ion had disappeared He was pur-
sued, arrested in Australia, and
brought back to St Louis He VS. tried
on a charge of killing Preiler for
the purpose of robbery, convicted and
sentenced to be hanged His defense was
that he was treating Preller for an acute
disease and that Preller died while under
the influence OF chloroform. An appeal
was taken through the State courts to the
United States Supreme Court on the ques-
ton of the cons5itutionality of the State
law of Missouri The Attorney General
moved for the dismissal OF the writ of error
on the ground that the Supreme Court was
without Jurisdiction
The gst OF the decision is as follows:
Chef-Justice Waite says that in the case Of
Spies VS.. the State OF Illinois it was held that
to give this court jurisdiction under section 700
of the revised statutes because Of a denial by
State court of any title, right privilege or inn
munity CLAIMED under the constitution or any
treaty or statute of the United States
it must appear ON the record that
such right, title privilege or immunity
was specially set up or claimed at the proper
time in the proper way. To be renewable
here the decision must be against the right so
set up or declared. AS the Supreme Court OF
the State was reviewing the decision OF the
trial court it must appear that the claim was
made in that court, because the Supreme
Court was only authorized review the judg-
ment for errors committed there, and we can
do no more.
Apply ng that rule to this case, we find that
at the, trial no title, right, privilege or immu-
nifty was specially set up or claimed under the
, constitutions, laws or treaties of the United
States. Thus, for example. when the testimony
Of Dingenfelder was offered, the admission of
which is now assigned for error, the objection
was not that its admission would be VIOLA
ton of any provision of the conshtu-
ton or laws of the United States, but
because it was incompetent and irrelevant
coming, as it did, from man who by his con-
duct in forcing the statements from the de-
PENDANTS as to which it was proposed he would
testify, had shown himself to be unworthy of
belief in o court of Justice and because the
witness has shown that he held out an induce
ment a promise TO the defendant for his state
ment which renders it incompetent r-
6 The assignments of errors which relate to
the rulings OF the court fail entirely to present
any question of Federal law for our considera-
ton. So far as appears that court, in its decis-
ions, was governed exclusively by the -consttu-
ton and laws of the State; and the Supreme
Court, in it's opinion on this part of the case,
makes no mention whatever of any claim Of
right under the constitution or laws of the
United States.''

an ordinary one, but is trifle larger

are four in number. Two are made of
some kind of cancels hair felt and two

felt and leather are perforated more

semble the latter in appearance. The

A WRITER in the Richmond Times
says: Congressman Kelley, of Penn
sylvania, grows more wonderful every
day, and one of the most extraordinary
things about him is his memory. He
Is an example of man who has made
success OF public life without being
able to remember either face or a
name. He can remember men S
voices, but not their features, and he
can tell, while sitting in the barber S
chair, who is speaking by the accents
of the speakers voice, though he could
not tell the name of the man perhaps
if he saw him.

A SCIENTIST at Cleveland, O., thinks
the reason birds can fly is that their
flesh and bones are battery of such
a composition that the rapid CULVER
ing of the feathers charges the body
with negative force, and, in conse-
quence, the wings have but little labor
to perform further than to guide and
propell the body onward He thinks
this could be proved by Harvesting up
Hook OF wild pigeons and causing
them to discharge their electricity
into a receiver BY supplying men
with sufficient electricity, says this
Cleveland gentleman, they could fly.
