Dickens Made Easy An order of adjudication In bank ruptcy was made in the consolidated cases of R. H. Plant by Judge Emory Speer in the United States court yes terday morning in the presence of prominent members of the Macon bar, who represented the Interests of the creditors in this matter. The order passed declared R. H. Plant and the estate of R. H. Plant bankrupt. By order of Judge Speer the case went to Referee Proudflt and within days there will be a dividend and a distribution of not over 50 per . cent, the funds in the hand* of Receiver orbin. The action taken by Judge Speer yesterday was the last of a series which have been considered the means saving to the creditors of R. II. Plant an immense amount of the funds involved. The saving of this large amount has been the result of the direction of litigation while the estate was in the hands of the court. When the court opened Attorney Thomas B. Felder asked for an order of adjudication and Judge Speer sign ed it soon after the work began. At torneys for Wallace E. McCatv* execu tor. and Mrs. Margaret R. Plant, exe cutrix. asked for 20 days In which to file the schedules of the assets and liabilities. To this Judge Speer re plied: The court is exceedingly reluctant to pass any order In this case which will embarrass counsel. It Is. -however, true, as stated by Mr. Akermnn, that if 20 days should be granted in which to file schedules, 4t would be a physl cal Impossibility ■ to hold the tirst meeting of creditors within the period In which the statute makes It lmpera tlve that It should be held. I particu larly regret that counsel should be embarrassed at this season of the year, but there are considerations In this case which make It Impossible for the court to grant any extension be yond 'that which the law limits and marks out. We all know how much suffering this case has entailed upon large clans of people who are little able to bear It. and we must do every thing now that the greater equities of the case have been adjusted In such a way that a dividend can be declared. hasten that dividend. The poor people need It nnd need it badly. There are hundreds of them. Some times we have to work right through, except ^ Christmas day. Happily Christmas day comes on Sunday nnd there will be no interference with the labors of counsel on that day. Sundny Is dies non any way. Mr. Dessau then asked for an ex tension of five days, to which Judge Speer replied: There Is no consideration In this case which will Justify me under the For LaGrange. accommodation... 6:45i»n» circumstances in granting any ex- Frm LaGrange, W. Spgs. Colum.. .11:16am tension whatever. The greatest expe dition must be exacted.'* In the order signed by Judge Speer the fact was set forth that as special master to take evidence upon the question as to whether R. H. Plant was insolvent nnd had committed nets of bankruptcy J. N. Talley had been appointed and the evidence ns taken by him was submitted. The state ment was further made that the at torneys for the executor nnd execu trix had admitted the Insolvency of R. H. Plant nnd that he had committed acts of bankruptcy. This cleared the way for the adju dication. No objection was made to any part of the order and little trans pired at the session of the court other than the matters Incident to the ad judication. The petition of F. B. Stubbs, 8. J. Stubbs, Mrs. 8. McAndrew and T. S. Felder against R. H. Plant, nnd that of L. W. Grace nnd Mrs. I* W. Grace, Mrs. Rosalie Franks. A. W. Lane nnd Lee Wages against R. H. Plant, were the two papers upon which the adju dication was secured. Those were filed In the courts soon after the fail- ure af the banks. Referee Proudflt now has the case In charge. Deputy Clerk L. M. Erwin signed the order which placed the case In Ids hands soon after Judge Speer passed upon the adjudication. He will give notice to the creditors nnd within ten days the schedules will he filed In bis office. He will require all the creditors to have their claims filed within three months, according to the bankruptcy laws nnd the affairs will be wound up with the regular pro cedure. The entire amount now in the hands of Receiver Corbin will not he dis tributed at once. The course which will be followed by Referee Proudflt is laid down In section 65 of the nets of congress amending the bankruptcy laws passed In 1903. This Is as fol lows*' "The first dividend shall be declared within thirty days nfter the adjudica tion, If the money of the estate in cess of the money necessary to pay debts which have priority and auch claims as have not been but probably will be allowed, equals 5 per centum or more of such allowed claims, pro vided that the first dividend shall not Include more than 50 per cent, of the money of the estate In excess of the amount necessary to pay the debts which have priority, nnd the final div idend shall be declared.” As soon as th- proper procedure has been completed the trustee will be elected by the creditors of the •state and the funds will be trans ferred from the hands of Receiver Corbin to him. The creditors have the privilege of electing one or three trus tees. Two cannot be chosen. It Is customary for the creditors to elect the trustee or trustees at the first meeting and this will be had a* soon as due notice has been made and all schedules with the names of the cred itors have been filed with the referee. Referee Proudflt will require all creditors to have their claims filed within three months from yesterday. It has been the nurpose of the court to wind up lltlratlon as eerly as pos sible and place the funds In the cred itors' hand* as speedily as possible and the referee will follow this course until all business has been transacted. The ea-e goes Into his hands with the probability of dividends to the creditors of not less than 35 per cent. The report of Receiver Corbin showed in sight about 33 1-3 with the addi tional amounts which will come from the stock yet in the MeCaw Manufac turing Company and in the Red Cy press Lumber Company.

