The Hon. Stanley Matthews. Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme Court
who has been seriously i'll for some time past
died at 1880 o'clock in the morning at his
home in Washington City.
Mr.. Matthews had been sick for three
weeks, although his original illness date:
| much further back. For two weeks before
his death his condition had been considered
serious. Dr. johnson was in constant at
tendance, and during the latter part of his
illness DR.. Lincoln was in consultation with
him. On the night of his death Justice
Matthews was so much worse that DR.
Johnson remained with him during the
night. He passed away peacefully. All OF
his family, with the exception of his son,
were present at the death scene.
When the Supreme Court met the chair
which had been occupied by Justice Mat
thews was draped in black. When the JUS
tees had taken their seats and the Marshal
had opened the court, Chief Justice Fuller
announced that the court had just heard of
the death of Justice Matthews, and that
therefore no business would be transacted
that day. The Marshal declared the court
adjourned until the following Tuesday.
Stanley Matthews was born in Cincinnati,
July p, 1924. He was graduated at Kenyon
College in 1910, studied law and was ad-

Common Pleas in Hamilton County, was
State Senator in 1855, and in 1861 was
United States Attorney for the southern
district of Ohio.
He served with distinction in the Union
Army during the war. but resigned his COM
mission as Colonel i'll 1868 to become Judge
of the Supreme Court in Cincinnati.
He was Presidential elector on the Lin
coln-J Johnson ticket in 1854 and on the Grant
Colfax ticket in 1868. He was defeated as
Republican candidate for Congress in 1876
and in the next year was one of the counsel
before the celebrated Electoral Commission,
opening the argument in behalf of the Re-
publican electors of Florida and making the
principal argument in the Oregon case.
In March, 1877, he was elected United
States Senator in place of John Sherman,
who had resigned.
In 1881 he was appointed Associate Justice
of the United States Supreme Court by

Antics of u Compass,

An Ellenville lawyer, who was in
Kingston the other day, said to a Free
man reporter: While in the woods a
few days ago came across Il surveyor
who was puzzled. The surveyor had
been engaged to run line, but he found
every time he leveled his compass, &c
use a surveyors expression. his line ran
in the air.
1.-The surveyor said his compass had
never cut up that caper before, and he
didn't know what allied it. The nortl
star must be all out of gear. | said: Sc,
here, what sort of Il hat have you on:
The surveyor took off his hat why
an ordinary hat with stiff brim,' Yes
stiff brim, and there is the trouble
If you examine you will find a steel wir,
in it. Hang your hat on your compass
and see what it will do He did so, an,

his hat behind him, and his faithfu

tn. Emotions Of Man and Brute.

II we have regard To emotions as these
occur in the brute. we cannot fail to he
struck by the broad fact that the area of
psychology which they cover is so nearly
coextensive with that which Is covered
by the emotional faculties of man. In
my previous works have given what
consider UNREASONABLE evidence of all
the following emotions. which | here
name in the order of their appearance
through the psychological scale--fear
surprise. affection, pugnacity, curiosity,
jealousy, anger. play, sympathy. emula-
tion. pride. resentment. emotion Of the
beautiful. grief, hate. cruelty. benevo-
ience, revenge. rage. shame. regret, de-
ceitfulness, emotion of the ludicrous.
Now. this list exha,sts all the human
emotions, with the exception OF those
which refer to religion, moral sense and
perception OF the sublime. Therefore
think we are fully entitled TO conclude
that, so far rs emotions are concerned
il cannot be snid that the facts of ami
mai psychology raise any difficulties
against the theory of descent. On thu
contrary, the emotional life of animals
is so strikingly similar to the emotiona
life Of MAINLAND especially of young
children-that think the similarity
ought fairly to he taken as direct evi
denoe of gcnetic continuity between
them. q j. Romanes In Popular Sci

SONGS ENSUING.

Sweet the song of the thrush at dawuing,
When the grass lies wet with spangled dew,
Sweet the sound Of the brook 8 low whisper
Mid reeds and r,isbes wandering through
Clear and pure Ia the west winds murmur
That croous In the branches all day long
But the songs unsung are the sweetest music
And the dreams that die are the soul OF song
The farest hope Is the one which faded,
The brightest leaf Is the leaf that fell;
The song that leaped from the lips or sirens
Dies away liz an old sea shell
Far to the heights Of viewless fancy
The souls swift flight like swallow goes,
For the note unheard Is the birds best carol
And the bud unknown " the reddest rose
Deepest thoughts are the ones unspoken,
That only the heart sense, listening, hears;
Most great Joys bring touch OF silence.
Greatest grief is In unshed tears
What we hear Is the fleete;st echo.
song dies out, but dream lives on;
The rose red tints OF the rarest morning
Are lingering yet in n distant dawn
Somewhere dim In the days to follow.
Aud far AWAY In the life to be,
Passing sweet. IL q song OF gladness,
The spirit chant OF the soul set free.
Chords untouched are the ones we wait for
That never rise from the harp unstrung;
We turn our steps to the years beyond us,
And listen still for the songs unsung

Women Who Want Shoes.

1t is an easy matter for an experienced
man to handle women who want Shoes If
she asks for a certain number he will net go
away and get the size. He will take off her
shoe and have look at her foot, from which
he can tell at glance just what sort of shoe
will fit her. Get one that will make her foot
feel comfortable and that will look nice, and
she purchases at once. II you take her word
for the number, the chances are that you will
be deceived, for woman has an unaccount-
able objection to telling her exact number,
even if it is in the threes. A green clerk soon
learns this little popularity after he has
shown everything in the shop to several who
will not buy. Another rule with women is
not to show them too much. Let them see
several nice things and their choice is easy,
if they are suited; but show them your whole
stock and they will want to see more. find
that ladies are not so given to cramping their
feet as formerly, SO as to make them seem
smaller Young misses still do that, but
women of the world are not so willing to in
jure their feet. The introduction OF English
styles has done this, for English ladies al
ways wear comfortable shoes, regardless of a
tight tis.-Shoe Clerk in Globe Democrat.

CheQue Banks,

The very latest importation Of an
English notion in New York is an inno
walton in banking circles, known as the
cheque bank. which has opened up a
branch of the London institution. The
system is totally different to that of any
other banking institution, for the reason
that its assets are invested in govern.
ment securities, and that it does not dis
count notes or bills like other banks. In
addition to this they never issue check
until the value of the check is deposited
in the bank. A customer opening up an
account with the bank deposits, for in
stance, 81 900 and receives a check book
with checks to the value of 81 900, each
having its value distinctly printed and
perforated upon its face. The customer
may fill out check for less than its
face value, and the difference will go to
his credit, cash for which will be paid or
added to new book. 1t is intended tc
furnish these checks cheaper than the
rates charged for international exchange
arrangements being made with desig,
mated bankers in 1900 cities of Europe
to honor them, and ultimately they vii
be accepted by shppkeepers. st, Louis
