"The honorable the chief justice and
the associate justices of the supreme
court Of the United States"
With a stately stride, slowly, like
mourners at funeral. with their flow
ing black robes adding to the picture,
the justices file into their places, all
persons in the room remaining stand
ing until the members of the court arc
seated.
Then the crier announces: "Oyez!
Oyer! All persons having business
with the honorable supreme court Of
the United States are admonished to
draw near and give their attention,
for the court is now sitting" These
formalities over, the court gets down
to business.
On the bench the justices are seated
strictly with regard to their seniority.
The chief justice, the venerable Mel
vile W. Fuller, with a halo of white
hair, has the center seat At his right
sits Justice Harlan, the senior Justice
tall and straight despite his 76 years.
On Justice Fuller's left is Justice
Brewer, next in seniority; then to JUS
tice Harlan's right sits Justice White;
then the next in point of seniority is
Justice Peckham, who sits to the left
of Justice Brewer; Justice McKenna is
at the right of Justice White; Justice
Holmes is left of Justice Peckham; to
the right of Justice McKenna sits JUS
tice Day, and last in point of seniority,
Justice Moody, the youngest as well as
the newest of the justices, has the end
seat to the left of the chief justice,
beside Justice Molmes.
Few people know that Justice Fuller
is the "Cnief Justice of the United
States'-not chief justice of the SUI
preme court. His title is fixed by the
Constitution.

FASHIONS VAGARIES
ALMOST INNUMERABLE

a railroad company puts it's whole
force n one building, occupying, say
two to four floors, it helps wonderful
~ in filing up; but there is vast
army of firms that have left other
quarters for more imposing apart

with all the building craze, the wants
Of small dealers have been utterly
neglected. In none of the new build
ings have the needs of the business
men of small means been considered.
In former times dealer of limited
month. That class are kept in the
old buildings, some of which are near
ly ready to drop down into piles of
debris. One instance Of the enterprise
as exhibited by the catering of bust
ness is shown in the case of a res
taurant on Nassau street, which has
been established less than a year. 1t
is about 800 feet deep, and it has con-
tracted for the next room in the
building. The wall is a heavy one,
yet the contractor has engaged tC
take down that wall, beginning on
Saturday night, and putting the res
taurant in possession, everything
shipshape and ready for business on
the succeeding Monday morning.
A f1utter of excitement prevailed
for some days in the ranks of the res
taurants and lunch-rooms of a GER
tain district, ever a report that men,
bers of the Standard Oil clique had
bought share Of stock in Childs' sys-
tenn, and had raised the mattresses

restaurant of considerable pretensions

their living depends upon them. Each
waitress in room where none are en-
plOyed has to pay out of her tips three
boys each so cents a week for filling
the water pitchers and taking away the
dishes. If the waitress is away of an
evening, her substitute gets her salary
for the whole day, with such tips as
customers give her. The men walters
seldom get tip.
Tea is coming to the fore, stepping
ahead of it's old rival-coffee, appear

II. tea-drinking will get big boost
It is contended that it gets on the
nerves. and as Americans are given to
nerves in very large measure.
they are gradually learning to drink
something that soothes those trouble
some nerves. The Lackawanna rail-
road has for a long while depicted
the pleasure experienced by Phoebe
Snow when she finds her gloves,
white at that, still spotless when she
reaches her journeys end, but now
the Pennsylvania railroad goes a
point further and gives its stylish
lady patrons a dish of tea that brings
them through without headaches. And
SO the dears are kept from aches
while performing the patriotic duty
Of helping paying tax.
There was such a lively chorus for
a revision of the tariff, that now that
the tariff has been brought out in full
view, there must be d very astonished
set of people who are learning what
a tariff really is. Why, the house of
representatives is taking the greater
part Of a week in simply reading it.
One of the New York daflies picked out
it's finest type, so small that it re-
quires a microscope almost to read it,
even when printed most clearly, filled
eight pages with the proposed new
tariff and eight more pages for the
tariff we are living under at the pres
emf DAVIS With work of Sucn magni-
tudn before them and the active work
of so many large and diverse interests
differing as to wishes, it is idle to
suppose that congress can turn out a
nicely rounded and finished work of
art and labor in the shape of tariff
in a month

