The Appointment Of Gov. HUGHES.

The announcement that Governor
Hughes of New York has signified his
willingness to accept an appointment
to be d member Of the United States
gratulatory remarks than any other
incident of the TAFT administration.
Governor Hughes has often been men
| toned as ideal judiciary timber. but
the mention of his name has almost
| invariably been accompanied by an
expression of regret that he was uu-
available for such an appointment. for
political and personal reasons.
The political reasons have been that
he was looked upon as the man vital
~ necessary to the success of the Re-
publican party in the state of New
York. He has been held. and still is
held by the people of that state. as
typifyng all that is clean and best in
lies his strength.
The personal reasons which have
been 50 often noted are his depleted
private fortune and his feeling that he
ought to withdraw from public life and
resume the practice of his profession
in order to provide for his family.
1t was with these facts before him
that the President rendered the ap-
pointment to Governor Hughes That
the governor was willing to accept the
appointment is indeed cause for con-
graduation on all sides. Governor
Hughes has had Il mcteoric career for
he attracted little public notice up to
1905 His greatest successes have
been during the last five years and
were he not now withdrawing from
political activity he would be q
formidable candidate in the years tt
come for even higher office than he
now holds.
Governor Hughes was born at Gler
Falls. New York, in 1862. and begaI
his higher education at colgate INT
versity. From 1884 he practiced law
in New York; rapidly acquired place
In his profession second to none. He
leaped into the public notice in 1905 as
counsel for the Stevens Gas Commits
sion. but later was counsel for the
Armstrong Insurance commission. As
a result of his work in the great in.
surance exposure he became nation
his career has been notable and above
reproach. AS a justice of the Unitet
States Supreme Court he will con.
tlnue to bring honor to himself and his
colleagues

Australian Beef In New York.

Many Americans will be surprised
to learn that beef from Australia is
being sold in New York city in excel
lent condition and at prices lower than
beef brought from our own natural
sources of supply. The beef is
chilled, not frozen, and the process by
which it is preserved has only been
perfected within a year. Efforts to
transport such beef from Australia
and New Zealand to Great Britain
have been made at intervals during
the past Is years The first shipment
and the succeeding ones until the last
were failures because of the inade-
quate equipment of the vessels in
which the beef was shipped Last
September, however a vessel fitted
with special compartment carried
1850 quarters from Australia to Lon
don, arriving at the latter port on
November I'd and the cargo was 1ouhu
to be in excellent condition. The beet
sold in London up to nine ana one
half cents a pound for the best hind
quarters.
OF course inasrnuch as the vessel in
which the cargo was brought is the
only one engaged in the Australian
service, fitted with the necessary APP
pIiances, the supply of beef at such
prices is naturally very small and will
continue to be 50 until other vessels
are similarly equipped. The beef is
treated by the Finley process which
consists Of thorough sterilization prior
to shipment and during transportation
This latter feature of course involves
the installation Of d special steriliza-
ton plant and adequate facilities for
handling beef on board.
This new departure in beef supply
has raised the hopes of English
economists that Australia will even
tually be able to supply Great Britain
and drive out Argentine and Ameri-
can beef, which now control the mar
ket. Aside from patriotic induce
ments there is an additional incentive
of low prices for increasing the trade.
Australia is anxious for the business
and will without doubt increase it's
cattle business just as rapidly as
facilities for taking the beef to mar
ket are provided.
The influence on the American mar
ket will be marked. for a large part of
the foreign drain upon our cattle re-
sources will be stopped and the beef
made available for American consum-
ers. In addition there is the oppor-
tunty for introducing the Australian
beef in our markets. thereby increaS-
ing the supply with the resultant low
or prices

It Happened In Church.

A Southern clergyman tells the fol-
lowing amusing story:
After the morning sermon one Sun
day he had read the notices for the
week, and then announced the clos
ing hymn-Number so-and-so. At
that moment one of the deacons came
down the aisle, and the minister
| aused to hear what he had to say
which was that the pastor had for
aatten to give notice of a meeting of
the ladies of the congregation.
Accordingly the divine gave the no
tice'. apologized to the congregation
for his forgetfulness. and then again
the number of the hymn.
and proceeded to read it. His feelings
and those of the congregation may be
imagined when he began:
