Chief justice FULLER
IN SEVENTY.FIFTH YEAR
Celebrates Birthday Anniversary To-
day.-No Thought Of Retiring
From Supreme Court.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Chief Justice
Fuller of the United States supreme
court entered upon his seventy-fifth
year today. Although he has been
eligible for retirement for four years
so far as his friends know he has at
no time since he reached the age OF
seventy seriously considered taking ad-
vantage of the privilege. He appar-
entlv is in good health, and enjoys
Washington life. For man of his age
he is well preserved. and the prevail
ing opinion here is that unless his
health fails him. he will certainly re
main on the bench until after the next
presidential election.
Chief Justice Fuller is a democrat,
and though he is compelled by prece-
dent and good taste to keep out of
politics, he is yet stanch party man
and would leave no stone unturned to
see his successor man of the same
political faith as himself. II Theodore
Roosevelt is succeeded by democrat
as president, barring i'll health, Chief
Justice Fuller will likely not retire be
fore March 4, 1909, at which time he
will be seventy-six years of age. By
pursuing such a course the chief jus
tice would have the pleasure of seeing
his successor a democrat.
At the present time there is but
one member of the supreme court elig
ible to retirement besides Chief Justice
Fuller. This is Associate Justice Har
Ian. He is only three months the jun
ior OF the chief Justice, but he Is q
giant physically. and seemingly in the

CHARLES HANnORD
DRAWS GOOD HOUSE

A fair audience greeted the appear
ance OF Charles Hanford In Julius
Caesar at the Duncan opera house
Saturday night and no one present was
disappointed with the performance.
The costumes and stage settings were
excellent and the play Itself was one
of the best Of the season and easily led
any Shakespearean performance that
has been given here for some time.
Hanford played Mark Anthony in an
exceptionally pleasing manner, but
many thought that Cassius rendered
his part equally as we'll. The company
was extremely well balanced.

Although the attractlyeness "f the

participated In and enjoyed quite
heartily by all present.
DR. Blair's address on te subject:
Practical Christianity" was most ably
presented and listened to with inten:e
interest by the men. DIR. Blair empha-
sized the strength and manliness OF
the character OF Christ, and the perfect
adaptability OF his teachings to the
practical. everyday problems of the
life of every man. He pictured quite
forcibly the need of all men OF th.
Strengthening ant guiding Influence of
the religion of Jesus Christ. and urge
of the opportunity to ally themselves
lof the opportunity to ally themselves
with this greatest OF forces. He in.
dulged in no fights of oratory nor af.
fecting appeals to the emotions, hut
by plain. straightforward, earnest rea-
soning, presented the claims of Christ
upon the allegiance of every man and
the practical results to be attaired
by such an allegiance.
That his arguments were logical and
met with the endorsement of his hear
ers was evident from their c,rcfrl
attention and the standing of thirty or
more men at the close. to bespeak the
prayers of Christian people that the
Influence of Christ might predominate
their lives.

and varied experience, and is recog-
nized among the preachers of his own
denomination as a man OF marked
force and ability He is at present SIP.
