DISTRICT COURTS, OR MUSICIPALs
Proceeding in the Supreme Court 70 Fix the
Date OF tho Change.


Dato or tho Change.
A proceeding which will probably clear up
the dispute AS to whether the Municipal courts
replaced the District courts at tho beginning of
the year or will replace them on Feb i, has
been brought by Moses Lubelsky g. Son In an
effort TO compel the issue of summons entitled
in the Municipal courts. The law firm was
notified that Justice Bolto had determined that
under the new charter all process must be issued
in the Second District Court until the lst Of
February, and the summons would be entitled
In that court. The law firm would not proceed
unless the action was entitled in tho Municipal
Court for the Second district. Justice Cohen of
the Supreme Court issued yesterday an order
requiring the Clerk OF the District Court. Mr.
Magln, to show cause tomorrow why he should
rot be directed to issue process entitled in the
Municipal Court.
Section 1851 of the charter states that the
District courts are succeeded by the Municipal
courts on Jan /. There are other provisions OF
the act which say that tho old Justices shall sit
in January. and turn over papers, records, court
houses; and pending cases 10 tho Municipal
Court Justices on Feb !.
1t 10 understood that most OF the other JUS
ticcs OF these courts are against the position of
Justice Bolte and have issued process from the
beginning OF tho year entitled In the Municipal
courts.

Fate of Beardsley Poster.

The late Aubrey Beardsley little
suspected what the fate of one OF his
curious, weird pictures would be. Ac-
cording to contemporary, one OF
these bizarre posters was purchased by
an American in London for the modest
sum of twenty-five cents, and sent to
a friend in America as specimen OF
the latest thing in English art. The
friends appreciation of English art
was such that he used the poster for
wrapping up some linen that was sent
to Chinese laundry kept by Sam Ii.
Sans eyes frightened as he smoothed
out the crumbled paper, and he fas-
tened it on the laundry wall and invit-
ed his compatriots to come and look at
it.
They came by twos and threes I'M
til the fame Of the poster spread
abroad; then they came in crowds. One
of the visitors, Wan-fo-Li, director Of
the Chinese theater in Canton, bought
it for 500 and soon made $500 by
charging a small entrance fee for see
ing the poster. Finally, rich China
man of San Francisco bought it for
$500 and to-day it decorates the palace
of this millionaire, and before it burns,
day and night, lamp, as before some
domestic Divinity Chicago News.

The Breeders Gazette gives de-
scription of this sheep feeding rack.
The animals cannot rub the wool off
their necks trying to get at the feed;
neither will the Seed dust and rubbish
fall into the wool, and they cannot pull
the hay down and mess it over so they
will not eat 1t afterward. The rack Is
easily made. With it you can have
lambs running about the feed lot with
out their getting on top of the hay,
which ordinarily cannot be done.
Make the frame out of by 6's edge
wise. For block at bottom saw by 6's
diagonally. Nail a 12-inch board along
the bottom lengthwise; then take three
1O-inch boards and nail up the front.
Set bottom 1O-inch board level with the
12-inch or about one inch higher. Make
the rack with frame about every four
feet, emitting crosspiece except at the
