Chief Justice Fuller.
(From the New York sunl

NfloHi the NtW loIN SUM-
Chief Justice Melville Weston Fuller has an
interesting personality. Said a member of his
family, in speaking OF him recently:
The Chief Justice smokes the same priced
cigars and the number of them every DAY
he did when briehcss bsrris;er. He Is ex-
ceedingly economical in his personal expcudi-
lures, lie dslikes to buy new clothes His
friends say he does not eat enough TO keep a
child alive. His daily fare is a cup OF coffee for
breakfast, a glass Of milk and two or three raw
oysters for lunch and a simple dinner, prefer
ably in the New England style He is very fond
OF boiled cod and pumpkin pie. lie never
walks. He does not care for cards In fact.
books are his only passion. He reads every
thing, from philosophy and biographical works.
to the most sensational detective stories lie
goes to bed early, sometimes by o'clock and
reads"
The Chief Justice has two pets of which he is
exceedingly fond They are Bonito. the green
Mexican parrot, and Donald. a Scotch collie.
Bonito had i predecessor, like himself the gift
OF Romero, the Mexican Minister. One year
the Chief Justice insisted taking him to his
summer home at Sorrento. and there Bonito
took cold on the pier. The Chief Justice pro
nounced at catIrrh, and dosed him with boneset.
pepper corus and hot whisky. But Bonito died.
While Mrs. Fuller. who does not care for pets,
was out walking the Chief Justice took the body
OF Bonito and buried it in the only place he
said. where there was earth enough-the centre
of Mrs. Fulers geranium bed. lie decorated
the grave artistically with pebbles and shells
and there it remains for whOmsoever the Chief
Justice can induce to pay respects to it.
Mr.. Romero hearing OF the loss sent another
Bonito. This calls the Chief Justice Papa, &"
and shows the keenest delight when he comes
home. He always expects goodby when the
Justice goes out. and always receives it, The
household is instructed to keep on hand sup
ply OF the very best grapes to he had. as Bonito
is fond of them. The Chief Justice has taught
Bonito to remember the Sabbath Day by always
giving him a hard boiled egg on Sunday
Donald. the collie, the gift of a Chicago
friend. He is not allowed indoors except for a
daily visit to his masters study. This he never
fails to make. and it is of the most welcome
incidents Of the great mans busy day.

A Hessian nt Seventy.

They gave a dinner to Carl Schurz in
New York last Thursday night, in honor
Of his seventeen birthday. Governor
Roosevelt and some other prominent peo-
pie who were invited failed to attend. and
the occasion, while peaceful and harno-
nious. lacked that interest which comes
from the presence of many representative
men. Consequently, the originators of the
scheme feel a little as children do when
there is picnic in hand and rain com
pels them 10 hold the festivities indoors.
Mr.. Schurz has throughout his long life
been circulating from one party to an
other. wherever he thought he could do
the most good, and the result of it seems
10 be that he is at present outside OF all
parties. and glad of it. At any rate, he
has spent most of his time of late in rail-
ing against the policy endorsed by prac-
ticaliy the whole American people, as
well as the logic of events. AS a rhymster
in the New York Sun" expressed It the
other day, he seems to have sworn by all
the nine gods that the land which has
annexed him shall annex nothing more
This eminent German American has had
experience in annexation. He has an
nexed himself to almost everything under
the sun at one time or another, and dis
annexed himself as soon as he saw fit.
Now. his trouble seems to be that there
is nothing within his range of vision to
which he can conveniently tie his wagon.

SUNDAY. MARCH 5, 1899.
A Conspiracy squeIchcd.

The public may not appreciate the full
meaning OF the Senate's action yesterday
morning when it confirmed the whole ga
zette of naval nominations, including
those of Commodores Schley and Sampson
bered that, for the purpose of degrading
the victor of the sea battle of Santiago
and placing favorite but nationally dis
credited officer over his head, it was some
time ago proposed to advance Sampson
eight numbers, and Schley only six. there
by making the latter junior to the former
by two numbers in the list of rear ad-
mirals. The President was entitled to
make this proposition to the Senate. on
account of distinguished gallantry on the
part of the nominees. But it was not
accepted kindly. in view OF the fact that
anything but gallantry adhered to the war
record Of one OF the persons sought to be
honored.
Fortunately for the good of the service,
and in saving Mr.. Mckinley from pain
ful embarrassment, the Naval Personnel
bill was. meantime, passed by Congress.
1t provided for eighteen rear admirals
in all, abolishing the rank of commo-
dore. BY its enactment this law made all
the commodores, including Schley and
Sampson, rear admirals, but it did some
thing more. 1t divided the rear admiraIs,
according to seniority, into two classes,
the first to rank with major generals of
the army, the second to rank with briga-
dier generals. BY reason of their places
on the navy list Admiral Schley is ga
zetted to the first, and Admiral Sampson
to the second.
The professional net result of this situa-
tion will be interesting. Every flag officer
flies a blue ensign, except that when in the
presence of senior of like rank he must
haul it down and raise a red one. If two
seniors happen TO be in sight he must dis
play white one. Supposing, therefore,
that the squadron OF Junior Rear Admiral
Sampson should be anchored in the same
hsrbor with the feet of Senior Rear Ad-
miral Schley, The former would be COM
PEELED to haul down his flag of command
hoist that OF subordination, and place him
self absolutely at the orders Of his superior
II he wanted to turn his ship around he
would have to signal for permission. II
he wanted to send boat ashore ii could
only be done by the grace Of schley, and
unless he wished to subject himself to the
court-martial he ought to be facing today
Sampson would find it obligatory to wig
wsg'' TO Schley's flagship before daring to
splice his mainbrace. which is an evolu-
tion amiably necessary in all services
every time the sun is over the foretop, OF
when the bell rings.
We can easily imagine the rage and
modification of the Sampsonian mind or
being forced thus to kotow TO the naval
commander so recently presumed to be q
victim OF injustice and departmental out
rage at his behest- Time has its revenges
and they are especially severe when Z
whole nation observes them with grinninG
delight
