are exceedingly responsible, to begin with,
as immense business interests are often in
yolved, as well as grave matters of state,
and are practically continuous, requiring
the most assiduous application, deep study
and painStaking research.
THE question of the $4,000 year does
not weigh in the matter at all, for any one
of them could earn five times the sum in
legal practice, which would not take one
twentieth the time he now devotes to his
duty. The honor of the position, the pride
they take in filling it conscientiously, and
the realization of the service they perform
for their country and the profession Is
doubtless compensative to them, and fur
nishes sufficient inducement for retaining
their positions. but do not for moment de-
lude yourself that their lives are easy ones" "

cases on the docket Of the Supreme Court

THE LITTLE BROWN TRAMP,

How He Came to Be Seated Mt the
Base of Sherman's Statue.
The design for the Sherman statue sub
mitted by Mr.. J. Massey Rhind of New
York Is very ornate. Besides having sew
eral groups of warlike and allegorical fig
ures about the pedestal. 1t has quite an en-
closure on one side, approached by short
fight Of broad steps, with broad seat on
each side. The many visitors to the de-
rartment statuary corridor to examine the
various designs have been much interest
ed in noticing small brown figure seated
On one Of these benches. Everything else
striking contrast. Viewed from little dis
tance this figure Is very artistic and ef-
fective, and serves to show the relative
size Of mans figure and the proposed
dropped down in the seat to take good
long rest. He wears slouch hat with the
brim pulled down, one leg is crossed over
the other, and he is apparently reading
newspaper fntently, without any fear Of
being disturbed by wandering policeman.
When one approaches near enough to
examine the figure carefully the illusion
disappears and he sees nothing but some
parently with but little regard to the for
nation of legs or arms or anything else.
The little figure was not there when the
model was first placed there and how it
got there Is rather interesting.
Mr.. Ellicotts model stands about fifteen
feet catercornered from the Rhind design.
When 1t was first put up Gen. Sherman
wore a regulation soldier cap. Some one
who knew told Mr.. Ellicott that he had
made mistake; that Sherman never wore
cap, but always slouch hat. 'Pll easily
fix that" said the sculptor, and procuring
a handful Of mud he almost Instantly
transformed the cap into hat, which, be-
ing easily whitened, conformed with the
rest Of the statue.
The chunk of mud which was left he
carelessly dropped on the covered box on
which the model stood. Pretty soon Mr.
Rhind came along, and while standing
talking with a friend he picked up the
mud and rolled pieces of 1t between his
thumb and finger. In the twinkling of an
eye he had fashioned the little brown
tramp, which he seated at the base Of his
own model. And there it rests serving a
double purpose showing the proposed Size
of the statue and what art can do with a
chunk of mud.

The Dutch roll is perhaps the easiest and
most restful of skating movements. The
long stroke of the right foot is made with
the body inclined slightly, almost imper-
ceptibly, forward. The left foot is carried
along until a semi-circle has been COM
pleted (or more than three-quarter circle
according to the desire and ability of the
skater to stand one FOOT and then
crossed over the right and planted firmly,
thus throwing the weight of the body on
the LETT foot and the outer edge Of the
skate. The movements alternate, the right
crossing the left and SO on. The regular
forward roll, while apparently not as diff
cult as the Dutch roll, requires more con-
fidence as the ankle has to sustain the
entire weight Of the body for a longer
time and at a lesser angle. Before conclud-
ing the stroke that would convert it into
a Dutch roll, the body is almost uncon-
sciously thrown into vertical position
and the momentum starts the stroke on the
left foot This, when done without ap-
parent effort, is one of the most attrac-
tive glides of the skater.

Two Warrington Women Who An
swered an Advertisement.
Two weeks ago an advertisement was
published here TO the effect that widower
worth 100000 would marry a lady willing
to travel occasionally TO relieve monotony."
The advertisement bore the name Well
man, and tie address as S33 Sth avenue,
New York city. Mrs. Jennie Winterdale,
widow. at s26 14th street, and Miss
Sewell Of 429 G street both answered the
advertisement, and both expected to become
the widower's better half, but in some way
one learned that the other was receiving
attentions from him.
Mr. Hobart Brooks, the newspaper cor
respondent, who is Mrs. Winterdales
nephew, called at police headquarters
and made complaint to Inspector Hol-
linberger. Detective Boardman made an
investigation Of the case, and failing to
find that any offense against the law had
been committed, dropped the investigation
The whereabouts of the man, who claims
to be from the City Of Mexico, is not

