JUDGE MACKEYS STORY.

A good story is being todd Of Judge
Thomas Jefferson Mackey one time of
South Carolina, a character we'll
known to every one in Washington
and who originates many good stories.
While talking with group of friends
the other night after President Roose.
velt named his representative to at
tend the coronation of King Edward,
Judge Mackey blurted out:
president Roosevelt has blundered,
blundered grievously in uaming such
q man to 60 over and see Edward
handed crown"
"And wherein lies the blunder,
Judge?" an innocent and tnsuspecting
bystander made inquiry.
"Blunder? Wherein lies the blum
der?" exclaimed Judge Mackey with
that fervor that has made him ia
nous. Why, man, have you no eyes
wherewith to see, no ears wherewith
to hear, no sense of the eternal fitness
of things? Don't you see he has Sc
lected Clark-Clark, Of she Oregon
to represent the navy. The same
Clark that brought the Oregon around
from Frisco, while the nation held it's
breath, and arrived off Santiago all fit
and eager for fight, just in time to
help Schley defeat the Sraniards?
"Send Clark to the coronation!
Why, OF what could t;le President
have been thinking? Clark, indeed!
Sampson is the man WIN, should have
gone"
"And why Sampson" demanded
the bystander, who evidently was
wicked partisan of Schley.
"Why, don't you see.r the Judge
elucidated, "the country is rent in
twain over this questions OF corona
ton embassy? Those ef pro-British
tendencies insist that we shall be
there with gold and glitter and much
circumstance, while Others of an ul-
tra.re publican way OF thinking declare
it would be unseemly fsr this land OF
glorious liberty to bow at the royal
feet of Edward. Now, had Sampson
beer selected both parties would have
been pacified."
The Judges proposition seemed
more than the bystander could assim-
ilate. "You'll have to show me the
point, Judge" he said in despair.
"That's easy, my boy, that's easy.
The selection of Sampson would sat
isfy the Anglomaniacs, wouldn't it?"
"Yes,"
And Sampson, of course, would ar.
rive after the coronation, and that
ought to satisfy the ether fellows,
hadn't it?"

1t is held by Methodists that the
real victory for the admission of wo-
men as delegates into the Quadrennial
General Conference was won in Chi
cago year ago last May, when the
new constitution was passed in form
to be submitted to the annual confer.
ences. containing the clause making
women admissible. This constitution
has now been adopted by l6S more
than the requisite three. e.fourths vote,
q result due in no small degree to the
TACT that there were other provisions
in the instrument that helped much
to carry the woman clause. The Ger.
man conferences, and indeed all the
foreign.tongued ones, both at home
and abroad, voted against the admis.
sion of women. For example Ger
mans OF st. Louis stood SO to 2 against,
aud Chicago 73 to 3 against. Only
four English conferences gave positive
majorities against. These were New
ark, New York East. Troy aud Wash.
ington. The New York conference is
that to which the Rev. Er. Buckley
belongs. He is by long odds the big.
gest man in Methodism North, and he
has fought the admission of women
strenuously from the very beginning.
or for II years. Now that the fight is
won, it is said the privilege is not like.
ly to be taken advantage of to a large
extent. All that remains is action by
the Board Of Bishops. confirming the
votes q si's annSal conferences. This
action will be taken a. the meeting OF
the board next Nav.

MICHIGAN UNIQUE TOWN.
Everybody Has Home and Eats the Same
Kind Of Meat at Constantine.

Constantine, Mich, is one of the
queerest towns in the country. 1t has
a population of 5000. A rented
house is so rare as to be conspicuous.
Nearly everybody owns his home.
At noon the merchants lock their
doors and 60 to dinner. The men
folks on their way to business in the
morning stop at the market and leave
an order for meat for the noon meal.
They do not say how much, for the
butcher has come TO know the amount
each customer wants.
The order is simply for meat The
butcher seldom has more than one
kind at time. Thus it happens that
on some days the whole town eats
ham, on Others mutton or steak. Few
canned goods are sold in the town
and everybody has garden.
Several years ago when factory
was established there it put in an elec.
trio plant. The Town Board arranged
for lighting the streets from this
power, and there 10 one incandescent t
light in the middle of each block.
This is the only public improvement
the town has had for years. The peo-
pie have money and are a contented
lot. When they want anything extra
for their table they send to Detroit for
it, or 60 there and stay few days.
Sometimes they 60 to Chicago. The
people as whole are intelligent and
hospitable. When a travelling man
goes to Constantine for orders he is
usually the guest OF a merchant. One
OF this class was there for . week not
long ago. and it is from him that the
foregoing information was obtained.
All things considered, he prefers Con.
stantine to some of the larger towns
on his route, and he is authority for
the statement that there isn't another
town in the country like Constantine.

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING" FEB Z 1902

The discharge of the first Judge at
the expiration OF his term OF Office had
given the St. Clair people an idea.
They would elect men who were will
ing to 60 to Jail to save the county
from bankruptcy. 1t meant a two
years residence behind the bars, but
this kind of Imprisonment is consid-
cred an honor, and the salary is paid
in full. In a community of $4,000
people, it is easy to find three men
every two years who az willing to
serve their fellow beings in this way,
and this is how it happens that in St.
Clair county legal ability is not the
highest recommendation in a judicial
candidate.
Five judges have thus served their
terms in jail-Peden, Nevitt. Thomas
Lyons, Robert Lyons and Robert Gill
and some Of them have have been in
twice and are ready to go again. Pc
den is now confined in q Kansas City
Jail, and is just as obdurate as he was
when first committed. An effort was
made last week 10 induce him to obey
the order OF the Federal court, and

Lawyers is all right" said q St.
Clair county man, in discussing the
situation, "but you can't always de.
pend on 'em as judges. We ginerally
tries to make up the ticket with two
hard-headed farmers an one good law
yer. Then the farmers 60 to Jail and
stay there without a murmur. As for
the lawyer, Judge, why, we try to keep
him hid away so we can get our lawin'
done 'cordin' to law, an 1 guess we
come mighty near doin' OF it. At any
rate there'll be no bonds paid. No,
stree. Not a cent on 'em. Why,
there's thousand men in st. Clair
willin' to 60 to jail to prevent it, and
the boy babies are all bein' brought up
that way. too."
