HARLAN NOT YET READY LEAVE SUPREME BENCH

ever, by the thought that a change in his accustomed work might short en his life. He is most happy in the discharge of his present duties, and unless prevailed upon by his sons he is likely to die in harness.
 Justice Harlan received his early ed. ucation in Kentucky, where he was born. In 1861 he removed to Louis vile to enjoy broader field in the practice of his chosen profession. With the outbreak of the war he raised regiment and became colonel. After 15 months service in the union army, upon the death of his father he returned home. In 1871 and again in 1875 he was the Republican candi- date for governor of Kentucky. In 1876 he was at the head of the Kentucky delegation to the Republican national convention, and it was by his effort that Hayes was nominated for presi- dent. He caused the name of Bris- tow to be withdrawn and directed the vote of the Kentucky delegation to Hayes. This move caused Blaines de- feat by IF votes. A few months after Hayes inauguration Justice Harlan was appointed to the supreme bench.

Waste, Much Waste.

In a recent report on the subject of the prodigious waste of the resources of this country, Prof. J. A. Holmes. chief of the technologic bureau of the geological survey, calls attention to the fact that in the coal-mining opera tion as conducted at present, nearly one-half of the total coal supply is be- ing left underground; that water as a source of power is being wasted day after day and year after year to the extent of millions of horsepower, and that forest fires have burned more lumber than has been used in the building of homes or in the industries. Prof. Holmes says that the waste of coal is appalling. Every possible means should be adopted, he declares, for reducing this waste to an absolute minimum, in order that the country's fuel resources may suffice for the fu- ture, as for the present needs of the nation. At present rates of waste and consumption he sees an end of the coal supply by the year 2,000.

HIS KIND CRUELT1
(Copyright.)
By JUDITH SPENCER

The doctors had agreed that it was overwork, and that Percival Challoner had narrowly escaped brain fever. So they ordered him away and prescribed two months of rest-of perfect idle ness. =
 His choice lay between the sea and the mountains, and Challoner chose the sea. He had always hated fash ionable crowds and counted himself lucky in finding picturesque yet not oyer-popular spot upon the coast, and in that place piquant and charming girl with whom he could spend long hours in pleasant chat, and take his morning walk along the shore.
 The days were perfect summer days; work, study, reading of every kfsed had been forbidden him, and so with nothing whatever to do and pretty and bright young creature just at hand, what could be more prob able or more natural than for Chal- loner to fall in love?
 Madge Winthrop was openly pleased with his attentions, and it seemed quite natural to her that they should be much together since an elder gen. eration of Challoners and Winthrops had E. been close friends. But Chal- 1oner could see that while his feeling for his fair companion quickly deep ened into love, her attitude toward him continued to be that of frank and free good compradeship.
 There was but one of Madge's amusements in which he could not share, and that was the sea bathing. It was doubly a deprivation to him, since he was an expert swimmer, and also because Madge took to the water like veritable nymph of the sea. But the physicians had said that this exercise was too violent for him now, and they had positively forbidden it.
 One morning after storm, when the waters had dark and angry look,

Struck the Girl Upon Her White Face. Mrs. Donald, Madge's aunt and chap erone, begged her not to go in that day. But Madge laughed at her fears,
 There were fewer bathers from the hotel than usual that morning, and of those who ventured in, most, for some reason, kept quite near the shore.
 But Madge, either from a spirit of bravado or from utter lack of any sense of danger, swan out and out, until she was far beyond the break CTS and away from everyone.
 Challoner sat on the bluff and watched her as usual, but with an un- usual sense of irritation which at last changed to anxiety and then alarm Suddenly he sprang up, some thing was wrong-she was being car ried out by the force of the under tow-and now she had become con- scious of her danger; he saw her fling up her arms.
 Down from the bluff he raced, fling ing off his coat and vest as he. ran. Kicking off his shoes, he shouted to those on the shore, who had begun to have some dim consciousness of her peril: "Quick, bring out the line!" and boldly breasted the breakers and swam out to save his love.
 It was a mighty effort, but he sue ceeded in reaching her at last, though not until Madge's presence of mind had quite deserted her. Once she had gone down, and now as he caught her she clutched at him frantically, mad ly., and her arms twined themselves like serpents about his throat. He could not breathe, he could not shake her off, and so the two went down to- getber.
 His strength was going from him. Were they both to perish miserably because of his dear loves momentary madness. her wild and frantic clutch? There was but one way to save her ito be cruel was now most kind!

