ance union began here this afternoon with n
largo attendance , President Francis E. Will-
ard presiding. A. public mooting was hold

annual address , It is lengthy , covering 107
pages. It dealt with' the year's ' Work and de
clared the Women's Christian Temperance
union to bo now-closing Its best year and ono
of its largest increase In membership.
It asserted that the original package de
cision resulted inthe most helpful temper
ance agitation of the year. It declared
against high license and for prohibition by
law. by politics and by woman's ballot. Miss
VVllicird said : "Wo women want ono-half
the world , an undivided half. " She advised
the organization of a woman's council In
every town , to bo composed ot the pro aidants'
of the various societies engaged in wom
en's work , this to to a sort of clearing house
of their work. By such a unification of wo
men's enterprise It will ho practicable to
build a women's temple in every town to
servo as a rcndor.vous for their varied philan
thropic work , nnd by its rental to help carry
that work forward.

ment all over the land for the membership
crusade. Lot the local unions divide in twos

and continuing until evening , canvassing for
now members and leaving literature in each
homo. It is thought that hundreds and thou
sands of women the world over doing mis
sionary work the same day will" giro faith ,
courage and success. "

cal prisoners being classed with those guilty
of crimes and against their being treated with
so much harshness. The business of the con
vention begins tomprrow.
Gould Docs Some FlgnrliiR.
NEW YORK , Nov. 14. In the Sun tomorrow
will appear a letter addressed to the editor
from Jay Gould In which the writer says
there are a group of roads known as tbo
Western and Southwestern systems , travers
ing a most fertile nnd rapidly developing ter
ritory of the United States nnd that the stock
nnd bond.s of thcso properties Is held by
thousands of Investors In the east and upon
the prosperity of tGcso roads many small in
vestors depend for dividends upon which to
live. "Something over eighteen months
ago , " , writes Gould , "during a period of great
depression three great banking houses in
vited the presidents of these roads to meet.
The result of that meeting MBS the formation
of the so-called presidents' agreement , nnd It
may Interest you to know the difference In
the not earnings of this group of roads as be
tween the rates which were established and
maintained for several months after that
agreement and the rates that pre
vailed under the disorganized state
of affairs that has existed slnco the agreement
was broken. I estimate the total number of
tons moved on6 mile annually by this group
to bo 10,000.000,000. Tno .auditor of ono el
thcso roads furnished mo with a statement
showing the difference between tne rates
under the presidents' agreement and present
rates which amounts to an increase
of 14-100 mills per ton per mile ,
Applying this difference of 14-100 mills
to 10,000,000,000 , , the gross annual tons
of ono mlle gives the startling figures el
$22,400,000 annual decline in the not C.iniine
of this system of roads ns between their
operation under the presidents'ngrcoincntand
the loose methods now prevailing. Undci
this condition of things It is hoped the bank
era can bo induced to call the presidents
together again with the assurance that thoj
have the the whole mass of investors behind
them.

depot , Inquired into the cause of the trouble
nnd when tlio matter wns explained to him

said it was none of Fleming's business what
ho tlld. Ho was promptly arrested nnd taken
to the police station.
At a o'clock the case wai called. The llf
tccn men were all in court and had their con
tracts with them. Judge Holiley fined Gibbons
bens $ . ' 0 and costs for currying concealed
weapons , nnd in default of payment ho wns
taken to the county Jail. Ho acted very surly
nnd stubborn , snylng ho would not send n
line or n word to his father about the matter ,
hut would board the line out in the couuty

"Tho Judicial career of Mr. Justice Miller
covered a period In the history of the coun
try of motncntoui Interest. The novel and
grave questions to which the civil war pave
rise , as well In its course and progress as In
the readjustment of tuo forces and the de
partments of tno government after Its close ,
expanded the various Jurisdictions of the
court to its utmost constitutional competen
cy. In the hlfih debates upon these tremendous
deus Issues , this eminent jurist held a high ,
and as far us was permitted , to any ono man ,
a dominant part. Ho helped largely to es
tablish upon their true foundations the prln-
diplos of the constitution ns the snmo shall
hereafter from pciioratloa to generation , bo
administered.
