Judge York of the Su- perior Court of this county has given much thought to the subject and has em | bodied his ideas in a bill which will be introduced at the next Legislature. By | his plan the work in the Supreme Court will be specialized, with the result of economizing both time and labor. His plan is the eliminating of Supreme Court Commissioners and making ~department decisions final, which will do away with { the consideration of the same matters by commissioners and justices those specially charged with their con- sideration. In other words, such a mode will prevent the same identical work bein gone over more than once without any compensation. he most important point, too, will be reduction in exj Under the t mode there are seven Justices and five Commissione Each Commisioner recelves the same salary as a Supreme Court_Justice, but under the prop amendments there would be ten Justlces and no Commissioners. With an increas e, | !

ST. PAUL, Nov. 13—This was a quiet day among the W. C. T. U. delegates | so far as convention work was con- cerned. A number of delegates filled | local pulpits, both morning and even- | ing. But one session of the convention | was held, Miss E. W. Greenwood, [ world’s and national superintendent of the evangelistic department, preaching at 2:30 at the People’s Church. The | temple matter and election of officers, | which promises so much excitement | Monday and Tuesday, were kept as | much in the background as possible for | subjects in which all are interested. | | The temple matter is due to come up late Monday afternoon, when Mrs. Ma- tilda B. Case, the founder of the tem: ple, will make her report on it and seek | to overcome the adverse decision of the executive committee on the subject. The polling of delegates continues ac- and everybody is confldent of A y lively contest is promised, the first move probably be- | ing an attempt to secure a secret ballot. | Friends of the temple believe they can | gain most by such a course, because of | the timidity of some of the delegates. The general opinion has been that Mrs. | M. N. Stevens, vice president at large | and acting president, would be unop- posed in her candidacy for the place | | made vacant by the death of Miss | | Frances E. Willard, but several other | | candidates have been announced. Mrs. | Martin H. Dunham of Iowa, one of the temple trustees and now State presi- dent of Towa, is a prominent candidate, and her friends hope for help from the | friends of the temple. Another promi- | nent candidate is Mrs. G. B. Forbes, | State president of Connecticut. | Mrs. Stevenson's resignation leaves | hhe position of corresponding secretary | vacant and a number of prominent workers have been mentioned for the | office. There is little canvassing being | done, and Miss Anna A. Gordon, for- | merly Miss Willard’s confidential friend and secretary, seems to be the most prominent in the field. There seems no reason to doubt that the other of- ficers will be re-elected. The piace of the next meeting has not vet been de- cided upon, but it is probable that it will be Seattl There are a number of Eastern cities that have invited. the convention to meet in the East, but the | general sentiment seems to be in favor o 2 | tively ) THE XAISER'S BIG SOLDIERS | | +The tallest man in his army,” who | accompanied the German Emperor_ in | his visit to the East, is a grenadier | namea Chiemke, who i nearly 6 feet 10 | inches in his stockings. This Frederick William mania of the Kaiser is an old device of his for impressing the for- | eigner. On returning from his first | visit to Constantinople in 189 the Em- peror sent the Sultan a complete set of kettledrums, which he intrusted to | the tallest officer in his army, Lieuten- ant Pleskow, who is very little, if at all, under 7 feet. Once, indeed, when this Prussian guardsman looked over a seven-foot garden wall and asked a girl | picking gooseberries therein what was | the way to so-and-so, the simple maiden told him to ride first to the Hght and then to the left, and he would find the place he wanted. The nymph had honestly fancied that an officer | overpeering her garden wall like that | must necessarily be on horseback. | | London Chronicle. ———————————— ANNOYED BY SILVER. % i | 'The Archbishop of Canterbury is sin- | gular among the roll of English Pri- mates for his hatred of pomp and dec- oration. Once, when the guest of a | country gentleman, he was much an- | noyed by the display of silver candle- | sticks in his room. After his Lordship's | departure these silver candlesticks were nowhere to be seen. The dis- | tressed clergyman at once wrote to the Bishop, as he then was, telling him of | his loss, and adding. “an you tell us what has happened?” The reply came { by wire: ‘“Poor, byt honest; look in | the chest of dgawers.” | This is not the only silver adventure | in which Archbishop Temple has been | concerned, says the London Outlook.

