Attorney General Taylor In speaking of ,the decision of the United v States Supreme Court "which was handed down on Monday by Justice Harlan, In the Neely embezzlement case, said: "I read the opinion as It appeared In the newspapers and I think It was one of the most wholesome that has been written In recent years. It clarified the air which has been filled w.lh du3t by alleged constitutional lawyers. Nothing could be better stated than Judge Harlan's opinion when he declared that thla country had the unquestionable right to take Cuba, under Its control in trust until public order and civil authority were restored and established throughout the Island. The hair-splitting theories of magazine writers on the constitutional status of Cuba are thrust rudely aside by this splendid, wholesome opinion. There will be ro further rational doubt that' we hold Cuba In trust not for the cruel Spaniard nor the bandit Insurgent, but for the great middle class, tax-paying reconcentrado. The land Is for the law-abiding. God-fearing, tax-paying citizens of Cuba. "Jn the original declaration of war this country proclaimed Its purpose In driving th Spaniards from Cuba was not to annex it to this country, and this the court holds is binding." Mr. Taylor went on to F.ay: "After the war was over Congress passed a law establishing court3 and a system of civil Jurisprudence throughout the island and provided for an election to be held and establi? neu a ova government in every particular. Neely claimed that this act fastened Cuba to the United States practically as a part of our domain. The Supreme Court says, however, in this very vigorous opinion that Congress only carried out in a Just and proper way Its sacred trust as first declared after the Maine had been blown up."

y- FOR An

DEATH OF W. P. FISHBACK

hi: was omi or tiik nr.sT-Kxow. LAWYERS IN THE STATE. For Years a Inr Partner of cneral Harrison nnel Albert (i. PorterSketch of Ills Mfe. The sudden death of William P. Fishback at his home, 1101 North Delaware street, yesterday morning at 8:3d o'clock, removed from Indiana's capital a man who has been prominent from a State, national and International standpoint. Although Mr. Flshback has been In declining health for two years and a half past, his end came with a suddenness that shocked and appalled even those who had watched by his bedside with the most unremitting fidelity. When the papers on Monday reported that he was In a dying condition, his family and friends were Indignant over the publication, and denied Its truthfulness with vigor, declaring that Mr. Flshback was on the road to recovery, being able to sit up in bed and read. As a matter of fact, he did sit up and look at the morning paper yesterday morning only a few minutes before the occurrence of the hemorrhage which brought death sooner than any one had anticipated. After the operation which was performed on Mr. Flshback in New York the 13th of last November, it became certain that he could never hope to recover. He was afflicted with a cancer In the Intestinal region, and the surgeons who performed the operation found it useless to carry their work further, as the matter had progressed too far to be amenable to human effort. Despite his great sufferings, Mr. Fishback's remarkable serenity of disposition remained his most lovable attribute to the very end. He was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church, but his warm friendship for Bishop Chatard and Father Bessonles led him frequently during the last few years of his life to attend the Church of SS. reter and Taul. Mr. Fishback's high literary attainments drew him quite naturally into the membership of most of the city's prominent clubs whose objects are the promotion of sodality and literary culture. Not merely was his name enrolled, but he was also an active worker in the Indianapolis Literary, the Fortnightly, the Century, University and Commercial Clubs and In the German House, having but recently withdrawn from these organizations on account of his broken health. The funeral services have not been definitely arranged, but will probably be held at the family home to-morrow afternoon, and will be strictly private, in accordance with Mr. Fishback's expressed wishes before his demise. The Indianapolis Bar Association will meet In the United States courtroom this afternoon at 3 o'clock to take appropriate action on the death of Mr. Flshback, who was one of its most honored members. William Plnckney Flshback, fondly and familiarly known to intimates as "Pinck" Fishback. was born in Batavia, Clermont county, Ohio, Nov. 11, 1SC1. Ills education was obtained in the public schools of his home county, at Miami University, Oxford, O., and at Farmers' (now Belmont) College, College Hill, O., of which he