for.
BY making the resignation take effect

tice will be vacant on Tuesday MORN
Ing, when the May session of the Gen.
eral Assembly opens in Newport, and,
on that day Hon. John III. Stiness will
be elected chief justice as the successor
of Judge Matteson. On the following
day, Wednesday, the vacancy on the
Supreme bench will be filled by the
General Assembly. and IL is safe 70 say
that Representative John T. Blodgett,
OF this city, will be the choice Of the
Legislature for the position
Chief Justice Matteson said today, af-
ter his intended resignation had been
ibulletined at the newspaper offices that
the only plans he had made for the

that he will spend a year abroad

Justice did not come as a surprise. there
was a general expression of regret on
the part of the members OF the bar that
Judge Matteson's long and splendid ca
reer on the bench was about to end.