IOHN MARSHALL HARLAN, asso- J ciate justice of the supreme court, father of Interstate Commerce Com missioner James s. Harlan, Dr. Rich ard Harlan and John Maynard liar Ian of Chicago, the other day com p'eted 30 years service upon the high est judicial bench in this country. Al though Justice Harlan has reached the age of "A, or four years beyond the voluntary retiring period, physically and mentally he is well preserved and from choice will remain upon the bench several years more.
 Six feet two in height, with the erectness and vigor of much young CT man, Justice Harlan smiled kindly when asked concerning his plans of retirement, and said he had nothing to add to his statement made when last questioned on the subject. At that time he said that he had made no definite plan. He could have re- tired on full pay on June 1, 1903. He has been tempted to retire by the thought that, free from his judicial du ties, he could give his undivided time to the completion of certain work he has in hand. He is deterred. how

three out of five today" when in reality they had. done nothing of the kind. The president doesn't charge men of this kind with telling false hoods, for he states simply that they eliminate from the reckoning certain misses which because of the extreme difficulties of the case were not to be accounted as misses.
 The tendency of some sportsmen, ac- cording to the presidents view, is to count as chances only those in which there was a perfectly fair prospect of hitting the game. A quick shot at a deer disappearing at bound into the forest at a distance of 150 or 200. yards is not counted as miss at all times by all sportsmen.
 The presidents record, however, takes account of all missing misadven- lures, and as result his list of hits is not so formidable n are tho asts of hits of some othea

CHAMPION RIFLE SHOT IS MADE AID TO PRESIDENT

IEUT. THOMAS HOLCOMB, JR., l. of the marine corps, has been ap- pointed to the position of aid to the president. This marine officer is the champion rife shot of the world, a fact which almost unquestionably won him the White House place.
 It is not at all without the range of possibilities that President Roosevelt will take his new aid down into Vir- ginia with Him some day and there attempt to beat him at target practice. It may interest sportsmen and some people who are not sportsmen to know that the president keeps a record of his hits and misses when he is in the field after big game. It is an ac- curate record and no miss is omitted. no matter how hard the shot was or how hard were the conditions of shooting.

DeArmond concluded with extreme wisdom, so opinion goes, not to con test the Democratic leadership with John Sharp Williams of Mississippi MT DeArmond is grave, retiring and taciturn. However, he is not at all retiring when some one is needed on the Democratic firing line. He won't be the leader this year, and, though probably his hopes are high. it seems extremely likely that he won't be the leader when the Mississippian retires from the house two years hence.
 John Sharp Williams, so it is said, is bent on having two years in which to study and rest up' before he enters the United States senate. Sen ator Moneys term does not expire until 1911, when Representative Will Hams will take his place in the upper house.

