 J. D.-NoIan Still in Good Form.
 On Sunday John D. Nolan. well known in sporting circles, walked from Taftville to North Franklin and re- turn, a total distance of about 20 miles. just to keep in good physical trim MT. Nolan is a great admirer of Wes- ton and O'Leary, and personal friend of the latter, who paid him a visit at his home in Taftville few years ago. Mir Nolan believes that a long walk is the most beneficial form of exercise, and that it prolongs and makes life worth living. He also believes that a man should be in his prime at 50 years, and is anxious to see how fast he can run a quarter, half and one mile the sr,l he will do some light training during the coming spring and summer, and will probably make his effort in the early autumn. Mir Nolan showed the boys how a 50 year old man can come back by ight livingr and judicious training at the New London county fair last September when he lowered by six seconds the worlds record for a man of that age over one-ffth of a mile course.

THE leading lawyer of America, a
least in corporations" said Henry d
Pierce, has passed into mem
DRY with William NJ. Everts, Charles
O'Conner, Rufus Choate, Caleb Cush
ing and Daniel Webster. Judge Dill
lon was in the class with William NJ
Everts. Joseph H. Choate. Richard Oh
ney and Benjamin Harrison as law
yer. His death has local flavor in
| that he and the late DR.. Winslow S.
Pierce, of this city, were boys to-
gether and lifelong friends. A cE-
| rious fact in the career of Judge Dill
| Ion was that he and DR.. Pierce began
as very young men the study of medi-
| cine together. Judge Dillon, like DR..
Pierce, and associated with him, was
very successful as a doctor. But, Gu
riously enough, he was obliged to
abandon the practice of medicine on
account of a most unique circum-
stance Mr.. Pierce thus spoke of
John Forest Dillon, whose death in
New York occurred last week.
Mr.. Pierce then related how in the
early days in Illinois, near Rock Is
land, and at Davenport, Iowa, where
both of these men were practicing
their profession, it was the habit OF
doctors to go on horseback to visit
their patients.
Naturally" he said, "the town was
small, though both of these are now
cities of pretension. The larger part
of the practice was necessarily in the
country adjacent to these towns Hur-
ry calls had to be made by day and
night, and as the roads were mostly
unmarked highways of unspeakable
mud, there was almost no way of go
ing to the sick except in the saddle.
Like DR.. Pierce, Judge billions legs
were short, but his were even shorter
The result was that Judge Dillon,
though with splendid start in the
medical profession, found it matter
of sheer impossibility for him to
mount and dismount, and even so
much as ride upon such horses as
were available in those early days.
Therefore for this reason and for this
alone, he was obliged most reluctant
~ and with pathetic regrets, to aban-
don his chosen profession. He and
DR.. Pierce had been lecturers in the
medical college at Rock Island, which,
owing to rapid growth. was later NOV
ed to Davenport, Iowa, just across
the Mississippi river.
Here it was that both of these men
made their fame as lecturers to medi- |
cal students. and took high rank in
their profession. Young Dillon thus |
obliged to go into the law. gave the !
same energy to the study of Black |
stone that he had to the study OF
Hippocrates; and burned the midnight
oil so persistently that he soon be- |
came a well equipped LAWYER He
rose very rapidly to judgeship and
finally reached the exalted position on
the supreme court of Iowa Later he
became judge of the United States
court located at st. Louis During
-hese years his abilities were so con-
iptcuous. especially in the line of cor
1oration law, that Sidney Dillon, Rus

Best Foreign Authority.


Representative b. G. Humphreys OF
Mississippi who is regarded as an au-
! thority upon all matters connected
with the Mississippi river, speaking
! Of the observations made by Sir Will
{ liam Willcocks as TO flood control.
said:
! Outside of the engineers of the L.
( >. army there is no engineer in the
rid who has had so much actual and
practical experience in the control of
foods in alluvia. countries as Sir Will
liam Willcocks.
In addition to his work OF the Nile
he has been engaged in similar work
on the Tigris and Euphrates. and in
fact has devoted the last 80 years of
his life TO the practical study of flood
control. For these reasons | believe
his opinion as to the best method of
protecting the Mississippi deltas from
the floods of that great river is worth
more than the opinion of any other
foreign engineer. His explanation of
the reason why reserves on the upper
Nile were necessary and on the Mis-
sissippi would be entirely Inadequate
and inefficient. is most illuminating. 1t
is matter of great satisfaction to
those of us who live behind the Ievees
and whose very existence depends up
on proper food control. to hear from
Sir William his positive opinion that |
the sure and only way TO control the |
floods Of the Mississippi is by con- !
structinG levees high enough and wide |
enough to hold the floods. and the fix
alton of the banks so as to make these |
levees permanent when once con-
structed. This is the theory of our en-
gineers who have studied the Missis-
sippi river and IS OF course gratifying
to know that their opinions coincide
with the opinion OF this great foreign
engineer who has had so many years
experience in solving similar problems
on other rivers Of the world"
