To an inquiry as to whether he had "quit the navy for law", Mr. McGow an replied: "In consequence of a re cent over-friendly publication In the Philadelphia inquirer which tho Ad vertiser was kind enough to reprint, that same question has boon asked my by quite a few people. The story was founded on fact. There was a fight between two privates of marines. One of the combatants subsequently died, tiic other being placed on trial for man-slaughter. The outcome of the court martial has not yet been official ly promulgated, hui I have heard an unconfirmed rumor to the effect that ho was acquitted?-this notwithstand ing the fact that I was his counsel. I am still In the navy, though." OPENING D.W. Tcnplnnct Alley has Successful Open* lllg Dil] for (he Ladies.