And-doctor orders alike unheeded and unremembered-he sat up in bed and eagerly tore open the envelope.
 This is what he read:
 MT Challoner: They tell me you saved my life. cannot think so. I know I was in danger I thought you had come to help me and for one moment I regarded you as my savior. Then with a hardness of which a brute would be in- capable, you struck me in the face. You coward Your pretended solicitude is useless now. I shall never forget. I hope never to see your face again.
 MARGARET WINTHROP.
 Everitt read it and whistled softly to himself.
 Well, what are you going to do?" he asked presently.
 I'm going to see her." said Chal- loner, already half out of bed.
 No, you're not-not tonight" said Everitt, pushing him back again You can't force your way into her room when she refuses to see you. Wait un- til to-morrow-she can't avoid you then. Besides, by tomorrow she'll see things in a more reasonable light"
 Then give me paper, a card, any thing" and Challoner wrote:
 You do not understand. Let me see you and explain. It is not as you think. Nothing could be more unjust, more cruel than your letter. Don't judge me harsh ly until you hear my explanation, and then I pray you will forgive me-"
 Five minutes later this same note was returned to Percival Challoner, and below was added just these words: Forgive you? Neyer!"
 It was nearly daylight before Chal- loner fell into an uneasy sleep. He awoke about noon to learn that Mar garet Winthrop and her aunt had called to inquire as to his condition.
 Notwithstanding the doctors orders Challoner hurried into his cothes, and, although his head ached badly, made his way to Miss Winthrop's home.
 Everitt had been there before him, and after lengthy intercession and ex- planation of his friends seeming cruelty in striking her, and showing her that to that one blow she could lay her present existence, the fact dawned upon her that she was entirely wrong and that she owed her life to the heroism of Percival Challoner.
 Margaret flushed and half arose from her chair as he entered. Mar. garet, dear" he said, surely you are not angry? You were in danger of death and what did was only to save the girl I loved"
 She had turned away from him and he could not see her face. She made no reply He caught her hand and raised it to his lips.
 T did not mean to offend you" he said sadly. You will not send me way?"
 "Never," she breathed.
 He caught her in his arms, and with her fair head pillowed against his shoulder, she smiled up at him, trem- ulous, sweet smile

With Williams as the leader the Democrats will go along as they have gone along under his leadership in the past, rowing occasionally among themselves and not infrequently get ting bitterly angry with their leader, but in the end submitting and fol- lowing the Mississippian as submis- sively as they have followed him at the outset.
 There are Democrats who hold that DeArmond of Missouri is an abler man than Mir Williams He certainly is an abler lawyer, but the man from Mississippi knows the arts and sci ences as few mere laymen know them, and the books that he hasn't read are unread of most men.

And as they rose above the surface of the waters, he raised his hand and struck the girl he loved and would have given his life to save. upon her white, shuddering, upturned face.
 Slowly, laboriously, with his dear, unconscious burden, Challoner made his way in toward the shore. The way seemed endless now, but help was coming; he heard the encouraging shouts of those who held the rope and were swimming out to meet them. Nearer and nearer they came; his strength was failing fast, but by sheer force of will he kept it until the res cuers had come, until the shore was reached, until he had given his loves unconscious form into the arms of her weeping aunt And then, in the act of turning away, Challoner fell lifeless at their feet.
 As luck would have it, that day Tom Everitt came down to see how his friend was getting along, and he was just alighting at the door when Percival Challoner was carried in in- sensible.
 When Challoner came to his senses and saw Everitt sitting beside him he experienced no wonderment; it all seemed the most natural thing in the world
 How is she?" were his first words. tremulous with terrible anxiety.
 "All right again" was the reassur- ing reply.
 Thank Godi" Challoner murmured, and Eyeritt marveled to see tears stealing from under his friends closed eyelids.
 But in moment Challoner dashed them away, opened his eyes wide, smiled and attempted to sit up.
 Everitt kept him down with a strong hand.
 No, you don't" said he The doc tors coming back presently and he left strict orders that you were not to be allowed even to sit up until to- morrow
 But old fellow, I must! You don't know
 T can guess,'' said Everitt dryly. But there's no need to get up on that account. Miss Winthrop is none the worse for her late experience, but I hear she will not leave her room again today"
 Challoner was silent for a moment, then he said:

 Anything in reason, old man."
 Then go and order by telephone three dozen American Beauties-do it now and they'll be down on the six o'clock train. And give me sheet of paper and pencil. I won't sit fore the doctor comes and forbids me doing it.
 But no answer came to Challoner's S note of solicitous inquiry, and he pass ed restless afternoon. At night the roses came, and Everitt himself had to see that they were promptly delivered. Half an hour later, as he sat in Chal loner's room reading by dim lamplight there was knock, and Everitt went to the door.
 What is it?" asked Challoner lan- guidly.
 "1t's-it's those confounded roses and a motel"

Policeman Victorino Fernandez
testified that he heard the shooting
and as he ran down from his home
he was summoned to the Tillman
saloon, where he found the bar

his opinion that the man had been
killed by Negro soldiers. He said
he had seen no soldiers that night,
as most of the shooting was over
before he got down town.
Senator Foraker called attention
to the testimony before the citi-
