 Judge Senn Talks.
 While the decision Is somewhat of a surprise to me" said Judge Charles A. senn, T am pleased that it was rendered at this time Under it there will be no change from the present court system for at least four years. It would have been indeed unfortunate if this question had been postponed until cases had been de- cided under the new law. It Is gratifying In that 1t shows the strength of the pro- visions of the new constitution in limiting local legislation"
 Samuel D. Weakley, who was with Judge senn at the time he made this statement. endorsed his Ideas.
 The Clerks.
 Another matter of interest resulting from the decision is that the clerk of the city court and the register in chancery Will be appointed by the senior judge of The city court and the chancellor respec- lively as in the past Under the new law they were to have been elected.
 The clerk of the circuit court has al- ways been elected but the clerk of the city court was appointlve. Under the new law the position of clerk of the city court was abolished and the office of clerk of the chancery division of the circuit court of Jefferson county included both that office and that of register in chancery. Dr. J. s. Gilespy was the nominee for this new position. Under the decision Just rendered there will be clerk of the circuit court. a clerk of the city court and a register in chancery

Death has not saved Whistler from the futile
attentions Of his friends" Tho controversy In
London over the absence of any work of his In the
Nhantrey collection drags It's slow length along
with faulty calculated TO make the famous
painter turn in his grave Certain Of the friends
aforesaid. who dream OF repairing what they con-
sioer scandalous omission and a "national dis
grace have taken 1t into their heads that one
way or arousing public interest is to expose the
oastardly misconduct of those who. when Whistler
was alive. might have honored him by placing one
OF his pictures in the Tate Gallery and failed to
co their duty. The Academican Is of course taken
TO be The head and front OF all offending In this
matter, and poor Mr.. George H. Boughton is IN
particular called to account he having been care
less enough OF his peace Of mind to say things in
print about his old friend which the seIf-eIected
champions Of the latter batten upon with ghoulish
giee The whole business is disgusting.
II Whstier's hysterical friends not careful
they Will presently have convinced the world that
he must have been. after all. a poor stick who
failed in the course of long life to make cred
itabe place for himself in the world. They brand
ism their arms about and shrek scorn upon all
ana sunory behaving though Whistler might
have lived and died obscure If they had not hap
pened to discover and eulogize him We fancy
that a good deal OF this nonsense might be traced
TO shrewd notion the part of those who pour
1t forth that by clarifying Whistler in this pro-
prietary way they may glorify themselves In the
mean time their shri campaign is affront to tho
dignity and a menace to the fame OF the
whose cause they have impertinently espoused
Whistler needs defenders His position is
cure. In public gallery after another his work
is bound to ind Its place. There is no occasion
for hurry. On the contrary the frantic zeal shown
in the controversy to which We have referred Is
not only Indecent, but silly.

sandbagsed and robbed near the Grand Central
station on Monday night 1t was learned yesterday
that although Mr.. Farquhar Is mentally sound. his
nervous system Is a wreck. He Is suffering from
bruises all over his head and body. and IT will be
several weeks before he will be able to leave his
bed.
1t was first stated that Mr.. Farquhar was held
up at Forty-fourth-st and Park-ave.. where his
firm is engaged on the enlargement of the New
York Central Railroads terminal His wife
now says that he Is not of the exact place
where the assault occurred The reason why Mr.
Farquhar did not report the hold-up TO the New
York police is because his mother has been very

her. There was a consultation OF physicians during
the morning. but no details were made public.
Since the hold-up Mr. FarquhaF has been unable
his wife says. to tell just where II was the high
