TRENTON, March "a. 1Ss7.-The House
judiciary Committee last might gave a
nearing on the constitutional amendments
IN the Senate chamber, and there was
an interesting debate, which was partici-
pated in by several prominent lawyers.
Ex-Judge Pancoast, of Camden, present.
co a letter from Attorney General Grey,
In which he expressed his regret at his
inability to be present. In the letter MIR.
Grey expresses his views on the amend
ments. He says: II do not think any
changes should be made in the Constitu-
ton of the State, especially in the judiciary
article, which do not meet with the general
approval of the bar. The courts of the
State should never be made subjeet-mat-
ter of experiments. Unless there is prac-
teal unainity among lawyers, no attempt
should be made to change the higher
courts. and especially should no such effort
pc put forth as that in the line of the
experiments proposed by the new amend
ments. IN Johnson amendments involve
none of the objections which can be made
TO the voorhees, amendments
Abner Kalisch of Newark next spoke on
the VOORHEES, amendments. He Thought
ments of the bar of Essex county. They
involve an experiment, which was very
dangerous.
Fudge Pancoast. representing the bar of
oouln Jersey, and more particularly of
Camden county, spoke against the Voor-
hees amendment. He had talked with
many members of the bar in thai section
and ne had only met one mar who favored
the Voorhees, scheme, and that was Mr..
Crandall, of Camdan. He had heard of
three others. Outside OF these he did not
believe there was another man.
Frank Bergen of Elizabeth, spoke for
the voorhees, amendment. He answered
the objections made against it by
the various speakers. Mr.. Bergen said
that the present system was so Anticipated
that 1t took too many Judges to do the
work. Three men could do all the Cham
Gerry business # permitted to do the work
according to better methods. Mr.. Bergen
thought the people would adopt the Voor-
hees scheme If submitted to them, because
It was practical, but they would not adopt
the Johnson plan.
The committee will give further hearing
this afternoon.

TRENTON, March "a. 1S97.-The March
term of the United States Circuit Court
opened yesterday, with Judge Acheson
and Judge Kirkpatrick on the bench.
Shortly after the Circuit Court com
menced, however, Judge Kirkpatrick went
to the lower court room and sat in the

ing.
Upon a call Of the Circuit list the case

ALL In ONE SHORT DAY



II Leads To.
In the morning the snow fell asst mil
lions of white birds were shedding their
feathers. By noon the snow had turned
a sullen, beating rain. yet the sun
set In unclouded glory. That is the his
tory of an American spring day. This
sort Of spring does not inspire poets. but
it unchains the demon called Grip, and
what havoc he makes in the community
No trouble to tell when he has begun
his mischief. The headache, that banishes
rest by day n makes the night a long
torture; the pain in bone and muscle;
the nervousness; the cough that refuses
to be quoted. n the rawness. Of throat
and the soreness of lung, all tell the
story.
Naturally this vicious foe to life has set
the doctors thinking, talking and writing.
For once they are agreed. The best OF
all Grip medicines is a stimulant to
rouse every latent energy of the body,
and at the same time to be free from
every trace of deleterious matter.
The one stimulant that meets these
conditions is Duffy's pure malt whiskey.
So say public opinion; so says the medi.
cal profession. Always, at this time OF
the year, keep a bottle of this wh1skey
in. the house, and you need have no e
of Grip or of its consequences. Fol sale
by all druggists n grocers.

Signs the Prcsident's Name.
Washington Letter.

There is a clerk in the Interior Depart
ment who receives $1,000 a year and whose
sole duty consists of signing the name of
the President of the United States to land
warrants. During the last fiscal year this
signature was written $1,000 times, or lit
tie over 1000 signatures week.
This would not be considered very heavy
work by any clerk in the employ of a pri-
vate concern. DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew,
president of the New York Central Rail-
road, has the task of writing his name on
a reissue of 500. coo 000 worth of bonds in
denomina tions of $1,000 each. This he ex-
poets to accomplish in less than eight
500 signatures day, and writes but two
hours each day.
1t would take the government clerk al
most two years TO complete such a job,
working from o'clock in the morning UNI
til 4 in the afternoon. DR.. Depew does 1t
as a mere incident in his daily work and,
while signing his name, engages in CONVEX
transacts all sorts of important business.
This is a Slight Illustration of the differ
ence between government work and that
done for individuals or private corpora
tons.
This task of signing the Presidents name
has been looked on as a very serious under
taking There is a clerk now in the employ
of the government who has claim pend
ing before Congress for $4,000 as compensa-
ton for having performed this work in ad-
dition to his other duties for a period of
three or four years, away back in the sew
enties
He claims that he performed the work
mittees of both houses of Congress nave
not understood that signing name 1000 or
200 times a week was excessive LABOR,
they have not seen fit to allow the claim.

william RockefeIIer's Taxes.

Despite his millions, William Rockefeller,
like poor Joe, is kept moving along, not
however, for the same reason. In the case
of Mr.. Rockefeller IL is taxes. Tarrytown,
famous as spot where milionaires homes
thrive and flourish, has incurred Mr. Rookie
fellers displeasure. Not without reason, 1t
is asserted by those whose prejudiCes
against nIillionaireS are not so deep rooted
as to prevent them viewing cause and eff
fects disDaSsionately
The tax commissioners of Tarrytown as
sessed Mr.. Rockefeller's place at trifle
over two million, raise of valuation of a
million or so over the valuation of a year
ago. Mr. Rockefeller objected strenuously,
but futilely, and a short time ago put his
superb place on the market for sale at $3.50,
COO Since then his agents, it is said, have
received numerous offers to buy at that
figure. The stolid commissioners remain
unmoved and are reported to be of the opin-
ion that MI ROckefeller's offer is bluff.
One firm in New York wanted to trade real
estate in this city for the property. No at
tention will be paid to this offer. To-day
the agents received a telegram from Editor
Wardner of the Boston Traveller, offering
to buy the place at the figure named, but
the agents say his offer is too indefinite and
they will not consider 1t until Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter returns from Europe. They say. how
ever that if any person offers them a certi-
fed check for $350,0O0 the place will be sold.
