He Is an able lawyer and would make a very good judge. but it Is not probable that he would be willing to give up his large law practice There Is. perhaps more to the story that the President will name Will liam H. Taft. Governor General of the Philippines. Some time ago, before the thought of being President. MT Roosevelt declared Governor Taft to be one of the ablest of jurists and well fitted for an Associate Judgeship. Since then Governor Taft has shown himself ready to make great sacrifices for his country. He re- signed life judicial position-that of pre- siding Judge in the Sixth Circuit-to be- come chairman of the Philippine Com mission. He has shown both executive and judicial ability in the Philippines as well as remarkable constructive ca pacity. The gravest problems of Philip pine government seem to have been solv- ed, and the President might deem it well to now reward Governor Taft by making him an Associate Justice Before the Philippine question arose that was Gov ernor Tafts ambition, and it is not known that it has changed since.

Taft as Successor to shiras.

 Friends of Justice Holmes are dis pleased at the intimation that has been made in newspapers that are hostile to the Roosevelt administration that Justice Holmes was sounded as to his views on the great constitutional questions arising out of the war with Spain. They say, with decided emphasis. that Justice Holmes would not for moment have permitted any interrogatories to be made as to his opinions on such points, that he would have ordered the interrog- ator out of his house in great hurry had any one. no matter how prominent in national life had the impotence to ques- tion him. It Is regarded as possible, how ever. that the President may have learn ed that Justice Holmes believes in inter prcting the Constitution broadly and W ould be apt to decide that the govern ment has the fullest possible power in all matters connected with it's sovereignty. But it is highly improbable that Presi- dent Roosevelt gave any thought to Jus tice Holmes constitutional views, and that he made the selection because he thought Justice Holmes specially well qualified.
 And now it is stated that Attorney General Knox has no ambition to sit on the Supreme bench; that his name will not be considered by the President in connection with the vacancy soon to be made by the retirement of MT. Justice Shiras. If political influence is to be at all potent in the choice of Justice Shiras's successor and Pennsylvania is to be again honored by a representative on the Supreme bench it is probable that Judge J. Hay Brown will be named. he is supported the Pennsylvania Sena- tors and the influences they command. President Roosevelt is on the friendliest terms with the Pennsylvania Senators, but 1t would not be in accordance with his views of his duty as chief executive If he were to consider political recOm- mendations in making his appointments to the Supreme bench. It is probable that he will seek rather the Judgment oi

'Fskeeters" in Atlantic City.

New York World
 Millions of mosquitoes swarmed over At lantic City Thursday and bit every one they came in contact with. The Board walk was living field of them, and they hoverad in millions around the lights
 On the Ocean Pier the situation was worse. It was necessary for the manage ment to place lighted punk all over the pier. Hundreds of women with their es- corts ca -ried lighted punk on the board walk, while the drug stores did a land office business and the price of citronella oil went up several cents.
 Some of the mosquitoes are the largest ever seen here. Prof. H. S Wright of the Atlantic City High School had one sent to him which measured three-quar- ters of an inch. The Professor stated that the poison from the insect was strong enough to kill an army mule. The pests ''queered" everything that was good and the actors had disagreeable experience

Miss. HaswelI Coming.

When Miss Percy Haswell makes her initial appearance as a star in this city at the Montgomery Theatre about the middle of October she will be seen in the leading role of "A Royal Family" which is credited with one of the longest runs in New York's theatrical history.
 The author, Capt. R. Marshall, has de- picted as the principal feminine person. age princess of a new and imaginary, but quite likely kingdom of Arcacia. She has been bred as a fashionable young lady of the present moment and has plenty of sentiment, but 1t is of the fleet ing and elusive quality. in fact, Angela, the name of this interesting young wo- man. is inclined to scoff at traditions. When 1t becomes necessary for the pres ervatton of the kingdom to betroth her to the Crown Prince of a neighboring realm. she Is refractory-presently she falls desperately in love with this very prince who comes to her fathers court in the disguise of a mere count Then with charming and feminine inconsistency she decides to submit to the sacrifice Of course. the count discloses himself as the crown prince and after much pouting and pretty confusion Angela marries him.

