ROBES OF BRITISH JUDGES.
The Prevailing Styles OF the Judicial
Grannies.

The rules as to robes worn by British
Judges are transmitted orally, and can
not be found in print. Scarlet is the color
for the Judges sitting in banc on the first
day of the term; also in banc on such
days as appear with red letters on the
calendar. On circuit, at the opening of
the commission, scarlet robes are worn by
both Judges, should two be present. At
ter the commission is opened, the Judge
who sits in the Crown Court and tries
prisoners continues to wear scarlet until
all the prisoners are dealt with. He is
hence termed by criminals 'Ethe red gown
judge" The Judge who tries ntsi prius
cases removes his scarlet, puts on black,
and is called ''the black gown Judge.0
The scarlet robes worn in winter in town
and ON circuit, whether in summer or
winter, are trimmed with ermine, but in
town in summer these robes are trimmed
with grey silk. When on circuit, the
senior or ''red gown Judge" sits in the
Crown Court at the first town on the cir
cult, while the junior Judge takes nisi
prtuS cases; but at the next place "the
red gown Judge" becomes @the black
gown judge" and so they alternate
throughout the circuit. On ordinary
days the Judges sitting in banc wear
dark blue or purple robes, which in win
ter are trimmed with ermine and in sum-
mer with bronze silk.

THE GREAT ELECTRIC SHOW
EdisOn's Monster Dynamo and Many
Other Wonders of the Day.

Other Wonders OF the Day.
Preparations are being vigorously
pushed forward for the approaching
Electrical Exhibition at Thirty-second
street and Lancaster avenue. The build
ing itself is practically complete, and
foundations are now being laid for the
five engines which are to propel the ma
chinery during the exposition. The larg
est of these engines will be 300-horse
power, with a capacity of $50 revolutions
a minute. All of the engines are of the
Porter and Allen patent, and have COM
bined power of about 600 horses. The
magnificent electrical fountain which is
to occupy the centre OF the hall is partial
ly finished. Probably the most interest
ing feature of the exhibition will be the
great Edison thiTty-tOn dynamo machine.
This will be the largest dynamo ever con-
structed and will be sufficient to supply
most of the light for the building if neces-
sary. The foundations for this monster
lighting machine are now be-
ing prepared, and will be
completed ia a few days. Among the
most curious things which will be on eX-
hibitiOn during the exposition will be the
original Morse telegraph instrument,
upon which the first electrical message
ever telegraphed over a wire was sent
from Washington to Baltimore. AS a
comparison to the simple key with which
Prof. Morse sent his first message there
will be placed side by side with it a
snynchTonous multipleX telegraphic ma
chine, by which an operator can send Y
messages at once over one wire. There
will also be an electric chicken Matching
machine. The number of electric curiosi-
ties will be very great.

Passengers Allege that the Crew of the
Vessel were Worse Than the Islanders.
New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE storage
passengers of the wrecked steamer
Amsterdam, some 200 in number, arrived
here this morning by the Fall River
steamer Pilgrim. They We're given a good
meal and sent to Castle Garden. F. Jet
ter, of Lake Ross, Wis, said that he was
among the last to leave the steamer after
she stranded. Constantine Ludwig, one
OF the passengers, he said, presented the
third engineer with a watch Tor saving
his boys life. He had heard complaints
from cabin passengers in regard to having
lost.articles, but be did not see any cases
of thieving or looting. The islanders
treated them well, and shared with them
what they had.
George Mis0n, an English steerage pas
senger, said that after he had gone ashore
he saw a sailor bringing his Mison's
trunk to land. Mison claimed it, but the
sailor said that there was nothing in it
and he wanted it for his clothes. Mison
claimed the trunk and found in it several
articles belonging to him. He took pos
session of them and gave the trunk to the
sailor. The sailors acted badly. They
helped themselves to cigars and wine and
did not seem to care for anybody. They
treated the steerage passengers a great
deal worse than the natives on the island.
Vernon Randall, another English pas
senger, said that he thought that the
Captain was an able seaman, but he had
no command over his men. Randall lost
all his property. Severafother passengers
cOrrObOrated these statements. The
agents OF the Rotterdam line are caring
for the Amsterdam's passengers.
