HIS 'sTEENTH TERM.
JuSts cowell Getting Familiar With
 Takiuf Oath ol once.

Judge George H. Cowell and Dep uty Judge F. NJ. Peasley, who were 1 appointed to the district court q few 1 weeks ago by Governor Roberts, took office this morning. At [ o'clock Clerk l.. F. Root admjnistered the oath to Deputy Judge Peasley and at 9:25 to Judge Cowell. Immediately thereafter Judge Cowell reappointed Mir Root clerk and Sheriff William NJ. Gillette assistant clerk and court mes senger. Nothing was said or done re- garling the office of prosecutor of the court, which accustomed some surprise l among the lawyers, as they all expect ceed Attorney A. r. Rradstreet It is now surmised that the latter will hold over indefinitely. The appoint ments are good for four years. In ac- cordance with an old custom Clerk Root tapped box of good cigars and after everybody had a good smoke they filed into the court room and took up the arduOus work of short calendar.
 This makes Judge COWelrs ,--steenth term. He doesn't know exactly how long he has been on the bench. he has been on it so long, and some lawyers are of the opinion that he was born there.
 Twelve years ago Mir Root was first appointed and he has held the office ever since. He succeeded the late Daniel F. Webster. who in his day was the most popular republican in the city. When Mir Webster was ap- pointed prosecutor in the city court Mir Root, who was representative that year with John L. Saxe, succeeded him in the district court. The demo- running mate for NIr SaXe that fall. No one cared to run the risk and bear the expense of what seemed to be q hopeless campaign for the democrats. MT Root was suggested. He had just hung out his shingle as lawyer. hay ing only a short time before passed the bar examination and graduated from Yale Law school. He accepted the nomination as fOrlorn hope and to the amazement of everybody he won in walk. He has made a first class clerk. one of the best. in the county, and what is more. he is an exceptional clerk in that he is never out of temper. He is son of Samuel Root of West Side Hill
 Mir Gillette succeeded John F. Hol- Ohan in 1890 when the latter became a law student in Yale. He had no fancy for the intricacies of the prOfes- sion of his father, former Judge Charles w. Gillette. Politics seized him in it's embrace when he was old enough to vote and he now stands at the head of his class in the republican party. He was a constable for many years. County Sheriff Dunham made him deputy few years ago. which office he still holds. Then he married Miss Iva Miller and emigrated to the wilds of democracy in the fifth ward. where he sometimes pines fot glance at the patent leather shoes and plug hats of republicaniSm on Prospect street. where he formerly lived. He has made a good official. He knows everybody worth knowing and is one of the best fellows in the city.

JUDGE CALEFS DOG.
Sagacious Animal Brings Eggs from
 Under Barn.

Under Barn.
 Middletown. April IA bird dog owned by Judge \. R. Calef has proved to be a valuable acquisition even in the closed season. as he has been taught to retrieve eggs which the judges hens were laying where neither that legal gentleman nor his employees could get them.
 The judge had reason to think that the hens had stolen nest where the quarters were so cramppd that an in yestigation was out of the question. The judges son thought the dog could be utilized. and. putting an egg in the canines mouth. he sent the animal under the barn. The dog soon returned with bottle. hut. understanding that that was not what was wanted. he was sent back. This time he returned with an egg. He made ten trips this way each time bringing out an egg. He was sent back for the eleventh time and this time returned with inc nest and nothing more was asked os him,
