A new series of subscription dances is being given in Brooklyn this year those of the Brooklyn Bicycle Club, which organization, now of the ancient age of 22 years, has nothing of the wheel about It save Its name.

This club house, on the corner, of South Elliott and Hanson places, is a fine, old fashioned mansion, and it has been attractively fitted out. The club moved into it last June.

Supper was served at small tables in the reception room, on the second floor, which is decorated in green and has its chief charm in a fine fireplace.

The guests were given the club house's freedom. Early in the evening they wandered through the bowling alleys and billiard room and the pretty frocks worn made a new variety of club picture. The patronesses were Mrs. George Sandhusen, Mrs. W.

J. McCahill, Mrs. W. L. Garcia, Mrs.

No cutting, no loss of time; book free; pay Wbeu cured: Brooklyn references. The appointment of Mr. JuBlice Hirschberg of Newburgh to the Appellate Division has. left the legal profession in vhat is called the "river counties" of this judicial department in much embarrassment. The term of Judge Barnard of Poughkecpsie, who was serving by appointment of the governor during the unexpired part of his term after reaching the age limit, as permitted by the constitution of 1895, expired with last year.

That and the appointment of Judge Hirschberg left these counties without a resident Justice of the Supreme Court. The result is that the already overworked Judges in this vicinity have to hold courts at Newburgh or Poughkeepsie each Saturday. The folly of Ave judges taking their ease in the Appellate Division, without work to really occupy more than half their time, and only eight trial Judges to do the great work of administering justice, is almost inconceivable. An Appellate Division of three judges would be ample. What tho bar and the people want is an adequate force of capable trial judges.

The hair splitting of overgrown appellate courts can be dispensed with. The whole world does not furnish an example of the judicial system imposed on this state by lhc constitution of 1895. The object of the framers of that article is becoming more and more manifest as time passes. Lawyers who knew the nervous, active life of Judge Barnard during his long service on the bench wonder how he lives with nothing to do. The bar in the river counties had grown accustomed to all his waj'S, peculiarities, impatiences smd even rudenesses and part with him with regret.

No juster judge, after all is said and done, ever sat. He had vehement likes and dislikes, but did justice. The celebrated George Barnard of New York county who was impeached was bis, brother. He was nervous, peculiar and of marvelous insight, like as our Judge Barnard is called, but beyond this the similarity did not go. Their dissimilarity was well expressed by an eminent lawyer who knew them both, "Show George where his friends are and he don't care a where the law is: but show Joe what the law is and he don't care a where his friends are." If you want to see a "gem" of pretentious verbiage look at the opinion on the denial of the motion for an injunction against the proposed Ramapo contract (29 "This motion is to continue pendente lite a preliminary The learned judge wouldn't stoop to say that it was a motion to make the preliminary injunction as our code of practice expresses it.

He does not like to hit the bull's eye like that. "The complaint of the plantiff sets says the learned judge, lest some of us should otherwise think it might be "the complaint of the defendant Ii would never do to eay the plaintiff asks for sn injunction; not at all; "he invokes lhc equitable interference of this is the way to say it. It's somewhat stale, and reveals a 3tate of tyrociny, but enough said. But this opinion contains one piece of learning which should be hung up (preferably on a gibbet) at every legal four corners in the state. The learned judge says: "The allegation upon information and belief that the proposed contract 'is the result of a fraudulent political is unsupported by any averment of source of the information or the grounds of the belief.

Such a form of allegation is entirely insufficient and serves no effective purpose in a pleading." Just think of a suggestion from a Justice of the Supreme Court of ttfc State of New York that an allegation on information and belief in a complaint is not good (or to use his verbiage, "serves no effective purpose in a unless supported by an of the source of the information or grounds of the belief." Never mind such stun, my brethren of the bar, unless for amusement. An allegation in a pleading cn information and belief is as good' as a positive allegation, and the source of the information and the grounds of the belief should never be stated, it is likely the idea in the mind of the judge struggling for expression was that a general allegation of fraud in a complaint Is not good, but that the facts constituting the fraud must be stated. But it is more than likely that the crude dictum of the learned judge will be taken seriously by some lawyers, and we shall have a crop of complaints drawn in conformity with it. Pleading and practice In New York county have been distorted and corrupted and made illiterate and absurd by similar remarks from the bench being followed. A learned bur should not acquiesce in them.

