The supreme court of The United
States celebrated yesterday the cen
tennial Of the federal judiciary. During
the hundred years Of its existence the
supreme court of the United States has
always held as high rank as the court
of final resort Of any nation Of the world
and is to-day probably the strongest of
any. The court has been a clean and
pure one from the first, and it has been
seldom that even an invidual member
has been accused of dishonest motives
in rendering an opinion. The federal
judiciary system has been proved to be
the best that at the present time can be
devised and the court that celebrated
its centennial yesterday has done its
part in unfolding and advancing the
interests and welfare OF the government.

It was in- deed narrow escape not only for MT Schamerhorn, but for the two little girls.
