worth remembering are attributed to the
venerable chief justice OF the New York
court of common pleas, Hon. Charles p.
DAILY. At one time a delicate question as
TO the construction Of a statute was dis
cussed before him. and after elaborate
arguments on each side, the chief JUS
tice decided the question In open court,
giving his reasons in q few well-timed re-
marks which caused lull in the court
room.
The silence was speedily broken by the
successful attorney. who stood UP and
said, with an air Of patronizing approval:
MAY 1t please your honor, /, for one,
agree with YOU entirely"
The chief justice. with a twinkle In his
eye which betokened his enjoyment of the
Joke, but 4 perfectly grave face. quietly
removed his glasses. and amid a breath
less stiffness said: ~ have, counselor, gen.

that he did not know the law.

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 25.-The Ann
Arbor railroad company won before the
state railrOad-crossing board today in
the long-drawn-out contest over the an
proval Of the map Of its proposed new
spur from its main line by direct route
to the village of Alma. Residents of the
village Of st. Louis are convinced that
when the new spur is built the COM
pany Will abandon its line to that vii
lage, and they opposed the approval Of
the map for this reason. The board
however, decided that the possible in.
tentions Of the company could have
nothing to do with the case. When q
move to abandon the line Is made II
will be time enough to act in that be-
half.
