The judicial liking for the technicalities
OF the law is strikinEly shown In an issue
pending before the Board Of Estimate OF
Greater New York. A constitutional amend
ment increasing the salaries of judges OF
the state supreme courts by $4,000 a year
was approved by the voters at the last
election. The increase is from 5000 to
$4,000 a year, and goes into effect on the
first Of the year. The amendment is not
as specific as IT nigh be in limiting the
increase to the low-sslaried upstate Judges,
but prohibits increases in salaries now
greater than $4,000 a year. The judges Of
the supreme court OF Greater New York,
whose salaries amount to 1880 a year,
feel sadly in need of a raise, and are espe-
cially anxious to get ii before the constitu-
tional amendment goes into effect. The
Beard Of Estimate provides the difference
between the upstate salaries and the H1,-
COO, To reach the prize, therefore,, the judges
petitioned the board to increase their
salaries $4,000, stating their belief that they
were entitled to it, and that provision for
IL must be made "now"-or before the LIST
OF January. The quoted word is taken to
m Y 1 before the time when the amendment
goes into effect. The board was willing,
but the action OF the judges has raised
such criticism that the board Will meet
again today to reconsider its action.
Prompted by a desire to be 'accommo-
datin' an obligin' TO a fellow bein' In
distress" Arthur Edwards, n farmer Of
Water Mil, L. l., got out of bed about mid
night and, going cut into the highway,
helped a thief to steal his own favorite
mare and his own family carriage.
1t was the noise made by a horse pranc-
ing outside his window thai aroused
Farmer Edwards, and as he peered out he
saw a stranger struggling with a horse
that had apparently kicked itself out Of
the harness.
Slipping on his trousers, he quietly slid
downstairs and out into the highway to
help the surprised intruder, who was on
the point Of taking to the woods. He was
treasured by Edwards, who said he could
manage the horse, which suddenly be-
came quiet at the sound Of the farmers
voice. When the harness was adjusted the
intruder got into the rig and drove away,
without as much as a thank you. Edwards
did not discover until in the morning that it
was his own horse and rig that he aided
the thief in stealing.
While he was getting together a posse
of farmers to run down the thief his horse
was spied coming down the road, bent for
home, with the remnants of the rig drag
ging behind. 1t was evident that the ami
NAL had got away from the thief.

he saw the horse coming toward him, L

The death Of an old comrade, with whom
he had been associated in the State volun-
teer Firemen's association for twenty years,
so affected William McCabe, 81 years old,
that he fell dead from apoplexy in st.
Bartholomew church in Elmhurst, L. l.,
as the pallbearers were entering the church
with his friends coffin. McCabe, who
lived at 143 ludlow avenue, Elmhurst, was
dazed by grief when he learned of the
death Of Edward F. Kelly, his closest
friend, on Friday morning last Kelly was
superintendent of public buildings in
Queens, and for several terms president of
the Firemen's association, o. which Nc
Cabe had been q member.
Tears coursing down his cheeks, Nc
Cabe arrived at the church. For about an
hour he knelt in a pew, praying continually.
At the sound OF the arrival of the funeral
cortege he gave a cry, half rose to his feet,
and fell in the center aisle senseless. Sew
eral men carried him outside the church
and attempted to revive him. Just as the
pallbearers passed him with the coffin
containing Kelly's body on their shoulders,
McCabe opened his eyes, sighed deeply,
and quietly passed away. A minute before
a priest from the church had
administered the last rites for the dying

Threats in Brooklyn was convicted of
m~anslaughter. The judge before whom

The admiralty yesterday issued a cir
cular TO commanding officers. calling at
tention 10 the act and 10 an order by
the King in council, sanctiOning rules for
the carrying out of the act.
Hitherto any officer or man in the navy
has been compelled TO have the banns
published in the ordinary way ashore,
after qualifying by residence, and this
has frequently caused much incOnveni-
ence In future the ship may be re-
garded as church. as well as the mans
place of abode whether the ship Is at
home or abroad.
All that is necessary is that the man
shall give notice to the commanding Of
ficer of his desire to have the banns pub
published The banns will then be read
out by the chaplain or commanding off,
Ger on three successive Sundays at morn
ing service. and a certificate OF publi-
cation will be issued TO the man. The