Let the author give us\n hint of the truth In this from his preface: "A member of the Southern literary society wrote: ’Can you tell me where to find an outline Htudy of "Bleak House," or something about the char acters? While another lover of Dick ens asked: 'What book is Pecksniff In? nnd wdsn’t there a man named Sap- sea?’ " And there we have the whole truth! It Is for the "I,over of Dickens" wno lshes some one to tell him what hook Pecksniff Is In. that our patience delver In the mines of English liter ature has wrought. Lovers of Dickens."

"lov- of everything nnd renders of nothing: , members of Southern—and Northern—literary societies who wish outlines of "classics" and who yiil read books about hooks until their original Intellectual impulse, such as It was. ds shriveled to nothingness! It Is not enough to tempt a bonfire of all books, good nnd bad? It Is so foolish and false, this liter ary twaddle nbout books by "lovers of Dickens" who don’t know where look for Pecksniff. If the "lovers of Dickens" would follow up the Infor mat ion as tn Pecksniffs whereabouts study of his character and would draw a needed lesson from him, there would be some hope. But this sort 'lovers of Dickens" doesn't ask where to find Plcksnlff In order find him—but In order not to find him. He. or more probably she. merely wishes to be able to "talk" about Peck sniff without the danger of being stumped by some Inquirer who Is hon est enough to own Ignorance nnd ask embarrassing questions. This "lover of Dickens" Is n type. She Illustrates the emptiness and vanity of so much that passes for ed ucation, the falseness of so much that pretends to be seeking of ture. There Isn't an ounce of honesty In It. It Is all' pretense, and it ought to be punctured nnd flattened wherever It is found, like every oth er form of hypoerlcy. What Clubs Might Do. I think the literary clubs can something for the correction of this. It Is within their ranks that the lovers" abound, and It la due to tii Intelligent und sincere members o these societies that the pretenders should be not merely suppressed but shown the error of their attitude the harm which emerges from It to full chiefly upon themselves.

Piinenaat. the unlveralty X-rny specialist and sklngrapher, discovered that the continued use of the JC-rnys King Edward, at a meeting of his privy counoll, held ten dayp ago, pre sented the lord high chancellor with the new great sea! of the empire. The one which has been in use for the lost sixteen or eighteen years, hearing the heraldic devices of the late Queen, with her name and effigy, after being sol emnly "broken” or "defaced" by the monarch, has become the perquisite of the lord chancellor, who, In accordance ith cur tom, la having It converted Into a salver hearing his own arms and those of the sovereign. The new grent seal of England js constructed of finely tempered steel, instead of Bllver, as heretofore, and •annot ho broken. It consists of u pair f dies more than six Inches in dlame- •, nnd when made of silver these dies ere three-quarters of an inch thick. When required for the completion fit any state document the dice are closed, melted wax Is poured in, nnd in due time the great senl Is ready for attach ment. lhe pecultir shnpe of the gre».^ real has led to Its being occasionally" devoted to strange uses, and when the ccentrlc first Lord Brougham was lord high chancellor of the realm, he, on one slon,. while slaying with the Dow ager Duchess of Bedford at Rothle murchus, permitted the two sllve* disks constituting the grent seal, to be used for frying panenkes In the klteh- n by some of the younger members of the house party. So great Is the Importance attached to this emblem of British sovereignty thnt there are all sorts of ancient laws, still imrepealed, providing tot the cus tody of the grent seal. One old stat ute deolares thnt It may not be tnken out the United Kingdom. In fact, one of the offenses for which Cardlnnl Wolseley wns Impeached nnd punlsheJ during the Telgn of Henry VIII, was thnt he had violated the law by tnklng the great seal with him to France In his capacity ns lord keeper and high chancellor. The law makes It high trenson to counterfeit the great seal, nnd a lord high chancellor who allows the great seal out of his own custodv renders himself not only liable to re moval from office, hut likewise to still more serious pains nnd penalties. On two or three occasions In Eng lish history, when the grent seal teinpQrarlly out of the ke r 'p'r.g of the l-oncolor, statute* were en°et*:d pro claiming the nullity of nil documents sealed with the great seal during lio nhrehce