Kraal, designed to illustrate to the visitors
what a South African village was like In July
the Kraal came into great prominence In the
English newspapers by reason OF the engage.
ment OF South African chief. who called him-
self Prince LobenRua, to mary u young Eng.
lish woman. Such assertions were made as to
the scenes OF South African life which could DO
witnessed at the Kraal that the lessons OF the
grounds concluded to close that part OF the OK.
hibition to oil women. leaving the came open
to men only. The lessees objected to this pro.
hibition as direct insult to the ladies who
visited the exhibition and as a tacit admission
that the Kraal was an immoral show. The
owners nevertheless insisted upon the pro.
posed limitation. and on the 9th inst. an
application was made to Mr. Justice Cozens-
Hardy. sitting as Vacation Judge. for an in.
junction to prevent the enforcement OF the
restriction. 1t appeared. however. that the
exhibitors under their contract. were mere
licensees OF the owners. and that tho owners
were interested In having the receipts from the
show as large as possible. inasmuch as they
shared In the proceeds. Under the ciroum-
stances the Judge thought the owners were
acting in good faith and he refused to restrain
them from excluding female visitors from the
Kraal.
There are now very few lawyers living who
can remember the time whom Charles p DAILY
was not prominent figure either at the bar or
on the bench in this city. To very large pro.
portion OF those practitioners who have at.
tanned middle age he has long been known a.
q personal friend: and his death. which oe-
Cured at his summer homo on Long Island on
Tuesday. will be sincerely incurred by large
circle Ia this community. His position a.
president OF the American Geographical
Society gave him u wide acquaintance with
men Of science in other countries. among
whom he enjoyed high reputation for his
requirements as a gsographer and his enthu.
slasm in tho advancement OF that branch OF
learning. For more than forty years his life
had been a continuous season OF judicial and
professional prosperity. so that he seemed the
embodiment Of calm and conservative success
In life; but in his early days he had some hard
knocks In New York politics In which he mani.
tested characteristic Irish prowess. and which
he would occasionally talk about to his intis
mate friends. He used to say that he never
replied to the criticisms to which he was then
subjected by INSCRIPTIONS political foes but
simply trusted to his own observance OF per.
sonal and official rectitude to answer them.
For several months past. the announcement
has repeatedly been made that Chief Justice
John A. Peters was about to retire from
his seat on the bench OF the Supreme Court OF
Maine. This announcement 10 now renewed
from LeWlbJOT, WIN inc blht6U0ut tnbb
Judge Peters will sit for the last time at the
October term In wscassst. The Judge was
formerly a Representative in Congress and was
A member OF the Naval Committee Of the
House in 1872. He had the appearance OF q
venerable man then. for his hair could never
have grown any whittier. yet he has been In OF.
fice almost ever since and has come to be one
OF the most distinguished Nom bers OF the New
England judiciary. We may add that he en-.
joys the reputation OF being one Of the best
story -tellers in that part OF the Union. When
he retires. one Of the present Associate Jus.
tees vii! probably succeed Judge Peters as
Chief Justice. and the vacant place thus ere.
ated is expected to be filled by tho appointment
OF Mr.. Frederick A. Powers Of Houlton. Mr..
Powers is a brother OF the Governor. who 10

curious bankruptcy case came before the
Queens Bench Division OF the High Court
OF Justice in London on the 7th inst. The
bankrupt was James Frederick Hodgetts. who
had a surplus of G2S.O0O in 1885, but now has
nothing but f70 worth OF furniture. He rep.
resented to the court that he had lost all his
savings In working upon the construction OF .
rolling ship. In developing this idea he
has taken out twenty-three patents. but the
syndicate which was formed to operate under
them proved unsuccessful. and the result 10
that the inventor could offer his creditors mel.
Their the patents or anything else. His career.
as described to the court. has been somewhat
remarkable From 1S47 to 1853 he was q
scientfc adviser to tho Indian Navy, from
which he retired at tho end OF that period with
the rank OF Commander. He then became .
naval professor. finding employment as such

had not turned his attention subsequently, to
the invention OF ship which could not roll.
The bankrupt EXPRESSED confidence that his
patents would ultimately prove profitable.
asserting that his patent non rolling ship had
been successfully tested.

now stationed at or near Manila. The Consti.
tuition confers upon the Governor the power to
make temporary designations In case Of the
absence or inability to act OF any Justice In the
Appellate Division. Judge Kellogg has done
most acceptable service at trial terms Of the
Supreme Court in this county and also in
Kings county. At the first term which he held
in Brooklyn, he dismissed so many complaints
in negligence suits. that Tom Moore used to
say Judge Kellogg breakfasted on plaintiff
every;morning. Professor Brainerd Kellogg.

professors in the Brooklyn Polytechnic Instit.
