The Baron has been stationed at Washing ton for the past fovrteen years, as ChniHpltnr nf the Aiintm-Hnnparlnn embaasy. lie has teen transferred to Stuttgart, where he has been given an Important post. Dr. Hill, wtb Is returning to Berlin after a vacation in this country, de clares that he enjoys life in the Ger man mutropi lis, which iie considers one of the moat beautiful capitals of Europe. He was arkcd what he thought of the movement of congress to purr We Knies In Kurcie for the American ambassadores. . "I don't know that It would be o: propriiite for me to discuss the mat ter," he replied. "At the same time ev ery body who knows the conditloui abroad recognizes the necessity of the American government having its own houses as a matter of respect to the governments, when other govern ments own their own houses in foreign countries and in ours as well. When I was assistant secretary of state. I did what I could to promote the Idea and I have not since changed my mind. In my opinion every AmorUau dlpla mat ought to at least hiyo the com mand of his own front door. II ciinnot be sure of that If he has to take chan ces in several of the capital ) of Europo as things are at the present lira. This having command of one's own tront door Is desirable for the rwurity of the archives of the embassy, to ,iy nothing about matters o keeping up the dignity c.t the country. ' committee suggests that the code of civil procedure be amended so that up on a trial either party should be per mitted to call his opponent and cross examine him ' and that where there is a trial before the Jury the evidence la so prepondering in favor of one Mm or the other that a verdict con trary to it can be set aside as being against the evidence. It should be the duty of a trial justice to direct the verdict Merc poer for the appellate division is recommended. It shoulu award final judgment on appeals frcr.i the special term and form surrogates Instead of merely granting new trials On all appeals in clvl' cases the ap pellate division should at least have the saem power to disregard technical errors that It and the" general term have had in appeals in criminal cases since the adoption of .the' criminal codo of procedure. The granting of the sta tory trial as a matter of Judicial dts utory new trial in ejectments, as a matter of right and a second statu -tlnctlon should be abolished. From every quarter of the valley Is coming reports of Christmas trees and Holiday entertainments. Old Grande Roude was never more prosperous and the people generally are prepared to enter into the spirit of Yultlde with zest. There is no occasion for any enn In Union county to suffer this winter. If any have been unfortunate and arc not comfortable, If their wants are known the public will gladly respond. There I no necessity of man, woman or child suffering for want of foou oi raiment this winter. Those who have plenty will be only ton wind to assist those deserving. ' .,. - ' We are readily becoming used to the waters' of Beaver Creek. We will appre elate It more next summer possibly than we do now. At this season of the year we always had good water but nothing to compare, however with our present Bupply. Soon after the first of the year the board of managers of the Union coun ty fair will have a meeting for the purpose of setting In motion certain things relative to the fair next year. Several months next year will be giv en up to the making of the 1910 fair the greatest event ever held in Union county. Other sections of the valley will lend a helping band.

Among other recommendations, the The Cnrlstmas trade picked up yes terday and during the afternoon the stores were crowded. Cltytrade would find it much more convenient It they arranged to do their trading early In the day. From 11 o'clock until about 4 o'clock the put of town thronged the streets and the stores. These people at this senaon of the year are always In a hurry to get home In time to take cave of things. If our town people only could keep this in mind and arrange their shopping accordingly, they would save time and the overworked clerks could do Justice to both the customer and the proprietor. Early shopping should be the rule this year. - All business houses In the city will close Christmas, as announced in the morning bulletin issued from the office of the secretary of the Business Men's Protective Association.
