He is considerably past seventy, but still one
of the ablest men on the Bench, and a very
valuable one, too. Mr.. Chief Justice Waite,
Mr.. Justice Miller and Mr.. Justice Field will
arrive at the retiring age and term of service
during the coming year. Whether they will
retire or not has not been determined
''Does it follow that Democratic President
would appoint Democratic Justices?'
"Well,' he said with smile, sit has al
ways happened that way except in the case
of Mr.. Justice Field, appointed by President
Lincoln He was a war Democrat and is a
Democrat still, as is well known"
An examination of the record shows that
while Justice Bradley has already reached
the retiring age and term, he will soon have
company. Mr.. Chief Justice Waite reaches
the age of seventy in November of next year.
So does Mr.. Justice Field. Mr.. Justice Mil
Ter arrives at the age at which he may retire
on fall pay in the coming month of April.
There will be an effort to induce some, or
perhaps all, of these Justices to remain on
the Bench sduring the four years term.
This effort will come of course from
the Republicans, who hope that by this
means they secure Republican successors if
they are successful in their next Presidential
campaign. Whether these four justices,
however, can be induced to hold on three
years or more after the date at which they
may retire on full pay is very doubtful. 1t
is q strong temptation to a man who has
worked hard for seventy years of his life-for
every man who has earned his place on the
Supreme Bench has worked hard-it is a
temptation to him to stop and rest when he
sees that he may do so without loss of salary
or dignity. The United States Court Judges
are about the only men in civil life who are
penSioned. Their salaries, under certain
circumstances. run on like the brook, for
eve-, or at least until death. 1t is curious
fact, however, that few if any of the justices
of the Supreme Court have taken advantage
of this opportunity when offered. True,
there have been five retirements since the
law was passed but in almost every case the
justices have served one or two or three
years after the time at which they might
have stepped down and out with a

WASHINGTON LETTER,
Our Illustrated Weekly Letter From tue
National Capital
Something About the Justices of the SUI
preme COurt-Pictures of Judges
Bradley, Miller and Field.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-"How many JUS
tees OF the Supreme Court will President
Cleveland be called upon to appoint during
his term" your correspondent asked of an
attache of that illustrious tribunal yester-
day. There are several of them arrived 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 50, however, is another question. 1t
does not always follow that because Justice
arrives at an age which would permit 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 acquired to, so those who are
congratulating themselves that the country
will have four Democratic Judges of the SUI
preme Bench next year instead of one, as it
now is may find themselves mistaken. Jus
tice Bradley arrived two or three years ago at
the age and term of service which would
permit him to retire, but he is still
on the bench. TO the great satisfaction of his
colleagues, who do not desire to see him retire.

Succumbed to Two.

BOsTON. July 25.-This evening a second murder
occurred TO lengthen the criminal annals of BOs-
ton. In a crowded alley in the South Cove dis
trict live two families-the PaytOns and the

on the 4th OF July. The i'll feeling has been grow
ing ever since. PaytOn, whose first name is Will

family consisted OF John Hayes, teamster. his
wife and three children. During this afternoon
the children's squabbles led 10 an alteration be-
tween the two mothers, and when the men came
home from their work they took up
the quarrel. HAYES seems to have been
the aggressOr. He tainted PaytOn until
the latter took ont his pOcket-knife and free
fight ensued in which the little weapon used.
The women, in the meantime, came out OF their
houses. Mrs PaytOn seized heavy crOwbar with
which she belabOred Hayes about the head. while
her husband was vigorously plying his knife to
his heart and abdomen. The other residents of
the alley looked on while the scene in progress
without interfering. In few minutes Hayes sue
cumbed to the assaults, and dropped to the
ground, dying almost at once. The police were
soon notified and arrested both PaytOn and his
wife and locked them up. Hayes injuries con
