The Trial Justices of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department (New York county) appeared in gowns at the beginning of the new year.

Not to be behind, the judges of the criminal courts did likewise. The army and the navy have a uniform, and why should not the judiciary also? And so the argumonl goes. The law prescribes a uniform for soldiers and sailors, but not for judges. Some say pu'blic officials have no right to wear uniforms in the performance of their official duties unless there be a statute for it. The judges have no more right to do so than any other public officers.

Is it not for the people to decide? But still, why not gowns if the judges want them? The gown may beget more respect or awe of a certain kind for them, but it will not impart to them brains, philosophy or learning. The trial judges in Kings County have decided to put the court officers in uniform. This seems to he a proper thing. Those having business in the courts should be enabled to pick out the officers. 'There are so few officers in the Supreme court rooms that it is not always easy to find one.

There are a greater number in the two parts of the County Court than in the seven parts of the Supreme Court. There are no political appointments in the latter court. Mr. Justice Ward and Justice Johnson went out of office with the old year. They are both able lawyers of large experience at the bar.

They had no trouble in filling their places on the bench. Judge Ward sat only two months, but acted from the beginning like a veteran judge. His scholarship and legal ability put( the educated bar in immediate and pleasant working harmony with him. Judge Johnson sat for over a year. It was known to all that he was a comprehensive lawyer, but only a few of those who knew him best were aware that he nossessed Mr.

Saw Vvrk. y. Y. UNION BECOME STRANAHAH AVENUE. Proposed Ordinance Will Probably Come Before Municipal Assembly Soon.

HISTORY OF THE PROJECT. The City Charter Barred a Previous Attempt to Honor the First Citizen's Memory. The proper time has arrived for the revival of tho plan broached last spring to change the name of Union street in South Brooklyn to Stranahan avenue, in commemoration of th lengthy and invaluable services rendered to this community by tho late James S. T. Stranahan, who died in Saratoga September last at the age of DO years.

Mr. Stranahan had long been affectionately regarded as Brooklyn's first citizen and during his lifetime unique honors had been, heaped upon him. The proposition to change the name of the street in which he lived was of this character, often suggested before the plan took definite form last spring with the introduction in the upper branch of the Municipal Assembly by Councilman McGarry of a resolution providing for the change of name from Union street to Stranahan. avenue. Mr.

Stranahan was in very feeble health at the time and it was feared he would not survive a return of his illness. It was hoped, therofore. that the chauge of name might be effected before his death. This expectation, was defeated, however, through a peculiar provision of the city charter which absolutely prevented any action at the time. Councilman McGarry's resolution in the form of an ordinance was introduced in the council on April 24 and referred to' mittee on streets and highways for examina" tion and report.

It never came out of that committee, owing to the following charter provision contained in section 49 giving the Municipal Assembly power: To regulate tht; niimberlnj; of the houses and lots in the streets nmi avenues the numinff of the avenues and public places; but It shall n.jt be. lawful te. number or renumber any houses ur to ciiar.Ke the came of any street, avenue or public iilac. save between the Ilrst Jay of ember of any year ami the first day of May next ensuing. The time has now arrived when this measure may be taken up and acted upon by the Municipal Assembly.

The first thing necessary to be done is to get the committee on streets and highways of the Council to report ihe ordinance out. This accomplished, it can corne up in regular or. if agreed to, special order. for passage through the Council. Whim it must go to the Board of Aldermen, for passage.

It. does not appear that there should be any nialorial opposition developed toward the measure. Mr. Slranahaci's life long tion to Brooklyn's interests, his great and effective part in public affairs here for year and the beneficial results of his labors for tha Brooklyn park system, would all seem to entitle him to the lasting consideration of his fellow citizens of this borough. Then again, Mr.

Stianahan's persistent labors in behalf ot consolidation and his interest from the beginning in the building of the Brooklyn bridge give him a peculiar claim upon the old city of New York. When the question of honoring his memory in this additional respect by changing the name of Union street to Stranhan avenue comes up in the Assembly for action. it is safe to say Brooklyn's representatives will voice public sentiment here by voting cordially and unanimously for the mea ure. There Is no reason of force for denying the application for the change of name and there are many reasons for its adoption. As already intimated, there appears to be no ground for opposition from the representatives of Manhattan and the Bronx, and it is reasonably certain that if the Brooklyn mea press the question and manifest interest in it it can be saiisfactorily settled.

Councilman McGarry. the introducer of the, resolution, will probably take pains to see that it lingers no longer in committee, mow that the time is fur its final deter miinatlon. ONE COMPANY'S GROWTH. Progress of Insurance as Shown hy th New York Life's Statement. The Xew York Life Insurance Company has just issued its fifty fourth annual statement, dated January 1, In it are included the assets, liabilities, cash income and expenditures during the past year.

