DEATH OF F. R. COUDtRT,
New York Lawyer of international
Reputation Expires.
VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE.
Represented American interests at Con-
gress on Law of Nations-Was on
Two Internatio Commissions.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-Frederic
Z. Coudert, the we'll known lawyer of
New York, died here from heart trouble,
with which he had suffered for several
years.
Mr. Coudert, with his wife and an I'M
married daughter, was spending the win
ter in Washington to escape the severity
Of the climate of the more northern city.
La addition TO the members of his imme-
date household, there were with him,
when the end came, Mrs. Frederick
Benedict of New York, widowed
daughter, and Mrs. j. B. Bellinger,
married daughter. Frederic r. Cou-
dert, Jr., son, is expected here from
the south.
Funeral services will be held at st.
Patrick's cathedral in New York on
Tuesday. The nterment will be in Cal
vary cemetery, Brooklyn.

Skin Milk for Cn1za

If one has a separator in the dairy
there is no objection to feeding the
skim milk to the COWS, provided it is
given them while sweet-that is, when
not stale or in any way soiled It is
best fed back to the COWS mixed with
bran, and adds materially to the food
ration, generally increasing the milk
flow decidedly. The plan Of feeding
skim milk from the creamery to cows
should not be carried on, for such milk
is unfit even for swine, unless one is
reasonably sure that it is from the
milk Of the same day. 1t is probable
that the feeding Of skim milk will be
found most profitable when given to
hogs or to the poultry, but where this
stock is not kept in sufficient quantity
to consume the skim milk it may be
safely fed to COWS under the condi-
tons named.

JOLIET MILLS CLOSE.
Illinois Steel Company Plant Shuts Down
and 1000 Men Are Out

Joliet H.. Dec. 21.--The suspension Of
work at the Illinois Steel company's plant
here will be practically complete by the
end Of the week The converter and
billet mills, employing 1000 men, closed
down today. Officials here assign 10
cause for the shutdown; neither can they
estimate the duration of one suspension.
Chicago, ILL.,, Dee. 21-PresideHt Eu-
gene ]. Burlington of the Illinois Steel
company termed the shutting down of the
Joliet mills the usual winter closing"
and gave the date Of probable resump-
ton as January Is. He said there was
nothing extra ordinary in the situation
there
Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 21.-Four thousand
steel mills laborers at South Chicago,
employees of the Illinois Steel company,
have been notified that they will be laid
off next Thursday. Thirteen hundred en-
ployes of the slab, open hearth and slate
mills have already been discharged. The
reason given the men for their dismissal
is that needed repairs require that por-
ton Of the plant to be shut down.

Water for Farm Animals.


1t is admitted that water is essen
tial to the well-being Of humans, and
If this is so why should any one pre-
sumo to think that animals can get
along with little or no water? Yet
this is the plan on which many farm
erS work. The COWS and horses are,
perhaps, properly watered, but the 9TH
err farm animals are given little water.
In series Of experiments carried on
by the writer a number Of years ago it
was found that sheep, swine and poul-
try gave us nearly 90 per cent. better
returns when regularly and carefully
watered than when the water was
given but occasionally.
That is, the egg supply was larger
from the hens, and the sheep and hogs
kept to the desired weight. More than
this, we found there was less trouble
with diseases, particularly those that
had the stomach for their base of at
tack. 1t is now a regular practice to
give all the animals on the farm regu-
lar supplies of clean water. In water
ing the sheep and swine troughs are
provided and kept for the purpose.
After the animals have drunk, the
troughs are removed so that there is
no chance Of them being defiled. 1t
will pay every time to water all farm
animals regularly and with clean wat

Will Take a Vacation During the Con-

Most Urgent Business

Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt began today the observ-
ance of the congressional holiday recess.
No visitors were received at the white
house. Indeed, the President did not ap-
pear in the executive offices. Shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock he walked to the resi-
dence of Secretary Of State Hay and re-
NAMED with the secretary about twenty
minutes. Returning to the white house
he left Immediately on an extended
horseback ride. During the next two
weeks the President viii receive only
such callers as have to present him the
most urgent public business. He will
spend in the executive Office only such
time as may be necessary for the dispo-
sition Of important correspondence.

America when sentenced to death for his
part IN the conspiracy to place the Duke
of Reichstadt on the throne of France.
Frederic r. Coudert entered Columbia
college at the age of IA, and graduated
four years later at the head of his class.
He read law in the office of Edward
Curtis, and in 1858, when he had at
tanned his majority, was admitted to the
bar.
During his college course and while
student of law, Mr.. Coudert supported
himself by working during the time not
devoted to his studies. After his adj
mission to the bar, Frederic, Charles
and Louis Coudert formed the firm of
Coudert Brothers. Charles and Louis
Coudert died some years ago.
Had a Large Practice
The Couderts soon acquired a large
practice. Frederic was always the
firms most conspicuous member. He
was selected by his fellow lawyers to
prepare the memorial to Charles O'Con-
or. and was also one of the lawyers
selected to oppose the passage of the
code of civil procedure which the New
York Legislature subsequently adopted.
His own practice was made up largely
of cases involving foreign interests in
this country. This branch of the bust
branch offices of the firm were opened
in Paris.
Active in Politics.
Although never a candidate for office,
Mr.. Coudert was for many years active
in Democratic politics. The only office
he ever held was the honorary place of
school commissioner. He was an ar
dent supporter of Mayor Grace and in
1884 worked valiantly for the election
Of Grover Cleveland
In 1877 Mr. Coudert was q delegate
TO represent the interests of American
commerce at the international congress
on the law of nations held at Antwerp,
and five years later he attended a meet
ing Of the same congress at Liverpool.
He won great praise as the American
representative in the Behring sea COM.
mission in Paris in 1895. A year later,
when President Cleveland sought and
obtained authority from Congress to APP
point q commission to investigate
Venezuela's boundary dispute with
Great Britain. Mr.. Coudert was appoint
ed commissioner.

Ancient Proofreading.

The editions Of books printed two
or three hundred years ago are almost
entirely free from typographical er-
rors, which may be attributed to the
fact that early publishers were gener.
ally eminent scholars, and themselves
gave much attention to the revision OF
their proofs. After reading the proofs
they frequently turned them over to
other scholars with the request to re-
wise and correct, and as the printers
time was then deemed a matter of
small consequence, a perfection was
attained which is seldom equaled by
modern printers.
