JUSTICE COLLINS'S ADVICE
Tells the Younger Members
How to Become Good
AlIround Lawyers.

There was much fear and apprehension
in certain quarters of New York City last
evening. About 1A0 Jerseymen like the
Father of their country, crossed the river
through the ice and set the Hessians who
now infest that city to auazing. When
the malefactors languishing in the Tombs
heard that Justice Dixon was among the
numSer their teeth began to chatter as
though the thermometer had suddenly
dropped several degrees below zero. When
the lawyers of the city heard that this
Jersey host was made UP of the Hudson
County Bar Association and its friends,
including the Governor, Chancellor, one
Vice Chancellor, three Justices of the Su-
preme Court, one Judge of the Court Of
Common Pleas, three District Court
Judges and about ninety of the brightest
and ablest lawyers in their world, their
Knees smote together and beads of per-
spiration gathered upon their brows as
they thought what would happen to them
if this invasion meant that the New Jer-
sey Courts were to be established in their
midst
Hearing that the invaders had stopped
at the Hotel ST. Denis at Eleventh street
and Broadway, they hastily sent Stewart
L. Woodford and Job Hedges down to spy
out the land and discover just what was
going on. 1t did not take the ex-Minister
TO spain and the ex-Secretary to the
Great Reform Mayor of New York to dis
covers that the fears of everybody were
glsundless. as the occasion was the ar
nual dinner of the Hudson County Bar
Association, and like all Jerseymen who
want to make a night of it they had come
ri 20 ma mt the
night. The two exs eagerly accepted an
Invitation to remain and partake OF the
Jerseymen's hospitality just to show that
they had no evil designs on the brethren
OF New York
The dinner was spread in the Colonial
dining room of the hotel which was plain
~ but richly decorated with the National
colors Colonel Charles Willing Fuller, as
President of the association, sat at the
head of the guests table with Governor

Magic on his left. The others at this

The first thing that attracted the atten-
tion Of the guests when all were seated
was the menu card, which was taking
novelty. 1t was typewriter on legal cap
and was in the regular legal form of an
order of the court. On the back was the
