Had Andrew johnson died at any
time within a year of his succession
10 the presidency, in 1865, Lafayette
S. Foster, senator from Connecticut,
would have taken the oath as Presi-
dent, since at that time the law pro-
vided in case OF vacancy in the presi-
Dental office created by the death o.
resignation of one who had been
elected as Vice President and who
had succeeded the President, that 1t
be filled by the president OF the
senate.
Judge Foster was for three terms
United States senator, and In his last
term he had opportunity to become
acquainted with Reverdy johnson,
who was serving as United States
senator from Maryland For Senator
johnson Judge Foster had great ad-
mlration.
II eesteemed Johnson as one of the
ablest lawyers, perhaps the ablest,
who had been a colleague Of his own
In the Senate. He admired, also, the
transformations personality of Mr.
Johnson, who was conspicuous for o
certain democratic attitude in all per-
sonal affairs, although that never In
VOWED any loss of dignity.
After, Judge Fosters term in the
Senate expired he was accuStouieu lo
speak reminiscently to his Connect
cut friends, especially of an evening
during the session of the court OF
which Judge Foster had been elected
as Judge shortly after his retiremen,

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How a Great Maryland Lawyer Went Into Court

In the of1ce of William Pinkney, who
was one of the greatest men Mary
land ever furnished to the United
States In those early days when the
nat on was establishing itself upon
firm foundation Mr.. Johnson had
wonderful gift of perfectly lucid
exposition OF even the most abstract
principles of the law. That was also
the gift of William Pinkney.
But there was this difference be-
tween the two men-Plnkney In
dulged in florid oratory. classical in
its form and language and adorned
with quotations from the great
authors of the past. Reverdy john
son spoke directly and to the point,
and I have often thought that it was
in great measure due to Reverdy
johnson that LAWYERS were inspired
TO change from the old, formal, ele-
giant and ford style to the concise,
clear and unadorned style of later
years.
"There was one thing Reverdy
johnson could not do. He would not
have known how to pose. That was
rot the case of William Pinkney. I

Those who heard Judge Foster
speak in this way OF William Pink

authority for the anecdote was prob
ably Reverdy Johnson himself.

One of the greatest women violin
lists of the nineteenth century-Wil-
ma Maria Francisco Halle-was born
seyenty-flve years ago today. She
was the daughter of a cathedral or
ganist OF Moravia named Norman
Neruda, and from him she inherited
her wonderful talent for music, and
also received her earliest instruc-
tions. Her ability was developed at
an extremely early age, and at the
age of seven she played q Bach So
nata on her violin before a large and
enthusiastic audience. The fame of
this child prodigy spread through
Europe, and from this tender age her
life was that of public performer
crowded with practicing, study and
travelling and public performances.
Her greatest success was in Eng
land, where, when she was forty
seven, she married Sir Charles Halle.
Her talents were greatly admired by
the British royal family, and in 1911
she was appointed violinist to her
majesty, Queen Alexandra. Some
what previously she had been pre-
scented with a priceless Stradivarius
violin which had formerly belonged
to the great German VIC mist. Helm

among the laboring classes.
A Chicago official gave as the cnlet
reason for the large army OF unem-
ployed" in that city the refusal OF. the
men to accept work when offered
them. Out of 347 men assigned TO
work one day, according to a report
made to Mayor Harrison by the su-
perintendent Of the municipal en-

and 100 of these had been provided

the superintendent there were 2,bo6
jobs available, but 1t Is daily becom-

will take the places offered them.
I'VE want work." says young Tan
nenbaum in New York, but we're
not going to work for starvation
wages. Offer us SO a day Jobs and
we'll go to work, otherwise we won't.
What's the use of working and
starving as well? It's easier to starve

If a man is q capable, careful
worker and can give service worth 50

he should be able to get it, but how
often, If the characters of the great
army of unemployed and sidetracked
people were analysed, it would be
found that most of these people have
been accustomed to half do things. 1t

From a British Consular Report.
One of the characteristic features Of
modern life n the open ports of China
and in Hongkong Is the tendency
among Chinese women CT the fashion
able class, especially in the diplomatic
circles, to adopt foreign-style cloth
Ing, modified to suit Chinese taste.
This change, though lin ted to a
comparatively small number, is hav-
ing a marked effect upon trade. Hong
kong shop windows-the more fash
ionable shops that cater to Chinese
trade-are full of notifications of for
eign dress for use OF Chinese women
and manikins displaying styles are OF
a dist nctly foreign cast.
The use Of foreign underclothing
and of fewer layers of Chinese gar
ments has also modified the wraps of
Chinese women. Many Chinese wom-
en- for some time have affected for
eign style furs. the Chinese being very
fond of furs and using them general
Nv in native dress. Formerly q Chi
nese woman completed her costume
In winter by q fur-lned garment,
sometimes more than one, or by gar
ments quilted with cotton or waste silk
filling. These garments are now little
used, having been replaced by the
long COdLS previously tIlVibtolSu,
which are cut from heavier materials
than the short coats of the old style.
Some Chinese women use wraps
wholly fore gn in style.
Leather has generally supplanted
cloth shoes for Chinese women among
the well-to-do classes in Hongkong
and even the working classes are
using leather shoes as far as possible
Foreign-made shoes or local shoes OF
foreign style are popular. Even for
bound-foot women leather shoes are
common, made somewhat In foreign
style and with foreign machinery
The change has already made Itself
e 1t in the shoe business in Hong
kong. and It's influence is extending to
the larger Chinese ports, and even to
the cities of the interior.
The innovations in dress have
brought with them a demand for for
eign dress accessories. Foreign styles
of dressing the hair are becoming
more and more common, including the
use of velvet and silk f1llets, and even
where Chinese hairdressing Is follow
ed the STYLES have been modified,

day. The block to be printed must be
placed perfectly level and secured
firmly. The printer has two brushes,
one Of them sitter than the other,
which he can hold in his hand and
use at either end. He dips it into the
ink and rubs the block with it,
taking care not to moisten it too
much or leave it too dry. If 1t were
wetted too much the characters
would be blurred; il too little. they
would not print.
When once the block is got into the
proper condition he can print three or
four impressions without dipping his
brush into the ink again.
The second brush Is used to rub
over the paper with a small degree OF
pressure, that 1t may take the I'm
preston. This it does easily, for, not
being sized with alum, it receives the
ink the instant 1t comes in contact

1t is only necessary that the brush
should be passed over every part of
