gravedad de una inquietante
sospecha publica, que denuncia
algunos temores de suma gra-
vedad apuntados va por noso-
tros Cuando Sc anuuc10 Ell esta-
blecimiento de los tribunales
unipersonales en- sustltuclon de
los colegiados.
Dice ell jefe del Departamento
de just;cia que ha recibldo cons
tartemente quejas y denuncias
que acusan a varios de los EN- :
pleados en- los tribunales de JUS
ticia, de tomar una parte activa
en- la politica del pals. Yel At
torney general, no quiere, que
ESQ continue.
Desde luego que las medidas
que haya tomado el jefe supre-
mo de 10 judicial, no Sc haDran
reducido a la circular que CO.
mentamOs.
A estas horas, es casi SECURE
que los multiples ac0litos y CO.
Trades que Sc agrupan en- los Or
ganos de Ia congregation hayan
recibldo interpretaciones mas
amplias y terminates de la cir
cular, que a estas feChas como
cen va todos los ueces, seCreta-
rios y crlbientes de los trlbu-
males de just1cia.
Porque las quejas que haya
recibido ell Attorney general Sc
guramente seran contra funCiO
narios subalternos, contra en-
pleados del departamento. y ST
no estan muy explicitas, nj muy
detalladas, puede ser que Sc re-
fieran mas de cerCa las denun-
cias Y las quejas a varios pun
tos que no habran querido tradu-
cirle al Attorney general, pero
que este ha debido comprender
seguramente y medir hasta don
de llega el alcanCe de las protes-
tas publiCas contra la sOspecha-
da parcialldad de algunos fun
clonarios.
Las denuncias, es c1aro, sc
fOrmulan siempre contra en-
pleados sin grande Categoria,
subalternos Y gente de ohcio;
pero las protestas de cierto ge-
nero tlenen TN alcance mayer
y muCho mas extenso del que
hubo de Concederles la obCeca-
cion Y la parcialidad, las denun
Cias que a veces Sc formulan
contra los subalternos van diri-
gidas, 8 alcanzan de IN modo
1ndireCto a las personals mas
enCum bradas y arrogantes. a We
ces toCa de cerca a uno de los
irrespOnsables, 8 sc vuelve con-
ira el funciOnariO que no es po-
sible atacar de frente, por la
sencilla raz6n de que hay algu-
n0s inexpuguables.
La protesta que determine Ia
circular del Attorney General
llega mucho mas ALA de 10 que
estaban esperanto algunos. Nc
sc detiene en- las modestas gra
derias que ocupan los modestos
empleados, sube Y sube hasta
donde llega la mas leve sombra
de desconfanza y de reCelo.
Es del dominic p1blico que
algunos peri0dicos que Sc dedi.
can a la p0litiCa estan escritos
por ac6litos de la congregation
de funcionarios.
mo cree ell Attorney General
que sc pueda referir q la critica
de esta anormalidad bien ma

que ha recibido?
Nosotros, apenas oimos la

Y produce esas denuncias,
esas modestas llamadas al Or,

que de aviso y Sc den cuenta
del preventive.
La circular es extepsiva a to-
dos los empleados del Departa-
mento de 10 Judicial. Claro es-
ia, pues, que no han de quedar
excludes de acatar la orden, los
subalternos que esten mas Ger
ca del jefe; antes por ell con-
trario, ellos deben ser los que
mas inmediatamente Cumplan
10 acordado.
Pronto ha tenido OCCASION el
jefe del Departamento de Justi-
cia Y autor de la reforma de 10
judicial de espantarse de su pro
pia obra, a la que tiene que
agregar desde ahora el adita-
mento de la desmedrada circu-
lar, que a manera de preventive
ha repartido a todos los que no

tadores que les corresponds
en- la gran function que Sc esta
OrganiZando.
Y es inquietante 10 que teme
que pueda ocurrir ell Attorney
General. Pero esos temOres sc
ahorraria 81 en- veZ de los trlbu-
males unipersonales, hubiese de-
jado subslstir los coleg1ados; que
no es tan facil poner de acuerdo
a tres hombres para llevar a ca.
bo un acto de parcialidad, como
habiendo un juez solo Que no

extrafias, sino que le basta su
peculiar y personalisimo empe-
no, su modo especial de yer las
cuestlones, la Corriente de sus
naturales e indeClinables sim.
patias que llegan a cobrar excl
taClones mayOres en- estas epo-
cas- de efervesCencia pOl1tiCa.
Ahora pensara con horror en-
su Obra ell autOr del deScuaje de
10 judicial, cuando las protestas
del publico, las constantes que
jas le obligan a enviar la circu-
lar de marras a los funcionarios
de orden inferior.
Bien hecha esta la ad0erten-
cia, pero no es que la dicta la
provision sinO que la impone la
dura neCesidad. Ese merito me-
nos le queda, aunque puede abo
narla todavla la Influenza que
ejerza en- el amino de los jefes
de otros departamentos, los cua-
les pueden haCer identica reco-
mendacl0n a sus fu ncionarios,
Y dentro mismO de las OtlClnaS