"Nor was his service limited to that great
function. In every department of the law ,
novel and great questions werebroueht Into
judgment and In their solution ho exercised
adequate powers. To crent capacity for
labor , ho added equal aptitude to his duties :
his was the rare combination of industry ana
Intuition. Unconscious of the solicitudes of
thojo who socle applause , ho never gnvo heed
to what was alien to a Just consideration. 1m-
patlontof Incompetency of council and incon-
consequence In argument , ho gladly accepted
all real aids to a correct conclusion : no repu
tation was great enough to mislead him and
no counsel \vns so obscure us not to bo able to
command hU attention to whatever was use
ful , honest and sound in the discussion. Ills
capacious mind was stored with the treasures
of vast learning. Ills reasoning was direct ,
rnnld. accurate and certain , so that in the re
sult the impression was not of tuo process by
which it was reached so much as of the power
of the demonstration. To him may bo applied
Charles JLamb's acscrlptlon of the old
Bencher of the Inner Temple , Mils stop was
massy and elephantine , his face square as the
lion's , his gait peremptory and path-keeping ,
indlvertablo from his way as u moving col
umn. '
"The style of his composition was Judicial :
it wns accurate , concise , vigorous and virile
and his opinions'auound in single sontunrcs ,
comprehensive beyond the writings of almost
any other judge. 'Ho ' was a living oracle of
the inw.
" \Vhcn \ not exorcising his magistracy , ho
was easy of approach by the humblest , gentle
in his 'nature , attractive in his manner , un
swerving in hisi affections and oravo and
chivalrous in the dofenco ot bis friends.
' Ho was a great magistrate , and a good
man. "
„
In support of the foregoing , Mr. Woolworth -
worth spokuas follows :
"How can I speatatlio words that nro flt in
this place ? UndeMtho stress of a personal
grief , I darouotWiT'expresslon to ray own
affliction. At thtfiatnatlrnotho restraints or
this public ceremony call for measured
terms in which to sot forth the great charac
ter which has ceased from nrnoni ? tneu.
"It is ono of the melancholy experiences of
this poor human nature of ours , that , after
the committal of the form of a doir friend to
the ground , earth to earth , dust to dust , ashes
to ashes , the life that Is over .seems indeed
but p tale after it is told. The years and the
days were full of stir , and action , and service ,
and struggle , and achievement ; each moment
as It passed with its emotion , experience ,
growth seemed a life time ; but now
the memories of them are but
shadows that do not abldo ; a few hours nro
hnrdhpncodod to rehearse what may bo re
called ; some .incidents , some expression ,
some smiles , and tears , some fond emotions ,
they are almost nil. The defect of inomory
is supplied by the affections of the heart ;
indcod , our love diffuses itself over- the char
acter of our dead and is a sweeter consola
tion than any recital , save as it ministers to
our affection.
"But it is all otherwise when wo pass from.
onr private experience auda personal grief
to the contemplation of a llfo that has been
part of the history ofga great institution or of
a great cause. Its circumstances moro than
1111 the number of the years and days ; Its
transactions rlso to the grandeur of historic
events ; the character expands tythe dimen
sions of the institution it illustrated ,
or the cause It served. It seems as if the
tnlo were never wholly told. The affections
instead of overbearing memory , are thom-
s&lves suppressed in the presence of the
names of the great dead.
"Tho time allotted to this oxorctscdoos not
permit a minute .account of Judge Miller's
life. His mother came from the mountains
of North Carolina , and his fnthor from the
interior of Pennsylvania , to the remote parts
of Kentucky. They wore of that rug god
manhood seen on the frontier which breeds a
Webster , a Clay and a Lincoln. The con
ditions were simple ; books not many in
number Bllcd the little shelf in the living-
room the bible "Paradise Lost" Shakespeare -
pearo writings of the Cnlvanistlo jfnlth thu
Federalist and the Constitution.
But high thought was there and
high discourse not of various topics , but of
the great probloms.of human destiny and of
civil government. Jn that humble homo ,
under that rao.it gentle but elevated instruc
tion , ho was reared. The boy's schooling was
not oxtenuod : a Httlo Latin , seine mathemat
ics and a delight In natural science , was
about all ; but tticro was a true love of books.