gowns of black silk, the chief justice at the
head of the cortege. They take their places
behind their chairs. and the crier continues
"Oyez, oyez, oyez, all persons having bus
iness before the Supreme Court of the
United States are admonished to draw near
and give their attention, for the court is
now sitting. God save this honorable court"
With that the chief justice and his asSo-
ciates bow gravely to the bar, who in return
make respectful obeisance and all hands
sit down, the visitors in the chamber hardly
daring to draw breath, so impressed by the
Sight OF all this greatness and the canopy
of solemnity with which the officials festoon

of the bar are proposed for admission to
practice and motions made for the disposal
of business.
No Place for OratOry.
Then the case to be argued Is called and
the attorneys rise to address the court. Be-
fore any case is argued it is necessary to
file printed brief for the two parties at is
sue, setting forth the nature of the case
and the grounds upon which it Is brought
before the court. Every thing presented for
che consideration Of this tribunal Is required
to be in printed form. The arguments are
high-flown oratory attempted, for there
Is no jury to be Influenced and the attorney
must stick close to facts. After brief ar
guments on each side, or, perhaps, without
argument, and by the submission of a brief
the case is rested with the court and the
parties at issue must go home and await
the rendition of decision
Th1s Is where the work of Mr. Justice
Blank begins. He is required to consider and
digest the argument made by the attorney
and to make up his mind on the questions
presented for his decision. In his argument
the attorney made numerous citations of
law, of references and precedents, which
Mr.. Justice Blank must look up and verify,
as he cannot afford to trust anything to the
attorneys say so. 1t may have been a
forced Interpretation or application that
the Jealous attorney made of the citation,

A variation of the loop is the letter Q,
combined with the serpentine line. Al
though apparently simple, it is difficult to
execute as a sudden change of edge has
to be effected. Quite the simplest move
ment with both feet upon the ice is the
figure 8. The feet follow each other around
the circles. changing position at the inter-
section without much effort. When done
backward the effect is more graceful. The
grapevine, which is one of the most grace
full movements, is particularly hard, as
the shoulders have to be brought into play
to throw the body suddenly round. This is
a combination of the backward stroke with
the forward serpentine. The greatest diff
Guilty, however, is found in the instantan-
eous charge of direction of both feet.
Outside of these figures there are nu,uer-
GUS strokes and cuts which can be done
with more or less ease and grace What is
perhaps the greatest aim of a skater, aside
from being easy and confident, is to write
his Initials. Most of the letters of the
alphabet can be done with one foot, the
other beirg used to propel the body or to
suddenly stop it at the proper instant.
There is as much art in knowing how to
manipulate the foot that is off the ice as II
is to carve with the one upon it. The
easiest letters to make are B, c, e, G, NJ,
p. R and v, these being formed into most
any monogram by the application of the
principles used in executing the loops, the
star OR the lovers knot.

An Analysis of the Vote.

An analysis of the vote by which Chicago
was selected by the national committee as
the place for holding the next national
democratic convention has been made by
Mr.. Lawrence Gardner. This analysis
shows that the states voting for Chicago
by representatives have an electoral vote
amounting to 900, while the electoral vote
of the states casting their ballots for st.
Louis is 1853. Chicago's vote, according to
Mr.. Gardners analy sis, represents 157 de.n-
ocratic votes in 1892 while that for St
Louis represents 11s democratic votes in
the same year.

A special from Frankfort, KY, sent yes

John W. Yerkes of the republican state
central committee was here today in con-
ference with leaders Of both parties. Ac-
cordlngly. this afternoon there was meet
ing Of republican and democratic leaders,
in which the situation was discussed freely.
It is said that the republicans favored post
poning voting for United States Senator
until after Wilson'S successor shall have
been chosen. and that the democrats ad-
mitted that their threats to remove five re-
publican senators were retaliatory. It
seems also that conciliatory measures were
adopted, and that revolutionary tactics will
not be resorted to by either side. The ef-
feet is to postpone thu election of United
States Senator till after February 4. and
possibly to prevent the election of Sen
ator this year.

The double loop, the figure and the dou-
bic 3 are also comparatively simple move
ments being made with one foot. What IS
considered one of the prettiest figures on
ice is the Maltese cross, which is made
by consecutively cutting four anvils at
right angles to one another. Another
graceful figure is the star, which is made
with both feet firmly on the ice by a series
Of straight cuts with the heel of the skate,
each at such angle to the next that they
will ultimate join to form the figure. A
combination of the loop and star cut is
the three-leaf clover. The figure is first
begun with a straight cut, then followed
by three loops, alternating on the inner
and outer edges of the right skate, and
ended with Z vigorous cut.
