COURTHOUSE.

The New Year resolutions Of Justices
Gould and Stafford include a determin-
alton to call through the entire law
calendar before the summer recess of
the District Supreme Court. The job
set by the judges for themselves IL q
big one. There are more than 500 cases

largest ever known in the District All

that an opportunity for trial had been
afforded in less than 500 cases and

hours has undergone a change. For
more than thirty years the clocks in

twelve in number-were controlled by
a master clock, which repose6 in the

this master clock caused the hands of
the different clocks to move from one
minute indication to the next on the
record a shorter period of time:s flight
The passage of each minute on the
master clock was accompanied with q
rather startling sound and interrupted
the thoughts and conversations of the
dignified jurists. This Is said to have
caused the issuance OF decree for its
election and the substitution of sepa-
rate clocks in the courtrooms and cor
ridors. Each of these new time re-
corders will have to be wound and
regulated by hand. where in former
years attention given to the master
clock was sufficient to keep all the
courts opening and adjourning ON,