It was then ho stored his memory with , the
verses of some of thu modern poets and filled
his imagination with the various scenes of
the Wavorly novels. His natural taste's made
him seek employment In the country drup
store , from which ho went to the medical cot-
lego. Returning , ho began the practice of
medicine. Ho loved that science till his
death ; bis last wdra were spent in describ
ing his sensations " .Wlicn stricken down , and
ho knew as well asj , tUo , attending physician
what it meant. At tlU time ho began to ex-
pcrlcncotho exhilaration of public speech
and of sharp icorucutlon. A debating
society -which bavo to the coun
try town about 'fiill ' its entertainment
brought him Into bftnQ-to-hand struggle with
other inluds. Ho , fjdlt also the stimulus' of
companionship mqi'qir ; ) less f roe with a num
ber of the most vlgncous sons of Kentuoky-a
rnoa I may saytpeVhaps , moro than any
other in tnls lana.'J always vigorous , self-
dependent , rpastorful .and generous. Those
experiences and Itmocnco led him to turn
from the practice of. .modiclno to the profes
sion of the law. Jle entered upon the new
career at a maturoagt t-a circumstance which
bos been suppose * * not to give promise of
largo success. It nici/woll bo doubted If tho.
inference is Just. 'A.rnlnd of great natural
vigor , trained to cl6s.fl processes not only by
study , but by sharp ; collisions with others
and a dolleht In the engagements of
the bar gave promise of much from the great
chnngo. From the flnt these expectations
were realized. Aboutthb time the pooploof
the Commonwealth proposed to themselves
the work of framing u system of governraint
moro fully developed , moro consistent with
modern schemes than that of 1700. The trans
cendent question was that of slavery. Henry
Clay , the Gutbrlcs , the Brcckonridgcs. tbo
Harlans and others of the great families of
Virginian extraction , entered into high do-
bato. Casslus M. Clay led the slender forces
of those who believed that slavery was an un
mixed evil which must bo rooted out , or
would la time , like dragon's teeth , boar a
frightful crop of personal and civil miseries.
"Young Miller lolncd hlmsolf to the new
doctrine and carried into thd contention that
strenuous , passionate , independent spirit
which had come to him from till anctwtrynnd
had been developing all the years of bU Ufa
But in the tanner and measure of hU advo
cacy I see much of what afterwards became
the man. His youthful reading of the
constitution , expounded. Illustrated and en
forced by the Federalist , iruidcd his convic
tions. j.ho great principles of the American
polity as established by the fathers , led htm
to the belief that slavery was to bo dealt
with by the Htnto and ho strongly condemned
the ill-regulated aspirations of llio abolition
ists who looked to the nation for redemption.
Hli soul abhorred the institution , not , I ap
prehend , chiefly for the physical miseries
which it entailed upon the slave as
they are portrayed in "Uncle Tom's
Cabin. " What Impressed his mind
was the moral dcRradatlon of the
condition ; this hosnw mint become moronnd
more abject from generation to generation.
The reflex Influence upon the master gave
hint vastly greater alarm. lie looked , not
with distrust or disapproval , but horror upon
the pretensions , now at the height of
the institution , which had so fur
perverted its advocates , that they
attributed to it a divluo origin and sanction.
Ho reprobated , too , its influence niwii men's
sense of Justice , developing arrogance- , violence
lence of iiassions nnd contempt for law. To
Justly trnco the growth of his character , it is
not enough to say that ho was nn anti-slavery
man. It must DO added that ho win an antislavery -
slavery man not because his emotions were
agitated , but because the deliberate convic
tions of hh mind -were against the institu
tion.
tion."llio
"llio controversy resulted In the triumph
of slavery ; its power was reinforced and Its
continuance entrenched by provisions incor
porated into the now constitution. The re
sult did not disappoint Ills expectations , but
It filled him with grave fairs his mind was
profoundly ncritnted. The Issue had to him a
personal menu Ing ; It meant the nhjoct sur
render of his opinions , or a llfo out of sym
pathy with Ills neighbors. Ho could give up
neither his convictions nor bis friends , and
nothing remained but the beginning of anew
now llfo in 11 new land.
