8 TOASTED RETIRING JUDGES. Members of Douglas Oounty's Bar Remem- ber Judges Wakeley and Estelle, SPEECHES AND SERVICE OF SILVER. Tokens of the ¥ ieh the Judges Were Held—Welcomed Back to the Bar—Re Reciplents, ses of the For yoars the large court room in the court house hias been the scone of legal gatherings. Times without number the walls have ro- ©echoed the words of learno judges aud law- yers, There the logal warriors have urossed swords whilo tho lives and property of clients hung in the balance, but nover in the history of the Douglas county courts did the atiorneys hold a more l:zportant and pleasant meeting than yestorday. The occasion was the retiring of Judges Wakeloy and Estello to private life, The hands of the court house clock plodded lazily along until the hour of 10:39 had been reached. Three hundred members of the bar patiently awaited the arrival of the members of the bensh, At that hour Judges Waleloy, Doano, Hopewell, Davis, Ferguson, Irvine, and Istolle arrived and at onco tool up their positions on the bench, Judge Wakeloy sat in the center and mod ding to Deputy Lou Greve, instructed him to court. 'k Moores read the journal, after which Judge Wakeloy remarked that the judges had met, not for the transaction of business, but at the request of the bar. Concealed n Big Oak Box, Before the arrival of the juages, a large oak box, highly polished and bound' 1 brass bad been brought into the room and depos- ited on tho attorney’s table, whero it was piled high with overcoats, hats and caps. Stepping in frontof this Judge Ambvrose snid that the bar had been called togethor o pass its judgment. T'he judgment, he said, would bo passed beforo the court was allowe: to pass its judgment, **for,” said he, *4f that course is not pursued, wo may not have a chunee to speak.” He said the occasion was no funeral, und all that he asked was that Attornoy Baldwin be not aliowed to speak. Somo people thought the time to say ood thinks about men was after they were dead, but he would rather say good things of live men than to scatter Howers on their bior: In behalf of the bar ho read tho follow memoriul and resolutions, which w adopted : Me ial of the Bar, “Hon, Bloazer Wakeley, for nearly nine 5 otie of tho judges of this court, leaves tho y. Prior to assuming his judicial dutles he enjoyed tho high distinction of standing at tho head of his profession in this state, his advice being sought by many and varied interests, to which he gavo the most assidious atiention and high legal learning. Upon the bonch ho has displayed tho same quali As an {ndustrious worker he has not been survassed by any of his successor: or prodecessors. He has always been earnest in the discharge of his duties, faithful to tho high trust imposed n him. “Witn a life of surpassing purity and up- rightress Judgo Wakeley has brought in the dischargo of his duties upon the bench the Bame indispensible requisites. His udvice has always been sought upon complicated questions by his associates and his judgment vy the profession respected. No taint has at tached to his name in the administrati of the affairs of his offic 5 unfair deal- ngs in whatever form they huve been brought before him but what have reccived re- buke. No fraud, no watier under what guise it 'has been presented, bas gone unkennelied. He has fully exemplified tho eloguent words of Bishop Horne, When ho goeth up to the judgment seay 1o put on righteousness as a glorious and beautiful robe, and to render his tribunal a fit emblem of that oternal throne of which justice and judgment aro the habitation. W bid him good-byo with regret, but joice that he will still practico his profession and we doubt not but that ho will ba ablo to bear defeat in sharply contested causes with younger men of tho profession, and as in olden days adopt the only two modes of d sent from the judgment of the court—go 1uto the corridor of the court house and exvress it to the unresponsivo walls oc tako s ap- peal, “Itesolved. That this memorial be spread upon the records of this court and an en- grossed copy be transmitted to Judge Wakeley.” T od a Silver Service, As s00n as the resolutions wero adoptod Judge Ambrose threw aside tho pile of over- coats and disp'ayed the box avove referred to. Ho took from his pocket a tiny key, turned back tho bolts of steol and upan rais: ing the cover, upon which was fastened a burnished plate of brass, engraved : WAKELEY, 2 Presented Jan. 6, 1802, By the Bar of Douglus County. 