CHIEF JUSTICE STREET
Good Things Said About Him by a
 Maryland Paper.

The Montgomery Press, published at Kensington Md. in recent issue pub lshed the following kindly mention of Chief Justice Street:
 Among recent visitors in Kensingron were Judge Webster Street. the chief justice of Arizona, and Mrs. Street. Their home is in Phoenix, the capital of Arizona territory, whsre the ther- mometer registers unusual degrees of heat during the summer months. Al though in an arid region with ample irrigation, Phoenix is a thriving city with many grassy lawns and we'll shaded streets. Electric cars and au- tomObilsS traverse the thoroughfareS and telephones connect the entire ter ritory. which is several times larger than the state of Maryland. About six teen years ago Judge Street was prac- ticing law in Tombstone, then the cen ter of lawlessness in wild and wooly Arizona, with no other title except mister. About this time five cowboys, convicted of murder. were executed up- on one gallows at the same time, in the jail yard which was nearly oppo- site the Street residence in Tomb stone. '"TIhere is no more lawlessness now in Arizona" said the judge. "than in Maryland. The irresponsible cow boy element has disappeared and our territory is filing up with men and women of refinement and with stupen- dous enterprises backed, by unlimited capital. Our resources in gold. silver and copper. in timber and in agricul- ture are wonderful"
 Judge Street has been judge of the Cochise county court in his territory. and about four years ago President Mckinley made him chief justice of the territorial supreme court. He is n nf no r1nfft ftx- and has made an excellent reputation on the bench He expressed himself pleased with kensingnton and thought it a delightful place of residence.

 The S7-year-old Jerseyman who on a wager of $10 cut an acre of rye, with an old-fashioned scythe, in all afternoon, and was prostrated thereby, was certainly old enough to have known better.

A TEAM OF GATORS.

Jefferson Lee, who lives on the St. Johns river, in Putnam county, Fla, has the most extraordinary team in the country. It is a team of allig2torS that MT Lee uses to tow his boat up and down the river when he goes to market.
 MT Lee has to go six miles down the river to his post office, and it is hard pull against the current coming back. He noticed how swiftly alligators sWam, and iteoccurred to him that it might be good thing to turn the alli- gators that abound in the St. Johns river to some account. He captured g pair of young gators and raised them in his yard. He taught them to swim and drag weight behind them, and the right or left by pulling ropes fast ened to their teeth on either side.
 When the alligators were big enough he put a harness that he had construct ed on them and harneSsed them to his boat. They swan well and pulled the boat through the water at good rate of speed. By pulling on the reins that passed through the mouths of tue gators MT Lee was able to turn his strange water team in any direction he pleased.
 Mir Lee made a point of never feed ing his alligators until after they re- turned from a trip, when he would inn mediately reward each one with fine meal. z ,, ~
 The alligators seem to be willing to perform their task. of pulling his boat, and when he turns them out of the pen in which they are stabbed and starts them for the water, they shuf1ie down to theaboat in the liveliest style, and after they are hitched they plunge in.o the water with grunts of delight.
 MT Lee says his strange team has never run away or kicked out the dash board of his river craft, but that they have one fault, for which, however, he does not blame them. They sometimes sweep their powerful tails in curve through the water, and once smashed one of his boats into small bits and threw Mir Lee and party that he was taking boat riding into the river. They would have all been drowned had not the alligators swan back to them and permitted the party to. climb, on their backs, after which the alliga tors swam swiftly to the shore and all of the party were saved. MT Lee now hitches Bupihis team twenty feet in frontsof the boat so that the sweep of their tails will not endanger the craft.
 MT Lees success has created great interest among all of his neighbors, and now many alligators are being trained for duty as sea horses.-Chi- cago Tribune.

Banker Clews in his weekly letter says that reaction from theirecent un- precedented rise in the prices of secu- rities was to be expected. With such an extraordinary increase in the earn ing power of the railroads, such a mar velous run of national prosperity, and such an understandable buoyancy in every business interest-to say nothing of the excitement developed by the great corporate deals-it is not at all remarkable that the market value of railroad investments should have risen to such unparalleled figures as we have lately seen. That tendency having ex- hausted its force. It is not a matter of surprise that a sharp reaction has set in from the upward impulse. For, not a few of the large buyers on the rise bought less because they were convinc- ed that the new level of values would prove permanent than because they be- lieved that the new infating condi- tions would produce a temporary un- equalled enhancement in quotations. Their experience under all sorts of con- ditions of speculation had taught them that maximum values never prove per- manent; and that, when the top has been reached, an impulse of reaction must have it's sway. which may as easily as not carry values as much be low the normal as they had previous ly been forced above it. That is fix ed law in the operations of the stock exchange, which must always sooner or later assert its sway, and some times in disregard of conditions that IegitimateIy determine the value of in- yestments. The course of the stock market during the last two weeks has been a marked verifcation of this prin- ciple. The turn in the drift has been impelled principally by three very real and substantial causes, all of which have been sudden and unexpected; q) the injury to the crops; @ the great strike of the employees of the Steel cor poration: and t3) the uncertainty of a money market which may possibly be subjected to unusually heavy and urgent demands for movement of the erona-

oRAToRY OF RUFUS cHoATE.

