Dairy Legislation.

At the meeting Of the State Dairy
association at Abilene in November
A. E. Jones of Topeka, e. A. Strick-
land Of junction CITY, Fred Hoffman
Of Newton, Prof. O. O. Georgeson Of
Manhattan, j. E. Nissley and George
Morgan of Miltonvale were selected
as a committee on Legislation. The
ccmmittee held its first meeting at
the Fifth Avenue hotel in Topeka re-
Gently and took the preliminary steps
towards framing a law which will be
presented to the Legislature
The measure contains the ideas
suggested by Mr.. Morgan, dropping
the dairy school proposition, calls
npon the Legislature to appoint a
dairy and puSe food commissioner
for the state, with one assistant. Mr..
Morgan SAID that the growth OF the
pure food sentiment and the coming
exposition in Topeka are features of
such importance that the two depart
ments should be combined.
The committee, Of which A. n.
Jones is chairman and Fred Hoffman
secretary, adopted a resolution that
the State Dairy association should
select three names and present them
to the governor, be to select the dairy
and pure food commissioner from
that list. This provision will hardly
survive, even if the bill be passed, ssid
one of the committeeman last night.
The committee held another session
today and discussed positions Of the
bill, although its salient points have
already been agreed upon. The mem-
bars will return home today.
The senator and representative who
will introduce the bill in the two
houses have not been selected. The
members Of the dairy association will
come to Topeka in large nUmters to
work for the passage Of the bill.
Chairman Jones Of the Legislative
committee has been in communication
with the members Of the legislature
and has received from 100 out Of 165
members letters containing for the
most part promises TO aid the passage
OF the dairy law.

A Word to Young rIen.

Last year accompanied by two COM
panlons we made New Years calls.
The party had much difficulty in OBJ
tanning enterance to some homes, at
others the doors we're closely barred.
In many of the residences the party
did enter the reception was to say the
least decidedly cold. This year how
ever we forced ourself upon a party
made up of a doctor, lawyer, and
an undertaken, and made the rounds.
Doors that last year we're locked,
opened on the instant, those we en-
tered last year, this stood open,
Smiles everywhere. The Happy
New Year" yet ring in our ears
Why the change? 1t was because
OF our associates AT every home
inquiries were made for one Of our
companions of the year before, and
everywhere were expressions of re-
greet at his absence from the city. So
young men you cannot be too careful
in choosing your associates, as we
found by our experiences of two
years of New Years calling.

approval Of the American people, yet
it is to the great glory of those people
that always and everywhere has been
yielded a willing obedience to them.
That fact is eloquent of the stability
of the popular institutions and demon
strates that the people of these United
States are capable of self-government.
GAS I look back over more than a
third of century that I have sat on
this bench I am more and more i'm
pressed with the Unreasonable impor-
tance of this court. 1t carries neither
the purpose nor the sword. But it pos
sesses the power of declaring the law
and in that is fuAnd the safeguard which
keeps the whole mighty fabric of gov
eminent from rushing to destruction.
This negative power, the power of re-
sistance, is the only safety of popular
government, and it is an additional
hands as yours when I give place to
my successor. But can never cease to
hnger on the memories of the past.
Among the compensations for all the
hard work that a seat on this bench
imposes have been the intimacies and
friendships that have been formed be-
tween its members. Though we have
often differed in our opinions it has al
ways been an honest difference, which
did not affect our mutual regard"
The courts reply, which is signed by
all the members, expresses deep regret
at the loss it has sustained and pays
a high tribute both to the character and
ability of Justice Field.
The president apparently has not yet
decided upon the appointments that
Justice Fields retirement will occasion,
save that AttorneyGeneral McKenna
will be named for the supreme bench,
unless some cause interyenes between
now and December to prevent 1t.
After tbs adjournment of court today
the justices and the officers of the court
called in body at Justice Fields house
and took official leave of the retiring
justice. Although his resignation does
not take effect until the first of Deem
Der, 1t is the understanding that JUS
tice Field will not resume his seat on
tha bench during the interim.

A more appropriate time for the pro-

Lift. This is the title of a new melo-
drama by I. N. Morris, which is based
upon Cuba's fight for independence now
being SO spiritedly waged in the island
1t will be given at the opera house to-
night.
There are scenes in the play which
stir an audience to wild enthusiasm.
The scenes are laid in Florida and Cuba
and afford many opportunities for pic
turesque scenic display which the man
agement has not been slow to take adj
vantage of. The story is said to be
dramatically strong and deals princi-
pally with the adventures of an Ameri-
can serving as a volunteer in General
Gomez's Cuban army.
Murray G. Mack, the well known and
popular Irish comedians, will visit Bir-
mingham next Tuesday, when they will
appear at the opera house afternoon
and evening. They will present a brand
new play called "F'innigans Courtship."
1t is said to be full of humor, melody
and movement. AS farce comedy stars,
they have for long time been counted
among the best and have always been
surrounded by large and capable COM
pany. This season Is no exception to
the rule. AS In the past, many speciali-
ties will be introduced both concerted
and individual, as almost every member
of the company is specially performer
of more or less prominence. Murray &
Mack will present their well known
originalities. The very fact that their
acts are so extensively initiated is in
itself an enviable Endorsement. The
principals in support are Charles Nor

Senator Jones Was Married.


To the Editor of The Age Herald
Matt Mynor's Romance of Senator
Jones of Florida is romantic in some
respects. I was we'll acquainted with
Senator Jones at Pensacola. Mr.. Mynor
was in error in saying he had never
married. He married Miss Quigley, of
Pensacola, and she died there, leaving
several children, one of whom is at this
is well known among those who watched
the career of the senator, that his atten-
tions to Miss Palm were an incident
of his insanity. which developed about
the time she visited Washington, and
that it is not true that he wrecked his
life for the sake of a woman who
ltrampled his affections under her feet"
In his sane moments, Senator Jones
never worried about woman or women
to any great extent. He was a
man of lovable character, brave, intel
lectual, sturdy, and a wonderful orator
and brilliant lawyer.
Jones served two terms in the senate,
retiring from that body in 1887. In the
election of Senator Jones to succeed
a member of the state legislature) a bit
ter contest arose and a deadlock ensured.
A change of one vote would have set
tied it. Jones was a candidate and for
It'll -
urged to vote for llims: If for the pur-
pose of breaking the deadlock, but for
some time persistently refused. At the
inst.gation of Rev. w. w. Hicks, who
was at that time WILL known in politics
and a member of the legislature, Jones
was persuaded to cast his own vote as
a member of the legislature, for him
s=lf aus candidate for the United States
senate. Jones created quite sensa-
ton in the house of representa- tives by
making the following statement: I'm the
name Of the people of Escambia county
1 cast my vote for Charles w. Jones'"
This broke the deadlock and Jones be-
came senator. This appears to have been
the only instance on record where a man
voted for himself as United States SEN
ator.
He was carpenter when he first came
to Pensacola ait about the age of a. He
went to Milton, Santa Rosa county, Fla
and piled his trade. He said one
day, whilst at work with D. w. Austin,
now of Birmingham, 81 will give up car
pentering, and become a lawyer" Mr.
Jones then and there left the carpen-
tering trade behind him, studied law
was elected to the legislature, and later
became senator from his adopted state
He subsequently visited his old home
in Ireland and was given the freedom
of many cities. His visit to the old
country he had left as poor, ignorant
boy, was an ovation, Of which the
proudest might have been proud. 1 will
thank you to insert the above in JUS
tice to the memory of great man,
whose children survive him. Yours
truly,
