ot1N MAhS1A1AlI was COHmlS-
stoned to be Chief Justice OF the
Supreme Court of the United
~ States 124 years ago yesterday,
on January 81. 1901. The Law
yers' Club OF New York City celebrat-
ed the 124th anniversary of Marshalrs
to the chief justiceship on
Tuesday, January 20. The appoint
ment was made by q defeated and
outgoing Presidr Mt. Mr.. Adams, who
afterward issued the commission, and
the confirmation was by a lame-duck
Senate, of which a large proportion
of members had been beaten for re-
election by the triumphant followers
of Mr.. Jefferson.
Marshall was bitterly opposed and
often savagely denounced by Jeffer-
son and many others. Yet he became
one of the few men of history whose
fame has risen, frightened and wild
ened with lapse OF time; one of very
few judges whose decisions are stud
led more earnestly and admired more
ardently by each succeeding genera
tion of his own profession. The mon
umental biography of him by former
Senator Beveridge Of Indiana has
stimulated the interest of the general
public in his life, character and
achievements, and increased knowl-
edge of them.
StuQentS OF American history know
that Mr.. Marshall was sent to Paris
in 1897 by President Adams as one of
a commission of three intrusted with
the delicate task of endeavoring to
establish good Will and peace between
the French revolutionary government
and the United States, and to end
friction which threatened armed con-
fiict almost momentarily.
The two other commissioners were
Mr.. Pinckney of South Carolina, Mr..
Marshalrs fellow Federalist, and Mr..
Gerry of Massachusetts,, Jeffersonian,
destined to enrich the American Ian
guage subsequently, with the word
"gerrymander."
The French had guillotined their
king four years before and were ruled
by a directory obsessed with the be-
lief that the people of this country
were fervently devoted to the revolu-
tion and enthusiastically eager to
adopt it's policies mad initiate it's acts.
Marshall and Pinckney were regarded
as speaking for a small and discred-
tied faction of American aristocrats,
capitalists and reactionaries, and
through nearly year were subjected
to daily tests of their patience and
courage, as Marshall narrates in his
life of Washington" although care
fully avoiding mention of his own
name.
Nevertheless, Marshall found time
to sit to Houdon. who had become
celebrated through his statue of
Washington, now in the rotunda of
the Virginia oapital. AnA his bpzts a&

through all their married life, and
tradition is that her word was as
much law to him as his word was law
for the Nation.
TN the midst of this nerve-trying er-
l. rand he found time to complete his
sittings to Houdon and secured his
bust, about one-fourth life size. The
final insult to the commission came
with the arrogant ultimatum that the
directory might consent to talk bust
ness with Mr.. Gerry, on the basis OF
large cash contribution from this
country If the two Federalists would
take themselves off Thereupon the
commission sailed for America, Mr..
Marshall bringing his bust.
Perhaps the eagle scream from all
the IT statesmen of the Union. that

was elected, and then was appointed
Chief Justice. The bust was placed In
his home at Richmond and remained
there some 80 years. Then he pre-
sented it to Edward Colston of Honey
wood, Berkeley County, now in West
! Virginia.
Mr.. Colston was the son of Eliza
| beth Marshall and Raleigh Colston.
! His mother was the eldest sister of
| the Chief Justice, born a year after
| him. and was the object of his warm
and lifelong affection. At the age OF
| 81 she had taken charge of the edu-
cation of younger brothers and sis
ters, and while her father and two
| brothers were fighting almost side
| by side in the Continental Army she
was virtually head Of the family.
| She was engaged to Col. Porterfeld
of the same Army, but he was killed
| in battle and she did not marry until
she was 29 years old. Her wedding
was at the residence of the Chief
Justice in Richmond in 1856. Her
| husband was not only the intimate
personal friend of Justice Marshall,
| ing, clearing and selling lands In
northern and western Virginia.
Her son. Edward was the eldest
and favorite nephew of the Chief Jus

MR.. POGARTY listened with a

MIR. POGARTY listened with a
4fA thankful heart to the screwbeats
of the liner. He was under the boat,
clinging calmly to the center thwart,
breathing easily and deeply with his
head q foot out Of water inside the
overturned hull.
He waited until the thud of the
propellers diminished to a faint
monody OF sound far away in the
| back blocks of the channel. He
passed away the time in ridding
himself Of his other clothes. The
socks were an awkward business, but
he got them off at last He dropped
g. lead sinker in each, tied them to-
getheT at the tops. and let them go.
| The trousers and jacket went down
with the remainder Of the weights
in the pockets. He tore the little
sandy-buf moustache to shreads and
put them in his mouth. He unfas-
tened the swimming belt from the
center thwart and adjusted it. Then
he dived out from under the hull.
Once we'll away from the boat, he
elected the moustache and turned all
his attentions toward the Isle Of
Wight shore half a mile away. 1t
took him nearly two hours with long
and frequent rests, and he chilled TO
the bone by the time he was min

bathing from the beach. 1t was an
intense effort OF wfll-power, but he
stayed in among them for another
10 minutes before edging toward the
sands. He emerged, in his bathing
suit, quiet, normal holiday-maker,
coming IN after a pleasant after
Moons swim.
He went into his hut, his whole
body one vast ache of weary coldness.
| He almost tainted with the violence
of the reaction OF the heated interior
of the hut. He collapsed on a chair
and rested, slipping hot tea from the
flask to get the biting flavor of the
seawater off his palate.
After a vigorous towelling he
dressed. There was every mortal
| thing he wanted in the suitcase, right
down to hair pomade, cash, and the
Sunday paper-and telescope.
Through the glass he saw that the
Berengaria had lost little time in re-
porting the accident. A clutter of
small boats jostled about round the
overturned craft. But they never

rather notoriously negligent of ex-
ternals. To this day young people in
Virginia tending to ostentation, or
putting on airs" are rebuked with
stories of how often their revered fell
low citizen was mistaken by strangers
for very plain farmer, with some in
telligence, but in reduced circum-
stances, and of how he accepted their
condescensions with humility and
good -humored simplicity.
