Presided over one term Of court, holding office
about dvtimonths, but not confirmed by the senate
4Decined after acting few days.
Ruuedge, four years before his appoint
ment as Chief Justice, WAS an Associate
Justice of the Court. The Senate's re
fusal 80 confirm him was partly due 10
political causes and partly to fear that
his mind was failing. Soon after his re-
lection he became insane, and remained
ia this condition until death, Cushing
was an Associate Justice at the time of
his appointment to the Chief Justiceship.
Although he was confirmed, and seems
10 have virtually acted as Chief Justice
for few days, yet ne declined the post,
and continued in the minor position until
his death in 1910. Rutledge and Gushing
are the only two men ever holding the po-
sition of Associate Justice who acted rs
Chiet Justice, and Cushing Is the only one
who held the lower post at the time Of APP
pointment to the upper one.
TuE grand jury for the county Of New
York have made a lively preseutmeut
about the election frauds in John OBrien's

triots in the election of November. The
evidence brought before them, they do
clare, showed in many districts "the en-
tire control of the polls and the election
machinery is in the hands of professional
criminals" who scared the respectable
voters and bought up the rascals. Money
was openly paid for votes in the presence
OF officers of the law without interference.
The grand jury say thsy could have pre-

against whom there was direct evidence,

II isnoted as a singular fact that the
Irish question has slipped entirely into
the background of English politics Just
how and why, nobody seems IS be able to
explain. There is no reason to believe,
however, that the cause of home rule has
been abandoned; and in all probability,
Mr.. Gladstone and his associates will sur
prise their adversaries one of these days
with an attack that will fully account for
this temporary inactivity.

Why These Gray Heads 2

Why the hair of so many young
men in this city is gray nobody can
find out. So common is gray hair on
youthful heads that any other kind
attracts attention. Nor is it unbe-
coming. Indeed young face looks
really younger than it is when framed
by head of prematurely gray hair.
The time is gone by and is almost
forgotten when gray hair was consid-
cred a mark of age. Dyed hair is
truly the banner of decay, a vile prac
tice which deceives no one and de-
stroys the remaining scraps of sense
and good looks of the dyer. Men
are more given to this particular sin
against honesty and cleanliness than
the women. Very old and ugly men
are its staunchest upholders. One
sees them on the cars, at the theatres,
everywhere, CHASTITY wrecks with COM
plexions like a frog pond in drought,
their miserable artiice against time
deceiving nobody but themselves.
Gray hairs are honorable and fire.
quently beautiful, but dyed hair is an
inspiration of the evil one in his NEST
malicious moments.-New York Pres
