Supreme Court Pomp,
The o opening of the Supreme Court is
one of the stage accessories, declares the
New Yclrk Graphic, to official life at
Washington. Anyone who has ever been
prese.it will never forget the scene. The
worn i3 a stuffy one at best and is rather
an faced owlish-looking place. One placid¬
negro sits at the door with a string
in his hand to help him open it without
trouble. Another, but a White haired,
son of Africa sits inside to aid him.
Neither one of them would demean him¬
self by pulling the string for anyone less
than a Senator or a member of the House.
Ordinary citizens must push their way
inside unaided. No one must carry a
newspaper openly within the sacred pre¬
cincts, for the rule is absolute that no
readiug of journals is allowed in the
court. Nor must any notes of the pro¬
ceedings do be that. taken—the official reporter
is to all
Once inside suppose the clock over the
door is striking noon. If it is striking
at all that is the hour one hears, for it
never sounds save to call the court to¬
gether. Behind the long curtains that
hang in the rear of the bench the judges
are formed, dressed in their silken robes.
The grave faced old crier stands at one
end of the tfourt and then looks sternly
around to note if all are in proper state to
receive their honors. Then, with an ele¬
vated chin and a loud voice, he an
nounces: “Ihe Honorable the Chief
Justice and the Associated Justices of
the Supreme Court of the United States!’’
The audience rises, the curtain parts, the
judges step forward and bowing low
stand who an instant the facing those present,
return salutation, “Oyez,
oyez, ” says the modulated voice of the
crier; “all persons having any business
with the Honorable the Supreme Court
of the United States are admonished to
draw near, for the Court is now in ses¬
sion.” And with a quick, sharp glance
around to see that no unregenerate
citizen has yet dared to be seated, the
official adds impressively: “Godsave the
United States and this Honorable Court.”
The business has begun.
Physicians in Metropolitan Office
Buildings.
“Quite a number of physicians are
opening offices in the large New York
building occupied business by brokers, bank¬
ers, lawyers and other men,” said
the President of a railroad companyto a
Telegram reporter.
“Yes, indeed.” said he, “there are
probably twenty-five doctors who are
making good incomes from their prac¬
tice down here. It is a new' departure,
of course, but then it pays and that is
everything nowadays. There used to be
a time when no one thought of consult¬
ing any the one but his family only physician, drink
just same as some men in
certain places, but now nearly every one
wiii drop into the most convenient re¬
sort, and this is particularly true of busi¬
ness men. They get so fagged out at
night that they haven’t ambition enough
to consult a doctor, and others cannot
find the time.
“Then, again, there are so many cases
of sudden prostration that some person
is bound to require medical treatment
every day m any of the big office build¬
ings. Men find it an easy matter to drop
into the ’doctor’s office’ on their w T ay up
or down stairs, and not a few have come
to dispense with the attendance of their
former family physician altogether.
Most of these downtown doctors, as
they are called, are young men of abili¬
ty, who, on account of their inexperience
and lack of ‘pull,’ have failed to estab¬
lish a paying business up town.
Their office hours are from nine to five,
but from that time they are generally at
liberty until the following day.”

A Sailor Spins a Yarn.
A man attired in the picturesque blue
uniform and jaunty cap of the sailor of
the United States Navy, was among the
passengers who strolled along mother the plat¬ in
form. He was to meet his
Washington. Each had thought that
the other had been dead for over a quart¬
er of a century. He gave his name as
Benjamin Cooper, and said : “Yes, I
was but 15 years of age I was living
with mother on a little farm in Mich¬
igan. Father had died, aud had left us
the farm. When the war fever was in¬
tense I became enthusiastic, and in
1802 left home to become a sailor and
have been one ever since. I went to sea
on the Cumberland, the vessel that was
afterward sunk by tlie Merrimac. I was
transferred to the Mississippi River fleet
and went to Vicksburg aud New-Orleans.
I was on Admiral Farragut’s flagship
on the memorable occasion when he was
lashed to the masthead and gave his or¬
ders. I shall never forget that exciting
time, and how Farragut’s bravery made
his men more enthusiastic than they
had ever been before. After the war I
■started for my homoin Michigan. While
in Chicago I learned that my mother
was dead, and under the impulse of ----- the
moment I re enlisted in the navy, where
I have been ever since. I have been
around the world three times. A short
time ago, when I was in San Francisco,
my time expired. While there, unde¬
cided what to do or where to go, I heard
that mother was still alive anil well, and
that she was living in Washington. had I
learned, too, that she thought I
been dead for years. I have saved a
good portion of my earnings and nearly
all of the prize money that I received
during-the war, and have now a snug
little estate that will keep mother and
myself comfortable for the rest of
lives. I left San Francisco as soon as I
heard that she was still living. To-night
I expect to see her for the first time
since 18,62.”
Changed His Local ion.
It is not safe to help a baby in distress
if ihe baby happens to be a Spanish king.
A short time ago, King Alfonso XIII re¬
ceived a present of a new swinging cra¬
dle, aud was put into it. He didn’t
like it and cried, Only the nurse and
a few special attendants are permitted by
law r to touch his majesty, but a man ser¬
vant who was near at the time, seeing
that his King was trying to roll out of
the cradle and threatened to hurt him
selt by screaming, lifted him out. For
his zeal and kind-heartedness he was im¬
mediately dismissed by the court marshal.
Luckily the queen regent was willing, in
view of the extenuating circumstances,
to mitigate the man’s punishment, and
gave him something else to do in one of
tlie royal castles, where he could not have
any king possible and opportunity of lifting the
breaking the law.
Four great necessities of mankind, the
air, the blood, money and the newspaper,
need their a good circulation in order to do
best work. Help the newspaper

selves.
