One of the most ridiculous OF the cam
paign publications is the Spectator 'sattempt
to create the impression that Maj. Dorman
was completely vanquished by Harry
Tucker in Highland. Now, Harry is a
first rate fellow, good at anecdote and all
that kind of thing, but the idea of
his getting the better of Dorman in a
discussion of the issues of this campaign
is yarn which even the marines could not
swallow.

creased your taxes. and which represents

A scientific German farmer named Lie
beg, at Gary, Dakota, has succeeded by
feeding a COW upon hops, malt and corn,
in making her produce beer instead of
milk. The COW beer has to be fermented
with yeast and then corked up and kept
cool for few days, when it becomes very
superior article of beer. If COWS can be
turned into breweries, prohibition will be-
come still more difficult to enforce. and

Chief Justice Coleridge of England was
accorded an honor at Washington on Fri
day, said to be without a precedent. He
entered the supreme court room in pro-
cession with the justices at II O'Clock,
standing beside the chief justice and par

which the assembled court every day greets
the bar. He then took his seat ut Chief
Justice Waite's right hand in the place
of Justice Miller, who occupied the seat
of Justice Field in the latter's absence.
This is said to be the first time any other
person than a justice of the court has oc-
cupied a seat on the supreme bench.

worth anything said Judge Hoadley. sit
shows, first. that a candidate for Governor
in any other State should make a point of
getting sick second, he should make no
speeches, and, third. he should retire to
Philadelphia while the campaign lasts"

ternal revenue bureau that cigar-malzers
all over the country are placing false
brands on their boxes. in order to give
their wares a fictitious value. The law
provides that the box shall be branded with
the name of the factory. the district and
the State, but many cigars of ordinary and
common material and manufacture are put
into boxes labeled Key West. or with some
noted Cuban mark. The bureau has adj

this practice must be discontinued by man.
