extraneous circumstances or demands
Such a Judge in time receives the
commendation of the very people who
endeavor to sway him from the path
Of duty.
Courtesy and good manners are
some Of the qualifications Of a judge.
It is a matter of regret that some
judges when they are taken from the
ranks of the members Of the Bar and
elevated to a judicial position seem to
think that in manners, rough and un-
couth conduct enhances their stand
ing with the Bar. This is a grievous
mistake on the part of a judge. Bad
manners are never justiiable. A
Judge who insults a member Of the
Bar, without cause or provocation. is
no gentleman A Judge who humili-
ates a member of the Bar in the pres
ence Of a jury and the spectators in
court room is a coward at heart and
poltroon. A judge who. takes ad-
vantage of.hi position to browbeat an
attorney practicing before him and
conducts himself in a manner he
would not dare do outside of his court
room is the most despicable Of crea.
lures. A judge who viii wantonly

the Bar is unworthy and a menace to
the proper practice of the law 1t

and affabllity. He endeavors to i'm.
press the laymen with the idea that
he is the most considerate Of men,
when his Unborn lack Of consideration
for his fellows is the most conspicu.
Gus element of his character.
A Judge to be a thoroughly compe-
tent one should not be case lawyer
alone, but well grounded in the ele-
mentary principles of the law. He
should be a broad and high-minded
gentleman with a knowledge Of the
interior motives and promptings of
human nature. Learned in the law
is not sufficient. It often happens
that persons who are well grounded
in the law are very impracticable, and
not a success in their chosen calling
on account Of their lack Of insight into
the affairs of men.
The judges of our courts should be
learned in the law. honorable gentle
men, considerate of their fellows and
good judges of human nature. They
should never be affected in any re.
spect by any influence. except a de-
sire to interpret the law as indicated
by a preponderance of the authori-
ties and their consciences dictate
They should ever remember that 1t
requires but little effort to be courte-

judges. they have the good will of the
Bar II a Judge is not by nature a
gentleman and considerate Of the feel
ings Of the members Of the Bar. no
amount OF veneering can change the
real character OF such a man. It is
a calamity to all interested parties TO
have such a person permitted to pre-
side over a court. II is a misfortune
TO litlgants as well as the members Of
the Bar. when a tyrant holds sway in
court room and tramples upon the
rights of clients as well as the dearest
privileges of the members OF the legal
profession.

Jeffries Won't Fight Negroes.

There is an effort under way to have Jim
Jeffries fight in San Francisco before the
summer comes again. Yesterday Joe Eagan,
the champions business manager, who is in
New York. received dispatch from the
matchmaker of the Colma A. c., a new ath-
letic club in San Francisco. offering a purse
of $4,000 for a twenty-round bout between
Jeffries and Sam McVey, the big Califor-
MIA negro. The organization wants to hold
the combat within the next four months,
and is willing to allow a tidy sum to JEFF
fries for expenses Eagan promptly turned
the offer over to .Jeffries, who said without
much hesitation that he would not con-
slider it.
Il have made up my mind never to fight
a negro again, as long there are white
men in the field" he said. Then, again,
McFey is not to be regarded a champion
ship possibility. His last fight resulted in a
defeat by Jack Johnson. The latter is a lit
tie fellow compared to McVey, SO 1 don't
see where he figures at all am and have
always been ready to defend my title, but I
owe something to the public, as well as my
friends. by meeting a man who is worthy
of consideration. 1 guess l have done all
that has been asked of me so far. If Nc
Vey is anxious to fight why doesn't he meet
some of those near his class? That's all
there is to it,
Jeffries intends to remain in New York
for about ten days. Then he will go on the
road for the rest of the season. He has re-
ceived a liberal offer to go to England but
has refused it.

Chevy Chase Hunt.