was a graduate, class of 1S32. He and his father. Judge O. T. Flshback, formed a partnership for the practice of law In Batavia. W. P. Flshback was prosecuting attorney of Clermont county for two years. Ills winning personality is well demonstrated by the fact that, coming to this City In August, 1S57, he was elected prosecuting attorney of Marion county In th? following year on the Republican .ticket and re-elected in 1SG0. Ills first law partner in this city was the late A. H. Conner, from whom he separated In 1861 to accept the federal office of pension agent, which he held until 1S64. In 1S61 the law firm of Harrison and Fishback. which later leaped Into national prominence, was first organized. In a short time Albert G. Porter was taken into the firm as senior partner, and the name became Porter. Harrison & Fishback. continuing that way un til June, 1870. when Mr. Fishback purchased an interest In the Journal and becoming its editor for two years. In lbli Mr. Flshback secured an Interest In the St. Louis Democrat (now the Globe-Democrat), of which he was associate editor for two years. In 1874 he came back to Indianapolis and formed a law partnership with Albert G. Porter under the title of Porter & Fishback. This alliance continued unbroken until Dec. 12, 1S77, when Mr. Fishback became clerk of the United States courts and master in chancery, and Mr. Porter accepted the position of controller of the treasury tendered him by President Hayes. Mr. Fishback resigned the clerkship of the federal courts in June. 1S79. but continued as master in chancery until the time of his death, the affairs of the office being conducted during his illness by his son-ln-law, William P. Kappes. WORKED ON A FARM. When a young man Mr. Fishback worked on a farm and ground bark In a tanyard four years. One of his neighbors was Jesse Grant, father of Ulysses S. Grant. Young Fishback also served in the civil war, enlisting as a private In Company B. One-hundred-and-thlrty-second Indiana Infantry. One of his more recent ccts of distinction was the founding of the Indiana Law School in this city, which has since become a department or college In the University of Indianapolis, and In which, so long as health and strengxn i-ermltted, he was a lecturer and ardent worker. Mr. Fishback was one of the promoters and organizers of the Consumers Gas Trust Company. So valuable was his counsel regarded by the board of directors of that company that during the past few years, although he was not a member of the directorate, he was always urgently requested to attend Its meeting. Mr. Flshback attained to considerable prominence by his attitude of friendliness and support towards the omployes of the local street-railroad company in their memorable strike i f 1S02. Ha wis plaintiff in the suit brought to put the company In the hands of a receiver in orcier that the men's Interests might be dliovu.tl ur.d protected fully. Mr. Fishback's last notable appearance in public was two years ago at a mass meeting in Tomllnson Hall, called by leading citizens to advocate the passage of a law requiring the street car company to crrv passengers for a 3-cent fare. The fighting qullties of the man were brought out In striking relief when, feeble as he was at the time, leaning heavily on a cane when standing. be made himself heard and respected above the din of a mob of friends and employes of the street -ir.ilroad company, alleged to iiave been sent to the hall ti oust Mr.. Flshback from the position of chairman of the meeting. AS A WRITER. As a newspaper writer and editor, Mr. Fishback achieved the reputation of wielding a virile. If occasionally bitter, pen. Mr. Fishback enjoyed the intimate friendship of George C. Harding, a brilliant newspaper man, and Myron . Reed, the great preacher, and lost both by death before his own end came. He was also well known abroad, especially In legal circles. One of his best friends was Lord Coleridge, chief Justice of England, whose acquaintance he formed through a holograph letter of introduction given him by Justice John M. Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Flshback was also well acquainted with Sir Matthew Arnold, whom he entertained at his home In this city during the latter's lecture tour of the United States In 1SS3. During his several sojourns In the old country Mr. Fishback acquired an apparently Inexhaustible fund of lnerestlng Stories and reminiscences concerning notables of Kngland and other foreign countries, the recounting of which made him one of the most eagerly sought