The company's cash income from new renewed premi um. interest on bonds, mortgages, loans andi other securities and rents, reached a total Siri. llil.lil'i. a sum which exceeded the agg gate expenditures by SH.tCii.'.ifi l. The co pany paid, for los es.

endowments and annul I ties within tne iw oivo montns of lSHS oA'er I duo. nun. On December SI. 1S07. it ear rie 1 policies, but new insurance pai during ly.iS.

together with old insurance revived and increased during the same tint r.ii. il the total caid for business to 407. 2i ulieis at the outset of the current yeuv which represents more than Sl.OUO.Mit'.OOO. 4'fce amount deducted, by reason of death, lia turity and surrender is small when placed Xt comparison wiui in is great aggregate. most striking feature of the balance shee li the section which illustrates the itr jwth of the company within the last scvi years.

Since December the, assets of the ceneem have jumped from Sl o.ii lT. 10 S215.1IJ 1.S11, the present amount, showing a gain of l. All of the comparisons made in the table are quite as as that sets, but particularly the number the as of policies in foru e. The latter give evidence of a gain since Yesterday the company received the official confirmation of its statement from Louis F. l'ayu, Superintendent of Insurance at Albany.

GOID FOB, CUBA. 1 Muller. Seuall ft Co. shipped $500,000 gold to Havana 011 the steamship Concho yesterday. The gold was partly French and partly i.i American eagles.

Liideuburg, Thalmn Co. also shiuped $100,000 gold by the steamer. "tit England for law allowing appeals from judgments of conviction in criminal cases. The only way to get relief from a wrongful conviction is by application for pardon or reprieve to the Home secretary. Upon such We have gone to the other extreme in this state.

Convictions of persons who are un doubtedly guilty are habitually reversed on I technicalities which did not and could not weigh a feather upon the trial. The recent case of the People v. Corey is an example, The defendant was convicted cf murder in the first degree. The killing was dyne by an assault with a knife. There was evidence that he declared prior to the homicide that he i would kill tlie deceased, and having run away after committing the deed he wrote home, "I meant to IciM him." The eonv'ic'iion 3 3 reversed by the Court of Appeals for technical errors.

Two judges dissented saying, "There is really no dispute about the main and controlling points in this case," and that the court "Should disregard the technical errors and defects pointed out and affirm the judgment." The recent imprisonment of the editor of the Boston Traveller for contempt of court has attracted too little attention. He published an article in his newspaper during a criminal trial which if read by the jury was calculated, to inHuence them. The court ordered him to appear before it and answer for contempt, and having heard him sentenced him to a term of imprisonment. The Supreme Judicial Court sue'taine t'he action of the trial court on appeal. Although the law on the subject is substantially the same here as In Massachusetts, not only do some newspapers in New York county publish like articles, but, as in the recent Moore cases, they are often given out for publication by the prosecuting officers, with demoralizing consequences.

One has no more right to print something for jurors to read in order to affect their minds, than he had to seek them out and talk it to them. BROOKLYN SOCIETY by the death of his young wife, who was very popular. The other engagement is that of Miss Mabel Dtck erson of 363 Washington avenue, one of the most fashionable young womea of the Hill set. She and her sister. Miss Edna Dick erson, have been leaders in this part of the city for several years and are widely known.

Miss Dickerson's fiance is Charles Mcllvaine, an architect of Philadelphia and a man of much prominence in that city. Events of social moment are now beginning to crowd thick and fast, though there is not very much on the cards that is new. The plans for the Ihp etcnga ball on January 17 are now complete.

The Trial Term of the Supreme Conrt of Kings county started the New Year with a set ol new calendar ruls, adopted by the trial judges. They were much needed, and are welcomed by the working bar.

It is to be hoped that all of the judges will adhere to iheim. If one or two do not they can make it hard for the other judges and the bar. Objection' will doubtless be made to them those who neither study nor work, and who deal in false excuses for their unireadiness. The rule that not more than two oa uees will be held ready for one counsel, in addition to the one he is engaged in trying, will be found no hardship. It was in fact an'no unced over two years ago by a judge in Part I where the calendar is called.

The rallrtKid com panies immedtately complied with it by organizing corps of young lawyers to try their oau ses, and the success they have since had in the courts is well known. Up to that time the said companies by h'3 vin'g oniy r.vo or three lawyers to try all their causes bad actually blocked the calendars. The difficulty of getting such causes on to trial amounted to a denial of justice to the plaintiffs. The rule that iail excuses must be presnted in writing will do aw ay with claims of excuses which do not exist. The judges have adopted a rule thet no juror shall be excused from service except upon application in court.

It would be well for thorn to also stop the excusing of jurymen in the commissioner of jurors' office. Kav they ever looked into that matter? A house has recently announced by circular "a sanitary bible" for use in the courts. The covers are of white ceP.u.'oid. A paragraph of the circular Is as folloivs: "For reasons which will be oibvions to every court omeia. the front cover or this bio.e i embellished with a cross." And what are the reasons so obvious that thiey do not need to be stated? The law requires no cross, nor can any court even require a witness to be sworn upon the bible.

Witnesses may swear by uplifted band, or may only afnrtm in like manner, if they choose. The law has no preference for any of these methods. At least one or two judges of the Supreme Court In Kings county have done away with the use of the bible in the swearing of witnesses. They have some regard to cleanliness, and do not ask that the dirty covers or a bible bo touched, much less kissed. The paragraph quoted probably embodies the very ignorant notion that there aTe certain Christians who think the oath is not binding on the conscience if there "be no cross on the bible.
