WHAT Is RESUMPTION THROUGH
CONTRACTION?

The laws of the land punish by i'm.
prisonment for life any criminal who
changes 3 81 bill to 81, and the scoun-
drel who, by sdulteration of the metal
should try to make one gold dollar pass
for two, would have heavy penalty in
flcted upon him. Forgery and counter
feiting are the rough names gwen to
these crimes whose purpose is to increase
the purchasing power OF a dollar. But

THE GREATEST WORKER OF THE
CENTURY.

On our first page will be found an ar
ticle written for the North american
Rerier0, by THOMAS EDISON, on the
phonocraph-thst grea! marvel OF mod
ern ingenuity and scientific research.
He tells in simple and unaffected man
ner now his invention may be used, and
the extent it may be applied to the
ordinary matters of every day lie.
Many Of the great inventions Of the mod
ern scientist, while they are valuable in
themselves, can only be appreciated
by Others who are equally scientific, but
such is rot the case with the phonograph.
Every business man whose affairs demand
much correspondence, will soon compre-
bend that this instrument is just what he
wants for his private or ordinary business
letters. for the person TO whom they are
sent, will place the tin-foil sheets upon
which the letter has been talked" in his
photograph and will listen TO the reading
OF it in the very tones OF
him who sent it - thus pre-
venting forgeries and similar imposltions.
The blind, the sick, and those
with weak eyes, will listen to the re-
production Ct the elocutionary powers Of
some famous reader and will bless the
name of him who gives them such q
pleasure. 1t Is unnecessary for US to
dwell further upon this subject, Mr..
Edison has told mis- own story in his own
practical and exhaustive wsy and we
commend the article to our readers.

Gated on the property The original
patent for the land was not granted TO
the ancestral MowRYs, bat it passed into
the hands of DR. PETER MowRY fifty
wears ago. He bequeathed it to his chill
dren, among them WIN. MowRY. The
entire amount of property in dispute-a
one-third lntorest-is valued at about
100000. This, of course, includes the
improvements which would have to be
appraised and paid for by tho successful
party to the suit before the property
could pass into his hands.

APKOTOTYPE OF MRS. GAINES.

1t will be remembered that sometime
ago we published an account Of a suit in
Pittsburgh in which man named
MEIsTER sought to obtain possession Of
an estate in the suburbs of that city.
The pivot upon which the case turned
was the legality OF the marriage of NM.
MowRY to an Indian woman, from
whom MEIsTER bought the title to the
estate for $4,000 A decision in favor
the defendant was obtained IN the Circuit
Court in 1874, but an appeal was
taken to the United States Supreme
Court where the case has dragged lis
slow length along" ever since. The Su-
prcme Court reversed the decision of the
lower court on the grounds which were
gwen in the Geographic columns OF the
REGISTER yesterday. 1t said that the
proof of declaration of marriage and
cohabtation was sufficient evidence OF
the marriage whatever might he the
State law, The story Of the marriage Of
VIM. MowRY is a romantic one. About
the year 1900, MowRY, who was st tdst
time trader in the far West, married an
Indisn womsn named MARY PERoT IN
Michigan. No clergyman or magistrate
was present, but the ceremony was the
one customary among the Indians.
MowRY gave horse, a barrel OF -four, s
barrel of pork and q shotgun in pay
ment for his wife to her father, and de-
clsred her to be his legal wife in the
presence of several witnesses. The re-
suit Of the marriage was the daughter
CUBBA-YoU.QUIT, from whom MEIsTER
bought his title
A great deal Of circumstsntial evidence
WAS brought by the plaintiffs to show the
Legality of the marriage, but the Circuit
Court refused to ADM. it, on the ground
that the Michigan law required the pres
ence OF a magistrate. About
seventy-six acres OF land are
involved, which lies in Lawrenceville,
now the l7th ward of Pittsburgh, and in
the East End Of that city. A portion Of
the property is included in the Allegheny
Cemetery. The Lucy furnace, the Citi.
zens Passenger Railway property, the
extensive works of the Keystone Bridge
Company, the very large estate Of BEN
JASnN DARLINGTON, and numerous bust.

CAN VIRGINIA SUE WEST VIRGIN.
IA FOR DEBT?

The question is often asked, How can
West Virginia be srrsigned in court
for any Of the Indebtedness incurred by
the State of Virginia before the sepsra-
tion2 BY our own laws, a citizen of this
State cannot brig suit against the
State, and by the constitution of the
United States citizen of one State
cannot sue another State. But the Su-
preme Court of the United States has
jurisdiction in suits brought by one State
against another, in some forms Of action,
and it has been asserted at differ
ent times and in different
ways. No action for debt,
however, has yet been brought by one
State against another that we are aware
of, and 1t will be an interesting question
how TAR the Federal judiciary can be ap-
piled in such q suit, Upon this subject,
the Richmond Dispatch quotes the fol-
lowing decision, and adds the remarks
below:
"a State, like merchant, makes q
contract. A dishonest State, like dis
honest merchant. wilfUlly refuses to dis.
charge it. The latter is amenable to a
court OF Justice. Upon general princi-
plea Of right shall the former, when
summoned TO answer the isir demands of
its creditor, be permitted, Proteus like, to
assume new appearance, ard 10 insult
him and justice by declaring, | am p
sovereign Stste2 Surely not.
As Tor the purposes OF the Union, there
fore, Georgia Is not sovereign State
TChIshoIm's administrator Is. The State
OF Georgia; . Dali, 456
This was the case in which the Su-
preme Court decided that State could
be sued by citizen OF another State. Il
was decided in 1898, and in consequence
OF it the eleventh amendment to the Com
sulution WAS adopted, which provides
that the Judicial power of the United
States shall not extend to any suit in
law or equity brought by 3 citizen Of one
State against another State. This amend
ment prevented suits by ct.zans sgsinst
States; but left the decision undrsturbed
that rs to contracts made by her, State
in the Union, is not sovereign. Thesamc
doctrine just restiirmed IN Murray vs.
The City of Charleston.
The jurisdiction OF the Supreme Court
of the United States against States is
given by the Constitution o! the United
States. i has been asserted in many ways
for different causes of action in contro-
versies between States; and irasmuch IS
State is not sovereign in regard to her
contracts, and also that she can be sued
in the Supreme Court by another State,
it remains probably to be seen how far
the power of the Federal Judiciary can
be applied in suit between States in
matter of debt

EUROPEAN WAR.

English preparations for war goes on
with activity and energy. Russia is now
as we'll prepared as she ever will be, and
the sooner the tug comes the better for
her. If England keeps on making pre-
parations three months longer, Russia
will become exhausted waiting.
The excitement is warming up all over
the continent. and if war does not ensue
it will be singular.

THE excitement in Pittsburgh, yester-
day. was the arrest, in house Of prosti-

rather young man, married, and has
maintained sn excellent character for
Christianity. He was arrested aud lodged
in the station house, and word was sent
to the pillars of his church to come and
care for him.

The Liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, as it controls the life,

disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of
ailments are the natural result. The diges-

and blood, the action of the brain and ner-
vous system, are all Immediately connected
with the workings of the Liver. 1t has
