 Attorney o'Neill Quoted Supreme Court as Authority.
 l The practice of a deputy judge | pleading in his own court was given 1 another kick in the district court this l morning, and the supreme court was quoted as the basis for the legality of 1 the Kick this time. The jury comes in
 next week in the district court, civil
 side, and DeputyJudge Peasley has number of cases on the trial list. This 1 morning at short calendar when as- l slgnments were being made for the 1 jury, Attorney O'Neill gave notice to Judge Cowell who presided that he would object to Deputy Judge Peas 1 ley trying any cases in which himself appeared as counsel. MT O'Neill | quoted the supreme court as the au- thority justifying him for making the 1 objection He said it would not be l fair to the opposing counsel to permit deputy judge of the court to try 1 case to the jury. His influence as 1 judge of the court upon the jury would 1 not permit of a fair trial and injustice could not fail to be the result l Judge Lowe and Attorney Kennedy, 1 who are counsel in cases in which 1 Judge Peasley is interested, also gave l similar notice to the court, So that it I is evident there will be music in the | district court next week if Deputy
 Judge Peasley insists upon having his cases tried.
 This matter has long been source of considerable annoyance in the dis 1 trict court. Attorney Kendrick brought it to the attention of the supreme court few years ago during the early
 stages of the case of Ashborn against
 the town of Waterbury. Mir Ken ] drick objected to Deputy Judge Brad street appearing in the case before
 the jury. Judge Cowell was on the
 bench and while he noted the excep- lions of Mir Kendriek he allowed his
 assistant to proceed in the case. The
 supreme court eventually got the case and gave the practice complained of
 this morning by the above named at
 torneys severe blow. 1t had the eff feet of inducing Deputy Judge Brad street to resign

Gave Him Little Reception Tester
 day After His Three Months Illness.
 Ex-Senator ". L. Hall, who has been on the sick list for the past three months, but whose condition has i'm proved so as to render little outdoor exercise beneficial, was held up yes terday afternoon and escorted to the banquet room Of the ,Abagadasset club on Bank street. where number of his friends and associates gathered about him and expressed their pleasure at seeing him on the road %S recovery. Among those present were City Attor. ney John P, Kellogg, Hon F. F. Cross, ex-Mayor Thomas D. Barlow, Fl, T. Stednan, F. O.. Peabody, J. Merrick Gallond. Postmaster J. H. Guernsey and D. M. Davis. The party spent a couple of hours talking over one thing or another. when all went their sev- eraleways expressing the hope that MT Hall will soon be resfore0 to his for mer health, The affair was gotten up to give some of the senator's per sonal friends. who had not seen him since he was taken, sick and who feared to disturb him by calling at his residence, an opportunity to meet him during the time allowed for his daily exercise. MT Hall is improving and will soon have regained sufficient strength to warrant him in taking a trip south.

 The address delivered by fudge Burr from the bench in the police court on Monday morria.y has attracted eonsid erable attention throlestlout Connccti- cut and states nearn says the New Britain Herald Judge Burr said yes- terday the reports Of his address have been distorted in some out of town ra- pers and that a meaning other than that which he intended has been ta- ken from his remarks. The claim which he says has been made that he denounced God is not true. While his remarks may have implied q loss of faith in the Deity he did not Intend any such meaning. He has elldeay- ored to correct this impression by re- plying to some of the letters he has received in regard to his utterances.
 The judge said yesterday that his mail during the last few days has been greatly increased and that he has been the recipient of epistles from nu- nnerous Christian Scientists in various places who wish him to embrace their faith. He has also received letter from a man in New Jersey who said that he was depressed in spirit once himself like Judge Burr. but that he is better now. He advised the judge to get religion. Just then the letter carrier came in with another bundle of mail. The judge looked at it, picked out big red book from the top of the pile. looked at the cover, smiled, passed it over to the Herald man who read on the cover From Hell to Heav- en-

What Christ Teaches About Trust
Matt. vi, 1874.