On leaving the host politely expressed the hope that when next his Lordship honored the house Mrs. Temple would accompany him. “No thanks,” the Archbishop laconic- ally replied; “Mrs. Temple doesn't like roughing it.”” The clergyman’s feelings were deeply hurt, for the visit had meant some expense and much anxiety to him. He unburdened his soul to his wife on her return. ‘“Why, my dear,” she exclaimed, “you didn’t surely put the Bishop into the pink bedroom, did you?” He did. “Oh, then, that's it. I put all the plate in the bed!” —————————— VOORHEES' GENEROSITY. The late Senator Voorhees of Indiana was a person to whom a story of want and suffering rarely failed to appeal, and, when so touched, his hand usually went to his pocket. However, his gen- erosity was not infrequently at the ex- pense of his friends—as many stories still told of him go to illustrate, says the Chicago Journal. The Senator and an old friend, Colo- nel W. R. Hunter, who, previous to his death two years ago, was one of Terre Haute's best known citizens, Wwere en- gaged In conversation on a street cor- ner in Terre Haute one day when a thin, {1l dressed man, bearing all the marks of the under side of lifg, ap- proached and called Mr. Voorhees to one side. He then told the Senator a story of hard luck; of his failure to se- cure work, and his physical inability to work if he had it; of a family with nothing to eat, finally winding up with a plea for assistance. A sympathetic look overspread his hearer's face. “Why, of course, my poor man,” the Senator replied, heartily. He reached for his purse, but it was not about him. Then one after another he ran through his pockets, but could not find a cent. ‘““Here, Hunter,” he said, turning to his friend, “give this man $5 for me.” ‘With something approaching a grunt, for he weighed but little less than 300 pounds, Colonel Hunter drew out a well filled wallet and tendered the suppli- cant a $5 bill. The man thanked both Senator Voorheees and Mr. Hunter and hastily stowed the money away in a pocket—which was the last the colonel ever saw or heard of his $5. —— e SEEKING BEATUTY. Caroline Otero, Cleo de Merode and several other famous Paris beauties have disappeared utterly from sight. This is not startling, however, for in France, where beautiful women take themselves seriously and cherish their good looks, it is quite customary for them to seclude themselves occasfonally to repalr the ravages of time, sun and wind. For eight or ten days they are not at home, even to their closest ac- quaintances. The retirement usually occurs after a summer at the seashore and before the winter gayeties begin. Freckles on skins, tan and roughness—all these must be got rid of. Experts in massage and beauty doctors flit in and out of the rooms of madame and there are baths of milk and cologne, coatings of mysterious oils and creams which remain on night and day, and storles are told of strips of skin taken from newly killed animals—hares and rab- bits—and applied still warm to the shoulders and arms of the beauty seek- ers. This treatment is said to give 8 velvety luster and surface and to re- move any disfiguring marks. When this is all over the women emerge with ten years subtracted from their age. the tired lines about the eyes and mouth gone and girlish beauty re- stored. That it is expensive is not de- nied, but when good looks are in ques- tion what woman is going to stop to count the dollars? Probably the little lady of slender purse who faithfully de- votes the kitchen tea kettle to steaming her face, makes her own cold cream and takes care what food passes her lips can accomplish about the same re- sult as the beauties. with unlimited wealth. ———— VANITY FAIR. New York women have risen in their might and downed the fashionable and expensive ladies’ taflors. Recently the employes of these big firms went on a strike and paraded the streets. Several society women who heard their pitiful stories banded together, raised $50,000 and will have a factory of their own, where all the strikers are to have em- ployment, besides an interest in the business. The starters of the enter- prise promise to have all their tailor | gowns made there and the fashionable tailors are aghast. One of the present crazes of Paris is the zebra, recently sent by Emperor Menelik to President Faure and placed | by him in the zoo, which is thronged by sight-seers, who enthuse over the ani- | mal, which is an admirable one of its | species and the second to be imported into Europe. A curious social revolution has been brought about in Paris. Before this the drawing-rooms of the old French fam- ilies were hermetically sealed to for- eigners and social aspirants. Neither money nor beauty nor position sufficed to break the barriers set up by the haughty grand dames of the Fauborg. All this Is changed. Women such as | the Duchess d'Uzes and Duchess de la Rochefoucauld have decided to open their salons to strangers on the pay- ment of a fixed sum, the money to go to charity. Where it was once thought an extraordinary honor to penetrate into these drawing-rooms now that for 75 cents any one can get in, as one can gain admission to a theater, the idea is frowned upon by the high bred foreigners and it is noticed that the wife of the American Embassador, Mrs., Horace Porter, and other leading American women in Paris have sedu- lously shunned the drawing rooms of the duchesses since the practice went into execution. B The nited States court has rendered a decision declaring that the act of the New York Legislature of 1895 to regu- late barbering on Sunday is constitu- | tional. The law makes barbering on | Sunday a misdemeanor, except in the city of New York and the village of Saratoga Springs, where it is lawful on Sunday up to 1 o'clock in the after- noon. “AVOIDED Know; What Every Mate Well; Healthy Children.