BUT THE LIMIT SEEMS TO BE
REACHED IN THE NEW 500
BUTTON GOWN.
Main Difficulty in Making New Dress
Is Ordering Of Buttons, Whether
BY Dozen or Peck.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The va
carries of fashion are very great, al
most innumerable, indeed, but they
seem to have reached their limit when
some genius of a milliner evolved the
500 button gown. The caricaturists
have, of course, found it capital sub
5ect for their pencils. and have de-
picted it N all kinds of situations.
The ladies seem to have been fabber-
gasted by the new conner and treat it
very gingerly and not very approving
ly. One of the difficulties of the case
lies in the perpleXity Of calculating
the value of the buttons and how to
buy them, by the dozen or by the peck.
Husbands shrink from buttOning them
after the garment has been donned
So far not single lady of promi-
nence has been named as a possible
purchaser or as an owner and pros
pective wearer of one, as there is not
the slightest degree of taste in the
idea, only vulgarly exhibition of ex-
travagance. There is much discus
sion as to whether the buttons are to
be bought at the jewellers or at the
grocers by the quart
New restaurants are springing up
downtown following the wake of the
huge buildings, which bring into one
skyscraper more customers for res
taurants than formerly was to be

these has a huge restaurant of it's

up new lunch rooms and full blown
restaurants, and others are enlarging

PRESIDENT TAFT LAUDS
NATIONAL ENGINEERS IDEA
He Favors Joining of These Com
petsnt Men for Observation and
Promotion Of Resources.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Members
of four national societies of engineers
yesterday joined in favor of the con-
servation Of national resources. They
represented civil, mining and eleCtri-
cal engineering
John Hays Hammond read a tele-
gram from President Taft. IL said:
Please say to joint engineering
societies that / am greatly gratifed
to know of their cooperation in the
movement for the conservation of the
natural resources of the country. The
members of these societies with their
technical knowledge are not only bet
ter advised as to the necessity for
such conservation, but are more COM
petent to suggest methods by which
such conservation can be carried out.
l have already pledged the admins
tration to as full support as possible
to the policy, and 1 am glad to renew
my expression of sympathy with the
movement and to state my high esti-
mate Of the value of the aid which
can be rendered by the united en-
cheering societies"

ONE MAN DRAWS SALARY FOR
SHARPENING QUILL PENS
WHICH ARE NOT USED
Another Is Paid for Walking Slowly
Before the Nine Justices ct the
Supreme Court.

There is man on the government
payrolls whose specified duty is the
making Of quill pens. 1t is a light,
congenial employment too, for he very

Then there is another man who

sole duty is to march slowly and with

other dignitaries, who. however do a lot
more to earn their money.
The supreme court Of the United
States gives employment to, these two
unique servants of the public.

United States is the most interesting

tive character and it's membership

Of the United States occupied the
same room until 1859, wherefore there
clings to it something of the atmos-
phere Of olden days
On the tables reserved for counsel in
the room may still be found quill pens,
neatly arranged beside ink stands of an
cient pattern, and the American of to-
day is almost disappointed not to find
also the sand for blotting that. used to
be the invariable accompaniment of
the quill. There had to be small
concession to modern taste, so steel
pens are also provided and it must be
admitted these are nearly always used
In preference to the goose feather. If
there have been any of the quilts used
during the last few years, the court Of
fcers don't know of it: but several
have disappeared, presumably carried
off by the souvenir hunters
Tradition clings to every feature of
court procedure. The entrance of Chief
Justice Fuller and the associate JUS
tees to the courtroom is solemn, dig
hified proceeding. The nine highest in
terpreters of the law assemble in
small room in the west side of the Cap

utes of II, two red silk cords are lOoped
across the hallway to the door of the
court room, and headed by the usher
and in the order of their seniority, the
nine justices march into the court
room.
AS soon as the usher appears a the

NEW TARIFF BILL.

The new tariff bin mas been intro
tiuced in the lower house OF congress,
and the fight is now on. The indica-
lions are that party lines will be seli-
minated. and that each representative
will battle for the interests of his town
state.
should the bill as introduced become
n law, Nevada viii be the loser, as
hides are placed on the free list and a
substantial reduction is made in cheap
woods.
But it is not probable that the pres
ent bill will be recognizable when the
law is finally passed. While it IS
likely that il will pass the lower house
substantially as introduced, it will not
fare SO well at the hands of the senate,
The constitution provides that all tar
if legislation shall originate in the
house, but in reality it is the senate
that makes the final decision in the
schedules.
While ii is estimated that the new
bin. which includes an inheritance tax,

remain a large deficit, which win per
haps be provided for by stamp or other

AS TO RESULTS.

The twcnty-fourth session of the
state legislature has concluded its la
bors and adjourned without day.
There were many bills passed, some
of doubtful expediency, but the most
important are generally considered to
have been the anti gambling, direct
primary and juvenile court laws.
As vet il is too early to hazard an
opinion as TO the value or the work
performed by the lawmakers.
From a political standpoint. the chief
features of the session were the fight
between the two bodies and the hosti,i.
ty exhibited by the senate towards
Governor Dickerson.