after raconteurs In the city. He compiled several years aj?o a delightful booklet of reminiscences of his friendship with Lord Coleridge. Noble C. Butler, who has been clerk of the United States courts since Mr. Fishback's retirement from that office, knew the dead lawyer Intimately and admired him Intensely. "Mr. Flshback was a man of active Intellect and keen perception," said Mr. Butler. "Few, if any, saw things more clearly or more quickly. Ills Interest in public affairs was unflagging and he spoke his mind with great independence and fearlessness on occasions when he deemed It necessary to do so." A feature of Mr. Fishback's last years was his keen, clear and forcible letters on subjects of Interest and Importance which he contributed to local papers, invariably above his own signature. These letters were always read and more often than not they became the subject of spirited dlscu.Ion. He was a man who had the faculty of awakening thought in others, developed to a high degree. GEN. HARRISON'S TRIBUTE. Perhaps no other man In Indianapolis Is better qualified to pronounce a eulogy upon William P. Flshback than his friend of years standing and his long-time law partner, General Benjamin Harrison. Gen. Harrison gave out the following concerning Mr. Fishback yesterday: "I had known Mr. Flshback for a llttl more than fifty years. We entered Miami University, at Oxford. O., together in the fall of 1S50. and became Inmates of the same boarding house. From that time until his death there was an Increasing Intimacy between us, and for some years we were partners In the practice of the law. "His dep.th takes from me the oldest friend I have in the city, and one of the dearest. He had a remarkably active and acute mind, and the faculty of clear and pungent expression. He was a lover -of the best books and a, wide and critical reader. He made a center in every company where he was for he excelled ns a conversationist of the genial, witty sort. He was never pedantic. "When he was caustic In his utterances they were always directed toward something that was mean, or that he believed to be mean. The weak wero not the targets of his sarcasm. The foibles of good men appealed to his keen sense of humor, and his wit often played about them, but not vengefully. "He was in his heart compassionate and sympathetic. Injustice and oppression could always count him an enemy. Ha wa3 an alert citizen, with a high sense of responsibility in community affairs, both of a business and philanthropic sort. No man Is always right in such matters, but Mr. Fishback did what he thought was right, not languidly, but with his might. He gave a spice to things that seemed tasteless and brightened every company of which he was a part. There are loves and duties that remain to cheer and engage us, but we shall miss our old friend sadly." Itnrlnl of Mrs. Sarali Chandler. The burial of Mrs. Sarah Chandler, formerly of this city, who died last week at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Merritt, at Battle Creek, Mich., occurred yesterday at Crown Hill Cemetery beside the body of her husband. Mrs. Chandler was the mother of Thomas E., Harry C. and Edward Chandler,- of this city. With them she had lived most of the time since the death of her husband in 1872 prior to five years ago, when she went to her daughter in Battle Creek. She was ninety-six years cf age and death resulted from general debility, her last Illness being only five days In duration. She was born In Chester county, Pennsylvania. Her father was Maris Taylor, a Quaker, and she lived with him until her marriage to William E. Chandler in 1S29 at Westchester, Pa. Mrs. Chandler was a Quaker, and the simplicity of the Friends in their funeral and burial services was followed in making the arrangements for her burial. She was the oldest of a family of twelve children, four of whom survive her. She also leaves several grandchildren, among them Mrs. A. G. Ovens, of Columbus, O. Her mother lived to be ninety-two years of age. Udvrnrd Atlillck Smith Dead. The funeral of Edward Athllck Smith, an old and well-known musician of this city, who died Monday at his home, 919 Fayette street, will be held to-day at 2 p. m. from the English Lutheran Church. He was eighty-two years of age and was born In New Haven, Sussex, England. Shortly after his marriage he came to the United States and after traveling several years with Yankee Robinson came to this city about sixty years ago. He enlisted for the three months' service of the war and was the leader of the Eleventh Indiana regimental band. After his discharge he re-enllsted for the war, but returned after a few months and was married to Mrs. Moser, his second wife, who survives him. He. was the organizer and leader of the City Grays Band and was the first dancing master in the city. He was well known as a teacher of violin, guitar and mandolin music, though he had not followed his profession for several years. He was a member of the English Lutheran Church.

