FEES COUNT UP. Clerk McKinney of the United States Supreme Court, Receives About $20,000 a Year Sal ary Through the Fee System. Thomas P. Cleaves Valuable Man lo the House —Personal Notes. Washington, I). Celt. —(Special). —Before ho departed from Washing ton, where he successfully pressed the famous Clrant claim lieforc Congress. Attorney Herbert M. Heath of Augus ta. was admitted to practice l)efore the supreme court of the I'ntted States, of which a former Augusta man. Mel ville W. Culler, is chief justice. The ceremony is a very simple one, consist ing only of a motion by some lawyer already entitled to practice there that the applicant be admitted. In Mr. Heath's ease the motion was made by Clen. Henderson of Iowa, a prominent member of Congress for many years. The certificate is a proud trophy for attorneys, for it entitles Ihctn to prac tice before all the courts of the Cnion. in any state whatever. A moderate fee ol $111 is charged i>y the clerk of the supreme court from all attorneys admitted and thereby hangs an interesting lale. The salary of the clerk was fixed some years a so at $60fifi a year, the present encumbent being James 11 Mo Kenney, a gentleman ver\ favorably known in the District of Columbia. There was. however, a pe culiar wording of the law. which lie was aide to construe in a manner that warranted him in using, as a perquisite of his oilier, all fees received from at torneys when admitted to practice This swelled his salary enormously so that he is currently reported as receiv ing'll total salary of a year. AVhen it is remembered that Oli d' Ju tiee Fuller receives a salary of $Pi..Viii a year and that the other justices of the highest tribunal in the Unit'd Stales receives $10,000 a year one will be able to comprehend what a g" >d thing Clerk MeKenney really has. Tin lawmakers, in the present session of Congress have been trying to nnib mine Mr. MoKenney's "good tiling" by requiring that, these fees shall be turned into the treasury of the Unit'd Slates. A provision has been ii it■ in the legislative, executive and judi cial appropriation Mil to that effect and it will probably become law. So while Mr. Heaths ten dollar bill lias already been filed away fur Mr. M Kenney's private bank account, the money of the next Maine lawyer, whs seeks admission to practice before til supreme court of the United States, will probably lie reckoned in with the revenues of the great republic. The supreme court room is'-near tIt Senate and was, in fact, formerly occu pied as the hall lor the Senate. Thai was in the early days when the Sen ate was not as large a body as it is at present. The judges sit facing the ast and the entrance to the court 4'0ni it a long bench. Chief Justice Fuller be ing at the center. On account of his position he is easily identified by strangers hut he is also a conspicuous figure lteeuu.se of tiis long white hail and short stature, in which respects he is quite distinct from his legal breth ren. «>1 I III.' I! I' 11 .11 j n«l of ilv Capitol these days is Thom as 1". Cleaves, formerly of Portland, and a brother of cx-fJovvrnor Cleaves of .Viainn. lit* is tho trusted cierk of the Senate appropriations com mil toe and holds a uninun position. Administra clolls might noun* and no, tin* Senate might lm Unpulilinan or it might i'** Dnmoi ratio, Intt Mr Cleaves would still go on in his position. H** has hold it for many yonrs, drawing a salary of $:!(K)0 pm annum. That is because lm has mado himself indisponsaldo in his plane and because no other man nan he found from any party, who nan without long training, perform the work satisfactorily. 'I'll* same is true on th** House side, whore the clerk if ihe House appropriations committee, although ti Democrat originally, holds hit-: position undisturbed. Mr. Cleaves is master of all the details of appro priations, past and present, and serves, with uniform courtesy. Democratic and Kopuhliean senators. The services ot such a man are almost invaluable to j Congress for ll** is able often to save i tin* government embarrassment in th* appropriation of money. But tew senators or representatives keep post-j »'d on the details of appropriations. x s'cpt in a general way. and they niutd j have at hand in convenient form for reference a vast deal id inlormntioTi which no one man could have, unless bo made that his speeial and only study. Often on the lloor of tin- Hone* or Senate members attack provimons of tli*1 appropriation bill or make searching itniuirics. In tin- Senate M Cleaves always sits by the side of ilw senator in charge of an appropriation bill and conies to his assistance in je t each emergencies. While tin- work on an average for only six months of 1 vcar ii requires a great deal of car1 ini study and during l lit* closing day s oi a session, especially a short session, tit.* clerk is compelled to work day and night and must show almost super human endurance,, for appropriation hills are rushed through with great rapidity and some one must In* able t prevent egregious blunders Mr I’*.

