A NEW RULE OF COURT. No Papers to be Taken From the Files Except by Auditors or Examiners. The following a1 ment to the rules of the Court in General Term has been adopted: “The clerk shall not hereafter allow any original papers in any cause, at law or equity, to be taken out of his custody, except by thi suditor or by an examiner of thecourt. He may deliver such papers to the auditor when the cause has been referred to him by the court for a report or account. When an examiner has been required to take testimony ina cause the clerk may deliver to him, upon application, such papers filed therein as are required for use in taking such testimony. A receipt shall in all cases be taken by the clerk in a book kept for the purpose, enumerating or sufficiently de- scribing the papers so delivered by him to the auditor or examiner, and such papers shall be returned to the clerk with all convenient speed. In no case shail the auditor or examiner allow any papers so delivered to him by the clerk or that may be filed before him as evidence dur- ing the examination to be taken out of his office by any person, nor to be examined by tin the office of such auditor or ner. An order bas also been passed directing the clerk to forthwith take measures to secure the return of papers belonging to the the hands of attorneys other than th and examiners, In carrying out this rule much additional Inbor will be entailed upon the clerk's office, the business of which at the present time is sufficient to keep the force fully occupied. It will also entail some additional work on at- torneys, and it is proposed for their accommo- dation fo provides room or space in the files room with desks, &c., where the papers may be copied. When once the papers are all in — and the rule in full force it will greatly facilitate business. pace TRYING LIQUOR CASES. Judge Miller Makes Ready to Clear His Docket. The Police Court held s special session yes- terday afternoon for the trial of the many liquor cases that have been pending for some days, and also to dispose of a number of appeal cases that were sent back from the Criminal Court because of the failure of the defendants to pay the @5 docket fee to the clerk of that court. Judge Miller sent out notices to counsel in the cases that they would have to appear and try their cases or give some good reason why they wanted a postponement. In event of s postponement the cases, the court said, would be set peremptorily for trial, as the court was desirous of closing the heavy docket before summer if possible. ‘The first case called was that of James White, whose saloon is at No. 1226 Pennsylvania ave- nue northwest. There were two charges of selling after hours against him. The court heard the evidence of the officers in the case, but as the defendant's counsel, Mr. Closs, would not admit that his client kept licensed place the cases were held open until = license clerk, Mr. Montague, could be sent lor. License Clerk Montague appeared with the books and gave evidence against the defendant. In one case the court imposed a fine of $10, but the evidence in the other was insufficient and that charge was dismissed. THE FRANKLIN CLUB CASE. The case of Matthew Cunningham, president of the Franklin Club, was called. He was charged with keeping an unlicensed bar. The club meets in a room inthe rear of Hurdle’s saloon, on D street near 13th, Hardle’s appli- cation for a license was rejected, and soon after the Commissioners took that action the club was incorporated. The evidence heard was directed to Cunningham, but it failed to estab- lish his responsibility, and the case was dis- missed. Lieut, Amiss says he is going to proceed against all the members of the club as he did against the members of a club formed under similar circumstances two years ago, gis rantn joven SELECTING A RIFLE TEAM. What Inspector Pollard Says of the National Guard Practice. “You may tell the people of Washington that the District jonal Guard will have a rifle team at Creedmoor,” said Maj. Pollard to a Star reporter last night. “There have been times,” he continued, ‘when I was perhaps a little dubious about it, but today’s shooting has convinced me that we have a lot of first- class material.” ‘This was said at the conclusion of an after- noon’s practice that had in it more anti-shoot- ing elements than generally combine to form the meteorological conditions of one day. Practice was commenced at 200 yards shortly after 2 o'clock with a strong southwest wind blowing. Under the influence of this breeze, which was very gusty, the muzzle of a rifle would seem toexpand until the marksman thought it was as wide as an old bell-mouthed blunderbuss. At 300 yards there was a sprin- kling of rain in addition to the wind trouble, but the good character of the work done did not depreciate. About sixty men started in at 200 yards, but a number of them were disqualified from work at 300 yards by failure to make 50 per cent of the highest possible. At 300 yards many more fell victims to uncertainty of aim. Primary selection bas now been concluded and Maj. Pollard will select his team from those who have already qualified. oo CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS. The Opening Session of the National Conference in Baltimore. The opening session of the National Confer- ence of Charities and Corrections last evening in Baltimore was largely attended. Addresses of welcome were made by Mayor Davidson and Mr. Chas. J. Bonaparte, and the president of the conference, Mr. Byers, responded, and in the course of his, remarks “The object of this conference is to ask questions and ob- tain information respecting benevolent, char- itable, penal aud reformatory work, their aims and methods of work, how far they have suc- ceeded, how far they come short of the ideals they aimed at, and the reason for this want of success. No compensation is derived from the conference service, and no motive can be assigned for its existence beyond philanthropic desire to help humanity.” Letters of regret were read from ex-Presi- dent Cleveland, Mr. Carroll D. Wright, the commissioner of labor, and others. Judge MacArtbur, Alexander Graham Bell, Dr. W. W. Godding and others from this city were present as dele; eee Commencement at Carlisle.

Co-operation of Borrowers to Secure Lower Rates of Interest. ‘Ten per cent a month on small loans is the excessive rate of interest paid by some govern- ment employes and other hard-up individuals. It was stated in Tuz Star a few weeks ago that an organization was contemplated among these money borrowers in order to obtain better ratea, Such an organization has been formed and it is composed mainly of those in the gov- ernment service, The purpose, to use the words of the constitution, “is to protect our members who are compelled to borrow money from time to time and to keep them out of the hands of the 10 cent brokers and to nego- tiate loans for them atthe smallest possible percentage.” It is further provided that “the organization shall consist of not more than 500 members, Members shall not be charged more than 3 per cent a month on any moneys loaned to or borrowed through said organization, and no one shall borrow at any one time more than @150. The presi- dent and secretary shall not approve any mem- ber's note for more than the above-named amount, Any member borrowing money through the organization and failing to honor his note without lawful and legal excuse shall be expelled and the sum of @1 assessed from each member shall go to save any note from being protested.” Arrangements have been made with several private banks to handle the notes of the members of the association.
