Some Interesting Facts in the Life
of the Judge.
IS A VERY MODEST GENTLEMAN
He l a Grand Army Man and a Sur
vivor of Gettysburg His Famous
Defense of Pennsylvania and Penn

(From Our Own Correspondent)
Philadelphia. July 13. The candi
dacy of Judge Samuel W. Penny pack
er for governor Is brinsinR to the sur
face a vast number of clever, Inter
esting and characteristic stories of
his life. Mi n who have Known him for
years never fan led that there was
bound up in his personality so much,
that, in any other man with les mod
esty, would have kept his name con
tinually before the public.
Judge I'enr.ypacher is not only a
learned and upright judge, but he is
an antiquarian, a member of a num
ber of learned societies, the author of
a number of legal works, a historian
of the Pennsylvania Germans, 'a mem
ber of the Crund Army of the Republic
nr,d a member of at least half a dozen
of the fcreut patriotic and hereditary
societies of t he United States. Above
all, ho is a ompanienabie, modest
man, who has never presumed upon
his distinction in public or in private
life. A capital and characteristic
story of his good nature was published
some time ago. as follows:
Judge Pi'tinypacker's summer home
is out in Montgomery county, on the
banks of the Pcrkiomen. It was owned
by his ancestors and waa once the
headquarters of General Washington.
The region around the Perkiomen Is

magazine, looked up, and thinkirg

ed, and again tapping him on the
shoulder, said sharply, with something
tike commend iu her tone:
"I wish you would carry this dress
suit ease for me to the platform."
Laying down his book, the judge
arose, seized the grip, rarVlcd It out,
eat It down on the platform and was
about to re-enter the car, when the
woman offered L!m a piece of silver

Samuel Whitaker Pennypacker was
born In Phoenixville, Pa., April 9,
1843. He is a son of Dr. Isaac Ander
son Pennypacker, who was graduated
in medicine from the University of
Pennsylvania in 1 S3T., and was profes
sor of the theory and practice of medi
cine in the Philadelphia Medical Col
lege from IS" 4 until his death is Feb
ruary, isiin.
Judge Pennypacker received his
early education in Saunders Institute
In West Philadelphia, a famous old In
stitution in its day, and at the Grove
mont Seminary at Proenixville, Pa.
He began the study of law hi tk of
fice of Hon. Peter McCalL FatUdel
phia, who was his office preceptor; al
though at the same time, in 1864. he
entered the law school of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, from which he
was graduated in July. 1SC1, with the
degree of bachelor of laws.
It was the year before he entered the
university that there occurred one of
the thrilling episodes In his history.
In lS''d! Lee's army was sweeping up
from Virginia and Maryland to over
whelm Pennsylvania. Young Penny
packer answen d the call to arms and
enlisted in the Twenty sith Pennsyl
vania Emergency Kegitr.c nt. His first
experiencp with war was when he met
the enemy on tho bloody field at Get
tysburg. Judge Pennypacker has ul-
. '' , ' ", ' , . I
tided with the Grand Army of the Re-
public, and la 1809 was elected coin
wander of Frederick Taylor Post, No.
19. of Philadelphia.
His position as a member of the bar
was recognized even at that early age
and in IStA when only 23 years of age
he was elected president of the Law
Academy of Philadelphia.
In the ensuing twenty years, Judge
Pennypacker as a member of the
Philadolphla bar, advanced steadily In
his profession, gradually fitting himself
j by experience and contact with the
world for the high place that was wait
ing for him. He was admitted to the
bar of tho Supreme Court of the United
States in 1887, and during the same
year received from Franklin and Mar-

