There is something in a handshake.
after all was the remark of Judge
Alexander r. Mullowny one day last
week after he had been touched for
dollar.
Many friends of the judge had told him
of the Indifferent manner in which he
grasped hands of friends when he met
them and advised him that it would be
better not to shake hands at all rather
than extend his hand in such mechani-
cal sort of way.
when you shake the hand of a friend"
he was told by Mr. Campbell Darlington,
while they were on their way to an up
town hotel to enjoy dinner together, do
SO as II you had some meaning.
1t so happened that the men parted for
few minutes before reaching the hotel.
Judge Mullowny going ahead and taking
seat in the dining room. A stranger
was seated at the table. but he recog-

Here's my opportunity to give the I'M
proved handshake thought the judge as
he extended his hand. and he shook the
hand of the stranger as he had never done
the hand Of friend
In addition to the hearty shake of the
hand his speech was particularly cordial,
and the judge felt that he had done him

when the man at the table leaned over and
requested the loan of dollar. Thinking
the request for a loan was the direct re-
suit Of his cordial greeting Judge Null
lowry concluded he would not be so easily
worked. and he said he did not happen to
have dollar
But" he said, II have friend who
will be here in few minutes and know
he will have some change.
Sure enough, his friend did reach the no.
tel In few minutes and the hotel lounger
got the dollar
And" said the judge when the stranger
had departed, you've paid for the reform
you effected but no more hearty hand
shakes and cordial greetings fo6me'

in paying respect to one of our public men
than was accorded Chief Justice Chase, who
died over thirty years ago. said an old
resident to a Star reporter. THE day of
his death a trial was in progress before a
Justice of the peace at his office, the site
of which is now included in that of the
National Bank of Washington. The coun-
sci were in the midst of a heated argument,
during which the authorities pro and con
were read from the many books they had
arranged for the battle royal. From the
street was heard the cry, Extra Star; death
of Chief Justice Chase"' and the magistrate
men, He walked to the door, called the
newsboy, and returned to his desk ana
said: This court has just been informed,
through the medium of the press, that the
chief Justice of the United States has died.
and Is called upon to take notice of that
melancholy occurrence. The court knows
that 1t Is true. for here is the announce
ment in The Evening Star, and it gives the
particulars of his demise. 1t would be very
improper when we hear of such an event
as the death of the head of the judiciary
of the nation. of which this court is part,
for it to continue in session. Therefore the
hearing in this case will be suspended, and

reached many of the citizens. respect had
been shown and the justice had made record
