On Saturday the decision of the
Court OF Errors and Appeals OH the
railroad tax ease was read at Trenton
by Chancellor RUuyon. The decision
reversed that Of the Supreme Court
and declares the constitutiOnality Of
the railroad tax law passed in 1881.
There was only Il dissenting vote of
the eutire court, that of Judge Depue,
The decision was made ID The ground
that the taxing power of the Legisla-
ture is limited only by constitutional
provision and ~irrepealable contract .

for you, but try Electric Bite rs There
is no medicine so safe, so pure, and

CUSTOMS AT A HANGING.

The Forms Observed When the Law
Takes a Mans Life at the Tombs.
great many customs surround hanging
in New York They have been modified by
law, which allows only the sheriff and assist
ants, twenty deputy sheriffs, sheriffs jury,
the judges of the higher courts, the district
attorney, the doctors and the hangman to be
present. 1t is customary for the sheriff to
present the man to be hanged, when he Is
poor, with black suit to be hanged in. The
care of the city for his burial goes no further
than to see he gets to Potter's field.
Formerly the coroner could bring q party
OF his friends as jurors, and the sheriff gave
out cards of invitation rs he would to a ball.
That has been stopped, and Sheriff Grant
keeps the number of spectators down TO the
lowest legal number. The reporters acted as
both sherifs and coroner's jury ut Chacons
hanging. The hanging is set down for as
early an hour as possible in the morning to
avoid a crowd. The sheriff and his deputies,
dressed in mourning, gather at the sherifrs
Office and march to the Tombs. Each bears
his staff of office. At the hanging they take
off their hats soons rs the weights fall, and
put them on when the body is cut down.
In case on the walls in the sheriff's office
are score of slaves and two swords. The
slaves have been present at every hanging
since q time that no employee in the office can
recall They about thirty inches long,
and are made of dark hard wood. The mid
die is covered with thin, dark velvet. On
each end is brass tip shaped like an Indian
arrow head The sheriffs staff has n crutch
at one end instead of dart, and the under
sheriff'S has crook. The two swords have
not been taken TO n hanging for a long time.
No matter where in the state n hanging may
be the slaves are sent for and the sheriffS
men carry them They would as soon think
of trying to have hanging without a rope
as without their slaves. They are relic of
colonial days, when hanging would draw rs
large an aSsemblage as a circus, and the
officers who had charge of it appeared pom
pously in their official robes.
The same gallows, rope, moose, and weights
are used time after time until they are lost or
wear out. The gallows now in use is about
four years old The uprights are about five
inches square and fifteen feet high The cross
piece is the same size The construction -
simple, and it is easy TO take the gallows
apart and put it away. The only trace left
on the gallows by hanging is the mark OF
the axe where it cuts through the rope that
keeps the weight from falling.-New York

STORY OF A NOTABLE DINNER.
Congressman, Correspondents and Cabi-
net Ofhcers-Daniel Webster's Poetry.

congressman, Correspondents and Cabi-
net Ofcers-Daniel Webster's Poetry.
John Barney, who represented Baltimore
in congress from 1875 to 1929, afterward passed
much of each session at Washington, and
was favorite "old beau" with the ladies for
many years Many amusing stories are told
about him, among them one of notable din
ner which lie gave in 1850, soon after the pass
age of the compromise bill He invited about
thirty congressman and half a dozen CORE
Spondents to dine at restaurant on PennSyl-
vania avenue, and then he ordered dinner
for twelve or fifteen guests, but the whole
three dozen came. The hour was 8, and the
guests began TO get very hungry and very
cross.
Finally, about O'Clock, the door of the din
ing room was opened and the first third of
the guests who entered took seats while the
rest looked ON in amazement. Merriment then
took the place of anger. Cabinet ministers
stood up and waited OH foreign ministers, and
United States senator's in great glec discharged
the duties of Scipio and Sambo. a few
grains of champagne let loose the tongues of
oil honorable" gentlemen, and the dinner
was long and pleasant, and never was hap
pier evening passed than was this after all.
The incident of the evening, or night rather,
was between Mr. Webster, then secretary of
state, and Mr.. Foote, then senator from Mis-
sissippi. The dinner was ostensibly given to
Senator Foote, then governor-elect of Missis-
sippi, and on the eve of leaving ashington to
discharge the duties of governor in jackson,
Miss. Mr.. Webster was commissioned to de
liver the new governor, Foote, an address.
The orator took the head of the table, and be
gan in doggercl, the most charming, captivat-
ing, bewildering doggerel, with sparkles of
pure poetry in it, that dubbed up and out as
if from Milton or a Byron, and the ryth-
mical doGgerel and sparkling poetry ran on
from him, 1t may have been a full half hour,
it may have been more. Here was Daniel
Webster i'll a new character a rhyme builder,
a poet, doggerel manufacturer. Everybody
was astonished, tickled, delighted, amazed,
astounded. The plaudits We're vOciferous,
and the great Daniel would seize hold Of
them, and other temporary incidents, and
weave them into his rhythm. The world
would have, if it could only get it, the richest
sort of an intellectual treat in all that sym
postum; but Barney had no reporter hid
under the table, and, alas, all is gone Ben:

lent.