from Its hands. Lord Chan cellor Thurlow loat the great seal tiuongh the burglary of bin London residence in Great Ormonde street, and It was ne.cr heard of again. The party spirit was so ntrong in those days that Lord Loughborough actual ly ascribed the burglary and theft to the Opposition a* n maneuver destln cd to cinbarrnsM the government. laord Chancellor Eldon was In the habit of sleeping with the great xenl under his pillow, nnd when, on one occasion hls house caught fire, hurried Into the garden and burled for safety in n flower In d. "But." says Lord Campbell In hls matnolres: "What between hln alarm on Lady Eldon's account and hls admiration of the houBemnlds In their vestal at tire, he could not remember the next morning the spot where ho had hidden the seal, nnd you never SUW anything so ridiculous ns tho whole family nnd servants engaged In probing nnd dig ging about III the flower beds with sticks until the great seal whs found." In 1888 when James II was fleeing from England he deliberately dropped the great seal Into the Thames, off Vniixhall, knowing that nothing could poMKlhly cause so much Inconvenience to the government which hud do|H>s ed hltn as the absence of the great sen I, and tho Impossibility therefore to summon Parliament or to under take any sovereign act until a new one was engraved. For a few days the grent seal lay nt the bottom of the Thnmes, until It was picked up In a fisherman's net and restored to Its pro|ier rustndlnn>, In olden Mines the grent seal when It went out of use wns broken In earn est, usually In the House of Lords by means of the sledge hummer wield* by a sturdy blacksmith. But In these modern times tho "breaking" or "do facing'’ Is of n purely metaphorical order, and consists in a gentle tap with a small hammer by the sovereign during a session of tho privy council summoned for the purpose, the fucement” being entered upon the minutes of the council. great seal of a sovereign la I th, Darsey Builds ’Em Drays end Wagons are his “long suit"—in fact, his only suit, but ho suits the cuetomer best of all.

An imrxirtnnca has been accorded them on this aide of the Atlantic which appears a trifle ridiculous to those who.know both the circumstances under which tho utterances were delivered and who ar«? acquainted with the orator. Hlr Edward, though a most success ful lawyer and one of the leaders of the English bur. Is a singularly tactlena nnd wrong-headed man, whose humor, despite hln diminutive ststure. Is of the elephantine order, and who, a self- made man, without the advantages of early culture and of breeding possessed by most of his fellow-leaders of the English bar, has the faculty of making more enemies than friends. During the baccarat trial. In which he defend ed Sir William Gordon Gumming, he contributed In no small measure to the latter's defeat, by the manner In which he alienated popular sympathy from the baronet by going out of hls wsy to assail the then Prince of Wales, con triving by sheer lack of tact to convert the entire controversy Into sn Issue, not between the Wilsons, of Trnnhy Croft nnd Sir William, but between the latter and the heir apparent Then, too, be made the mistake of accepting a retainer In behalf of Oscar Wilde, and In undertaking the defense of that gifted, but Ignoble, creature In the lat ter's law suit with the late Marqula of Queens berry. It was these things, cou pled with his refusal to give up his private practice, that caused the solic itor ami attorney generalship to he withheld from him when the Unionist* last came Into office. Mr Edward was a <• :»>.**-pupil of 8ir Henry Irvtog at the City Com- >mercktl School, .where he. received hls education, and n« a leporter secured tho means to study for tho bar. How homely hln appearance Is may he gathered from the fact thnt the other tiny, when addreaNlng u workingman's club in a locality where he was un known, people were l.-card to remark, "what a very Intelligent speech for u laboring man." In Parliament he haa been a distinct failure. Captious, self-oplnloned, ag- grenslve. Irritable, he seemed to g‘*t on to the nerves of the house, nnd hls grating manners have blinded 'many people to the fine sides of IiIk char acter, hls honesty, hie patriotism, hls conscientiousness, and hln Independ ence. It may he ndded thnt he Is a dis appointed man. For hls nmhltone have been to shine as n statesman rather than ns a great lawyer and It was In consequence of this that he declined a few yeara ago the master ship of the rolls, one of the most lu crative position!* on the bench, nnd which ysually carries with it a seat In thu House of l/>rds.
