Il was in barber shop IN Washing

son was receiving osculatory atten-
tions, and the colored barber who had
a victim in the next chair was enter
tanning him by expressing his opinion
OF the post-bellum career OF Hobson.
Hobson done great thing. sure
'nuff,' ratified on the barber, but
hain't got no use for this kisBin' bust
ness he's taken to now. He must be
a silly little chap
about as big as me- said the man
in the chair. with difficulty restrain
ing his amusement.
Have you seen him, then?' inquir
ed the barber.
"I know him pretty well. said the
customer.
Then a light dawned on the barber
and he fled preclpitately. leaving Hob
son,--for 1t was he-lathered, and an
other barber had to finish shaving

hiding in the back of the shop. and ht
could not be induced to resume his

FULLER REACHES RETIRING AGE

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Feb IL
Chief Justice Fuller reached the age
of seventy today, and thereby be-
comes eligible for retirement on full
pay. There have been rumors during
the last year that the chief Justice
would quit the bench. but as he Is still
iull of mental and bodily vigor des-
pite his three-score and ton years, 1t
is not regarded as likely he will retire
for some time. The only contingency
that might hasten his retirement
would be the election of a Democratic
president next year, in which case 1t
is likely that the chief justice would
quit the Office in order to give Presi-
dent Roosevelt an opportunity to
name his successor.
The retirement of Chief Justice
Fuller would be distinct loss to The
highest tribunal in the land Since
his appointment by President Cleve-
land in 1883 he has constantly grown
in the estimation of the people and of
his colleagues on the bench. One
of the remarkable things about the
chief justice is the wide extent of his
general knowledge. 1t is said that no
case was ever presented to him with
out calling out the fact lat some stage
of the proceedings. that he had pre-
viously- knowledge of the gen
eral subject involved in the case at
hand. In one celebrated case he sur
prised many persons with his knowl-
Extraordinarily not acquired merely
for the occasion of ancient ecclesiasti-
cal law. 1t was during the trial of
Bishop Cheney of the Reformed Epis-
copal church on charges of heresy.
Mr.. Fuller appeared for the defense,
The case went against the bishop, but
the trial served to bring out the Won
derful scholarship of Mr.. Fuller and
his ability to make the most of the
evidence in hand to prove his case.

MRS. FAIRS HEIRS WILL
INHERIT PROPERTY

PARIS, Feb. 11.-Agents for the
mother and brothers of the late Mrs
Charles Fair have been here some
time and secured afiidavits sworn to
before United States consuls, that
Charles Fair died nearly one hour be
fore his wife, as result of the auto
mobile accident in which both lost
their lives last year. This being the
case the wife became heir to the Fair
millions, and her mother and immedi
ate relatives in turn became her heirs
For this reason it is believed that
the suit which Mrs. Nelson is bring
ing for two or three million dollars
will be won by her, even though she
accepted one hundred and fifty thous
and dollars from the Fair estate and
agreed to take part in no further pro
ceedings against the estate.

intimated that Quay did not ring true

the Democracy to force the vote ii
possible and secure the admission OF
the three states as agreed to by the
house and promised in the platform
of both parties.
There was no reply made to Mr.
Morgan's charges. although Quay in
timated the present week will not
close without the matter being set.
