Comparison of the Chief Justices as They
Sat Side by Side.

Comparison of the Chief Justices as They
Sat Side by Side.
Washington Special
There sat side by side the Supreme Justices OF
the two greatest nations in the world at least Of
the English-speaking world. Each seemed to me
a representative man of the country to which
he belongs. 1 have seen it stated that Coleridge
does not look like an Engishman. This is
mistake. He is English TO the backbone. and he
could be told as one anywhere He looks En-
gsh, acts English, ana is English, and Waite is
lust as much American COleridge is English.
Waite looks like n hardy, practical, common
sense American; COerldge a scholarly, refined,
aristocratic Englishman. The two men are
diametrically opposite. They have not IA feature
in common. Colerdge is pronounced blonde
Waite "a decided brunette, Coleridge has o
long, thin. intellectual face; Waite has a
board, practical one Waite's hair is heavy and
of a dark iron gray; Coleridge has only fringe,
and this is of a fine silyery color. Waite's dark
face is covered with heavy beard; Coleridge
has no beard at all and his rosy face mas a high
forehead, untouched by a single hair. HI is as
Ike a baby's cheek. Coleridge is, / shOuld
judge. much older than Waite, and think he
must be overtired with SO much feting, for he
took cat nap or two while he was sitting on the
bench. Lord Coleridge is tall man, and his
shoulders arc round and thin Waite has broad
shoulders and is of medium height, and in
cned TO stoutness; and so IL is throug ughout their
whole constitution. The two greatest lawyers
in the world are modelled on "a different plan,
and nature took no TWO pieces of clay from the
same pilo in their construction.

BUSINESS MATTERS.

The Secretary of the Republic Iron Company
Confesses Judgment for Upward of SILL
900.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 23.-To-day's sensation in
business circles is the failure of John N. Glidden,
secretary of the Republic Iron Company. Late
yesterday the company filed a claim against
him for upward Of $111,O00, on which he con-
fessed Judgment As security, the company
holds his stock at market value, which is about
a quarter of a million dollars, but it is under
stood considerable of this is pledged for debts,
and the question of priority OF claim is likely to
arise. Mr. Glidden stated this morning to the
Associated Press reporter that hls failure is
solely attributed to the shrinkage of values in
legitimate iron business His indebtedness to
the company is for ore purchased on his own
account and sold to other parties, and for trans
portaton. He says that i'll year and half he
has lost over $500, 900 from this cause. He will
call meeting of creditors and ask an extension
of time. Gliddens embarrassment VIII not af-
feet the Republic Iron Company, whose capital
stock is So, 100000, and which owns perhaps the
most valuable mining property IN America; nor
will it affect the firm of GIidden & Manning,
which does strictly commission business, and
has debt.

Ordeals in Past Years.
SALT LAKE, Oct 23.-Dr. ]. M. Williams, an
old army surgeon, who came to Salt Lake with
General Connor's command. died in this city to-
day of apoplexy. He passed through some try
ing ordeals in endeavorng to exercise the rights
of an American citizen in Utah, by daring to
claim land in the neighborhood OF this city, AS a
pre-emptor under the United States law.
He was tied in sack and WAS
about to be thrown into the Jordan river when
he told them he would like to have a chew of
tobacco before being drowned like a cat, His
cool manner dashed them for a moment, and
they pnrleyed with him. He told them he
would fight them single-handed with any
weapons they might choose. But they declined,
telling him he was too good man to be thrown
into the river in a sack, and let him go, on CON
dition that he would leave Utah.

The freshness of the scene and the character
of the motive, combined with the perfect health
mess of tone, were assuredly strong recommen-
dations of the play at time when the tmidity
of dramatic enterprise condemns us to move in
the rule of conventionality, to make only
brief excursions into the region of human senti-
ment and passion. The pleasant lanes and paths
lying outside of the beaten track of English
drama are too exclusively the domain of the
novelist and poet, and when the playwright
takes lbs to explore them, to breathe the air and
enjoy the beauties of natural landscape, instead
OF conducting us over familiar but not too
picturesque route, suffoeating in a hot
house OF sentiments, he earns our warmest
