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.” The First Railroad Ticket.

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.
