made his merit and valor SO conspicuous as
to win the command of a regiment. Col
Kerr returned to civil life and again was
merged into the general mass of citizens
FARTHER honors waited along his pathway.
Having chosen the law his profession, he
displayed qualities which inevitably win for
their posseSSor proud success. He was not
only studious and otherwise industrious. but
he carried into the practice of a lawyer some
thing of that dash and elan which character
lie the true soldier. Clients invariably felt
Charles ID. Kerr they found the sage coun-
sci of Tribonian and many of the char
acteristics of Cicero and Hortensius.
Minnesota welcomed the gallant Union SOL
der, the good citizen and the accomplished
lawyer whose death now claims our atten-
ton. Prominence at the bar and in the
and ever increasing measure. After some
years of professional life in the Northern
regions OF our great state, he came to the
city of st. Paul and wrought here the re-
mainder of the labors allotted to him by
the DEGREES of Providence. AS a member Of
the common council of this city, the pre-
mayor, he acquitted himself with marked
credit. When the number Of judges assigned
TO our local judicial district was increased,
the bar, the bench and citizens in general,
concurred In urging upon the chief executive
OF Minnesota the nomination of our recently
deceased brother, and the name OF Charles
ID. Kerr became enrolled in our judicial an
nails. Twice after the date of his original
appointment did the electorate of our judicial
district grant renewed honors to Judge Kerr.
In very truth, he possessed, in the highest
degree. the esteem and confidence Of that
discriminating constituency which names the
judges of this court.
AS a judge, our departed brother was able
wise and just. His decisions were the result
of patient hearing and careful deliberation by
an expert in legal science who always had
the guidance Of high sense of natural equity.
Such decisions answer all the requirements Of
the bench and fulftt the just expectations Of
the bar.
As presiding judge at common-law trials,
the experience of an advocate showed itself
in Judge Kerr by giving him a singular apti-
tude for affording to counsel full play for
their faculties. thus contributing in the full
est measure to the proper elucidation of all
subjects of controversy. His rulings at trials
were exact, fair and well expressed. His in
structions to juries were ample, plain and
explicit following all the canons of judicial
propriety and tending to each case to the
furtherance of justice.
Some criticism has been advanced upon an
apparent petulance or indignant tone mani
tested at times by Judge Kerr. This eriti-
cism, as usual, proceeds from the uncharita-
bic nature of those who mistake a mere man
nertsm for essential element OF character
and from those who felt the sting Of con-

FULL TEXT of THE MEMORIAL.
Tributes FrOm-the Gentlemen Who
sat Side by Side With the
--r-<--ais-- Dead Jurist.


George L. Bum was yesterday after
noon chosen Gov. David M. Clough
to succeed Charles D. Kerr. recently
deceased, as a judge of the district
Court for the Second judicial district.
Ine appointment came as surprise
to the people in general, and especially
to a number of expectant gentlemen
who laid their wires very early and
very carefully to secure the appoint
ment' Mr.. Bum is a Democrat and has
been one all his life. That is another
reason why good many people were
surprised, yet there appears to be no
grounds for surprise as the governor
IN appointing a Democrat to the bench
puts the district bench back upon
non partisan basis. The judiciary will
now be composed of three Republicans
and three Democrats, nicely restoring
the judicial equilibrium.
George l.. Bum is one Of the ablest
OF the younger attorneys of the city.
He has enjoyed a lucrative practice
for several years and is looked upon by
the community at large as an eminent
ly qualified successor to so good
man and SO upright a judge as
Charles D. Kerr. s,.Mr. Bunn is possessed
of~just the qualities to make him eHndn-
ently successful inpon the bench. He
Is straightforward. fearless. upright,
keen and able. He had the full indorse-
ment OF by far the largest number of
attorneys in the Ramsey County Bar
association, and his selection gives
universal satisfaction to the legal pro-
fession
The new appointee has never sough
honors or political favor and his ap-
pointment as district judge Is there
fore not looked upon as having the
slightest significance in political way.
Mr.. Bum is a young man in years,
but has splendid brain and much
experience to qualify ham for his post.
He was born in Spart}, Wis, Jan. 25,
1865, and is therefore thirty-two years
of age, being the youngest member of
the Ramsey county bench.
He came from judicial stock so to
speak. His fatheris now a noted jur-
list, being United States district Judge
for the Western district Of Wisconsin.
The homestead at present is in Madi-
son. The legal trend Of mind seems
to run in the family, for four of it's
members are able. attorneys, two of
them being now judges. Charles w.
Bum, chief counsel of the Northern
Pacific Railway company, Is one Of
the foremost corporation attorneys in
the country. Another brother is a
member Of a well-known Western firm,
having in charge the affairs of the
Northern Pacific in the state of Wash
ington.
George L. Bum is a graduate of the
law department Of the University of
Wisconsin, at Madison, having grad
uated with honors in 1888. After leav-
ing college, he entered the law offices
Of J. W. Losey in Lacrosse and S. w.
Pinney in Madison, and came to st.
Paul in September Of the same year.
He has been in general practice since
that time in this city, having formed
no partnership. He now has offices in
the New York Life building.