Why do you persistently do this thing. Robert G. Scherer. reporter of the Miscellaneous Reports? Is it. for the sake of the printer, or to increase the number of volumes vou get out.

when you ought to try to get out as few as possible? When the judge at the end of his opinion says "The motion is or "I direct a verdict for the or "Judgment for the or as the case may b. you invariably repeat the same thing about half an inch below. Why? It looks nasty. You may say that the reporter of the Court of Appeals, for instance, does the like, and worse, but should you imitate him," or set him an example, which? Pick up any of your numbers at random, that of December 2nd, 1S30. At page 394 the judge writes "I direct a verdict for the Under it.

you write "Verdict for plaintiff." At page 3117 the Judge writes "Demurrer overruled, with costs, and leave tc answer on payment of costs." Under it you write "Demurrer overruled with costs, with leave to answer At page 399 the judge writes "There must be judgment for the I Under it you write "Judgment for On page 404 tho judge says he "directs" judgment for 567S.21. Under it I you ludicrously write "Ordered accordingly." Do you not think you ought to stop this at i once? You are not a keeper of a record of! orders or judgments. Your office is only to report and head note the opinions of judges, Why do you also add the words "plaintiff" and "defendant" in the title of an action? In the action of John Doc against Richard Roe are you afraid some oue may think John Doc is the defendant and Richard Roe the plaintiff Leave all these miserable little ignorant things to other reporters, Mr. Scherer. Don't you imitate them.

The members of the New York county bar are beginning to appreciate the force and efficacy ot the few crisp calendar rules of the Supreme Court in Kings county. They are not only able to know when a case is about to come on the day calendar over here, but they are sure of its not being postponed for any frivolous excuse. They are growing weary of the pamphlet of 31 pages of trial court rules in New York county, and still more weary of the confusion existing in the trial courts over there. If you want amusement just read that pamphlet of rules. The learned judges of the Appellate Division of the first department are the authors.

It is even worse than their average opinions. Never was so much Hat and stupid verbiage brought together in the same One rule would make even a cow laugh. It is repeated several times in respect of different, divisions of the court, namely, that lhc court shnll sit every day during specified weeks of each month "except on Sundays and legal As though there was danger of the judges working on Sundays and holidays, or as" though there might be some oue elected over there to the great Supreme Court of the State of New York who would know no better. F.R.id: most of them seem disinclined to work at all. if the empiy court rooms day ufter u.iy after noou testify to anythitiE.

No less than eleven dances are to be placed to the credit of the past six days, eight ot them eince Tuesday night. It has indeed been the dancing week forecasted, and much more. Even for the heart February, when Lent is rapidly approaching and many festal events must be compressed into a brief cpace of time, the week has been a remarkable one. The dances have been of every order subscription, club, private balls, a masquerade in one instance, a cotillon of decided originality in another. But one verdict can be given with regard to them that all have been participated ih with unusual enthusiasm.

This column on Wednesday reviewed fully the Mansion House Subscription Dance ot Monday, the dances ot the Mleses Campbell at their home. 1,315 Pacific street, and of tho Alumnae of the Berkeley Institute at the Berkeley Institute on Tuesday. It remains to sketch in detail the four interesting dances on Wednesday, the four of Friday. Of the latter, the pre Lentcn Dance at the Pouch Gallery, with William F. Leggett and J.

Everett Sparrow, its committeemen, and Mrs. Augustus P. Day, Mrs. William Cullen Bryant, Mrs. Charles F.

Leggett, Mrs. Jonathan Moore, Mrs. James R. Sparrow, Mrs. Frank Russell Baker and Mrs.

Jacob S. Van Wyck, its patronesses, stands out in relief as one of the best of subscription affairs of tho winter. This dance, started at the east end and by cast end men, grew so vigorously in popularity that at the hour ot iu taking place no loss than four distinct sets of Brooklyn society were represented in the spacious ball room. As a picture, pure and simple, the dance was strangely pretty. Wisely, no attempt at decoration had been made, and the scene was left to depend upon the dainty frocks of the night.

There was a multiplicity of such, an array of costumes wonderfully pleasing, though oimple for the most part. There was an unusual number of extremely attractive girls on the floor as well. From 150 to 175 men and girls were, present, and there was no lack of briskness in the dancing. The numbers were short, but encores and extras never failed. The orders were very simple little cards ot white, without display.

The Gair dance, given on Wednesday evening by Mrs. Robert Gair of Xew York avenue, for ber daughters. Miss Gair, Miss Jessie Gal and Miss Elizabeth Gair. this also at the Pouch Gallery, proved a very notable function. The guests were, in the greatest measure, of the Park Slope.

