STICKS TO OLD CUSTOMS.
The Supreme Court of the United
States Is Welded to las
Traditions.

The supreme court of the United
States does business on an Anticipated
plan. While it undoubtedly is the most
digniiied body of men in this country,
if not in the world, it has its peculiari-
ties, and they are striking ones, says
the indianapolis Sentinel One of the
traditions of the court prevents news
paper correspondents from attending
the sessions of the court in their pro-
fessional capacity. Provision is made
for representative of each of the
great press associations, but the CORE
spondents nave to push and crowd in
behind the rear railing with the hun
dreds of other spectators. Usually
they have to stand up, and if they are
seen taking notes an attendant escorts
them to the door. The result is that
the 200 or more correspondents have to
depend on their memory for their re-
ports of proceedings in the supreme
courtroom.
There is another custom of the court
which prevents correspondents from
seeing the opinions handed down until
they have secured authority from the
Judges who severally deliver them
from the bench. This authority is not
always given, the judge exercising his
own discretion about it. Not infre-
quently the correspondent has to go
to the home of the judge to get the
written authority, and perhaps by the
time he gets back to the capitol the Of
flee of the clerk of the court is closed.

MOONSHINERS OF FRANCE.
Hundreds OF Thousands of Families
Distili Liquors for Household
Consumption.

The recent agitation Of the bouil-
lcurs de cru, or private distillers, Of
France, against the proposals Of NJ.
Eouvier, the minister of finance, to
tax their franchise has disclosed the
immense power of this vested interest
among the peasantry. 1t is estimated
that no fewer than .0O0,00 to 800 900
families avail themselves of the privi-
lege to distill from the pears, apples,
damsons and cherries of their orchards
spirituous liquors for household CON
sumption, says London paper. But
as every hectoliter Of nonexcmpt liquor
worth, perhaps, some S10-is taxed
to the tune of $44, there is every induce
ment to the enterprsing peasant to
distill more than his household can
consume, in order to do an Illicit bust
ness with his neighbor, and in this way
some $30,000,0O0 to 10000 900 per an
mum escapes the treasury. In the or
chard land Of Normandy the privately
distilled liquor is, indeed, quite a rec
ognized medium Of Exchange, and the
bouilleur de cru often pays his work
men, his tailor, his butcher, and his
land in terms of alcohol.

GIRL OUTWITS WASHER.
Pestlferous Dandy Mt Paris Is Handed
Ten Cents by Bright Amer
lean Tourist,

American women who complain of
the annoyance OF professional mash
crs in the streets of Paris might profit
from the experience of bright Amer
lean girl.
She was walking along in the day
time, accompanied by another girl, and
noticed man following her. An idea
struck her. Reaching in her purse,
she found small piece of white paper,
then looked around shyly.
The masher encouraged, caught up
and grasped at the paper she had i'm
her hand. Instead, however, of re-
ceiving the little note, evidently ex-
pected he found himself clutching two
francs (ten cents). Needless to say,
be did not follow further.

CHAPTER XII.

So rapid has been the growth Of OPP
position to the policies Of Washington's
| administration that it was only by what
Hamilton called "a kind of miracle" that
he did not receive his rebu6e at the
| next election. Had Thomas Jefferson
been our second president, owing his
success. as he would have done. to his
disapproval Of the federalist measures,
| history would have been compelled to
say that Washington retired from office
under vote of censure
Aided by all the advantages of patron
age, position. and Washington's over
| shadowing influence John Adams de-
| feated Thomas jefferson by only votes.
! and these were due to some accidental
| circumstances.
| A more pathetic figure than Adams dur
ing the four years of his presidency has
seldom been seen in that high office.
An approved patriot, a man of great
ability and experience. he entered upon
his duties heavily handicapped by his
surroundings and by the inflrmties OF
his own character Mr. Adams was
| learned, honest and capable. but his van
| ity. jealousy, lrrita bility amounted al
most to monomania. His situation was
even worse than his temper for the
election had shown that he was prac-
tlcally the president of minority To
make his lot peculiarly wretched, this
minority was factious. 1t worshiped

in which federalism bowed to its diyini-
ties
Besides all this. Adams inherited the
complications Washington had made,
without succeeding to Washington's ca
pacity to deal with them
The woes Of our second president began
with his Inauguration. On that day, when
ali right-minded people should have wor-
SHIPPED the rising sun, Adams they had

Adams, The ingoing president would
have been more than human had he not
been hurt; and being just human, he suf-
fered.
This, however. was trivial and tempo
rary; Washington would go to Mount Yer
non, and Philadelphia would then belong
to president Adams Such would have
been the case had not Adams himself or
dered otherwise. Making the mistake
which doomed him, he took Washingtons
cabinet just as he found it, thus saddling
himself with councillors who had grown
accustomed to the dctation of Hamilton
Fastened in this way to policies and to
advisers which he could not control tha