quien necesite saber que la cir

 T don't want to. Ihate med 'cine''
 Then I suppose shall have to spanE you"
 Dick again lifted his voice in anguish but showed no sign of yielding.
 "If he wasn't sick would spank hin, soundly," " said MT. Greeley, in an under tone You've just about sopiled him you see"
 Dicks mother sighed.
 MT. Greeley felt in his pocket and pro. duced half-dollar. Dick" he said ''you take your medicine right down and I'll give you this,''
 Dick manifested interest. Gan ] spend it just as please?"
 "Yes.''
 Dick sat up little higher in the bed and swallowed the potion down quite easily.
 There! That wasn't very bad, was it?" said his father, handing over the promised coin
 No. sir. " admitted Dick.
 "Just little firmness, my dear" MT Greeley remarked complacently to his wife, while Dick was tapping the medi- cine spoon.
 Plus 50 cents!' said Mrs. Greeley, in a slightly injured tone.

oooD "REcoMMENpATloN.. ].
Not Exactly What It Was Supposed to Be, But It Brought Many
 Fayors.

A Sioux chief, hearing that the @sTeat father was going to make an annuity payment to his former enemies, but present friends, the Crows, decided that it was 8 good time for him to return a visit which the Crows had made the Sioux the summer before, relates Youths Companion. In order that there might be no difficulty on the trip, he went to the agent and asked for pass which would inform the public that he was legally absent from the reserva- fion: and also for a paper recommend ing him to the charities of the whites, for the chief, being always hungry, was a firm believer in the Scriptural injunc- ton to feed the hungry.
 The agent gave him the pass, and hav- ing been much harassed by his impor- tunities in the pastfo every conceivable article that the agent might possess, wrote: The bearer of this is Sioux Indian of the Pine Ridge reservation. I have never known him to do lick of work, or to buy anything he could beg, even when he had money. am of the opinion that little starvation would do him good He is the ornerest, laziest, dirtiest Indian on my reservation"
 Tn month or two the chief returned and entered the agents office to report, his face beaming with goodwill to his superior. "How, how, papa! Paper heap good! Make white mans heart good. Heap catch um shoes, coat, hat, everything; heap eat; maybe so you give me one more good paper next sum- mer!"
 After this, In pidgin English, he told the agent through the interpreter that every time the paper was presented to a white family they would laugh heartily and always give him something, either to wear or eat and then good-natured- ly tell him to clear out.
 It is probable that people had become so accustomed to recommendations of a different nature that the surprise of seeing this always put them in good humor, which turned out well for the lazy chief,

THE HOG AS A FORESTER.
Wild and semi- Wild Swine Destroy Hindrances to Young
 Pine Growth.

There are innumerahle minor influ- ences that come in for the forester's con- sideration. and what is recommended in one instance is discouraged in the next, says a writer in Outing. Take the matter of grazing in a forest. Through out the more extensive woodlands of the middle west run thousands of wild or semi-wild hogs. Tn the Tennessee for est it was recommended that every pos sible effort be made to exterminete these, for the reason that they eat the mast and thus prevent the growYMg of young trees from the seed But the working plan before mentiop t is advised that hog grazing be ey ged. The reason for the differe his: The former forest is chief bear ing hardwood. The lat ainly pine, and what hardwa in mixture serves as hiN oune pine growth. TherefQ rest
 the presence of hogs mast and check the hard heft: Wniie m the other od is the staple, the amin Ice.

OLD I lis.e MARINE RELIC.
Bones of Steamship of 1854 That Still Serve as Leng Island
 Landmark.

"Do you see that iron framework standing in the water?" asked the old salt, the other day, relates the New York Sun, pointing with his finger to an ob- 1ect a half mile westward and dimly visible through the haze and mist. That is the table which supported the shaft of the side wheel steamship Frank lin. of the Southampton and Eavre line.
 Fifty years ago there was spell of just such boggy, muggy weather as this. was a boy, but I remember well the first night of the Franklin.
 "I was in hayfield and heard the re- port of cannon and, looking up, saw the fog bank which was hanging low over the bay
 Father called, there's a steam ship almost ashore
 "One glance from the old surfman, my father, brought the reply: She is ashore. You run for Capt. Topping and tell him
 Capt. Topping was the wreckmaster, and in the old days the bringer of the first report of ship ashore received five dollars
 T didn't get the money, for others had been ahead of me, but got a trip to the beach, and, like hundreds of oth- CTS, saw my first steamship. That is just 50 years ago to-day, July 12. 'The beach that day was throngec with visitors as it never has been in any one day before or since. for there were sightseers from the whole coun- try for miles around, who like me had never seen a steamship, except in pic lures.
 The Franklin was loaded with gen. eral cargo of French merchandise which was very valuable The most of it was saved, badly soaked with sea during the night pounded over and went high up on the beach. For weeks teams were driven beside the ship.
 All efforts to pull her off proved use- ! less, and her bones are still there, and appear to be good for another 50 years.
 Well, she looked to be as though she were half mile from the beach now. Has the wreck moved?" asked the vis- ltor.
 No; but the beach has washed away ! and left the wreck 300 yards from shore. She is still useful, however, as there is first-class fishing for sea bass and black fish around the old Franklin wreck, and it's landmark for coasters and pilots It Is about midway between Fire island and Shinnecock, and fl 1 sighted by veterans along the coast is ! at once recognized.

