MONED BY GRIM REAPER.
For Twenty-Five Years He Was Pre-.

Bar Harbor, Me.--Chief Justice Mel
vile w. Fuller of the United States
supreme court, died of heart failure at
his summer home in Sorrento at
O'Clock Monday morning, July 4.
The death Of the chief justice was
entirely unexpected, as he had been in
apparently good health lately and
there had been no premonitory symp-
toms of any kind of trouble. On Sun
day he attended church as usual and
when he retired at night he was to
all appearances in his customary
health
To Chief Justice Fuller fell the
honor of third rank for length of SER
vice as presiding justice in the high
est tribunal of the American govern
ment. For twenty-five years he was
chief justice Of the supreme court Of
the United States, but Chief Justice
Marshall presided over the court for
thirty-four years and Chief Justice

Before Grover Cleveland sent his
name to the senate on April 80, 1888,
for confirmation as chief justice, he
was practically unknown except to
members of the legal profession.
In Maine, where he was born on
February II, 1888, he had been known
as well behaved, rather scholarly

and incidentally, there won most of

Get After the Files,

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at.
tack them and prevent the breeding
OF millions from the few hundreds that
already exist
Perhaps the most effective method
OF destroying flies Is by burning
pyrethrum in each room. This stuns
the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers of dis.
ease and an enemy of humankind Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health OF your
community.

This city was given a wintry appear
met at the first real snow storm of the
season today. Up to noon about five
inches had fallen and 1t caused no lit
tie trouble to the Public Service Cor
poration, the telephone and telegraph
companies and drivers Of horses.
At the beginning of the snow fall
yesterday afternoon pavements in ev,
cry section of the city grew slippery
and long stretches of them were made
ever more so by school children sliding
on them. Hundreds of horses fell down
in many parts of the city and many
of them were injured. One, belonging
to w. II. Mccormick & Sons, was SO
badly hurt, that it had to be shot. Pa
trolman Nels Tonneson shot it, and as
sisted others to their feet.
In addition to hindering transit the
snow fall has stopped or hindered much
outside work on new buildings and
along the local shores. Most work on
new buildings is at a "standstill, pend
