Judge Adams Remarks to the Hangers
on in the Superior Court Chambers.
Unon the opening of the Superior Court
Yesterday morning Judge Adams called
the attention of those persons who are IN
the habit Of attending court that the
court and grand jury rooms were recently
placed in the best of order, and he hoped
that they would be kept so; hence he re-
ouested all who were in attendance, and
others who trequented those rooms from
time to time, not to spit upon the floor OF
the rooms or of the lobby, and that he
might not be misunderstood he added
that the request would be enforced,
and any person discovered splitting on
the floors or defacing any OF the Walls
would be punished. The court thereupon
directed the Sheriff and Bailiffs TO arrest
any individual whom they might see as
regarding the mandate of the court. ms
Honor then directed his remarks to the
occupants Of the gallery, and SAID there
could be no reasonable objection 10 any
person having an interest IN any Oh the
proceedings in attending the slttlngs OF
the court: that frequently parties were
influenced TO attend the court because
they or some friend had a case
there. which was probably OF more or
directly interested in the issue before the
court. But it was observed that certain
individuals were in the habit OF taking
seats in the gallery, day after day, and
that some Of them took groundnuts and
luncheon and ate their meals there. After
meals some of these people went to sleep
there. sit is presumed" the Judge went
on to say, "that these people have moth
ing else to do and that they are Yagrants.
The gallery is not intended to be
a lounging place for such persons, nor
will any one be permitted to throw peanut
shells on the floor of the gallery, the rooms
of the court or of the lobby. The SUBJECT
will not be referred to By the court again,
and the Sheriff is directed to arrest any
person who may be found disregardlng
the notice of the court in these partic-
ulars."
Almost Immediately after Judge Adams
concluded his remarks several well-knoWn
gallery lOungers very quietly filed out ana
did not return during the day.

THE NEW ORDER OF THINGS.
How the Keeper of City Clocks Stole a
March on Father Time.

How the Keeper of City Clocks Stole
March on Father Time.
A few minutes before u o'clock, yester-
day, the Keeper of City Clocks and his as
sitants mounted the towers of the city
Exchange and the Independent Presby-
terrain Church, and at the stroke of
noon changed the order Of things and
stole a march of SO minutes on Father
Time. Groups of people gathered on the
sidewalks and crossings, with watches in
hand, and waited the change. As the
clocks struck II the wheels were
stopped and the hands turned back
to 11:24 o'clock. The people in the streets
regulated their watches and moved on.
simultaneously with the change in the
large clocks, the clocks in the city offices
were also turned back, and the new
time was officially in effect. At
the same hour the clocks in
many of the stores, shops and private
offices, which had not already c0nformed
to the standard. were turned back. The
conductors of the street rail-
way lines regulated their watches and
held their cars upon the sidings to
get the new schedule in operation. The
time pieces in the court rooms and coun-
ty offices were set back and the change
was general in the city. Hundreds of
people stopped on the Bay and on
Bull street in front of the Exchange
during the afternoon and set their
watches with the new time. Some little
inconvenience, resulting from a misunder-
standing of how the change would effect
the hours of wOrkingmen and the en-
ployes of large establishments, was oc-
casioned, but this will be temporary.
and in a day or two at the farthest the
new system will be thoroughly under
stood. The change being made at noon,
and the employees stopping work on old
time and beginning after dinner on new
time, was the occasion of some annoy
ance. but this will not occur again, and
in short time the new order of things
will have been accepted and as thorough
" understood as the the old regulation Of

Nelcs: Please allow through your valua-

many of our citizens, especially cOntrac-

be a suitable time to introduce long-felt
want of a more equitable division of the

work five hours before dinner hour, and
then five hours in the afternoon. They
