INFERIOR COURT OPENS
 TO TRANSACT BUSINESS

It was stated yesterday by Judge Aber- nathy that he expected to hold court in the old quarters only a comparatively short time. He said that steps had been taken to have offices for the inferior court In the county court house.
 The status of the litigation which has been pending before the several justice courts affected by the supreme court de- cislon is a matter of some concern to members of the bar. It is believed by some attorneys that all such cases are wiped out of court, but others are of the opinion that the procedure would be to transfer these cases from the doekets of the justice courts to the doekets of the inferior court. The matter will more than likely be brought up for settlement in test case which will be rushed through to a final decision.
 No business Is set for the court today. but everything is ready for the starting of the wheels of the new machine of Justice. Judges Abernathy and Benners will be present and the clerk of the court, John Martin, will also be in attendance, to begin the work entailed upon them by the law.

EXAMINATION TODAY
 IN FREEMAN KILLING
RICHARD WRAY CONFIDENT HE WILL BE RELEASED ON BOND AFTER TESTIMONY IS OFFERED BEFORE JUSTICE RUSSELL.

The preliminary examination of Rich ard wray, H. J. Matthews, Charles Lans- downe, Marie Martin and Irma Tender son. charged with murder in connection with the killing of George Freeman, the portrait painter, will be held this morn ing at 10 o'clock, before Justice of the Peace Russell. in the county court house.
 Wray is actually accused of the kill ing of Freeman, and is held In the coun- ty jail without the benefit of bail. The others are wanted by the state as material witnesses, and are out on bond. ball in the sum of 5000 each having been fur nished.
 The prosecution will endeavor to have Wray held to the grand jury without the benefit of ball. Wray himself said last night that he had little doubt his at torneys would succeed in having him re- leased under bond. The authorities have not yet decided in what court room the preliminary will be held, but this will be settled this morning.

Judge H. B. Abernathy and Judge I. c. Benners of the inferior court for pre- einets 21 and s7 of Jefferson county yes terday received their new commissions from Governor Jelks, and in all probabi- ity will resume the active operations of that court in the old offices on Third ave- nue.
 The receipt of the commissions was no surprise inasmuch as Governor Jelks an- nounced some days ago that he intended to reappoint the old judges as soon as the courts decided the legislation was legal and in accordance with the state constitution. This action on the part of the courts was taken during the past week, and the inferior court was declared a legal and constitutional body.
 The reopening of the inferior court causes six justices of the peace to vaeate office instanter. There are >in each pre- elnet two regular justices and one notary public. who is a justice of the peace ex- officio. When Judges Ahernathy and Ben ners were busted as judges of the in- ferior court. they were appointed justices ofthe peace. so that in reality only four justices lose office.

THE EASY OIL.

Scott's Emulsion is "the easy oil easy to take, easy in action. It's use insures delivcrance from the griping and nau- seating sensation peculiar to the raw oil. Nobody who has any regard for the stomach thinks of taking cod liver oil in the old way when Scott's Emulsion IS to be had. It is equally certain that no one whose health is properly regarded will accept a cheap emulsion or alcoholic substitute for Scott's Emulsion. It fulhlls every mission of cod liver oil and more.

ity, true greatness Is pivoted. not on birth. not on wealth, but on service.
 The grandeur of mapkinds leaders lay in their passion to be of service to hu- manity. Service consecrates to nobility, and in all truly great lives we have this ennobling element. Great men serve and thus lift up. From Moses to Washington and Lincoln all great leaders have this in common.
 Service Gives RuIership.
 We of today must build up a nobility of service. We need men who are willing not to lead but to serve. Service gives true rulership. We need this gospel of service carried into our civic relations, into our social dealings. This is the mon ition voiced by the memory of the lives of great men; 1t is the melody to the movement of which were set the careers of Moses and Isiah, of the teacher of Cali lee as well as of Plato and Keppler and all truly great
 The advent of this aristocracy will bring about an equality. not of education, but of duty; not of wealth but of worth. Such aristocracy claims no superiority ex- cept the prerogative to serve when others may claim immunity from a task. This nobility is open to all of us. We may and can serve.

Nature Creates Difference.

Nature herself creates differences of condition, of power, of talent. Nature creates bars which we are able to correct only within limited ranges. We have no means to make the dwarf as tall as the giant. We cannot render the dull mind as bright and keen as is the brain upon which was breathed the flaming breath of genius. Nature speaks dialect that is unmistakable. In order to have the larg- est potencies of life realized in the race the nation and the individual, nature pro- duces leaders, men who stand out above and distinct from others, men through whom distinction comes to all. In other words, men whom are the aristocracy of humanity are not against natures de- cree to acknowledge the existence of such nobility is not inconsistent with the highest and best worship of liberty and equality.
 But who are the true aristocrats? What admits us to or excludes from the noble order of the highest and best? The true aristocrat is he, who, though born unto one nation, though speaking one language. though working with material localized, represents in all these limitations the highest possible humanity.
 History has recorded on her tablets some names of such aristocrats. Who are they? The Vanderbilts. Astors or Roths- childs?
 Not of True Peerage.
 I doubt. I have my suspicion that most of the degenerate, self-styled aristocracy of the old world, are not of the true peer age. Mr. Nabob. displaying his scorn and contempt for all who are too stupid
