At White Palms. N. Y, the other night,

Dan Rice, the old time circus man, has lately
gained great renown temperance lecturer and
religious exhorter. The Young Mems Christian
association of Chattanooga, Tennessee, engaged
Col. Rice to lecture there, but he became so con-
vivial and so forcibly illustrated a terrible exam
pie, that the Y. NJ. c. A. concluded to dispense
with his oral teachings.

never heard Plnafore now have their last chance.
Supreme Court Decisions Yesterday.
Quite batch of decisions were made pub
lie by Chief Justice Gililan and Justice
Dickinson, of the supreme court, yesterday,
which are given in full in our court columns.
OF the most important of these we give
short synopsis. In the case of the State of
Minnesota ex rel Geo. P. Farnsworth, re-
lator, VS.. the Municipal Court of st. Paul,
the court reverses the judgment Of the mu-
nicipal court which will be very pleasant
news for those engaged IN selling country
produce outside the precincts of the market
house and without license.
Farnsworth was prosecuted Grim
inally and convicted of violating
city ordinance $50 in regard to selling vege
tables and farm produce outside the public
market without a license during market
honrs. The court rules that general pro-
hibition by ordinance of the city council of
ST. Paul of the sale of vegetables and farm
produc!s, except by licensed vendors, is not
authorized by a legislative act empower
ing the passage of an ordinance prohibiting
such sales during 'market hours.' The on
ly power granted the city by the legislature is
''to erect and maintain market houses, es-
ta6lsh market places and prohibit sales there
at after certain hours" 1t has no powers to
impose S25 license, and the municipal
court has no power to impose penalty for
the failure of citizeh to take out such a
license"
In the case of the state of Minnesota ex
rel. David f. Powell, appellant the state
medicine examining board, respondent,
which latter threw the Lacrosse doctor out
of the ranks of the medical profession of the
state on account of 'unprofessional and dis
honorable conduct" advertising to cure all
kinds of disease with the same medicine
taken externally and internally the court
sustained the action of the examining board
as constitutional and affirmed the action of
the lower court that DR.. Powell must not
have certificate to practice
In the case of Hugh Campbell, appellant,
vs. The City of Saltwater, respondent, in
which Campbell was refused verdict in the
| lower court for damages to himself and car
riage by being overturned on dangerous
railroad track allowed by the city to run
through public street, the judgment of the
| lower court was reversed by the higher the
latter deciding that a municipal corporation
Is not relieved by the care and responsibility
for the condition of its streets merely because
it permits railway company to lay out and
maintain track through them, and knowing
the condition Of street from such cause
was liable to prove dangerous from the run
ming of cars and locomotives. 1t is the duty
of city guard its highways against damages
existing by its own consent. fcr