In 1887 Judge James T. Mitchell, of
the Court of Common Pleas of Phila
delphia county, waa elected to the su
preme court of Pennsylvania. The fill
ing of this important place fell to the
lot of Governor Beaver, who had beea
greatly Impressed by the eloquence fad
legal acumen of Lawyer 8. W. Penny-1
packer, who had appeared before him
to plead the merits of a certain meas
ure that had Just passed the legisla
ture. He was accordingly appointed
judge In place of Justice Mitchell.
He was elected In 1889 to the same
position for a term of ten years, and
4
i succeeded Judge John I. Clark Hare,
who had resigned as president Judge.
When the campaign of 1899 opened the
merits, fairness and ability of Judge
rennypacker were so generally recog
nized by both political parties that In
August of that year he received the
unanimous nomination of Democrats
and Republicans and was re-elected In
November for another terra of ten
years. At present he is president judge

Important decisions, affirmed by the
supreme court of the United States, are
the cases of Mullen vs. Doylo In re

ance, which before being finally de
cided had been heard by seventeen
Judges. Another was the Arch Street
Museum case, the Carter will case, the
Irwin will case, Barr vs. the city, In
volving the right of the city to borrow
$11,000,000, and Commonwealth vs.
Davis, the defendant in which was the
first person convicted of murder In the
first degree In the City Hall, Philadel
phia. In 1SS6 upon the death of Hon. John
Welsh, former minister to England,
Judge Pennypacker was elected h trus
tee of the University of Pennsylvania
and since then has been one of its .
most enthusiastic friends. In the course
of his historical researches Judge
Pennypacker became possessed of facts
which he embodied In a learned and
convincing brief, whicn was accepted
by the trustees, showing that me
university's origin should date from
1740 instead of from 1749.
Reference has already been made to
the societies, learned and otherwise, of
which Judge Pennypacker Is a member
Anion?.; the more prominent ones are
the American Philosophical Society, tc
which he was elected May 21, 188C; the
llis-tori'-al Society of Pennsylvania,
which with the Pennsylvania German
Society he has presided over as active
.., , , ,, . . - ,,
president. He is a member of all the
leading patriotic societies, a founder ot
the Pennsylvania Society of the Revo
lution, of the Netherlands Society of
Pennsylvania, and of the Colonial So
ciety of Pennsylvania.
As an author of btandard legal works
Judge Pennypacker Is widely known.
He has published jointly with E. G.
Piatt, Esq., and S. S. Hollingsworth,
Esq., a digest of English Common Law
Reports that was begun by Judge
Sharswood; a volume of Pennsylvania
Colonial cases, four volumes of Su
preme Court Records, known as Penny
packer's Reports, and has aided in the
preparation of forty-four volumes of
the Weekly Notes of Cases, having
charge of the cases from the Courts of
Common Pleas Nos. 2 and 3. Phila
law, notwithstanding his objections, is
etui fresh tn the minds of every patriotic vot ;r.
That law lor which every member who voted
for its passage, is justly proud, has been a boon
to the family of every poor soldier now sleeping
under the sod, and every day in the year some

