Judge Greenleaf Clark.

Judge Greenleaf Clark, one of St.
Pau's best known and most respect
ed citizens, died at $40 o'clock Dec.
Z, at Lamanda Park, Cal.
Judge Clark was one of the pioneers
of Minnesota, and during his lifetime
was one of the most prominent and
influential men of the state. He was
known as man of sturdy and rug
ged character, gentleman of the
old school, who placed honor and in
tegrity above everything else. He
held important public positions, and
his administration of public affairs
was always characterized by the
close attention to detail and policy
which careful men apply to their
own affairs.
At the time of his death Judge
Clark was president of the board OF
regents of the state university and
president of the State Historical So
ciety. He was appointed associate
Judge of the supreme court of Min
nesota in 1881 by Governor Pills
bury, serving one year.
Judge Clark was born Aug. %, 30
in Plaistow, n. H. He fitted for col
lege at Atkinson academy, entering
Dartmouth college in 1851, from
which he graduated in 1855.

by Ambassador George v. L. Meyer,
now at Rome. Ambassador McCor-
mick is expected to retire from St
Petersburg on account of Ill health.
Ambassador Powell Clayton will re-
tire from Mexico and Minister CongeI
will leave Picking. Other retirements
and transfers of equal Importance will
occur very early in President Roose,
velt's next term.
There are some consular positions
attracting attention from those de-
sirous of sacrificing themselves for
the good of their country. The pa
triots think that John X. Gowdy. OF
indiana, has enjoyed his $4,000 a year
at Paris as consul general long
enough. They also believe that H.
Clay Evans has had his share of pub
lie Office, and there are several banker,
ing after his $20,000-a-year job. Con-
sui General Boyle. at Liverpool. has
enjoyed an income Of something like
$4,000 q year since the first month
of the first Mckinley administration.
There is no dearth Of patriots willing
to undertake his duties. The presi-
dent has indicated by his appointments
so far that he is going to rely as much
on his own knowledge Of men and their
fitness for the public service az he ID
upon the advice Of the politicians.