RAISED BILLS. Joxcph Itelly Arrested for Attempting? to Pass One. Joseph Kelly, one of the men who have for a number of days been passing and attempting to pass $1 bills raised to imitate bills of $5-and $10 denominations, was arrested yesterday by Bicycle Policemen Streit and Trlmpe after attempting to pass one of the bills at Mendel Bros.' grocery, Michigan and West streets. He tendered the bill In payment for a pound of coffee. The clerk knowing the manner in which the denominations are printed saw at once that the tendered bill was "raised" and called the police, and followed Kelly when he left the store. Several have been passed Ir- stores on Washington street and Indiana avenue and some of these are now in the hands of federal officers, who are seeking to locate the makers, it being thought frqm the clever work which was apparent on the bills that Kelly and another man, who made his escape with the bill which was returned to him by the clerk, are only the tools of others in tho securing of money on the "raised" bills. NEW DEMOCRATIC CLUB. The Plans Are Discussed by the Committee. The committee appointed to consider plans for the establishment of a new Democratic club met In the office of John V.

JOHN MARSHALL DAY

STATE DA II ASSOCIATION TO CELKII it ate o.v run. i. Gen. John C. Black Will Deliver an Address at Plymouth Church The Programme. The anlversary of the elevation of John Marshall to the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States will be fittingly celebrated Feb. 4 by the State Bar Association in Plymouth Church At the morning session the regular business of the association will be transacted, and the President's annual address will be read by E. P. Hammond, of Lafayettf formerly a member of the Supreme Court of Indiana. In tho afternoon Gen. John C. Black, of Chicago, will deliver an oration on Chief Justice Marshall In Plymouth Church. The general public is cordially invited to this session. At night the annual dinner of the bar association will be given In the dining room of the new Columbia Club. The toast list has not yet been completed. John Marshall, the distinguished jurist, in whose honor these ceremonies will be held, -xas one of the greatest lawyers ever produced by this country. He began his illustrious career by serving in the revolutionary war "as a captain under General Washington. He was admitted to the bar In 1TS0 at Richmond, and began to practice as soon as the courts were reopened after the war, which was in 17S3. He was a member of the Virginia convention, which ratified the Federal Constitution, of which he was always an enthusiastic supporter and a clear and logical exponent. With Madison, he exerted great influence In Inducing the convention to ratify the instrument. In 1715 he declined the post of Minister to France. He was appointed by Washington a joint envoy to France, and his associates were Charles Coatesworth Pinckney and lSlbridge Gerry. Talleyrand attempted to bribe the envoys, and they withdrew from France. Marshall was elected to Congress in 1799, and made a famous speech on extradition in the case of Mr. Nash. He was nominated for Secretary of War, but before his appointment was confirmed he was made Secretary of State. His commission as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court was dated Jan. 31, 1S01. He died in Philadelphia in July, 1833, after thirty-four years of continuous service in the exalted position of Chief Justice. Chief Justice Marshall presided at the trial of Aaron Burr. He was the author of a life of Washington, and was undoubtedly the greatest Chief Justice the country ever had. In an oration delivered at the unveiling of a statue of Chief Justice Marshall in Washington, D. C. May 10, 1S84, Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite said of the distinguished man: "As year after year went by and new occasion required, with his Irresistible logic, enforced by his Intelligent English, he developed the hidden treasures of the Constitution, demonstrated its capacities and showed beyond all possible doubt that a government rightfully administered under its authorlt could protect itself against itself and against the world. He kept himself at the front on all questions of constitutional law, and, consequently, his master hand is seen in every case which Involved that subject. At the same time, he and his co-workers, whose names are, some of them, almost as familiar as his own.were engaged in laying deep and strong the foundations on which the- jurisprudence of the country has since been built. Hardly a day now passes in the court he so dignified and adorned. without reference to some decision of his time as establishing a principle which from that day to this has been accepted as undoubted law." DEALERS IN LUMBER. Annual Meeting of State Association Trip to Cuba. The Retail Lumber Dealers' Association of Indiana held the first session of its seventeenth annual meeting at the Grand Hotel yesterday afternoon. There are about three hundred members in the association and more than two-thirds of the membership was represented at the first session. After the reading of tho reports of officers, which showed the association to be In good financial and fraternal