humane legislation, which the then Chief Ex

delphia.
As a historian Judge Pennypacker
has shown with equal brilliancy. He
Is a clear, concise and entertaining
writer. Many of his monographs and
historical papers and addresses have
been translated abroad into German
and Dutch. His most imposing work,
possibly. Is one receutly i.-sied and en
titled the "Settlement of German
tewn." Judge Pennypacker spent years
in gathering material for this work.
He went personally over the ground
with the result that it has found high
favor for its comprehensive, thorough
and accurate statements and descrip
tion. Prince Blsmark personally thank
ed Judge Pennypacker for his address
In the Academy of Music, Philadelphia,
In 1SS3 on the Ili-Centenial celebration
of the beginning of German emigration
to America.
Judge Pennypacker married on Oc
tober 20, 1870. Virginia Earl, daughter
of Nathan D. Iiroomall. His city resi
dence is on North Sixteenth street,
Philadelphia, nnd his summer residence
at Schwenksvilie, Montgomery county,
Pa.
A great d"al has been said and writ
ten by the opponents of Judge Penny
packer about his so-called "Eulogy of
Quay," and attempts have been made
to belittle his candidacy on this ground.
The fact is that tho paper referred to
was one of the ablest, most eloquent,
and most convincing arguments lor the
dignity and supremacy of Pennsylva
nia In the galaxy of states that was
ever written. The title of the paper
was "Pennsylvania and Massachu
setts," and its object was to demon
strate the supremacy of Pennsylvania,
and the fact that In every great his
torical crisis Pennsylvania had taken
the lead over many of her sister
states, and particularly Massachusetts.
RIO GRANDE TRAIN ROBBED
Masked Men Get Contents of Safe and
Valuables of Passengers.
Sallda, Colo., July 15. A report was
received here shortly before noon yes
terday to the effect that the Denver
and Rio Grande Narrow Gauge passen
ger train which left here early Sundry
night was held up and robbed yester
day by four men near Sargents, west
of Marshall Pass. The engineer was
compelled at the point of a revolver
to stop the train by masked men, who
had climbed over the tender. One of
the robbers addressed remarks to En
gineer Ruland, who did not understand
what was said, and before Ruland could
ask him to repeat hia remarks the rob
ber struck him a blow with a Winches
ter rifle, breaking the stock of the
gun. His head Is badly swollen. No
passengers or trainmen were hurt.
Two safes la the express car were
blown open, but it is assorted by olli
cers of the Rio Grande Express Com
pany that the robbers failed to secure
any plunder from the safes. The pas
sengers were compelled to alight from
the cars and line up alongside the
tracks In the canyon, and they 'Were
relieved of all their money and val
uables. Many of the passengers threw
away their money, watches and Jewelry
among the rocks before the robbers
searched them. There were many tour
ists among the passengers, and while
It is not known how much the robbers
secured, it is presumed that the lossc
were heavy.

NEW CHINESE MINISTER
Sir Llan Chen Tung Appointed to Suc
ceed Wu Ting Fang.
Pckin, July 14 Sir Lian Chen Tung,
secretary of the Chinese embassy to
the coronation of King Edward, was
yesterday appointed Chinese minister
to the United States.
New ministers to Russia, France and
Italy have also been nominated. The
selections for these posts shows that
the dowager empress continues to re
gard the diplomatic service as unim
portant. All of them, except Lien
Chen Tung, are unknown to tho for
eign community.
Wu Not Surprised.
Washington, July 14. Mr. Wu, the
Chinese minister at Washington, was
not surprised to hear of the appoint
ment of a successor to himself, as he
had been expecting an announcement
of this character for some time. He
had received notice that his services
would be required in another capacity,
and for this reason has been prepared
to hear of the naming of his successor
at any time.
The retiring minister, Mr. Wu, has
been at this capital since April, 1897.
His relations with the administrations
of Presidents McKlnley and Roosevelt
have been of a most cordial character.
The ordinary term of ministers in the
Chinese diplomatic service is usually
three years, and they are not reap
pointed. GOVERNOR STONE IN CAMP
He Inspected Pennsylvania National
Guard On Battlefield of Gettysburg.
Gettysburg, Pa., July 13 The feature
of the camp of the Pennsylvania Na
tional Guard on the battlefield yester
day was the arrival of Governor Stone,
who will remain here for the rest of
the week. Tho weather was very
warm, but the soldiers stood it well.
The governor was' met at the railroad
station in town by Adjutant General
Stewart and Lieutenant Colonel Elliott,
assistant adujtant general of the divi
sion. Accompanying the governor
were his secretary, Mrs. Stone, Miss
Jean Sto:io, Miss Watson, of Williams
port, and Mrs. E. C. Gerwlg.
Some idea of the size of tho camp
may be gained by the fact that It took
the party two hours to ride through
the camps of the First and Second
Brigades. The commander-in-chief in
spected the Third Prigade during the
afternoon. The troops were at quarters
and the party was cheered by the sol
diers as it rode through the grounds.
The governor was greatly pleased with
the appearance of the men and the
camp.
"Governor's Day" will probably be
Friday. Secretary of War Root and
Adjutant General Corbin are expected
to visit the camp on Y rlday. The sec
retary will be tendered a review.
