Honor of Having Introduced It.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, January 1s.-
Senator Mahood, Of Mercer, will prob
ably have the credit Of getting the first
bill through the Legislature. His bill,
the first introduced in the Senate, pro-
vides for the election OF special judges
In Criminal Courts IN cases where the
judge OF any Of these courts is absent
or for any reason cannot act
Nearly all the Criminal Courts
established heretofore have been
handicapped for want OF authority
to appoint special judges in cases in
which the judge Of the court was in
terested as an attorney before his cleo
ton and qualification as such. There
is an urgent necessity for the passage
OF this bill. Il has been passed by the
Senate TO take effect from its passage,
and is now in the house on its second
reading. 1t will be passed, probably
next Monday and will go into Immedi-
late operation.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT BILL
W NhAs
as Senate bill No. 5, has passed the
Senate a4d is now on the calendar OF
the House. This bill provides for the
fine or Imprisonment of owners or occu-
pyers OF shantY boats who shall anchor,
tie or beach their boats upon the land
of another without the consent OF the
owner OF the land. The shanty boats
have been crying evil for many years
along the rivers of the State, especially
near towns and villages, and there has
heretofore been no adequate law to
abate the evil. There seems to be q
general demand for the passage OF the
bill. and it will likely be among the trst
10 become law.
The third Dill to pass the Senate and
get upon the House calendar is that in

King Leopold, of Belgium. IL sixty
years old. but in spite of his age his
risky adventures are frequently the
source of annoyance to his subjects.
Often he slxips across the border into
France or Germany, absenting himself
at times when his presence is especial
ly demanded at Brussels. and keeping
his own household and ministers in ig-
norance of his hiding place. About a
year ago a serious crisis suddenly came
upon the Belgian ministry. Trouble
10 be found. Nearly fortnight elapsed
before he was discovered in the COM
pany of a notorious woman at a resort
in Switzerland. The report circulated
at the time was to the effect that he
had not heard a word of the troubles
in Brussels and was vexed because he
had to go home and keep his govern
ment from going to pieces.
This king has just furnished his SUBJ
jects with a new cause for offense.
They proposed to celebrate his birth
day. The preparations for the affair
were on an unusually brilliant scale.
On thu morning Of the birthday the
royal old rascal was no where to be
found. He knew what was in store
for the anniversary, but he went away
with an officer for his companion. and
there was no telling whittier he had
gone. Two days later he returned to
Brussels. and the accounts say he was
so annoyed over the fuss made about
his mysterious disappearance that no
one ventured to ask him where he had
been" This old duffer evidently wants
1t to be widely known that he can be
as big a scamp as ever any of his
Hapsburg cousins at Munich or Vienna
Were.
