CHIEF JUSTICE DEAD
Melville FULLER, HEAD OF U.
S. SUPREME COURT SUD-
DENLY EXPIRES.
HOLDS OFFICE FOR % YEARS
Death Comes From Heart Failure and
Was Wholly Unexpected and Re-
moves One of Most Distinguished
Members OF American Bench.

Washington, July 5.-Chief Justice
Melville Weston Fuller, for nearly
twenty-five ear the presiding Officer
Of the United States supreme court
died suddenly July 4 at his summer
home in Sorrento, Me. His death
which was wholly unexpected, was
caused by heart failure. He had been
apparently, in excellent health for the
last few days.
The death of Chief Justice Fuller
removes one of the most distin
guished members of the American
bench and a jurist whose abilities
were recognized and admired through
out the world.
1t also places in the hands of Presi
dent Taft the privilege of naming his
successor, and the opportunity to ap
point a chief justice of the United
States supreme court comes to but
few presidents.
Chief Justice Fuller was a citizen
of Chicago and a member of the bar
of that city when he was appointed to
the supreme bench by President Cleve
land, in 1883, and it is regarded in
political circles at the capital as high.
ly probable that a Chicago man
Lloyd w. Bowers, now solicitor gen.
eral of the United States-may be

suit of the death of the chief Justice

For % years he was chief justice
of the supreme court of the United

With the future rests the determine.
ton of his rank among the eight
chief justices of history for ability and
accomplishments.
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 Febru.
airy II, 1888, he had been known as
a .well-behaved, rather scholarly lad
He had gone to Bowdoin college, and
incidentally, there won most of the
prizes for elocution. He had gone
down to Harvard law school for one
year.
His Great Argument.
From 1856 to 1888 he lived in Chi
cago, but attracted little attention out
side his immediate circle Of friends
and associates at the bar until he
undertook the defense of Bishop
Cheney on a charge of herecy. His

have been issued after our train (the
Big Four Limited) left Dayton and
to have been handed to us at Carlisle
between Dayton and Middletown.
This order gave the freight till
1:07 to make the siding at Posttown,
north of Middletown.
Smith revoked that order, so that
it was not delivered to us at Carlisle,
but failed to revoke the same order
issued to the freight. Our train made

and this brought us to the Posttown

Get After the Flies.

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
case and an enemy of humankind. Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health of your
community.

of the cause of the bishop before the
supreme court of Illinois is referred to
still as a forensic effort seldom if ever

He was a delegate to the national
conventions of the Democratic party
i'll 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880.
The nomination of Mr.. Fuller, then
fifty-five years of age, was followed by
a memorable contest in the senate.
The judiciary committee, with its
Republican majority, to which the
nomination vas sent April 80, held
up the appointment until July 20.
Then the committee reported it to the
senate without recommendation"
For three hours that body debated
in executive session whether to con-
firm or reject the nomination. The
attack on MI. Fuller was led by Sena-
tors Edmunds, Evarts and Stewart,
Senators Cullom and Farwell defended
him.

Finally, by a vote of Al to 20, his
nomination was confirmed.
Since that day the entire court, as
it. then existed, has passed away with
the single exception of Justice Har-
Ian. Of those prominent in the fight
over his confirmation only Senator
Cullom remains, and President Cleve-
land, who thus honored the Illinois
lawyer, has likewise gone to his
grave.
Throughout his service Chief Justice
Fuller was noted for the dignity with
which he filed the position. He pre-

Later this was reduced to only 10000
