UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Topeka Meat Inspection Ordlnanc
SO Declared by Judge Brewer.

Tn0 Topeka Meob ln9peCt1On OfOinonc0
So Declared by Judge Brewer.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 3o.-Judge
Brewer yesterday decided that the To
peka meat inspection ordinance was
illegal.
The decision was given in test case
brought by Swift & Co., the Kansas
City packers, whose agent was arrested.
fined 500 and sentenced to imprisOn-
ment for thirty days, for selling a car
load of dressed beef to Topeka markets
in violation of the inspection Ordi-
nance.
Judge Brewer delivered his opinion
orally, saying that while the ordinance
on the face of. it declared it was en-
acted for the purpose Of providing pure
meat for the citizens of Topeka, it was
in reality made for no other purpose
than to prohibit the sale of Kansas
City dressed meat here. This, he said,
was clearly in violation of the commerce
clause of the Constitution of the United
States.
While he conceded the right of acity
to prevent the sale of impure meat to
citizens, it could not blockade COM
merce by requiring that all the meat
sold to it's citizens must be slaughtered
within one mile of its city limits, as
this ordinance provides. The city could
prosecute the Kansas City packers if
impure meat was sold, and it might re-
quire that all their meat be inspected
before entering the city, but it could
not refuse, as it had done in this case,
to allow the meat to be inspected and
thus bar it from the markets.

EVIDENCE ALL IN,

| The Evidence In the Cronin Trial All In
| and Arguments Commenced-Bad For
| Coughlin.
| CHICAGO, Nov 30.-At the afternoon
session of the CrOnin case yesterday a
number of keepers and frequenters of
saloons were examined in regard to the
| opening of certain saloon on the
| night of the murder. Then the de-
tense rested, and States Attorney
LoDgenecker said:
IF the court please, we have some
evidence that has come to our knOwl-
| edge, about ten o'clock or little be-
| fore ten, which we have not had the
time to look into. OF course it will be
evidence i'm chief, probably. Not hav-
| ing come to our knowledge until this
morning, we feel like asking the court
] to let us introduce the evidence at this
| late hour"
After some objection by Mr.. Forrest
the court called the States Attorney
into private consultation, at the close
of which Judge Mcconnell said:
81 take it that the evidence which
the States Attorney has ought to go
in the case. have decided to allow it
to go in. 1t will not delay the opening
of the case to the jury. If allow it to
go i'll L do not see that it ought to in
terfere with the opening of the address
to the jury, and if you, Mr.. Forrest, de-
sire time to answer it, will give you
the time. 1t is matter which can be
disposed of at any time"
Police Officer Flynn was then called
to the stand, and i'm response to ques-
tions testified as follows:
"When Daniel COughlin was arrested
l was ordered by the lieutenant, Eli
oft, to take him to the Harrison street
station, which / did. When we got
there 1 searched him in Captain Bar
trans office. These two knives which
l have in my hand found in his pos
session. l took the knives and re-
vOlver from COughlin, took them back
to headquarters, went upstairs to Ell
liOtt's office, and then took them down
to my box in headquarters and locked
them up. They were there until the
10Th or 18th September, when 1
took them to the Fidelity vault, where
they have since remained. Last night I
called the attention of Captain Schuet-
tier to them at East avenue station. 1
did not disclose the fact that had
them to any one prosecuting the case.
Ex-Captain Bartram knew 1 had the
knives, but up to last evening did not
call the attention of any one else to
them"
This closed the direct examination,
and Mr.. Forrest moved to exclude the
evidence on the ground that the knives
had been in the possession of the State
ever since COughlin's arrest. The mo-
tion was Overruled.
T. Il. COnklin, the man with whom
DIR. Cronin lived, was then called to
the stand. He identified the knives as
having been carried by DR.. CrOnin
when alive. The smaller one the wit
ness had himself carried for two years,
and he then gave it to DR.. Cronin.
The larger one, the witness said, he
had found in the street. II they were |
not DR.. CrOnin's knives they looked |
exactly like them. DIR. Cronin carried
the smaller knife in his vest pocket. |
This ended the evidence and States |
Attorney Longenecker began his sd-
dress to the jury.

