THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
Their Attire in Days Past and Present.
Lawyers Wore Full Suits of Black
and RuffIed Shirts

Henry Carlton Lewis in The Pilgrim
A new Justice is always inaugurated
In an old robe. This is one of the
Strange customs scarcely susceptible
of explanation, yet never departed
from. While the robes are black there
is no law requiring that this hue be
used. The chief Juctice could. with
impunity, enter the court room at
tired in a bright yellow robe. But
nothing but black would be in keep
ing with solemnity of the court and
it's proceedings. A tailor's description
of the robe is that cit is made OF large,
straight widths of black silk. 1t is
three and one quarter yards wide at
the bottom. IL has narrow hem
around the bottom and a broad hem
down the front. 1t is gagged at the
top to a yoke, which is snort on the
shoulders aud forms deep scallOp at
the back. The full sleeves are yard
wide I'd reach to the wrist" A wo-
mau makes the robes, and the price
is invariably 500 each. She is a
specialist III this line of tailoring, and
knows the details so we'll that the fl
is the only thing which gives her Gus
toners concern, and in this they are
always scrUpulOusly particular.
The robes are worn off the bench
only when the court is taking part in
some official ceremony. They may be
worn to an official funeral. They are
always used by the court at the pres
idential inaugural ceremonies, on
which occasion the Chief Justice ad-
new President. In the robing room
is portrait of John Jay, the fret
Chief Justice, attired in robe with
scarlet facings, but such a robe has
not been seen In the court room dur
ing the last 100 years. The walls OF
this room are hung with new and
secondhand robes, giving the place
a sombrs appearance.
In earlier times the Justices wore
wigs and knee trousers. The lawyers
were required to appear before the
court in full suits of black with ruff I'd
shin ts, knee trousers, silk hose and
low shoes with silver buckles. A black
frock coat is now the only distinctive
article of dress worn by the bar,
though no particular form of dress is
now obi gatory.
The present court is composed Of
Chief Justice Melville Weston Full.r,
who took the oath of office October s,
1888, and Associate Justice John
Marshall Harlan, Dec. 10, 1877
David Josiah Brewer, Dec. IS, 1889;

ward Douglass White, October 10,

10, 1895; Joseph McKenna, January
26. 1898, and Oliver Wendell Holmes
The youngest men ever appointed
to the Supreme Court were Joseph
Story, appointed by President Madi-
son, and William Johnson, appointed
by President Jtfferson, both of whom
were but thirty two years of age when
they assembled the bench. OF the pre-
sent court Justice Harlan was the
most youthful when appointed, being
forty four years of age at that time

treat army OF Boys Annually Claim
ed by King Alcohol.
The ravages Of rum and it's effect on
the youth of the nation were graphical
ly described by the Rev. Er. w. f. Will
son of Hamilton, Ont, IL an address
delivered before the twenty first inter
national Christian Endeavor conven
ton at Denver.
DR.. Wilson said that the relative
amount OF liquor consumed yearly by
the great nations of the world was
France first, Italy next, then Germany
Rnd Austria. The United States stood
fifteenth on the list, yet the drink bill
of the United States last year was,
81 800, 100000.
The continued prosperity of even this
great and growing republic was imper-
lied, said Dr. Wilson.
"The saloon everywhere is a curse
in London, Paris, Berlin, Glasgow, Ros-
ton, Washington, Toronto and Denver
it is the same" he continued. 1T is the
Gibraltar of greed. the Jericho of lust
and crime, the slaughter house of char
acter and health. 1t is the sewer pipe
of misery and despair, mighty tyrant,
a menace to freedom, purity and pros
perity, the birthplace of paupers and
criminals, the very fountain head of
blasphemy, brutality and anarchy.
''In his fathers saloon the slayer of
President Mckinley was schooled in
lawlessness and crime, and from a sa-
loon he went forth to commit one of the
foulest crimes that ever disgraced the
name of man.
"Sixty thousand boys in this republic
every year become moderate drinkers,
and 10000 moderate drinkers become
confirmed drunkards, and 10000 con-
firmed drunkards pass into a state of
hopeless despair"

Judge Gray for President.

