JUGGLING
With the judgeship.
President Offers 1t to
Several Lawyers,
Who Cannot Afford to
Accept Honor.
At Proper Time 1t Will be
rendered
To Judge Carlos N. Stone or Judge
Francis Wing Of Cleveland.

A special to the Cleveland Plain
Dealer from Franklin Hall, the Wash
ington correspondent, confirms the
story printed in the Democrat several
days ago in which 1t was stated that
the President would eventually offer
the appointment to. the Federal Bench
to Judge Carlos Nj. Stone Of Cleveland
as a reward for sacrificing himself
in the fight to defeat Mayor McKlsson
for denomination.
The Washington dispatch follows:
The most reliable information that
could be secured at the White House
today regarding the additional United
States judgeship for the Cleveland din-
trict was that Judge John II. Doyle, to
whom the place was rendered, has de-
clined and that now there is no certain
ty that the appointment will 60 to a
Toledo man.
In these dispatches two or three
days ago it was intimated that if the
appointment was rendered to Judge
Doyle of Toledo it was with the ex.
pectation that he would decline. 1t is
very evident that President Mckinley
knew this when he offered the place to
him. The amount Of mystery that sur
rounds the judgship is astonishing. Ev-
en- those Congressman representing
northern Ohio districts are not consult
ed regarding the fitness of candidates,
nor are they even confided In when the
place Is rendered 1t is generally be-
lieved that President Mckinley Is Jug
Cling with the place. In other words,
that he Is simply recognizing a few
friends to whom he feels himself in
debted, but whom he knows will not
accept the judgeship because they can
not afford to give up lucrative law
practice In some cases worth nearly
$4,000 a year for the small salary Of
$1,000, which Is the compensation for
district judges. 1t is limited that the
President has all along had In mind
a Cleveland man, whom he believes
will accept the place. but that he Is
simply peddling the job around in or.
der to honor a few of his friends.
II rumor is to be believed either
Judge Carlos Nj. Stone or Judge Fran
els Wing of Cleveland will eventually
be offered the place. At any rate the
President hinted this very broadly to
O caller at the White House today.
The presidents secretary and his ac-
tons in offering the place to so many
lawyers whom he was Informed in ad-
vance could not accept the place. Is
causing not little comment and 1t is
very adverse in its tone. 1t is pointed
out that the judgeship is a high ju-
dicial honor and that the recipient at
once becomes prominent In his profess
sion with every possibility of making
q widely known name as great jurist
1t is pointed out also that by peddling
the job around the President is lower
ing the dignity Of the position and de-
tracing from the honor which ought
to go with the tender to the man who
accepts.

swamped by this, and the miserable
cattle were either drowned in their
stalls or washed out of her. There
was no need for the three to jump
They just let go their hold, and the
next incoming wave swept them clear
of the steamers spar deck and spurned
them 100 yards from her side.
They found themselves among

some swimming frenziedly, and with
the inspiration of the moment laid hold
of couple of beasts and so supported
themselves without further exertion.
1t was no use swimming for the pres
emit They could not tell which way
the shore lay. And it behooved them to
reserve all their energies for the morn
ing, so well as the numbing cold and
the water would let them.
OF sudden the below of the steam
er's siren ceased. and a pang went
through them as though they had lost
friend. Then came a dull, muffled
explosion, and then a huge, ragged
shape doomed up through the night
like some vast monument and sank
swiftly straight downward out of sight
beneath the black, tumbled sea.

in. The water was cold, but the air
was piercing. and so they kept their
bodies submerged, each holding on to
the bovine raft and each man sparing
a few fingers to keep grip on the girl.

to stop.

The neat Incoming acauc swept them clear
One of the beasts they clung to quickly
drowned; the other, strange to say,
kept its nostrils above water, swim
ming strongly, and in the end came
alive to the shore, the only four footed
occupant of the steamer to be saved.
AT the end of each minute it seemed
to them that they were too bruised and
numbed to hang on another 60 seconds,
and yet the next minute found them
still alive and dreading it's successor.
The sea moaned around them, mourn
Ing the dead: the fleet of drowned cat
tie surged helplessly this way and that,
bruising them with rude collisions. and
the chill bit them to the bone, merci-
fully numbing their pain and anxiety.
Long before the dawn the girl bad
sunk into a stupor and was only held
from sinking by the nervous fingers of
the men, and then the men themselves
were merely automata, completing
their task with legacy Of will.
When from somewhere out of the
morning mists fsherboat sailed I'D.

three were hauled over the gunwale in
one continuous dripping string. The
grip OF the mems fingers had endured
TOO long to be loosened for a sudden
call such as that.

WIFI all the care poor homes could
give. and the men, used to hardshins
recovered with a dose Of warmth and
sleep.
MISS Carnegie took longer to recover
and In fact for week lay very near I'm

making almost hourly INQUIRIES for
her. He ought to have gone away to
seek fresh employment; he ought to
have gone back to his wife and chm
uren' ana ne upbraided himself bitterly
Tor his neglect of these duties. At last
the girl was able to sit up and see him
and he visited her. showing all tbe
difference an ambassador might offer
to queen.
She listened to his tale of the wreck
with interest and surprise. She was
almost startled to hear that others. in

mates, were saved from the disaster
besides themselves, but at the same
Time unfeignedly pleased. And she