standing, various committees were appointed to take charge of matters outside the regular programme of the meeting. John P. Brown, of Connersvllle, who is secretary of the Indiana Forestry Association, read a paper on "The Forests of America." He said two hundred years of clearing has reduced the timber area to about 40 per cent, of the acreage of America. Of Indiana, he said this State has 10.800 square miles of timber am an average cf 1,500 feet to the acre. He also mentioned the timber acreage in the other lumber producing States. James T. Eaglesfield, of this city, gave a talk on "Mutual Insurance." He said the decrease and waste of timber Is menacing and urged the necessity of provisions to protect the forests. The address was very interesting and was founded upon figures and acreages In tabulated form und compiled by Investigating the conditions of forests in all parts of America. Last night the association was entertained at the German House by the Indianapolis Retail Lumber Dealers' Association. Tnls morning's session will convene at 10 o'clock. After the president's aduress, an address will be made by J. B. White, f Kansas City, Mo., and a paper will be read by A. II. McKenzie. Of El wood, Ind. Following the discussion of these papers will be the election and installation of officers. To-night between 130 and 150 members of the association will leave on a special train for an excursion to Cuba. The train will have exclusive right of way, as it follows the lines mapped out by the officers of the association. The party will be gone two weeks. The concatenation of the Order of Hoo Hoos will occur at the Grand to-night. The order is composed of lumber dealers and men engaged in the manufacture and sale of wood-working machinery. Eight candidates will be initiated to-night and a banquet will be served in the ordinary. The Hoo Hoos do everything unlike other people. A favorite expression with them is: "The kittens x t out and roll in the onion bed." Recreation is the object of the order. SPECIAL SERVICES. A nijr Andiene at the KIrst Presbyterian Church. A large audience attended the first meeting of the special midwinter services at the First Presbyterian Church, last night. The meeting was led by Rev. William J. Frazer, of Brazil. He talked on the "Consecrated Service." He said among other things: "When I was younger I wanted to preach to the convicts In a prison because I thought it would be so agreeable to have a congregation march in in lock-step and who would have to sit still until the service was over. But since I have grown older and have thought more about It I would rather have a congregation that would come of Its own free will and sit through the service without being compelled to do it." These meetings will continue until Friday night. Dr. Frazer will address the meeting again to-night. Art Classes of Sketching Clnh. The art classes tecently organized by the Sketching Club Guild will bem work this week. The room used by the club Is In the Y. W. C. A. building, but the classes have no connection with the work of tho association Itself.

Insane as the result of drinking six or eight bottles of whisky daily fjr the last six months. THE EDITORS IN SESSION A NEW ASSOCIATION TO ME FORMED J. THIS STATE. Effort to Brlnjc About nn Organization Including AH the Dally Papers of the State. A large number of editors of dally newspapers In this State assembled in Parlor A, of the Denlson ' Hotel yesterday evening and took steps looking to the formation of an organization for the purpose of promoting their business Interests. The meeting was marked by great Interest. It was held pursuant to a call sent out by Frank T. Singleton, editor of the Martinsville Daily Reporter. Mr. Singleton acted as chairman, and Harry M. Smith, of the Greencastle Banner, as secretary of tho meeting. It was decided that all Indiana newspapers shall be eligible to membership in the association. This does not mean merely the editors, but all other men connected with tho papers as proprietors and in a managerial capacity as well. A committee of three was appointed to solicit papers In all parts of the State to become members of the association and to Inform them that the membership fee will be $1 and the annual dues the same amount. The committee is composed of Frank T. Singleton, chairman; R. M. Isherwood, of the Noblesvllle Democrat; W. S. Montgomery; of the Greenfield Republican, and E. A. Remy, of the Seymour Republican. