THE DEAD LNSTLCE

In the death of Justice Samuel r..
Miller the supreme court of the United
States loses its most tried and, in the esti-
nation OF many competent to judge, its
most able jurist,
Judge Miller was born in Richmond,
KY, April S. 1916. He graduated at the
university Of Pennsylvania with the de-
gree of doctor of medicine, and practiced
the profession for a few years, after
which he turned his 10 the
study of law, As early a ls4s he was a
pronounced advocate of emancipation.
He removed to Iowa in 1850. and became
one Of the leaders Of the republican party
there. He refused various nominations
for public offices, his whole time and at
tention being engrossed in the practice of
law until 1862, when President Lincoln
appointed him one of the justices Of the
supreme bench. 10 point of service be
was the oldest member of the supreme.
court, Justice Field, of California, who
was appointed IN 1868, now succeeding to
that honor.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that long as was Justice Miller's
term of service it has been exceeded in
six instances. Chief Justice Marshall,
the most profound and able man who
ever sat on the bench, served thirty-four
years, while Judge Storey. who was even
more learned and almost equally famous,
served for precisely the same number of
years. In the last four years the supreme
court has lost six members-David DAVIS
of Illinois and Ward Hunt of New York.

an old Des Moines boy, son of Mr.. Geo.

condition now as II was when Grant
died. The same furniture stands in the

burned down to the socket stands on the

in which he breathed away his last
hours. Pieces Of his last writing, con-
sisting Of slips from his pad. are shown,
and there is a tall. fine looking soldier in

takes care of the relics. There are, on
the average. about "a, 200 visitors a year

Nearly every one that comes wants to
take away some memento of the place.
and many pick mp the gravel of the walk

The truth is that this gravel has to be

Arkell, who owns the mountain, tells
me he was offered 49,, 900 for the cot

EX- SECRETARY BELKNAPS
DEATH

The sudden death OF William w. Bel
KNAPP recalls to mind a brilliant career Of
almost boundless possibilities which
suddenly passed under a cloud and was
cut short with an abruDtness that startled
the whole country.
BeIknap, who was the son OF a United
States army officer, was born in Hudson
City, New York. in 1881. He graduated
from Princeton college in ls4S, and
adopting the law as profession settled
at Keokuk. Iowa. He served a term in
the Iowa legislature, and on the breaking
out of the rebellion went into the war as
major Of volunteers. He was present at
the battles Of Shiloh and Yickshurg. aud
afterwards accompanied Gen. Sherman
on his brilliant campaign to the sea. He
was rapidly promoted until be got COM
nand Of enc of the divisions OF the army
as major general
After the war he was appointed inter
nal revenue collector, which position be
held until he entered President Grants
cabinet as secretary of. war. This was in
October. 1869. In March. 1876, he sud
denly resigned.
The house impeached him for receiving
brides for the appointment OF a pos
trader at Fort Sill. On the very forenoon
of the day on which the charge wa
taken up in the senate be resigned. TIL

The London Electrician calls atten-
ton to some curious condolences be-
tween the names of inventors and me-
chanical appliances which have given
rise to absurd mistakes. 1t was com
monty supposed years ago that the
Brush machine was so called on no
count of some special kind of brushes,
and that the Lever arc lamp derived
its name from two peculiar levers in its
mechanism. The Ball dynamo has no
spherical armature, as might be sup
posed The Short electric railway sys-
TEN is not specially adapted for lines of
limited length. Bright shackles are
never polished, and the Siemens gal
vanometer has nothing to do with the
mariners compass, with which begin
ners sometimes confoundj it
The Parsons engine is not q clerical
device, and the Upward battery has
nothing in common with Excelsior a r
bons. Such popular errors may be ex-
cused, however, when we find a recog-
nized text book explaining the Daniels
cell MS being so called because of its
c~onstancyl In this country u large
number of people have always thought
that the Bell telephone was so called
because Of the bell which is attached
to it, and $ o widespread was this belief
that the Long Distance Telephone com
pany made it serve a commercial pur-
pose by adopting the bell as their trade
mark.

Whitelaw Reid is sparely elongated Of
frame, and suffers his dusky lovelocks to
futter in negligent p~rofusion behind his
ears. He is urbane Of manner, though
he married money. BE is also three
and-hfty, and made his first success in
Journalism as a war correspondent, un-
der the signature of Agate" After the
war he wrote an elaborate ''History OF
Ohio in the War" which attracted the
attention OF Chief Justice Chase, and he
invited MIR. Reid to accompany him on
his southern trip in 1865, an account Of
which he wrote.
The chief justice introduced him to
Horace Greeley, who made him his sec
rotary and managing editor of The Trib-
une, and since Greeley's death in 1879 no
has been ed~itor-in-chief. He was at one
time superintendent of schools at Charles

FIRST STATE LEGISLATURE.

FIRST STATE LEGISLATURE
The governor has called the Legislature
to meet here on-Nov.-I 10. Under the
constitution this session may be sixty days
in length, but thereafter the legislative
terms are limited to forty days. The
much abused schedule of the constitution
contains this provision, which will be OF
increasing interest as time goes OF:
Within ten days after the organization
of the legislature, beth houses of the leg
i~sIature, 10 Joint session, shall then and
there proceed to elect. as provided by law,
two senators Of the United States for the
state of WTomiug. At said election the
two persons who shall receive the majority
of all the votes cast bY~said seuasors
and representatives : shall be electeda as
such United States senator's and shall
be so declared by the presiding officers of
said Joint session. The presiding off
GERS of the Sc nate and house shall issue a
certificate to each of said senators certi-
tying his election, which certificates shall
also be signed BY the governor and at
tested by the secretary of state"
There will be an immense amount OF
work to be done at he-frst session of the
legislature but it is safe to assert that the
United States senatorship question will
absorb all interest until such time as the
legislature announce its decision.

A majority of people who buy shoes
in this house leave their old ones. | pre-
sumo this is true of other shoe houses. |
have noticed that the sole of the right
shoe-I mean the old shoe-is worn
down very thin on that point where the
ball of the foot rests. l have seen SO
many such that l got to thinking about
it, and have come to this conclusion:
Nearly everybody in a city like Chicago
rides on the street cars. Nearly every
body gets off his or her car on the right
hand side of the car, and in alighting
the right foot is the first to strike the
stone paving, OF whatever the paving
may be, and it strikes on the ball of the
foot. This in time wears down the sole
of the right shoe at hat point. Inter