Julian lias a unique scheme to raisi monej t" pay for its now $^00,0U0,00 navy.

He imagined that the proposition to furnish the silver min owners with an unlimited market for their bullion at tone its market value would sweep the country, and that he would he the chosen tender of this grt it visionary movement.

I'm Mr. Tell, like Onerar. is ambitious. He feels sure tliai. by l!’!."1. Mr. Ibyan will have talked himself on: of seriow. consideration as a presidential candi date. Mr. Telle! will then lie 7'i yeti.s of age and like lkirkis. willin', lie lias fell the necessity of putting out a few political lightning rods, hence liis re lent inti ml in t ion into the Senate of the resolution declaring that tile bonds of the i'niled Slates may tie paid in sil ver dollars which was so piomplly and effectually snowed under in tin- House Mr. Teller lias no cate for the vital in terests of liis countrymen. Ii is of r i concern to him that tin* credit of tip* country should he impaired, that the wage eatners should be paid for th.-ir holiest toil in dollars worth but half as much as those they now reoeiv-*: that tile pensions of the old soldiers should lioeut in twoitliat the little sav ings of toil wherever invested should lie shitink one-half: that this country should part company with the other great powers of the world and take ip; plgce wiih poor id Mexie i as a us.-i of a second rate depreciated cutiency. No, these things count as nothing with Mr. Teller as compared with his yank ing personal ambitions. Recent events have clearly established this fact. Al ready he is recovering from the effects of the frosts which stiuek hint at the Chicago convention in 1896, and is bus ily engaged In laying his pipes for 1909. While the chances of securing the Democratic nomination for the presi dency may not lie inspiring. Mr. Teller is eager to take them. Hut. under no circumstances will it avail him any thing. No advocate of th" free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 18 to 1. or any other fictitious ratio, will ever lie elect, d to tile presidency of the United States. For a civilized y the act of the Oennan government there has been much talk, both In the press of our country and at Washington, concern ing prompt retaliation against German products.

The re lief committee members are working like heavers to relieve the needy, work ing as hard as though they were in the mill, with as much sympathy and dis crimination as ever accompanied any charitable work. They are hunting up people of whose existence they had never known.in whom they have no in terest except that they are needy, help ing them, not to keep them in line with tile strikers, for they know that almost every one that has been helper! would go into the mills if the gates wpi-■ op-ned at any rate of wages A strike that develops such good Samaritans is not altogether an evil. There wasn't room out of doors for all tile snow that fell In Dexter, last week, if we can trust the story of mi“ woman's experience as told by an ex change. During the night the wind had torn her storm door from its fast enings and burst open the door of the bouse. Shortly after midnight the lady I of tin- house was aroused by a draft of air. and a noise that caused her to gci up and investigate. Her surprise can lie hotter imagined than described when she entered, or attempted to en ter the room into which the door above mentioned, opened. The wind bad drifted the snow and piled it into th room, till it neatly reached the ceiling. Si vorai hours were required to shovel the snow out of the house. How often it is that our tongues get us into trouble. Generally, however, the trouble is of a different kind than that which befell a little Belfast hoy. A gentleman noticed hint standing in front of ;t store on one of tilt* coldest mornings, last week, crying in a most pitiful way. I'pon examination he found the hoy had been looking in the window, at some toys, and child like, hail unconsciously put his tongue upon the brass railing, where it froze and all efforts to break away caused terrible pain. The man tit once warmed the railing setting the boy free with but little injury.

Col. Stetson was wary and the laugh went the rounds. How the spirit of the patriot mani fested itself. Friday, at the banquet of the hotel men. The true patriotic heart swelled with pride as the elo quence of the speakers rolled out rich sentences of the word picture of the good old State of Maine. There was Mr. Commissioner Carleton who has the best interests of the Stale at heart. He plunged into the lakes and river's of Maine with a readiness that indica ted his pride in his home and his work uh the chairman of the commission that has to with one of the greatest industries that any state can boast of There was Hon. H. W. Matthews of the lai>or bureau, who is as conversant with the problems of the State's greatness as any man within its I (orders. He climbed the mountains and hills of the State; he toyed with the sentinel crags of the magnificent scenery of Maine and told of the won derful change that had come over Maine industrially and in national im portant e until the guests at the tables enthusiastically applauded. Th-n there was Attorney General Hain-s who is never at loss for a word hi Speaking the praises of his native Slate, lit- knows the State from Cari bou in the Aroostook to Kittery Point and lie told of the magnificence of Maine as compared with that of the other states of the I’nion. Maine tan give the other statefe one hun dred points handicap and then beat them all. Maine never fared so well at the hands of any crowd of men as Friday. It was a rare occasion. It was the grand prelude to the song that every Maine man sings abroad and at J home.—Maine first, last, and all the I time.