"Tho choice ho made of a now homo wan
characteristic. Ho turned away from the
homo of his childhood and his fnomls there ,
to a free state. Uut'ho did not Hco far from
the house of his father's. ICcokuk. In
Iowa , at the southern extremity of the long
peninsula of that state , which stretches far
south of the uaturul Boundary of Missouri , n
town itself peopled , and In the midst ot a
region peopled by emigrants from the south
n community distinguished by the gentleness
and manliness whlcn grace and dignify south
ern character seemed to off or to him a homo
most congenial to his nature. If ha could not
longer live In the old common wcalth.ho would
find nhomo among n people most llko those
ho loved and left. Hero you see what man
ner of man ho was his affections never re
laxing their hold upon their objects ; his na
ture expanding moro and moro , cinbrncliif *
wider aiyt wider subjects , but always the
same from youth into a ripe old ago.
"Twelve years include his career at the
Iowa bar. He rose to its hcnd. His tmmu
appears In the volumes of the reports as fre
quently as any other. They were years of
work ; ho wiw notlodnway by social pleas
ures , although ho delighted in their refresh
ment , Ho was not absorbed by currontdn-
gagemonts , although every ono of them had
his best attention. Ho read the reports with
diligence , but cnsca had little value in his
eyes save for the principles they illustrated.
Tuo institutes of the law tilled his mind and
ho reasoned with himself upon them until
they became his great possession. It
was a favorite theory of Judge Miller
that acountry town is the best pinto for u
young lawyer.1 Ho valued Its opportunities
for reflection and study ; the close and con
stant contact with various diameters ; the
development of Individuality. Ho thought
those conditions favored thu slow and there
fore , solid growth of opinions , principles and
power which , at their maturity make the
strong lawyer. 'JCheso ndvautngos ho often
sot off against these of the large city and
gave them great preference.
"What ho made himself during these
twelve years , fitted him for his great career.
It has been supposed that his growth to the
statue of n giant , was after his elevation to
the bench : that at his appointment , ho was
not only not known , but not qualified either
by learning , experience or skill for the high
position ; and that it was nn acci
dent that ho proved to bo what ho
was. There never was a greater
mistake : His first opinion in the Wabnsh
case reported in 2nd Black and his last in re
Uurrus , the last of the judgments of the last
term on the last page of 1W5U. S. , not only
bear traces of the name liana , but they nro
not greatly unequal in accuracy of statement ,
force of reasoning , and Xhat felicity of Judi
cial style , which make his Judgments models
for such compositions.Vhiit ho .was at this
time , Is well attested by the judgments of his
associates , formed during the first term of his
sitting with them. The opinion of them all
was expressed by the venerable chief jus
tice. When the Judges were about to separ
ate and go to their circuits , Judge Tnnoytook
the young Justice warmly by the hand and
said : 'oVly Brother Miller , I nm an old and
broken man. I may neb bo hero when you
return. I cannot let you go without express
ing to you ray gratiJlcatloa that you
have coma among us. This has been
ono of the ploasautest terms I hnvci ever at
tended. I owe it greatly to your courtesy.
Your learning , zeal and powers of mind as
sure mo that you will maintain and advance
the high traditions of the court , I predict
for you n career of great usefulness 'and
honor' words that wero-a benediction. I am
Justified by this great authority in saying that
.fudge Miller came to his high ofllcosis compe
tent to do its duties as any other judge , liut
now begnn his great career , covering twenty-
eight years.
"Tho first duty to which ho addressed hlm
self is worth mentioning. Ho felt that holmd
not nn exact and thorough mastery of the
Jurisprudence of the federal courts. Ho
turned ntonco to the reports of the supreme
court and began with the first case , Miller vs
Miller , in 2 Dallas , and went through to the
very last ; Conway ct al. vs Taylor's execu
tor in 1 Black. Each In its order was read
and reread until ho had In his groan its facts ,
the reasoning of counsel , the opinion of the
court and the points decided ; comparison ono
with another proceeding as the number of
these already mastered , multiplied. To his
study ho gave all hU powers , and when it
was completed his capacious mind was stored
with all the learning of the court. Ho was
the equal of his eldest associate in the knowl
edge of what , the court had nald and of the
differences between the judges , and ho de
fined to himself exactly bis own opinions on
all points in dispute.
