City Attorney Kern yesterday submitted
his brief to Judge feathers in the suit Of
James W. Taylor against the Board of
Safety 10 test the right of that board to
deduct pay from the salaries OF firemen for
weekly vacation days. He contends that
the board has precedence over the City
Council In regulating the salaries of police
men and firemen, and says il would be as
logical to say the board cannot fine firemen
for neglect of duty. IL is said there are
hfty-six suits now in the hands of at
torneys awaiting the decision in this case.

does away with small school nous

JAPANESE TOP SPINNING.
A Deft and Clever People Who DO Al
most Everything Well.

Those deft and clever people, the
japanese do almost everything they
attempt we'll, and some things they do
better than any other people In the
world. OF the latter sort top spinning
is one. The tops are OF great variety,
both in size and construction. The
largest is more than a foot In diam
cter and proportionately heavy Some
are solid. others contain flock or
little ones that fly out when the top
is lifted. and spin away by themselves.
Others pull in spiral or ladder OF
successive tops One draws up into a
| lantern, and spins cheerily In that
| form. The methods of spinning are
| almost beyond description. Even a
very large top is sometimes thrown as
| the Australian casts the boomerang, so
that while it appears to be going
! straight toward the head of the spec
| tatOr it returns TO the throwcr and is
caught on his palm. When it arrives
/ thus the performer takes II by the
/ spindle, apparently stops it, sets 1t
| down and it recommences. Turn ii up
| side down and it proceeds just as mer-
riIy on its irons spiked head. The spin
ners balance it on any kind OF surface
round or fiat on the edge OF fan, the
sharpcst Japanese sword, along thin
cord. and after some moments OF I'M
concerned spinning there it is tossed
on the table, with apparent careless
/ ness. when it goes on working, uneN'
haustcd and inexhaustible. One of the
most delicate performances consists IN
spinning a top in the left hand, up the
left arm round the edge OF the lone
at the back OF the neck and down the
other arm into the palm OF the righ'
hand, Another is to toss 1t spinning
into the air and catch il on the hen
of the $ We, whence II runs dowr
into the h nd A third is to fling II III
and catch it on the bowl OF pipe, pass
II behind the back, toss II to the from
and there catch II again. A large
heavy top Is sometimes set In motor
by rolling the peg in the blight OF
cord one end being held in each hand
then flung ten or twenty feet In al
and caught with the same cord, spin
ming always, This can be done tel
times in succession. But the mos
wonderful display consists In sending
top spinning up rope TO the hea'
Of o mast, and then recalling It,

the old regime Il special grand jury

Hughes. All were highly lauda
tory of the great man who enjoys
Il place in the American heart but
little inferior to that of Washing
ton or Lincoln.
John Marshall's life was the en-
bodiment of success. He won his
fame and promotion to honor by
rugged honesty and intense energy.
He had no collegiate education
was a self-made man. He served
as Chief Justice for 81 years, and,
tho he was Fedcralist, yet not of
the strictest type, and loved ITO
contemplate the national govern.
ment rs strong, bright and com
pact us IA diamond yet it has been
observed that no political party,
in his day or since, ever proclaim
ed or held tcncts or doctrines in
consistent with the principles of
his many judgments of constitu-
tional law.
He served on the bench from
1901 to his death i'll 1888. Mel
vile W. Fuller, now Chief Justice,
says Of him:
"lIc kept himself ut the front
on all constitutional law, and con
scqucntly his master hand is seen
in every ease which involved that
subject. AT the same time he and
his co. workers, whose names are,
some of them, almost ms familiar
rs his own, were engaged i'll laying
deep and strong the foundation on
which the jurisprudence of this
country has since been built.
Hardly n day now passes, in the
court he so dignified and adorned,
without reference to some decision
of his time as establishing Il prln-
ciplc which, from that day to this,
has been accepted AS undoubted
law.
I'VE see him in the discharge of
all his duties of exalted Office, i'll
the walks of private life, with II
buoyant spirit, playful temper
ament, and with Il zcst which he
showed in enjoying the pleasures
of the table or club. Numerous
personal incidents are narrated in
illustration of the simplicity of his
character; but there is none more
striking than the fact that tn,
head of the most powerful tribunal
on earth never retired to rest with
out repeating the Lords prayer
and the lines commencing, Now
] lay me down to sleep. AS the
years pass, the form of this grea
man continues to shine with uudi
minished luster, and SO it will con
tinue until the firm ament whence
beam the glories of Tribonian an'

field, is rolled together like