According to story current IN Politi-
cal circles in Wilmington, Del, William
j. Bryan has been outgeneraled by
Grover Cleveland, and the former Presi-
dent has shrewdly paved the way for the
nomination of Judge Gray, said to be his
real choice for President, at the demo-
cratic national convention.
Josiah Marvel, prominent lawyer of
Wilmington, and originally strong
Bryan supporter, but now one OF the
closest and most active friends Of Judge
Gray, has admitted that he spent the
night with Bryan in the Hoffman House,
in New York. the day before the latter
sailed for Europe several months ago,
when he secured the promise of Bryan
that he would support Judge Gray if he
received the nomination at St. Louis
This visit was made at the instance OF
Mr.. Cleveland, who, il is said, desired
Bryan's hands securely tied by a promise
before he discovered that Gray was Cleve-
lands real candidate. Judge Gray's
friends who know of this deal consider
the nomination already as goodas landed
for the Delaware jurist.
To hide the real candidate, and, at the
same time, to kill of the strongest COM
petitor, Cleveland, so the story goes,
shrewdIy turned the wrath of both
Bryan and Hearst, and the opposition of
other aspirants, against Judge Parker by
openly indorsing him. After doing so,
the New Jirsey delegation, which Clege-
land admittedly controls, was prevented
from being instructed for Parker that it
might be delivered to Gray. Senator
Smith, of that delegation, was in Will
mington recently arranging with the
Gray men for turning over these votes at
the proper time. Leader Murphy, of
Tammany Hall, continually talks Cleve-
land, but has Landed Gray, under cover
of mentioning him as a candidate for vice
President. Mr.. Marvel was in New York
a few days ago, and since his return it is
reported that Bourke Cochran, of the
Tammany delegation, has agreed to make
a speech in favor of Judge Gray at the
national convention although forced by
the unit rule instructions to vote for Par
ker. This movement is understood to
explain the widespread plan, started in
mediately after Cleyeland's interview IA
voring Parker, 10 send as many unin-
structed delegations as possible to the
convention.

Suit Against standard Oil Company.

Suit Against Standard Oil Company.
Trenton, n. j., June 27.-George
Rice, of Marietta, Ohio, filled bill in
chancery this morning for the disso-
luton of the Standard Oil Company
the New Jersey Corporation-as being
illegal under the antitrust act and also
under the State laws. The bill states
that Mr.. Rice owned certain OF the
original Standard Oil trust certificates
aud alleges that the Standard Oil trust
having been declared unlawful in Ohio,
its counsel procured delay on the part
of the Ohio Supreme Court by pretend
ing that the trustees proposed to liqui-
date in obedience to the Ohio decree,
and that instead or liquidating they
simply made verbal changes by which
the unlawful enterprise was continued,
and later on the New jersey cooperation
became a holding company for all the
property in the trust so as to preserve
the monopoly declared unlawful.
1t is claimed that all the trust meth
DDS are continued by the New jersey
corl Grafton which is itself an illegal en-
terprise, because the charter could only
be used for lawful purpose, and it was
unlawful hereunder to carry out the
original Standard Oil trust agreement,
and the unlawful result cannot be ac-
complished either through the New Jer-
sey corporation or through the Rookie
fellow interest as individuals owning a
majority of the stock of the New Jersey
corporation, and it is claimed that this
result cannot lawfully be continued
through even individual ownership of
the underlying companies.
The Rice bill asks for drastic relief,
viz: The declaration that the company
is engaged in an unlawful business, the
appointment of receiver to take all the
property that came from the trust to the
New jersey corporation, or which has
since been acquired by it, and to divide
in kind all these assets amongst the
stockholders of the New Jersey corpora
ton and the holders of outstanding I'M
surrendered Standard Oil trust certi6-
cates-such as Mr. Rice's. Each dis
tributer to own absolutely what he gets
instead Of receiving undivided interests
in the underlying stocks would continue
the trust in a new way.

MR.. GORMAN.

