ure In a peculiar respect uppioprl ate for us at this lime, as the past year bus furnished u striking and painful Illus tration of the disastrous results of dis regarding the lawyer's duty to the court. In no Jurisdiction, 1 venture to say, can there be less palliation for the violation of the lawyer's obligation or Illicitly to the court limn In that which Is presided over by the three learned, Industrious, Impar tial und courteous Judges of tho l'orty 111 1 ti district. 3, Use no falsehood nor delay any per son's uauso for lucre or malice.

No great lawyer ever appears so truly great as when he is tmttlnif forth his highest energy In de fense of the poor and lowly. AS TO U1MIAVIOR. I. Hehave In the olllco of attorney to the best of vour learning and ability. Our learning and ability comprehend all that we have that can be useful to man kind In our chosen profession. These are to be so far as we can control and direct them, always at their best, and ever bet ter. Learning by study, learning by prac tice, learning by observation, learning best and hardest of all by falluie the puth pointed out by our oath leads ever upward to higher attainments, broader culture and purer conception. We may think we start with little and that the wav is nairow and rough, but when we have faithfully given our best, we shall llnd In the end. whatever our ultimate goal, that we shall be Judged not accord ing to what we have not, but according to that which we have. The world mny never rank us with the bright luminaries of our honored piofesslon, but theie is none of us who cannot If he will make himself worthy to associate with those who have done their best. The long, weary i.ifiPBss nf develoument of legal princi ples Is simply a struggle to lift human lurlspruduiice to the level of the divine law, which Is Its antitype. Above and beyond the llgure of Justice to which we do homago "In the shadow standeth nod, of whom Justice Is but one of the many infinitely perfect attributes. Inso far as we honestly and faithfully admin ister human law, nnd safeguard the rights of our fellow men, Just so far shall we most acceptable serve our Clod and secure the highest attainable reward, the "Well done." .... ,, Wherever the eloquence of Peter the Hermit 11 red the souls of men, th"ir swords leapt from their scabbards, and upon their ciuclform hilts were sealed the oaths of the Crusaders to know neither homes, families, friends nor possessions until the cross should rcnlace the cres cent over the Holy Sepulcher. Though the object of the Crusaders was never fu)lv accomplished, the unselfish zeal of the Templars and their comradeship In the great and glorious conflicts did much toward ushering the renaissance and dis sipating the gloom of the dark ages. W o. too, are an oainuoiiiiu uiiini uust. ..... .. to the execution of higher, If less danger ous, enterprises. Let us emulate their ex ample In unswerving loyalty und fidelity to the requirements of our oath. Mr. Torrey then Intioduced the toast master, Judge Edwards. Ills theme was: "Look, he's winding up tho watch of his wit; ISy and by It will strike." TOASTMASTER TAKES CHARGE. Judge Edwards, upon assuming the position, said: "The duties of a toast master are few nnd slmule. The dic tionary says they are two to announce the toast and time the cheering." After u few happy remark? he addressed him self to tlie younger members of the bar, saying his sympathy always turned to the young men of the bar. "Our bar is a young bar," ho said. "Let the young men be patient, courageous and liuius tilous. Let the older members lend thein a hearty helping hand." He then warned the speakers against keeping to their texts; welcomed tho Superior court judges, In whose honor the banquet was held so early tills year, and then pioceeded to Introduce the speakers. In Introducing the first speaker Judge Heaver, he said: "Let me Introduce a. soldier who became a geneial; a citi zen who became u governor; a lawyer who became a judge. This felicitous Introduction and Judge Beaver's popu larity brought a round of applause which lasted fully a minute, Judge Beaver's theme was "Errors and Appeals." "We Learn Through Er rois." There Is not a lawyer who does not convict himself of error, whenever he 1 called upon to exercise the func tions of his otllce. lie always makes a better speech after lie goes home and lies down In bed than he did before the jury; just when the ink is dry on an opinion it occurs to the judge that he could have used a more appropriate precedent or could have quoted a better authority. It is by appreciating these errors that we learn. The reason of this Is that the law Is not on exact science It Is Interpreted and delivered by falli ble men. In concluding. Judge Beaver made some happy remarks concerning tlie manner In which he had been subslitut- What say you to tlie nhnrge7" Without much pertuibiitlnti The culprit said: "Your Honor, ns a law- . yer I do swear That all your Judgments and decisions rlgjiteolis are; Hut us an editor I'll stoutly swear the more That this your court, Is wicked