DISTRICT COURT SESSIONS.

" he SENTINEL, in a recent issue
contained an article calling at
tention to the fact that the members
Of the Humboldt county, Nevada, bar
had held a meeting a short time pre-
vious at Winnemucca and appointed a
committee to wait upon Judge Bonni-
field OF that judicial district with the
request that he in future hold regular
terms-of Court in Humboldt county.
The SENTINEL also stated that the re-
quest had been Immediately granted.
1t then suggested that a system SINH
lar to the one inaugurated in Humboldt
ought to prevail in Eureka county.
The article in question further stated
that the people living in the interior
of Eureka county, having Court mat
tiers to attend to, never knew when
Court would be in session, or whether
it would remain in session long enough
for them to transact their business. Ii
also called attention to the fact that
this county was paying twice as much
OF the salary OF the District Judge as
the other two counties, Lander and
Nye, combined. The SENTINEL be-
lieved then, as it does now, that the
article voices the sentiment OF nine
tenths Of the taxpayers and people OF
this county who have Court business
to attend to occasionally.
In referring to these different mat
ters, it was not the intention OF the
SENTINEL to reflect in the slightest de-
gree on the manner in which Judge
Jones conducts business when he holds
a session OF Court here. On the con-
trary, our observations lead us to the
conclusion that he endeavors to push
matters to a conclusion as quickly as
possible. That the Judge is often han
dicapped in clearing the calendar is
also fact. A representative of the
SENTINEL was present when the recent
term OF the District Court convened
here on the 18th instant, and he car
bear witness to the fact that of all the
cases on the calendar called up, moi
one was ready to proceed to trial
Counsel in each case made one excuse
or another and asked for a continuace,
which was granted.

Are French Latins or CeIts?

In connection with the recent visit
Of the Italian fleet to Toulon there
have been many references in the
European press to a renewal of the
entente cordiale between two Latin"
nations. 1t may be of some interest to
inquire in what sense the term Latin"
can be correctly applied to the French,
whom, almost in the same breath,
many people are apt to describe as
"Celtic" people One thing surely is
certain, that in blood the French cau-
not be at the same time both Latin
and Celtic" Yet the inconsistency
does not seem to strike people.
think that, although outside Pro
vence the French have little or no
Latin. e., Italian-blood in their
viens, the explanation of their being
described as a Latin" race is to be
found in the fact that their language
and civilization are both Latin. It
seems no longer permissible to hold
that the French are mainly Celtic" in
blood. the view being now generally
accepted that the bulk of the popula-
ton in France is of a pre-Celtic, and
probably of Iberian or Lugurian, stock.
And this view seems to hold good also
of Ireland and Wales.-The Spectator.

THE BLACK BULL.
Another Of the HoIborn Inns to be De-
molished.

Of stage coaches there were few
their starting places and their termi-
nj would have disappeared earlier but
for the fact that the old coaching pas
sengers made them their hostelries
long after they adopted railways as
better means of travelling The Black
Bull, Holborn, is one of the last sur
vivors, and now that house too, is
doomed. 1t is strange that it las lived
so long when the nature of the trade
by which it was maintained has SO en-
tirely changed. 1t has taken so years
to accomplish it's downfall.
The Black Bull was. established
about 260 years ago, and from it for
very many years the stage coaches
which journied to the eastern counties
started. Every morning punctuaIly at
10 o'clock the Cambridge coach depart
ed. The house was fine specimen of
the old fashioned inn, with a gallery
outside the first floor, over the yard
which the wings inclosed, in that re-
spect resembling the famous Talbot
inn, in the Borough, and the Four
Swans, Bishopsgate. For many years,
however, this courtyard has not
formed part of the inn, and the rooms
in which so many generations of
travellers have slept have been let out |
for lodgings. In the old days of Hol- |
born Valley, with Snow Hill rising in |
the east and Holborn hill on the west,
when drag had to be placed on omni-
bus wheels for the descent and the
steepnesS of the road killed many a
brave horse, the Black Bull stood on
the rise, but the making of the viaduct
brought the roadway to a level with
the inn. One curious custom was long
observed, many a last glass of ale be-
ing supplied from the house to con-
demned criminals on their way to
Tyburn-their final privilege in this
world 1t is not unlikely that a new
hotel may be built on the site of this
century house: whether it :
will retain the black and gold bull for
z sign remains to be seen. :
Near by the Black Bull once stood
he Old Bell Inn, a famous coaching
louise, established in 1921. Its gal
cried courtyard was one Of the sights t
which attracted American visitors to
he hosiery. It fell a victim to the e

housebreaker in 1899. The Horse and
Groom in Leather Lane demolished IN
1898, was not so ancient as the Old
Bell, nor was it's reputation so high
possibly because OF frequent visits
paid to the place by the notorious JON
athan Wild.
The most important of the Holborn
coaching houses was the George and
Blue Boar, which formerly stood on
the site now occupied by the inns of
Court hotel. 1t was in the courtyard
OF this house that the famous letters
OF Charles | TO Queen Henrietta Maria
which brought the monarch to his
doom, was intercepted by Cromwell
and Ireton. At least the Earl of Or
rey's state papers mention the Blue
Boar as the place where the letter was
found in saddle. although there are
some authorities who declare the Old
Bell to have been the place where the
theft of the document was made.

GRANITE FOR BRITAIN.
Stone Furnihed for Less Than Cost of
Scotch Article.

ROckland, Me-, July 14-An innova-
ton in the granite industry Of Maine,
the Importance of which can hardly be
estimated, and which marks an era
in the granite trade all over the
country, will be introduced here
shortly. A cargo of granite will be
shipped in August from the quarries
Of Crotch and Moose islands, Stoning-
ton and Hurricane islands, to Liver
pool. This will be the first cargo Of
American granite ever shipped to any
European port, and will be laid down
in Liverpool at 81 a ton, or S1.25 a ton
less than Scotch granite can be sup
piled.
England has become alarmed over
the scarcity of building stone, the
Scotland quarries being almost de-
nuded, and able only to supply small
dimensions quarried at great depth.
English builders have lately been
importing stone from Sweden and
Russia, at considerable cost. The
first cargo will consist of nearly 5000
tons, and will be loaded direct at
tidewater.
