This INCIDENT is told merely 10 illustrate
the tenacity of purpose which actuates
Justice Field. He is an aggressive fighter,
and it has been said of him that he would
not hesitate 10 tilt with old death himself.
1t is feared, however, that the great
jurist must soon relinquish his hold upon
his office. His life hangs by a slender
thread. He totters 10 and from the court
room; yet, strangely enough. he is con-
sidered mentally qualified to sit on the
bench. perusal OF his written opinions
would not indicate any impairment of his
mind, but there is suspicion that his
associates render valuable assistance in
the preparation of his decisions.
When James a. Waymire was here, he
dined one day with Justice Field. He
reported later that he thought the Justice
was only anxious to complete a service
that would'exceed that of John Marshall.
who was on the bench for a longer term
than anv other Supreme Court mem Der.
But later, Mr.. Waymir revised his opinion
ana 1elt that Mrs. Fleld'S social am Dltlon
would keep her husband on the bench as
long as the aged iurist was BILE to perform
his duties.
Chief Justice Marshall, beginning his
term in 1901, was thirtyfour years five
months and four days on the bench.
James NJ. Wayne served from 1926 to 1867.
Justice Field began his service in 1868,
four years before Wayne ceased his SER
vice, and has continued TO this day. If
Justice Field lives until August 16 he will
have served one day longer than Marshall
There has been one older man on the
bench of the Supreme Court than Justice
Field. Chief Justice Roger b. Taney
went upon the bench when he was 50
years of age, and remained upon it until
death removed i'm at the age of 81 years

Frank j. Murasky Explains the Doc
trine of the Catholic Church to Phil
Sheridan Council, Y. NJ. L.
There was large audience in Mission
Opera Hall last evening on the occasion
of the lecture and entertainment given by
the Central Lecture Bureau. under the
auspices of Phil Sheridan Council No. 72,
Y. Nj. l.
Henry Pinkham. president of the coun-
Gil, delivered short address explanatory
Of the organization.
The Misses Celia and Annie Tighe gave
piano duet, after which Miss Mary q.
Spillane rendered q soprano solo with
fine effecI.
Frank J. Murasky, the lecturer of the
evening, was then introduced and spoke
for some time on Catholicism and So
ciety." He told of the early history of
the world and dweit upon the founding of
the Catholic church, which was a new re-
ligion, having for its doctrine, "Do unto
others as you would have others do unto
you." He spoke of the manner in which
the new religion was carried into every
quarter of the globe and filled it with the
light of a new hope. He then told OF the
work of the church in abolishing slavery,
not, he said, at one tell blow, but by con-
slant preaching and agitation and telling
those who we're In power that they had no
right to hold either the souls or bodies of
men.
He dweit upon the missionary work of
the Catholic church in every direction,
ana said that its missionaries are ready to
attend the call if there is need.
Benevolence as practiced by the Catho-
lie church to-day, he said, was unknown
to the ancient Romans and Greeks. Then
1t was victory over the conquered, with
benevolence or charity, or sympathy, for
the unfortunate; but now, thanks to the
teaching of the church, sympathy goes
out for the oppressed Armenians, for the
Greeks IN their misfortunes, for the Gu
bans In their great struggle, and he added
that in its work of benevolence the
Catholic church is moving onward and
that no power on earth can stop ii in that
work.
He then spoke of the duty of society in
assisting to spread the doctrine OF the
church and make its influence for good
felt on all sides.
The lecturer was warmly applauded,
and after he retired.there was vocal trl
by Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Valerga and
Charles Fl. Parish, and a bass solo by John
A. McAuliffe. The committee of arrange
ments were: P. J. Whalen. E. ID. Sullivan,
P. j. Haggerty, j. c. O'Donnell and J. E.
Gallagher.

THE HAWAIiAK TREATY.
Senator Perkins, wh,ie Mekine Up His
Mind, Seems Inclined TO Vote
for RecIprocHE

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2s.-There
are indications that the tremendous pres
sure brought to bear upon Senator Perkins
may cause him to revise his opinions of
week ago concerning the Hawaiian
treaty. At that time he said tnat
he was in favor of the abrogation
OF the reciprocity treaty because
it did not reciprocate." He pre-.
sented an anay of figures to show
that it was ug-handled in its benefits, but
to-day Senator Perkins said he had not
made up his mind whether to vote for the
ntinuancs OF the treaty or its abrogaticn.
"But was not your position correctly
outlined in THE CALL week ago?"
YES" said Mr.. Perkins, "the article
was correct. Ny own personal conviction
is that the treaty is of advantage to Ha-
waii, without much benefit to the United
States; yet a majority of the people of
California, as expressed by very large
number of memorials and petitions from
Boards of Trade, Cham bers of Commerce
and other commercial bodies in San Fran