Beneath the democratic political court
now rapidly forming, there are evidences
Of a strong and persistent, if quiet, move
ment that takes account of neither
Parker nor Hearst, but that is building
its course in the direction of German, OF
Maryland, as possible dark horse, who
will reunite the ends Of the party and
carry it to success.
Among the Maryland editors now IN
Richmond on pleasure trip is Mr..
John w. Avirett, State game warden OF
Maryland and editor OF the Cumber-
land News, and one or two other papers.
Mr.. Ayirett is close friend of the Sena-
tor, and is intimately in touch with the
political situation. This situation he
has studied carefully and obviously with
view to advancing the German boom,
which be evidently believes is coming.
"Parker will not win Cleveland will
not win Hearst will not win" de-
clared Mr.. Avirett last night. "There
are but two men in the party ranks
who can win, and they are German, OF
Maryland, and Gray, of Delaware. L
am in favor of one of these two for the
first place on the ticket, and of Francis,
of St. Louis, for the second place.
The Maryland delegation is not in
structed for German, but it is in fact
unit for him. He picked out the men.
"Haye you talked with the Senator
about the campaign /
ayes. He did not specifically state TO
me that he would be candidate, but l
can say that he is in the field. He is
allowing me to perform certain com
missions for him, which he would not
have permitted if he intended TO decline
the nomination if offered"
"Will Francis eliminate the Folk fol-
lowing, which is very strongY'
"No. Folk is too high man to allow
that. He controls his following abso-
lutely and would throw allof his strength
behind the party nominee. Bryan also
will support the ticket, if Francis is on
it. / have reason to believe that Willie
Hearst himself will fall into line il
German is the man. Both he and Bryan
would oppose Parker or Cleveland. With
the ends of the party united again, and
German pulling his own enormous
strength, the democratic ticket would
win, particularly since the Chicago ne
gro plank. German in his campaign
has always opposed anything like this
negro platform, and his position is clear
and we'll defined on this point. / be-
lieve German and Francis would carry
the solid South, and have large follow
ing in the North and Middle West"
The impression left by the conversation
with Mr.. Avirett was that there is a
quiet boom on for German, that the
Senator is willing, and that there may
be some important developments in this
direction at st. Louis. Several of the
other editors expressed themselves on
the political outlook L Richmond Times

EIectrocu,ion ola Murderer.

Ossining, n. Y, June 27.-Unat-
tended by either clergyman or keeper,
Frank H. Burmese, the sailor murderer,
strobe into the death chamber at Sing
Sing prison this morning and was put to
death in the electric chair. His an
parent eagerness to meet death surprised
even the prison officials. He almost
ran to the chair and as the keepers and
State electrician Davis were busy ar
ranging the electrodes and strapping
the man in the chair, Burmese gazed
about at the little group of witnesses be-
fore him and smiled as though he was
merely posing for photograph. Bur-
rless's case was one of the most unique
in the history of the famous old prison.
Arrested for the murder of Captain Geo.
B. Townsend, he confessed not only
TO the shooting but to killing Of at
least half a dozen victims at various
times and told Of escapades in which he
had been engaged and in which he had
wounded several others. He aided the
District Attorney in bringing about his
own conviction and when he learned
that his attorney had appealed his case
to the Court Of Appeals against his
wishes, he wrote to Governor Odell ask
ing the governor to use his influence to
have the appeal dismissed. He refused
religious counsel of any sort and kept up
his spirit of bravado TO the last. Four
shocks were administered before Burmese
was officially declared dead.

IT Is REPORTED anoficially by an
,fficer of the Pennsylvania Railroad that
a further reduction in the force OF en-
ploves has been decided on in view OF
the continued shrinkage oftraffic through
out the system. 1t is said that the
company, hoping for improved condl-
tons, would furlough these men rather
than discharge them. This will bring
the total reduction offorce up to IL, QUO.
In addition to the cut in the number OF
employees of the road, there will be re-
duction in the working hours of many OF
the train crews, who will not have as
many trips now as they have had. Other
railroad corporations throughout the
country are making similar reductions
in their force Of employees, yet the re-
publican spellbinders are prating about
prosperous times under continued re-
publican rule.