to the core." "Sir! Hit!" the Justice said; "I'll heed no such distinction, ' Hill will at once decree your quick extinc tion; I'll speed you fiotn the sacred precincts of this bar; Ho! Oo! the gateB or exit now aro wide ajar." The editor-lawyer to a higher court then went, And, a la Stelnman, ninde a plea so elo quent, That soon It was pronounced (and, wc avow, most righteously), "An editor-lawyer can at once a saint and sinner be." Colonel Fltstslmmons was most happy In his witticisms provoking almost con tinuous lnughter and In his serious phrased held the nipt attention of his hearers. He snld In substance: COLON'EL FlT.Sl.M.MON'S TALKS. The committee, In apologizing for put ting me on (he piogramme, remarked that th"V did so In order that I might meet the Judges ol the Supplier Court I naked If they would all be present and wus uu swei'id that nothing short of death wo'dd K.'ep tliein away, that up to date not one of them, except Judge Oilady, hud missed a banquet and It took a railroad wieck in occasion his absence. 1 said 1 hoped lo meet them In the course of piofesslonal work, bul was assured that I would likely make a better Impression on them luie. I stated that I was not a stranger to nil the Judges, that Judge Rice was one nf the committee that examined me for ad mission to the bur, -rind that I did not think It possible for him to furget me, and that Judge Wlllard and I knew each other for many years. That long before Wunutuuker was heard of 111 politics, and utter, we were acquainted, i rpiiiemiier our first meeting. He was county chair man of his party and 1 occupied a similar position for the Uryanites. In those days It was customary for the chairmen to agree on overseers of elec tion. He ramp to tne with Ills list and asked me lor mine. I was surprised next ilay to lead In the nupers the names of his men und have never yet known what became of mine. I next heard him mak ing a speech In the gubernatorial election of VtSl. I added that Judge Reeder could not forget me becnuse T tiled at a case before him once, whn he presided In our eoiiits, owing to our own Judges being too busy. I said I knew Judge Smith quite well, having nominated him twice and was ready for the third encounter if I wete asked As regards Judges Reaver, Wiekham and Orlndy, I knew nothing except the Impression 1 got from their lo- ent pictures In the Tribune. I don't know what to think of the subject given me. I asked Senator McDonald about It and be lefened me to Mr. Oakford. I asked blm what bar the committee meant. He lepllid that public speakers generally il. cussed mutters they knew something ubout. 1 then Inquired If lie thought I would be understood; he said that Charley Haw-ley, Tom Wells and Will Lathrop might catrh on, but he had ionic doubts about the rest. J regard the subject loo portant factors In the National life. No other profession has behind It exemplars and a- history like the law. Its teachers have been the foes of anarchy, misrule and tyranny and Its principles form the foundation of governments and the pal ladium of all our rights. Call the roll and you summon forth the chosen ministers of civilization nnd te forth In all the ages. It was not Pericles, but Solon and his statutes that made pos sible the Grecian powers. It was not her Icglotir, but her twelve tables, that made Rome the mistress or the world. It was not the Norman Conqueior. but tho com mon law which evolved constitutional freedom out of chaos and barbarism and made possible the settlement of America. Ilncnn, Rluekstone, Manslleld, Broug ham, .Marshall, Jay, Livingstone, Kent, Story and hundreds of others by their knowledge or the law have done more lor civilization and humanity than all the warriors of the world. In the suck of the Italian city of Amain a cop of the Pandects was discovered, the study or the civil war sprang up all over Emope and Its administration passed from the Ecclesiastics to Its trained pro- said, yet no one learns It by Intuition. Knowledge of the law comes from hnrd work. It Is not searching cases that are on all fours with the case In linnd, or hunting for one that squints like It, but rather In hnvlng the grutind piln clpuls nt hand when no books nre about that makes the successful lawyers. Judge Wiekham, Judge Reeder, Judge Wlllnrd nnd Judge Smith each In turn wns cnlled upon nnd each expressed his appreciation of tlie entertainment afforded and good feeling exhibited by the Laukawanna bar and Scranton's people. When Judge Smith In his re marks, stated that Scranton was not In hospitality second to any city ' where the Supreme court has held sessions, all tho Su perior court Judges showed by gen erous hand clapping that those were their sentiments, too. Homer Green, of llonesdnle, and A. II. McCllnlock, nf AVIIkes-Harre, also made brief responses and at 11.30 o'clock the festivities were brought to n close with a few happy remarks by the tunstmnstor. The committee which hnd charge was composed of Roswell 11. Patterson, chniimau; James E. Burr, Hon. M. E. McDonald, Hon. T. V. Powderly, Mnjor James W.

