BADEAU LOSES HIS CASE.
The Supreme Court Decides That He Can
NOT Draw Double Pay.

not Draw Double Pay.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-An opinion was
rendered by the Supreme Court of the United
States to-day in the ca,e of Adam Badeau, ap-
pellant, versus the United States. This was
suit brought by Badeau in the Court of Claims,
for pay as a retired Captain in the army from
April %, 1870, to September 16, 1881, during
which time he was Consul General to London,
and from November 25 1882, up to the date of
filing the suit during which he was Consul
General at Bavana. The United States fled
a counter claim, stating that Badeau was in
debted to the United States for money er-
roneously paid him as an army officer for por-
tions of the period from December 81, 1859, to
October 81 1882 The Court of Claims by
divided court, dismissed both claims.
The Supreme Court held that Geneal Badeau
while drawing salary as Consul General was
expressly inhiblTed from receiving any addf-
tonal compensation for discharging the duties
Of any other office. 1t is true. the Court says,
that it has been decided that person holding
two offices or employments under the Govern
ment, when the services received or which
might be required of them were not incompat-
ible, is not precluded from receiving the salary
or compensation of both, but the Treasury De-
partment did not apparently regard this case
as falling within that exception, and the Court
agrees with that conclusion. 1t is held that
though under the act of 1875 certain army Off
GERS may hold diplomatic or consular appoint
ments without being held to resign their places
in the army, this does not entitle them to pay
as army officers when they are absent from
their country in the discharge of continuous
official duties inconsistent with subsection to
military rule. Such officers, though they may
still be borne on the retired list, cannot receive
double compensation,
The Court also refuses to disturb the iudg-
ment of the Court of Claims adverse to the
counterelaim of the United States. If::Badeau
was not an officer in law, he was serving as such
in fact, and no reason Is seen why he should be
required to return what was paid him while he
was discharging duty as an army officer.
Opinion by Chief Justice Fuller.

NO spIRITUALIsM IN 1T.
Mr.. TOmpkins Exposes the nIodus Opernndi
(. of That Little Card Trick.
IT. IT.,

Special Telegram to The Dispatch.
COLUMBUS, April 16-The remarkable cara
trick which was performed by Mr.. Veazey at
the Grand Hotel, Cincinnati. was the subject
Of Sunday gossip in this city, and to those in
clined to spiritualism was considered among
the things marvellous. Hon. Emmett Tomp-
kins, member of the Legislature from Athens
county, was probably the most sought after
man in the city, but he had gone to his home
over Sunday and thus the agony was prolonged.
The curious wanted to learn the particulars OF
the mysterious part which he played in the
card trick, If it was trick. Mr.. Tompkins re-
turned to the city this morning and was at
once subject of investigation and close IN
quiry. A reporter asked him how about tnat
four spot Of clubs and he said:
HAD known there would have been any
newspaper notoriety about the affair ! would
not have answered the telegram, but sup
posed it was matter to be confined to q pri-
vate party of gentlemen at the Grand Hotel,
Cincinnati"
"How about the trick in question:
Among the many things which Mr.. Veazey
does which demonstrates that he can show
tricks as wonderful as the professional medium
Is that of having some one draw card from
pack and1having that person telegraph to the
third at distance who will in reply name the
card drawn. This was the trick performed at
the Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, Friday night.
Mr. Kellogg drew card from pack which
was undoubtedly held by Mr. veazey although
the newspaper reports do not so state The
card was concealed from Mr.. Veazey, and Mr..
Kellogg was ingeniously persuaded by Mr..
Veazey to telegraph, asking me the name Of the
card he had drawn. To this l replied he had
drawn the four of clubs, which was correct"
"But how do you explain the mystery%
'1n answering his question was not guided
by any spiritual or supernatural power The
fact is that Mr.. Veazey knew what card Mr..
Kellogg had drawn because he had so arranged
the pack that Mr.. Kellogg unwittingly drew
the very card Mr.. Veazey wanted him to, and
L.. @s.4w. T had rrrffh
Veazey some time ago that if ever received
such telegram just what answer to make.
The success of the whole thing depended upon
1t is nothing more than that-was first per-
formed In this country by Hermann before the
New York Chess Club, his confederate being
in Paris, to whom cablegram was sent and an
answer returned naming the card that had
been drawn"

THE EXPERIENCE OF THE BENCH.

Judge White may have surprised some of
his hearers yesterday by his personal views
as to beer, professedly based on the moder-
ate experience of daily glass of that bev-
erage taken as help to His Honor's noon
lunch. He also admitted that when in Ger
many he drank beer" often. But it is not
the quality of the unexpected in these state
ments which is really so interesting as the
consequential point which the Judge made.
He suggests ood for thought, viz: That
If we had such beer IN this country as in
Germany would be ireer to grant licenses
for its sale" This brings up phase of the
question which has perhaps been too little
thought of, either by those engaged in
the manufacture and sale of liquors, on
the one hand, or by such on the other as

Other Attractions.
Miss Lydia Thompson seems to have discoy-
cred the secret of eternal youth. She seemed
last night at the Bijou as lissonn. as oomely,
and as buoyant as she has been any time within
our recollection. If she isn't changed, neither
is the style of the burlesque she affects altered
in anything but name and a few trihing details.
The burlesque, the company, the star, the
jokes, and the scenery are what Lydia used TO
give London audiences years and years ago.
But none of these things are any less desirable
because they are not altogether nodded on
new plan.
The performance of Penelope" last night at
the Bijou Theater pleased a large audience
nightly because of the prettiness of the girls,
their shapeliness and their graceful dancing,
because of the Glowing of the comedians Rad
cliffe and Kelleher, because of the unrestrained
jollity OF the burlesque, and because OF some
other things.
