ON BENCH 34 YEARS.

Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court Dies of Bronchitis— Long in the Judiciary. Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, John Marshall Harlan, died in Washington Saturday morning after a short illness from bronchitis, at the age of 78 years. Justice Harlan has been on the Supreme court bench for 34 years. While he died comparatively poor in money, he was a multi-millioniare in honor and esteem. He won his fame through his dissemting opinions in the Tobacco Trust and Standard Oil cases last winter when he bitterly arraigned the remainder of the court for “usurping the power of the legislative branch of the government.”