He Came to America to Read but WAS
Compelled to Quit.
In 1878 Mr.. Collins visited the United
States and was cordially received, al
though his public readings from his
novels were not successful. His appear
ance in Philadelphia vas notable one.
Mr.. Collins had appeared two nights be-
fore for the first time, in Albany, and
there were mysterious hints given out
that he had greatly disappointed his
hearers and saddened the hearts Of his
managers. In Horticultural Hall, how
ever, he was welcomed by a very large
audience, and a very friendly one, rep
resenting the culture of this city. The
programme called for the reading of an
original ghost story. Some peculiar
English paraphernalia in the way of an
odd-looking sOunding-board,m made of red
muslin, and little desk, were the great
novelist's environment, and he was
earnestly admonished, before going on
the platform, that he must keep up his
voice and read slowly and distinctly.
His reception was most cordial, and
every thing started off we'll, but in less
than ten minutes the readers voice sank
almost to muffled undertone. What
the story was about not one-third of
those present could tell, and those in the
front seats who could hear seemed to be
more disgusted than those in the rear.
An hour passed, when the reader, unfor-
tunately for himself, took recess.
When ho returned nearly one-half his
audience had disappeared, among them
the leading representatives and editors
of the Philadelphia newspapers, and
some from New York. Mr.. Collins plod-
ded along until the weary end, and it
was the end of himself as we'll as his
ghost in this country. He had bank
ruptcd his managers, and few days
later, after making formal appearance,
with like i'll success, in two or three
other towns, he set sail for England, a
sadly disappointed man. The press al
most with one accord declared him the
worst of bad lot of English platform
readers who at that time were making
annual raids upon the finances of the
people.-Philadelphia Record.

The Story of a Collie,

The following is true story about a
collie who took hanson. He was lost
in Oxford, so after spending some time in
looking for him, his mistress went
home, and was surprised when she ar
rived to see him in the hall. The butler
told her the story and it was this: "Af
ter the dog had been lost he saw an
empty hanson, which he got into; and
the cabby could not get him out for he
showed his teeth. Cabby called a
policeman, who could not move him
either, but with some difficulty they
read the name and address on the col
lar, and settled it would be best to
drive him to his home. When he arrived
the cabby rang the bell and asked for
his fare, (which he of course got and
then the butler opened the door and the
dog jumped out as though nothing had
happened.-London Tid-Bits.

AN INTERESTING FAMILY.
4 Carolina Log Cabin which Shelters Z
Remarkable Colony.

A Carolina Log Cabin which Shelters .
Remarkable Colony.
In the western part of North Carolina,
and about seven miles west of Hot
Springs, there lives family by the
name of Brooks. 1t is very interesting
one, and many visitors to the quiet little
town of Hot Springs have had their
curiosity so aroused by stories of this
family that they have hired teams and
driven seven miles to the Brooks resi-
dence. This consists of little, low log
cabin in an unsettled district, and is oc-
cupied by father, mother and twenty
exceptionally handsome children. Every
one is blonde, with golden yellow hair
and peachy complexion, and all as igno-
rant, wild and untutored as they are
beautiful. In addition to the above
family proper. the two oldest girls are
married; one is widow with two chill
dren, and the other has three children
and husband. Both these lit
tie families are living with the
old folks at home, making in all
family of twenty-eight, when none are
missing. The home, or log cabin, con-
sists of but one room, and that a very
small one. On two sides of this are
built seven berths, one above another.
against the wall, and they were evident
ly built with the cabin. In these
"boxes" the parents, children and grand
children lay themselves away when
night comes on. Three times a day
this interesting family may be seen at
meals. The oldest members seat them
selves about on the ground in front of
the house, ''Indian fashion," and are
favored with tin plates and iron spoons,
while the younger ones stand around a
rough, homemade table inside the
cabin. eating beans with relish that
is good to look upon. This is the prin-
ipal diet; now and then they have a
change, but it is of the same plain.
cheap order. They are all healthy and
robust. knowing nothing of sickness.
The father of this family, who has to
''hustle" for the "beans" to fill the
twenty-eight hungry mouths, makes as
high as SIS some months, but oftener
his income will not exceed SIS per
month, which trifling sum he earns by
walking seven miles daily to Hot
Springs to work in the mill of a Mr..
Frank Gahagan. The mother, who has
a baby in arms, seems contented and
happy as she sits with one foot on the
side of the homemade cradle, made of an
ordinary pine box, with rockers sawed
out of a rough board, which she every
now and then gives "a vigorous kick
to keep the cradle moving, while she
sings over and over again few lines of
some old hymn she has learned. Every
one is struck with the remarkable beau
ty of the children, from the youngest
to the oldest. 1t is something wonder
full. The parents have found names for
all but one, which is without name
yet.-St. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
