and true, there were hundreds more capa-
BILE of filling the position than Mr.. horn

Mr.. Hill did not attack the personal
character of the nominee, but reviewed
the history of his practice in New York and
claimed that the record was enough to
convince him and majority Of the senate

Mr.. Hornblower for the place While he did
not charge that the practice Of Mr.. Horn.
blower was not entirely respectable. he
asserted that 1t was not of character to
Justify the president In selecting him foy
this office In the face of the fact that
thcre were so many lawyers OF established
reputation to whom the position might
have been ;-sndered.
Mr.. Hill also asserted that while the
appointment had been made from New
York, neither of the New York senators
had been consulted in making it, and he
evidently desired that 1t should be under
stood that he regarded it as personal Sc
lection Of the president. To this he had
no objection, but such a selection should
have been man who was entitled to the
confidence and respect of his associates in
the legal profession of his state.
The moderation which Senator Hill dis
played was commended by several OF the
senator's, as it was expected by some that
he might make the occasion one for an at
tack upon the administration.
Senator Gray, Of Delaware, made brief
speech in favor of confirmation. He con-
sidered Mr.. Hornblower an able lawyer
and worthy Of the high place to which he
had been nominated.

the Judiciary committee. He said that
the minority as well as the majority had
weighed the evidence for and against tho
confirmation. No pains had been spared
Z by those who were opposed to Mr. Horn
blower to gather up every shred of evidence
which could be found against him. The
nomination had been held in the judiciary
committee many weeks while the enemies
of Mr.. Hornblower had been seeking in
every direction for something to present
against him. During that time nothing
had been found which reflected q single
shadow against his personal character,
and his integrity was acknowledged, even
by his opponents, to be without blemish.
Senator Villas then read many letters
from prominent attorneys In New York
city and other places throughout the
country attesting the high personal char
acter and the ability Of Mr.. Hornblower.
Many Of these letters spoke of Mr.. Horn
blower as a liberal, progressive and
learned man, and contradioted the state
ments that his practice was of limited
character, and not such as to fit him for
place on the supreme bench.
Short speeches were also made by Sena-
tors Palmer and Hoar In favor Of con-
firmation, and by Senators Teller and
Coke against.
There is already considerable specula-
tion as to who will be selected for the Of
flee, and among the names mentioned are

The applause on the Republican side
and in the galleries was deafening when
Mr.. Reed sat down.

Mr.. Reed rose slowly to his feet and re-
marked ironically that what he said
couldn't be tortured into any such state
ment.
No Charity In Commerce.
Mr.. Cochran asked Mr.. Reed several
times to restate his position, but the latter
refused, and Mr.. Cochran proceeded. He

wealth. All wealth, he thought, was con-
sumable. The basis OF wealth was to the
capacity to produce You cannot save un-

you create. When you make production
expensive you limit its power.
He agreed with Mr.. Reed that there was
no such thing as charity in commerce.

A California womsn Tries to Dispstch
One with u Hoe.
Mrs. A. H. Mckinney, living on the
Lenita ranch in North Chollas valley,
has killed a good many rattlesnakes
in the time she has lived in the valley.
Rattlesnakes are epicures in their
way, and the same genial warmth
that ripens the orange and pome-
granate is much esteemed by them.
That is why they are frequent callers
in the vineyards and orchards in
Chollas. Mrs. Mckinney has disposed
of the unwelcome visitors by means Of
a sharp hoe, which cuts their exist
ence short, but the other dav she en-
countered q fat RATHER that almost
got away.
She heard O tremendous whizzing
and rafting on the side of the hill ut
the other end of the vineyard, and
went up there. The noise was m de
by big snake that had been stood mp
by the family cat He was mad, and
warned the cat in tones that vibrated
so fast THAI she couldn't sc his tail.
Mrs Mckinney did not dare to at
tack the snake with hoe alone. be-
cause he was big and ready to tight:
SO she sent her little girl for q revolt
YER, and took three shots at him. The
last bullet came within an inch OF the
snakes head, and he decided to move.
He glided toward big bush. and Mrs.
