A JUSTICES SILK GOWN.
A Member Of the Supreme Court De-
cided n Disputed Point.

A Member Of the Supreme Court De-
cided n Disputed Point.
It Is reported that one Of the justices OF
the United States Supreme Court recently
decided a case on sight. and without hear
irg or reading a word Of evidence or law
bearing on 1t. This would seem surprising
without q qualification went with the state
ment. 1t came about in this way: In a par
lor gathering q young lady remarked that
she had just finished. with the aid OF a
lady relative, a silk gown for her uncle,
who is one of the leading bishops Of the
Episcopal Church. To this a reply was
made by another. that she had only re-
Gently seen a gown that WAS made for q
Judge of the supreme court Of Ohio. She
added that all the gowns recently donned
by the Ohio supreme court were made In
this city by the lady who has made SO
many for the justices OF the United states
Supreme Court.
but" Insisted the first talker, ''you know
a Judges gown Is by no means as extensive
an affair as that of a bishop, though just
now I forget exactly hew many yards OF
silk 1t took to make the gown"
The other replied that she was satisfied
that there was more silk in judges gown.
At this moment the portly form of justice
of the Supreme Court appeared on the
scene, and one of the ladies appealed to him
to decide the case. In good-natured way
he answered that he always hesitated be-
fore considering a case which involved in
any manner the question Of church and
state, unless It was presented to him in the
most formal way, but that he would 90 so
far as to decide one branch of the PROPOSE
ton, as he by a circumstance. happened to
have the figures in his mind.
Then, assuming the judicial voice. he re-
piled: 1T takes thirteen yards of double
or twenty six OF single width silk to make
the gown / wear. Now, go and catch your
uncle and measure his gown. and you have
the whole matter"

in Maine.
Some of them intrinsically are very val
liable and others are of moro value even
by historical associations These gavels
are generally used on the day they are re-
ceiyed by the Speaker, and after that they
go to the wife of the Speaker. Mrs Reed
has fine collection Of them, the greater
portion of which were given Mr.. Reed when
he was Speaker Of former House. He
has received four or five this session SO

An intense silence followed the recital
The court reporter rested his head on his

The silence was broken by Falsglen who
had not stirred from his original posture
with the elimination Of about IS per cent
of exaggeration." he remarked dryly, .'Ill

Capitol. The experience I referred to g.

the fears were somewhat aliayed efforts
were made to discover the nature Of the
trouble
"a theory that the vessel had run
aground was dispelled by the lookout man,
who expressed himself as willing to take
oath that not breath.sof air stirring

covered, although life preserves were
thrown out without delay.
Now boys" cor tinaed the congressi al
man, would you believe il Of him? Falls
glen had the nerve to declare that whale
was showing that schooner. Just think Of
a whale in Lake Michigan. Yes, he would
relate with much seriousness that an ex-
animation showed that an adult sperm
whale had run against the stern of the
schooner, head on. The collision was
marked with such force that his whaleship
preceded one-third of his length into the
hull and became fastened there
short, it soon became apparent that the
schooner was leaking badly, but all fear Of
danger from that source was quickly dis
PEELED, for the captive proved equal to the
emergency. AS soon as the leakage as
sumed sufficient depth, Mr.. Whale set his
blow-holes in operation, and when, after
an aperture had been cut through the deck,
two streams of water constantly assembled,
thus keeping the hold clear.
