THE MIDNIGHT JUDGES.


The story of the famous appointments
| made by President Adams the closing day
of his administration. March 8, 1901, the
| appointees being known the midnight
| judges was revived by the reading of two
papers at the meeting last evening of the
Columbia Historical Society. In giving "a
sketch of the office of justice of the peace
| in the District Mr.. Charles S. Bundy said
the first justices Of the peace appointed for
| the District were included in that list. He
stated that from these appointments came
the celebrated case of Marbury against
Madison, which drew from Chief Justice
Marshall a decision which is fundamental
| in its Interpretation of the Constitution.
The author traced in an able way the
changes that had been made in this office
and also in it's powers and duties. He
stated that he had prepared as an appendix
to the paper list of those who have held
this office since the year 1901. The value
and Importance of this contribution to the
records of the society was recognized.
Another of the midnight judges was
Judge William Cranch, who served the re-
markably long term of fifty-four years as
An entertaining and valuable sketch of the
life and traits of Judge Cranch was pre-
sented by Mr.. William F. Carne of Alexan-
dria, who is regarded as authority on the
history of that town. Judge Cranch spent
many years of his long life in Alexandria,
and Mr.. Carne was able to give number
Of instances of the exercise by Judge
Cranch of the ability and wisdom for which
he was noted. The tribute paid to the life
and character Of the great jurist was beau
tifully expressed and was regarded as be-
ing just and discriminating.
Judge Hagner, Judge Barnard, w. F. Mat
tingly, Allen c. Clark and others contrib
uted to the discussion which followed the
reading of the papers. Judge Hagner re-
called the appearance of the Circuit Court

KNOWN AS HUMAN FLY,
Remarkable Feat Performed by Aid

Remarkable Feat Performed by Aid
Fred S. Sutherland. known throughout
the United States and part of Europe as
the human fly, was engaged yesterday
ana today in filing the two copper balls
from the top of the flag staff on the two
saoles on either side of the tower of
the Post Office Department. 1t was found
necessary by the officials to have the cop
per balls removed, owing to the fact that
the fags became fastened to them at times
and when strong breeze was blowing
they were frequently torn.
Mr.. sutherland was selected to perform
the difficult task, and began his perilous
undertaking yesterday. 1t required about
an hour and half to file each ball from
its fastening. While the man was at work,
at an altitude of about 90 feet from the
sidewalk, perestrians paused and gazed in
wonder at the unusual spectacle The
human fly" worked on, unmindful OF the
fact that he was at a height that would
cause most persons to shudder and appar-
entity was as unconcerned as though he
was working terra firma.
Mr.. Sutherland does not depend upon
ropes or scaffold, as do other steeple jacks,
but has device of his own. known as
suction shoes and gloves BY the use of
these articles the climber is enabled to
walk" up the side of a WALL or ascend
pole without the use of spikes, and with
slight difficulty. He erected the flag pole
on the Einel tower in Paris, from which he
foated the American flag. Numberless
spires and steepeleS in this country and in
Europe have been ascended by him
This remarkable climber has beeh in his
present calling for about twenty years, and
previous to that time was sailor in the
Angeles. Cal. but makes his headquarters

WILLIAM BROOKS DEAD.
Coroner Gives Certificate and Body
COnveyed to MOrEue.

William w. Brooks, the elderly man who
was found in an unconscious condition in
an old shanty near the Baltimore and Ohio
depot, Sunday night, and was taken to the
Casualty Hospital as published in yester-
days Star, died. about 1880 o'clock last
night. His body was removed to the
morgue and Coroner hewitt gave a certifi-
cate of death from alcoholism. Capt.
Boardman received a message from a
brother of Brooks at Nashville Tenn, ask
ing about the condition of the man who
was then a patient in the hospital. Today
he was notified of his death, and it is likely
that he will claim the body.
Brooks, the coroner was informed, had
been a heavy drinker for several years. con-
suming as much as quart of whisky dur
ing day. While he did some little work
in his harness and shoe shop he did not
earn living, and boys who loitered about
his place fed him and often gave him small
sums of money. Now that Brooks is dead
it is likely that the little shanty in which
he lived will be torn down.
