 editorial columps of the Weekly Courier Saturday evening. This morning Editor Ernest Hummer was summoned before Circuit Judge A. B. Grace to show cause why he should not be fined for con tempt. Mir. Hummer was especially anxious to hear what Judge Grace was going to do about the matter and went to the circuit court room.
 After inquirlng if MT. Hummer was the editor of the Courier and receiving reply in the affirmative, Judge Grace then read the editorial which appears first above, and ask ed if MT. Hummer had writer said editorial. Mr. Plummer again an swered in the affirmative. Judge Grace then severely censured MT. Plum mer for his utterances, and a. the same time attempted to defend his own position During the course of his lecture be remarked that no paper had a right to c..iticise tbe judicial acts of an officer who occu- pied such a position as that of cir cult judge; that he was at liberty to fine Mr. Plummer for contempt of court. but that he would on this oc- casion let MT. Plummer of with merely censure. Mr. Plummer was warned to be more careful ia the future.
 MS. Plummer thanked Judge Grace for his "homily," and at the same time asked the circuit judge i the facts as stated in the editorials were not true. To this the Judge did not directly reply, but said that he did not know that there was oth- CT gam mbling going on Tn the city, but stated that be would act in a smilar manner if ttey were reported to him.
 He then put the question to Mir. Hummer as to whether or not he knew that gambling was going on here. Mir Hummer refused to testi- fy in this instance, but informed the Judge that he knew that he lJudge Grace) must be aware of the fact.
 Judge Grace said that he would no longer tolerate criticisms of this kind and meant to put stop to them.

The London England Daily Tele graph has the following to say of the Whitney Mockrlde concert com pany which will appear at the Instt- ute here December G,
 A numerous and fashionable aud fence gathered at Queens Hall on Tuesday afternoou, when MT. Whit ney Mockridge gave very attrac tive recital of vocal and iDst-ument- al music. Mr. Woodbridge was as- sisted by Miss Palllser. Miss Clara Butt, Mir. Johannes Wolff and MT. Oscar Meyer, but interest centered Tn his own rendering of number of eopgs, chiefly of German origin. These he dealt with in a style that commanded the applause of his aud fence. MT. Mockridge is always at his best in modern settings of lyrlcel verses, and critical judgment must go emphatically with the popular verdict. His singing satisfied the most exIgient and confirmed the artists position among us."

TO Americans the Lord Chief Justice
Of England Is usually but name. The
late Baron Russell of killowen, how
EVER, was almost as well known aud
quite as sincerely respected in the Uni
ted States as in Great Britain. He had
visited this country twice, the last time
to deliver most thoughtful and sug
Eestlve address on International law.
Even before his elevation to the highest
judicial office in Great Britain, he had
won universal recognition by the mas.
lerly skill with which he had exposed
the Piggott forgerles in the London
Times, and vindicated Parpell, the
Irish home rule leader. He represented
Great Britain in the Bering Sea arbitra-
lion, was member of the Venezuela
tribunal, and on the death OF Lord
Herschell was chosen to succeed him
as President of the Joint High Commits
sion. These duties kept him In close
touch with American statesmen and
lawyers. whose confidence he won and
kept by his courtesy, falr-Uindedness
and profound legal knowledge. His
death was loss TO International COM
ny, and TO the whole body OF English
speaking people.