Few soldiers even among those who have seen
the fercest campaigning. have faced horrible
deaths so often and unfinchingly as the mis-
sionary, John G. Patton. The secret or his cour-
age Is his unfalterng trust in God. 81 never
could say" Patton declares that on such occa-
sions was entirely without fear. STILL I was
never left without hearing that promise in ell
its consoling and supporting power coming I'D
through the darkness and the anguish, Io am
with you Away"
George Macdonald truly says that Ito be
trusted Is greater compliment than 10 be
loved" This whole hearted trust is the deepest
honor we can pay Jehovah. God wants to trust
us. and He knows that He cannot trust us un-
less we trust Him. His honor His pleasure and
His designs for action are all waiting for our
confidence in Him.
Sturgeon tells how he came to repose this trus,
in God He carrying on his Pastors Col
lege and was reduced the last dollar for its
support. In this emergency a lady whose name
he never even knew sent him thousand dollars
to use in the work. The great preacher declared:
Il threw myself then and henceforth upon the
bounteous of the Lord"
Such confidence in God may be gained by
any one who will simply take God at His word
and pray with faith-filled heart for definite
desires, definite deliverances and definite assist
ance. There is helpful sentence in Gold
Dust" AS carefully a mother arranges a
room where her children will pass the day does
GOD prepare each hour that opens before me"

The winter time departeth;
The early flowers expand;
The black bird and the turtle dove
Are heard throughout the land.
The sadness OF the winter.
Which gloomed our hearts, is gone:
A thousand signs betoken
That spring time comes anon.
IT'S spring time in our bosoms:
All strife aside we cast;
The storms were for the winter DAYS
But they are gone and past.
Before us lies the spring time
Thank God-the time OF mirth.
When birds are singing In the trees
And flowers gem all the earth
When a thousand busy hands upturn
The bounteous, fruitful mold.
And the heart OF every poet feels
More love than IL can hold

GARMENTS FOR NEEDY ONES.
Distribution Made Today by Needle
work Guild of America.

The District of Columbia branch of the
Needlework Guild of America is conducting
today Its annual distribution of garments
and household linen to the needy OF this
city at Carroll Hall, on G street between
9th and 10th streets northwest. The object
of the guild, which is national in scope as
suggested by its name, is to distribute new,
plain and suitable garments to meet the
needs of hospitals, homes and other chart
ties. The national organization was found
ed in 1885 and the local branch in 1897, in
Georgetown. The annual contribution Of
two or more articles Of wearing apparel or
household linen or the donation of money
constitutes membership in the guild and
men. women and children may become
members.
The articles for distribution this fall were
gathered yesterday afternoon, and the local
officers have been spending the day in the
hall on 9th street experimenting the send
ing out of lots to various places of whose
need they have been made aware Twelve
hundred articles will be distributed in all,
including some of almost every description.
Everything is being delivered at the ex-
pense of the guild according to It's custom
The following are the officers of the local
branch: Miss Anna Abbott, president

1896 as the candidate of the republican
NOW democratic) party, but was defeated
by Adams, who received II votes. He was
again a candidate in 1900 and 1904 and
elected.
John Quincy Adams received one electoral
vote in 1920, 81 votes in 1924 and SO in 1888,
being elected in 1924 by the House Of Repre-
sentatives.
OF course, in the above instances party
lines We're not drawn as now, but each was
a presidential candidate.
More to the point, however is the case OF
Andrew Jackson, who was an unsuccessful
candidate in 1894, when he received 80 votes
in the electoral college, but was defeated in
the House. He was the successful candi-
date four and eight years later, in 1928 and
1882.
Martin Van Buren, was elected President
in 1885 and defeated for reelection in 1910,
both times running as a democrat. the lat
ter time receiving 60 votes in the electoral
college. He was again defeated in 1S4S,
when as the free soil candidate he did not
receive an electoral vote.
Mr.. Clevelands record is unique In that
his three nominations resulted in an cleo
ton, a defeat and election, respectively,
but not in the number of his candidates..
