IS A FAMOUS JUR|ST
Personal Characteristics Of John
Marshall Harlan.
Venerable Kentuckian Who Recently
Celebrated the 18th Anniversary
Of His Birth Has Had
Brilliant Career.

Washington.-yhe disseeting opin-
ions which Justice Harlan, OF the SUI
preme court, rendered In the constru-
ing OF the Sherman law In the Stand
ard Oil and Tobacco cases have
brought this veteran jurist prominent.
ly before the public The justice was
rs years old the other day and is still
strong and rugged. with every mental
faculty unimpaired. He has been on
the Supreme court more than a third
of a century. During 80 years and 6
months he has absented himself from
the bench less than 20 days. He was
born in Boyle county. Kentucky, June
1, 1888. President Hayes appointed
him November 20, 1877.
Twenty years ago Justice Harlan
purchased half of city block on a
hill overlooking Washington, and
there built fine. old-fashioned. ram
bling home of brick, with wide
porches. When he took possession an
unobstructed view Of the city below
and the absence Of noise and the COM
motion of city life made the spot ideal
for the home OF a Justice.
Although he is in the midst of the
city today, he manages TO keep about
the house the atmosphere of the coun.
try. The trees which he planted in
the side. front and rear yards have
grown to maturity. A great hedge
