about ninety inches and trees grow
to large size; in the central plateau,
the precipitation is less than fifteen
inches, including the melted snow,
and the average size of timber is

impossible, and those vast tundras are
covered chiefly with moss, sedges and
a few small shrubs.

Bar Harbor, Me.-Chief Justice Mel
Supreme court died from heart failure
at his summer home in Sorrento at
six o'clock Monday morning.
The death of the chief magistrate
was unexpected, as he had been in
fairly good health la,e1y, and there
had been no premonitory symptoms of
any kind of trouble. Sunday he at
tended church as usual, and when he
retired at night he was to all appear
ances in his customary health.
Death came about six o'clock Mon
day morning. His daughter, Mrs. Ma
thaniel Francis, and Rev. James b..
Freeman, who was a guest of Justice
Main Stay" were with the jurist
when he died.
The funeral services will be held at
Sorrento and the int. 4nent will be at
Chicago.
For many years the chief justice had
spent his summers at Sorrento, a
summer colony located on French
mans bay, five miles from Bar Har-
Dor.
A Great American.
To Chief Justice Fuller fell the
honor of third rank for length of serv-
ice as presiding justice in the high
est tribunal of the American govern
ment.
For % years he was chief justice
of the Supreme court of the United
States Chief Justice Marshall pre-
sided over the court for 81 years and
Chief Justice fancy for % years.
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
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 1883 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 heresy. His
knowledge of ecclesiastical history
and procedure astonished those who
conducted the case, and his argument
of the cause of the bishop before the
supreme court of Illinois is referred to
still as forensic effort seldom if ever
surpassed in that court.
He was a delegate to the national
conventions of the Democratic party
in 1854, 1872, 1876 and 1880.
The nomination of Mr.. Fuller, then
fifty-five years of age, was followed by
a memorable contest in the senate.

and was bending over the wife, who
was hurt and hysterical from fright.
The vehicle was overturned in the
street, smashed, and the horse gone

driver whipped up his horse and has

see what mischief he had done.
