It has been his theory and his practice has ac corded with his theory that a Judge sit ting upon the bench of the higher courts, which must now and then deal with Ques tions Involving political dominance, should scrupulously avoid all active participation In politics beyond the casting of his own secret ballot at elections.

He refuses to be interviewed. He refuses even to sea newspaper men, lest he compromise that Judicial dignity the preservation of which he regards as a supreme duty. By way of explanation he said to an old and tried friend the other day that be was not a candidate for the presidency or for any other political offlca "I am chief Judge of the court of ap peala of New Tork," ha added. "So long as I hold that office It would be an In decenoy for me to become an active can didate for any other plaoe. I am not such a canaiaate. I am aware that my name Is Just now freely spoken of In connection with the presidency. With that I have nothing whatever to do. But as chief Judge of the court of last resort in this State it would In no wise become ma to do any aot or to say any word which might wy.u remotely seem t be a seeking of such a nomination." I have taken down this lrtt.miu tmm the lips of one of Judge Parker's nearest mna most trusted friends, who permitted me a few days ago to copy the exact words as he repeated them.

This reserve is of unn. hiirhiv tinnK. able to Judge Parker's sense of Judicial propriety and equally so to a dignity of mind whloh Is In strange contrast with me nurkstertng methods of soma athar seekers after convention votea ad this dignity la characteristic of the man.

He has for nine teen years held a place among the higher Judiciary of his state, honored .nv. h governors ef both parties for his Integrity, nis aigmry ana bis profound respect for the Judicial offlca During all that time he has never ones taken part In any partisan controversy and never once has he uttered a sentence, in publlo or In private, that could be construed as partisan. And yet he Is a man of strong political conviction Before he was elevated to the bench he conducted a democratic state campaign as chairman of the exeootlve committee. He was on of Mr. Cleveland's earliest and moat earnest supporters, one of the strongeet of those men who saw In Mr. Cleveland a candidate fit to repre sent the best traditions of his party and fit also as president to bring the country back to It ancient moorings.' Yet when Mr. Cleveland asked him to aecept an honorable and lucrative office Judge Parker declined. His political activity had had no trace or lalnt of self-seeking In It.

Morton, a republican, who designated hem aa a member of the appellate division of the supreme court. Governor Morton did this solely in recognition of the admirable ser vice which Judge Parker had rendered ss a supreme court Justloe and as a member of the Second division of tha court of ap peals, a post to which Governor HiU had assigned him. In 1897 he was the demecratlo candidate for the offloe he now holds, that ef chief Judge of the court of appeala It has been erroneously stated In some newspapers that the republicans nominated no candi date against him and that he was unani mously elected. Buoh was not the ease. The republicans nominated a strong man In opposition, but Judge Parker was elected by more than SO.OOO plurality. Judge Parker Is not eulte R years old. In persen he Is a large man, six feet In height, broad In the shoulders and un usually musoular. Although he can-lea not an ounce of what athletlo trainers oall "superfluous flesh," his weight la nearly 200 pounds. It la 100 pounds of bone and brawn and brains. He has not the slightest tendency to obesity. His chest measure exceeds his waist measure by many Inches, but his arms and legs are large, and even under the disguise of garments that fit him well the muscles both abovs and below are always In evldeno to every observant eye. atarally Stalwart, j They are not the muscles, however, of the trained athlete, not muscles developed at the expense of general health. I cannot learn that he ever In his life practised In a gymnasium or did any other of the things that are commonly and very mistakenly supposed to minister to a desirable muscu larity. His stalwart form and superb strength, were acquired, as those of the great majority of Americano have boon, by a life of farm work and out of door living. Ho was bora the son of a hard wanting farmer who had so lit Us of this world's goods that for lack of means ho had to give up a cherished purpose of sending his son through college. from bis earliest childhood that boy was a farm worker, and be la so yet.

' Judge Parker has a largo and , sym metrical head, with a smooth forehead, which haa aoqntred some additional domain by tho recession of tho hah- above It That hair la of copper oolor, fine and soft, as tho hair of intellectual men Is apt to be. On his face bo wears only a mustache, light In color and therefore less aggressive upon attention than It would bo If its hue were dark. His features are large, well moulded and strong. Tho chin cspeolallly Is pronounoed, and It Is suggestive of great determination, while tho gentle half smile that plays around tho lips above It gives ample warrant that tho determination can never bo of a kind hostile to anything except wrong. Tho complexion la florid, but Its ruddi ness suggests only good health, temperate habits and much exposure to tho sun and tho wind. Tho Indications of tho head and face are fully confirmed by what wo know of the man. Ho Is calm, self-possessed and cool headed. His temperament la In absolute contrast with that of Mr. Roosevelt He does nothing and says nothing upon Im pulse.

