Governor Hughes of New York,
whom President Taft has named for
the Supreme bench, is to fill the va
cancy caused by the death Of Justice
Brewer of Kansas Justice Brewer was
the second of his family to serve with
Chief Jsutice Fuller in the capacity
of associate justice. Stephen j. Field,
whom Justic McKenna Of San Fran
cisco succeeded in 1897 was his uncle.
Others who have been members of the
court since Fuller was appointed by
President Cleveland are Joseph p.
Bradley of New Jersey, Stanley
Mathews of Ohio Horace Gray of
Massachusetts, Samuel Blatchford Of
New York, Lucius @. G. Lamar of Mis-
sissippi Henry B. Brown of Michigan,
Chief Justice Fuller is the oldest
member of the court though Justice
Harlan, who is the oldest in point of
service, having been a member since
the Hayes administration of thirty
three years ago, is a close second. The
baby of the court, William Henry
Moody is 81, while the other four
range in age from 81 to 50, so the
court is a living eXemplifcation that
old men are for counsel.
The honor and responsibility Of
naming the chief justice of this high
tribunal is given to comparatively few
Presidents. In the 100 years which
have passed since the Supreme Court
held it's first session in the Exchange
of the City of New York, Feb 4, 1890,
twenty-six men have served. as Presi-
dent of the United States, but there
have been only eight men to serve as
chief justice. John Jay, John Rut-

shall, Roger Brooke Taney, Salmon P.
Chase, Morrison r. Waite and Melville
Weston Fuller form the distinguished
list. Marshall served the longest term,

gether covered a period of sixty-three
eventful years.
In 1890 the centenary of the Su-
preme Court was celebrated with fit
ting ceremony in New York, the city
where it first sat. At that celebration
Edward S. Phelps said of this tribu-
nal: Judges will be appointed and
will pass. One generation rapidly sue
ceeds another, But whoever comes and

ing alive through many century we
shall not see, the light that burns with

STORY OF AMERICAN SAILOR,
Heartrending Scenes When Rela-
tives and Friends Attempted to
Rescue the Victims.

"Alf' Jorgenson, second mate of the
American ship Atlas, in port from the
far east, Is back in his native land
after an absence Of three years, with
thrilling narrative OF his experieH
during that time, says the New Hoi.
Evening Telegram Jorgonson halls
from Seattle and shipped on sailing
vessel from San Francisco three years
ago. He landed in the Philippines and
there attached himself to one OF the
numerous coast guard steamers main
tanned by the government to patrol the
coasts Of the islands and keep down
tho piratical Moros, whose main de-
sire in life is to murder the pearl
divers and destroy the native indus
tries of the Philippines.
After a year on various coast guard
steamers doing patrol duty" said
young Jorgenson to-day, Il was trans
ferred to the Basilian, also a coast
guard vessel, which, however, had
been detailed to transfer lepers from
the various ports of the PHILIPPINES to
Culuon island. For three months we
transferred hundreds Of the lepers TO
the isolation pen on Culuon.
while the American officers used
every kindness and gentleness in the
work Of taking away the unfortunates
from the villages and towns to the
lonely island, they often had to use
force to prevent rescues by friends
and relatives. Sometimes the scenes
we're heartrending when families had
to be separated because there was no
room for the lepers to take their kin
to Culuon.
In many instances the Moros, un-
der the pretext Of assisting the friends
and relatives of the lepers, would at
tack us, and on one occasion a nu-
merous force surrounded the Basilian,
but were repulsed,
AS leprosy is not contagious to the
European or American, none of us

One at Padua That Was Wonder
of Mechanism.
It was, we are told, in 1909 that the
first clock known to the world was
placed in the tower of San Eustargio,
in Milan
The greatest astonishment and ad-
miration were manifested by crowds
who docked to see the timepieCe. In
1874 "a clock was installed in the pal
ace of the mobiles at Padua. This was
a wonder of mechanism indeed, for be-
sides indicating the hours it showed
the course of the sun, the revolutions
of the planets the various phases of
the moon, the months and the fetes
Of the year.
The period Of the evolution from the
clock to the watch was seventy-one
years-not so very long, all things con.
sidered-and the record of the first
watch is 1880 A half century later
an alarm clock made its appearance.
This, we are told, was looked upon
by the people of that age as "un in
strument prodigieuX."
The fortunate possessor Of this clock
was Andrea Alciato, a councillor Of
Milan. The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded a
bell at a stated hour, and at the same
time little wax candle was lighted
automatically How this was done we
are not told, but it must not be over.
looked that until about seventy years
ago we had no means Of obtaining a
