GOWNS FOR CITY MAGISTRATES.

Magistrate Deuel. was asked yesterday afternoon
about reported agitation that the CITY Magistrates
should wear gowns. and ne his opinion as fol-
lows:
II am inclined think that with the large NUMBER
OF people coming TO a City Magistrates court every
dav the gown would be impressive II would serve
the public interests better in this respec. than do the
gowns worn in the higher courts for the reason that
the CITY Magistrates into contact with class
OF people who more easily swayed by appear
ances than are those in the higher court

THEY THINK 1T THE BEST METHOD.
THE CHARITIES COMMISSIONERS BELIEVE IN THE
PRESENT SYSTEM OF APPOINTMENTS
TO THE CITY HOSPITALS.


TO THE CITY HOSPITALS.
In answer to the criticism made by a committee
Of the County Medical Association concerning the
manner in which appointments are made TO the
medical STATS Of city hospitals the Charities Com
missioners yesterday said that they made the ap-
pointments wholly the recommendation Of the
Medical Board. which includes representatives Of
the various local medical colleges. The Commits
sioners everred that they simply confirmed the
nominations as made by this Board, which 1t was
presumed could best select the proper physicians
and surgeons for the hospitals In the jurisdiction
OF the Department Of Public Charities.
Secretary Harry G. Weaver said yesterday, at
the Offices of the Commissioners. at East Eleventh.
St and Third-ave that this system Of making ap-
pointments has been in vogue for this year. and
that II had been argued that II was the most
practicable plan in view of the circumstance that
the Charities Commissioners are not medical ex-
perts and that consequently the selection Of physi
clans and surgeons naturally devolves upon the
Medical Board made up OF professional judges from
the medical colleges Of the city
The criticism which the County Medical Associa-
ton will present through its committee to-day to
the Charities Commissioners includes an oDJecuoh
to the alleged preference shown toward the grad
OF the local medical colleges oy the prssede
system Of appointments, which are virtually made
by the colleges themselves IL Is suggested mat

BANKS AND DEPOSIT MONEY.
DECISION THAT A BANK is PROTECTED IN PAY
ING DEPOSITS on THE AUTHORITY OF

PICIOCS CIRCUMSTANCES

by Louis Geitelsohn against the Citizens Savings
Bank. involving Its liability for the payment Of
deposit moneys the authority OF passbook.
The decision is of interest savings bank de-
positors. in II the Appellate Term reverses the
decision of the General Term OF the City Court.
The evidence showed that Geitelsohn, who could
neither write nor read English. made deposits In
the bank during 1886 amounting to 1920. There
were Withdrawals. but SSO allowed TO remain

tho passbook and withdrew all the balance Geitel-
sohn sued TO recover the amount. and twice OBJ
taned verdict for $l.35 IA.
In the decision yesterday reversing the City
Courts verdicts. Justice DAILY says that when
Getelsohn became a depositor in the bank he sub
scribed its rules governing deposits, which pro-
vide that the presentation OF the passbook shall
be sufficient evidence of authority TO the bank 10
make any payment to the bearer. and that such
payments shall be valid payments to discharge the
bank This. however. will not discharge the
bank" the opini,n continues. ''if at the time OF
