THE MOTION DENIED.
4 Judge Who Was Somewhat 1t . Stick
ler for CleAnllnoss.

a Judge Who Was Somewhat IT . Stick
ler for Cleanliness.
They tell good story about judge
who is well known in Buffalo even if
he does not hold court here, says the
Buffalo Express. Some time ago a
man who is snide lawyer came before
him to make motion. This man lived
in one of the suburban towns, and he
was not particularly scrupulous as re-
CARDS his personal appearance. In.
deed, on the morning on which he
came into court to make his motion
he was dressed in dirty coat. q vest
that was covered with stains from
soup, tobacco and other like drop
pings, and his hands were unclean and
his shoes covered with mud.
He waited until he had an oppor'
tunity to address the judge, and then
made his motion. 1t was merely q
perfunctory sort of an affair, to open
up a case or something of the kind
and not one in thousand is refused
by any judge. Everybody in the court.
room was, therefore, greatly surprised
when the judge thundered out: ''De'
nied!'
The man himself was completely
taken aback. He rose to his feet and
stammered and suffered, and finally
said: "Your honor, hope you have not
mistaken the import of this motion. 1t
is mere formal affair. I fail to see on
what you base your decision"
''Denied" roared the judge again.
'But, your honor" the lawyer went
on, II think you must be laboring un-
der a misapprehension. This is of no
Importance. There isn't a soul on
earth who isn't willing that the motion
should be granted"
"It's denied, tell you," said the
judge again.
"Will your honor kindly state the
grounds on which the denial is made?''
The judge Strengthened up in his
chair, took off his eyeglasses and
looked severely at the lawyer. He ex.
tended his hand and pointed one of his
long fingers at him. 'The motion is
denied for two reasons" he said, i'm.
pressively: "First, you are not regu'
lar member of the bar and entitled to
practice in court Of record; second,
you need bath"

A RARE OLD SILVER DOLLAR.

A Wealthy Collector Becomes Owner OF
the Seventh Known Coin of 1894.
Until recently it was supposed that
there were only six silver dollars of
the 1904 issue in existence. These
were in the hands of rich coin collect
ors or museums, and naturally were
priced very highly. The last time an
1904 dollar was sold at auction it
brought twelve hundred or fifteen
hundred dollars. James w. Ellsworth,
who amuses himself by spending fifty
thousand dollars or more q year in
making additions to his various col
lect;ons, recently came into possession
of q seventh 1904 dollar that has an
interesting history, particularly so. as
its existence was unknown.
A negro in Alexandra, Va, received
the dollar from his dying father, who
had kept it as means OF remembering
the year he became freedman. The
younger negro kept the coin for forty
years, and finally sold it for song to
Julius Driefus, of Alexandria, Va. Mr..
Driefus owed q large sum to Isaac
Rosenthal, of 100 Berks street, Phila-
delphia, which he was not able to pay.
He prevailed upon Mr.. Rosenthal to
take the coin for FIVE hundred dol
lars. Mr. Ellsworth learned of this
transaction from note in one of the
New York papers, and commissioned
superintendent Bosbyshen, OF the Phil
adelphia mint, to buy the coin for him
if its genuineness could be established.
The dollar was rigidly examined by
mint. R. Mcclure, curator, and also by
superintendent Bosbyshell, Jacob B.
Eckfeldt, assayer, and A. Loudon
Snowden, all of whom pronounced the
coin to be genuine. Mr.. Ellsworth
then sent his check for the purchase,
completing his collection of American
silver dollars.

WHAT FAD PARTIES ARE.

Each Guest Must illustrate His Hobby and
Tell About 1t. 81
suppose you have heard about fad
parties, asks the New York Herald.
They are positively the latest dissipa-
ton OF those who like to kill time.
The people who are invited to fad
party are expec cted to bring some OBJ
jeet which represents their pet fad, and
each must talk about that fad, tell the
reason of its existence and everything
of interest about it. l went to fad
party the other evening. There were
eight people -four men and four
women.
1t was droll sight. One man sat
gingerly holding scarfpin, another
brandished Malay kreese, still an
other fourished photograph of a
famous actress, and the fourth, man
toyed with a dainty snuff box.
The first had a mania for collecting
scarfpins, and described some of his
experiences in picking them up. He
had travelled the world over, and many
of his stories were hairlifting.
The next man had q wonderful col
lection of weapons, and his talk upon
them was decidedly entertaining and
. instructive.
Then the youth who has passion for
the famous actress, and who has three
hundred photographs of the lady, spoke
sadly of his hopeless infatuation, and
the man with the snuff box took us
back to the days of powdered heads
and rustling brocades.
The wOmen's fads were quite as in
teresting. One exhibited bit of rare
old china, and described the plates
and teacups which line her drawing :
room. telling many amusing stories OF
dingy little shops.
Another discoursed upon fans, f1ut-
tering meanwhile priceless trifle of
lace and paint and fluff.
The third brought one of her scrap
books, and q treasure house it proved
to be. For years she has been collect
ing pictures of famous people-not pho
tographs, but prints, wood cuts. litho-
graphs and the like.
Perhaps the most amusing fad was
that Of q very clever and s.date young
woman, who sat gravely listening to
these various disclosures, holding
huge japanese doll in her lap.
:'Knowing" said his owner. "Why,
Dihbuutz knows more than the aver
age human. Indeed, l am not alto
gether sure he is not human. Look
at his new kimino. made him a beau
tiful red silk one not long since and
when put it on him he gnashed his
teeth and darted look of rage at me.
He plainly did not like the color.
"Well, not long after. came in
from walk one day and picked him
up from his nest of cushions on the
divan, and what do you think? His
kimino was rent in twain, slit from
top to bottom in the back. You see,
he was determined not to wear any
thing so unbecoming TO his STYLE"

some time ago to the czar. who himself
remarked the extraordinary likeness

peror Of al the RussiA& A. a5rcsult
Carlsben went insane on the subject
and recently died in = lnadhouse IN the
firm faith that he was the car.

