THREE JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS

to the senate, by Lno EreSlQen[, curing
the past week. and they were the nomi-
nations of associate justices for De-
loto, Montana and Washington Terri
tories. The first of the trio, John E. Car
land, of Dakota, is comparatively IN
| known here, but the two others have
many friends. The Montana judge is
Moses J. Liddle, If Louisiana, and his
appointment is regarded as being an
| excellent one in every respect. He was
appointed on the solicitation, princi-
pally, of Representative Blanchard,
chairman of the House commit
tee on rivers and harbors. Judge
Liddle was endorsed by the entire
Supreme Court of the State of Louisi-
ana, and by about thirty justices OF the
district, circuit and State courts. The
third appointment was that of LuciuS
B. Nash, of Washington Territory, and
there will be lots of fun over his having
secured the position in spite OF the
efforts of Delegate Voorhees,, who hates
him to an unlimited extent, while Nash
returns the feeling with interest. Judge
Nash is a resident of Spokane Falls,
and owes his appointment to Attorney
General Garland, whose law partner he
was some years ago in Arkansas. he is
a good fellow. a tirst-rate story-teller,
and one of the b'hoys" generally.
The secret or
EXECUTIVE SESSIONS OF THE SENATE
will have to go, and the many move
ments that are being made toward
bringing about that deVoutly-tc-be
wished-for consummation are watched
Wi nj g.
OF such course are in decided min
ority, but they continue to hammer
away ct the doors of prejudice and
fogeyism in such q manner that sounds
as though they meant business. Senator
PlaUt is the enthusiast. He never
misses an opportunity to do
little missionary work for
the good cause, and that he
Will, III a measure, succeed this session
is almost certain, for he has succeeded
in securing from the committee on rules
favorable report on an amendment to
the rules which will, if adopted land
there is every reason TO believe 1t will
be-, leave it Optional with the Senate
whether it will consider anything in
secret session.
Probably no private citizen Of the
capital ever had so great gathering OF
distinguished people at his funeral as
the crowd that stood yesterday. with
bowed heads, while Rev. DR.. Leonard
recited The beautiful burial service over
the remains Of
WILLIAM WILSON CoRCoRAN.
Mrs. Cleveland was present, and sho
had brought with her beautiful floral
pillow as her token of respect and love
for the dead philauthropist. The Cabi-
net, the supreme Court, the Senate, the
House, the army and navy, the Ex-
ecutiVe Departments were all fully rep
resented, while citizens who, like Mr..
Corcoian,z lived in thsRprivacy that is SO
common here among retired business
men, were very numerous indeed. The
flowers that decked the casket were Of
the rarest kind, and they were present
in such profusIOn that their k@leido-
scopic hues wearied the eye. 1t
was fitting close to the beautiful Eiife.
Around his grave in the chilling even
ing wind stood thousands of those who
had been made happier by, his mu-
nifcent benefactions, aud when the chill
dIen who are sheltered in the great
orphan asylum he founded sang their
sad childish hymns there was no heart
in that vast assemblage that was not
more deeply touched. The courts and
the district offices were closed for the
day and nearly every flag in the city
was at half-mast.
THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CHARMING WIFE
have returned from their flying trip to
Florida and have settled down to the
quiet, uneventful celebration of Lent
for all society respects Lent in this
city; that is, to certain extent. Mrs.
Cleveland enjoys having her friends
come in for the evening, and those who
are muslcally gifted are sure of her in
terest and appreciation. The musical
evenings are by no means of rare occur
renee at the White House, and if the
names OF those who contribute to the
programmes were printed it
would create little stir.
In the face of the fact that in this city
is the central bureau of the United
States Secret Service, firm OF
DEALERS IN "GREEN GOODS"
has established itself here and is doing
a remarkt BILE business among those who |
are foolish enough to invest hard |
earned cash in their delusive profession.
A number Of people who ought to know
better have forwarded cash to the firm.
to receive in return four
times as much in counterfeit notes
that cannot possibly be detected"
They have been bitten and nobody re-
yrats it bat themselves.
A sensational dispatch arrived here
and in certain circles it
caused an awful howl. It was only
that Miss Fellows, of Pierre.
Dakota, was engaged to marry full
flooded Sioux Indian, who resides near
he school where she is now teaching.
Hiss Fellows is very well known in this
ity, and the news tIave ed as such news
lways does with extraordinary ra-
'idity. To-day the father of the young
ady came out with strong denial of
he whole story and threatens, for his
laughter, to sue the party who origi-
ated the dispatch and sent it broad
asst over the entire country. /
