The staunton News saws:

1--WE will call the Dispatches attention 10
the fact that the session Of the Legislature
is very nearly half over. and If any mea-
sure has been adopted. or is in fair way
of being adopted. that will save the state
n dollar, we will thank the Dispatch to
point 1t out"
Elsewhere to-day we have treated at
some length the subject upon which the
News's comment bears. However, we
would say here that we are in favor of
giving the Legislature a chance. AS
every one who has had much experience
with legislation in Virginia knows. the
various committees seldom get settled
down to work until after the holidays.
ard it takes these committees some ten
days to digest thoroughly the important
matters before them. Our information is
that the committees of the present Cen
eral Assembly are working as hard and
as faithfully as have those Of any pre-
vious Legislature. The work of retrench-
ment that is before the Legislature is
not only as we have frequently said,
difficult and disagreeable one, but is also
one in which it is wisdom to make haste
slowly.

The critics are discussing the question
whether the proposed picture of the
Coronation Of the Gar" which Henri
Gervex promises as one of the attractions
Of the Paris Exposition of 1900, will be
Legitimate art" The picture will con-
tain some 200 nearly life-sized portraits,
and, for the purpose Of increasing the
realism" Of the spectacle TO be pre-
scented. NJ. Gervex is going to divide 1t
into three parts, two OF them being great
panels projecting forward at wide angles
from the ends of the third Heavy
draperies will conceal the extremlties on
an sides. while the light will fan from
above through the intervening space. The
spectator at a few yards distance will in
consequence be subjected to a veritable
optical Illusion. He will see neither the
beginning nor the end OF the design. and
may imagine himself to be I'm the very
coronation hall itself. ITO increase the
Illusion" says NJ. Gervex, Il intend to
engage, at least for the opening night,

General Boynton writes from Washing
ton to the New York Sun that in view
of the manufactured opposition to publish
ing the pension lists, it is interesting 10
iecan the action Of Congress in printing
the rolls of Revolutionary pensioners
when the same questions as to the in
tegrity of the rolls arose as are now be-
fore the public. 1t will be especially in
teresting to note, says he, that the print
ing of the pension lists, which was first
done by the House Of Representatives in
1920 and subsequently by the Senate in
1894. was ordered by each house without
a division, and, so far as the record
shows. without dissenting vote. And he
adds that at will surprise the indignant
gentlemen of the present day TO find that
it was deemed a sufficient reason for
dropping Revolutionary pensioners from
the rolls to find that they were not in
such reduced circumstances in life as to
need the assistance of their country for
support"

An amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States making the Federal
Judges elective is proposed by Senator
Marion Butler, OF North Carolina. In adj
vocacy OF the change Senator Butler Is
reported to have said that in every state
in the Union the judiciary is elected and
the tenure Of Office fixed. This statement
is very far from correct. In Massachu-
sets the judges are appointed by the
Governor and hold Office during good be
hayior. like the Judges Of the United
States Mr.. Buffers scheme contempldtes
a term OF eight years for the Federal
Judges. and provides for their election by
those persons who are qualified 10 vote
for members of Congress in the districts
and circuits to which the judges are re-
spectively assigned. The Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court he would have elect
ed by a popular vote throughout the en-
tire Union. lie would also empower Con-
gress to increase the number of justices
of that court to thirteen. The argument
in support of the proposed amendment is
that If the elective system is best for most
of the States. il Is best for the nation.
Ii must be observed. however. that the
conditions with which the Federal judi
ciary have to deal are I'm many essential
respects very different from those which
affect State judges.-The New York Sun.
In Virginia all the judges are elected by
the General Assembly for fixed terms
county judges for six years, circuit judges
for eight, and those of our Supreme Court
of Appeals for twelve. We think there
are four States in which the judges are
not elected by the people-Massacbusetts
Georgia, Virginia. and another that we
do not now recall.

