A Retired Supreme Justice.

Louisville Courier-J Journal.
VIM. Strong is often referred to as
the most sensible man in Washing
ton. He served ten years on the su-
preme bench, and then proved wise
enough to take advantage ofthe law
that allows him to retire on full pay.
He was born on the 9th OfMay, 1903,
in Somers, Conn. After graduating
from Yale, he taught for time and
studied law. He was admitted to the
bar in Pennsylvania in 1882. He
served in Congress during several
terms, running in every election on
the Democratic ticket. In 1857 he
was appointed Justice of the supreme
bench of Pennsylvania, and in 1870
he received his commission as men,
Der of the United States supreme
court. In 1880 he resigned and has
since lived quietly in Washington,
lecturing occasionally, aud perform
ing faithfully the one duty that the
law requires of him. Whenever the
supreme court is required to take
part in any public ceremonies Judge
Strong puts on his robe and walks
with them in the procession. Incon-
sideration of this and his past ser
vices he receives $4,000 annually
from Uncle Sans treasury

Death Preferred to Indigestion.
From the Philadelphia Record.

Death was preferable to indiges-
ton to Ernest Boethig, who was
found dead in bed at his home, 252
McIllwain Street, with bullet in his
head. In one of his pockets was
found this letter, written i'll German:
My Dear Wife: forgive all. have moth
ing to live for. All goes to my boy Karl
The last bread you made was very heavy.
Boethig and his wife did not live
very happily together, as the letter
shows, and on the 10Th inst. they
quarreled, and the husband threw Il
tiat-irOn at his wife He then gave
her 500 gold piece and drove her
from his house. Special Officers Sta
ter and Keegan broke into the house
and found Boethig's body in bed
propped up with pillows, and in his
lap lay large revolver. Beside the
body was a picture of Boethig and
his wife as they appeared on their
wedding day. The remnants of a
meal were on the Kitchen table, and
conspicuous among the articles bare
ly touched was some homemade
bread, evidently part of the batch re-
ferred to in Boethig's last letter. He
had eaten Oft, though it killed him,

A Boston Girl on Her Dignity,

Among those who addressed the
railroad ticket agent was a young
woman whose dress and bearing be-
tokened the average amount of in
teligence. "a ticket, please" she
said, handing over some money.
Where to-" inquired the ticket
agent. "Why, you know" said the
woman, in a somewhat surprised
tone. "But l don't know, madam, !"
was the reply. The would be pur-
chaser cast alook OF scornupon him.
"Why I've patronized this place for
over a year." she said, land you
know me we'll enough. SO give me
a ticket" But the agent, of course,
could not distinguish her from an. ong
the thousands who face him daily.
Indignant was she as she turned
away, saying to her companion,
The college graduates are so stuck
up! The idea of his making fun of
me in that way. l declare! | won't

American "SnObs'' the Worst.

New York Evening Post.
The tips given by Americans inEn-
gland, by the way, are almost al
ways too large, and by this they
add to their expenses in a manner
which greatly astonishes English peo-
pie, who regard all tips as an exac-
ton, not to be inflated in a spirit of
liberality, but to be reduced to q
minimum in spirit of economy.
An American alwayslikes to be richer
than he is. An Englisman does not
care button what the porter
thinks of him, and gives the man
what he thinks such a man ought to
expect, and no more. In the same
way Americans always increase
their expenses by travelling first
class, on q sort Of noblesse oblige
principle, a habit which cause infinite
amusement among the more eco
nomical English, and gives point to
the old joke that no one travels
first class except fools and Ameri.