The Chevy Chase hounds will inaugurate
their season this year with new depart
ure. Beginning with the close of the race
meeting at Baltimore on November II there
will be a series of early morning live fox
hunts three times a week for the fortnight
ending on the 25th On Thanksgiving day
the season of drag hunting will commence,
and in addition to the regular two drags it
is proposed to have one day of live fox
hunting each week throughout the entire
winter.
The twenty-five hunters belonging to Mr..
Clarence Moore, NJ. F. H; together with
the hounds, have all been brought from
Clinton, Mass, where they spent the sum-
mer, as usual and are now at the kennels
at Chevy Chase. The pack which was i'm
ported from the Bolderness kennels, York
shire, is in splendid condition and has been
considerably increased by a number of
hounds of the Hunts own breeding.
Robert Curran, the huntsman, and Cooley
and George Curran, the whips are ac-
knowledSed to be the best turned-out hunt
servants in America and have the advan-
tage of being mounted on Mr.. Moore's su-
peru string of hunters, which captured al
most every blue ribbon offered in the
heavyweight classes last year. Kooh-i-

pionships and is distinguished by the proud
title of the unbeaten champion of 1872 -

quently as before.
With an open winter and fair weather the
lovers of hunting can look forward to even
better sport than has always characterized
the runs of the famous Chevy Chase
hounds.

TO AID THE REvoLUTIoNIsTs.
War Material Collected at New Orleans
for Panama.

A dispatch to the New York Sun from
New Orleans yesterday says: The intended
secession of Panama from the republic of
Colombia has been known for some time to
business houses here engaged in Central
American trade. The secessionists have
been we'll organized and raised a consider
able sum for the contemplated movement.
They laid in stock of 10000 rifles and
sec, 600 worth of ammunition.
Several New Orleans houses were asked
for contributions and a desire was shown
to purchase steam yacht or other vessel
here to be used as gunboat. The Central
Americans in New Orleans are generally
friendly to the revolution. The opinion
among them and those who know the 18TH
mus is that the revolution will be a sue
cess, as it is almost impossible for Colom-
tia to march an army overland to the 18TH
mus. the country being wild and fever
stricken. and it is without the fleet neces-
sary for a sea attack.
Five hundred men at Panama and $50 at
Colon could easily hold the isthmus against
an army of 10000. All the rich men on the
isthmus are in favor of the revolution ard
have put up money to assure its success.

ONLY One Defender.

Only one man among all the council de-
Tended Columbus. That was the prior OF
the Dominicans, Father Diego de Deza,
who was also professor of theology at the
university 1t was probably his influence
that prevented the monks from ordering
the old sailor before the grand inquisitor
for blasphemy, but he was not sufficiently
influential to secure an Endorsement of his
project. He comforted him as best he
could however, and after the decision was
rendered took him to Valcuebo, farm in
the vicinity of Salamanca belonging to the
Dominicans, and kept him there for more
than a year. This was a peaceful period
in the stormy life Of the great discoverer,
and there he was allowed to recover from
his disappointment and chagrin. In the
center of the farm Is small hill called
"IIl teso de Colon" (the peak of Columbus),
where, 1t is said, he used to pass long hours
in solitude. The present owner of the es-
tate. Don Martin de Soils, has erected a
stone pyramid, surmounted by globe, on
the top of this hill, to commemorate it's as
sociations 1t was in acknowledgment of
the hospitality of Father Deza that Column
bus sent him a part of the gold brought
home on his first voyage to decorate the
altar of the convent chapel
Looking out of the car windows today,
saw an old monk astride a donkey, ambling
slowly along the dusty road, his feet almost
touching the ground. He wore the frock Of
Franciscan, made, of heavy. coarse. red
dish-brown wool, and upon his head was a
little cap of the same material about as big
as a coffee saucer, which covered only the
back of his head. His bare feet were pro-
tected by sandals, strip Of cowhide under
the soles fastened by thongs around the
ankles and straps over the toes. I remem-
bered that AT years ago Columbus came to
Salamanca on the same kind of a convey
ance over the same dusty road, clad in a
similar garb, for he, too, was Franciscan,
and 1 thought how tired and thirsty he
must have been.
