HOW COOLEY WORKED.
Former Chief Justice of Michigan
Tells of His Famous Colleague.

FORMER Chief Justice of Michigan
Tells of His Famous Colleague.
Judge John w. McGrath, who retired
from the Chief Justiceship of the
Michigan Supreme Court at the close
Of 1895, was seen by a correspondent
and asked as to his belief in the cause
Of the physical and mental breakdown
of ex,Justice Thomas Nj. Cooley, who
IS now in a private retreat at Flint.
He was also asked if, in his opinion,
jurists were particularly prone to col
lapse of that description.
Judge McGrath is a big man. His
figure of more than six feet is as erect
as in his young manhood, but snowy
white hair and beard tell the work OF
Father Time. He is strong and vigor-
Gus himself, and while laughingly de-
claring that his work had left him
without scar, said:
Poor Cooley; he is victim of his
own tremendous energy, without the
physical strength to bear up undHr 1t.
AS matter Of fact l doubt If any
man could have stood it. While his
work on the bench had something to do
was and always will be most arduous
work, his labors off the bench were
alone more than most men care to un-
dertake.
His works on constitutional law ON
torts, his many magazine articles and
the preparation Of 'Cooley's Black
stone were all completed while he was
q n6 on ho a
pletely filed most mems time.
Il believe he worked eighteen hours
a day. l know that while on the bench
he not only was the first one to arise in
his own home so as to work before
breakfast, but that his work table was
placed in his sitting-room so that he
could continue the grind evenings, and
at the same time partially enjoy the
company Of his family and friends.
He would turn sometimes to join In
their conversation, only to bury him
self moment later in his writing.
"While I believe the life span Of
jurists is probably as long as is that
of any other profession similarly de-
prived Of exercise and fresh air, l do
think that for many years there has
not been an occupant Of the Michigan
bench who has retired without the
work having left its mark. This is ow-
ing largely to the fact that they have
strained every nerve to keep their
docket clear.
This example was set by that great
four, Cooley, Chrstiancy, Campbell
and Graves. Christiancy and Campbell
are dead, and Cooley's mind has failed.
but Graves is a hale and hearty old
gentleman living in Detroit. In Ohio
and many other States the business of
the State bench is behind two, three
or more years, while here every case Is
heard when ready, no matter how great
the strain, and opinions are also rush
ed out on the same schedule,
'.As to Judge Cooley, / never knew a
man Of such intense mental activity,
and his breakdown came solely as the
result of overwork, He was always
man Of spotless reputation and most
correct habits, and no other cause can
possibly be assigned. His work on the
Interstate Commerce Commission, his
last sustained effort, was, In my opiD-
ion, simply the last wrench"

There is no great loss without some
gain. The depression of the past year
has been accompanied by a noteworthy
diminution of immigration from the
Old World. The completed returns of
the arrival of immigrants. in the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1897, show that
one hundred and eighty thousand, in
round numbers, landed in America
This was smaller number than In any
previous year since 1879. The num-
Der was less by one hundred and sixty
two thousand than in the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1896, and nearly a hun
dred thousand less than in 1895. which
was reckOned year of small immigra-
ton. AS compared with the immigra-
ton for 1892, which was more than six
hundred and twenty-three thousand,
the figures for last. year are indeed
small They represent, however,
large mass in the aggregate; and the
fact that among them there were about
thirty eight thousand, not including
young children, who could neither read
nor write, shows that the immigration
was larger than it should have been by
at least that figure. Until such litter
ate immigrants are definitely excluded,
our immigration laws will certainly be
in a defective state. The total amount
of money brought into the country by
immigrants, presumably to be expend-
ed here, is commonly spoken of as con-
tuting a new element of wealth for the
country. The immigrants of 1897
brought with them a total amount a
trif1e in excess of six hundred and sew
enty thousand dollars. This is a re-
spectacle sum, but as it amounts to
less than four dollars to each immi-
grant, it will be seen that the line
which separates them as a whole from
destitution on their arrival is very mar
row. Moreover, it is highly probable
that more money was sent out Of the
country, earned here, to bring these
immigrants, than they brought with
them, in which case the balance of the
account is on the wrong side of our
ledger after ALL

Atlanta Journal: The city boy grows
up in a contracted space. The square
upon which he lives is his world, the
little things of earth he despises, and
he begins to burn the candle of exist
ence too soon. For him there is little
opportunity for the display of sterling
manhood or the enjoyment of life in it's
relation to nature. The country boy is,
from the first, child of necessity, and
early learns the lesson of how to make
ends meet. The ways and means of life
Is a hard and effective school from
which to graduate. The pupils therein
cannot sit down with folded hands anG
wait for help, but they must help them
selves, and at once. The broad fields
give scope to the mind and strength to
the heart-the country boy is man at
10, though he does not know it, and at
20 be stands young giant, while mis-
city cousin is the dyspeptic victim ef
vile cigarettes and bad hours.

Kaiser Wilhelm's plan of making war
In a Pullman palace car looks a little
like an attempt to revive the methods
of the ancient Greeks at the siege of
Troy. The wooden horse worked beau

to capture the track upon which his car

Fishermen ofst. Pierre and Mioue,o

Near the west coast of Newfoundland
are the islands of st. Pierre and Mique-
Ion. They are the last relics of the once
great possessions of France in North
America. They have a French governor
and a uniformed French police Many
French fishermen make their headquar-
tiers on these islands. These Frenchmen
sail their travis" Their fishing YES
sells are much larger than ours, and III
clude even barks. Instead of dories
they carry sail boats. The vessel comes
to anchor, and near her each boat drops
it's first trawl-keg overheard. Then one
boat will set a zigZag trawl by tacking
against the wind, another will run a
straight-away course, so that the
travis, while all cOnverging toward the
vessel, do not interfere with one an
other. Then, too, the fishermen can in
foggy weather get back to the vessel
by simply undermining their travis.
Our fishermen set theirs where they
think they will hook the most fish, and
the vessel, instead of coming to anchor,
cruises about where she put the dories
over.-St. Nicholas.
