mis- vile and son. on an extended European tour. A
large number Of friends ana old associates saw him
on with hearty wishes for bon uovage. The Doc
tors absence will be much felt in the special de-
partment Of the once OF which he had charge.
The warm weather yesterday thinned out very
materially the attendance at the State Courts.
The Brnkey divorce suit was sufficiently attrac-
tive to draw; but in all the other courts there was
q beggarly array Of empty benches. The TACT is
the crowds that seek the courts for shelter
and warmth are now airing themselves in the City
Hall Park. p
The Judges are hurrying up the business Of the
various courts with q despatch that is greatly
prompted by the sudden advent OF the warm
weather. In the United States Courts four Judges
are sitting daily; in the Marine Court five Judges
are sitting, late and early, and like zeal Is MANI
