DEATu OF JUDGE Story. The hopes
which were strongly entertained atin,er-
walls during The illness Of Judge Story,
that the symptoms of his disease had
taken favorable turn, and that he would
recover, proved fallacious, and he ded
little before Q o'clock on "Wednesday
evening. Although ho had decided 10
bring his long, useful, aud brilliant ju-
dicial career TO close, after a service
Of "a years, as one Of the Justices Of the
Supreme Judicial Court, it was hoped
that his still vigorous mind might, for
many years to come, be devoted to The
service Of his friends and the public, par.
'!cularly in completing the learned works
on which he was engaged, and in con-
iinuine his invaluable instructions, in the
Law School Of the University. These
hopes arc disappointed. Fortunately,
however, the fiuit of his labors, is, much
Of it, impcrishabIe. 1t remains in the
records of our jurisprudence, the decis
ions OF the courts, aud his elementary
works. Ills learning does not perish
with him, for it is preserved in its appi.
cation, by the power Of his discriminating
mind, TO the innumcrahle cases which
have occurred, during his long and Ia
bo,ious Judicial life. Ills memory will
long remain as The model Of learned >
upright, and. independent Judge, and
happy will it be for ihccounlry, if it Of
ten fluids his equal among his sue ce ssors
Judge Story was Go years ofage. He
was graduated at Harvard University 10
1898 he entered early INTO the practice
Of The law, in Essex County. In 1903,
he was elected member Of Cong ess, from
Essex District lie declined re-elcc-
ton, and subsequently, was for shot
period member Of tho Massac huset,s
Legislature; he was appointed in 1911,
by President Madison, TO the high !ju.
dicial station in which he has so much
himself in 1920 he wa,
an active, influential and most useful
member Of the Convention for revising
the Constitution Of Massachusetts, and
tor n number of years past he has been
at the head Of the Law School in the
University. We cannot on this occa-
sion attempt to write his eulogy or the
history Of his life. His character and
history will no, be forgotten. 1t will be
remembered and cherished by the good
and learned, not only among those who
knew him personally, but Throughout, a.
far wider circle.
Here follows The melancholy an
nounce me mt o his death, AT the opening of
the District Court ofihe u. S. 10 Boston,
on Thursday, and the proceedings Of
a meeting Of the members Of The Law
School at Cambridge, Of which lns'iin-

lessor.
