CHIEF JUSTICE MELVILLE W FULLER.
cision of similar questions There were
ten decisions affecting the right claim
ed by corporations to refuse TO furnish
evidence concerning their affairs on the
ground that such evidence might be
used TO incrimnate them. Two related
to the SO called tobacco trust cases.
and the majority opinion in them was
delivered by Associate Justice Henry
Is. Brown. II declared that the right
of Il person under the fifth amendment

Justice Brown was appointed to the
supreme bench from Michigan by Pres
ident Harrison in 1890 He was born
in March, 1896, and has therefore
reached the age of seventy In so do
ing he became eligible for retirement,
but that is matter supreme court
justice exercises his discretion about.
Some justices have served until past
eighty, The late Justice Stephen ].
Field served thirty-four years. or until
he was eighty-one. 1t was during the
latter portion of his service that JUS
tice Brown took seat in the tribunal.
Judge Field was not able, by reason of
infrmlties, to do his share Of the work.
and the court was somewhat handi-
capped In consequence. The other
judges were overworked. Talking Of
the situation to Il friend, Justice Brown
said one day:
when | get to be seventy, IL don't
resign from the bench, | want you to
come to Washington and kick me off,"
! A few days ago this friend paid a
visit to him.
Il have come to remind you of con.
versation we had ten years ago." re.
marked his friend. This is your seven.
tieth birthday, and have come tc
comply with the instructions you gave
me then"
Justice Brown remembered the con
yersation and laughed. But he had al
ready notified the president of his in
tention to retire. 1t is understood tha
he will continue to serve for severa
months to come. The retirement q

s'SENATE A CON GAME"
Declares 1t is Un-American Because
Ruled by Minority,

Chicago, ILL.,, April 5.-Former
United States Senator William E.
Mason says the august body which
he lately adorned is Gigantic con
game" He spent six years in the
game, and made an unsuccessful
play for six more. He said:
while I have the best personal
feeling toward the men with whom
served in the Senate, the body, as
a body, is wholly un-American, un-
Republican and un-Democratic. It is
the only legislative body in the world
where the minority governs. All you
have to do to defeat legislation is to
object to having a time set for a final
vote. One Senator has more power
under those rules in defeating legis-
lation than fifty Senators have in
passing legislation" "

having been placed in this position by
some foolish and friendly employee of
the theater. They rose and slowly made
their way out through the packed mass,
the pit making sarcastic remarks. The
curtain then went up-half an hour be-
hind time-and the play was listened to
with the closest attention. At its close
it was cheered to the echo. Thus jealous
ly does the English pit guard its rights
down to the smallest particulars.
Leaving failures and troubles out, a
successful first night in London is more
interesting in every way than a similar
occasion in New-York 1t becomes, in
the case of the fashionable theaters
especially, huge social function marked
by distinction in every particular that
cannot possibly be seen in any West
End drawing room. A large number of
the people present assemble afterward
on the stage for supper and social inter-
course, congratulating managers and
actors. This has occasionally been done
in New-York, but cannot be called
custom. In every case, as far as | know,
it has been here matter Of personal
invitation.
One of the prettiest incidents recall
would in Newly ork have been considered
an impertinence. 1t was the night of the
first appearance of Mary Anderson in
London. At a certain point her voice
was not loud enough for the size of the
theater There came voice from the
gallery: Speak up, Mary!" The per-
g. IL, Il, IL
she had heard anything; but her next
sentence, beginning low, rose gradually
into full perfect resonance at the end,
and every syllable could be heard in the
back row of the gallery. The entire
audience recognized the perfect poise
and good-nature and there was a universal
shout of applause. This episode estab-
lished Mary Anderson at once in their
hearts and in their respect.
| think the most notable feature of a
New-Y ork first-night audience is almost
a paradox which l have never been able
to explain. 1t is cold and undcmonstra-
tive to the last degree as the play pro-
crosses, compared with the attitude of
London audience, and yet it seems to be
present with the absolute determination
to make the play a success. Who can
explain this anomalous condition of
things2 Everybody seems to wish the
production a success, and will frown on
anyone who emphasizes the bad points
in the play, and yet nowhere in the
world do the managers and the actors
regard the first-night audience as such
a terror. London is demonstrative for
good or evil; New-York is demonstrative
for neither. New-York ardently wishes
success; London criticizes without much
care whether it is success or a failure,
getting the best fun it can either way
AS an author | would prefer a failure in
London, because it arouses the fighting
spirit in a man which neutralizes de-
preston.
Much has been said about CONNER
cialism in NewYork management Leav-
i1g out all consideration of the artistic
or moral side of this question, the financial
side as a matter of mere mathematics
forces the commercial view of first night
in New-York on every American manager.
