TO WEAR ALPACA GOWNS.
Philadelphia Judges Decide That They
VIII Adopt q Costume.


Win Adopt q Costume.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept 20-The judges
of the common spleas courts are having
black alpaca robes made; there is to be
marked change in the garb of the judges
on September % when they assemble in
their new quarters in the city hall
Heretofore, they have worn only their
ordinary garments while on the bench.
Beginning a week from next Saturday,
each of the twelve will preside in flow
ing black alpaca gowns. cut with full
sleeves and made after a copy of those
worn by the members of the United
States supreme court The judges con-
slider that their courts lack dignity, and
they believe that this radical step will
shortly be followed by a similar one on
the part OF the lawyers. Today the
judges tried on their robes.
A black alpaca gown was produced,
and each of the judges tried it on in
turn. There had been some talk of
having silk gowns. but the majority of
opinion favored alpaca. The judges got
a little dignihed fun out of the trying on
process, because of the ffsrent ways
in which the trial gown tiued their diff
ferent figures, hut they we're all very
much in earnest in the matter
There was some talk of having the
members of the bar robed also. A
prominent lawyer said:
$50 far as our wearing gowns is con-
cerned, / do not think that more than a
small fraction of the bar approves of it.
We wear as good clothes now as bad
business will permit Then. again, the
spectacle of some of US wrestling with an
alpaca gown and bad case at the same
time is not pleasing to contemplate. /
don't think the lawyers will have it."

MIR. HERBERT HURRIES THEM
He Orders Contractors and Constructors to Expedite Work on the War Ships-EWls
 10 Be Remedied.

Washington, Sept. S.-Secretary Her bert today stated that the published statemenes that he had ordered work on vessels under construction to be eX- pedted were entirely correct.
 'The ships building in the navy var AS have been tagging for years" he said. For long time the delay was for want of armor, but armor is now being fur nished promptly.
 "The Texas and Maine. the former of which has just been put in commission, and the latter of which will be in few days really ought to have been in serv- ice months ago. Officials at the navy yards do not really desire to keep a regu- lar force steadily employed and the dis position is to take workmen from the ships that are building and do repair work with them. putting them back when the repair work it completed. Not only have the Texas and Maine been delayed by this practice, but also the monitors the Terror, the Monadnoc and the Puritan. All these ships ought to be now in com mission, and have ordered that they be pushed to completion. Precisely the same reasons which have operated to delay the building of ships at the navy yard naturally influence contractors. They are sometimes tempted to neglect
 
 forces on the government ships to do outside work as it comes in.
 "The contracts all provide penalties for failure to complete work in time Pen alties for delay have frequently been i'm posed upon contractors by the navy de- partment. but unfortunately congress has almost in every instance when it was asked, ruled against these penalties. The effect of such acts is necessarily demor- aliZng.
 "The department has recently given orders to push all work on all navy yard ships and has been urging the contrac- tors to increased diligence. It is to be hoped that penalties incurred in the fu- ture for delay will be allowed to stand
 There is really nothing about ship building that now renders 1t difficult in the United States. No good reasons can be given why ships authorized by con gress should not be completed with req sonable dispatch. and I am simply in- sisting on prompt compliance with con tract obligations. We have already shown that we can build ships and guns equal to any in the world. and hope our ship builders who are now looking for contracts abroad will demonstrate to the world that ships can be built not only as well. but as rapidly in the United States as anywhere in the world. Of course, am pushing along the manufac- ture of ordnance and everything else at the same time."

WILLIAM IN GOOD SPIRITS.
He Shows Marked Cordiality to Captain
 Evans, American Attache.

Stettin, Sept. S.-The empress left this city at 12:05 o'clock today. Emperor Will liam invited Prince Bismarck to attend a banquet that is to be given at the cas- tie tomorrow. The invitation was ex- tended to the old chancellor in his capac- ity as a Pomeranian landlord The prince begged that he be excused, because of his age, from attending. The emperor sub- sequently. remarked to his entourage that he regretted that he would not see the prince, adding that he was the pro- totype of the real Pomeranian. s
 Yesterday a woman tried to hand pe- tition to the emperor whereupon the po- lice seized her. The emperor saw the ar rest and called upon the woman to give the letter to one of hts aide-de-camps. The woman was then released. His majesty has displayed remarkable spir-l it's during his visit here. Several times he has addressed in a most cordial man ner Captain R. k. Evans, the military attache of the Amerr an embassy, who is here to witness the maneuvers.
