there was a big crowd present when Judge Bartholomew stepped forward and, in a speech of some length, welcomed Judge Carter to his new position, and thanked the attorneys for their uniform courtesy in his'court. In th© course of his remarks Judge Bartholomew said: *T felt that a change of judges in a court like this, a judge that deals with, arbitrates end disposes of, the most sacred rights of the community, was a circumstance that ought to be recognised, and that the bar ought to be present to welcome the incoming Judge. For that reason I took upon myself to call this meeting, and until I had determined it Judge Carter knew nothing of it. A judge needs, first, courage; second, conscience; third, learning, and I believe that Judge Carter, who succeeds me In this ofllce, pc’"esses all of these qualities. I believe a judge should have no favorites among the bar when upon the bench. They should all be his friends. I have endeavored to administer the office with that standard in my mind.” Addison C. Harris, on behalf of the Bar Association, thanked Judge Bartholomew for his services to the county and the excellent work whtob he bad done while on

People Who Like To Draw Cheeks To Order of DlstififfaUhed People. Near York Sun. * As a Sun reporter was meandering slowly o’er that par^ of the lea contiguous to City Hall Park, he picked up a pocketbook, much to his delight and unexpected luck, but ere he had time to transfer its contents to his inside pocket a policeman appeared on the scene, just as policemen always do when there Is no call for them, and don’t, vice versa. “Ahem?” observed the reporter, also observing the policeman. “Um? y remarked the policeman, also remarking the pocketbook in the willing hands of the reporter. "Well?” observed the reporter. Injecting a kind of a what-are-you-going-to-do-about it tone into the verbiage of his communication with the guardian of the peace. “It belongs to you, I suppose?” said the policeman, insinuatingly. “What?” inquired the reporter with such lamb-like innocence that the wool In the policeman’s coat actually began to curl. “That,’’ and the policeman nodded toward the pocketbook. “Oh. ah, excuse me, I beg your pardon," hastily responded the reporter. ”1 was :hinklng about something else.” “Found another one?” suggested the policeman with pleasant insonciance. “No, of course not. However, since you have asked if this belongs to me. I’ll take a look through it and see.” And the reporter opened up his find. A carefal examination, made with the insistent assistance of the policeman, revealed only a card and a bit of unchewed chewing gum, and these the reporter turned over to the guardian for safekeeping. *T made a queer find the other day,” said the policeman, as the reporter

paused to inquire about the general moral tone of the city in that neighborhood during the past twelve hours. "It wasn’t a pocketbook, but It was the next thing

to it—”

“Money?” Inquired the reporter, who thought money ought to be the next thing to a pocketbook, though he didn’t remember to have had any personal knowledge of such things. “Next thlnf to that,” continued the po- | liceman. "It was a bank book which the ! owner had dropped jhst after having it made up at the bank, for the book had all the checks entered and was balanced, though the canceled checks were not

there.”

“He had probably sent the canceled checks In to have the coupons cut off,” suggested the reporter. The Queer Part of It. “The queeripart of It,” proceed the policeman, without noticing what the reporter had said, “was the people who had got the money. The name of the man on the books is a very well-known one and “What It is?” asked the reporter nat-

urally.

“Nay, nay, Pauline Hall.” negatived the policeman. “You. know him better than I do. and I ’don’t want to give him away.” \ ySell him?” hinted the reporter. “That’s all right,” grinned the policeman. "I opened the bank book out of curiosity, and Was surprised to find that he had as much as a hundred dollars to his credit, but more surprising was the list of names on the book of the people who had apparently got money from our friend, for nobody In these parts would ever suspect him of being on terms with that kind of people. For Instance, there was a ojieck for $11.35 (Jald to Tom Watson, another for $8.25 to Arthur Sewall, another for $23.46 to Grover Cleveland, another for $7.89 to Wflliam McKinley, another to Cornelius N. Bliss for $9.45, another to Mayor Strong for $23.79; another to Chauncey M. Depew f*r $3.23, another to Levi P. Morton for $1.79, another to Satolli for $3.54, another to Dr. Parkhurst for $12.34, another to Mark Hanna for an even $10, another to Teddyodore”—and the policeman dodged—"Roosevelt (tor $7, another to Maggie Cline for $13, another to .” Here the policeman shut up his notebook, from which he had been quoting. “Well, they, were to almost every leading citizen of the United States, Including W. Jennings Bryan, and Ii’ Couldn’t understand It. T knew it wasn’t a fake because the book was all regular, and I knew pretty nearly as surely that those people hadn’t been getting small amount^ of money like that ffom that chap. I was going to hand It over to him and ask him about it, but I thought he would lie to me anyhow, so I went to the bank and called out one of the clerks I had had some dealings with, and I asked him whet it stood for. He gave me a tiny bit of haw-haw; not much, but enough, and told me the world was full of cranks, and this fellow was several of them, with a leading fad to make his personal checks out to the name of some distinguished citizen or. other, or bearer, and draw the money himself. It was a harmless kind of a case, the clerk said, and as long as he didn’t make a check out for something that he didn’t have In the bank, it wasn’t doing any harm tr anybody. Then I handed over the book to hin),” concluded the pollcen^an, “and went out wondering what the next would be,” and so did the reporter.* Half an hour later the reporter met a bank clerk of his acquaintance. “Say,” the clerk said, “do you want a queen bit of stuff for your paper?” That’s the kind the-reporter was looking for, and he nodded affirmatively. “Well,” continued the clerk, "a man came into our bank ^ to-day and had a check cashed for $11,000, made payable to God Almighty or bearer.” Wholeattiue, Anyvy*y. New York Poet. Archdeacon Sinclair, in his “Leaders of Thought, etc.,*’ tells a good story of an Eton head master, known as "Flogging Keate.’’ Finding one wnor.ilng a row of boys in his study, he began, as usual, to flog them. They were too terrified at the awful little man to remonstrate till he had gone half-way down the row, when one pluckad up courage to falter out: “Please sir, we’re not up for punishment— we’re a confirmation class!” “Never mind,” said Dr. Keate; “I must be fair nil around, and it will do you good.” So he finished them off.

Plans are under consideration by E. F. Claypool which, if carried through, will result in gwing Indianapolis one of the most perfect buildings for hotel purposes In the United States. The hotel will be built, If everything goes well, cn the site of th$ present Bates House. The new building, as designed, wiN be ten or twelve stories In hlght,,*rill be fireproof and thoroughly modern throughout, and will contain advantageous features never before introduced in a hotel. It will contain more rooms than the Fifth-avenue Hotel, New York. An Ideal building and a perfect# hoetlery are in the projector’s mind, raere are one or two things Jhat stand in the way of TBs project just at present, and the builder fend architect are not yet ready to give details, but them is no doubt that the building eventually will be erected. Louis Relbold, knbwn throughout the country as the proprietor of the present Bates House, will be the proprietor of the

new hotel.

A Tramp Preve«»Iv*.\ • Tampa (Fla.) Times. Neatly every community in Florida ls preparing for the arrival of the army of tramps that annually invades the commonwealth. and the opinion generally prevails that a liberal amount of labor on the public roads is the beet reception to give it. Last season w*o a very light one, doubtless because of the casual whipping of a few white tratups who refused to work in a turpentine camp to which they had been sentenced. The occurrence transpired. anC~while it caused & good deal of virtuous indignation among well-meaning citizens, it seems aiw to have had the effect of stopping an army of tram pa at the Slate line. Another incident of the same kind early in the season might have had a beneficial effect. Got Herself Into a Sweet Mesa. A young woman of Newton, Mass., lost her footing and fell headlong Into a vat containing sixty gallons of molasses.
