DEATH OF JUDGE STRONG.

Judge Strong, retired judge of the U
S. Supreme Court, died in New York last
Saturday, at the age of eighty-six. His
name is familiar to Virginia from his
opinion in the case OF Virginia VS.. Rives
In this case Rives, a q. s. District Judge
1.-THE predecessor of Judge Paul. undertook
to imprison several Virginia Judges and
release various convicted negro prisoners,
because the juries were all white and not
mixed. The U. s. Supreme Court turned
Rives down, Justice Strong who delivered
the opinion declaring that "a mixed jury
in a particular case is not essential to the
equal protection Of the laws, and the right
to it is not given by any law of Virginia,
OF by any Federal statute. 1t is not, there
fore, guaranteed by the Fourteenth amend

and then some left for export. 1t is be-
lieved that the crop of wheat. oats and
corn in Nebraska-estimatin the wheat
to bring so cents, the corn Is cents and the
oats Is cents, will bring Thirty-Nine Mil

Kansas City Star says the corn yield is FIVE
hundred millions of bushels, and that "the

1t is worth while to note that the Secretary
betrays earnest signs OF being ready to take
his own advice. Virginia may be congratu-
