Washington, Oct. 25.-The an
nouncement of the death of Justice
Peckham, while expected, came as a
shock to his associates on the bench
and in official circles.
Justice Peckham was a Democrat
and before taking a seat on the bench
gave considerable attention to politics
in New York. He was born in AL
bany, N. Y, November 8, 1888, and
had been on the bench, state and fed
eral, for twenty-six years. He came
from the court of appeals of his ma.
tive state.
Mr.. Peckham's first Office was that
of district attorney of Albany county
He was elected to that position in
1868. He afterwards became in sue.
cession, corporation counsel for AL.
bany, member of the supreme court
of the state, and associate justice of
the state court of appeals. He was
the last of President Cleveland's Dem.
ocratic appointees to the federal SUI.
preme court. Chief Justice Fuller and
Justice White being the other two. He
took his seat in January, 1896.
Gave Entire Time to Duties.
His chief distinction was that of Civ
ing his time exclusively to the duties
of the court. He accepted no outside
appointments and undertook no work
not connected with the high tribunal.
He was in constant attendance on the
court, and gave the most careful at
tention to all matters before it. He
was married, but went little into So
ciety. He accepted no invitations to
public functins and made no public
addresses after taking his seat as a
justice.
Cases involving corporations re-
ceived special consideration at Justice
Peckham's hands, and he was the au-
thor of some of the courts most note
worthy opinions along this line.
Several of Mr.. Peckham's corpora
ton decisions dealt with the Sherman
antitrust law in its application to rail-
roads. These included the joint traffic
and transmissouri cases, in both of
which he held the law to be applicable.
The justices are so closely bound to-
gether by common ties that the pass
ing of any one of them is sorely felt.
There was genuine mourning yester-
day among those with whom the late
jurist had served so long, and this ex-
tends to the employees of the supreme
court.

ITO, JAPANESE LEADER
KILLED BY KOREAN

Tokyo, Oct. 26-News has been re-
ceiyed here that Prince Ito, the fam
GUS Japanese statesman, has been as
sassinated by a Korean at Harpln'
Manchuria.
The news was received at Tokyo at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Inc
dis patch contained only the BRIEF an
nouncement that Prince Ito had been
assassinated. 1t has caused great grief
and CONSERVATION.
Prince Hirobumi Ito was perhaps
the greatest statesman OF New Japan.
The achievement with which his name
has been chiefly associated In the
minds of Occidentals was the framing
of the imperial constitution, by virtue
of which Japan took her place for the
first time in the rank of modern CIV
ilized states.
AS the emperor's trusted adviser
and the medium through which the
state was placed on a constitutional
basis, he must be regarded as one OF
the positive factors which have helped
to win for japan her present standing
among the nations.
Prince Ito was 6S years of age. 1t
was in 1868 that he made his celebrat-
ed pilgrimage to England, at a time
when it was against the law of the
country to go abroad, and the penalty
of infringement was death. Neverthe-
less, inspired by patriotic feeling and
a desire to learn the secret of Occi-
dental supremacy, he undertook the
trip which proved so beneficial to his
country later on.
To Meet Russian Minister.
Prince Ito, who was president of the
privy council of Japan, left Tokyo Oc-
tober 16 for tour of Manchuria. He
was to have arrived at Hardin today
(Tuesday), where he was to have met
NJ. Kokovsoff, Russian minister of
finance The conference, it was said,
was at the behest of Japan and Rus
STA. Foreign diplomats have attached
great Importance to it, although the
exact motives impelling Japan to pro-
pose the conference were not known.
The subjects to be discussed were
not stated in the Japanese Overtures
and M. Kokovsoff, it was said, had
barred political questions. He said
that he was competent to discuss only
financial and technical subjects.
In some quarters it was believed the
tour of Prince Ito was to have been
political, and that it had as basis an
attempt to forestall the protests of the
powers against Russian domination of
the Manchurian railroad zone under
her agreement with China by effecting
complete understanding between
Japan and China. 1t has been stated
that China had sent several high Off
Gals to Hardin to confer with Prince
Ito.
Prince Ito passed Saturday and Sun
day at Mukden, where he had confer
ences with Hsi LANG, the viceroy.
Visited United States in 1870.
Prince Ito visited the United States
gate the financial and banking sys-
TENS. On his return to Japan he was
appointed vice minister of public
works. In 1880 he negotiated with Lii
Hung Chang on the Korean question,
and concluded the treaty which form
ed the basis of Japan's justification
for her war with China in 1894 Later
he negotiated a treaty of peace with
China and at the close of the war was
made a marquis.

ably well adapted for this purpose is
bronze grass, though it is not really
well adapted to quite the conditions
found in the drifting sands along the
Columbia. Of the grains, the most
feasible crop for such conditions is
rye. 1t makes a very quick growth
and will produce a large amount Of
vegetation with less water than any
of the other cereals. This, as you may

sYMPATHY.