Hill and Bedford Heights sections, and their number was sufficient to well fill the ample space of the Pouch. This was essentially a St. Valentine ball, and the dancing orders simulated hearts. Much added brilliancy was lent the occasion by the carrying out of a brilliant red decorative color. Miss Gair and the Misses Gair had receiving with them Miss Beers, Miss Drummbnd, Miss Watkins and Miss Katharine Bell of the Borough of Manhattan, Mis3 McGregor and Miss Lillian Dunlap of Montreal.

For the second of the Bedford Heights cotillons, planned for the same evening (Wednesday), the residence, ot Mrs. William H. Lyon, 170 New York avenue, was selected.

Under the leadership of Joseph A. McCarrdll, who danced with Miss Jessie Pollard, Mrs. Lyon's niece, a cotillon of many novelties and much pleasurable frivolity was indulged in, the cotillon starting off the evening and general dancing coming after supper. Miss Lyon, Miss Pollard, Miss Grace Edith Thallon and Miss Margaret Cutler welcomed the guests, Mrs. Marvin Lyon presiding over the favors.

Nineteen couples danced. Valentine's Day was the keynote to the entire cotillon, all the more important favors and figures having been chosen with reference to this festal hour. In one figure, for example, both girls and men each received a little red heart. These hearts had originally been in pairs and the double heart had been cut in twain, irregularly, roughly, so that each piece matched only its mate. This matching had to be acpomplished by each set of dancers brought upon the floor.

Again girls and men favored one other with wildly sentimental, highly ornate valen tines the genuine affair. Another set of favors comprised little hearts for the girls to wear (literally upon their sleeves), crowns, each bearing three hearts, for the men. A third brought the men court plaster cases in the shape of hearts (painted by Miss Pollard), the girls' big gilded spoons, every one with a valentine verso painted in its bowl. In one of the figures five couples were set to waltzing and then the men brought other men. The girls were given a little heart and a little mitten apiece, and they put these behind them, one of these articles each hand.

Blindly each new man had to choose a hand. If it was a mitten that came forth he was promptly sent back to his seat, if it was the heart he was entitled to a dance with the girl who held it. Quaint, whimsical conceits like these made this cotillon what It was. The novelties never failed, and Mrs. McCarroll was unflagging in bringing them forward.

This lender's greatest triumph was. however, the butterfly figure. The girls called out for each turn were given, each, a pair of butterfly wings, the making of which was Miss Daisy Plymp ton's idea and her handiwork. Elastics, slipped under the girl's arms, held the pair of wings firmly on her shoulders, and as she danced later tho wings would move gracefully. It made a daintily pretty effect when a roomful of butterfly winged maids danced.

The girls on the floor were then given a paper flower and a fan. The same number of men were armed with butterfly nets. At a signal the leader threw Ave little paper butterflies in the air. Each matched one of the paper flowers the girls now wore. The girls rushed forward and with their fans endeavored to keep the butterflies in the air.

Meanwhile the men tried to secura them in the nets. It would be a smart and a laughn ble contest for several moments, when tho butterflies would finally be imprisoned in the nets, and each man would dance with the girls whose flower corcrsponded with his individual capture. The large butterfly wings very clever pieces of painting proved one of the most attractive favors of the night. The ices, fancy cakes and confectionery on the supper table were all in the form of hearts. The table itself was in pink.

Those dancing included: Miss Alice Collin, Miss Ethel James, Miss Grace Edith Thallon, Miss May Hopkins, Miss Jessie Miss Margaret Cutter, Miss Rosemond Roberts, Miss Ethel Fox, Miss Edith Brower, Miss Helen Bassett, Miss Elizabeth Smith.

He was in Buffalo to read a paper before a religious congress on the evils of the present governmental system and the benefit of its paternalism.

While on the way to the church wbere he was to read his paper he got oB. from a moving car backward and was thrown to the ground and so severely shaken that It was with difficulty that, he got to the meeting and set forth his ideas to the audience.

I am looking for the third poem. Edwin Marltham said that the "strenuous heavens" bowed when Lincoln was made. I thought that Theodore Roosevelt had a monopoly of "strenuousness" In these parts. The hopelessness of the task of abolishing religious sects is again illustrated by th schism in the Church of the First Born in Indianapolis. The church was organized by Kid McCoy's father.

The creed teaches' that Christ will appear in fifty years, and that the members of the church will not die. The church at present is composed of McCoy's father and mother and two ether men and their wives. They live in a house together, hold ail their property in common and eat at one table. What they eat is decided by a majority vote. Oue of the men could not drink coffee and McCoy's ftther would not serve tea so the man bought some tea for himself and bought, beside a loaf of bread for himself.

This violation of 'he communal principle stirred up the ju'izt? father and there was a row.
