Farmers Mishap That Stopped Travel
on a French Highway.
A curious incident is reported from
st. Prieure,. near 'Chambery, where
two colonies of bees in state
of insurrection have routed ev-
erybody from the neighhorhloood and
are still masters of the road.
The cure of a neighboring place,
accompanied by farmer, came to
take possession of two beehives,
which the farmer loaded on cart
drawn by two oxen. Halfway home
one of the hives fell Off the cart and
was broken UP. The bees on being
liberated attacked the farmer with
fury and stung him so violently that
the poor man tainted and fell on the
road. The cure came to his rescue,
but in his hurry rGs:-t the other hive,
from which the 0">:: SO escaped and
attacked him in rurn.
Workmen from the fields round
about heard the cries and rescued
both men, who had to be carried to a
house and attended by doctor.
Meanwhile the bees attacked the OK
Ell and stung them so fercely that
the two beasts started on mad race
down the road and were finally stop
ped by q woman, who In turn vas
surrounded not only by the bees Of
the first two hives but apparently by
all the bees in the neighborhood, and
had herself to be rescued BY the VIII
layers. -a
So savage have the bees become
that the highway Is st.n said to be
In their possession, AID the inhabit-
ants have to be well protected to ven.

the London Goldsmiths Company are their
lineal descendants. The city companies
were first formed for the distinct pur-
pose of operating as "close corporations"

in the early days for practically every
branch of industry. In a measure each
company was species of trust In it's

Speaking of the tin plate workers, 1t
might be mentioned that they claim to
be the oldest trading company or guild In
the world, as they say the PhOenicians,
who came to England in search of tin 300

The enormous incomes of the London
city companies are derived mainly from
property in houses and lands mostly sit

quiring these sites hundreds of years ago,
the value has increased by leaps and
bounds. For instance, some OF the prop
erty adjoining that on which the Gold
smiths Hall stands. near the London
general post office, was recently sold at
the enormous price of $12,5OO,OO0 per
acre

year.
The twelve principal city companies
alone have an income of 900 year.
In addition to these, there are twelve
minor companies. each with large in

smaller companies. Among the minor

Justice. whose career we have seen.
Harlan was brought by Hayes from
Kentucky. where he was republican lead
err and where he had served on the bench
as county judge and where he was a
man of prominence. his party having
nominated him once for Congress and
twice for governor. as wei as indorsing
him for Vice President. He was a Union
colonel in the civil war and his name
was before the Senate for confirmation
as a br!gadier general when his father
died and he had to resign from the army.
Otherwise he would doubtless be today
retired major general of regulars.
He was but forty-four when he ascend
ed the Supreme bench. where he has re-
manned for thirty-one years. or eleven
years longer than the chief justice. HIS
christening was somewhat prophetic. for
he is the namesake of John Marshall,
the great chief justice.

Harrison appointed Justice Brewer
from Kansas, where he had served as
district attorney and Judge of the county.

circuit courts. He was born in Smyrna,
Asia Minor. where his father was mis-
sionary, and his mother was the sister OF
both Cyrus w. Field who laid the At
lantic cable, and Stephen J. Field. who
served on the United States Supreme
Court thirty-four years and thus broke
the record for tenure. Justice Brewer
and his uncle sat on the bench together
for eight years.
Justice White was appointed by Cleve-
land from Louisiana, where he had been

Companies Appoint Lord Mayor.
The city companies exercise absolute
sway over what is known as the city OF
London proper. The city companies
each year appoint from among their own
members the lord mayor. He is not elect
ed by the citizens of London or appointed
by the crown. but is simply elected by the
various ''liverymen" of the city compa-
MES mentioned. The lord mayor receives
$4,000 a year by way of salary-equal to
that Of the President of the United States
and SO great Is his power that not even
the sovereign has the right to enter his
precincts without his permission. This Is
why, each year, the newly appointed LORD
mayor meets the sovereign at the western
boundary of the city-now the Griffin In
Fleet street. just facing the law courts
formerly Temple Bar')-and here any
royal procession must stop while obtain
ing the formal permission of the iord
mayor to enter the sacred city boundary:
The king or queen receives from the loro
mayor at Temple Bar the official sword OF
the city, but they always hand it back to
him in token of his superiority within the
city.

history of the city companies. These
companies are great sticklers in the mat
ter of formality and precedence, and
they have in the past had some very IA
nous quarrels over these matters. For
many years a sort of civil war went on
between the "Worshipful Company of the
SINNERS and the "Worshipful Company
of Merchant Tailors'' as to which was

ter of precedence. The affair was finally
settled by a lord mayor-a sort Of civic

Will be taken up. The court will then
adjourn to call formally upon the Presi-
dent, as it always does on the first day of
a new session. The call will be made in
ordinary street garb. and. according to
custom. each justice will be accompanied
by his body servant, who will sit on the
box of his carriage, alongside the coach
man.
Quill pens. such as used by the court a
century ago, are upon the desks reserved
within the rail for counsel. and many law
yers practicing before the court prefer
these to the finest gold pens An en-
ploye of the court is regularly charged
with the purchase and daily sharpening
of these quilts.
Each new justice Of the coming admin
istration will be inaugurated in an old
robe. This is another old custom rei-
giously adhered to. A woman makes each
new robe, and the price is bly,
500. 1t is made of large. straight widths
of black silk with a narrow hem at the
bottom, a broad yoke with a deep scallop
at the back, and full sleeves a yard wide.
When new member of the court is
sworn in, the chief justice will call upon
the clerk to read the appointee's commits
sion, after which the clerk will also ad-
minister the oath, the new justice kissing
the antique Bible. which has been used
for this purpose for more than a century.

died in harness.
If the office of chief Justice becomes va
cant before 1912 the next President will
have the filing of the biggest berth which
can come within the gift of the chief ex-
ecutive one that has not been givable in
twenty years. Chief Justice Fuller has
now been on the bench SO long that the
public has forgotten the widespread crit
icism aroused by President Cleveland S
appointment of him at the end of that
chief executives first term. This criticism
was based chiefly upon the fact that Full

councilman and city solicitor of his birth

Chicago, where he practiced law and en-
tered politics. being a delegate to four
democratic national conventions. His only
public service had been as member of the
Illinois constitutional convention. back in
80, and as member of the legislature
from 90 to '65. Since the civil war he
had quietly practiced law and taken a
small hand in politics. But he was un-

upon this third highest office in the land.
Many think that Elihu Root stands
good chance for it. if Taft has the giving.
and If Bryan has it to fill the intimation

George Gray of Delaware. The salary
amounts to 1915 per month, SYST per
day. big lawyer often makes more
than its annual lump of $4,000 by sign
ing his name once, and it is said that
Fuller gave up an income four times as
great to become chief justice. But his
present salary keeps the wolf from the

be no docking of a fraction on retire

supplies private secretary at $1,6OO a
