he suffered a stroKe of apoplexy,
which some time later was followed
by another He has not appeared on
the bench since he was stricken the
first time. His advanced age-I4
years-told against his recovery with
serious force. Realizing that he
probably never would be able again TO
assume the place which he so long had
filled with distinguished ability and
honor, he decided short time ago TO
tender his resignation to the President.
With the exception OF Mr.. Justice

the United States Supreme Court lon

Massachusetts Supreme Court, has at
rracted wide attention.
Like Justice Gray, he is son OF
Massachusetts. He is son and
namesake of the late DR.. Holmes, poet

SERMON WITH THE BARK ON.
Rev. Frank TyrreII, OF st. Louis,
Flags the House of Delegates
Combine From the Pulpit.

st. Louis, Aug. 12.-Rev. Frank Tyr
rell, in the Mount Cabanne Christian
church, Sunday, with "Moral Pungen-
cy" for his theme, said
"The combine in the house OF del
egates is a case in point. l would say
those fellows ar mulish If la didn't
have too much respect for mule.
There they are, gang of lewd fell
lows, elected doubtless by fraud; delv-
ing and dealing in fraud; advertising
their own asinity, a constituencies,
scurrilous gang of grog-shoP keepers
and plug-uglics, hypocrites, sand-bag-
gers, leeches, vampires.
eve hate vermin, even on dog;
much more human vermin on the
body polite. But the combine ex-
lists by the grace of the citizens OF
st. Louis; not those who in steadfast
loyalty to the city of their home bear
a brave part in the battle against
boodlery and deviltry, but of those
recalcitrants and towards, who true
to the habits of lifetime shirked
their duty and proved infidel to their
trust.
"What is the matter with the house
of delegates? 1t needs salt. 1t will not
suffice to talk of the Jail and the glib
bet for those stupid whelps; they are
the simple result of Indifference and
neglect. 1t is not the victory of the
slums; it is the surrender of tie
schools. It is not the vicious are
brave, but that the good are in1idei
and cowardly.
"Only when every Christian man is
full of moral pungency will hearts
be pure, our homes safe and our IN
situations thrifty"

THE REMINISCENT MAN.

What would we do for things to read about
our public men?
How could we learn their bOyhood traits
and how they acted then?
How could we know their whlms and fads
and other little things
About them, were it not for what certain
person brings?
All hall the chap who fills that gap in wise
Dame Natures plan,
The one who's always In our view-the
Reminiscent Man.
He tells US Of our Presidents, and what
they did and said
Or what they didn't do or say, as we have
often read;
He cites remarks OF heroes bold, long ere
they burst 10 fame,
Which plainly show they were designed to
bear an honored name;
He knows the pages Of the past-no other
person can
Dig up as many facts as does the Reminis-
cent Man.
Sometimes he is the man who's styled the
Old lnhabitant,
And he can tell when Col. Bluff went out
and laid hant;
And then again, he is the man who battled
side by side
With Mai Blood, and now he tells about
II with much pride;
Or else he had a jury seat when Lawyer
Chugg was young
All this the Reminiscent Man has ever on
his tongue.
Perhaps he used to fish along with Mr.. Of
ficeseek,
And when that mans candidate he tells
II by the week.
He holds the wise reporter up and fills him
full of tales
The news may stop, but, after all, the R. NJ.
never fails.
Somebody ought to write book about the
talky clan
The bunch OF people who make up the Rem
iniscent Man.