TRADING STAMPS ABSOLUTELY FREE to me was, In substance, and as nearly as I can recall his words, this: "Judge Parker Is possessed of all those qualities of mind, character and tempera ment which were regarded in tho early days of tho republic as essential to one who might be thought of for tho presi dential place. He haa a high and unsul lied moral character, of course. Ho has an upright and relentlessly honest mind, it would never occur to him aa the execu tive chief of the nation to usurp the func tions of tho legislative branch of tho gov ernment and by executive order enact laws which congress bad refused to enact "Ho has a personal dignity, too, which would utterly and absolutely forbid him while president to conduct a campaign for convention delegates by way of securing his own renomlnatlon by his party or his own re-election by tho people. Ho would scorn such activities, as Jefferson, Madi son and Monroe scorned them. x "Indeed, his nomination. If Jt shall bo made, will bo a pronounced return to the democratla traditions of tho Jeffersonlan time. It win also Involve tho restoration of the democratlo parry to sanity and soberness after that debauch of anarchism for which Mr. Bryan and his populists compelled it unwittingly to stand sponsor. It will bring back to the party which beat and most truly represents the ideas and Impulses and aspirations of the American people all that multitude of voters who reluctantly voted against It In tho two latest presidential elections hecauso tho machinery of the party organization had been seised upon by populists and an archists and a csndldato had been nomi nated whose election would have spelled chaos and black night for tho country. Extraordinary Executive Ability, ''Another thing," added this eminent Judge, "Judge Parker has a truly extraor dinary executive ability. He knows how to do things and how to get things done. I have familiar and friendly acquaintance, of course, with every member of tho court of last resort, over which ho presides. Ono and all of them testify that nsver be fore In the history of that court was busi ness so well conducted. Ho holds tho law yers strictly to their buslnesa When tho court renders a decision ho permits no lawyer to argue the matter adjudicated. "Ho allows no waste of time. He is al ways tho first Judge present on the bench, and he remains always until tho court edjourna In tho meanwhile he Insists that business shall go on with no delays and no Interruption.

He has a mother whom ho reveres, a wife whom he loves as he did In the days of their courtship, some grown up children, who rejoice to be with him when they can, and some little grand children who regard htm as "good fun" when be gets an opportunity to frollo with them. This he does riotously. Ho Is a hearty eater 'of wholesome food, as a man must be who would maintain such a physique as his in health and vigor. But his tastes are simple, wholesome and temperate. I have many times sat with him throughout an evening In a club room, where everybody else, or nearly everybody, was freely Indulging In wine or spirits, while he, without that oetentatlous refusal of proffered hospitality which might have seemed a Pharisaical rebuke, quietly oon tented himself with oarbonlo water or something else of that Innocent kind. While he haa abstained, as has been said, from all participation in partisan wrangles since his elevation to the bench. Judge Parker is a thorough paced democrat. He Is a firm believer In the principles of human liberty, equal rights and equal laws for all men which Jefferson and a long line of democratlo otatesmen of the golden age advocated. He was a special friend of Samuel J. Tilde n, of Grover Cleveland and Of Daniel Manning. He is a typical American dtlxen, upright, clean. Industrious, healthy, dignified, gently disposed, resolute for right, patriotic, mod est and In no conceivable way self-seeking. Ho believes In Jaw, In the constitution, in the equality of men, In personal liberty, in local self-government In brief, hi all those principles that have created this re publics of ours and made it great ls raw ' Caivorsal.

NEWSPAPER "ADS" ARE BEST British Merchants Gather Wisdom After Wasting Good Money on Handbills. V . Prom various souroea, says a London cablegram, there oomes abundant infor mation, not only of the Ineffectiveness of tosulng o hart table appeala by post, but the Inutility of clrcullalng generally. . Tho manager of a distributing agency admitted that advertisers were discover ing that tha hand bill thrust into a letter box was not so productive as It was a tew years ago, "Strange though it may seem," he ad ded, "there was a time when the hand bill was rather welcome, especially If it were of a pictorial kind. But now it Is re garded as a nuisance, because there aro too many.' A hand bill to claim any at tention nowadays must be very striking; but the men capable of designing such an attraction are almost unobtainable." Tho managing director of a printing firm which probably produoea the majority of hand bills and circulars In London said: "It is quite futile in these days to at tempt to obtain business ' by circulars. People are not only tired of them, but re gard them as such a nuisance that im mediately they are dropped Into the letter box or flung into the hall, where thoy are picked up by a servant and transferred to the dust bin. "In some districts, notably tho West End, hand' bills have become such an affliction that, the police have been appealed to. "Tiien, again, householders are constantly complaining of newly cleaned steps being soiled by the deliveries of hand bills, of tho constant Injury of bells, and the not In frequent disappearance of trifles from tho halls. In such trying circumstances how can the advertisers expect custom to fol low? "But tha hand bill as an advertising me dium is doomed. There has lately been a noticeable fulling off In tho orders, and I, as much a victim of the nuisance as anyl body, do not deplore tho fact" Chlpago Inter Ocean la a Class All Aloae.