"Soldler-Oeneral; Cltlzen-Clovernor; Lawyer-Jurist." ed for Judge Orlady, saying that he could not see how rheumatism of the wrist could affect a man's jaw. He sat down amidst another rousing outburst of applause. In the absence of Judge McPherson the toast "Nisi Prlus," with the theme "Delay of Justice Is Injustice," was assigned to Hon. Addison Condor, of Willlamsport. He contented himself with n very apt story, which provoked no end of laughter. THE LAWYER-EDITOR. "The Bar in Journalism" was the toast assigned to Colonel Frank J. Fltz slmmons. In Introducing Colonel Fltz slmmons, Judge Edwards read the theme. "I slept In an editor's bed last night, When no other chanced to be nigh, And I thought as I tumbled the editor's bed, How easily editor's lie." He also read the following poem, the authorship of which he refused to give: (Based on a Reported Case.) An editor-lawyer once before the court was cited To answer to a charge of libel he'd In dited, In which he hud truducert the Judge and his decision And suld It was of luw und Justine s perversion, The Judge, In voice Indignant and with firm demeanor, Addressed the oulptit, saying: "Sir! your llagrant enor A crime Is which deseives the swiftest ' condemnation; COLONEL FRANK J.

When I was Informed of the toast to which I was to respond tonight another member of the committee Mr. Torrey told' me that while discussing the city solleitorshlp with a South Side councilman recently the lat tei said that an editor once got into a lawyer's bed and quieted the awakening sleeper's apprehensions by remarking, "how easily we lie together." What application the story had on the eve of the election of the city's legal lep rcsentatlve I will leave to Inference. My knowledge of law and journalism was not acquired from books; my greatest law suit was against myself, I was charged with blackening the reputation of a Democrat by publishing that he voted for a Republican. While I employed eminent counsel, yet I was not idle myself. 1 have often smiled since when they hinted for their fees by telling me It was a close cas,e. There was a man on the Jury who lived In Hyde Purk; be was an Insurance agent. He culled on me the night before the verdict and told me that tlie plTje of libel ty was a policy. I said to him that I heard It the other way thai honesty wus the best policy. He replied that an epigram was as forceful as a maxim. A DANGEROUS POSITION. 1 tiled to get lid of him by saying that there wns a law against a person charged with libel becoming Insured; he replied that such a luw unlike the license law, could be successfully violated, as the pre mium was all that was then necessary. I was acquitted, but never got the policy, and I don't now regiet It, as 1 have since learned he repiesented Tim O'Leury'.s In surunco company. But aside with levity. The sentiment assigned is too brimful of thought nnd too suggestive of elaborate tieatment to iccelve more than a passing word on such an occasion. May an honest bar ever elm to assist Justice to prevail and its civilizing inlluences spread until all of Uod's children, under every sky of the universe, recognize Its grandeur, re spect Its design and acquiesce In Its ad ministration. May high-minded and progressive Jour nalism never forget its noble mission. May It ever seek the ideal ill its course for the Information and education of the musses, and never cease to uphold the true and discourage the false. Side In side with lav.- mny It ever Journey along lime's highway and may the cry of an aicliy never disturb or triumph over tho one, and the power of avarice never thwart or weaken the other. Law and journalism twin agencies for good may their po tency ever exist to guide, protect, liustruct and edify mankind on Its ceaseless and noiseless march toward eternity. "The Bar In Politics" wns responded to most aptly and eloquently by Major Everett Wurren. The sentiment wns: "It don't ask much gumption to pick out a Haw, In a party whose leaders are looso In the Jaw. Never say iiothin' without you're com pelled to, An' then don't say nothln' that you can be held to." 'IIE BAR IN POLITICS. Major Warren after some witty sallies, aimed at one or the other of his follows, said: The subject given me. gentlemen, Is rather large for an evening crowded, as this hus been, wdth many themes und most delightful speaker. It recalls an Inci dent of college days when the sententious professor of rhetoric sulci to me: "Sir, your time Is three minutes, your subject tho 'Immorality of the Soul," " snd I am afraid my discussion of It will be as un sutlsfactory us was the c'ock of a man who remarked to a caller, complimenting him upon Its appearance: "Well, that clock mny look all light, but R gets things terribly mixed. 1 have had It for a year or two and the only thing 1 huvo been ablo to make out of It Is this: When ever the hands point to twalvo and the clock strikes two, It Is exactly twenty mlnutC3 to seven." , An the law controls nil tho relations of life, regulates Internatlo.ial dlsnutcs and settles tho rights undredrrvsrs the wrongs of all classes and conditions of men, its tiue disciples aro bound to be most Im- MAJOR EVERETT WARREN, Told ills Fellows Why Lawyers Should He Pi olid of Their Piofesslon. fessors nnd Instructors. In revenge, It Is raid, the council of the church In that city decreed that no lawyer could enter the kingdom of heaven. "This anathema," a distinguished lawyer and politician of the state of New Vol k has said, "the lawyers have lequlted, for they have converted the nations from the Hell ot arms to the Heaven of arbitration." LAWYERS AND SLAVERY. Bow