Aged Jurist Passes Away Suddenly
at Sorrento, Maine.
Bar Harbor. Me. Chief Justice Mel
ville W. Fuller of the United States
Supreme court died from heart failure
at his summer home in Sorrento at
six o'clock Monday morning.
The death of the chief magistrate
was unexpected, as he bad been In
fairly good health lately, and there
had been no premonitory symptoms of
any kind of trouble. Sunday he at
tended church as usual, and when he
retired at night he was to all appear
ances in his customary health.
Death came about six o'clock Mon
day morning. His daughter, Mrs. Na
thaniel Francis, and Rev. James E.
Freeman, who was a guest of Justice
Fuller's at his Sorrento cottage,
"Main Stay." were with the Jurist
when he died.
The funeral services will be held at
Sorrento and the interment will be at
Chicago.
For many years the chief Justice
had spent his summers at Sorrento, a
summer colony located on French
man's bay, five miles from Bar Har
bor. A Great American.
To Chief Justice Fuller fell the
honor of third rank for length of serv
ice as presiding justice In the highest
tribunal of the American government
For 22 years be was chief justice
of the Supreme court of the United
States. Chief Justice Marshall pre
sided over the court for 34 years and
Chief Justice Taney for 28 years.
With the future rests the determina
tion of his rank among the eight
chief justices of history for ability and
accomplishments.
Before Grover Cleveland sent his
name to the senate on April 30. 1888.
for confirmation as chief justice, he
was practically unknown except to
members of the legal profession. In
Maine, where be was born on Febru
ary 11, 1833, he had been known as
a well-behaved, rather scholarly lad.
He had gone to Bowdoin college, and,
Incidentally, there won most of the
prizes for elocution. He had gone
down to Harvard law school for one
year.
His Great Argument
From 1856 to 18S8 he lived in Chi
rntro. hut attracted little attention out
side bis Immediate circle of friends
and associates at the bar until he
undertook the defense of Bishop
Cheney on a charge of heresy. His
knowledge of ecclesiastical history
and procedure astonished those who
conducted the' case, and his argument
of the cause of the bishop before the
Rurreme court of Illinois Is referred to
still as a forensic effort seldom If ever
surpassed In that court
He was a delegate to the national J
conventions of the Democratic party
In 18G4. 1872. 1876 and 1880.
The nomination of Mr. Fuller, then
fifty-five years of age. was followed by
a memorable contest in the senate.
Inducing a Sneeze.
Probably everybody has experi
enced the displeasure, if not actual
pain, which comes from missing a
sneeze. There is an easy way out of
this if one happens to be out of doors
at the time an dthe weather is cleai
Just glance at the sun. There Is some
thing about the brightness of It that
supplies the missing irritation, or
whatever it is that Is needed, and nine
times out of ten if the sneeze has not
got too far away it will come back.
New York Sun.
Well Answered.
A man advertised for a wife and
requested each candidate to inclose
her "carte-de-vlste. A spirited young
lady wrote to the advertiser In the
following terms: "Sir. I do not in
close my 'carte.' for though there la
some authority for putting a 'cart' be
fore a horse. I know of none for pot
ting one before an ass."
Lectures for Country Pastures.
The Maine Agricultural college pro
poses to establish lectures especially
for country pastors.
The Judiciary committee, with Its
Republican majority, to which the
nomination was sent April 30, held
up the appointment until July 20.
Then the committee reported it to the
senate "without recommendation."
For three hours that body debated
In executive session whether to con
firm or reject the nomination. The
attack on Mr. Fuller was led by Sena
tors Edmunds, Evarts and Stewart,
Senators Cullom and Farwell defend
ed him.
The reports that he had been a
"copperhead" during the Civil war
and that he did not possess the re
quisite ability as a lawyer were gone
over.
His Great Victory.
Finally, by a vote of 41 to 20. bis
nomination was confirmed.
Since that day the entire court as
it then existed has passed away with
the single exception of Justice Har
lan. Of those prominent in the fight
over bis confirmation only Senator
Cullom remains, and President Cleve
land, who thus honored the Illinois
lawyer, has thus gone to his grave.
Throughout his service Chief Jus
tice Fuller was noted for the dignity
with which he filled the position. He
preserved that manner on the bench
or off.
Although small of stature, not more
than five feet seven Inches, his wealth
of silvery hair and classic features
made him a commanding figure wher
ever he appeared.
Chief Justice Fuller leaves an In
delible stamp on the laws of the coun
try. Among his most famous opinions
are the following:
His Famous Decisions.
The Income tax decision, in which
the income tax law was held to be un
constitutional. The Danbury hat case, by which la
bor unions were held to be amenable
to the Sherman anti-trust law.
The Western Union Telegraph com
pany versus the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. In which the state was
denied the right to tax telegraph mes
sages, except when interstate.
The Bank of Washington versus
Hume. In which the Insurable Interest
of the wife and children in the life
of the husband and father was recog
nized as distinguished from the claims
of creditors.
Inman versus South Carolina Rail
way company. In which the railroad
was denied the power to exempt It
self from liability for its negligence
in the shipment of goods.
Moore versus Crawford. In which
married women were made to bear lia
bilities, such as those growing out of
the fraudulent sale of land, as well as
the legal rights.
Leisy versus Haddin. In which the,
state was denied rights over original
packages of liquor in interstate com
merce, an opinion which led to the
passage of the Wilson liquor law.
Climatic Differences.
On the coast of southeastern Alaska
the average annual precipitation Is
about ninety Inches and trees grow
to a large size; In the central plateau,
the precipitation Is less than fifteen
inches, including the melted snow,
and the average size of timber is
small; while on the arctic slope, north
of Rocky mountains, climatic condi
tions make forest growht altogether
Impossible, and those vast tundras are
covered chiefly with moss, sedges and
a few small shrubs.
Valuable Pointer.
In commenting upon the fact that
Kansas stands at the bead In raising
moles, we wish to add that Is the only
safe place to stand. It also is best
to keep as near the bead as possible
when nutting the harness on.

of fifty feet when suddenly while la

aeroplanes.

still fifty feet from the ground, lost
control of the machine.

like a log. The baroness' legs and
arms were broken. Her mangled body

six seconds and afterward the Bel

The performances of Baroness De
La Roche on a Voison machine have
been much talked of in Paris. This ac
cident was not her first On January
4. last, she was serious'y injured at
the Chalons aviation field. In circling
the course she made a wide turn and
crashed into a tree, being unable to
elevate her machine quickly enough to
dodge it She fell from a height of
twenty feet and was taken to the mil
itary hospital unconscious. Her right
shoulder was dislocated and internal
injuries were feared, but she re
covered soon.
In February last the French Aero
club gave Baroness De La Roche an
air pilot's license for ber feat in
flying four times around the aviation
course at Heliopolis, a distance of
twelve miles.
The baroness was one of the
pioneers of aviation. She had also
driven motor boats in races and auto
mobiles at exhibitions and as soon as
flying became practicable, she turned
to them. There are several other
women aviators in Paris.
