Parker Praised the Bench.

Alton B. Parker, formerly chief judge of
the court of appeals, last night made a
statement at Esopus, y. Y, called forth by
remarks of District Attorney Jerome of
New York at the City Club dinner Tuesday
night concerning the personnel of the SUI
preme court bench in the first judicial de-
partment, and quoted to the effect that
with few exceptions, l have not only no
reverence, but not even respect. for them.
Il have not believed said Judge Parker,
"that Jerome made so broad a statement.
I know Jerome and regard him too highly
to believe that under any circumstances he
could be betrayed into using such an ex-
preston about the members of great court
In whom our people have, and of right
ought to have, the greatest confidence.
Fourteen years in association with other
Judges devoted to the review of the work
of Judges at trial and special term has led
meas it has the appellate judges with
whom l have been associated-to feel that
as a class the integrity. learning, ability.
industry, high ideals and love of justice OF
the members of our supreme court are not
surpassed In any state.
beyond question" Judge Parker contin-
ued at is the duty of the people. and es-
pecially 1t Is the obligation of the bar to
use every effort to maintain that high
standard on the part OF the judiciary that
has given to the decisions of the courts OF
this state a rank throughout the United
States not surpassed by that of any state
in the Union."

sevastopol Russia's Stronghold.

Sevastopol the scene of Russia's latest
serious mutiny, is a seaport in the govern
ment of Taurda, on the southern shore of
a deep inlet of the Black sea, in the south
western part of the Crimea The -nlet is
about four miles long and three-quarters
of mile wide and is one of the best road
steads in Russia. The main inlet forms
four bays, between two of which the city
proper stands on elevated ground. The en-
trance to the roadstead is strongly fortified
and there Is a chain of forts south and
north of the city. There are extensive
docks along the shore. The climate is
healthful and pleasant. Before the mutiny
began Sevastopol had recovered from the
effects of the Crimean war, but it's COM
merce had been depleted almost entirely to
Feodosia, and the harbor has been used al
most entirely as a naval station. Monu-
ments TO the heroes of the Crimean war
are erected in the city, which also contains
two museums. The principal industries have
been shippLi,ding and wine making. Sevas-
topol forms with the surrounding country a
separate administrative district. The popu-
lation of the city proper is about $4,000.
The Greek colony of Chersonesus. situated
near the present site OF Seyastopol, was
we'll known to the Russians under the name
of Korsun at the period of the Introduction
OF Christianity into Russia. In the six
teenth century the Tartar settlement of
Akhtiar was founded there. In 1854 the
town of Sevastopol was founded by Cath
crime II. and in 1904 it became the chief
naval station Of Russia on the Black sea.
Ii was strongly fortified under Nicholas 1.
During the Crimean war. against the advice
of Turkey. the other allies France Eng
land and Sardinia) laid siege to Sevastopol
In 1856. The Russians attacked the British
at Balaklava. The engagement was marked
by bad generalship on the British side and
by the gallant but ill-advised charge of the
light brigade.