5 i« The openiug of the box disclosed a beauti- ful solid silverservice of fifty-six pieces, each having engraved upon it in- old I3nghsh the Totter *W.” This box and tray,” said Judge Ambrose, “contains a solid silver service, It repre- sents fn part the estimation in which you, Judge Wakeley, are_esteemed by tho mem- bors of this bar. This soup ladio, and you know what 1t is for, we desire you to appre- ciato. When your estoemed wife dips out tho succulent food for you, we hope that you will not forget that wo bave often been placed in the consommo oursclves. We de- sire you 10 take home this token of remem. branco and cherish it as an appreciatian of the high esteom i which you are held by the lawyers of Omaha,” Remembered Judge Estello Also, Then turning to Judge Estelle, Judee Am- brose said, as bis hand went into the recesses of an inner pocket, “Iho pleasant duty de- volvesupon e of presenting you with a token of remembrance. Your term upon the benuch has not been %o long s that of Judge Walkeley, but you have endeared yourself to the bar of Dotiglas county, and in’ presenting to you this stud, containing @ pieco of ‘puro carbon,” a stone of = the first water, wo can . only say that wo havo found you as pure us the stone it- self and most simcerely bopo that your fu- ture life may be as brilliant us the stone that L now hand you." Respon f the Judges, Judge Wakeley, in responding to the pre- sentation, sald ; *'Gontlemen of the bar: For this exoression of your kinduess and gooa will towards me, [ return you my heartfelt acknowleagments, This manifestation of your unabated confi- denco in my uprightness ond my worthiness in the judicial ofice is, indeed, gratoful to me. And this generous gift—ihe token of your rogard—is as welcome as it is unexpect- d. - It1s, I perceive, of no incousiderable valuo; but tome and mne it will always aave & valuo far beyond its money worth. 1t will bo and remain among my cholcest house- n0ld treasures, for myselr, and my childron aftor me, and it wiil over be u memento of my long aud pleasant associations with you, ooth as a lawyer and a judge, = 1t is now approachini nine years sinco 1 £ame to this beuch which 1 now leave, 1 ramo to iv by the invitation of the bar of this rounty and “of this district—an invitation enovally aud wholly unopposed, In what egree I may have met its fair expectations, or by how fur I may haye failed to do 50, you have been the daily and the constant wi nesses A3 all know, those havo beer. years of un- remitting judicial labor. But the judge who has performed his part of it knows better than you can know with what senso of re. sponsibility, and what oppresive burden of doubt and” perplexity bis work has been ‘When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, When she was & Child, she cried for Castoria, When she becaine Miss, she clung to Castoria, Whea she had Children, she gave them Castoria, I many times attended. Yot with all this 1t has been to me In A l4rge measure a congen- | il work—a part of the legal sarvice to which my lifo has boen dovoted. And through ali | these years I have felt the sustaining and buoyant influence, which came from the as- surance in many way the confidence of the bar, and the reliance of tho peoplo that | was endeavoring to aamin- | 1ster justico among them with integrity of | purpose, and with whatever of ability I possessec, Without this assurance, and this | belef, T can say, with absolute sincerity, I day_in this place, . “Yet no one of you, no party, no litigant, can tiave been more conscious of my imper- fections, than I have been conscious how far short [ have come of realizing my own ideal of what a judge of this court should be. [ have endeavored with steadfast purpose to walk straightforward in the path of judicial duty and rectitude. Yet 1 have keenly felt, at times, that my steps were uncertain and the path was obscured, I havo had a clear mental vision of a just, up- right, learned, competent judze presiding in this ‘tribunal’ with dignity, courtesy and amenity, yot wi b undeviating rigidnoss, im- partiality” and justice, but when I have sought to place this picture npon the canvas my hands have beon unequal to the exocu- tion, Yot I have done tho work as it was given me to do, with whatever of judgment and conscientiousness Icould bring to it—and it is finished, Now, gentlomen of the,bar,let me with as | tittle of formality as may be, go from this place, and tako my old position with you, and among you, whother or not for active service, fortune must decide, Lf it should bo that I bave not yet fully paid the deot which the lawyer owes to his profession, and that there may be legal blows to exchange be- tween some of us, let them oe fair and manly vlows—honorably given in the servico wo may reprosent, “After all,what matters it on which side of the beneh the lawyer may do his work. So long as human learning sball be deticient; and human judgment shall bo_fallible, wmis- takes will be made on this side of it and on that. 1f civic honors be the teat, never for got that the lawyer who by native gift, cr by uncomuarable purpose 1n a worthy struggle, shall find himseli amongst the foremost of his profossion—that luwyer will hold a di- ploma of honor whici the world will recog- nize, and he will need no_executive parch ment, 1o cortificate of election as his croden- tials to public favor and confidence. With this day's secvice I shall most will- incly surrender to otnecs the burdens and tho responsibilities of this pluce, trusting that [ have done nothing to dishonor it, or to im- pair tho respect which is due to it—and hop- ing that my brethren of the bench, who goon witt the work which I now lay down, may always have your respect, your confidenco and your utmost nid." Judge Esfelle, in a brief spoech accepting the token of respect, said that he and his a: sociate had noard the judgment pronounced upon them by the bar, and in stepping down irom the position he occupied coutd say but a word. During his career upon the bench ho had tried to do right and deal out even handed justico to all men The token he regarded as an exprossion of the kindly teeling had for him as a momber of the bar, mora than an estimate of his services upon the bench. Welcomed Back to the Bar, x-Judge Clarkson, upon whom devolvea duty of welcoming tne two retliring judges bick 1o the bar, spoke as foliow, “Being somewhat of an_amphibian, if the beneh can be likened unto unstable wator and the bar to good, solid land, upon me has fallon, at the urgent solicitation of the entire bar, with perhaps 350 insieniticant exceptions, the delicate task of welcoming to terra firma the two gentlemen about to emerge from the former fickle eloment. The poise to be maiutained must bo perfect. It won't do, for reasous perhups not inscrutavle, to offend the bonch, wnd it wow't do not i give those rotiring ar_adequate idea of tho good things to waich they are coming. T'ho oung fellow who becamo cross-ayed by en- deavoring to look love at two girls at the ame time was in o position unembarrassing compared wich mine. Saying nothing of t has been the lovand itsood fulfillment, b of these gentlemen, and desiring to strip from them, if it has been donned, any garment of SorrowW or regrot, it is our ploas- ure, speaking in behalf of the bar to lay before them tho spleadid chances of the future, and to make tho descriotion so tan- talizing both to the prosent occupants of the beneh, and to thoss who are on the eve of leaving gaps in our ranks,as can be ventured with impunity. “If I may be pardoned, tho balance of the s will be directed to Judges Wakeloy stello, ou, gentlemen, instead of rendering decisious to the certain astonishment of some and wonder of others at tho mental aborration displayed, will have the glad satistaction of being able to direct and instruct the judicial mina, and of hearing decisions in fuil nccora with' your views as expounded in the heat of a triul or evolved in_the calm seclusion of a business burdened oftice. Instead of having to listen 10 thump, thump on tho desk of the em phatic fist and the ding dong of tho guttural or the shriek of the strident voice urging the reception of 1ideas and law known to the judge in his infancy or ridiculous in their at- tenuation, to you will be vouchsafed the pro- mulgation of really able arguments and of thumping in a rhythmic, forceful, convineing way. Instead = of conflicting with hallucinations of the supreme court, you will bend your energies to creating them, Instead of having but one place in which to do your work, there will be at your command choice of any four or five places out of fifty, all equally demauding at- tention, and you will be delignted at how readily will be acquired the power of per- sona! dispersion. “Fearing lest contrast may vidious, let it end.

