Mr.. Smith told story Of the south.

plantation Of southern colonel, he

Mrs. Cleveland Engaged.

mrs. Ctovotano Engaged.
Washington Post: The announce
ment Of the engagement of Mrs. Gro
yer Cleveland to Prof. Thomas J.
Preston of Wells college, was receiv-
ed with surprise, but all the friends
Of the late presidents widow and sen.
sible persons generally will rejoice in
her new-found happiness. p.
For twenty-six years, ever since
the day when, as girl of %, she be-
came the white house bride, Mrs.
Cleveland has been held in high re-
gard by the American. public. Her gra-
ciousness and charm did much to
soften political bitterness during the
administration of Cleveland. Tactful,
gentle and kind, Mrs. Cleveland was
an example to all American woman
hood as helpful wife and loyal
mother
It has long been a matter of re-
greet among Mrs. Cleveland's friends
that since the death Of her husband
she took but little part in social az
fairs, except such as were part of the
everyday life of Princeton, where she
continued to reside Devoted to her
growing children, the eldest Of whom
is to make her debut shortly, Mrs.
Cleveland probably felt that her first
duty was in her own home.
The public probably always will
feel sort of proprietary interest in
Mrs. Cleveland, because of her youth
and charm when she became the
first lady Of the land. Only a useless
and misdirected sentimentality would
suggest that she should continue to
lead her lonely and retired life. In the
prime of life, with health and charm,
with her children past the age when
they need her constant care, it would
be a pity, indeed, if Mrs. Cleveland
were to keep her face turned away
from the sunlight Of happiness. Prof.
Preston is lucky to have won such a
woman, and the country will extend
hearty congratulations both to him
and to Mrs. Cleveland.

Press Comment.
COURT REFORM BY THE 81
PREME BENCH.

Chicago Record-Herald: Reform OF
court procedure and practice, as every
intelligent lawyer knows, means and
can mean, essentially, but one thing
in this day and generation. 1t means
simpliication, the application OF bus1-
ness efficiency and sense to the pro-
cesses of law and equity. Red tape,
technicality, circumlocution, waste, de-
lay-these are the things which too
often make justice a mockery.
The supreme court of the United
States has evidently recognized this
in it's general revision Of the equity
rules of the federal courts. The spirit
of progress and of efficiency is re-
flected in the changes-in each and
all. Antique forms Of pleading are
abrogated; costs are reduced; meth
DDS are simplified; indirection Is elm
mated; reversal of decisions for
slight, immaterial errors, are done
away with; the referee evil Is handled
with vigor. ~ y. =
s"Reform with an AK has been fire.
quently advocated In this paper in
dealing with court procedure. The SUI
preme court, it seems, has not hest
tated to use the ak, although it may
not have gone as far as radical re-
formers think we ought to 60. AS
regards the limitation of the use OF
injunction, the court has, Of course,
been moderate and careful, but the
new rules make for greater fairness.
greater definiteness and greater expe-
dition. The legislature may do more
to limit injunctions and prevent their
misuse; the supreme court has not
only approved the demand for reform,
but has actually instituted reasonable
and wholly proper reforms under the
power it has of laying down rules OF
procedure. 1t has set an example to
state supreme courts. Everywhere the
judiciary can do something-perhaps
even much--for law reform, without
waiting for legislative action, import
an and necessary as such action may
be in certain directions.