On one side is the over whelm iny senti ment of the American people, fortified by tin- traditions of its wisest and furthest seeing statesmanship, and Inspired by the patriotism that marks the progress of the world and looks ahead. On the other side are the disciples of Mugwump pessimism, the chronic ob structionists. the constant advocates of .surrender, the survivors and apologists of (T'-velandism. and the men generally who are happiest when the flag is being hauled down. That is the only party division that we know Of. with regard to the natural amt orderly process of national expansion and the interests of this country in the I'acitic ocean of the twentieth century.

Reflections ol a Bachelor. Woman wouldn't be near so much of a curiosity if she didn't have any. No man can keep «i secret when he's in love and no woman can keep a. secret when site isn't. Probably women like cats because they 4 always act so unhappy when it’s raining1 r outdoors. Most men would rather be held up by a footpad for all they’ve got than to hold up a baby for live minutes. No girl has any idea how* much she cares for a man till she begins to have an idea how little he cares for her. A woman is attractive in much the same way as the North Pole Is.

The importance of nerves is never realized until they become diseased. Athletes most of all should be sure that their nerves are healthy. In the following letter written to the Red-Ikon Piu. Co. is embodied i story of a well-known bicycle rider who “lost his nerve,” and as his etter shows, found it again. Rhd-Iron-Pii.i. Co., Portland. Maine Last spring when I started to tide 1 found my nerves were in a deplorable condition. I «at> hardlv able to ride the shortest distance. To take a long ride meant that I became completely unstrung, and would liardlv be able to sleep tor s, to follow I knew something must be done, so took Dr. Clarke's Rtn Iron-Pim.s. am now strong and we ll in every respect, and have been able from that time to this to ride anv distances without feeling anv incon venience. To all wiio ride bicycles and have experienced that feeling of nerve exhaustion. I most cheerfully recommend these Red-Iron Pii.es." Yourstrulv, Jas. T. Dki.anicv. Mr. Delaney is color-bearer of the Lovell Bicycle Club, of Portland. Maintyand is well-known in tliati itv and vicinity. 11 is experience has been that of many other riders, as in fact thousands of people who find that they are daily retarded by this same nerve prostration, from taking the most ordinary gxercise. The cause of course is worn out nerves and impure blood. S^cli ^.combina tion. if unchecked, speedily results in serious complications th prove fatal. All who suffer from worn out nerves and 1 and the thousands of ills that attend such a condition, shofild and can find relief in im. im xi Ri.d-Ikon-Pii i.s.

We had ail kinds of weather, la.-t wi 'k. anj it would be hard to find th kind which suited the- best The first and the middle of'the week were in tensely odd; Tuesday l»rought the roughest and most disastrous snow storm and blizzard for many years] and with Saturday came warm weather and rain and snow. Mr. .1 O. Varney, who was in the city. Saturday, from West Gardiner, tells of one stretch of road from 4 to S feet deep where a crew of 10 men had been employed for 13 days, and did not get it opened up till at>out the Fme he reached them. In fact his was the firs: team through. In many places the country roads are still hlooked. The sleigh had drawn up before th" store, and one of the efficient clerks happened for the moment to he looking out of the window, watching the occu- pant of the sleigh as he threw the robe, furside outside, over the patient horse. "You will observe," said the clerk, "how many there are who will do that. Now. you see. that man will get hairs all over his clothing. When the robe is taken from the horse it will have gathered a lot of hair from hik back, on the skin-side of the robe, being inside. >f course, if the driver had laid the robe on the horse, skin side outside, the hairs would soon bio a away from the fur-side. or. at least, not g«-t till over the clothing." .1 A Milliken. a driver n one or (’has. \V. Trask's teams, met "’it-1 v. hat came near being a serious aoei i dent. He was hauling ice from the river above the dam to Getchell’s ic1' house hack of the Journal office. While going down the grade from Ws ter street to the lane which leads to the ice house the pin on the head set of runners broke and let the sled down onto the hoises. At this moment th' rear runners slewed and the load went over. One eake hit Mr. Milliken on tie hack and while it lamed him quite bad ly it was not serious. it the si** I hadn't tipped over just as it did t would prohahly have broken the horse legs and seriously injured Mr. M '1' ken if In.’ had escaped with his life.
