At the luncheon hour at the CONNER

addressed the members of the club on the
Nicaraguan canal route, which route he
considered far more advantageous one,
not only to the United States, but to the
commerce of the world, than the Panama
route. He favored building the canal at
once, and urged also that the United
States acquire the political control IF
the banks. Any other course must give
rise to serious commercial objections, as
Wen as making possible international

ness, and from the fact that they are not
generally as busily engaged as the other
courts OF the city and State both Of these
courts are less known to the public at
large. Under the general system adopted
by Congress these two courts, with the
Circuit Court Of Appeals were established.

throughout the country. 1t has q
single judge. A district comprises
the whole OF speoitisd part of state.
When the courts were first organizsd at
the formation of the government in 1889
there were thirteen districts. Several
years afterwards law was enacted, es-
tablishing six circuits, the courts to be
held by one OF the Justices of the Supreme
Court and and by the district judge.
Usually the policy has been to have as
many circuits as there were justices Of
the Supreme Court, and to have the jus
tices sit IN the circuit courts when their
other duties would permit. There were
no circuit judges until 1869, when one
was provided for each circuit. Before
that time the Circuit Court was held by
the district judges and tan associate of the
Supreme Court when he could be present.
Even now large part Of the business of
the circuit courts is transacted by the
district judges sitting alone. In this

Henry Soule's carpenter shop on Cotton
street. The fire caught from an overheated
stove In the second story. The two story
wooden building was nlled with dry lum-
Der which was very infiammable and
mads hot and vigorous fire. It-was not
sxtinguished without putting on several
streams OF water and the building was
badly burned, the roof and one side being
destroyed.
The building is owned by W. P. Carr
and A. o. Libby, whose loss win be up
wards of $500. covered by insurance. MIR.
Soule had an insurance of $500 on his
stook. He cannot estimate his loss very
closely, but he thinks the insurance will
power 1t. Several wooden buildings were
