were practically abolished and nearly
all of their jurisdiction was revoked
and given over to the city court in
hopes that the evils of the fee system
and the enormous expense to the coun-
ty might be avoided. In order to stop
the drumming up Of silly cases by the
justices and marshals and deputies in
order to work up large bills for fees,
the judge. clerk, marshal and deputy
marshal of the city court were all
placed on salaries and the fees paid in
to the city court to go to the county
treasurer.
Under this system the city court is
the means Of great saving to the
county. While the fees do not pay all
these salaries the yearly expense for
this one court, after the fees are PAID
to the county is many times less than
under the old system of half a dozen
justice court running opposition to each
other.
The condition of affairs in the city
court the claims Of Sheriff Lucas for
fees, have been embodied in an agreed
statement of facts which will be sub
mitted to Judge Hazen for him to de-
eide whether the county is liable for
the fees in cases from the city court
where Lucas serves the papers.

HIS USEFULNESS IMPAlREDg
(Mashlngton PosI.)

Many Of our Southern contempor-
aries, together with a number of news
papers in other parts OF the country
are taking a pessimistic view Of the
dinner party given last week to Prof,
Booker Washington by Mr. Alexander
sedgwick, New York millionaire, at
his summer palace in the Massachu-
seits hills.

giving an account Of the junction and

were two distinguished clergymen, Que

ial boar was, Of course, purely in
formaT'- @hatever that may mean
"and after dinner the guests gathered
about Mr. Washington and listened 10
him until a lac hour" Afterward,
one OF the elergymen present said that
they had all enjoyed the opportunity
20 meet Mr.. Washington, and had
found him "a hraiuy, dignifed, and
self'p0ssessed gen leman"
AS we see the matter, the question
is not whether Prof Washington is a
gentleman hrainy dignihed. self
possessed. or otherwise, but whe her
the important work in which he is en-.
gagged will be hindered or promoted
by his admission to the society of the
Northern millionaires. distinguished
