Mr.. Eyarts at the Tichborne Trial.

Mr.. Eyarts at the TichbOrne Trial.
Mr.. Evarts had secured three tickets;
after getting to the door he found they
were not right. The police chief had
his "orders from the Judge to take
none but blue tickets" No explana-
tions, efforts or persuasions could move
the policeman, who demanded blue
tickets After several efforts were
made to bring the guardians of the
gates to realize the importance of the
American eagle, saw Evarts' eye fixed
upon wigged barrister, who came out
of the court room and walked along
the street. "That man has a good
face, gentlemanly, amiable and deter
mined" says Evarts. In another
moment he is beside the white
wig. The white wig turns;
he understands the business goes ID,
goes out. consults, argues, pleads, suf-
fars, snubs refusals but, at last the
iron gates fly open, and we file in past

by 10 feet in size, which is packed thick
as a sardine box with white-wigged
lawyers. We are told to make for
little door, where the rush will be pres
emily, when it is opened; but it is
added that only small number of
those who have got that far will be able
to get in. This is discorraging, for we
are on the outer edge of the sardine
box. There is some time to wait here,
and the lawyers pass it in kind of re-
fined chat. There is one large, heavily
bearded barrister who has not wig
He is asked by brother: Glow in the
world did you get in without wig Z"
"Oh, they took me for woman"
"Ah, / see; you look it-smooth, pink,
white" 'sYou might have thought my
moustache and beard would
have betrayed my SEX" respond
ed the other, stroking the halffoot of
bushy hair hanging from his chin;
Sbut tell you, sir, dress and color's

ed ell the witnesses out, made the two
men change the purkers, and when the
witnesses returned each fifty swore just
the opposite to what they had sworn
before They hadn't noticed the men,
only the purkers.'' By the time this
philosopher got through with his nar-
rative the little door opened-there
was a rush, scuf1e, voiceless
but hard-breathing crowd of 40 trying
to pass through d narrow aper-
ture. When about half had got
through, 81 voice from within cries
1.-The court room is absolutely full !"
The guard at the door cries "The
court room is packed! Not another
can go ln!' Then three men dart for
ward wildly, and breaking down the
arms of the police, placed like bars
across, get In. Alas, these three are
not we! The next wigged man that
tries is worsted, hurled b OK the door
is shut; the chief of police stands with
his back against it, trying to recover
