DEATH OF JUDGE SroRY.-This en-

the evening of the lO;hCf September. at
his residence in Cambridge, at quarter
before . O'Clock. His pulse had ceased

graduated at Harvard University in 1898.
He was appointed Associate Justice Of the
United States, by President Madison, in

versity. HIS commanding talents as a
Lawyer. and the peculiar felicity with
which he impaired to others the rich stores
of his own mind, gave Harvard Law
School preeminence over all other sim
liar Institutions.


The fame of Story was not confined TO
our country. He had desrvedly high
European reputation. His name reflected
honor on the high post of honor which he
held. Jay. Ellsworth, Marshall, Story and
others have given character to the Court.
and made it what The trainers oi the Con
stiruiion intended it to be. The crowning glo-
ry of a free and law abiding people Few
OF the great men who had given lusture to
the Supreme Court have done so much for
the clear exposition of IFS laws. Marshall
and Story rank side by side ir this respect.
Cool Judgment. great learning, iirmness Of
character. stict integri y, clear head and
a pure heart, rendering him eninenly fit
for that place, now vacant, and which we
fear cannot be filled. A substitute we may
and shall have-his equal we cannot ex-
TO find. The LOT ines of his inteilec.-the
purity of his gentle spirit-the magic spell
with which his conversation charmed his
hearers-made him the idol Of every circle
in which he moved.
