not he smirched by political envy or malice
itself In answering the charge that Mr..
Fuller was not well known. he said that the
new Chief Justice was exceedingly well
known in Chicago. and Cook County con-
tanned more than twice the population OF
Vermont. This subtle reference to Senator
Edmund's opposition was received with re-
peated cheers and clapping of hands. The
speaker thought Mr.. Fuller would be an
honor to the bench Of the United States SUI
preme Court, and the banquet was COM
plete vindication.
At the conclusion OF the Judges remarks
he proposed the health Of Melville Weston
Fuller. Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court
of the United States. The guests arose TO
their feet and some one proposed three
cheers for Mr.. Fuller. The cheers were
given with a combination roar Of jury argu-
ment.
Mr.. Fuller's voice was soft and tremulous
when he arose His eyes were in sympathy
with his voice. Mr.. Fuller ran briefly over
his experience with the early Chicago bar.
When he mentioned the names of Lincoln
and Drummond the lawyers arose and
cheered until their throats were scorched.
Many other names. as those Of Judge Cation
and Leonard SWEET. were also loudly ap-
plauded. He expressed his keen apprecia-
ton OF the honor conferred on him. which
he took as a recognition OF Chicago and the
great West rather than personal compli-
ment. When he took his seat the audience
again arose and gave him round of cheers.
Judge Gresham spoke to the toast, The
Bench" sketching the powers of the Su-
preme Court and concluding with an eX-
preston of confidence in the Presidents Sc
lection of a Chief Magistrate of the highest
court in the land. The Judges speech was
very brief, for Judge Moran was on the pro-
gramme to help him wrestle with the same
subject.
Judge Moran's address dealt chiefly with
the lower courts and their duties. He
thought the people of Illinois had peculir
cause 10 be proud Of their judiciary. In all
the seventy years Of its judicial system no
Judge had been impeached nor within fifty
years had there been "a judicial scandal. In
this time great corporate relations had been
adjusted, and though many Judges had been
elected in political contests the integrity Of
the judiciary had never been questioned.
He compared the English courts with the
American tribunals. Many newspaper edit
ors liked the speedy trial Of criminal cases
in the English courts. but the speaker ques-
toned the efficiency Of such trials. He got
a twist at the British lions tail by declaring
that while we were catching thief the En-
glish courts could convict an Irishman of
loving his country and send him TO prison.
w. c. Goudy and James l.. High respond
ed TO The Bar" Ex-senator Lyman Trum-
bull spoke for The Law Makers" and
Charles l.. Hutchinson OF Commerce."
Letters of regret were read from a num-
Der OF prominent persons. Before the
speeches were half through the old lawyers
began TO leave. and Mr.. Fuller saw his rela-
lions with the bar dissolve in great cloud

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER.
A MAGNIFICENT BANQUET GIVEN IN
HIS HONOR.

1t was a historic banquet given at the
Palmer House in this city in honor of Mel
vile w. Fuller on his assumption Of the
office Of Chief Justice OF the United States.
The organizers of the banquet were his
fellow members OF the bar and bench. and
they were joined in their manifestation by
the foremost citizens OF Chicago. Repub-
licans and Democrats all united in their
tribute TO a man whom the city delighted

House dining-room were thrown open be-
fore Judge Drummond and Mr.. Fuller about
$50 p. m. the breath OF Eden touched their
nostrils. The Rev. DR.. Fleetwood. on the
Judges left. probably thought of Paradise
with its unfading flowers. It's golden light
and silvery sheen. Mr.. Fuller Will be for
given if he thought it the garden of the gods
and the strains Of music were from Olym-
pus. He might have hesitatcd TO take
Jupiter's seat or even n place in the row OF
American gods who sat behind the long
table at the head OF the dining-room. But
Mr.. Fuller is the greatest god in American
politics. He is greater than any politician
and beyond their reach. He is higher than
the rulers and their laws, for he establishes
them or sets them aside. He is the Chief
Justice Of the highest tribunal this side Of
heaven. and the banquet was in his honor.

WEATHER AND CROP REPORTS.
A Favorable Week for Cotton-Picking-
Rains in New England.


The following is the weather-crop bulletin
for the week ended Saturday. Sept 20:
The temperature during the week was decid-
eddy cooler than usual throughout the Southern
Middle and New England States, the average
daily temperature ranging from 10 10 degrees
below the normal in all districts but il was
generally favorable for all growing crops in all
sections except New England where heavy
rains were reported as unfavorable. Through
out the cotton belt reports indicate that the
weather during the week improved the condition
of the cotton crop. In Louisiana the condi-
tions were favorable for cane and the harvest
ing of rice; and generally throughout the
Gulf States the weather was favorable for cot
ton picking and the seeding of wheat. Light
frost occurred in the northern portion of the
Gulf States, over the tobacco regions of Ten
nessee and Kentucky, North Carolina and Vir
ginia, and in the Middle Atlantic and New En-
gland States which viii probably result in some
damage to the growing crops, but warnings OF
these frosts ere issued TO the threatened sec
lions in time 10 enable those receiving them TO
secure the greater portion OF the tobacco crop

Gently been committed in Whitechapel.
The two victims. as in the former
cases. were dissolute women of the
poorest class. That the motive Of the muir
derer was not robbery is shown by the
fact that no attempt was made TO despoil the
bodies. The first victim had her throat
severed from ear to ear, the flend evidently
being scared away before time for mu-
tilating the body. The second-the body Of
an unfortunate woman-had been disem-
boweled. the throat cut. and the nose sew

aside. and the entrails were twisted into