HOGAN HOLDING ON.
County superintendent Will Not
Give Up Office.

County superintendent Of Schools
Hogan says that he will not give up
his office to Superintendent-ele Blake,
for the reason that Mr.. Blake, when
elected, had no permanent residence in
Rosetown, and was therefore ineligible
for election. Mr.. Hogan, when seen
yesterday, said in justification of his
refusal to surrender his Office to Mr..
Blake: .-
Il contend that he has not been elected ac-
cording to law, and had no residence in Rose
town when the election day rolled around.
Two weeks previous to election he went out
there and sought to etablsh a residence with
Mr. Gould. 1t was only temporary, for he
left his family at 5the family residence at
ST. Anthony Park, or within the city limits.
He was therefore ineligible to election for the
reason that his residence in Rosetown was
only for two weeks. and merely for the pur-
pose of getting within the pale of the law.
He did not succeed for l have evidence
showing his entire ineligibility."
1t is also rumored, that in case Blake takes
possession Of the Office, that A. p Hendrick-
son. who was the rival ardidate last No
vember, will demand the Office on the ground
that Blake was Illegally elected and that he

est number of votes. is entitled to the Office.

John Corden was arraigned in the police
court yesterday upon the charge Of assault
and battery, preferred by John Borti. The
two men are Italians living on the upper flats
and during New Years celebration engaged

the worst of the argument. The man was
not seriously injured, but had his neighbor
called for fine of SIS, which the prisoner
paid to secure immunity from a workhouse
sentence.

VERY WARM WEATHER.
New Years Day Broke All Records
Here

New Years day broke all records, SO far
as the government records will show, for
high temperature on the opening day Of the
year. Jan l was the warmest day for this
time of the winter since the government
bureau was established in st. Paul in 1872
The next highest was on Jan. "a 1872 Last
year on Jan. 1 the mercury stood at below
and on the third of the same month it had
dropped to 20 below. The highest temper
allure during January last year was "A de-
grees, on the 9Th. For the past 80 years the
winters Of the Northwest have been grow
ing steadily warmer. and the winters Of the
East have grown correspondingly colder
About dusk Friday night a chill northwest
wind came up and before morning the wind
had hammered the mercury down over AZ
degrees, stopping it at 10 above. Today will
be colder and very probably clear. The
warmest place in the country yesterday was
st. Louis, where the mercury was at IS
above. At Fargo it was above and the
cold wave is headed this way.

Blue Moons and Green suns.

''Once in blue moon is a saying which
is not merely faHciful expression for
extreme rarity, but appears to be founded
on fact. Blue moons are very rarely seen,
however, much more rarely than blue or
green suns. The present writer was for
.tunate enough to see a blue moon several
years ago, about the time when the
atmosphere was supposed to be i'm
pregnated with the dust of the Krakatoa
eruption. The color was like that of a
hedge sparrow's egg. a pale Father green
lsh blue, and it gradually died away in
some minutes after he first caught sight
of it, Blue, or rather green, suns were
observed at Madras and elsewhere about
that time. A green sun was observed at
