A BOLD GAME.
A Female PickpOckei's Little
Scheme.

One Of the boldest games played in
this city by thieves for many a day
was unearthed by the police this fore
noon and the putter up of the job
lodged in the calaboose. In detjl it
seems more like New York sharper's
game than like that of Southern
darby.
Chief Davis heard that a colored
woman had
DECoYED SEVERAL LADIES
into stairways on Main street, and I'm
der pretense of rearranging their
skirts robbed them of their pocket
books. Detectives Pryde and Nc
Cune were accordingly stationed on
Main street to watch, and about 10
o'clock saw mulatto woman approach
a lady on Madison street just south Of
Main and remark in a low voice:
Madam, your skirt is showing"
The lady who proved afterward to
be Mrs. M. A. Roland, of SO Market
street, answered that she could see
nothing the matter, but the woman
insisted and finally got her consent to
enter
AN ADJACENT STAIRWAY,
where the alleged exposed skirt could
be arranged. Atthis moment,and while
the woman was in the act of reaching
for her pocket, the detectives grabbed
her and took her to the statiOnhouse.
She gave her name as Mary Jones and
was at once recognized by many of the
police.
From all accounts she has been car
rying on the netarious business for 8
month past, and during that time has
robbed at least half dozen ladies in
precisely the same way. One lady was
robbed in Moyston's stairway and
others in the immediate vicinity. A
few days since the woman accosted a
young lady in front of B. Lowensteins
and asked her to step into the neigh
boring stairway aud allow her to
arrange Der skirts, but the lady pre-
ferred to ask a lady friend in the store
who informed her that nothing was
the matter. The woman had disap-
peared suddenly. Another lady
caught her in the act of abstracting
her pocket book containing five dollars
and made her give it up on the instant

Chancellor Merritt's Decision

l. 1t decides every question for
compliments that is material to the
success of the assault upon the 1903
bill.
2. On the question of bribery he is
in doubt, and therefore follows cases
outside Of our State; but he says that
if any case can exist where the courts
can and ought to interfere, it is this.
In other words, this case exceeds all
others in enormity.
3. He holds that compliments, as
taxpayers, have the right to make the
questions.
4. He holds that another Legisla-
ture may repeal the 1903 act.
5. And aside for this the coupon
clause would make the act void, and it
would be the duty of the courts to so
declare.
6. If he is right in his view that
another Legislature can repeal the act.
then the 1908 fails. IL he is wrong in
this conclusion, and right in his con-
clusion as to the law upon the other
points, the Supreme Court is bound to
declare the act void. In other words,
if he is right as TO his conclusion as to
what the the law is upon the other
points, then the 1908 is not what it's
friends intended it to be; that is, an
irrepealable contract.
The decision, of good law. establish

and that is that the whole matter is
still in the hands ofthe people, or that
the act is void, and must be SO de-
clarod by the Supreme Court. He
rests the whole case on the ground
that the people, through the Legis
lature, may have relief, and if not
there he would give it through the
courts.

And the Hot Weather at Home
and Abroad.

The excessive hot weather and the
extensive dry spell which has visited
this section has extended to other 10
calities, and reports reach us Of serious
injury to the crops in Middle Tenres-
see, as we'll as in the valley south Of
here.
The pleasant thunder and rain
storm which visited us on Friday last
was of narrow limits. 1t did not ex-
tend but a few miles to the south
ward, and nine miles east not drop
fell, nor was its influence felt to any
appreciable degree more than thirty
or forty miles northward. 1t was de-
lightfully refreshing, however, to the
country within its area. For twenty
eight days not 4 drop of rain had
fallen here, and the plowed fields were
baked as hard as brickbats. Vegeta-
ton was parched, and gardens,
as we'll as corn, has been burnt up
and ruined by the heat and dry seige.
About Columbia, Tenn, the Herald
says, on Tuesday last no rain had
fallen for twenty days, and those
twenty days comprise the hottest
weather experienced in nearly ten
years, the thermometer ranging along
the verge of 100 every day, and not
much better at night. OF course the
ground is parchod, the grass is dying
and vegetation generally burning up.
The intense heat aud drought has
not confined itself to this country
alone. Europe has suffered severely,
and at POris laat week the observers
declared there was no authentic
record of such heat. Numerous
deaths from sunstroke were reported
in Paris, Berlin and various other
cities of Europe, where on Tuesday
last the heat was reported almost in
tolerable. A thunder storm at Paris
aud Berlin Wednesday brought relief,
but no rain had fallen at London at
last accounts, though the weather
there had turned off slightly cooler
and more pleasant. The effect
of the intense warmth upon the
cereal crops Of Europe is
likely to be damaging, though latest
reports state that the avera 10 yield
will be good. In the grain producing
region of the Northwestern part of
this country, the accounts are variable,
though not SO conflicting but that it
is known the crop yield will fall below
the average. This accounts for the
recent advance in the value of bread
stuffs. 1t is too late now for rains to
benefit crops in the West or South,
except cotton. This great staple has
not as yet suffered much, either in this
vicinity or elsewhere. With a little
rain at the proper time, it may yet yield
well, though hardly up to last year
anywhere, and the chances favor its
falling below in many sections.
