was rendered in the Supreme Court of

risdiction of the court. Justice Brewer

found the law to be constitutional and
the District Court had jurisdiction. But
the proceeding against Lees being crim

in compelling the defendants to give tes
timony in favor of the government. This
error w as sufficient to warrant a reversal
of the judgment and to remand the case
to a new trial.

be built by Huntington's Company for
S2S0, 000 each. They are known as Nos.
7, 8 and S). As finally settled upon by
the department No. 7 will be 220 feet

placement and 14 knots speed; Nos. 8
and 0 will be 2 0 feet long by . 50 feet
beam, of 1,313 tons displacement and
and thirteen knots speed. All three

It is not known definitely what the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency will do upon the bill to repeal the
10 per cent tax on State banks. A bill will
be reported ns soon as a vote in the com
mittee is reached. Of the seventeen
members of the committee the six Re
publicans, Springer of Illinois and Sperry
of Connecticut will vote against report
ing the bill. Johnson of Ohio, who was
supposed to be doubtful, says he is
against the bill, but will repoit it favor
ably Irom the committee to get it before
the' House. He thinks with a matter of
this importance, in which so many mem
bers are interested, the question should
he brought before the House for consid
eration, but will reserve the right to vote
against the bill on the floor of the House.
Several members who were for repeal
before the-message have expressed them
selves since as indifferent or believing it
would not be wise to pass the measure
now.

" 'Oh, I never buy a secondhand
stove,' ho says. You try other deal
ers. They want to know where you
got tho stove and look at you as if
they thought you stole it. It's been
a lesson to me. I'll never steal a
stove, hot or cold, no matter how
hard up I fjet. Too hard to get .rid
of it.
"So I went to a secondhand store.
Dusty old place. Things in it nobudy
would ever buy. Old man in there
varnishing up a child's high chair.
Told him I wanted to sell a heating
stove. lie never 6aid a word for five
minutes. I went on and described
tho stove so that a total stranger
would recognizo it if he met it on
Droadway. Old man said nothing.
I waited. Finally he looked up and
asked : 'Well, what it is? What you
ask for that stove?' I told him I
didn't know exactly. I'd 6ell it
cheap.
"Old man said nothing. I gave
him my address. I waited.
" 'Well,' said the old man, 'some
day I got nothings else to do I go
me on that place. I got me no time
to tell other peoples their business.'
That's all he said to me. I can't be
gin to tell you how insulting his
manner was. The more I thought
about it the madder I got. Half an
hour later I went back and said to
him in as bitterly sweet tones as I
could get up: 'Although we may be
unable to strike a bargain, I want
to thank you for your gentlemanly
treatment. I should like to meet you
socially.'
"Did it freeze him!"
"Course not. 'Oh, that's all right,'
he said and nodded his head patron
izingly and went on varnishing the
baby's high chair." New York

Retutcltatlng the Apparently Drowned.
A new method, the general princi
ple of which is indicated by its name,
"the traction of the tongue," has
been introduced by Professor J. V.
Laborde to revive those who have
been rescued from a watery grave.
It is exceedingly simple and has been
attended with striking results. In a
person who has been long immersed
in water or otherwise asphyxiated
it suffices to 6eize the tip of the
tongue and pull upon the tongue
rhythmically so as to cause rhyth
mical traction in imitation of the
respiratory rhythm. The process
should be kept up for a long time.
If it is successful, the person gives a
deep sigh, and sometimes vomiting
occurs, and after that, if the trac
tion be continued, respiration is usu
ally speedily restored.
Professor Laborde has had occa
sion to employ the process, and with
almost invariable success, in cases of
apparent death from drowning, and
Dr. Billot has obtained excellent re
sults in testing its efficacy in cases of
6ewer gas poisoning. The process
has been used by Professor Laborde
for some time in cases of apparent
death under the action of chloro
form in tho case of animab operated
on in the laboratory. New York

The Poet and the Fishmonger.
- I was in Grimsby not long ago, and
went into one of the few fishmongers'
shops in that capital of fishmongers en
gros. The worthy shopkeeper was in a
talkative mood, and among other things
told me that he was under orders to send
a small hamper of fish daily to Lord
Tennyson. In support of this statement
he produced a letter from the poet lau
reate's residence, and in handing it to
me he said: "It's not from the lord 'im
self. It's from his son, Master 'Allani.
'Im wot's doing the poetry now. And,"
he added confidentially, "they do say as
'ow it isn't a patch on the old man's."
1 thought the worthy fishmonger's idea
that as a matter of course Lord Tenny
son's son, on his father's accession to
other duties, would take over the poetry
business, just as in due time his own
son would succeed him in the fishmon
gering line, sufficiently amusing to be
chronicled. Cor. Pall Mall Gazette
