Even old residents f Washington never tiro of visiting tho beautiful courtroom with its clas sical proportions, and tho memories of i Clay, Calhoun nnd Webster. Tho su premo court us a spectnelo is by far the i most fascinating thing wo hnvo in Wash- ington. Just why I do not know, but tho fact remains that men who will not tako tho trouble to go to see tho opening session of tho senate or houso of repre sentatives leave their work and rush away to tho Capitol to see tho niuo jus tices enter with their robes and their dignity upon them. It is, truly, n scene worth traveling some distance to behold. A fow seconds before tho hands of the old clock pointed to noon n shuffling of feet was heard in tho adjoining passage. An ofllcial raptied threo times on his desk, and at this signal tho lawyers at tho bar and nil tho spectators roso to their feet. Then tho justices, attended by tho marshal of tho court, filed iu one after another, nnd each stood behind his big chair. Then a rather nervous man, who bus long earned n respectablo live lihood by uttering ono sentence a day, cried out: "Oyez, oyez, oyez, oyez, oyez, oyezl All persons having business before tho honorable, tho supremo court of tho United States, are admonished to draw near and givo attention, as tho court is ' about to assemble. God save tho United States and this honorable court!" J This tho crier delivered in n mono tone, as if he wero very much bored by ' having to say it nt nil, but lowered his ' voico reverentially for tho concluding words. Then tho justices bowed to At torney General Miller and tho other lawyers at tho bar, and Attorney Gen eral Miller and all tho lawyers bowed , simultaneously and quite as profoundly spect to tho executive head of tho nation mission, Mr. Illalno naturally felt In on Monday tho justices walked Into tho cllned to extend scant courtesy to Its president's library In their ranking or- representative.

After this exchange of courtesies between bench and bar the justices sat down and a fw lawyers wero admitted to practice before tho court, taking tho oath and kissing more or less fervently the little old Bible, whoso covers have felt tho impress of thousands of eloquent lips, running back to tho days of Taney and Marshall.

Mrs. Justice1 Brown must make tho first calls on the wives of all tho other justices. She is last 011 the visiting lists of all her fi lends. Ik-cause the court sat only ten min utes on the opening day, let no one imagine that the justices have an easy time of it. They do not. Few success fill lawyers work harder than tho jus tices of the supremo court. It is one of tho rules of this court that every cum must be decided by all the justices, and it is the only impoitaut court iu the world that does not assign cases to indi vidual nieiubeis. This makes it neces sary for each of tho justices to read up and woil: out all of tho cases pending, and about -100 cases are tiled every yeai . more than half oi which aie decided.

They even attempt 11 little ':i tho way of jokes themselves, in a quii t. dry way, and they smile heartily and unanimously, especially at their own jokes. It is real jolly to see a smile stai t with the chief justice awl spread out in both diiections like a pair of wings, HI it has embraced Justices Drown and Brewer. Justices and lawyers mux smile, but they must not laugh aloud though a number of them came veM tho house of Mr. Julius Ciosar Burroughs, in Kalamazoo, tomorrow morning, awl 1 will seo what I can do for you." Wo were on an east bound Michigan Central train when I asked for the inter view. I stopped at Kalamazoo, where there wero several bauds of music and a flue torchlight procession in honor of tho arrival of Mr. Blaine, who was to ad dress a meeting on the squaro tho fol lowing da Next moinlng I called at the residence of Mr. Burroughs and found hts dis tinguished guest surrounded by a group of admiring farmers. Mr. Illalno did not wait to be reminded of his appoint ment, but came forward as soon as I en- 1 teied the room, and said: I "Excuse mo a fow moments, sir, nnd j 1 will be at your service." Iu a short time ho excused himself to the visitors and wo went into Mr. Bur roughs' library. j "Do you write shorthand!" ho asked ns soon as we wero seated. "Yes." I replied. "But do yon wiite it well?" "I have taken your own speeches, Mr. Blaine." "Well, that is promising," ho said, with one of his magnetic smiles, "but I'll test you In person now. Wo have very good stenographers iu Washington. Get out your notebook and we'll begin." I made sure from this introduction that Mr. Blaine was going to rattle oil a thre cojiimu interview at his platloim speed, and I sharpened several pencils to bo in readiness for the task. "Now," he explained, "I am not going to givo you a direct interview with my self, but will iclnto a conversation oil tho cars between several statesmen, iu which I paiticipated, which you will Hud as intetestin as anything that 1 might sav at this time on nublic nuestions." This was not a rash prediction. 'J ho matter Mr. Illalno dictated was oppor tune awl touched leading topics in Ills I own masterly stylo. The ai tide made exactly 11 column iu I length, and at Mr. Blame's average 1 ate I of speaking should have taken about (If- I teen minutes to dictate. There was no test of my shorthand speed, however, as it took him exactly two hours to dictate I it. which was consideiably longer than it would have taken to wi ite it out iu long hand. Mr. Blaine hesitated at almost every sentence, and would pause fie queutly to ask questions about matters ' foreign to the subject in hand I was kept changing wot ds andiemodeliugseii tences. and when the task was ended Mr. Blaine remarked, with a merry twinkle in his eyes. "Now you can understand why I wanted an expert stenographer." 1 I attended the mass meeting iu the ( afternoon awl heard Mr. Blaine deliver a brilliautspecch at the rate of 170 woids . a minute, which could have been printed I from veibatiiu notes without tho clmnt.'e , of a word.

So on Monday the big justices and the little justices, with their marshal, cleik and reporter, wero bundled into car riages and driven to the White House. On the box of each carriage sat tho body servant of the occupant, and as the pro cession movoJ down Pennsylvania ave nue it was noticed tho equipages were driven in the order of seniority of tho passengers. Tlio right of precedence or seniority is rigidly respected iu all tho coinings awl goings of tho supreme court. The only man who escapes its restric tions is tho chief justice, and of conie ho comes firot iu everything. On the bench Justice Field, being the senior, sits at the chief justice's right. Justice Field was appointed by Lincoln. Next in length of service is JuMice Brad ley, who was appointed by (ienera1 Grant, and of course he sits at the chut justice's left. Justice Harlan, appointed by Hayes, is third, awl his post is at Field's right. Justices Gray and Blatch ford, both appointed by President Arthur, urn f Mirth and fifth, and their seats are respectively at Bradley's left awl Harlan 0 right. Justice Lamar, whose commission was signed by Prei dent Cleveland, siu at tho left of Gin) . while Justices Brewer awl Blown, who were appointed by President Harrison, occupy the end seats. This order of seniority is observed I three or four patented doll babies. Ci.A5! .0 wxv Mrrhv pi 1 ' r : j' $? skhtchco iiv i:mim:.nt counsel.