REV. DIR. JOHN HALL RETrREs.
lie Resigns Passionate OF Fifth-Ave-
nue. Presbyterian Church.
(New York Press. 10TH

New YORK Press, lOln)
After serving for thirty years as pastor
OF the Fifth-Avenue Presbyterian church,
the richest and most powerful Presby-
terrain congregation in America, the Rev.
Dr. Jchn Hall yesterday announced MS
permanent retirement
The session. in accepting his resignation
and quickly making provision for a sue
cessor. said I'm the formal resolutions
adopted that DR.. Hall would be pastor
emeritus.
This position is a dignifed appelation
for one who draws a pension from the
approximation fund I'm many churcnes.
In making DR.. Hall pastor emeritus In the
resolutions announcing an acceptance OF
his resignation. the session made mention
OF how his salary should be fixed III Is
doubtful whether he will accept the posi-
ton or the salary.
Three weeks ago the venerable pastor
informed the members of the session tnat
he would retire In November OF iast
year he had been pastor for thirty years,
and he thought II time to make way TOT
a young man. He gave no reason FOR MS
wish TO retire. and a committee OF the
session waited on him. Robert Bonne,
who has long been a friend OF Dr. han,
was a member of this committee. Nndt
was said or done resulted IN meeting
Hairs resignation was accepted and pro-
vision made for a successor.
WARSZAWIAK TROUBLE
II had been said that the trouble con-
corning Herman WARSAW WAX has brought
about the issue Mr. WarsZawiak had
been converted to the Presbyterian Ialtn
and had engaged as a missionary IN one
Of the many branches Of the church. one
year ago he, as member OF Dr. Han
church applied for ordination papers.
Morris X. Jesup. president or the Guy
Mission and Tract Society, had detec-
tives follow Warszawiak. They reported
that he visited pool-rooms and had peen
seen i'm questionable resorts.
Warszawiak. who was defended by Or.
Hal, denied the charge. After a long
trial he was dismissed from membership
in the Fifth-AVenue church by the ses-
sion When the announcement or TINS
fact was made from the pulpit. the VIE
of the missionary screamed out denial
of the charges, and was removed from
the church by iorce. She was i'll after
that. and said that she would sue one of
the elders for abusing her Nothing ever
came of the charge
Among the members OF the session and
Board of Trustees of the church there
was none yesterday who would say this
trouble was the direct cause of DR.. Halls
resignation. His son died not long ago,
it was said. and other OF his relatives
were ill., Altogether. considering his age
and length of service, he had decided TO
retire and his resignation had been ac-
cepted.
When Dr. John Hall was seen last eve
ming in the Fifth-Avenue church, at the
close Of the service he only said. There
is nothing TO add TO my letter OF resigna-
tiOn 1t is all there"

THE P%ADELFORD ESTATE

Judge Penrose in Philadelphia on
Saturday filed the opinion Of the Or.
phans' Court in the Arthur Padelforl
estate litigation. The award 10 the
second wife of Mr.. Padelford holds
but the award to the child, Valerie /
Padelford, by the first wife, was set
aside.
The first wife Of Mr.. Padeltord wss
the actress, BettiDa Gerard, and be
was divorced from her. Valerie is her
child. Last winter Judge Hanna filed
an adjudication in the estate. He held
that the heirs to the fund on hand Of
over S222,00 0 principal and over 3.700.
income, were the tes.ator's second VII.
and the child, Valerie.
The collateral heirs filed exceptions.
and they were argued before Judges
Hanna, Ashman and Penrose. but
Judge Ferguson did not sit in the case.
The present ruling is that OF Judges
Penrose and Ashman and a dissenting
opinion is placed on record by Judge
Hanna.
The case has excited much interest.
as the first wife of Mr.. Padeliord was
the daughter of General Albert ord.
way, of Washington, and the general
was also 10 his lifetime the guardian
of the child Valerie. At one time
Mr.. Padelford denied that the child
was his. He lad before making the
disputed will executed a deed Of
trust, conveying all his property, to be
kept for his benefit, and then to be di.-
tributed as he should direct by will. It
was the legstees under this will who
objected to Judge Hanna's decision.
The widow claimed that the will, BAY.
ing been executed prior to the Tesla.
tors marriage with her, under the act
of April s, 1888, it is revoked as to her,
and she is entitled to the same interest
in his real and personal estate as if be
had died interstate.
On behalf OF the legatees named in
the will it was objected that the will is
rot a disposition by the testator OF bis
individual separate estate, but is mere
ly the execution of a power OF appoint.
ment reserved to himself in a deed
whereby he conveyed TO a trustee ell
his estate in trust for himself.
Under the lower courts ruling the
child Valerie would have shared in her
fathers estate, but under the finding
of the court in banc she is to do so only
to the extent of such moneys winch
descended to her father from her grand.
father. 1t is said that this sum is large.
