of which in particular the imperial government
wishes TO call the attention of foreign manufact-
urers and of the industrial public in general. That
is the establishment of special building for sam

the hnaI order sustaining the demurrer In that
action should be affirmed without costs n either
party.
The effect Of the decision OF the Court Of Ap-
peals is 10 turn out of Office Jacob Brennsr the
Commissioners OF Jurors for Kings County ap-
pointed by the Appellate Division OF the Suprems
Court. The decision also restores 10 once Com
missioner William E. Melody who was lesslaled
out by the law now declared 10 be Unconstitutional
and imperative.
In New-York County the effect OF the decision
will be keep Charles welde in ONCE as Corrnis-

by Mayor Low. When the action in the courts was
begun IN the Brooklyn case the Appellate Division
of the supreme Court in New-York County re-
Trained from making appointment OF a Com
missioner OF Jurors, allowing Mr.. Welde, who was
appointed by the Mayor, 70 hold over. II IN
derstood that, IL the law transferring the power OF
appointing a Commissioner OF Jurors from the
Mayor 10 the Appellate Division declared valid
and constitutional by the Court OF Appeals the
Appellate Division would proceed Immediately 10
appoint successor 10 Mr.. Welde.
The same law leg aIed Office Henry Win
