"Dear Mr. Chief Justice and Breth
ren Near the close of the last term, feel
ing that the duties of my office had be
come too arduous for my strength, I
transmitted my resignation to the pres
ident, to take offect the first of Decem
ber next, and this he has accepted with
kindly expression of regard, as will be
seen from a copy of the letter, which is
as follows :
'Executive Mansion, Wash.,
October 9.
" 'Hon. Stephen J. Field, Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States My Dear Sir: In April
last, Chief Justice Fuller, accompanied
by Brewer, handed me your resignation
as a justice of the supreme court of the
United States, to take effect December
1, 1897. In hereby accepting your res
ignation, I wish to express my deep re
gret that you feel compelled, by ad
vancing years, to sever your active con
nection with the court of which you
have been so long a distinguished mem
ber. Entering upon your great office
in May '62, you will, on the first of De
cember next, have served on this
bench for a period of thirty-four years-
and seven months, a term longer than
any member Of the court since its cre
ation, and throughout a period of special
importance in the history of the coun
try, occupied with as grave public ques
tions as have ever confronted that tri
bunal for decision.
" 'I congratulate you, therefore, most
heartilyupon a service of each exceptional
duration, fidelity and distinction. Nor
can I overlook that you received your
commission of Abraham Lincoln, and,
graciously spared by kind providence,
have survived all the members of the
court of his. appointment.
" 'Upon your retirement both bench
and country will sustain a great loss,
but the high character and great ability
of your work will live long to bo remem
bered not only by your colleagues but
by your greatful fellow countrymen.
" 'With personal . esteem and Bincere
best wishes for your contentment and
happiness in the period of rest which
you have so well earned, I am, my dear
sir, very truly yours,
William McKinley.'
"My judicial experience covers many
years of service. Having been elected a
member of the supreme court of Cali-
Cured by
"Happy Thought"
Salve.
"I was troubled with an Eczema or
eruption on the' hands for two years. ..I
spent quite a sum of money without get
ting a cure. . Then I commenced using
Garland's Happy Thought Salve. I have
used six or eight jars, and am cured. It
is a great' medicine, and I can fully rec
ommend it to anyone troubled with skin
disease." J. M. E. ATKINSON, .

fornia, I assumed that office on October
13, 1857, holding it for five years seven
month and five days, tbe latter part of
the time being chief justice. On the
tenth of March 1863, I was commission
ed by President Lincoln justice of the
United States, taking the oath of office
on the tenth day of May following.
"When my resignation takes effect
my period of service on this bench will
have exceeded that of any of my pred
ecessors, while my entire period of ju
dicial life will have embraced more
than forty years. I may be pordoned
for Baying that during all this period,
long in comparison with the brevity of
human, life, though in retrospect, it has
gone with a swiftness of a tale that is
told, I have not shunned to declare in
every case that has come before me for
decision conclusions which my deliber
ate convictions compelled me to arrive
at, but conscientious exercise of such
abilities and requirements as I possess
ed." Something to Depend On.
Mr, James-Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking
of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
LaGrippe, and her case grew ao serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav
ing Dr. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she be
gan to get better from the first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound
and well. Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
it. Free trial bottles at Biakeley &
