JUSTICE SHIRAS SWORN In.
Notable Scene in the Supreme Court at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 10.-Many
friends of the new justice Of the Cnlted
States supreme court, George Shiras, Jr.,
Of fittsburg, were present this morning
when court assembled for its October
term, to witness his induction into
office. AS soon as the court crier had
formally opened the court, Chief JUS
tice Fuller addressing himself to the
members of the bar present said.
1t gives me pleasure to announce to the
members of the bar that, since the adj
iournment of the court, the existing va
cancy las been filled by the appointment
of George Shlras, OF Pennsylvania: Mr..
Shiras is present and prepared to take the
oath.
By direction of the Chief Justice, Mr..
McKenny, clerk of the court, then read
the commission and administered the
oath OF office. The judicial oath had
been written in manuscript and the
new Justice read therefrom in a
low, but clear voice. He then closed
the Bible rendered him by Mr..
Mr.. Mckinney, and was escorted to his
chair On the end of the bench to the
left of Justice Brewer, the members of
the court rising to welcome. He made
an fashioned, rather low, bow to his
new associates, and then took his seat
on the bench, Justice Brewer greeting
him with shake of the hand.
Tomorrow motions will be entered
and the hearing of argument in the Chi
cago lake front cases begun. These
cases were set for argument October II
but, by agreement of counsel. argument
IN them will begin Tomorrow in order
that Justice Harlan, who will be away
part of the term on duty as one OF
the Behring Sea arbitratoIs, may
take part IN the argument and
decision. Chief Justice Fuller
and Justice Blatchford will not take
part in the hearing on the cases because
of personal interest in their decision,
and this makes it desirable that Justice
Harlan shall be present. S. S. Gregory
and Mr.. Miller are here to represent
the city of Chicago; Mir. Jewett, the
Illinois Central Railroad, and Attorney
General Hunt the state of Illinois.
The United States will possibly be re-
presented by SclicitorGeneralA ldrich
The new robe worn by Justice Shiras
to-day was of unusually fine silk, and
was presented to him by the ladies Of
Allegheny County. Pa.

GLOOM AMONG FARMERS.
The Present Year Disastrous One for
HusbAndmen,

LONDON, Oct. lo.-In commenting up
on q special count of the condition of
British crops as published in its col
umns, the Times says:
The conclusion on the whole case is that
the present year Will be a disastrous one
for the British farmer. The chief loss
will be in wheat, while there will be no
adequate set-otf III any other crop. The
outlook Tor the winter is gloomy for all
classes, and 1t becomes grave question
how many farmers VIII be able to struggle
through it.
Considering the continued shrinkage
of wheat cultivation, the Times advises
farmers to turn their attention to high
class dairy products.

Only IN one way. They are brought there

Another Of the bottied-milk dealers told
HE CALL man that his firm sent a wagon
around every month to make a tour OF the

And every month we collect from two to
four wagon-iOads of our own bottles.
I'VE have about 5000 customers to SUNNY
each morning, aud our drivers are held re-
sponslbie Tor every bottle that is not re-
turned. This system makes the drivers
very careful, and unless the bottles arc
stolen from the door, in which case. Of
course. the driver is not responsible. the
percentage OF loss Is very light
Once In while customer breaks n bot

This Differing is not only source of
considerable loss to us in direct way, but
a great annoyance to our customers. They
are put TO all sorts of schemes 10 prevent
the loss Of their milk.
1.-THE drivers are shown secret reeesses
and cubby holes in which 10 hide the bot
ties, and often, to secure themselves against
loss. the driver is compelled 10 mount two
or three flights OF stairs in order to leave
the milk IN some secret and safe place.

Coming in all the time"
Yesterday morning." said one of the
drivers for the San Mateo Dairy Company,
Il was followed over my entire route by a
lobbeT's wagon, and in the afternoon when
l stopped at some of my morning customers
L found they had received no milk that
morning. L gave out 20 quart bottles and
three plnts of cream to replace those stolen.
ana then had only visited a very few Of my
morning customers. such as / met While
serving the afternoon trade"
Another driver reported seven bottles
stolen in three blocks which he had served
after daylight.
This state Of affairs is worse Just at pres
enl In the Mission than elsewhere, but milk
men say that things are little better all over
the city.
You would think" said one dairyman.
That The thieves were not as plentiful in
the Western Addition as in Tar Flat. but
ordinarily there's no difference at all.
South San Francisco or the North Beach,
it's all the same.
Just at present, you know, the Mission
is enjoying little more thieving and gar
roting than other sections, and our losses
are now little heavier in this locality than
elsewhere"
There are over go milk-deaers in the
city, and the lobbers among them outnum-
Der the dalTymen ten to one. MANY of the
jobbers are honest, reliable milkmen, who
scOrn the patry measures adopted by their
thieving brothers. but they are not getting
rich as fast as the others.
The big dealers, especially those who
serve their milk in bottles. are thoroughly
indignant over the matter, and TO some ex-
tent are aroused to such a pitch that some
concerted action looking to the sauelehing
OF these thieving jobberS may occur in the
near future.
