bench of the Supreme Court at Wash.

of all the justices who from the or
ganization of the Supreme Court had
held q similar position. Several eX-

was a corpulent man, and was one oil
the heaviest of all the Supreme Court
justices.
Judge Gray's unusual stature was,
nevertheless, well proportioned. When
he was q young man, a student at
Harvard, he had as his college-mate
George +. Hoar, afterWard senator
from Massachusetts, once distln-
guished among the students for his
cherubic face. which was all the more
impressive because of the early age
at which he had reached his ex-
traordinary stature. AfterWard his
head and face were in perfect SYM
metrv with the rest of his body.
Judge Gray was distinguished by
serving upon the bench of the high
est court of Massachusetts before he
became justice of the Supreme Court
at Washington, and for an austerity
of manner and dignity which

TAKE AWAY JUDICIAL PATRONAGE.

Prof William H. Taft is perfectly right when he
urges that there should be such thing patronage
for the judiciary. Federal and State courts have the
disposal of many well-paying Offices and the richest

large business properties. Judges are only human.

HandkerphiPfs

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE winter
styles for dogs appeared for the first
time yesterday at the st. Regis Hotel
when two Of Mrs. Thomas Powers's
Pomeran.ans left the hotel in the aft
ernoon CARRIED in sweaters. But that
was not all. In the sweaters were
pockets and in the pockets handker-
chiefs.
A man who did not know the ways
Of New York marveiled at the hand
kerchief and wanted to know if the
Pomeranians had colds He was told
that they had not yet. and o. c.
BeVin. manager OF the hotel, when
pressed, merely said that the hand
kerchiefs set off, the sweaters.
However Bubby and Peggy, who had
the sweaters and handkerchefs, were
much prouder than little Quoidus,
who did not even have a sweater.

Peter Ablitzer, a wealthy retired
tailor of 81 Seventy first street,
Brooklyn, was found yesterday in a
vacant lot at Seventy first street and
Narrows avenue A heavy charge of
bird shot had been fired through his
heart. By his side was what seemed
to be a thick walking stick with a
curved handle. Examination showed
that u 20-guage shot gun barrel had
been sawed off and inserted in the
stick. A button in the handle, when
pressed, set off the load of shot.
Ablitzer's son said his father had
made the gun which he used on hunt
ing trips. 1t is believed the weapon
was accidentally discharged.

We we're not manyrwe who stood
Before the iron seet that day;
Yet many gallant spirit would
Give half his years if he but could
Have been with us at Monterey.
Now here now there, the shot it hailed,
In deadly drifts of fiery spray.
Yet not single soldier quaed
When wounded comrades round him walled
Their dying shout at Monterey.
And on, still on, our column kept
Through walls of flame its whitening way;
Where fell the dead, the living Slept
Still charging the guns which swept
The slippery streets of Monterey.
The foe himself recoiled aghast,
When, striking where he strongest lay,
We swooped his thanking batteries past,
And Drawing full their murderous blast,
Stormed home the towers of Monterey.
Our banners on those turrets wave,
And there our evening buges play;
There orange boughs above their grave
Keep green the memory of the brave
Who fought and fell at Monterey.
g We were not many-we who pressed
Beside the brave who fell that day;
But who of us has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest
Than not have been at Monterey?

House of Governors.
From the Baltimore News.
Subjects of practical value will be
discussed and acted on at the sew
enth annual conference of the House
Of Governors, scheduled to meet No
vember 10 to IA in Madison, Wis. The
program includes State control of
natural resources, rural credit, ex-
tradition, uniformity of State laws
relating to safety and sanitation in
places of employment. submission Of
governors recommendations in the
shape of legislative bills, and uni
formity of State laws in establishing
the conditions to be met by corpora
tons of one State before they may
do business in another.
These subjects are of serious i'm
portance, and it is probable the con-
ference will adopt a schedule of model
laws to be urged in the governors
States. 1t is unfortunate that, except
for Dunno, of Illinois, none Of the
governors of leading States will be
among the speakers on assigned top
les. But even the lesser States eX-
ecutives will have sound suggestions
/ TO put forward.
/ To date the House of Governors,
| spectacular in its beginning, has not
proved the success predicted for it.
| President Roosevelt established the
conference in the hope the governors
would accomplish great benefit to
State government and to interstate
relations. There has been, on the
whole, more speechmaking than ac-
I ton.
Nevertheless many beneficial meas

| ings, and probably, could the infiu-
ence of private consultations between
the executives and legislative COM
mitteemen be properly estimated, we
would find the House of Governors

sorry comment on the men we send

Of the meetings wholly academic.