heard Rufus Choate great many times. I heard nearly all the speeches given in Browns Life" and I heard him a great many times at the bar, both before juries and the full court. Het is the only advocate I ever heard who had the imperial power which would subdue an unwilling and hos tile jury. His power over them seemed like the fascination of a bird by snake.
 Choate's method was pure ipersua- sion. He never appealed to base mo- tives. nor tried to awake coarse pre- judices or stormy passions. He in . dulged, in no invectiye! His wit and sarcasm and ridicule amused the victim almost as much as it amused the bystanders. He had the suavil- oquentia which Cicero attributes to Cornelius. There was never a harsh note in his speech.
 He had voice without any gruff or any shrill tones. It was like a sweet yet powerful flute. He never strained or seemed to exert it to it's fullest capacity. I do not know any other public speaker whose style re- sembled his in the least. Perhaps Jeremy Taylor was his model, if he had any model. The phraseology with which he clothed some common place or mean thought or fact, when he was compelled to use commonplace arguments, or to tell some common story, kept his auditors ever alert and expectant. An Irishman who had Killed his wife threw away the axe with which Choate claimed the deed was done, when he heard somebody coming. This, in Choate's language, was ''the sudden and frantic ejacula ton of the axe.,' Indeed, his speech was perpetual surprise. Whether you liked him or disliked him, you gave him your ears, erect and intent. He used manuscript a great deal, even ir speaking to juries. When the trial was on, lasting days or weeks, he kept pen ink and paper at hand in his bedroom and would often get up in the middle of the night to write down thoughts that came to him as he lay in bed. He was always careful to keep warm. Ii was said he prepared for great jury argument by taking off eight great coats and drinking eight cups of greer tea.- Senator George +. Hoar in Scrib ner's Magazine.

Hero,s n queer How-to-no.

Georgia has just passed a law to this effect: "If a woman fails to manage the house according to the husbands ideas. he is justified in in- sisting that his ideas be carried out" It is solemnly made his prerogative ito determine what servants shall do and not do, the hours at which meals must be served and the menu at each meal" The man that under takes to act upon that law will have more experience to the square inch than he ever had before. It were better that a millstone were hanged around his neck and he were drowned in the deplns of the sea.

Treasury officials are considerably puzzled about how the internal revenue taxes are to be collected on Porto Rican products shipped to the United States. No internal revenue taxes are paid in Porto Rico, as it will require an act of congress to extend the inter nal revenue laws to that island. Under the Foraker act complete record or all the goods shipped to the United States was kept in the Porto Rlcan custom houses, but now that there IS free trade no such record will be made, States just as they are sent from one state to another. The commissioner of internal revenue is now wrestling with this problem, and he says he will find a way to make sure of collecting the internal revenue taxes on such Porto Rivan goods as come to us and are taxable. By the way, speaking or taxation, until congress acts Porto Rico will not contribute one cent in taxes for the support of the United States government. The revenue laws of the island now in force provide q tax on real estate and personal prop erty, an excise tax, and customs du- ties on certain goods from foreign countries, and that every cent so col lected shall go into the Porto Rican treasury for the exclusive use and ben- eft of the island. Thus, as the matter now stands. the Porto Rican is more favored in the matter of federal taxa ton than is the citizen of any state or territory in the Union.

 The cleaning of the frescoes at Westminster abbey has called atten- tion to the fact that in the picture of the pilgrim fathers there the good ship Mayfiower is flying the union flag that first came into existence in 1900, says g London newspaper. This an- achronism Is not uncommon in naval pictures. In the collection of ell paint ings of sea fights at the British Royal United Service institution there are many pictures of battles fought be- fore 1900 in which the British -hips fly the uhion flag of to-day. The explana- ten of this anticipation of history is that sona yeprs ago, when the older pictures were cleaned and restored, the restorsr corrected" the flags by painting h St. Patrlok's red cross over the white St. Andraw's cross of Scot land.-London Mail.

And now the general public, which has no partisanship for either man or prejudice for or against his accom- plishments, is likely to get what it has. long asked for in vain, the unques-' toned facts about the Sampson-Schley. controversy, which has been periodi-i cally renewed with tiresome regularity and an intending list of charges and counter-charges. Rear Admiral Schley has asked Secretary Long to order court of inquiry into his conduct dur ing the West Indian naval campaign, and Secretary Long promises that the court shall be composed of officers whose names will inspire public conh- dence in their report. A court of in- qufry does not usually express an opin- ion, it merely reports facts as aseer- tained by sworn eyidenSe, Sbutrite does when the order converting it SO 1n- structs; and this would seem to be a case in which such instructions should be given, as there has been no case involving the honor and good name or two officers of such exalted rank in the history of the navy. Therefore it is the general hope that the court will be instructed to render an opinion that will either exonerate or condemn, and that it shall be based upon absolute facts, not prejudice. Surely the pub lie. which has been more or less dis gusted for more than two years with this controversy, has right to de mand that much. It is thought that Admiral Dewey will be president of the court of inquiry.

The happiest time in prose or rhyme. Fair time that none surpasses; Was when, with grins and sticky chins. We lunched on bread and 'lasses. The loveliest woman, we e'er knew.
 Her blue eyes framed in glasses, Was Grandma Jones, LOT bless her bones She fed us bread and 'lasses. Our youth has fled, manhood insteads
 Experience amasses; And finds that life Is not all rife
 With placid bread and 'Iasses. -. L. Jones. In Harlem Life.
