JUDGE HOWARD c.
HOLLISTER DEAD.

Word was received here Thursday
morning last by Miss Laura S. Hollis
ter Of the sudden death of her brother,
Judge Howard c. HOLSTER at his
home in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Judge HOLSTER was born in Cincin-
natl on September II, 1856. His faith
er, native of Manchester, went to Gin
cinnati in his early manhood and for
several years represented Vermont on
the Board of Governors of the New
England Society of that city. Judge
HOLSTERS mother, Laura Strait Hol-
lister, was daughter of Thomas j..
Strait, one of the most successful ear
ly lawyers at the Cincinnati bar.
On both sides Judge HOLSTER was
of colonial and revolutionary stock. He
had three great grand fathers who
were soldiers in the Revolutionary
War.
Yale, 1878, was the class in which
Judge HOLSTER graduated and he had
as associates in that same class former
Pres. VIM. Howard Taft, the late
Judge VIM. l.. Dickson of Cincinnati
and Geo. w. Burton, president of the
First National Bank of Lacrosse, Wis.
a former Manchester boy.
He was admitted TO the bar in 1880
and was elected Judge of the Court Of
Common Pleas in 1893 and reelected
for a second term in 1895, serving in
all ten years. At the end of his term
he resumed the practice of law with
his two brothers, Thomas and Burton
p. HOLSTER. In March 1910, his life
long friend, President Taft, appointed
Judge HOLSTER to be United States
District Judge and during his nearly
ten years on the United States bench
he tried many cases which attracted
national attention.
He was devout member of the
Presbyterian Church and an elder in
his congregation.
Judge Hollister was married in 1887
to Miss Alice Keys, who with three
sons, brother and two sisters sur
vive.
The funeral services we're held from |
his late home on Saturday and the in
terment, which was private, was in the |
Spring Grove Cemetery.

A DOCTOR AND HIS PATIENT

Dr. Cary 7. Grayson, who has been
for years the highly successful guard
ian of the health of Presidents Of the
United States, seems to have lost In
the present situation the calm for
which he had been noted. This may
mean that the physician, like his exalt,
ed patient, is in need of a rest.
When the tour was suddenly
brought OF close the doctor was
quoted as saying that he "hoped" for
the recovery OF Mr.. Wilson--an aston
fishing remark which caused conster-
nation in all directions, seeing that,
no matter how desperate the condi-
ton Of patient, medical men are usu-
ally optimistic or mildly hopeful, or
Ssay nothing
Then II was suggested that 1T
might be necessary to take the Presi-
dent off the train and put him in a
sanitorium, in view of the fatigue
which would be experienced if the long
journey back to Washington began at
once. A good n.g..ts sleep helped so
much that the Doctor felt very much
encouraged and said SO. In fact, he
became almost cheerful Later on he
said that his charge was doing las
well as could be expected"
To the surprise of large crowd at
the station in Washington it was a
smiling President who walked unas-
sisted to his car, showing no more
signs of fatigue than could be expect
cd in the case Of statesman who had
been on the rush to the coast and
back, and trying incidentally to make
himself heard by huge crowds COM
posed Of persons most Of whom had
never seen head Of the nation
before.
OF course, it is natural that DIR.
Grayson should feel his own response
bility. But, even so, was it not indis-
Greet on his part to excite the public,
especially as indications Of uneasi-
ness on its part, il they came to the
attention Of the person most concern
ed, might cause dangerous reaction
Of course, there are those who will
suggest that the change in Dr. Gray
son, from extreme rcticence to the 9TH
er thing may have been caused by his
association for many months with the
leading statesman of the world. an ex-
perience which perhaps injected lit
tie diplomacy into his ordinary profes-
sional behaviour. Y. Herald.
