SO: ; INTO SLAVERY. Dally Ledger, j A colored man In KnorvlUe is said to have sold himself into slavery. For $1000 he agrees to serve and obey his master until death. The agreement Is In the form of a written contract, and is as valuable as the .crap of paper containing U. The white man will f.'id that instead of buying a negro he has bought a gold brick. There are no human beings for sale in this coun tty. There is no chance to ive le gal title. A man may sell his serv ices but he may not .cae himself a thing of natter. To go through the form of entering into a state of luv ery Is to go through an idle form; slavery has been abolished. The purchaser in this instance is clerk of a court ani ought to have eonie knowledge of court procedure. If he lacks this knowledge tie is likely to acquire it suddenly at an expense to himself of J1000. At any moment the negro choses to repudiate the arrangement he is at liberty to do so, and there is no statutory provision by wlrich the speculative clerk can levy on the hide and wool of the party of the second part, and therefore when ever the matter shall come to a test the clerk will be out the sum he has advanced, and rightly served. To permit such a transaction to stand would be against public policy. If men could sell themselves into slavery, the operation would not be rare. There are emergencies In which the temptation to take advantage of the possibility of securing money leads people to any extreme. If they could sell their bodies, they would do so. Possibly they have the power to sell their souls, but their visible propor tions are under the jurisdiction of so ciety. 3" THE NEW MEMBER OP THE U. S. SUPREME COURT. Some Important changes in the su preme court of the United States have taken place In the acceptance by Pres ident Roosevelt of the resignation of Associate Judge Horace Gray, of Mas sachusetts, who has been a -member since 1S82, and the appointment to the vacancy of Oliver Wendell Holmes, son of the distinguished author of that name, and for some years past ch,!ef justice of. the supieme judicial court of Massachusetts, a position Mr. Gray also occupied before r.n eleva tion to the place he has Just resigned on acount of age limit. Justice Holmes bears a splendid rep utation as a Jurist, and the supreme court loses nothing of its character for erudition and fairness by Ms ap- JOB mm DEI'AliTIM EOWARO PRIOt, MNGtn First-Class U p-t c-D a t e Work UNION LAllOK ONLY "I luv a rooster (tut tow limits one Is the krow that in In him, aud the other iz the Hir that air on him to bak up hie krow with."

Besides being learned In the law and pos'swd of a rare discrimination, Justice Holmes shows some of tht? qualities of his famous father. He Is genial and witty. There Is no doubt of his thorough loy alty to American Institutions, for he bears throe wounds, received on as many famous battlefields In the war for the fnlon. He was a commission ed officer at 20 years of age.
