FIRST OFFICERS.
The Potomac association of naval veterans, o
branch of the national association, was organized
last night at Temperance hall on Al street and
Pennsylvania avenue. by Secretary William
Simmons, of the central body. Mr.. Simmons
said in his speech that the Grand Army had
hitherto crowded out the men who fought land
fought well as any on water-the naval vet
erans-and he thought il about time for
the old tars to come TO the front and look after
their own interests. After some discussion as
TO the work which could be done a permanent
organization was effected with the following
officers: Commander, Isaac Newton; executive
officer, William Wilson; secretary, ]. F. Hen

Saved by the Photograph.
From the Atlanta American,


In London recently a well-known artist OF
the camera was called in to photograph the
body Of young lady who had just died under
peculiar and distressing circumstances. The
body was laid on a sofa in the drawing-room
and presented singularly beautiful spectacle.
The photographer was left alone in the room
with the body and took negative. After in.
speeding it he was not satisfied that the expos
ure had been sufficient and he took another
And then, to his amazement, he discovered tina,
the two negatives were not alike. The BODY
must have moved. Not having lost all his nerve
by this extraordinary occurrence he took a
third negative, which was exactly like the sec.
ond. He instantly summoned the nurse who
had been in attendance on the deceased Cir
and after some difficulty and delay had the
doctor fetched. To cut long story short, the
young lady was not dead at all. This is true
story.

The Centennial Ball a Failure.

From the New York Graphic
The committee in charge of the centennial
ball have made certain concessions to 'skickers I"
bywhich the ball is certain to be failure socially,
whatever it may be as a ''crush" and liam. "
The granting of tickets to the state officers and
the legislature, members to be unaccompanied
by their wives, and to the board Of aldermen,
with their wives, is a curious change Of the
program, which originally contemplated the
recognition only of the bluest of blue blood
and the toniest of the 400 tone. The first turns
the ball into stag party" and the second
takes it down to the level of Pat Diver, Fatty
Walsh, Paradise Park, and the Bowery.
All this has come about from two causes. In
the first place the committee set its mark too
high. There was no sympathy with their ultra
aristocratic plan. and ridicule sarcasm, and in
vective soon broke it down. Having started in
as extremists, when their program was disar-
ranged they rushed to the other extreme, in
stead of maintaining the conservative golden
mean which would have met general favor, and
20 which objections could not have been made
from either extreme.
As one result of this disastrous management
the famous cotillion has been given up. The
ladies who were selected for il with 30 much la
borious consideration Of ancestry and personal
charms refused to make an exhibition" Of
themselves for the ''rabble." This settles the
social status of the ball. The four hundred
NAV go and look on for a few minutes but it
will be as a matter Of curiosity, and the floor
will be given over to the '-hoi polloi" as much
as on nights when the French or Arion balls are
in progress.

necessary to use both buildings,
let the schools be both controlled
by the same authority. By this
means there will be 4 greater uni

The Cost OF the Judiciary.

Our contemporary, the journal
contained an article In its last is
sue on the Appeal Court and cos
of the judiciary III this state. W.
agree with the Journal that
the Judiciary is entirely toe
expensive. 1t costs more by
far to maintain this branch of oul
government than any other in pro,
portion to the amount OF work
done. The policy Of our govern
mcnt now is to reduce it Ia the
most economic basis possible, pro-
yidcd no department IS made to
suffer for the want Of means and
power to MAINTAIN il. The next
legislature will take some action
towards revising and reducing the
expenses Of the Judiciary, which
Will, as q matter Of course, de-
crease the burden of taxation.
Nothing was done by the last ses-
sion of legislature, for the reason,
that such changes and revisions
as are necessary, could not 60 into
effect until the term of the pres
ent office holder expires. Our
idea is to re-district the state
and decrease the number of Judges
and district attorneys. Take the
parish of Caddo for example, it
has two judges and yet district
court is not in session more than
one half Of the time. One Judge
is ample for that parish. The
parish of Morehouse also consti-
tutes a judicial district Of itself
and has one Judge whose duty it
is to preside over the courts of
Ihat parish only, yet we arc told |
that there is but very little if any
more litigation in that parish,
han in Claiborne.
In 80 far as this district is con-
,crned we doubt whether it would
De wise to enlarge it or not. Judge
3arksda!e now presides over three |
srge parishes and he is ho lding
'ourt in some one of them most
III the time. II every district IN
he state was arranged SO as tho
udgc and district attorney would
'e as busy as they are in the 3rd,
he expenses of this department of
ur state government would be
considerably reduced.
In reference to the Cosrt Of Ap-
eals we are inclined to think that
