SELECT THE BEST MEN,.

Taken all In all, the Circuit Bench
of Cook County compares favOrably
with the judiciary of any other com.
munity in this or any other country.
1t is composed In the main Of able
lawyers, fair-minded. upright, conser-
vative and capable jurists.
No scandals have ever smirched the
Cook County bench, and the decisions
of Its courts have in the main been
sound and lawyer.like.
Notwithstanding all Of this, however,
there Is a strong and growing senti-
ment that the makeup of the Circuit
Court could be improved and strength
ened, and that the approaching cleo
ton offers the proper time and oppor-
tunity for doing this.
While, as we have stated, the ma.
jority of our Circuit Court Judges are
able lawyers and first-class jurists,
there are, 1t is claimed some OF whom
as much cannot be truthfully said.
II Is said that there are some men
on the bench who have neither the
temperament nor the legal qualifica-
ton and training to make first-class
Judge. There are some who through
their appointments of bad and unfit
Masters in Chancery have seriously In
jured the prestige and the working
powers of their courts, aud there are
other fads and affiliations outside the
bench which have had peculiar effects
upon their judgments.
The Eagle Is not alone in this view.
1t is shared by its contemporaries, and
not long ago one Of the ablest lawyers
In Chicago, In a published article,
claimed that there was prevailing
opinion among the members Of the
bar that through one cause or another
a few men had managed to get on the
bench who ought not to be there.
1t Is In these quarters that the voters

THH A. o. IT. FAIR.
Will Close Tonight and Distribution of
 Prizes Will Take Place.


 Tonight the A. O. H. fair will close. One thousand dollars in prizes will be distributed before the City hall is dark ened for it's Sunday morning rest All stubs and all money for tickets should be turned in to the committee before 10 o'clock this evening. Besides the $1,- GOO in cash prizes other articles from the fancy booth will be given to the lucky signers of books. .=
 The fair is a big financial success, and it has shown what an enviable spirit of unity there exists among all the divisions. Those who know say this fair is the best attended one of the year. The special feature last night was the drill by the Ladies' aux Hilary. The frequent applause showed that the various movements, so per fectly performed by the lady soldiers, were very pleasing to the audience.
 In the distribution of prizes three judges, not members of the order, will see that justice is done to all who have bought tickets.

LAID A CORNERSTONE.
Roosevelt at Y. M. c. A. Conyent1oa. in
 Topeka, \

Topeka. '
 TOPEKA. Kan, May 2.-President Roosevelt made two addresses in To peka last night, one at the laying of the cornerstone of the new railroad Y. M. c. A. building and the other at the Auditorium before the internation- al convention of the Y. Ms 0. A. Both addresses were heard by immense crowds of people and were received with the greatest enthusiasm. After laying the cornerstone for the Y. M. c. A. building the president was conduct ed to the residence of Governor Bailey, where he was entertained at dinner. His last address was given at 9:30 o'clock. The crowd was very large, but so excellent were the police regula- lions that there was little or no confu- sion.
 The work of putting up decorations began early. Flags were displayed in great numbers on the store fronts. The entrances to buildings were draped with red, white and blue bunting Many private residences put out flags and other decorations in honor of the visit. The Harvard colors could be seen in many places along with the red, white and blue.
 President Roosevelt's train arrived in Topeka an hour late. Over 12,O00 people assembled at the site of the new Y. M. c. A. building to welcome him. The delay only served to add 10 the crowd. At 6:55 the booming of cannon announced the arrival of the presi- dents train north of the river. Soon the train was switched from the Union Pacific to the Santa Fe tracks and run down to the new building. Escorted by a local cavalry company and score of mounted police, the president was es- corted to platform. He made short address and then laid the cornerstone.
 General Manager Nudge of the Santa Fe presided at the exercises. He pre- scented to tie president a silver trowel which had been contributed by the road, and with this the president placed the mortar in position.
 The opening prayer was made by Rev. Fl. R. Gregg of St. Louis.
 In his address President Roosevelt expressed his pleasure at being in ''the 6SN@Ss~RAAA~AA NNhNSA VI kAlV OAALOA States" He congratulated the dele gates to the Y. M. c. A. convention that they had come to Kansas for their great meeting and said he hoped their meeting would be the most profitable ever held. The president characterized the railroad Y. Nj. c. A. as one of the most potent agencies for good in the country in that it tended to make bet ter men of the railroad employees, upon whom so much depended.
 The ceremonies occupied twenty min utes.
 President Roosevelt spent five hours in Kansas City, Mo, during the day and was the guest of Kansas City, Kan, just across the state line, for two hours. He left for the west late in the afternoon. In the two cities the president was driven over a route if teen miles long and reviewed nearly B0,000 school children, made two speeches, one at Convention hall, and partook of luncheon at the Baltimore hotel as the guest of the Commercial club of Kansas City, Mo.

KILLED AT WATERVlLLE.
Walter A. Moore of Holyoke overtaken
 By Train.

water A. Moore or dolyoKe OVertaken
 By Train.
 Walter A. Moore of Holyoke, Mass, was killed on the Naugatuck division at Waterville about o'clock last night by Conductor McDermott's train. MT Moore had just left the residence of Theron l.. Mcintyre, where he had been making a call and had reached a. point near the new bridge, not far from the residence of his daughter, Mrs Jean Ingraham, the well known newspaper man and actor, with whom he had been stopping, when he was struck and killed almost instantly. The train was brought to a standstill and the body taken to the station, where 1t was viewed by Acting Medical Examiner Graves, after which it was removed to Undertaken Auger's morgue on South Main street. Mir Moore was born in Ancram, N. -., 5 years ago, where he learned the paper making business. Later he worked at it in Burnside, Conn, Holyoke, Mass, and other places. A short time ago he paid visit to his daughter, Miss Hattie Moore, who re- sides in Greenfield Mass, and before returning to his home in Holyoke de- cided to spend few days with another daughter Mrs Ingraham. and also see many other relatives and friends in Waterbury. It was while on his way to Mrs Ingraham's from making call upon one of his old friends that he met with the accident which eliminated ill his death. It is said that heavy freight was rumhling along the New England road at the time and that this was probably the reason why he did not hear the train coming along the road he was walking on. The funeral will be held Monday. with interment beside the remains of his wife at Aucram
