Chief Justice Fuller Was Courteous

JUSTICE HARLAN and Chief JUS
u tice Fuller were riding home one
evening on the back platform of a
car, preferring that to seat in order
to smoke. The door of the car was
open, and at intervals smoke from
their cigars drifted in. Noticing this,
the conductor Informed them that
smoking was prohibited.
But" objected Justice Harlan, 1.-The
wind carries the smoke to the south
andwe are travelling north"
That's all right, mister; but them's
my ORDERS" insisted the knight of the
bell rope.
During the conversation Justice
Fuller had stepped down on the car
step and hidden himself behind the
mammoth physique of his argumenta'
tive friend He was enjoying his cigar
to the fullest extent.
"Orders are orders, l know" con
tinued Justice Harlan, determined to
convince the conductor by logic of the
folly of blind obedience; "but there
arc cases where a law coercive at
one time may at another be void. Al
low me to cite a certain case in our
common law statute book"
Il take my orders from the supe,
and l don't care about no law!" per-
sisted the conductor stubbornly.
The car had turned into Fifteenth
street by this time.
The little chief justice was just
lighting his second cigar, entirely dis
interested in the plea of his learned
colleague.

QUEEN MARY STARTS A CULT

Owing to the incentive OF Queen
Mary, who IS a devotee of the needle,
the cult of stitchery prevails in So
ciety to an amazing extent. Every
other woman one meets is talking OF
needlework and the craft Of the
needle; it is a sort of obsession. The
mysteries of satin stitch, padded and
otherwise, of crewel work, braid
work, COUGHING, herringbone, button
hole and French knots are discussed
by everybody. When Queen Mary
came back from India and the Dur
bar she found society as keen on
needlework as it used to be on bridge.
One of the cleverest needleworkers
is Lady Glenconner (sister-in-law of
Mrs. Asquith), who makes her own
designs and has original ideas for
decoration. She is fond of big, bold
patterns In vivid colors and has
worked many bedspreads and cover
let's in William Morris patterns.
There is splendid specimen OF her
work at Wilsford Manor, Salisbury, on

Here's the Champion of All Law Men

rH1CAGO.-The great West side lost
~ one Of it's most picturesque citi-
zens-temporarily-the other day.
Gustave Schillinger, who existed-it
would be rank hyperbole to use a
word implying so much activity az
lived" in Gustave's connection-at
1866 North Paulina street, was SEN
fenced by Judge Goodnow to the
bridewell for six months.
Before sending him away Judge
Goodnow paid tribute to Gustave
for his unexampled skill in loafing.
You are the most monumental ex-
ample Of lazy man 1t has ever been
my privilege to meet" said the court.
"You are one Of those fellows who
were born tired and never got rested"
Persons ambitious to fill Schillin-
gers championship, now that he has
been condemned to toll, may we'll
pause as they consider his achieve
ments as they were brought out in
court.
Here are some of the records:
For nine years he has done abso-
lutely no work, except what he was
compelled to do at the bridewell.
During these nine years his wife
and eight children provided him with
food, clothes and spending money,
while his mother provided him with
a house, rent free.
1t was his custom to wake up late
in the morning and send for his
breakfast. If there was no money in
the house for food, he would send one
of his children to his mother with a
note asking for rs or so cents.
If his mother happened to be out
Of funds, he arose and got work for
the children, stringing beads. The
children could earn from Is to 80

said to be an expert cobbler, but, &C.
cording to the head of the institution
in which he ds given a home by the
district, the suggestion that he give
his time and attention to the mend
ing of shoes Is received only with
scorn. The decision of the commits
sioners to enforce obedience on the
part of Wilson with the rules of the
house was reached following a report
by George 8. Wilson. secretary Of the
board of charities, who says that his

Anna Maria Krapidinski, special

Chicago the other day after gathering
statistics through the medium of the
Immigrants Protective league and
the Juvenile Protective association.
She was detailed to Investigate the
conditions under which immig.&at

turned on board the steamer Roose-

back from his successful trip in quest

Mr.. Whitney carried with him a
motion-picture apparatus with which
he expects to get photographs OF
scenes connected with seal hunting.
AS FAR as known no one has ever un-
dertaken this feat. Captain Bartlett,
who commanded the Roosevelt, has
managed many successful sealing
trips to the north.
Mr.. Whitney said of his plans on

cedure. as the ministers had announced
late yesterday they would quit their
posts.
Much speculation IL being INDUCED in
as to who will be chosen premier to

lister OF marine, who accepted office Of
foreign minister upon the earnest res
quest Of President Falieres yesterday
in an effort to stave or dissolution of
the cabinet, Is being hailed on all sides

1t is conceded that the anti German
policies he advocated when he was for
eign minister several years ago. and
which resulted in his resignation be-
cause Of German pressure, will be fol-
lowed by whoever 10 selected as prime
minister. In some quarters It IL even
believed that Del Casse himself may be
made premier.
The press this afternoon unanimously
declares that q great crisis Is at hand
and that the government must select the
strongest man in France for prime min
lister.
