Crowd at Courthouse.

For half an hour before the court con-
vened the corridors and courtroom proper
were crowded with members of the bar.
friends Of the new judge. members Of the
police force and many others connected
with the various local courts and the
municipal government. BY the time
Judge Pugh, accompanied by Judge Null
lowry, slipped to the bench the court
room was taxed to its utmost capacity.
Judge Pugh's appearance from the prl-
vate offices was the signal for prolonged
applause which was only stilled after re-
peated orders for quiet on the part OF
the bailiffs. In introducing Judge Pugh
as his associate on the Police Court
bench Judge Mullowny paid him high
tribute, both as lawyer and friend.
1T affords me very great pleasure in
deed to present to the members OF the
bar my associate on the bench here,
James L. Pugh, said Judge Mullowny.
His long career as prosecuting officer for
the District amply qualities him for the
position. Aside from our official rela-
tons, have known Judge Pugh for
many years and have come not only to
appreciate him as a loyal and devoted
friend, but as a capable. ef1cient and
learned attorney.
He is qualified both in temperament
and legal capacity to fill the dual posi-
ton of attorney and Judge in the thou
sands of cases which come into this
court annually where the unfortunates
are not represented by counsel He is
just and merciful, as we'll as firm and
answering in his sense of duty.

Confidence of the Bar.

Judge Pugh not only has the conf
dence OF the bar, but the confidence of
the community, and they, as we'll as
1, feel his career on this bench will be
one which will bring only honor and
credit to him 1t is with a great deal of
qualification personally that l have this
pleasant duty of accompanying him on
his rirst day as Judge into this court
Following the introduction of Judge
Muilowny dozen or more addresses
were delivered by members of the bar.
That of William H. Hart, colored, a
member Of the faculty Of the Howard
University Law School, was the most
unique owing to the fact that the speak
er and Judge Pugh were boys in the lat
ter's old home, Eufaula, Ala. His per-
sonal tribute to Judge Pugh was of a
high order.
To-day he has come to that position
to which the race of Pughs are destined.
to that place which they were made to at
tain. He is following in the footsteps of
his noble father and his grandfather.
both of whom l knew and loved and re-
spected for their manliness, their
strength of character and their great
mercies and kindness. All of these

You will permit ME to add that / feel
keenly the responsibility OF the duties
am about to assume l am fully aware
of the fact that many citizens Of all
classes are brought before the Police
Court for trial, and, lest some wrong
should be done, prudence, caution and
care should be exercised by the judge in
the investigation Of every case. Counsel
should be heard patiently. ample time
should be given for the production of wit
nesses and for the preparation of the de-

know the Importance Of this. and | say
now, through you to the public, that no

these criminal charges the property.

Senator Butler was asked this
question by the late ex-Chief Justice
James E. Shepherd, who was attorney
for the State of North Carolina:
state what conversation you had
with Senator Pettigrew in reference
to North Carolina bonds, which is the
subject of this suit"
Some time in January or Febru-
airy, 1901, l had a conversation with
him, which probably led up to the
passage of the act Of the legislature
in South Dakota authorizing that
state to accept donations.
Butler then proceeded to tell how
in the year 1900 he visited South Da-
kota, and among other things viewed
the State University. His sOlicitude
for that institution was aroused on
the occasion of that visit, which he
related

Shoe Pointer.

A shoe to fit a normal foot should be
straight along the inner border in or
der to accommodate the large toe,
and 1t should have an outward curve
on the outside Of the foot in order to
correspond to this contour. The sole
should be fat The heel should be
low and broad. The high, narrow
heel does a great deal of injury to the
foot. The sole should project slightly
beyond the toes and be broad enough
to accommodate them. The upper
part of the shoe should be easy over
the foot.

it is impossible to be clean within and

ears, and the nails in mourning, the
finest dress or suit is a hollow mock
cry. The child has only borrowed the
shadow of polite society, and not its
substance.
Many other things of equally trifling
nature stamp the properly brought up
cnild, but as they are too numerous to
nent1op at length let me emphasize
the fundamental qualities required:
The well-bred CHILD is soft-voiced,
modest and tender-hearted. 1t re-
spects the opinion of elders. It is con-
side1ate of all the old and for persons
in inferior position. It accepts and
adores quiet dress-thinks little in
deed about dress, unless the thing
concerns neatness. It honors its
father and mother and all other per-
sons in authority over it. 1t is wise
in matters that concern the welfare of
its body and soul, and yet as chaste in
spirit as a little flower.
And how is all this to be accom-
p1ished? By the mother leaving no
stcn unturned to win her child's con-
f1dence; by both parents being truth
