Court fights are always about the
most bitter of all fights before the
Legislature, and this session is no ex-
ception. But, while the senate has
been inclined to be generous with all
who ask for new courts, there is a
general belief that the house will not
be so free with them.
Here it is, the end of the third week
of the legislature and practically moth
ing has been done. Only few bills
have been passed in either house, and
what have been passed are not of much

about 500 bills have been introduced

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
TIMES, RTTREAH

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 30. - If all
the new courts were established by the
legislature that have already been ask
ed at this session the additional cost
would be considerable to the state.
But the legislature seems to be going
slow about making any new courts at
all
OF course. the greatest interest pen
ters in the Lake county court fight and
the one from Sullivan and Greene coun-
ties. But there are several others that
look at this time like they may make
almost as much trouble as these two.
The bill to establish new superior
court at Gary has passed the senate
and is now in the house. The bill to
give Hammond an additional superior
Judge is ready for passage in the SEN
ate, and when 1t comes to a vote it is
believed it will pass just as the Gary
bill passed, since Gary and Hammond
seem to have buried the Ratchet and
smoked the pipe of peace. But what
will happen when the two bills get to
the house is a question. Each side is
claiming that both bills will get
through the house all right, but there
are some others who do not believe
that any court bill at all will pass
that body.
Then there is the big scrap between
Linton and Bloomfield too, that has
made so much trouble Bloomfield is
the county seat of Greene county, in
which Linton also is situated. Greene
county and Sullivan county form one
| judicial circuit. Bloomfield and Sui
| Ivan both wish to divide the circuit
and have a Judge for each county. Lin
ton wants the circuit left as 1t is and
| is asking the legislature to create 6
new superior court for the two coun-
ties, the court to sit at Sullivan and
Linton. Bloomfield is fighting this
Il proposition. The Linton court bill has
passed the senate and the Bloomfield
Sullivan separation bill has been killed
The Linton bill has gone to the house
also. In the house there Is also (
Bloomfield-Sulliva bill, so the hgh
is not ended by a good deal.

Mustn't Work Like Roebottom.

F. w. Aver, the advertising agent, at

the firms fortieth anniversary, said
that to succeed in advertising re-

"The successes in this business are
stupendous," he said, 'but some folks
think that working as Roebottom of
Camden worked, a man can build up a
great advertising fortune.

How His Constituents Feel.

Representative William S. Bennett
of New York, is rapidly learning just
where he stands with his constituents.
For the purpose Of acquiring that
knowledge Mr.. Bennett recently had
printed letter which he sent to the
10000 citizens in his district. The
letter says:
1.-THE Sixty-first congress, to which
I have been elected, as your represen-
tative from the Seventeenth congrs-
sional district, has begun it's first ses.
sion. You doubtless will be interest
ed in measures which come before
congress, and shall always be glad
to hear from you concerning them.
If there is any way in which, as your
representative, 1 can be of service
to you please consider me at your
command at any time"
The letter brought forth hundreds
of responses, asking the representa-.
tive to do all sorts Of impossible
things in the way of national legis-
lation. There was one letter, how
ever, which was safe and sane. The
writer used the same sheet of paper
as that on which Mr. Bennett commu-
nicated with him, and down in the
corner he wrote:
Come home. Bring all the other

Mrs. Davis, with hair uncombed and
sleeves of her mother-hubbard rolled
up to the elbow, opened the front door
and shifted the morning air of the
tenement district. She looked up and
down the block to see who were out
ahead OF her. Mrs. Kate Farrell was
sitting on her front stoop with her
tongue wagging and her arms akimbo,
while Mrs. Dora OReilly and Mrs.
Sarah MacAvoy leaned on the brooms,
with which they made a pretense of
sweeping the pavement, and listened
eagerly to what Mrs. Farrell was say

she was met halfway by the new
