No Dispute Seems Too Small. to Be Taken Into Court—Quarrels Among Petty “Chiefs” Provide Fat Fees for Native Lawyers. The Gold Coast, on the west coast of Africa, is a paradise of lawyers, say Ethel and Olar Letheridge, spe- cial correspondents of the London Daily Telegraph. They write: A point which must be made. in connection both with Ashanti and the northern territories is that these ad- ministrations are independent of the Gold .Coast. proper, except in so far as they acknowledge a common gov- ernor who resides at.Accra. They are also included in the financial esti- mates of the colony as a whole, and receive ‘military aid if it is required. Of course,. they; work through the sec- retariat, which is the channel of com- munication to the.governor, Beyond this they are free. They have their own courts, their own police, their own methods of administering justice and their own internal legislation. ‘Now, this may seem a small matter, but, In all:truth, it is pregnant with importance for the future of this col- ony. The matter in ‘a nutshell is the stmple fact that the courts of Ashanti and the northern territories will not permit the employment of native or European barristers under any cir- cumstances. They prefer, and quite rightly so, to deal with the native population, be they .chiefs or laborers. Now the’ curse of the Gold Coast fs lttigation. Whatever maybe said ‘about the total population’ of the col- ony, there are enough lawyers in the three towns of Sekondi, Cape Coast and Accra to make a good-sized Eng- lish country village, They fairly tum- ble over one another.» Yet they are all prosperous, they all have their motors and send their daughters to places like Cheltenham to be educated. How on earth caa tt be done? is fhe natural query. The. answer. | that the gold mine they are tapping {gs the natignal chiefs. In this con- nection it must be remembered that, with very! few exceptions the word “chief,” as here employed may mean | little more than the headman of ‘a village. Forever are these petty des- pots quarreling over land questions, the delimitations of their boundaries, and so forth. In Ashantt questions of ‘this.nature can be pleasantly swiftly and satis- factorily: settled within an hour \ or two, perhaps, at practically no ‘ex; pense to anybody. i Not'so upon the Gold Coast. The “cocoa standard” has set the pace, All these little people have money, and as soon as they covet their neigh- bors’ land they fly to a native lawyer, ably, files to them, and the intermin- able game of litigation starts. It may last three months, or ft‘may last three years—the latter if the lawyers think it worth while. " Counsel are employed at altogether disproportionate fees over’ the most pettifogging matters, and so it goes/ on until the rival claimants shake hands over having at least one thing in common—they are in bankruptcy. This is no exaggeration. In one case at Addah, the time oc- cupied over settling. a little dispute was a fortnight, and the defending counsel, who lost the case for his cli- ent, received as a fee the sum of. $6,- 000. Another, a ruling chief who shall be nameless, since he occupies a very important position, has the doubtful pleasure of an overdraft of $40,000 been frittered away over lawyers.

D., Aug. 10. king | of testimony in the famous eton and Wahpeton Indian :aysuit against the United States government. has been continued after a hearing here, The two tribes of Indians are pe- titioning the government to recover $20,394,951.48, alleged to be due on ac- count of treaties originated when the territory as represented by Minneso- ta, North and South Dakota, was ced: ed to the United States. * The government through. its coun- sel, contends that the treaties in question were violated by Indian up- risings in pioneer days. This charge the Indians deny. The case, by pe- tition, has been for three years in the United States court of claims. Testimony has already been taken at the Sisseton agency ir.

Denied “‘An- cestral Harness?” Bride Allowed to Take Pride in Wear- Ing the Gown in Which Grand- mrther Was Married, but for _ Hirh, Nothing Doing. Wh; 4*es a man never get married in ancesirt] harness? asks a writer in the New York Evening Sun. One reads in the report of a recent wedding in New Haven, Conn., that “the bride (Miss Dorothy W. Day) wore a gown Which was. worn by ber grandmother when the latter was married fifty years ago.” In other. cases #t is not the entire gown, but the “bridal dress was trimmed. with rare old lace that was part of the wedding finery of the bride’s, great. grandmother when that estimable lady. was married, about seventy-five years before.” But who ever read, “Mr. Bridegroom was quite handsome in a suit of black which was worn, by his grand- father, the Hon. John Bridegroom, when the latter married Miss Mehita- ble Spanker in 1860?” Nor does one ever learn from a modern, wedding report: “The bride- groom's feet. were clad in shoes that his. great-great grandfather, Capt. Peddediah Timkin, wore at Bunker Hill and Valley, Forge. The shoes, with only slight restoration necessary, are, in. marvelous , condition and lent a, distinctly. revalutionary flavor to the bridal occasion.” In fact, the bridegroom’s clothing never gets mention, beyond “the con- ventional black.” If it-did it would be only to relate some disaster too Im- portant, wnusual or ridiculous to be omitted, even in a wedding narrative. Two chief reasons are advanced for the lack of ancestral male garments at the bridal altar. difficulty of making a man look eyen passable in his grandfather's rig, whereas a girl becomes more. beautl- ful in the quaint garments of a by- gone day. Moreover, a man. appear- ing for his wedding in’ a John Han- cock coat’ and knickers would claim more attention. than the bride, and that’ would be fatal at any wedding. But the real reason’ why a man does not murry in his grandfather's scenery is because it is’not. Grand. mother put her wedding dress care- fully away, and preserved it for her children. Granddad put. his away for the nonce, ‘but he was 4n no_circym- stances to preserve a perfectly good suit for another generation. He needed it in his own business. ) So | eventually his bridal attire went the way of all men’s clothing. | But it would be refreshing, some critics of the times say, to read once fn a while in wedding reports: “The bridegroom’s svelte shape was admirably set off by the bridal pants worn seventy-five years ago by his paternal grandfather, the celebrated Squire Binglewhiffle, on the occasion: of his marriage to ‘the beautiful Prudence Winterbottom.” DOE RES SE Ws ee Madrid Jammed With People. Spain's abstention from the war has not prevented’n housing crisis In that country. In the large cities the de- mand for apartments ts so great that new buildings are leased from roof to basement before construction {s fairly under way. In Madrid the population has in- creased 30 per cent since the outbreak of the war. The recent arrivals are not only newly enriched Spaniards, but also refugees and visitors from belligerent countries, who during the war sought the Spanish capital as a peace/oasis. The population of the city i now approximately one million, or an average of Seventy-two for every building. Its density of population is believed to. be greater than that of any other large town in Europe, or 271 per hectare (more than 100 per acre) as compared with 200 per. hee: tare in Paris and 128 in London. In the central part; of the city the population reaches 773 per hectare: It should be recalled in this connection that the buildings do not as a rule con- ' tain so/‘many floors as in our country. sLiving Age.
