THE JUDICIARY AMENDMENT.

One of the proposed amend
| mcnts to the State Constitution
relates to the esta blishment OF
Circuit Courts. On this subject
the BANNER has already expressed
a strong appreciation. 1t will be
remembered that at the outset OF
the Legislature Governor BIan-
chard, with his practical eX-
perience on the Supreme Bench,
realized that the process Of law IN
some cases was entirely too dila-
tory and he invited conference
OF the leading lawyers of the
State to draft measure that
would prevent the congesting OF
court dockets, afford relief, and
satisfy litigants. The result OF
this lawyers conference has been
the suggestion OF creating Circuit
Courts. and the proper re-district-
ing of the State and defining the
Jurisdiction of these new courts.
If there are any particular set OF
men who know the defects OF
system it is certainly those men
who are engaged in that branch,
and since the best lawyers have
suggested this as the best and
most satisfactory way out OF the
difficulties now surrounding the
judiciary, it would be IL l-becoming
on our part to do otherwise than
to endorse their recommendations
and to ask the voters to support
the amendment. The creation OF
these new courts will greatly re-
lieve the work Of our district
courts. This relief will, we sur
misc. prove beneficial not only to
the better and more speedy ad-
ministration of justice, but it will
benefit the parochial taxpayers
in that it viii! undoubtedly reduce
expenses IN a number Of direc-
tons.

SWift'S "Rules and Repulatione

Swift's "Rules and Regulations
for Servants" are quoted in "What
to Eat" as an evidence that the
servant of the 18th century did not
differ materially from the modern
American article. Among these
rules are the following: "Scrape
the bottom of your pots with a sill
yer spoon, for fearing of giving
them taste of copper" "Write
your name and your sweetheart's
with the smoke of candle on the
roof of the kitchen to show your
learning" "Whoever comes to
call on your master or mistress
when they are abroad, never bur-
den your memory with the per-
sons name, for, indeed, you have
too many other things to remem-
Ter" "When you cut bread for
toast do not stand by watching,
but lay it on the Goals and mind
your own business"

ChiIdren'S Show.

When the managers of the great
Floto Shows organized this beautiful
exhibition. they did not forged that
to please and amuse the little folk is
to amuse the entire world.
With this thought in mind they
have added to their already costly
shows a children's department, in
Guiding many fairyland features. the
beauties of which have never been
equalled by any similar exhibition.
In the parade will be seen many
costly miniature wagons. float, tableaux
and open cages containing the smaller
species of the animal kingdom. One
hundred beautiful Shetland ponies 100
dogs of all species and sizes. scores of
rare birds, baby elephants. and mon-
keys too numerous to count. These
are all fol the children and each and
every little animal performs its re-
spective part in the difficult programs
arranged by Prof. d. G. Market. the

IROOUOIS HORROR OUTDONL
Five Hundred Children Burned to Death

New York. June 15.-Five hun

the excursion steamer General Slooum,
near He'll Gate, in the East river.

sorts along Long Island sound. When
near 125th street persons GU the shore
saw smoke and flames spring from the
steamer. with its precious freight of
thousands nf men, women and espe-
cially children.
A panic ensued at once. The crowd
on the forward deck began to spring
overheard into the river. or to crowd
TO the other part of the boat. The
screams of terrified passengers could
be heard on the shore and hundreds of
small heats Immediately put off to
the rescue.
Owing to the rocks on either side
of the channel at this point it was
impossibple to reach the vessel. The
captain stuck to his post at the wheel
and headed the vessel straight up the
river for North Brothers Island,
where she was put aground i'll shall

shore were most heattrending.
The little tots would cling to their
mothers. while the more advanced in
years were simply terror stricken and
paralized by the awful fate that was
presented before their eyes. with
hardly one means of escape. The
steamer was the largest of its kind
that piled in these waters as an ex-
cursion steamer.
The board of health of New York
City has sent 100 physicians and 500
policemen on a special trsin to the
scene of the awful disaster.
Many of the bodies rescued were
horribly burned. Wreckers state that
it will be hours before the fire in the
hold of the steamer will be ont and
an effort can be made to rescue the
bodies They believe that the great
est loss of, life, extending into many
hundreds. will be discovered when
they are able to enter the burned hold
of tho vessel.
The scene in and around the section
this morning, from whence the main
portion of the excusionists came from
in this city. beggars any description.
The excitement is tremendous and
mothers and fathers who did not go
on the excursion, but whose children
went under the guardianship of their
teachers in their respective classes,
are frantic.
1t is che of the most horrible catas-
trophies. with consequent loss of life

formerly held both the amateur and the
open championships, and that polished golf
er. Horace G. Hutchinson. who earlier in
Wednesdays play had beaten last years
champion, Robert Maxwell, out of the run

Today Mr.. Travis contests the final with
e. ID. Blackwell of the Tantallen Club. and
everybody at Sandwich is looking upon Mr..
Travis success as foregone conclusion.
The success of the American has been
little short of astounding to the entire
gathering of British golfers. His extraor-
binary putting, which won him his earlier
victories. was ascribed to luck. but now
it is the unanimous opinion Of not only
amateurs, but professionals who are now
at the links preparing for the open cham
pionship next week and who witnessed the
splendid equanimity Of the strangers
game. that the final Is certainly going to
the American.
Travis calm attitude under all difficul-
ties constitutes an object lesson to the