SOME LATE DRESS HINTS.
Small Items of Emery That Are 1z Evidence in the Seasons
 Costumes.

So far no hat eclipses the rolling brim, sailor
 semi-precious gems are artistically mounted.
 A smart resort dress combines cloth and grenadine
 Taffeta is the height of chic for many sorts of trimmings
 Red is the color of one ostrich plume with long crimped ends.
 A new kid glove with demi-hngers is masquerading as mitt
 Shlrred chiffon with foot frills a. plenty is among the lovely effects. High girdles, fully outlining the fig- ure, are liked for evening dress.
 No sleeve is more graceful than the bell variety reaching to the elbow. As summer advances the fluttering veil is seen more and more in the land.
 Black heels and soles make the twinkling little scarlet shoes even more bizarre
 The brilliant gem colors, sapphire, ruby and emerald, are as much liked as year ago.
 Kimono boleros exemplifying the shoulder-and-sleeve- idea, tally with modish effects.
 A button arrangement made of braid twisted round and round is a smart substitute for buttons.
 Many linen dresses are now made up in what is known as sheet linen, which is inezpsnsive. light and fine.

THE STING OF A BEE.
It Is Not Always Done in Hurried and Self Destroying
 Manner

"Stinging is not the impulsive and furious action on the part of the bee that many persons think, said bee culturist, reports the New York Sun. T have often watched bees sting, and ! they all go about it in the same way
 Take them, first, in slow and careful sting where they have plenty of time. Here they study the ground that is to be punctured with minute attention.
 They have a pair of instruments called palpi-wonderful instruments full of fine hairs, each hair terminat- ing in a delicate rve-and with these palpi they will sound the piece of flesh as perfectly as a physician will sound patients lungs. They can tell pre- cisely in this way whether or not their i sting will penetrate without meeting any obstruction or coming to any harm.
 f'The bee, if 1t seems good to her at the end of her examination, turns, darts in her sting and at the same time injects into the wound a tiny drop of clear pale green venom. If she has time she withdraws her sting, cir cling around and around the wound, screwing out the little weapon as a carpenter screws out bit.
 But if she has not time, if her life Is in danger, she lies away at once, leaving both poison and sting. Thus maimed, she dies in an hour or two.
 Tt is only upon the drones of the hive that the Sverage bee uses her weapon-not one bee in a million ever stfngs human being or an animal and when she attacks drone 1t is easy to with draw her sting again and thus no harm comes to her.
 When she stings man, though, there Is more danger; but even here she reconnoiters with her palpi first and finds time in many cases to get out her sting and escape uninjured.''

THE CROSS STITCH FAD.
Much in Favor with Young Women in the Characterization of
 Summer Garments.

The linen cross-stitch girl is busy parsonage this season, for she has disz covered her possibilities. Indeed. they are without limitation, says the Brook lyn Eagle. She can take an old tan linen waist and make it simply gor- geous with her own handicraft, and she can take an old cloth waist. all out of date and bring it right up to the mark by adding to it her bands of enabfoid- cry.
 This young woman will take strips oi heavy white linen and cut it1nto bands to form panels for the front of her waist. It takes one wide panel to go down the middle of the front. Then she will take a wide strip and make another band fo1 the neck. Then she will take another strip. and make an epaulette for the shoulder, carefully measuring its length. And, finally, she will cut ou. deep cuffs, and then she is ready to 60 to work: All the measurements must hs accurately made.
 She will embroider these bands with the oriental colors. carrying them out, not in the swinging Japanese design. but in the little neat Armenian cross stitch. She will make her waist ret iu the most accurate manner, using wash silks. And. when she has completed her set, she will work half a dozen squared to be set into the sleeves and into tha waist These squares give a finishing touch of elegance.
 They take linen in shade of new blua and work 1t in this way. And they take tan colored linen and coffee colore6 linen. Beside this they take linen that is in the deep brown colors and upon these embroider or work the design in red and blue to be used upon dark red or a dark blue gown
 It is distinct art, this working Of ths shirt waist sets of linen, but such a profitable one that a woman cannot do better than learn 1t The dark sets will be worn all winter on the cloth shirt waists and on the waists of tafetas.
