An Old Revolutionary Claim Settled.

The Court Of Claims to-day rendered judg-
ment in favor of the state of Georgia for
S35.555.40. That amount had been heretofore
found due on account of money expended by
the state in furnishing supplies to the troops
engaged in local defense for the common cause
of independence in 1777. The money was not
paid to the state, however, but was passed to
her credit on the books of the treasury as an
offset to a portion of the direct tax with
which she was charged.
The court held that as the state of Georgia
had never assumed the direct tax, there was
no obligation on her part to pay the same. and
that therefore the offset had been wrongfully
made. Phillips, Lamar. and Zackry appeared
on behalf of the state. Opinion by Judge Scho-

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER's HOME.
He Buys the Residence Of Judge Wylie
on Thomas Circle for 100000.

Chief Justice Fuller has secured permanent
home in this city. He has purchased the large
double residence of ex-Judge Andrew Wylie. Of
the District Court, which is located on the
northeast side of Thomas Circle. The Chief
Justice has been occupying the residence of A.
L. Barbour on Columbia Heights at the head
of 18th street He found this location made
too long walk for him from the capitol. and
he has been looking about for some time for
house Nearly every house that was available
was too small for the use of his family or else
the location did not suit He finds that the
residence of Judge Wylie is well adapted for his
use and WIN take possession of it next fall.
The price paid for the property was 100000.
THE CHIEF JUSTICE TO TAKE TRIP.
Soon after the adjournment next Monday of
the Supreme Court for the summer vacation,
the Chief Justice will go to Charleston for a
while. and then to Chicago. and it is probable
that he will remain in that city the greater
portion of the summer. The Chief Justice
speaks encouragingly of the progress of bust
ness before the Supreme Court. The term
about to close. he says, will show that little
has been gained since it has began. Cases that
In the ordinary course of Supreme Court pro-
cedure would have required three years to be
reached. have been settled in two years and
eight months.
SUGGESTIONS TO EXPEDITE SUPREME COURT BUS
MESS.
The business before the court the Chief Jus
tice thinks. could be expedited by the estab-
lishment of an intermediate or appellate court,
as proposed some years ago by Senator Davis
bill. This plsn," Chief Justice Fuller says,
was tried in Illinois. and in about two years
the supreme court OF that state was enabled to
catch up with business that had accumulated
on the docket. While it might not have such
luck in the Supreme Court OF the United States.

Just four days before the ball the dress
came home in a large box. Mandy was
looking at it and wondering if she
should not wait and let Nathan open II,
when city ambulance drove up TO the
house, and as Mandy with an agonized
face opened the door, they brought Nathan

'Do you suppose I care for that when

him it meant three months IN bed, and
when he felta little easier, they talked ii al
over.

Later, Ruth Brown, their pretty young
neighbor, came in to sit awhile. Ruth's
family were not rich, but they moved in the
best society. Ruth had been much pleased
with the SINNERS. Their domestic life
interested her. She liked to watch them

She talked on and on, of a reception,

MIN, but he described the thing he wanted
as nearly as he could. Then he enclosed E
liberal check and directed it to one of the
prominent New York houses.
1--WE kin git yer other fxin's here, ]
s'pose," he said
The next night after supper, with an art
fulness worthy of diplomat, Nathan be
gan to talk of ''old times" Times when
they had danced together. When he
thought he had cautiously led up to the sub
ject, he said: MANDY, 1 was a practlcin' :

Mandy's dancing was something pleasant
to see. Her plump, pretty figure, with the
lines OF youthful grace still in it. showed TO
great advantage as she took the steps with
Nathan, proving she had not forgotten.
The dress came. Nathan was a little dis
appointed, but Mandy was pleased and al
most wished she could go to the ball.
Nathan, having ideas of his own on the
subject, they searched the whole city oyer
before they found the right person to nm

A DISGUSTING TRICK.
Indian JuggIers Lifting a Chair With the
Eye-Lids.

Il saw two women jugglers at Jey-
pore" says Frank e.. Carpenter. They
were bright. intelligent-looking girls,
one of whom appeared almost old
enough to be the mother of the other.
They did many wonderful things, one
of which was mixing up sand in water,
and then putting the hand into the dis
colored fluid, they brought handful
OF sand, which they filtered through
their fingers as dry as before it went
in. The youngest of these girls was
perhaps fifteen. She was tall, well
formed and tine-looking. She had
bracelets on her arms and on her feet,
and her eyes were as beautiful as those
OF a gaZelle. One of her tricks was the
lifting of a heavy chair by her eyelids,
the thought of which almost makes my
eyes sore. The chair was a heavy ma
hOgany one. which belonged to the
room in which | was STAYING. She tied
two strong strings to the top of this,
and affixed the ends of these strings
to her eyes by little round metal cups,
each about the size of nickel These
fitted over the eye-balls and under the
lids, and she bent over while they were
so fastened. Raising herself. she pulled
up the chair with these strings, with
the muscles of her eyelids, and carried
it from one side of the room to the
other. 1t was horrible sight. and as
she took the metal cups from her eyes
they filed with water. and she almost
sank TO the floor. told her the trick
was disgusting, and that she ought
never to try it again. Still for this and
the rest of the show, these girls were
well satisfied with two rupees or about
seventy cents"

PERILS ON THE STREET.
The Little Things That Endanger thu
Lives of City People.

The Little Things That Endanger the
Lives of City People.
We stop to chat with friend and
lean against deadly charged electric
pole, and it is all over with the con-
versation. A passing plumber burns
our coat with his unextinguished hand
furnace. A passing carpenter lacerates
our trousers with saw. A passing
porter imperils our head with a long
piece of gas-pipe on his shoulder.
One is annoyed if not endangered by
the servant washing a sidewalk with a
hose, or fireman carrying his wrig-
Cling serpent up a ladder. A fresh
young Italian maid from Cork. with
white muslin nightcap on her head,
runs us down with a baby carriage,
soaring our shins or necessitating a
visit to the chiropodist.
Then there is the woman's umbrella
that wasteth at monday, scooping
us up after the manner of a drag-net
or impaling US in its blind and head
long charge. All these are sidewalk
perils. If We undertake to cross the
street dangers multiply. The pedes-
trian has no rights which the driver is
bound to respect, and the footfarer,
unless a handsome woman. personally
conducted by big policeman, will De
subject to being run down by the driver
of beer wagon, or a physician in a
hurry, or the chief CT the fire depart
ment on his ''golOmping' way to a con-
Migration. or a coroner intent on beat
ing a rival. or belated voter. standing
out till the last moment for his price,
or even a hearse on its business way
back from the grave.
Runaway horses are another source
of midway perils, and so are wagons
turning around corner with long irons
or beams projecting from behind. This
last might, perhaps, be increased, but
these common instances show that man
walks the city amid perils scarcely less
than those of the desert, the sea, the
forest, or even the battlefield, almost
as deadly as those encountered and
enumerated by St. Paul.
Most OF them. indeed, are ''perils by
false brethren against which the in
functions and penalties of the law are
futile. To avoid misapprehensiOns, we
will add that these lines are not written
in the interest of any particular acct
