It has long been suspected that
the Customs officials at San Iran
cisco were annulling the provisions
Of the Chinese Restriction Act for
money, and these suspicious have
recently been verified. A special
agent sent by the Administration
10 investigate the charges Ct viola
tons Of the law by Federal officials
has discovered that these charges
were but too true; that large sums
of money were being pocketed by
the officials for permitting Chinese
to be brought ashore without the
required certificates. In view of
the fact that the Federal Court
which has sole Jurisdiction in this
matter has invariably shown q
strong bias in favor Of the Chinese,
the only effective means OF cleans
ing the Customs service In San
Francisco is to remove the entire
gang who have so long disgraced
the Federal Offices in the Custom
House, and put III their places men
Who will cheerfully recognize the
validity Of United States laws. If
the Federal Court referred to could
be served in like manner, it would
prove a blessing to the people of
this Coast -Elko Independcnt.

WOMAN FOUND DYING IN HARTFORD
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FEATURES OF THE
CASE
A telegram from Hartford, Dec. 81, says:
About two months ago Mrs. Gray and her
twenty-three-year-old daughter Maggie moved
into rooms on the fourth floor of the tenement
at o3 Spruce street. There, early this morning,
reporter saw the dead and horribly bruised
body of the daughter lying on the floor wrapped
In a shawl: On the side OF the head was
great bruise reaching to the back of
the neck, and the right eye was blackened
as IL by q terrible blow. 1t was learned
that on Saturday. after doing her home
work. Maggie went out Nothing more
was seen of her by her mother until she was
found about O'Clock on Sunday morning on
the landing OF the third flight of stairs. She
was in a stupor, and other occupants of the
building thought her merely drunk, and car
ried her up stairs and laid her on the sofa.
Here she lay apparently in a drunken stupor
until IL O'clock last night, when her mother
gave her pull to rouse her, and the body slid
TO the floor. DR.. Smith was hastily called but
when he arrived Maggie was dead. The woman
could hardly have fallen down stairs in way
to infiict such wounds without awakening
everybody in the house. The general appear
ance Of the head was as if it had been struck
with heavy club.
A tenant said to-day that she heard q body
roll down the stairs about o'clock on Sunday
morning, and that ii was Maggie Gray. The
medical examiner decided that the woman had
been drinking heavily on Saturday night, and
roaming through the building and in falling
fractured her skull. Others are OF the opinion
that she was murdered in a quarrel. A thorough
investigation is to be made.

New Formula for Consumption.
We are in receipt Of a number of communica

consumption, and all kindred diseases, without

was equal to beef as an article Of diet in con-
sumption and all ailments which tend to its
development. This is now q generally admitted

The Te.timony,of Agnoss,es.

AN ILLINOIS JUDGE DECIDES THAT IT rs AD-
MIssIBLE-AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION.
A new point of law under the constitution Of
1870 of the state OF Illinois was raised in the
trial In Chicago of the cause of the state against
Robert Hertel, charged with fraud and con-
spiracy. 1t was claimed that he had defrauded
certain people out of 50 900. Mr.. Eugene Prus-
sing was an. essential witness for the prosecu-
ton. When he was called the defendants
counsel, Mr.. Dykman, Intercepted him as to
his competency. Mr.. Prussing declared that he
did not believe in God nor i'm the inspiration Of
the scriptures. Defendants counsel claimed
that under the laws Of Illinois defendant was
not a competent witness. He read the statute,
the constitution and several rulings upon the
question: Jug a Inc states attorney and Judge Shep-
ara were taken by surprise, and the question
was held under advisement.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Prussing. with an arm
was accompanied by Gen. stiles and several
members OF the Society tor Ethical Culture.
Judge Shepard said that he regretted that he
had been unable to ind authorities which fully
satisfied his mind, and he would like to hear
the arguments on the competency OF Mr.. Prus-
Judge Shepard Mr.. Prussing said he neither az
firmed nor denied the existence ofan overriding
providence nor that there was q future state OF
existence. About the truth or falsity Of these
propositions, he had no means of positive
knowledge. His conscience would feel bound
by an oath, because the oath was prescribed by
Inc statutes of the state; for no other reason.

cided under the constitution of 1s4s, which,

The effect of this remark and the wide discus.
sion which followed was seen in the consttu-
ton of 1870, and the blot was forever efTaced
from the statutes OF the state. The bill OF rights
in the constitution of 1870 says: And no per.
son shall be denied any civil or political right,
privilege or capacity on account of his relig-
lous opinions In his capacity as a witness he
