Judges Salary Bill.

John G. Johnson, of Philadelphia,
one of the highest legal authorities in
Pennsylvania, declares that the bill
passed by the last Legislature increas-
ing the salaries Of Judges of County
and State courts, applies to all Judges
IN office at present, as well as in fu-
ture. The question regarding the
provisions of the law has been much
discussed, and it was generally held to
apply to Judges elected subsequent to
its enactment.
Mr.. Johnson is of the opinion tina
the article of the State constitution
which makes it imperative upon the
State Legislature to provide adequate
compensation, for the judges of the
different courts refers to the present
case rather than that article, which
says that no salary of a public officer
can be increased during his term.
The question is, SIS a Judge a public
officer in the sense referred to IN the
constitution?
Ifthe judges, who are experienced
on the bench, cannot be benefited by
the recent law Mr.. Johnson is of the
opinion that the present law puts a
premium on the inexperienced judge.

THE THREE SHAM ROCKS.
Dealers viii! Take Metals of Second but
First and Third in Market.

Captains Barr and Miller, who re-
Gently purchased the Shamrock ii for
the purpose of breaking her up, have
taken the necessary steps to thus dis
pose of the challenger of 1901.
Contracts have peen made with
dealers to take the old metals as they
may be delivered, and the house that
was over the deck has been removed,
that the work of breaking NJ may be-
gin a nee.
The owners Of the Erie Basin yard
want the yachts out of the way as
soo as possible. They will haul the
Shamrock III. out at the same place
and in doing so will use the cradle
the Shamrock ii. now rests in. The
same old house that covered the deck
of the latter will also protect the deck
Of the last challenger.
The Shamrock I. has not yet been
sold. Of the various reported offers
made for her only one, it is said, was
in good faith, and the yachtsmen that
submitted it really intended to change
her into a schooner, if it did not cost
too much to do so. This offer, it is
believed, was rejected because it was
much below what Sir Thomas Upton
thought the craft was worth.
The belief is gaining ground that
not only will the Shamrock 1 follow
the Shmrock Ii into the yards of old
metal dealers, but that in time the
Shamrock III will be disposed of in
the same way. Rumor has it that
from $50, 900 to $40, 900 Is being asked
for the latter, as she now lies, spars,
rigging, canvas and all fittings in
clue ed, but these figures have SO
startled the few American yachtsmen
who have felt that she might be turn
ed into a cruiser without an enormous
outlay that they have either retired
into the background or disappeared
altogether.
