observer TO see many OF the f8mlllar races
beaming in the capital and pleasant "third
house, memories are awakened by the
music of the "saids" and s'aforesaids.''
The judges have all arrived and, clothed
in their spotless ermine, with diamond
stud attachment, are operating the mills
of judicial gods, which grind exceeding
fine. Lawyers are moving about with
deep thought furr0ws playing about their
brows and pondrous briefs protruding
from their pockets, wondering how they
best may find the favor of the court.
The most conspicuous figure is that of
the distinguished chief justice, Bartlett
Trip, whose Roman stride and facial
dignity stamp him as the typical justice
that he IS. Judge Mcconnell, the hand
some jurist from Fargo, the Adonis of the
bench, loses none of his social qualities
and entertaining powers by the stern asso-
Citations of his calling and is here with all
his winning ways and a record hard to
beat. Judge Palmer, the tall New Eng
lander, has been in the city several days
and few who see his calm demeanor sus-
pect that the congressional bee doth buz
wlIhlu Ills pollHet, hoi IlaC tlie Calm repose
Of his ,Well,poised thinker" is disturbed
by political storms. In fact, it begins to
look as though the congressional boom is
the invention of friends who little know
how smoothly moves the judges bark

These are the judges who remained in
the city during the Sabbath. Yesterday
the pelated train brought Judge Thomas OF
Deadwood, the happy kentuckian, who
adds to the stern frigidity of the
north, the sunny joviality of the
south and the warmth of the
land OF the magnolia. The same train

the list and introduced that accomplished
