WASHINGTON. July 23.-'HOw many
new justices of the supreme court VIII Pres
ident Cleveland be called upon to appoint
during his term?" your correspondent asked
of an attache of that illustrious trlouhal
yesterday. ''There are several OF them ar
irving at the retiring age, are there not!
Eyes" he answered, There are four whose
age and service will permit them to retire
within the next year or so. Whether they
will do SO, however, is another question.
1t does not always follow that because a
justice arrives at an age which would per-
nit him to retire on full pay he will do so.
Indeed. few of the justices of the supreme
court have retired upon reaching the age
and service fixed by law. In almost every
case they have served from one to five years
longer than they were actually required to.
So those who are congratulating themselves
that the country will have four Democratic
judges on the supreme bench next year in
stead of one. as it now has. may find them
selves mistaken. Justice Bradley arrived
two or three years ago at the age and term
of service which would permit him to re-
tire, but

THE FIFTY-oNE JUSTICES

have served altogether about $40 years,
making their average trifle over ten years.
Some, of course, served much longer time.
Chief Justice Marshall and Justice Storey
were each thirty-four years upon the bench.
Justice Mclean thirty-three years, Bushrod
Washington thirty-two years, and Justice
johnson thirty years.
The four justices whose terms so soon ex-
pre-, and who are liable to retire at any
time thereafter, are looked upon as espe-
cially valuable men. Chief Justice Waite
ranks very high as a member of the court

about the average length of time the JUS

the supreme bench since the the establish
ment of the court, almost 100 years ago,
fifty-one justices. Perhaps it would be
more accurate to say that fifty-one men
have been appointed to this position, for
few of them have declined, while one or

LATE HOURS.


New York does not seem to be given to
late hours just now. The almost intolerable
heat drove everybody out of doors last
week, and people paraded Fifth avenue and
Broadway in squads until and o'clock in
the morning. Roof gardens, beer gardens
and public parks are crowded. But what
struck me more than anything else was
the very extraordinary number of wOmeni
who were sitting in their second story 'front.'
windows amid billowy clouds of white
dress goods The hum of sewing machines
was borne down upon the street from every
window, and half the feminine populations
of New York seemed plunged in tha
mystic art of dressmaking. I sup,
pose the heat had decided everybody
on going away, and that the women
found they had not made the requisite pros
vision for summer costumes. By the by, it
seems to me that women were never so.
beautifully and attractively dressed as they
are now. 1t is peculiarly so with evenings
dress. The difference between the deli-l
ciously cool and semi-transparent costumes
of the women and the heavy clothclothes Of
the men is very great.

Corporal Blum's Inheritance.

Charles Gustav Blum, a son of the
secretary of the Royal Agricultural
Department Of Sweden, was born in
Stockholm in 1857. At the age of sew
enteen he became a member of the
ROYAL Wermland regiment, of which
his uncle was colonel. Two years later
he graduated at the Military Academy,
Stockholm. Ancestors of his had been
members Of the Royal Wermland regi
mont for generations. lie finally re-
signed from the service. lie studied at
the Polytechnic in his native city, and
entered mercantile life. He form
ed an attachment for a wealthy
young lady named Grannat, who died
only a few days before the time set
for the wedding. lie then became
reckless and unsettled. lie went to
Hull. England, and after holding po-
sition there for a short time removed
to Liverpool. In 1881 he came to this
country, where he travelled until his
money was all gone, then obtained a
situation in Grants locomOtiye-wOrks,
in Paterson, as a draughtsman. After
ward he got employment with firm
in Massachusetts. ON receipt OF news
Of his mothers death he returned to
Sweden, where he remained for about
five months. He started back in 1883.
The first night at sea the vessel was
wrecked. but he and few others
reached the coast of Norway in a
small boat, and finally he arrived
IN this country. He tried te get en-
ployment, but failed. Having sold or
pawned all his valuables, he finally en-
listed in the United States army under
the name Of Grannat. He was trans
ierred to Fort Hamilton. There he so
won the esteem Of his superiors that in
a few weeks he was promoted to be cor
poral. He was about to be advanced to
a sergeantcy when news arrived of the
death Of his grandmother, baroness.
and of her having left him 100000
crowns, equal to sl04,520. Upon a
representation of the above facts Cor
poral Blam secured his discharge from
the army and started for Sweden last
week. Upon the settlement of his
affairs in his native country he intends
to return hither and enter business.

