sent back to Virginia to take charge
of any additional troops which might
be raised by that commonwealth, and
there he took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to attend the law lectures at

London, Jan. 26.-An extraordinary
issue of the Gazette publishes an order
in council that it is expected that all
persons, upon the present occasion, the
death of her late majesty of blessed and
glorious memory, viii put themselves
in deepest mourning"
The fact that the court goes into
mourning for a year and the fact that
the public, are enjoined to go into the
deepest mourning lead to the sup
position that the coronation viii not

John Marshall, the fourth Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
states, the centennial of whose ap-
pointment was this week celebrated all
over the country, was born in Virginia
IN 1855. His family was one of the
oldest in the colonies, his gradfather
having settled in Virginia in 1850. His
mother was Mary Isham Keith, a HneaI
descendant of Robert Keith, who was
grand marshal of the Scottish army
under Bruce. His father, Thomas Mar
shall, was a Virginia planter and
man who was noted for his rigid up
rightness and his frankness in speech
When young John Marshall was years
after, candidate for the Virginia leg
1siature from Fauqquier county, only
one vote was cast against him. When
the elder Marshall heard of this one
vote in opposition he declared that the
man who cast it could only have been
actuated by spite and malice and must
be punished" Forthwith he set out to
find the name of the single voter and
the next time he met him gave him a
sound thrashing

Elected 70 Congress-
Marshall returned to United States
in August, 1898, and Adams at once
offered him a seat on the Supreme
Bench, which he declined to accept. In
1899 he was, much against his own
wishes, elected to congress, in which
body he served a single term During
this term he delivered speech which
is still regarded as of the most
authoritative expositions of interna-
tiona1 law in its bearing on the extra
dition of citizens of foreign country
Before his term in Congress had ex-
pired he was made secretary of state
in the cabinet of President Adams, and

For thirty-fiye years he served as

said, his best and most enduring mon

of reports of his decisions and of those
of the supreme court while he was al
its head. In 1929 he, with Madison and
Monroe, served as a delegate to the
convention for revising the state con

FINE ENTERTAINMENT.
The Junior Epvvortb League PICas a
Large Audience,

The stereopticon picture entertain
meut given by the Junior League Of
Genital NJ. Z church last night was
grand success. Tho church and
S Inday school room were filed to
over flowing and both balconies were
crowded. Everyone came prepared
to enjoy the evening to the utmost
and the entertainment was fully up
to expectation.
The program consisted Of two parts,
the first b7ing made up of songs and
recitations by the various members
of the league with accompanying
views on the canvass. One number
which was especially appreciated was
the Jack o Lantern drill by class No
%. The little girls were dressed in
shee and carried Japanese lanterns
and their ghost song produced quite
creepy affect. Following this were
two more recitations after which
came song by the boys of class No
y, entitled the Kloudike Expedi-
ton" The same words were sung
over and over, the last word being
dropped each time until only one re-
NAMED, This number received a
storm of applause which was res
pOndsd to with an encore which
brought down the house.
In the intermission several views
showing local scenes about the city
were displayed, after which slides
giving McKinley's life and assassina-
ton were shown
The entertainment closed with the
singing of Lead Kindly Light"
The Sunday school orchestra Of
fifteen pieCzs was present and
furnished excellent music throughout
the evening.
The entertainment was a success
in every way and the program showed
remarkable skill and originality as
we'll as great deal of practice. There
was not break in the whole per-
Torrance and the league is to be con-
graduated on its unusual success.
The stereopticon views were dis
played by F. j. Page o. this city and
are among the best ever shown
here. The league has certainly won
a mama for itself and will also have
quite a nice little sum to put in the
treasury.