"Thojudlemlcareerof this eminent jurist
covers a period in the history of
the country of momentous interest.
When ho entered upon it , the war
between the two sections had Just brokun
out. It Immediately gave rise to many quds-
tlons of vital consequence. In the prize cases
the competency , legal and actual , of the na
tion , to close the ports of the insurrectionary
states , became of transcendent importance.
So , too , tljo suspension of the habeas corpus
by thoprosidontandtho jurisdiction assumed
by military courta over the citizen gave
ground for most serious contention. Those
nro but samples of the questions which the
war raised , _ , All the settled policies of ad
ministration were overturned and now prin
ciples now save as developed from the
maxims of the constitution were brought
into operation. At the close of the terrible
conflict states were to bo reconstructed and
tbo uiiloa consolidated. The relations of thu
great departments of the government were to
bo readjusted and doilncd anew. Interna
tional disputes of delicacy and gravity were
to bo determined. Many of the duties of the
citizen and many 6f the reciprocal duties of
stuto were to bo restated so ns to command
popular assent by the persuasive forcu of
temperate and reassuring but cogent reason
ing. In these supreme exigencies , all the va
rious Jurisdictions of the court were brought
Into active and vigorous exorcise.
"Nor was the process of the expansion of
the Judicial power terminated with the war
and the peculiar questions to which It gnvo
rlso. The vigor imparted to the popular mind
by the stimulating experiences of the great
contentions was ono of Its marvelous phe
nomena. The splint of enterprise and au-
venture which followed its close gave to
commerce an expansion ; to industries n
vigor ; emigration a volume ; to the discov
eries of rscloiicc , the devices of Invention and
theories of moral and political philosophy an
activity such as was never before ) conceived.
The judicial function touched all thcso move
ments at every point and followed all this
progress with immediate and vital assistance.
"In Its adequacy to its functions , in the
wisdom of their discharge , and in the splen
dor of its service , the court during this
period was equal. It not superior , to all it had
over boon ,
"In nil'these labors , Judge Miller bore his
full share ; ho never flagged in his duty from
first to last. No one of his judgments was
ill-considered or Imperfectly wrought out ,
With the possible exception of patent and aj-
inI rally oases , ho dealt with every subject
which was brought Into Judgment with com
pleteness of investigation , accuracy of ap
prehension and vigor of reasoning. Perhaps
the law of the puollo lands and of the consti
tution interested him mostntid received great
est exposition at his hands. Tlio grandeur of
his Intellect und the elevation of his charac
ter , especially IHUxl him to deal adequately
With constitutional questions. His judgment *
may ho estimated by comparison with these
of Chief Justice Marshall. They nro in num.
bors mmiv times greater : in the novcltv nrnl
gravity of the questions Involved nnd In hit
nowcr of demonstration , they are fully equal to
thosoof the great expounder. Putsldobystda
the cases of Dartmouth college , the united
States bank nnd Mnrbury v Madison on tlio
ono side and the Slaughter House , tlio Legal
Tender and the Nnglo cases on the other , and
in no quality of jualchu pcrformnnco will a
Just estimate glvo precedence to cither.
"I must hasten to the last supreme moment
of this -great llfo. On the Hah of May last
Judge Miller read from the honch the opinion
In ro Ilurrui , nnd at , once the court ad-
journcd for the term , How short nnd film Is
our vision of the future I Ho undo farewell
to his associates with the melancholy fear
Hint two of them would never ngnlntnho
their scats in the court , so heavily had the
duties of the term berne iipon thorn. Ho
went to his circuit , anxious to vhlt ns munv
of tlio districts M ho could , feel
ing sure it was for the last tluio.
