4WlLL Mr.. FULLER AccEPT2



WASHINGTON, May 6.--There is rumor
President that Il Is possible Mr.. Melville
w. Fuller will not accept the position of
Chief Justice of the United States. 1t will
be remembered that when the President
offered Mr.. Fuller four other appointments
he declined any office for reasons obvious
to those who knew that he was dependent
upon his practice for the support of his
family. In this instance the President felt
certain that Mr.. Fuller would accept, and
did not deem 1t necessary to ask if he
would.
After his name was sent to the Senate on
Monday last and the nomination was known
throughout the country, it was naturally
expected at the White House that some re-
cognition would come from Mr.. Fuller of
the great honor conferred upon him. The
day passed without the slightest acknowl-
edgement of that honor.
The President, suppOsing Mr. Fuller was
observing to the extreme all the prOprieties
it was possible to invent, met him half way,
and at once addressed Mr.. Fuller letter
informing him Of the compliment that day
bestowed by naming him for the most cx-
alted judicial office in his gift. A reply
came promptly recognizing in the most
befitting manner the Presidents act, but it
WAS wholly silent about whether he would
accept or not.
Reasons for this were at once asked of
those who knew Mr.. Fuller. The only
one that appeared reasonable was that a
gentleman with seven daughters, accus
totneo 70 an the rennements and convent.
ences OF cultured society, would still need
the large income of their fathers profession
to maintain their social status wherever
they might live.
The salary Of Chief Justice is only
$40, 500 per annum. To accept the office
would make him dependent upon that
salary and such income as he might derive
from his Chicago property. Whether the
total would then be enough to maintain in
w Washington the same social standing that
MIR. Fuller's family has enjoyed for many
years in Chicago is question that the
Presidents advisers were enabled from
years of experience in Washington to
answer in the negative.
1t was not alone q question of judicial
honor, but of honor with an assured
enjoyment Of all that is necessary to main
tain 1t through the remaining years of his
life without, in the end having the story
OF Chief Justice Waitc's fifteen years on
the bench repeated at his death[that he
died poorer than when he came to Wash
ington.
A stated income of $50, 600 year would
not. 1t Is said, more than enable Mr. Fuller
TO maintain his home in Washington as he
would want to live.

and make whatever sacrifices may be ncces-
sary to bring. 81 'cxf IGse! - Wthip. S S' DGT.l

AN ACRE OF TEETH.
A Strange Sight Witnessed by Bos-
ton Herald Reporter.
Boston Herald


"Come with me, said Adam Forepaugh,
Jr., the young manager of the Forepaugh
Wild West aggregation, to a Herald scribe
ut the Old Coliseum Grounds yesterday af-
ternoon; "did you ever see an acre of teeth?
No? Then ] will show yon one-yes, two
acres, almost a five acre lott
Then Mr. Forepaugh led the way up the
track which surrounds the two rings and
platform in the circus tent. The perform.
ance was going on. and the two clowns, one
made up as donkey, were going through
their really comic maneuvers and limitations
of the Blondin horse. Interesting as this
bit Of pantomime was, it could not compare
for picturesqueness with the scene presented
on the other side of the ring. There,
stretched out upon the hillside of seats was
the oft-heard-of ''sea of faces" Always
rather startling to one who beholds it for
the first time, this ocean of countenances
sparkling with thousands of eyes and look
ing so white by contrast with the darker
shades of clothing and the soot-stained can
vas, now took on an aspect donbly strange.
In each face there appeared to be a still
witer streak, a horizontal line which seemed
to glitter.
"There," exclaimed young Forepaugh,
''look at that for half an acre Of teeth. That
is scene to make dentist weary and In the
circus is the only place you can find it. The
atre audiences do not grin and show their
teeth like that. except up in the gallery
where you can't see them. Walk along over
there by the reserved seats and you'll not
see any such display as this. The people
who sit there don't grin, either, or at least
they don't open their mouths. But even

Is nothing to what you see in the country.

BUILDING AT BACK GAY.
A Large Iron Foundry to be Erected
There by Daniel r. Kelley.

The Back Bay improvement, which is now
being pushed to completion, has been made
with the idea that it would encourage the
erection of small manufactures in that part
OF the city, and it now looks as though the
Improvement viii have the desired effect.
Not long ago Daniel I. Kelley, the well
known manufacturer of agricultural imple-
ments and iron founder, built three story
store house at III Kennebec street, and
now he is going to build a large iron
foundry on the western side of Iii, tore
house on Back Bay George S. Sylvester has
contracted to erect the foundry, which win
be las feet long by 65 feet wide The lumber
has already been received, and work will at
once be begun on the building. fhe latest
machinery for the manufacture of moving
machines and other agricultural implements
will be put into the foundry, in which about
twenty-five experienced workmen will be
employed. Mr.. Kelley will continue to o.
crate the foundry on Cross street, and when
the new foundry is completed he will have,
all told, in his employ some forty men, In
the manufacture of moving machines Mr..
Kelley has successfully competed with
Western manufacturers, and he now pro-
poses to have his share of the patronage of
the farmers of this State.

A Fight in a Centre Street House.

Yesterday afternoon a cry of police"
mingled with other shouts attracted quite a
crowd to small, dilapidated house that il
located in the rear Of the houses next below
the new Burrows wire screen factory on
Center street. From what could be learned
from the crowd outside it appeared that
man was in the house fogging two sickly,
helpless women who are the sole occupants
Oh the house. To investigate the matter Of
hcer Pickett and a PRESS reporter made
their way through the crowd and passing
up narrow, worn out stairway came upon
woman in the room above whose face was
covered with blood that proceeded from sew
eral wounds on her cheeks and one on her
nose. The floor was spattered with blood
from one end to the other. After some hes
itation the woman told officer Pickett that
stranger had entered the house and struck
her several times, the man being intoxicated.
Mr.. Pickett was of the opinion that the man
was still concealed in the house and care
full search resulted in finding upon a bed in
an adjoining room man past the middle
age whose hands and face were red with
blood as wasalso the bosom of his shirt. There
was long cash on the right cheek and an
ugly looking wound over the right eye.
"Take that man out" shouted the woman,
land that is all I'll ask" The man, who
had been drinking. got off the bed, and upon
being questioned said that one of the women
struck him with a club and would have
killed him for his money. In another room
an old woman was found who was, said the
man, the one who used the club. The man,
who gave the name of Andrew Davis, said
that he had always known the women,
story which the old woman corroborated.
Davis was arrested on the spot and taken to
the station.

They May Profit by IL.

Very early yesterday morning, it was only
little past midnight, the police patrol
wagon Landed at the station two well dress
ed young men, each about twenty-five years
of age, whom Officer w. F. Firth arrested at
the City Hotel, on Congress street. These
young fellows had been seen during the eve-
ming With other street walkers, promenading
Congress street, between High and Franklin.
They had been little noisy. and when
certain respectable young man and woman
passed them they made remark that the
young man did not consider fit to be spoken
at such a time. Passing on he met Officer
Firth, and told him what had happened,
whereupon that officer followed the young
men, and before they knew it had them both
by the collar. They begged with will to be
released, and lied about what they had done,
but it was of no avail, they had to go. They
were not taken before the court, because
they promised not to do so again, ''and they
would pay any sum rather than have their
friends know about the natter" but Deputy
Marshal Merrill told them thing or two by
which they will be apt to profit in the future.
The more young men of this type that
Officer Firth arrests the better.
