Quay, has been deacrlbcd aa a dapper little man. and tbe description fits him In every ordinary particular, says the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean. He is small of stature, almost a dandy In drees and a sportsman In tastes. He lorn good horses, good hunting and fishing, and. small as he Is, hois ready to engage in battle cither physically or mentally. He has good nerve. He has always been a lover of good horseflesh, and hla horses are hla friends. He bus risked his life with them on a number of occasions, going .with them to save them from Injury when It seemed certain death rather than abandon them-to save himself. On ane occasion, shortly before "he became attorney general, he waa driving hla famous pair of registered'trotters in the suburbs of Pittsburg. It .was a cold, crisp morning, and the spirited anlmais were In fine fettle. They were bowling along the road‘at a 220 gait when a reckless driver tried to pass Mr. Knox. In his effort to do so be whipped bis horses into a and went by the high bred trotters of Mr. Knox like a whirlwind, flourishing bis whip and shouting like a demon. He repeated this performance until . Mr. Knox was no longer able to bold In his horses. They left their feet and ran away. They went down the boulevard at terrific speed, and tbe light road wagon was not even heavy enough to steady them. Mr. Knox could not pull them down. • He had to let them run. and he did so for several miles, but as he neared the city and saw the certainty of their being killed by running Into the network of street cars and trucks his mind began to work quickly and calmly In finding a" way to save his bones. He knew, as a fact, that there was a stone pile by the side of the road near the railroad crossing, and be knew by instinct that the horses would not run Into that stone pile even if, be tried to pull them that way, but would shy and overturn the wagon with him In tt. He reasoned surely and acted quickly, he neared the stone pile be palled the frightened horses toward it. They did Just what be expected them to da* Aa they neared tbe stone pile they shied, and tbe sodden turn upset tbe wagon, throwing Mr.. Knox about twenty feet, where be struck, not on his bead, but on his arm. which be had thrown -over his bead as a shield, for.be bad planned tbe whole Incident, even to bow be would fall, and relied on tbe heavy fur overcoat worn to from serioos injury. Tbe stopped when tbe wagon and they were caved from serious Injury In tbe crowded streets of the city. ^ Once, when Mr. Knox was a young man, be bad a case to conduct against a quack doctor, says tbe Louisville Courier-Journal. It was bis purpose to prove tbe doctor quite Ignorant of medicine, and tbe means be adopted to do this were Ingenious and defective. Getting tbe man on tbe stand, be began: “You used, sir, on my client here, (when be called you In, modern and approved methods Y* “Certainly, certainly,'

noon. As they were driving back to town the supply of cigars became exhausted. and as be threw away his last stump Mr. Knox turned to bis friend, saying: “Jerry, what Is tbe name Of. thee* cigars we have been smoking?" The name was furnished. “Weil" said be In s manner weO known to his friends, "n man could smoke them for all time and never violate the lustrucdona of bis physician to leave tobacco alone.” “P. C. Knox was neatly taken In by a bunch of witty law students In Pitts burg shout eleven years ago.” said a well known member of the Allegheny county bar at the court house recently to a reporter of the Pittsburg Dispatch. "Phil Knox was not the only sucker either,'' continued the speaker, "for Tmve Watson. Clarence Bnrlolgb and two dozen other leading lights in the local law firmament hit on the game. Of course it was not done with malice, but in tbe most friendly spirit, and those who swallowed the bait were afterward put next. They took the matter good nnturedly, for they realized that they bad helped push a good cause along. You oee- tbe law students bad organized a baseball team, but funds had run out. In order to replenish \he treasury they furnished each of their thirty members with a separate subscription list. All tbe lists were exactly alike, ai>d each member was coached to make the same line of talk. Thirty of tbe leading attorneys were selected, and eaob student was assigned to submit hla paper and the prearranged hot air to some one of these lawyers. Thus each person approached had an idea that he was beading a subscription list and be came up handsomely. Mr. Knox cheerfully beaded the paper for $80. Mr. Wataon beaded another sheet for a similar sum. When the boll players met that night they turned Into the treasury a sum that was simply astounding." While a practicing attorney Mr. Knox was one of the busiest lawyers In America: A few yean ago be much put out because he bad to accept a fee of $80,000, says the Wash ingtou Post. A friend met him as be was leaving theyoffice, and he was swearing mad. fie waa quivering with vexation and swearing with piratical vigor. “What's It all about this timer’ asked tbe friend, who was used to bis ways and not much concerned over the outburst. i “I have been knocked out of a trip to Egypt” “Whew! That's worse than I thought What did itr “My folks want me to make an argument In a case, and I told them I could not be here. They told me to fix my price, and I said $90,000, thinking that would put them out of mind. It did not. They took me up, and my plans are all. upoet” “Well, I guess you can stand to have your plana busted," dryly remarked tbe friend as be wondered If there., waa any other lawyer In tbe world who could be made mad by being to to accept $50.QOO.

Halasll. Belna Deprived at Mseh Prupertr. Took Law LmIo HU Owp Hand* to Obtain Uetirf—Outlaw t’oaea a* ■ Patriot. TAMSIF.lt, June 28.—Ion Perdienris, the American who lias Just lieen released by the brigand IlaUull is better and stronger uaw and has given u description of tbe circumstances of hit capture and of bU experience* while a prisoner In Raiaull's camp. He says that on the night of May |8 he had Just entered the drawing room after dinner, and, hearing a noise among the servants, he and Cromwell Varley. tbe British subject, who also waa captured by IluiauU, wept out to Investigate the cause. They were Immediately surrounded by unned Moors, who bound and maltreated them. Varley resisted and was struck ok the head with the butt of a rifie, and a knife was alashed across his hands, muking a serious wound. At first It was thought Varley's skull had been fractured. Penllcarls and Vnriey were then carried awny on horseback. They wore bound with rojK-s. and ruundaliout roads were taken In order to avoid villages. . The iMindits stopped at Tnarradent. twenty-four hours from Tangier, and Uaisull allowed I’rrdicsris to write to his wife next morning and also to the shereef of Wftxan asking them to intervene for himself and Varley. At Tsarradent thn cap^yaa lived In a filthy hut. They weff not allowed to go a hundred yard* away from It and were’ strongly guarded. When the shereef of Wazan arrived a big tent waa placed at tbe disposal of tbe.prisoners, and in other ways the slicreef was the means of considerably alleviating tbClr condition. The attitude of the Moors changed from insult to fair treatment. Kalsult's father. Perdienris said, left him much property and cittle, which aroused the animosity of the Raids, who Induced the ba*d.a\v by presents to rob Kaiaull of his belongings and finally to Imprison him -for four yeses at Mogador. On hi* release Balsull interviewed Mohammed el Torres, representative of tbe sultan at Tangier, concerning tbe restitution of hla property. no, this being without avail Balauli' swore to take the law Into bis own hands, with tbe results already known. Kaiaull said that be bore no ill will to Europeans, bnt stated that the only way to bring tbe Moorish government to Its senses was by capturing Europeans until tbe foreign powers awaken to a realization of the. existing condlona. Mr. Perdicaris said that Balauli la posing as s patriot, who wants to aee tbe country happy and peaceful and he la offering to accept the responsibility for maintaining tbe country from Tangier to Ues and glear It of robbery anA alma if be la backed up by the era.