Elected Senator After a
Most Remarkable
Conflict.
A True-Biue Republican and
in Accord With the Ad-
miniStratiOn.
Blackburn Vigorously Assails the
Men Who Caused His
Defeat.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 2S-Willihm
]. Deboe was to-day elected Senator to
succeed Senator J. c. Blackburn, after one
of the most famous political battles in the
history of Kentucky. Deboe supported
Hunter in 1896 for Senator. Last Friday
night the friends of Hunter nominated
Deboe in caucus. The fight has been one
in which 112 ballots have been taken,
sixty of which were taken during the pres
ent session.
Hunter was forced off the track by the
exposure of his silver letter and by indict-
ments for ALLEGED attempts to bribe.
Seventeen sound money Democrats bolted
Blackburn and made his election impos-
sible.
1t was a foregone conclusion that Deboe
would be elected to-day. The session was
attended by large crowd of politicians.
Deboe received II votes-69 Republicans
and gold Democrats-one more than suf-
ticient to elect. Deboe himself was a
member OF the Senate. but did not vote.
Deboe said tonight:
~ belong 10 the school of Republicans
after Blaine, Mckinley and Sherman. l
am . protectionist favor the passage OF
the tariff bill and am for sound money. l
am in thorough accord with the Republi-
can administration at Washington"
Depoe is AZ years old and native of
Crittenden County, his present home. He
is a graduate of medicine and has prac-
ticed law successfully for the past nine
years.
Blackburn spoke to his followers at the
opera-house tonight. In speaking of
sound-money Democrats he called them
political nondescripts and caricatures on
nature. "God Almighty. in fair-dealing,
owes the people an apology for making
such men as sound-money Democrats, !"
he said. The sound-money Democrats
arose and left.

sENATOR WHirK's POSITION.
Says He Does Not Want to See the East
Rob the Hest.


Rob the West.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 2S.-Sena-
tor White said 10 THE CALL correspondent
tonight that he considered It gross
discourtesy on the part OF the Finan ce
Committee to even propose to report the
tariff bill to the Senate without first SUBJ
mitting 1t to the minority. Senator White
said that thus far the members of the
minority had not been given even an
linking of its features. He was in the
dark as 10 the tariff on California fruits
and other products, but he had been as
sured by Senator Jones of Nevada that
that gentleman would not vote to report
the bill To the Senate unless it was SUBJ
mitted to the minority for their consid-
Grafton.
The mmittee stands five to five, and
as Senator Jones holds the balance OF
power it is settled that the minority will
be allowed TO consider the bill before it 10
reported.
In explaining his position Mr.. White
said that while he did not consider the
tariff bill revenue measure at all, but q
radical protective bill, to which ne was
opposed on general principles. yet he did
not propose TO see California left out in the
cold.
He did not want to see the East rob the
West of any benefits that any such meas
ure might bestow.

that the inclination of President Nc
Kinley ano Secretary Long points toward
Commodore Henry l.. Howison, who is
well acquainted with the people of Hawaii
and is popular there. Commodore George
Dewey's name may also be considered.

NORTH CUCAMONGA, March H.
Allen Corder had a valuable COW stolen
on Tuesday night. A search was I'M
mediately instituted, which resulted in
tracing the animal to ranch occupied
by Mexican about one and a half miles
east of this place. where it was found
that the COW had been butchered. Two
men were at once arrested and brought
to jail where they confessed having
stolen the cow, but after spending the
night in Jail, concluded to contradict
their former statement. They were ta-
ken to San Bernardino this morning for
trial.
The youngest son of E. E. Swanton.
the editor of The Cucamonga, met with
q painful accident yesterday. having
sprained his wrist while at play. Drs.
Covernton OF Ontario and Lilly of this
place attended the little sufferer and
pronounced the accident though pain
full. to be OF no serious nature.
H. ]. Loomis and wife of Cucamonga
are paying Los Angeles a visit this
week.
The fact that train No. l. due at North
Cucamonga at 11:45, does not stop, Is
causing a great many people to pat
ronize the Southern Pacific. AS this train
has always been very well patronized
al this place, the last change is causing
considerable comment and no little In
convenience.
