BAKED BEAMS BOSTON STYLE
Method In Vogue In the "Moderp

Be Improved On.

Boston has given at least one indis.
pensable dish to the culinary depart
ment Of every home where good food
is relished. Travellers have said that
there are beans and beans, but It. re-
mains for the Hub city to make Of the
homely little vegetable food fit for
the gods. To make baked beans soak
one and one-half pints small white
beans over night in soft water. In
the morning drain and parboil, but
not enough to crush the beans Place
in the bottom of bean pot several
slices Of bacon (salt or fresh pork .
then put in about half the beans, over
which sprinkle salt, heaping spoon
full of brown sugar or New Orleans
molasses, then more slices of the
bacon. Over this place the rest of
the beans, with the salt, sugar or
molasses, and bacon on top. Cover
with soft water, and bake at least
eight hours, though they are better If
baked all day. Add soft water as
needed.
Baked beans seem incomplete if
served without brown bread. To make
this old-fashioned delicacy take one
and one-half pints of sour milk, to
which should be added one cup of
baking molasses, and scant tea
spoonful of soda. Foam separately,
then add four cups graham -four. one
teaspoonful salt. Put in one pound
baking powder cans, steam two and
one-half hours and bake half hour.

George F. Parker Tells How President
Cleveland Offered the Chief JUS
ticeship to John G. Carlisle,
Before Naming Fuller.

1t has always been the popular pre-
sumption that since the time when
John Marshall was appointed chief
justice of the United States (that is
the legal title for the Office of chief
justice of the Supreme court) only one
person has ever declined the offer Of
the chief usticeship-Senator Roscoe
Conkling of New York. 1t was widely
published at the time of the incident
that President Grant had offered the
post Of chief justice to Senator Conk-
ling. The letter in which the offer
was made was preserved as one of the
choicest of the papers which came
into the possession of Senator Conk-
ling's literary executors.
But the popular belief that Senator
Conkling is the only man who ever re-
fused to become chief justice of the
United States Is erroneous, and
have for my authority for this state
ment Mr.. George F. Parker, the biog-
rapher of Grover Cleveland, a close
friend of Mr.: Cleveland's for nearly 80
years, and one Of the few friends adj
mitted into perfect intimacy with Mr.
Cleveland. Mr.. Parker not only tells
here. for the first time in print, who
the other man was who refused the
chief justiceship, but also how it came
about that Melville w. Fuller became
chief Justice Of the United States.
AFTER the death of Chief Justice
Morrison R. Waite in the latter part
Of Mr.. Cleveland's first administra-
tton," said Mr.. Parker, "Mr. Cleveland,
after giving much thought to the NOM
ination Of his successor, decided to
name John G. Carlisle for the post.
provided Mr.. Carlisle revealed a will
lingness to accept the honor. Mr.. Car
Isle. at that time, was speaker of the
house of representatives and Mr..
Cleveland had come to entertain a
very high regard for him as a parlia-
mentarian, legislator and lawyer.
Having arrived at this decision by
taking counsel wholly with himself.
Mr.. Cleveland took the first oppor.
tunity to place before the speaker of
the house his desire to place him on
the Supreme court bench, and in the
highest place on that bench. Mr.. Car.
Isle greatly appreciated the tentative
offer, but he decided that it was not
expedient for him to accept it; very
likely he had in view a political ca.
reer of different kind, one with a
vista that reached to the White house
itself. But this much is certain-had
he been willing to accept the Office
he-and not Melville w. Fuller-would
have become the country's chief JUS.

Nor, l presume, is it generally
known that after Mr.. Carlisle declined
the chief justiceship, the president for

Tale of the Supreme Court

some time seriously thought of ap-
pointing to that great Office the late
James c. Carter Of New York, then
regarded as the leader of the Ameri-
can bar, In whose office Associate
Justice Charles E. Hughes received
his first experience in active legal
practice. But finally, after he had
also seriously thought of calling Ed
ward J. Phelps home from the court
of st. James to take the post, he
turned to Melville w. Fuller of Chi
cago.
What definitely determined Mr..
Cleveland to select Mr.. Fuller for
chief justice were certain representa-
tions made to him by members of the
Supreme court. They said to him that
man, to be successful as chief JUS
tice OF the United States, should have,
in addition to great legal learning and
a high judicial capacity, great execu-
tive ability. Under Chief Justice
Waite, they delicately intimated, great
lawyer though he was, the business of
the Supreme court had Jagged, so that
1t was about three years behind the
docket.
Mr.. Fuller had been recommended
to President Cleveland not only as a
very able lawyer, but also as a bust
ness man Of unusual capacity. Had he
chosen business life instead Of the
law, his sponsors declared-and prob
ably correctly-he would have gained
distinguished success as an executive.

knowledge That He Had Hereditary
Disease Of Eyes Checked Evarts'
Career in Senate and Drove
Him From Public Life.

No man, since the days Of the Civil
war, ever entered the United States
senate with greater prestige than did
William M. Evarts. For years he had
been recognized as the leader of the
American bar; he is to be numbered
among the few great lawyers who are
assured of permanent recognition of
his career.
He had been the spokesman for the
nomination of William H. Seward for
the presidency of 1860. During the
Civil war he had been sent on a dip
lomatic mission to England by Pres
ident Lincoln. AS President Johnsons
senior counsel, he did much to secure
.Johnson's acquittal in the great i'm
parchment trial. He had beeen attor-
ney general in JohnSons cabinet, and
secretary of state under Hayes. He
had served as the leading counsel for
the Republicans before the electoral
commission appointed to decide the
Hayes-Tilden presidential election.
He had been chief counsel for his
country before the famous Geneva
court Of arbitration. and the cause for
which he pleaded had triumphed.
But Mr.. Evarts had not been in
his seat in the senate long before his
colleagues began wonderingly to whis-
per among themselves, saying: Has
this great man found himself in an
unfamiliar place? Are his abilities OK
clusively those of great lawyer, or
diplomat? He seems to be lapsing in
to a spirit of Indifference"
After Senator Evarts retired from
the senate, in 1891, he gradually be-
