PROPOSED NEW COURT.
The Bill for Creating the Court Of
Appeals
IS INTRODUCED BY Mr.. GARDENHIRE.

This is the Court to Relieve the Pres
sure on the Supreme Court Of Kan-
sas.
A court of appeals for the relief of the
supreme court is an acknowledged neces-
sity among the lawyers and litigants of
Kansas. who are interested in good gov
eminent
The fact that the supreme court is
several years behind with its business,
makes it almost imperative that some
court be established for its relief.
During the session of the legislature
two years ago bill was introduced pro-
vidiug for two inferior courts and it has
been suggested that bill will be intro
troduced during the present session
providing for three separate inferior
courts. or Of one inferior court with three
districts, one to be located in eastern,
one in central, and one in western Kansas
Each one of such courts or divisions
would have to have separate clerk, and
have up all the machinery that is now
necessary to run the supreme court
The State Bar association, the mem ber-
ship of which is made up of the ablest
lawyers in Kansas, have considered this
matter carefully and committee from
that body has drafted bill providing for
court of appeals to be located at To-
peka which the best lawyers say will best
relieve the supreme court and be thu
best for the people.
By having one court located at Topeka
the lawyers say the judges of the court
will have opportunity for consultation of
the state library. the best law library in
the west, and it will be an advantage to
the members of the bar practicing in the
court to have the court meet where they
may have access to the state library.
By having one court, but one clerk
and reporter are required and the ex-
pense will not be nearly so great as sew
eral courts or divisions would be.
The bill drafted by the State Bar asso-
citation committee has already been in
troduced in the house by Representa-
tive Gardenhire of the southern district
Of Shawnee county.
The bill provides for the creation of a
court of record for the state of Kansas

A QUESTION OF CT AND rs.
How tho Title OF the Emperor of Rus
STA Should Be SpeIled.


Mention of the Partisan controversy
on the Russian emperor's title has
brought out several communica tions
on the same subject. One writer says:
1.-The initial letter in Russian is a
double letter representing rs and
the title in our characters should be
spelled tsar. / may mention that his
wife's title is tsaritsa aud not czarina,
and that of his eldest son tsesarevich,
the other sons being called tsarevich.
Another correspondent writes: THE
first letter in the emperor's title is
the twenty-third in the Rus
sian alphabet 1t has invaria bly,
the sound which in English
would be most accurately rendered by
Us The second letter is equivalent
to our a. the third to our R. and
there is final semi-mute letter, which
may, perhaps, be disregarded. The
Russian pronunciation of the word is.
therefore, 'ts-a-r.' How the general
English custom of employing On in
the word arose it would be difficult to
say for the Russian letters. sCz'are used
initially in only two or three words
in the whole language. They are
never employed. however, in 'tsar or
any of its derivatives. There is no
'czarina' in Russian. The word is
'tsaritsa,' with the accent on the
second syllable. The fact that the
Empress Catherine, the Emperor Paul.
and other Russians have used the
form car when writing in foreign
language can hardly justify its use
when CT does not convey the orig
inal sound of our rs in that lam
guage."

A Human Brute,

Special Policeman Van Alstyne
last night arrested Thos. Lynch, a
man, and Chas. Van Colt, a boy,
on the charge of being suspicious
characters. The boy told the re-
corder today that Lynch had met
up with him in Houston, and they
went to Luling together. The man
burned the boys arm with lime,
and made him beg, showing the
terrible condition of the arm,
which was said to be due to
scrofula.
They arrived in San Antonio and
the man got drunk on the money
the boy got by begging and beat
the boy numerically. They were
arrested at west side dance hall
because the man was drunk and
trying to beat the boy again. This
morning the recorder fined Lynch
800 and the boy was sent to the
hospital. Lynch acknowledged
having used the boy in the man
ner described and disguised every
body In court by his effrontery.

