RELIEF OF SUPREME COURT.
Statistics Given Showing Results OF
Appointment of Commissioners to
Aid Florida Tribunal.

Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 1.-THE Flor
ida Supreme Court has of late been
subjected to so much criticism, some
of which has obviously been unjust,
and much of which has clearly come
from sources where accurate inforna-
ton is evidently not at a premium,
that the following data, compiled from
the records of the tribunal by the
chief clerk, may prove instructive.
1t should perhaps be said. in explana-
ton that the last legislature author
lied the appointment of three COM
missioners to assist the Su-
preme Court justices in the
performance of their duties. These
commissioners, Messrs. Hooker
Maxwell and Glenn-were duly APP
pointed by the court; and at the next
general election, in pursuance of the
same line of policy, a constitutional
amendment, increasing the number of
justices from three to six, is to come
before the people for ratification or re-
lection.
1t is, in the meantime, contended by
some that the entire system upon
which the court proceeds is radically
wrong, and that until that system is
changed for the better, neither COM
missions nor an enlarged judiciary can
materially expedite the business of the
tribunal.
The following comparison, however,
tells quite another story. 1t shows that
the commission has, in fact, materially
accelerated the speed of this legal mill.
and that nearly so per cent. more cases
have been disposed of, in one way or
another, since the appointment of the
three commissioners.

and the public in general. They
all return sincere thanks. When
he Is called from time to eternity

we will turn our column rules up
side down and maybe we will sus-

Thompson always had many warm
friends In this city but everybody
likes him now. Our people will
not soon forget his great kindness.
Miss Edith Moore, as leading
lady In the play, performed her
part In a very satisfactory way.
She knew her part we'll and pleased
every body In the large audience.
She Is bright young lady and a
creGit to her teachers.
Miss Eva Wright, In the part Of
a maiden of some fifty summers and
forty-nine winters, was glittering
success.
Miss Maude Stroll, as the moth
er of Seventy children" was one
of the good characters In the play.
She acted her part to perfection.
Manager Doyle, of the Audito.
rum, acted his difficult part in a
most satisfactory way. He gave
general satisfaction last night and
the part he played Is generally
spoken of In complimentary terms.
Art Sutherland, as a father of a
beautiful daughter of marriageble
age, had a difficult piece to per.
form, but he performed 1t with ease
and In a very satisfactory way. If
he runs for collector as we'll as he
can act, he will "get there Eli"
Harry Blackmarr Is whole show
himself. In personal appearance
last night, Harry was not a beaut,
but he acted his part SO well that
compliments were showered upon
him in profusion. His part was one
of the features OF the evening.
Mr.. Bevins acted his part as we'll
as could an experienced actor, and
his part was we'll rendered.
Mr.. Smith, Our young plumber,
as man who shutters. was fine.
He had a difficult part TO perform,
but he went through 1t to the de-
light of che audience. His make
up was also a masterpiece In the
profession. He Is all right.
Mr.. G. K. Williams, as valet, was
a success. We never saw a pro.
tessional that excelled him. He
was all right.
Of course the successful way In
which each character performed his
or her part Is due almost wholly to
the careful drilling of Mr.. Thomp-
son. How that man has worked.
We are therefore glad such a large
audience attended last night as 1t
shows the publics appreciation of
his work. The audience was all
more than delighted. The only
complaint was that there ought to
have been more of 1t.
The next exercise will be the
bacalaureat sermon which will be
preached In the Auditorium In May
by DR.. Frank Tslmage, SON of the
we'll known DR.. Talmage. On the
evening of May goth the class Of
'o2, seventeen in number will de-
