THE NEW RUITs.
The Supreme Courts new rules were dis

rule. which Is that If any attorney files a
brief-that is. sends il TO the clerk to be
fled-lt shall serve the same purpose as If
the attorney were present. Each side IS
allowed on hour and half for arguments
This gives each case three hours if the at
tOTneys speak. Tho court sits three hours

hear ONLY one case daily. Under the new
rule there will he far less argument before

saved.