Horace A. TaylOr'S Monkey,

When Fl. A. Taylor, of Hudson,
Wis, who was for some years consul
at Marseille, France, established the
precedent of resigning a foreign posi-
ton, and returned to his native land
with his family, he brought with him
a small monkey which had been pur-
chased in France, an affectionate lit
tie thing, as large as small rag
baby. 1t was placed in a basket at
ter arriving in New York and the
family came through in a Pullman
sleeper. There being rules against
the transportation of live animals on
Pullman cars, Mr.. Taylor's people
kept Jim under the seat in a small
basket. The first night the porter
suspected that there was something
wrong in the basket. On previous
occasions he had found that travellers
had Struggled dogs under the seat,
and by making fuss about it he U.s.
ually got fee from the owner of the
dog. 1t occurred to him to investi-
gate the basket He took hold of it,
raised the cover, and something
Jumped out. The cOlored man
dropped the basket and went back
to his place with visions Of a small
cbild's face lying about the car. He
had seen the face of the mon
key in the dim light, and he thought
some orphan asylum had lost a
promising member. The monkeyra
through the car attempting to find
his friend. Mr.. Taylor heard the
monkey squeal, and was satisfied
that it had escaped, SO he got up,
and, attired in his night-cap, searched
for the monkey. There was fat
man in a berth adjoining Mr.. Tay-
lor's who had been snoring in loud
tone of voice, and the snore suddenly
ceased. Mr.. Taylor thought that it
might be possible that the monkey
was the cause OF the pause, and he
drew the curtains of the birth aside
and looked in. The monkey was sit
ting on the breast of the fat man,
and the eyes of the fat man were open
and sticking out far enough to hang
O. hat on. His face was red and pale
by turns, and he was evidently con-
siderably worked up. Mr.. Taylor
said: partner, guess l will take
this monkey away" The manlooked
at Mr.. Taylor and said, Doctor. l
am satisfied that you mean kindly,
you are trying to make me believe
that there is a monkey here; but /
have got them, and | know it. Now,
if there is anything in your medicine
case, give it to me, but don't waste
time trying to tell me that there is o
monkey here" Mr.. Taylor tried TO
reassure him, and tell him he need
not be alarmed about his condition,
and he reached up to take monkey
off. The fat man reached up and
said, doc just give me little whis-
key and it will be all right" Then
Mr.. Taylor, who felt sorry for the
man, put the monkey back in It's
basket, opened his valise and brought
out bottle of brandy, such as all,
Republicans bring from France on
their way home, and told the victim
that he would feel better after taking
it. The man drank the brandy,
rolled over and went to sleep, moth
ing further was said about the mon
kew. and to this day that fat man
thinks that he had the narrowest es-
cape from iim-jams that man ever
had in the world. Peaks Sun.

To impart strength and to give feeling Of

ers, housewives operators and all Others whohaYe
been closely confined during the winter and who
need good spring medicine, to try Hoods Sar-

tice to take from three to five bottles Of Hoods
Sarsaparilla, because know it purifes the blood
and thoroughly cleanses the system of all impu-

THURSDAY, APRIL 10.

SENATE-The reapportionment bill came
up in the senate as a special order and was
put through to final passage in a way that
showed that the friends OF the measure had
fully determined TO accept it's every section,
and to permit no time to be wasted i'll think
ing over it. Not every senator was q friend
of the bill, however.
The special committee appointed on motion
of Mr.. Daniels to take under consideration
the bill in relation to agriculturatal societies
and providing for he annual appropriations
therefor, reported it back, and it was passed
without amendment. The annual appropri-
alton of So, 900 for the Southern Minnesota
Agricultural society, over which the fight was
made, is therefore saved and remains avail
able.

for passage.

Balrour,s Brutal Testing.

LONDON, February 22.-In the Com.
mons to-day Parnell described the treat
ment to which Carew had been subjected
in prison. He had been stripped forcibly,
his hair and mustache shaved of, and he
was compelled to lie one day on plank
bed because he refused to put on the
prison garb. Parnell asked was it the
Chief Secretary's duty to do
what was practically murder? Was
he going to leave Carsw without
even flannel shirt, should he disregard
the warning of the late Mandeville's fate
and persist in his rigid adherence to the
law which he was mainly instrumental
in passing, and under which no differ
ence was made between political and
ordinary prisoners. The judgment of the
country would not hold him guiltless
of the consequences. Balfour re-
Piled that he had no knowledge
Of the matter and limited that
Parnells advices might be inaccurate.
He adhered to the position that all pris-
oners must be treated alike. To say that
man was kept naked because he re-
fused to don the clothes provided for
him was gross misuse Of the English
language. Prison statistics seemed to
show that there was some connection be-
tween physical weakness and the Irish
