A Doable Meaning.
A good story Is told of a famous English
engineer. An attorney went to him when
he first began his career to nsk him an
opinion as a civil engineer. After the opin¬
ion was given he Inquired as to the fee,
and was told It was twenty five guineas
which he accordingly paid. Some years
later when the civil engineer had acquired,
a reputation and had been made a fellow
of the Royal Society, the same attorney
wact np to him for an opinion, and when
he had received It said: “I remember the
last time I was here I asked your fee, and
yon said It was twenty-five guineas, and
o I have brougftt a check for that amount."
The engineer looked at him and asked him
if he knew what F. R. S. meant. The an¬
swer was: “ Why. certainly, It means Fel
low of the Royal Society.” ” Yes,” said the
engineer, “and It means also, 'Fees Raised
Since.’ ”

Speculation as to His Successor
in the Senate.
The Consensus of Opinion Is that
Blanchard Will Fill
the Place.
Washington, D. C„ Feb. 19.—Presi
, dent Cleveland today nominated Sena
tor White, of Louisiana, to 'the vacant
seat on the Supreme Bench of the
United States, and the Senate prompt¬
ly confirmed the nomination, which
came in the nature of a surprise to
the Senate.
All sorts of rumors were afloat dur¬
ing 1 relative to this appointment, in
which the names of Senators Gray
and Faulkner were mentioned, but not;
that of the Louisiana Senator. Mr.
White did not come to the Senate to
day, and the fact that he was at the
White House this morning 1 , where he
doubtless received the news, constrain¬
ed him to absent himself from the
presence of his colleague, He Is a
lawyer of marked ability .in the full
vigor of life, and will bring to the
Supreme Court a valuable knowledge
of the intricacies of practice under the
civil code, or Code Napileon, as it
prevails in the Louisiana courts, which
will Ik? of great service in disposing of
cases arising in the courts of that
State.
Edward Douglas White was born in
the parish of LafouTohe, Da., in No¬
vember, 1845, and was educated at
Mount St. Mary’s College, Maryland,
at the Jesuit College in New Orleans,

nomination of Senate- White was
Kre at surprise to members of the
House, but was favorably commented
on by every one. The members from
New York did not enter any lengthy
expression of opinion, but Messrs. Cock
ran. Stratuss and Tracey agreed that
New York had got out of it aii she was
entitled to. Mr. Cummings expressed
his gratification over the appointment.
“Senator White is a good man for the
place. There is nothing sectional about
an appointment to the Supreme Bench,-'
he said. Southern members were parti¬
cularly pleased with the choice and ex¬
changed congratulations with one an
other.
W1 AMilt
There was immediate speculation, of
course, as to the identity of the gentle
man to be selected in Mr. White's place
ns a member of the Senate. It was
stated , , by friends ... of « Representatlie
Itlanchnrd that the Government hod
been inclined to appoint him at the time
to the pressure of Senator Caffrey s
friends in the latter s favor. Whether
or not Representative Blanehard’a vote
in favor of the Wilson bill would In
terfere with his appointment now they
could not state, hut some fear was ex
pressed that it might do so. The Dover
n*»r comes from the heart of the sugar
producing districts of Louisiana. But
if his feeling toward Mr. Blanchard has
not changed that gentlemen, they said,
would doubtless receive the appoint

'Hie Legislature of the State will meet
in May and will have three senators
to elect. Senator Caffrey was appointed
to succeed the late Senator Gibson.
whose term would have expired March
4, 1895. and Ills successor both for the
remainder of Senator Gibson’s term and
for the full term of six years begirv
ning March 4. 1895, all have to he
(•boxen as well ns a successor to Sena¬

his term which docs not expire until