IT. WILLIAM LEADS A BAND.
The Kaiser Did Not Like the Way the
March Was Going.

@WEC0 "oo 0Ol08s
A Berlin letter says: There is, Of
course, nothing that Emperor William
cannot do He knows everything, and
can give the most learned a good start
and an easy beating in all branches Of
art, literature, music, soldering, or.
in fact, any other matter that mortal
man knows anything about. The mill
itary band of the Foot guards, which
is about one of the best in Europe,
was playing march in the courtyard
of the Schloss few days ago, but the
time did not suit William. He thought
he knew more about it than the con-
ductor, so he straightway emerged
from the palace, stopped the music
and, taking the baton from the band
masters hand, conducted the piece
himself to his beating. The musicians
were in a state of terror, but he
warmed them up to galop time, and
when he had finished returned the ba-
ton to the conductor with the remark:
Next time you play that march play
it properly. have given you the cor
rect time. Now dismiss the band, go
to the barracks and play nothing else
for a week." This order was religious
ly carried into effect, and for whole
week the guards knew no other melody
but that eccentric march, which no man
could keep step to.
Another matter which has upset
Williams equilibrium is the fact that
the people stare at him in church. He
doesn't like it, and has now ordered
that whenever he attends divine serv
ice all seats of which he can see the
occupants, or from which he can be
seen, shall be filed by soldiers, SO that
he may not be disturbed in his prayers.
The soldiers are compelled to look
straight before them, and any devia-
ton of the head from the "eyes front
is punished by confinement to barracks
and heavy pack drill.
Although he does not initiate his
great-grandfather in criticising SER
mon in the pulpit during the progress
of it's delivery, William nevertheless
follows in his footsteps with regard to
limiting it's length, and shortly after
to the effect that none of the court
chaplains should preach more than ten
minute sermons. The kaiser says by
enforcing this rule he has contributed
in no small degree to the extraordinary
revival of religious sentiment through
out Prussia that has signalized his oc-
cupancy of the throne. Certain it is,
he asserts, that ten-minute sermon is
far more effective and beneficial than
one of twenty, thirty, forty or even
sixty minutes. It forces the preach
ers to be concise and to concentrate all
that is best and strongest of his argu-
mcnt in that brief span instead of
scattering it over a longer period of
time-a process that naturally dimin-
ishes its vigor and its force.

There was singular boom In the
matrimonial market in England last
year, whether because of or despite
the hard times is IN interesting point
for speculation. There were more peo-
pie married there in the third quarter
Of the last year than in any similar
quarter Of the last ten years, with the
exception Of 1891. The marriage rate
was highest In London, where hard
times were generally reported to be
most felt.

Tho Sea otser.

The southern otter is still hunted in
Florida for the sake of his fur, al
though it is inferior in quality to that
of the sea otter of Oregon and Alaska.
So persistent has been the pursuit OF
the sea otter in the far northwest that
the animal has become extremely
scarce. The common otter OF the
south is an expert fisherman, and he is
found only near watercourses or lakes
It is the East Indian otter that has
been taught to drive fish into nets as
an aid to human fishermen.

FAMILY TRADITION COUNTS.
A Dominant Force In the Politics and 81
ciety of Little Delaware.


ciety Of Little Delaware.
No resident of great state can east
ly guess the feeling of local loyalty
and of almost clannish pride common
throughout the commonwealth of Del
aware, says the New York Sun. When
Wilmington is left out of account the
remainder of the state is peopled chief
ly by a rural community, native to the
soil and descended from ancestors
often settled for two centuries within
the bounds of the state. There are
many families still holding lands under
seventeenth century patents, lands
that have descended from father to
son all those years without the passage
of title deeds. It is only few years
since Delawarean about to remove to
the west sold piece of land that his
ancestors had purchased from an In
dian chief as the representative of his
tribe. Long descent in Delaware Is
confined to no self-constituted upper
class. but is the boast Of all sorts OF
people. There are many ancient
churches in Delaware, and probably
every one includes within its congre-
CATION some families descended from
those that took part in organizing the
church. Rural communities through
out the state are curiously immobile.
Surnames are few, and the region from
which man comes is easily guessed
from his name.
Family traditions are jealously treas
ured, and family traits reappear gen.
Grafton after generation. There is a
numerous family in the northern coun-
ty famous from the fact that nearly all
its male members have red heads and
heavy red boards. The character is
said to belong even to distant branches
of the family in the west. Long de-
scent, though SO common, is highly
priced, and even where family has
sunk into disrepute the fact of re-
spectacle ancestry is held to make its
members little better than just every
day newcomers whose conduct is no
worse. Neighbors in Delaware have
tenacious memories, and old family
scandals are whispered about for gen.
erations. An old gentleman of blame
less life and excellent name never
dared to become a candidate for public
office because it was recalled that he
had been born out of wedlock. Gcneal-
ogies are carried in the heads of hum
dreds and old ladies often know the
intricate family relationships of half
the community. According to tradi-
ton, the Du Points, who have been
making powder for century. used to
with satisfaction that an
early Bayard had been halter. Every
has local traditions OF this
sort and every man lives with the
that his family history Is
known to all who have good memo
ries.