The LIGHT received call at 8
O'clock this morning from Mr.. w.
B. Fish, the national pedestrian
tourist, who is walking from New
York to San Francisco, on an offer
OF 81, 800 and a suit OF clothes and
railroad ticket back to New York,
il he completes his journey in four
months and twenty-tour days. The
offer is made by Richard K. Fox,
the New York sporting paper
publisher. Thus far Mr.. Fish
is fourteen days ahead Of
his time in reaching this city. He
started from New York with
two other men Sept. Both last, but
the others gave out and turned
back. He walked to Washington,
D. c., then to Atlanta, Ga, then
to Montgomery, Alabama, and to
New Orleans. He came over the
Southern Pacific track and will
keep to the railway track all the
rest Of the way.
He fell i'll in Montgomery was
relieved of his gold watch and
chain by a grasping doctor who
treated his case. He lost II pounds
in weight there in two days, but has
regained almost his normal avoir-
dupois and looks healthy. To get
money he sold his first pair Of shoes
in New Orleans for $25 and was
subsequently robbed Of the money
by tramps on the road, who read
about him having the money in
the New Orleans papers. He had
no pistol to stand them off then
but is "fxed" now. He says ht
averages 80 to 80 miles per day
walking, camping out at night
When he reaches a town ahead o
time he takes off two days to ge
work and money for his simpl,
needs. He will remain here tw,
days. The distance he has t
travel to gain the prize is 3,4S
miles.

The Orphans Christmas Dinner

The Orphans Christmas Dinner.
To the LIGHT.
Mr.. Nat Lewis started the fund
for the orphans Christmas dinner
at the Protestant home by sub
scribing $3.50, and other contribu-
tions are assured. A station is
now open at 210 Avenue D.. where
articles Of any kind useful to the
children may be sent. 1t is hoped
that there will be a general re-
spouse to the proposition of send
ing liberal supplies to this worthy
institution at this season. People
in all parts Of the city are asked to
make contributions, but it is not
necessary to send the things to the
Avenue station. The goods may
be gathered and sent out to the
Home by all interested, or II word
is sent Rev. Mr.. Rose, or to any
Of the ladies of the Home, a wagon
will be sent round and the groceries
etc, collected.
The idea is that persons shall
donate pound Of sugar, tea, cof-
fee, canned fruit, or anything that
may serve for the table, or clothe
the children. Toys and books will
be thankfully received.
The scheme is so reasonable it
ought to enlist the sympathies and
active interest of the teachers and
scholars Of the Sunday and day
schools besides the charitable So
| cieties.
1t is desired that by Tuesday
next, December "a, large offering
be made.

1t seems that the suicide cpl.
demic has this time struck the
colored populace.
The latest victim is Bessie
Franklin, colored girl OF eigh-
teen summers. She was found a
corpse early this morning in Clara
Williams hack yard at No. 1913
Hood street, Government hill.
Coroner Jones viewed the body
and ordered it buried by the coun-
ty.
Deceased was known to- the
police as "Morphine Bess,",s sand
formerly lived on East street. Her
best chums were Ida Miller and
Alice Edwards, and the trio lived
in a little house in the rear of
Clara Williams.
Deceased was a morphine fiend.
She called on Clara Williams last
night and told her that she was
unhappy, and would commit sui
eide. The latter tried to talk the
idea out of her.
She said that her friends, Mary
Carter, or Maria Coutreras, as she
was also known, had committed
suicide, and that now she did not
care about living any more. She
seemed to regret the death of Mary
Carter, who killed herself on Dolo-
rosa street Wednesday night, very
much, and said she felt like doing
the same.
1t is believed she took morphine
last night about midnight and re-
NAMED out in the cold until she
died. She was found prone on her
back.
She has an aunt, named Little
Franklin, whose husband drives
curbing near the Arkansas Pass de-
pot. Little called on Justice Jones
this morning and said she would
see her husband as to the DISPOSE
ton OF the body.
