office, he began the study of law under Albert A. Outerbridge, and was admitted to practice before the Philadelphia bar in 1884; his marked ability as an advocate was soon evident, and led in 1885 to a partnership with Hon. William F. Har- rity, which continued till 1898, and in 1888 brought him the appointment by the Unit- ed States Attorney General of Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; his rapidly- increasing private practice forced him to resign this position in 1892, but in 1896 he received the appointment of United States Attorney for the same district, and held this position for four years, resign- ing July 11, 1900; he was immediately ap- pointed Assistant Attorney General of the United States, which elevated post he retained till April 30, 1903; in 1898 he was the Democratic and Independent candidate for District Attorney of Phila- delphia, but was defeated by P.

the Government. The case against the counterfeiters was also a notable one, and ended in the conviction, not only of the accused, but also of former United States District Attorney Ellery P.

[ Fourth of July oration in Independence Square, and in 1893 the oration on Penn- sylvania Day at the Chicago Exposition; another striking speech was that given at the unveiling of the Statue of Stephen Girard, in Philadelphia.
