and devotion to duty are geneally rec
ognized, but the feeble health of sew
eral justices of the highest of United
States courts has made it extremely
gratifying to many that an opportu-
nifty has come to infuse into the court
the strength and renewed energy
which comes with the appointment of
q new and active justice.
One of the most prominent lawyers
practicing before the supreme court
said not long ago that while the in
evitable retirement of Mr.. Justice Gray
was to be deplored and regretted, it
was a compensating advantage that
new blood would be brought into the
court.
Horace Gray was appointed asso-
ciate justice of the Supreme court by
President Arthur, December 20, 1881,
to succeed Justice Clifford. He was
born in Boston, Mass, March "a, 1928,
his grandfather, William Gray, being
one of the most prosperous shipown-
ers of his day, having had 60 or more
ships at sea at one time. His uncle,
Francis Galley Gray, gave largely to
Harvard college, Gray hall being
named after him. His father, Horace
Gray, was one of the most substantial
business men of Boston. Horace Gray
was educated in Boston and at Har-
ward, and was admitted to the bar in
1851. In 1857 he formed partner
ship with Judge Hoar. In August, 1864,
he was appointed associate justice of
the Massachusetts supreme court, and
in September, 1873, became the chief
Justice. His decisions cover a wide
range of subjects and form the basis
of valuable original references in
law.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes is a
son of the author, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, and has been justice of the
Massachusetts supreme court since
1882. He was born in Boston in 1871,
and was educated at the public schools
and Harvard college and Harvard law
school. Immediately after his grad
uation from Harvard he enlisted in
the Twelfth Massachusetts regiment,
and was wounded at Antietam and
again at Fredericksburg, where he
was mustered out as brevet lieuten-
ant colonel.
He took up the law after the war
and edited the twelfth edition Of
"Kent's Commentaries" and for three
wears was editor of the American Law
Review. He was for time one of the
law faculty at Harvard. He served as
associate justice of the supreme court
until 1899, when he was made chief

NEW JUSTICE NAMED
Oliver Wendell Hclmes to Succeed
Horace Gray.
President Appoints Son Of the Fa-
nous Cambridge Author an As
sociate Member of United
States Supreme Court.

The president has accepted the res
tgnation of Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court Horace Gray, which has
been in his hands for over a month.
AT the same time the president ap-
pointed Oliver Wendell Holmes, chief
justice of the supreme court of Massa-
chusetts, to the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr.. Justice Gray.
Mr.. Justice Gray had Q stroke of
paralysis last January. Since then he
has had another stroke. He is q man
Of great size, with natural tendency
to apoplexy. He has not been on the
bench since he was first stricken, and
his resignation has been expected by
all his friends for several months,
though it has not been known to any
except those who were closest to him
and the president that the request for
the appointment of his successor had
already been made. Justice Gray had
been on the supreme court bench long
er than any other man now there ex-
cept Justice Harlan.
AhS hS" JustiSc, WI. lioiiuSs,A was
not himself an intimate friend of the
president, but he was high In the es-
timation of the circle of Massachu-
setts politicians and statesmen with
whom the president had been most
identified. Senator Lodge and those
who move with him in public affairs
in and about Boston have always been
known to regard Mr.. Holmes as the
leading jurist of his generation.
Mr.. Justice Gray retired on his full
salary, $4,000. Under the law he
might have retired at any time during
the last two years, is he is "A years Of
age. There are three other men on the
supreme bench whose privilege it is
to retire voluntarily on full pay. They
are Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
Harlan and Shiras. The patriotism

courtesy, while economizing his own
time and easing the strain on the
presidents personal attention by
selecting the really important from the
trivial questioning the grain from
the chaff-giving offense to no one,
and sending all away with pleasant
words and smiling faces, requires
endless resources of tact and good
judgment. The secretary is also ex-
pected to keep at his fingers end the
details of al the official business of the
executive office, and the president is
likely to send for him freqently each
day to consult him regarding official
engagements which have been made
by him, to seek information and advise
with him upon some matter under
consideration, or, at a moments no
tlce, to bring papers and data in some
case demanding immediate attention.

the wisdom of this unique proviso
Common supposition is to the effect
that the fee for performing the mar
riage ceremony is dependent entirely
upon the generosity Of the bridegroom,
and it will doubtless, therefore, sur
prise many persons to learn that in
several states the law has a hand in
the matter. In the old dominion, for
instance, there is a statute that pro
vides that the person solemnizing a
marriage is entitled to fee of one dol
lar, and that amy person exacting a
greater fee shall forfeit to the party
aggrieved $50" In West Virginia it is
stipulated that the fee be "at least ono
dollar" and the Idaho law says that
"the fee shall be So, or any other OF
greater sum voluntary given by the
parties to such marriage" In sixteen
states of the union welded couple

The secretary of states duties are
more ceremonious than those of any
other cabinet member. At the New
Year reception he presents the entire
diplomatic corps to the president. He
then returns to his own home and en-
tertains the corps-with its dukes,
marquises, counts, viscounts, barons
and other nobles-at a magnificent
luncheon. With great ceremony he
will from time to time personally in
troduce to the president all new diplo-
mats accredited to this country. He
reserves one forenoon in each week
for the reception at his office of min
listers and charges d'affaires. He also
attends to the correspondence be-
tween the president and the emperors,
kings, sultans and other rulers of for
eign states. When a royal child is
born he frames letter of congratula-
ton to the parent. When a royal per-
sonage dies it is he who dispatches
this nations formal message of condo
lence. A clerk in the state department
copies these polite missives upon large
sheets of gilt-edged paper, in fault
less copperplate hand. A messenger
takes them to the White House for
the presidents signature They are
then returned to the secretary of
state, who seals them with the Great

The position of secretary to the
president of the United States is an
arduous one. In the rendering of it's
multitudinous services it calls for the
business qualifications of methodical
and systematic clerk in the perform
ance of the daily routine of official
work, and the fnesse of a practical
diplomat in meeting and satisfactorily
adjusting situations which naturally
come before him as an intermediary
between the president and an assorted
public. each individual of which be-
lieves himself entitled to a portion of
the time and interest of the chief ex-
ecutive.
The task of handling and answering
the White House mail is in itself no
small one, the president receiving
from 200 to 1900 letters a day. Inn
portant or not, each of these com
munications receives due attention, the
secretary carefully asserting and
classifying them, presenting some to
the personal attention Of the president,
referring others to the department or
person to which each properly be-
longs, while all receive courteous
acknowledgment from the presidents
representative. The secretary is also
required to meet and dispose of the
numerous visitors who call on the
president at times not set aside for his
public receptions, and whose business
ranges all the way from that relative
to the appointment of a supreme court
judge or the governor of a turbulent
territory to the obtaining of the presi-
Dental autograph for a schoolgirls

Gus mass in such a way as to best
serve the ends of both business and