The Dewey-Anderson Goodness.

Kansas City Journal.
 Gen. Thomas NJ. Anderson, who lately went on the retired list, mas a small opin- ion of Admiral Dewey, dating from a time shortly after the battle of Manila. When Anderson arrived there he was anxious to do something, so he visited Dewey and proposed to take the town. The Ad- miral dissented, suggesting mildly that the eventso May gave him some dis tinction as well as authority. General Anderson, who Is given to plainness If speech, rcjoined: 'Hell All you did was to smash few pewter ships" Ever since then the two men have been anything but friends. This story is related by an officer of the 2rd Oregon Regiment, which was in Manila at the time under Ander- sons command.

New York Music-mad.

According to the newspapers. New York City has gone music mad over Creatore and his Italian band; now playing at Hammersteins Paradise Roof Garden, on Broadway.
 gomery as leader of Ellery's Band open- ed there in July, preceded only by ordi- nary press announcements, but the first night he caught the fancy of the music loving New Workers and at once became a rage and the talk of the town. The place is now being crowded to Its ca- pacity at every performance. The play ing of the band Is said to be most ex- cellent, a revelation in fact, but the en- ergetic mannerisms of Creatore in con- ductfng are what has much to do with the success. Although he is actually sen- sational in this respect. the sensation Is legitimate. and his poses are not studied nor done for effect.
 He is of an exceedingly magnetic tenn perament. and becomes so earnest in his work that he forgets that he is before an audience being watched, and leans over his band in coaxing attitudes and com manding poses. threatening. entreating and inspiring. with such, interesting re- suits as to thrill his audience.
 Hammerstein, who Is the most original and eccentric manager in New York, is making a fortune out of the engagement of the band, which is the greatest pop ular success in the metropolis since the days of Carmencita, Yvette Guilbert and Fregoli.

For the eccen- tric female part he has found Miss Mad cline Winthrop. whose success in the popular "Burgomaster'' was one of the things most talked about in connection with the production. And MT. Baker him. self is greater and better than ever in song and dialect, and returns to his work at the head of his own company more thoroughly equipped even than of yore in voice, action and humor.

Decentralization of oAudrey y

The dramatization of Miss Mary John- ston's Audrey" her latest and best story, dramatization in which Mir E. F. Bod dington and Miss Harriet Ford have col laborated, will be presented this fall first to the consideration of the people of the Southern States. with whom the gifted authoress has always made her home, and of whom she is one, by birth and inheritance.
 Messrs. Liebler & Co, to whose man. agement Miss Johnston has committed this undertaking, have considered 1t but proper that this course of procedure be pursued. for to postpone the visit to the South until after the inauguration of the New York run means a postponement certainly until another season, and pos- sibly for two. Such a postponement it was thought would not he showing the consideration and respect due that section of the country with which Miss John- ston's life and fame have been identified, and in which section her stories have all been located.
 Hence it has been decidsa that "Au drey'' will have it's initial presentation at the Academy of Music. in Richmond. Va, about November E, and from that point brief tour of the leading Southern , Southern cities will be made.
 The preservation of the atmosphere of
 
 by the dramatists. the handling has all been of delicately artistic nature and these ideas will be carried out in every scene in the stage setting and in the costuming of the play. The production will be very elaborate one, not perhaps in gilt and tinsel and bold show. but in all that artistic taste and real merit de- mands. and in the selection of cast no thought will be permitted to enter save fitness. and supreme excellence In ca pacity.
 Messrs. Liebler 6 Co.,. expect to make of Audrey" one of the notable produc- tions of the year. They have great con- fdence in the dramatic material the story presents. and believe that if it be but properly handled and properly cast it will appeal to the public as a peculiarly charming and wholly delightful play. and particularly with the people of the South should it's peculiar merits find favor, for it ss in the atmosphere of the South that it's characters dwell and with it's mem ories that the plot of the play has to deal.
