Tho Virginia Cases.

The decisions in the United States Su-
preme Court on Monday in two cases
turning upon the right of citizen to sue
his own State ought TO foreshadow kin
dred decision in the Virginia cases, which
were lately argued before that court. jus
tice BRApLry in delivering the opinion said
that the whole question comes to this,
that the obligations of State for their
performance rest upon the honor and
good faith Of the State, unless 1t consents
to be brought into court.
If he adheres TO that doctrine he VIII be
obliged 70 say that the obligations which
Mr.. royal says Virginia cannot impair
must rest for their performance upon the
honor and good faith of Virginia unless
she consents to be brought into court. a. OF
course she never will consent.

found in q hallway of Butler-street

pened to notice the manner In. which
she twisted the dishclCth rs she was
wringing it out after washing the cup, and
at once became convinced that the

Two murderers sentenced to be hanged
in Colorado got new lease of life from the
Supreme Court of the United States on
Monday because the law imposing the
death penalty was passed after the COM
mission Of their crime. That is to say. the
law was an or pos, facio law. Such laws
are forbidden by the Federal Constitu-
ton. Many persons mistakenly suppose
that that inhibition applies to civil cases.

Such OF our customers rs have looked

the fulness of our stock. The truth OF
the matter is, during the first part of tho
year, when the millinery trade is dull,
we laid in a very large stock of these
goods-larger than we usually handle
during the year-and now that the
spring season is coming on we must re-
duce this stock to make room for straw
goods. In order to best accomplish this
result We have made great reductions in
our prices.
The lie. quality of Hamburg Edgings
have now been reduced to lc.