He spoke feelingly upon the retivement of Jndges Wakeley and Estelle, In referring to rank 1. Moores, clerk of the court, he said that he had come in contact with that gen- man and forcibly realized that thero was n {ole in the pottom of the sea,” He was glad to welcome Judge Wakeley as a member of the bar, and thought that bis vipe yoars of learning and expericnco would be of great value to the younger mem bers, When the gentlemen returned he could assure them that warm hearts were waiting to welcome them.

L. Brown has filled the position of cashier in this city for the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance company, but Mr. Brown is in jail today and an expert from Chicago is poring over the books of the company tosee just how much of a financial difference there is between the company and its ex-employe, and Brown's bondsmen are between $1,000 and 81,560 poorer than they would have been if the chango had occurred a few woeks ago, Brown was bonded by the Fidelity Casualty company of New York for 2,500, and when the shortage was discovered that cor cern throurh its Omaha_representatives, H. 1. Palmer & Son, startod a corps of ambi- tlous detectives on the trail of the missing cashier, and they unearthed nim yestorday afternoon. Brown’s peculations were not discovered until two or three aays ago, as the money has all been taken within the past month, It was learned a short time ago that ho had invested somo money in a laundry in the city and was spouding considerable cash, aud the eastern officials were apprised of tho fact. Mr. Isane B. Snow of Springtield, Mass., the compuny’s superintondent of agencies, who wasinthe west on one of his periodical trips, was notified to come hera At once and investigate the matter. Soou after reaching hero he sent to Chicago for un expert to look over tho books, and that gentleman began his work Tuesday. Brown suw that he was suspected and disappeared. ‘The guaranty company will, of course, ba held for the amount of the shortage, and the prosecution of the cashier will be at’ the in- stance of the company that bonded him, Tho ex-cashier notified the compary yesterday that was using ove endeavor to raiso the money to mrke good tho shortage, and s relatives will be here from St. Louis to do what thoy ean for him, ‘The method employed by Brown to cover up his stealines was to falsify his books by chiarging up the amounts as money advanced to outside agents.

The Board of Public Works and tho Board of Education narrowly escaped naving a clash and collision of authority yesterday over the right to build a sidewalk between Haruney and Farnam streets, Tho school aistrict formerly owned the groundimmediately west of the Faroam school which should become Twenty-ninth or Park avenue between Harney and Farnam streets, “The Board of Education sold this ground to the city for street purpuses, but the city uevor pmd for it. Last summer when tho city council decided to close Twenty-ninth iser street on the cast of the Fuarnan school and sell tho ground, tho Board of Iduca- tion proposed ' to make an e chango of ground, by releasing the city from the payment of the purchase prico of the lot on the west of the building if the city would deed the lot on the east of the school building to the school district. This the city couneil refused to do. The Board of Education then fenced up the lot on_the west of the Farnam school and shut off the street trafiic thore between Har- ney ana Farnam. Thero has been a great deal of complaint on the part of parents who had to send their chilaren to tho Far- nam school from points south of Harney on Park avenue because they were obliged to waao through a muddy street from Harnoy to I’aroam with not even the semblance of & sidewalk. A few days ago tho Board of Public Works ordered the sidowalk inspector to lay a walk along tho east sido of Park avenue from Harncy to Farnam. This would, of course, necessitate the puliing down of the board feuce built by the Board of Education around the It west of the Farnam school. As the workmen approached the lot owned by the Board of Education, Attorney McCoy, om- ployed by the boird, mada preparation to bave an injunction istued restraining the Bourd of Pablic Worlks from cutting through ‘tho fenco or building a sidewalk upon the ground owned by the Board of Kducation. A compromise between the Board of Public Works and tho Board of Education was finally ugreed to, however, by Attornoy Me- Coy agreeing to recommend to the bovrd tho buildiig of & temporary _sidewalk across tho lotand turning styles at oither side where the walk will intersect the fence, Mr. Birkhauser agreed to ouila tho side- walis only to the fence put up by the Board of Educition with the aoove understanding. The matter will bo discussed at the meoting of the Board of Education tonight. e Small in_size, great_1n rosults; DoWitt's LittloEarly Kisors.