An instructor in home economics in
the Women's College of Pennsylvania
has undertaken TO teach the farmers
wives how to cook cheaply Entirely
unnecessary, 50 far as most farmers
wives are concerned. They don't have
TO pinch the number of eggs when
making a cake or use only a little dab
Of butter when the recipe calls for
cupfull or milk there is also plenty.
In these three essentials. therefore,
economy has no place when IL comes
to providing for the farm table. If
there are eggs there must be chickens.
and no professor. male or female. can
equal the farmers wife in the west or
south in frying the same. Economy
doesn't cut any figure in this respect,
either And so on down the line.
There is a great deal of gush in these
days about the "uplift" of the farmer.
and a commission has made flying
trip throughout the length and breadth
Of the land for the purpose of bringing
the tiilers Of The soil UP to a higher
plane so-called. That the farmers
wives should also receive much atten-
ton from the dwelIers I'm cities and the
college professors Is not surprising I'M
der the circumstances. But the efforts
are wasted. The average American
farmer works hard, but ne lives well
and he possesses intelligence. If the
college professors think the food on the
farm is too coarse, it would be well to
bear in mind the fact that your Uncle
Reuben could not chase a pillow around
a forty-acre field ali day on diet Of
angel food.
The problem of today is how To earn
money enough to buy sufficient food
for families in the towns and cities at
present prices. The farmer and the
farmers wife will get along all right
without any assistance or suggestions.

Disc OF CASTRO.

x
Now that Castro belongs to the past,
so far as Venezuela is concerned.
many interesting stories are being told
regarding his rise to power and fame.
1t seems the former dictator is a ma
tive of the mountain country and that
he was backed in all his political en-
terprises by the hardy sons of hill and
glen who have the same contempt for
the dwellers upon the plains and rich
valleys as the hfghlanders of Scotland
entertained for his lowland eountrymen
in the good old days when cattle steal
ing was q trade, if not profession.
How Castro finally came to grief is told
by a correspondent as follows:
1t had been the long honored Gus
tom of the Cristoval frontiersman to
avoid the tax collector. When this OBJ
noxious individual made his appear
ance on the Venezuelan side. Castro
and his worthy neighbors would drive
their cattle into Colombia and let them
browse about and rustic until that
unfortunate functionary, firing of
frontier fare, would return to the near
est semi~civilized town.
when the Colombian tax collector
appeared on his side of the border the
proceedings of the tax dodgers were
simply reversed. For the purpose of
defrauding these enemies of cattle men
the world over there certainly existed
a treaty of amity and good feeling be
tween the border men of Colombia
and Venezuela.
But a day of reckoning dawned
when the collectors of the two coun-
tries conspired and appeared on the
border at the same time. accompanied
BY a considerable military force. Cas-
tro's range was cleaned up by the Ven
ezuelan police and the horrid political
story got into circulation, which will
not down. that there were forty-one
separate and distinct brands found on
the launches of his cattle.
BE that as it may. the valuable herd
was eonfiscated and Castro, having left
to him no other means of livelihood,
raised the standard of revolt"
The Castro game of lodging the tax
collector reads very like an account of
happenings in the western states in
this country. where many a time and
oft cattle and sheep have been driven
from one county to another or across
a state line and back again for the pur-
pose of avoiding the assessor. The
Venezuelan tax dodger and rustIer was
rounded up and stripped of his posses
sions. however. without any replevin
suits. injunctions, pleas in abatement
or other legal OF illegal device being
employed to save his iIl-gotten wealth.
That he became a revolutionist was
perfectly natural under the cireum-
stances. and it is not strange that he
should have succeeded when backed by
the 'hieisnders" of the South Ameri-
can republic.
The story of the rise and fall of Cas-
tro will form a dramatic and interest
ing chapter in the history of Vene-
zuela.