many years were the statesmen of England trying to protect the guarantee they made us to shivery In tlie West In dies? It was advocated by the merchant men, the traders, the politicians of all parties. Lord Manslleld knew the prom ises of the government and the Immense sums of money Involved In the mainten ance of that policy, but suld he: "Since the question Is before me flat justltla mat coelum; a slave cannot breutho the air of England." Then was human slavery doomed, not only In English dependencies, but all over the world. And Wendall Phil lips said that Mansfield's utterance was the aboltlonlst's battle cry for freedom. In the time of Hlackstone there were one hundred and sixty crimes for whl'dt people could be put to death. The prac tical legislation by which today there are only two, and they treason nnd murder, wus placed upon the statute books by the humanity of lawyer statesmen ot both England and America. As 1 read history the political mission of the United States hus so far been wrought out by Individuals, and possibly terrltoilnl conditions. Four men of un equalled genius have dominated our cen tury und molded the thought of the Re public. They are Hamilton, Jefferson, Webster, Lincoln, and they weie ull atv yers. It was as a law student in the olllce of Ceorge Wyeth, Thomas Jelferson learned how to write the Decluratlon of Inde pendence. In that same olllce Chief Jus tice Marshall read law, and Henry Clay wus his prlvute secretary. Hi eat as were tlie lives and precious the niemoiles of Washington und Greene and Knox and Putnam, they simply struggled in the Held to maintain the Pleas of Jef ferson embodied in tho first state paper of America, our Declaration of Rights, Alexander Hamilton was not u great lawyer, although he settled the law of Libel and the liberty of the Press, lie was a greater linancler. however, than Gouvenler Morris and he lived to found the fiscal system of the states he did so much to knit together In one body politic. To Daniel Webster, the greatest lawyer of his time, we owe the nutioiial Idea. Jackson could threaten to hang the ntilll tlers. Calhoun did not fear him, but Cal houn trembled in his chair In the senate when he beard Webster answer his col league from South Carolina and announce "that other continent dear to every Aineilcun heart, liberty and union, now ami forever, one and Inseparable." That was the sentiment that rallied tho liberty loving people of this land when treason threatened to tear the stars from our ling. And Abraham Lincoln, of blessed memory, the masterful creation of tlie West, the leader of the bar of Illinois, he lived and died that "government of the people by the people and for the people should not perish from the earth." Ours Is and always has been a govern ment eontiollod by lawyers. De Tocque vllle said In this fact lies Its greatest claim to stability and expansion. The profession has furnished three-fourths of our piesddcnls; it has filled the cabinet and the councils of the nation. LAWYERS AND AMERICA. Charles Francis Black, Chief Justice walte, William n. Evurts in the Geneva arbitration did mole for America and Its future than can ever be estimated. The duty of a lawyer to his profession and his state compels him to be a polltlcluu; I do not mean an olllce-bolder. To the discussion nnd direction of pub lic affairs the Uar. us u French writer hus said, "bilngs a spirit of tolerution and lib erality, a quickness of apprehension, a hatred ot arbltrury power, un Intellec tual culture, a knowledge of men pos sessed by no other profession In an equal degree." There Is a fallacy current on men's lips against which 1 distinctly and earnestly protest. It is said when the members of the state legislature, or even of the na tional congress, are classified by num bers, that there ure too many lawyers among them. 1 maintain that for the public good there are not nearly lawyers enough. It depends, of course, u good deal on what sou call u lawyer. No bet ter evidence indeed could lie desired that more lawyers are needed in making our luws than Is afforded by the laws that nre actually made. Examine the biennial volumes of Pennsylvania. And say then how much, If any, work Is there which seems to you as If It could have come from tho baud of a Jurist. There Is no work which a lawyer can do for his commun itynone, 1 suppose, that any man can do that can surpass in beneficence the woik of making more Just, more clear or more sure the laws under which his fellow-men are to live. Of the English Statute of Fraud, in drawn, nwkwaid and confused as It wus, a great Judge said ninny years ago: "Every line was worth u subsidy." I'pou the orderly and Just development of luw, civilization icsis. And the law whose sect Is In tho bosom of God, the law which has brought the world so far since the dawn of history toward that "Far off, divine event, to which the whole i rent Ion moves," "The Sovereign Law the States collected will, "O'er thrones and globes elate, "Sits Empress, crowning good, repress ing ill." CALLS FOB ORLADV. This exhausted tlie toast list but the Inwytrs were not satisfied. They want ed mine talking nnd they wanted Judge Orlady to do some of It. in response to calls of "Orlady" and a request of tho toastmaster, Judge Orlady responded with a few timely remarks, and a good story. Ho expressed his graltude for thu, kindness of the Lackawanna bar in entertaining him nnd hl.s associates in so hospitable a maimer, and also took occasion to express his kindly appreci ation of the generous treatment the Superior court judges had. received at tlie hands of Scrantonlans In general.
