David Davis was born in Cecil County
Maryland, on March 9, 1916. lie WAS
educated Mt: Kenyon Collyc, Ohio from
which he was graduated in 1892. lie
studied law at the New Haven Law
Schools and ut Lenox, Massachusetts,
and was admitted to the Bar about the
year 1885. He began the practice Of his
profession in I~llionis in 1885 at Blooming
ton. He early turned his attention to
politics and was n successful candidate
for State Representative in 1914 Three
years later he was chosen Il delegate to
the Constitutional Convention which as
scmbled in 1S47. In the following year
he was elected II Judge Of one OF the
Circuit Courts Of Illinois, which posi-
,ion he held by successive elections until
1852, when he resigned. lie was n
delegate to the National Republican
Convention Mt Chicago, in 1860, and in
and in 1862 was appointed by President
Lincoln as one Of the Judges of the
Supreme Court.
Mr. Davis actractcd the attention Of
both political parties in the eventful
year of the election Of Hayes, in 1876.
when he resigned his seat on the Bench
t" qualify as United States Senator from
l~llioniS. to which position he had been
elected over John A. Logan by the
combined votes Of the independents and
Democrats in the State Legislature.
Upon the organization Of that BODY he
was elected President of the Senate, and
generally voted with the Democrats on
strict pnrty issues. In the arrangement
for the electoral commission the Demo-
Gratis had coupted on the vote of Judge
Davis then in the Supreme Court, to
secure n majority decision in their favor.
Judge Davis however, accepted the
Senatorship and declined to be q member
Of the commission. This secured the
nomination of Judge Bradley on the
commission, and resulted in n decision
IN favor Of Hayes instead Of Tildcn.
Judge Davis's Senatorial career ,s not
remarkable or cvcntiful. He VAS sncc.
ceedcd AZ Senator from Illinois bv Gen.
Logan III 1855. and since that time had
been living outside of the political
world. Soon after his retirement from
activel political life he was married at
the age Of 70, the event having been
the subject of much good-natured social
comment and gossip.
Judge Davis'S name was twice used
in relation to Il candidacy for the Presi.
dcncy Once in 1872, when he was
nominated as the candidate of the Nm.
tional Convention of the Labor Reform
party a%nd'ngain in the same year when
he was nominated by tho Liberal Re-
publican Convention in Cincinnati.
When Grant however had been nom
mated in that year Judge Davis formal
~ declined to II as the candidate of
either Of the conventions which had
nominated him.
Judge Dav 8 had VISA 70 ounced views
on any Of the great issues Of the country
except as to the finance question and
oven on this subject he was merely
understood to be in favor of the re-
m%onetization Of silver and the nost-
ponemcnt Of the resumption Of spec;e
payments.

A WOman's jealousy.

A woman's Jealous act and it's re-
suit is thus related by adispatchfrom
New Haven:
Mary Mansfield was born in Worces-
ter and at an early age became an
orphan by the death of her father,
who was the disinherited son of a
wealthy planter OF Lexington. She
was taken to Lexington and eventual
ly became the heiress to a large for
tune. She removed to the east on the
death Of her relatives, first going to
Worcester and later to Hartford. In
Hartford she met and became en-.
gagged to q man of high social stand.
ing. Shortly before the time set for
the wedding the young oma read q
notice of her lovers marriage. In q
fit of Jealous rage she married her
coachman, William Whittlesey. Then
| began a period of mora and stittme
at the step she had taken. Six
months OF this kind of life passed and
the unhappy wife told her husband
she would furnish him money with
which to purchase a livery stable.
A few weeks ago Whittlesey came here
and purchased the stable OF Williams
& Collett. A few days later the wife
came to this city and summoned her
husband and informed him that she
did not love him and that she had
married him in a fit OF jealousy, urging
him to retain an attorney and insti-
tute proceedings to obtain a divorce.
She assured him that she would pay
all expenses and present him with q
handsome sum besides. Whittlesey,
the former servant, refused to do as
his wife requested, ard laughed at
what he termed her foolishness. Mrs.
Whittlesey then visited an attorney
and stated the case to him. He told
her that she had no legal right tn do
as she wished. She then determined
to leave Whittlesey, which she did on
Christmas eve, starting for Kentucky.
Whittlesey remained in this city afew
days, but has now disappeared. The
stable has been sold out.

conquered Napoleon. but he couldn't

instead of descending in an erect and
arrowlike position, such as he had al.
ways before maintained, he fell spraw.
lingly with his arms above his head.
When he struck the water thrill of
horror went tthr~ugh the vast concourse
of spectators, and when, after some
moments, the body did not reappear,
the crowd incontinently fled as if some
terrible disaster vas coming upon
them. For weeks afterwards the peo.
pie of Rochester felt they had been &C.
csssories to murder. and earnestly
reproacked themselves for permitting
the foolhardy undertaking. The
preachers denounced all the spectators
as if the brand of Cain was upon them
and charged that they We're murderers

not recovered until the following
spring.
