The Announcement.

In announcing the order Judge Bradley
began by referring to custom which he
classified as a relic of bygOne days be
fore the war. He said he was glad TO see
that the custom was dying out. 1t was
an old habit, both disgusting and unhealth-
full.
Up To this point the lawyers and specta-
tors did not understand the court, because
his statement had not declared what relic
was referred to. II was apparent a mo-
ment later that the privilege of tobacco
chewing in the courtroom was the target
for the remarks.
II refer to the habit Of chewing tObac-
co.. said Judge Bradley. 1T is unhealth-
ful an d dis gusting."
II have noticed that while import ant evi-
dence was being given, or a lawyer was de-
livering an argument, or the court was
charging the jury, that this most disgust
ing noise OF the chewing was going on. In
these days it is about time the habit was
stopped No one would eat an apple in the
courtroom or smoke a cigar. | have con-
Cluded to give notice that in this courtroom
those VINO are addicted 10 the habit will
have to refrain from it, In some cases,
where the habit is Of long standing and
seemingly necessary to aid thinking,
presume some leniency will have to be
shown
The court here rccited an instance of a
very prominent public man, who for fifty
years chewed plug Of tobacco daily. He
was sent abroad, and soon found that the
habit was not well received in the higher
circles, so concluded to abandon il. The
court explained that his acquaintance sue
ceeded III his resolution, and has not since
regretted II.

In His Behalf.

1t is announced that the subcommittee
of the Committee on the District OF CO.
hImbia. to which the nomination of Francis
Preston Blair Sands for District Commits
Sioner, has been referred VIII meet on
Wednesday TO take up his case. The
friends OF Mr.. Sands are very aggressive
III his behalf. and everything seems TO in
cate that the objection OF some members
OF the Senate Committee on the District
OF Columbia will be overcome in his case.
No Presidential nominee for District
appointment In recent years has had
friends who put forward such ardent ex-
ertions in his behalf as Lave been made
for Mr. Sands since his nomination.
Large petitions signed by professional
and business men throughout the city have
been presented to the District of Columbia
Committee, and many personal calls from
prominent men have been made on the
committee. These gentlemen have strongly
urged Mr.. Sands confirmation and spoken
of his wide experience and high qualifi-
cations for the office. He is a native
of Washington and has passed all his life
within her borders excepting only when
an officer of the Navy in the late war.
These things give him peculiar quaIifica

his ability to fill the place appeals strongly
to many Senators.
Senator Gibson, of Maryland, mem Der
of this committee said yesterday that he
should support Mr.. Sands and that he re

| qualified to make an excellent Commits
/ sioner. There are a number of other Sen
| ators, including two on The District Com
| mittee, who are known to be advocates OF
| his confirmation.
| lt is stated that Senator Mcmillan and
| Senator Proctor, although personally very
| friendly to Mr.. Sands, are likely to oppose
! his confirmation because they believe that