Sir Arthur Sullivan Said TO be In Love with
Boston Girl.

Sir Arthur Sullivan Said 10 be In Love with
Boston Girl.
A New York special says: 1t is now
no secret around the Union-Square The
atre, says the Sunday Journal, that
Sir Arthur Sullivan, the celebrated
composer of 1.-The Mikado" and num-
berless other comic operas, is thorough
lv in love. His acknowledged fame is
Miss Geraldine Ulmer, the pretty young
woman in the present production at
the Fifth-Avenue Theatre. Mr.. Sulli-
van spends all the time he conveniently
can with this charming singer, and
nightly, after the performance, takes
her to supper either at the Hoffman or
Delmonico's. 1t is believed around
the theatre that before Sullivan's de-
parture for Europe he will make for
NAL offer of marriage to the pretty little
lady who so rapidly jumped into popu-
larity by what is undoubtedly very
nice performance.
The attention which Miss Ulmer has
accepted from Sir Arthur Sullivan has
caused some surprise among those who
believe she was no longer fancy free,
but had already engaged herself in
marriage to another person. Through
out this matter, however, Miss Ulmer
has acted with thorough honor to her
self.
The fact Of the matter is that she
was engaged to marry a gentleman in
Boston named lyers, but during last
summer she went to Mr.. John Stetson,
who is the owner of the Globe Theatre
in Boston, and told him that she was
exceeding doubtful whether she cared
enough for her intended to marry him
at that time. Mr.. Stetson told her, very
naturally, that if she was doubtful
of her own feeling that it was best to
hesitate, and that if she preferred TO re-
main on the stage for some time longer
it was a very easy matter to defer her
marriage, and he could guarantee her
an engagement. He already foresaw
that she would prove a better Yum
Yum than anybody D'oyly Carte was
likely to bring over.
IL so turned out. and her success in
this sort of opera has been so great that
Miss Ulmer now takes high heaven to
witness that she will never marry at
all. What it is that caused her to
hesitate and break Off her engagement
to Mr.. Iyers is not known, but she
makes no secret Of the fact that that
episode in her career is finished for
ever.
In the mean time Sir Arthur Sulli-
vans persistent suit may cause the
young lady to change her mind. II Is
evident that she does not resent his
respectful advances, and that to be
Lady Sullivan might prove prize far
beyond her utmost expectations.
Miss Ulmer visited Richmond with
the Boston Ideal Company, and was
the recipient Of many social atten-
tions in musical circlss.l

Them Atter a Visit Among Them.
lPlttsburgh Dispstch.l
A gentleman who has been travelling
recently in the South c6nyersed with q
reporter last night upon the things he
had seen during his trip. " ! served
through the late war" he said, "snd |
was on the right side. | have always
been prejudiced, as most Of my COM
rades have been, against the southern
people. have called them all the
mean names could, and never regard
ed them as half equal TO the people OF
the North. But my recent visit
among them, occasionally through
business source. has convinced me
that | was very rash. | tell you, my
friend, that the southern people have
greater sense of honor among them
than we have. They are square, on
the average, in every way you take
them. | do not give them credit for
what they have not. Bat there is not
to be found among them that squeezing
business chicanery aud sharp money
dealing that pervades the North. In
business they do not consider the chief
end to be TO swindle a neighbor, but
contracts are made with honest fairness
and carried out with fsithfulness. The
Yankees are far ahead Of them in the
art OF getting ahead Of the next man.
"And moreover, the southern man
does not try TO browbeat employees
and force them 10 work for less money
than their labor is really worth. Among
the higher classes the rate Of wages IL
largely determined by the laborer alone,
and as long as his. demand is reasona-
bic it is complied with.
LAS God-fearing people, they are
not totally depraved. Ii is my i'm
preston that ! met as many religious
men and women, and no more loafers
and disreputable characters, in the
South than in the North. Socially, the
southern man is . splendid character.
The large plantations are almost always
thronged with temporary guests, while
there are few planters who do not keep
open house all the year round. They
are courteous to every one. Ny opinion
Of the southern man is as widely diff
ferent from what it was IS day is from
night. It would be . good thing If the
| North could get up and take an cxcur-
sion down to see its sister. There
would be a hearty change Of opinion.
