Judge Miller on Madeira
Speaking of wines and dinners, l
Am reminded OF what l shall have to
call the 'Old Madeira dodge" There
Is no reason Philadelphia should
know anything about 1t, for there IL
no pretense In Philadelphia. The
Veneerlngs do not live thsre. You
must know, Mr.. Editor, that the
judges Of the supreme court are the
highest Of the high In social life.
There are only nine of them. They
are In for life, and.get 100000 year
Apiece. They, Of course, are invited
everywhere generally In . body
practice which they hate Ike . fam.
inc. You an easily see the reason.
Each has his stock of Jokes and
stories, his illustrations, his history,
his reoollsctions and his big cases,
Each one has told these over and ovsr
again, and they individually have heard
the same thing from.their brothers Of
the bannh for 30 many years that the
thing affects them like their thirtieth
quail. But this 10 . Madeira story:
I remember hearing Mr.. Justice Nil.
Ter recount his experience with tho old
Madeira fiend. He said that one Of
the frat thi ags he noticed In social life
in Washington was the existence Of 9
large amount Of fine, rioh, old Msdei-
ra in this city. He would 90 with
his associates to the house Of . lead
Ing lawyer. Before the dinnsr was
over, the host would say tina he had
some Madeira he would like to have
his guests tase-nothing like 1t In
the oountry-only q few bottles left,
the present . great occasion and one
bottle quite enough to 60 round. Next
he would dine with Q cabinet officer
same old story-Gentlemen, let me beg
you to try this old Madeira-nothing
like 1t In the world-An old invoice of
my OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to get q

sion, but I have something that will
make you feel glad you came. 1t 10 .
glass Of old Madeira 400 900 years

Some years ago I obtained for young

felt very grateful and wanted to know
what he could do for me.
told him, Just as he was going to sail,
to get me some coed Madeira. Gen.
tlemsn, he was ten years getting me
this wine. He had to pay $500 . bot.
tie for 1t, and sven at this price wal
only able to get q few bottles. You'll
find 1t worth drinking, gentlemen
This sort Of thing lasted for q year oil
two. Every house into which thu
judge went had some celebrated old
Madeira. I don't know how 1t was
with the other judges, but Miller, who
never pretends to know anything, and
IL noted for his level-headed common
sense, and IL as great Q hater Of shami
as I ever saw, became very tired of tn,
old Madeira b~uainess, and only waited
for an opportunity to proclaim hi
ideas. It came In time.

g. II. Browning, Of Illinois, was SEQ
rotary Of the interior. Browning Wal
. fussy old fellow, with rufl.d shirt
and digniied manner. he lived verI
nicely and very quietly on Georaetowl
Heights. He asked the judges Il
dinner. They came Good dinner
At the proper time old Browning de
manded the attention of his guests

on the things he set before his guests
He thought It vulgar, but he hat
something 80 rare he thought HI

that Madeira vas coming. In fact
no wanted to call tho attention Of hi
friends to some rare old Madeira h,
had-smooth ~ oil, and fit for tn
gods. He had obtained 1t from som

the Madeira business any longer, so h
said: Snow, browning, look here
We have had too much of this d
MADEIRA business. We have not beel
In q house In Washington for the lai
three years that the finest glass q
finest old Madeira In the world ha
not been set before us, and the thin
