An ORIGINAL Package CASE IN MAINE.
REVERSING THE PREVIOUS OPINIONS OF THE
STATE COURTS.

REVERSING THE PREVIOUS OPINIONS OF THE
STATE COURTS.
Augusta, Ne, May 30 (speciaD.-The Law Court
today gave decision in favor of Michael Burns III
the famous Original Package case. Sixtytwo cases
OF rum and whskey imported direct from England BY
Burns were seized two years ago In his shop In water
st. The case went 10 trial and Burns was convicted
in the superior Court before Judge WhitehouSe ana the
LIQUORS we're held. The vent up to the Law
Court and the decision came 20 day from the pen OF
tho Chief Justice. IL ID a. follows:
The fact that the early Prohbitory laws of the state
nroylded that they should not apply to wine and
spr!tuous liquors imported into the state nom a
foreign port aud sold IN the original packages was
also brought out IN the pIohibltory law OF iool
This substantially retained. Inc exception q, 8i
diieront enctments until the year l651 when 1t vas
in most part dropped from the statutes touching the
sale of Intoxicating liquors, there being left only inc
clause relating To what should not be taken as eNl
dcncc that liquors were Imported the sane ll"t LIS Is
now embodied In section % OF chapter - OF our
present revised statutes, Laws Of l-jr Chapter So %
After those decisions Of the court and enactmehS o
tho Legislature, much change had been wrought III
the public sentiment this ana kindred questions
that II became, in the public mind' debataDe point
whether the rule as laid down IN Brown agt Mary
land. far a. affecting The sale ol lmi"rVM nIuoiIS
In a state in which the sale Of intoxicating LIQUORS Is
by its laws forbidden. would on reconsideration be
adhered to by supreme Court Of the United states
The ruling In the present cases IN the court Deow
was I'm a measure Ia test the question whether the
principle of the case alluded To WOuld De sus'eo a.
applicable to the facts Of the present records. But
the case OF LeSy and others agt. ltiruln Just
decided by the supreme Court OF the nitL states on
ull consideration seems clearly TO settle 70 question
and to REQUIRE US ~ bound on such questions
Ly the law as determined by that court. to reverse
the ruling, below and sustain the law according To the
t,,.pondcnts contention The opinion of IA minority
OF the Judges sitting In that case appears To hc very
elaborate and cNhau,tSc of the question embodied
and may commend itself 10 many a. containing thc
hetcr conclusion our obedience Is due. however, To
the Judgment which prevails: Not that our Stat.t
i, unronstifutioual for IL prohibits only the unlawful
sale Of Intoxicating liquors but that IT. interpretation
must bc constitutional. Exceptions sustained

THE LUTHERANs.
The Norwegian Synod Settles
Down to Business.

After considerable discussion on the
subject of home missions, the Norwe-
gian synod, which is now in session in
Minneapolis, yesterday resolved to send
three missionaries to the territory west
of Montana, one of whom will go to
Australia, and probably the other two
to Utah to work in the fields recently
deserted by the Mormon elders. The
normal school at Sioux Falls was dis
cuSSed, and the necessity for teachers
that can teach both the English and
Norwegian languages was dwelt on.
The lay delegates took lively part i'll
the discussion. New buildings were
needed, and it was decided to take up
subscriptions to raise fund for this
purpose, the president to make cir
cult in the settlements soliciting aid.
The election of officers and the nam
ing of committees resulted as follows:

THE NEW LUMBER LIST.
Retailers Will Deposit a Forfeit
of $1,000.

RGtalIcrS Will DeDOSIC a fOrIe1C
of 1000.
The lumbermen's exchange held its
meeting yesterday morning, and took
action upon the schedule of rates drawn
up by the committee and presented at
Saturdays meeting. AS the business
was of the greatest Importance the at
tendance was the largest i'm the history
of the exchange. A few slight changes
were made in the list as previously cor
rected. In the first common dimen.
sions a 14-fOot length was added which
was placed 81 higher up to 20 feet, and
50 higher from 90 up to "a feet than the
2x12, which is fixed at S13 up to
20 feet, and at SIG up to 81
feet. in number three common
boards, and 8, the price was lowered
from So to s.. The 12-inch stock
boards, dressed, A and B, IL, IA and IL
feet in length, were raised from S37 to
$40. In the first common boards, Is
inches and wider, at II. IA and 16 feet,
were placed atS17. The and in the
fencing list, in the first grade. were
changed from $14 to S13. In flooring
and ceiling few changes OF minor i'm
pOrtance was made, and price list Oh
Snort siding was added to the original.
At first it was intended that the forfeit
to be deposited for maintaining the
rates should be 500, but on motion of
Fred Clarke it was raised to $1,000. A
committee Of five, consisting of MUSES.,
Clarke, Brooks, Backus and Sherlin,
was appointed to draft an agreement
which the retailers will be asked to

The Single Taxists.

The Single Tax league met at the
West hotel last evening, with DIR. Fin
negan in the chair, G. j. Buell. taking a
rest from the position he has filled for
many consecutive meetings. The league
passed motion to the effect that COM
mittee of three should be appointed to
confer with the programme committee
fol the labor picnic, which is to be held
July 4, to see it arrangements
could not be made to have
a single tax speech delivered at
the grounds. 1t was also thought
proper to make an effort to have single
tax teachings brought before the Ma
tional educational convention when it
convenes in st. Paul, and committee
was ordered appointed to devise plan
for that purpose.
Capt. A. H. Nelson took the affirma-
tive in discussion of the proposition,
"Resolved, That the stringency of money
the monopoly OF transportation. and the
corporate monopoly of land are the
causes of hard times. and that single
tax OIL land would be no relief to the
masses"
The negative side was open to any
member of the league, and lengthy
discussion followed the able argument
of Capt. Nelson. The attendance was
smaller than usual.

from religious lethargy, have been
brought oyer to a sound and Intelligent
Christian life.
The Anti-Missouria Brotherhood is
the youngest denomination, having sep.
arated itself from the synod on accOunt
of the predeStinatiOn question. All
these three now feel the necessity OF
standing united against the common
enemies of the church, and, as there IS
no difference in their doctrines, they
wish to form lawful and legal cOrpo-
ration. The synod has so far not taken
any steps to Join the three others and is
not likely to do so for while yet. Inc
three denominations will hold special
meetings for two days and dissolve their
organization and adopt the constitution
for the United Lutheran Church
of America. They will then meet to-
gether in the Swedish tabernacle Tor the
rest of the session. The conference
brings to the United church its property
in Minneapolis, besides $4,000 Inc
Anti-Missourian Fraternity will give
$4,000, and the Augustana Synod Will
give $4,000. Seminaries, preparatory
colleges, and probably other schools for
mixed pupils will then be built One
thousand ministers and delegates will
be in attendance, and the meeting is
looked upon by the friends OF the
church as the most important ever held
by Norwegians in this country. The
joint debate on the constitution Will
probably be the most interesting, as
there seems to be some difference OF
opinion whether the resolutions OF the
United church shall be binding for the
individual congregation or only adVlS-
Ory.