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws for the new association and report at a meeting to be held in the Denlson Hotel two weeks from last night, at which meeting a permaent organization will be effected. This committee consists of F. T. Singleton, chairman; Harry M. Smith, of Greencastle; J. N. Marsh, of the Columbus Times, and A. V. Bradrlck, of the Jeffersonlan, Shelbyvllle. The association Is absolutely nonpartisan in character. One of its objects will be to bring about a better system of charging for advertising. "In the smaller cities and towns," said Mr. Singleton, "as a rule, the editor of a paper is compelled to look after the advertising and Job room, which Is usually an adjunct of such a paper, in addition to writing his editorials and shaping the general policy of the paper. Naturally, he has not time in which to find out what is a fair charge for advertising. Why. I know papers in this State that only charge 2 cents an inch for advertising. This Is one of the evils we want to correct. Editors of papers who attended our meeting were enthusiastic over the prospect of a union among newspapers and said the idea of such men getting together and profiting by each others experience is an excellent one." The list of editors present at last night's meeting and the papers represented by them, with the exception of those already mentioned, follows: C. W. Metzker, of the Independent, Plymouth; J. J. Wlngate, of the Republican. Shelbyvllle; J. A. Barnes, tho Courier, Auburn; F. C. Trilllngham, the Cllntonlan, Clinton; W. B. Campbell, the Herald, Anderson: R. S. Truitt, the Ledger, Noblesvillev There are 145 daily newspapers in Indiana and a strong effort will be made to induce all of these to Join the association. NONSTATE COLLEGES. Their Policy Outlined at a Conference In This City. At a conference of friends of the nonstate institutions, held at the Commercial Club yesterday, it was decided to oppose any appropriation for the State University at Bloomlngton. Timothy Nicholson, of Richmond, advised dropping the contention as far as Purdue University is concerned. He maintained that the property of all collegers receiving aid from the State should bo put In the State's name, referring particularly In his remarks to the State University. John W. Ray, of this city, said that tho State had paid over $300,000 for buildings and over $400,000 for professors' salaries to that Institution, and concluded his remarks by saying the professors of that Institution were the best lobbyists in the State. A resolution was then adopted setting forth the fact that the Constitution of Indiana docs not provide for a State university, and that, therefore, "all appropriations to the private corporation known as the 'Indiana State University' or other institutions of liberal arts are unauthorized and should cease at once." The resolution concludes as follows: "Whereas, Indiana University is a private corporation and does not belong to the State of Indiana, we are unalterably opposed to the appropriation of any money for the support of any college or university that is a private corporation and does not belong to the State of Indiana." It was decided that the resolutions b; presented to the committee on education of the Legislature, and Mr. Nicholson, R. S. Tennant, of Terre Haute; Dr. P. H. Jameson, of this city; Dr. Wallace, of Franklin, and W. S. Doan, of this city, were appointed a committee to present them and look after legislation favorable to nonstate institutions. A SWEAT-SHOP SUIT. An Indiana Man Contracted Smallpox from Wearing It. The reports received yesterday by Dr. Hurty, of the State Board of Health, tell of a caso of smallpox contracted by wearing sweatshop clothing. A man named Baughman, living at Valparaiso, went to Chicago and bought a cheap suit of clothes. He returned home, and after wearing the suit fourteen days, which is the time necessary for smallpox incubation, wras taken ill and his disease was diagnosed as smallpox. Dr. Hurty said there was much danger of the spread of the disease from this cause as well as from the use of second-hand .iothlng. Adelaide Rhine's Death. Miss Adelaide Rhine, daughter of Mrs. Bertha A. ithine, died yesterday morning at the family home on North Illinois street. About two years ago Miss Rhine was taken suddenly ill during a performance of the stock company at the Grand Opera House and was removed to her home. Since that time she has grown alternately better and worse, at one time being so far recovered In health that she was able to walk out freely. A few days ago, however. Miss Rhine suffered a relapse and was not able to rally from Its effects. She was a young woman of bright mind, had received a thorough education and was an entertaining conversationalist.

NO AUTOPSY HELD. The Cause of Mrs. Harry Day's Death Xot Known. The coroner last night ordered the county undertaker to care for the body of Mrs. Harry Day, which was taken to the city morgue for the purpose of Investigating the cause of her death. The coroner made no autopsy and said he was unable to ascertain the cause of death, which was thought by some to have been the result of poisonous medicine. He also said he was unable to learn anything of her habits for the reason that her husband, who is well known as "Reuben Glue," was so much under the influence of liquor that he could not talk intelligently. The police went to Day's house late Monday night and found him drunk and lying upon the floor. He was sent to headquarters and locked up, but was released yesterday morning:. He returned to headquarters shortly after his release again intoxicated and hung about the station all day, finally asking to be locked up again. Their three children are being cared for by neighbors. Druggist J. F. Frey, from whom Day purchased medicine, complained yesterday that the Journal's account of the arrest Monday night was to written that he feared some persons would understand that he had been arrested instead of Day.
