The forgerles ilite luck ever 11 period of
Miveral ye.irs, and Ileraeg managed se well
in all these years that no nete of his ever
went te pretest. Tlie secrecy with which
banks keep their bushiest from one another
Is welt Illustrated In Ilcrzeg's ease. The
Tanner's bank elllcers bclleied they were
doing all Ids business, thu County bank olll elll
cers were of llie sitne opinion, mid seen
through the list of banks. When 11
nole uiatuied nt the 1'aimei 'si rank lie would
net ii'iiuw It, but would lift It with cash re
coil ed en n forced note dls'-eimteil by some
ether bank.
Iheliank elllcers mill claim that tliu In In
eorsements en the notes held by them nre
genuine, nml will go 011 mid sne te
recover their face vnlue as fast ns
the notes mature. If en the trial of the
several causes a jury siys the notes are forger
ies, they will h.ie te bear the lottes. One of
them remarked te a represent.itlie of the
lNTi:i.i.Hii:.ci-:n that Horreg may change his
mind, go en the w Itness stand mid My that
the notes nre genuine te escape the penalty
for forgery. Hut en the ether hand Herreg
has confessed his crimes te several jmrtics
and that confession will stariihini In the fjee
if he should nt any time siy that the Indorse Inderse
ments en the netiM me genuine. Anether
feature in the cases are that the cl 11 suits en
tlie notes cannot he reached for 11 year or year
nnd 11 half, and long liefore that tlmu Hcr7eg
w 111 have liecn tried and probably cenvhteil
qn several ofthe cliatges of feigeiy.
Who will sutler by Ids inability te testify ?
In the absence of his evidence tlie question
as te whether the Indersements were forged
w 111 rest prlncliwlly en expert testimony in
ndditinntotliedeui.il ofthe defendants that
they Indorsed the notes in dispute.
Heiveg frequently etl'ered netcsat tlielunk
w here the makers were unknew 11 tothebnuk
efllcers. He was told they could net ills
count the notes unless n person known te
tliciu would add his name as ludorter. He
would leply, "all right" nnd usk w hcther the

Subject te the above queries, the opinion
ortlie committee is also desired en the fol
lowing general points :
Without Creating New Court..
First. Should relief be sought by curtail
ing tlie ajipellate Jurisdiction of tlie supreme

(6) by making the Judgments of the com

such as w rlts of ccrtiefucinnd appeals fiem

(c) What previsions should be made for
causes being reviewed by the (.upreme court
wherein important questions nre decided nnd
the amounts hi controversy me under the
money limit T
A'cceiiif. In lieu of, or in conjunction with
thunbevu should receurse te tlie supreme
court be discouraged by ienalties for vexa
tious litigation ? What "should tlie penalties
be mid hew should they be enforced ?
Tlie prev isiens of the present act of Assem
bly have had no cllect whatever, ns the
judges seldom if ever nnnly them in anv
case In wlilehtlieterin efaii argument is gene
through with.
TMril. Would it Ite ad visible te provide
that w here the narties consent, the supreme

inent upon printed briets?
Should such 11 rule be general or lestrieted te

11 the Creation ul circuit Courtis.
If the committee should consider that cir

inent. ir several of the weeks of each
year me te lie taken up by them, in healing
nrguments ns circuit judges there will lie
lower weeks or common picas trials nml ns n
consequence a greater length or thne will
elapse between the entering efn civil suit
and its Hunt disposition by Jury trial.
A Multipllrlt) r Coin l.
A tlilid lawyer slid he opposed tlie pro
posed bill because he did net lieliuve in 11
multiplicity of courts. Our sy.stem, he con
tinued, is new tee cumbersome. A man may
have a claim for 11 small amount. He will
enter suit lsroie a magistrate. The defendant
will 11ppc.il fiem thu decision or the nlder
inan. Tlie suit is next arbitrated, nml the
defendant will nppe.il for the second thne te
the ee iut of common plens nnd t ihe verdict
it against him in that court, lie w ill go te the
snpieine ceuit. If you glve hlni 11 circuit
court he will go there, beiuiu lie gees te tlie
supicnie ceuit, uud thus put oil the day of
reckoning.
The next attorney seen sdd the proposed
act establishing circuit courts wns Just what
l'hiludclphijuud Allegheny counties desired,
nnd while these two counties nloue would be
benefitted, the balance of tlie statu would
suller. If a ciicult lemt Is established it
would take suiliclcnt business from the
supreme court te give theso two counties nil
thu time needed for 11 Tiill argument of their
cases Tlie ether counties would suller
liecause their judges would be absent fiem
their ceuits a part of each year in hearing
argument usclicuit Judget. The Inst census
gave Philadelphia county ii population et Slfl,
UMi. They have tliere 1- common pleas and
tluee orphan ceuit judges, or nnu Judge te
every u-ieB inhabitants The jiopulatieii
of Allegheny county Is rkV,b7l uud tliere
they have eight judges for every
11,1s') inhabitants Iiucaster county
has 110,111 inhabitants and two judges,
or ene judge for C9,7ii Inhabitants.
It is hilt te presume that tlie business
Is about the simu In proportion te tlie num
ber of inhabitants in each of tlie counties
named.
Whciuvsked whether limiting tlie amount
involved te ?ft00er mere would net keep
many cases from being taken te the supreme
court, lie replied Hint It would lm iinialr te
make 11 limit. Tlie peer man's fftOO is as prucl prucl prucl
ouste him ns tliarichui.iu'sf.',000,midlt very
fiequently happened tlint llve ivolutsef law

pute is small.
A Mijri;etluii for ItellrL.
Tlie only lcniedy te icllove tlie supreme
com the could suggest was tlie establish
incut of Intei'uicdlatuieurts ; each dlstilet te
be uiade up of a down or inore counties, ac
cording te population; let tliroe or llve
Judges or the number agreed upon be elected
us tlie Judges of such Interniedlate court, by
Iho lx'ople et each dlstilet. These ceuits
could be held In several cities of each district
nt stated times uml man v eases argued liefore
them would be adjudicated without reaching
the supreme court.

The sjs-aker alluded also te Gen. V, H.
Grant, who nller having rcceived alt his

subject conveyed was, that which men nre In
clined te term circumstances is but tlie over
ruling of Him without whose notlce net a
sparrow falls te the ground.
"feclnl I'rultagc."
The second orator was T. M. Illser, Hoons Heons Hoens
lioro, 5Id., subject ".Secial fruitage." Ilu
started by siylng that there is nothing lit

tliero is a vast gulf. There are many contra

one or the greatest evils pormeatlng soclety ;
that tlie spirit or greed had the tendency "te
cut short the old laws or education.
" Choice of a rrofrttlen.
Mr. K. W. Husheng, Blrd-ln-Hand. Pa.,
sjiekc en the "Choice of a Prorcsslen," setting
fettli various motives which Influcnce men in
this choice. The desire of tlie majority of
peeple at tlie picsent day Is wealth, while
ethers use nil their efforts te gain distinction.
Hut the true moth e should be te promote the
general geed. Though men ero naturally
qualified for dlflcrent professions, it is eften
a very ilitllcult matter te determine ene's

"Tlie Tower of Mens."
The spoaker, W. G. Unlink Mlddlotewn,
Mil., said :

It striv es te idealize. Sparta idealized the
physical law, Heme the Idea or empire,