Ho came here , where ho always loved
to como as much ns to any other of the dis
tricts of his circuit. Ho sat by tlio side of
your Honor in the scat of Justice. In Colorado
ho experienced Horlous mconvcnlcnco from
the peculiarity of the cllmato , but was de
tained there by the illness of hh wlfo nnd
his love for n little child. Ho returned to
Wnihlngton his strength not recruited by the
vacation. On Friday before the Monday ap
pointed by law for the beginning of the term ,
ho went to the cnpltol. Ho visited the oftlccs
of the dork and tlio marshal ; sat down in the
library of tha judges , spent n while In their
retiring room and then went into the court
room. Ho stood whcro so many great men
had stood ancl addressed him. Ho passed
around to the scut from which ho had read
his Judgments. What recollections ; so many ,
so intcrostinir , so niTcctlng must have
crowded upon his memory I "What antic
ipations of yet some years of llfo ,
of service , of affection , nndof honor
must have filled his breast. It was the last
ti mo ho over entered that place , but ono. Ho
turned to his homo , lie wus within Bight of
It ho had not reached It ho was stricken
down. After a few hours of consciousness ,
the world and all It hold , fatlod out of his
sight. Through a great concourse of his fel
low citizens ho was berne back to tlio capital
and the court room. Tlio rites for tlio dead
were performed so simply , so consistent with
hUchuractor. In his old homo , among his
friends , bosldu his own kin , ho was laid to
rest.
rest."Thero
"Thero Is ono thing of which I must spcnk
It is most fit to bo mentioned liore. Ho
held as fur above nil honors , the vocation of a
lawyer. Ho scorned the mnn who had talten
the vows of the profession and had failed to
keep them ; ho grlovcd when any ono had
served it to n ripe ago mid did not still cling
to it. Ho used to remonstrate with his
friends who contemplated retirement while
their powers remained. Ho would Hay that
the true lawyer Is seized of nn estate as
secure nnd venerable ns an estate In lands :
Its income moro certain than rents ; its dig
nity higher than that of acre1 ! . Many "good
lawyers who met this vital man when on tlio
circuit were stimulated by his enthusiasm for
the law nnd renewed again thole rowa of nl-
leglancotoit.
"Any portraiture of Judge Miller's char
acter would bo Incomplete which docs not
present another side to it , which was never
seen by many men , They looked upon" him
when in tbo publicoxerclso of the magistracy ,
There ho was serious , nlraost to sternness.
Ho was impatient of incompotcncy nnd p re
tention nnd expressions sometimes
escaped him which ho did not meas
ure. Ho never used words of sev
erity to any counsel who assisted the discus
sion ; to such ho v as all attention. But the
court was sacred In Ills eves as the Ark of
God , nnd ho who desecrated It , deserved the
fate of Uzzah.
"Hut In truth ho was n very gentle nature.
His sympathies were active and very warm.
Ho rejoiced with thoscr who do rojolco arid ho
wept with these who wept. Voti may know
how lively were his sensibilities from the
rending by which ho i-ofreshod himself ; cer
tain of the Enitllsh poets and the Wavorly
novels were his delight from boyho3tlnnd ho
was never too old to enloy lidos that were
picturesque and full of character and patnos.
Ho was a very human mnn , and in nothing
more so than his love of his friends. Mlsfor-
une , oven wrong-doing ; did not turn his face
fromtncm ; his charity wns boundless , and
ho would bravo the world in giving them n
succor that \vas chivalrous. It was a duty of
piety with him to answer the request for help
which came from tlio children and the chil
dren's children of his early friends , and his
delight was to talk of them and of these
whom ho long had loved. Of all this I could
tell you tales that would nmko you ccaso to
wonder why so many tears are shed for him.
"A word must bo said of his religious con
victions , Ho was reared in the Oalvinistlc
faith a doctrlno not altogether lovely , but
which toughens the moral llbro of Hsdoscl-
pies. In his man hoodhis , mind revolted from
Its harsh and dark confession and ho accepted
the milder nnd moro human belief of Unl-
tnrlanism. For years ho was president of the
national conference , and ho wns a devout
worshipper at the altars of his communion.
But his mind w.is little occupied with
dogma ; religion to him was n life its
end was character. Ho hold it useful to his
soulnotso much because It fitted him for
death and the llfo beyond death , as l > o > ; auso
it lifted his nature hero In this world up to
the divine. Ho did not indulge in much dis
course of his religions life , but ho wns In
truth a devout man , Many years ngo ho un
derwent a surgical operation of great delica
cy and hazard , Ho hnrdly escaped alive.
After his deliverance ho called his pastor to
his hnme. nnd with him and his fnmlly , knelt
down as humble us a llttlo child uad thanked
his Heavenly Father for Ills merer.
At the conclusion of Judge Woolworth's '
