THE SABBATH QUESTION.
ONE PHASE OF IT WILL BE DECIDED BY
FEDERAL COURTS.

Tennessee Furnishes a Test Case, the De-
fendant Being a Seventh Day Adventist,
Prosecuted for Working on Sunday
Don Dickinson viii Defend Him.
NASHVILLE, November 18.-R. NJ.
King, of Obion county, who last week
made application for writ of habeas corpus
before Judge E. S. Hammond, of the Fed
eral Court, was released from confinement
Saturday The petition stated that he was
illegally imprisoned in the county Jail by
virtue of an alleged mitimus issued by the
Circuit Court Clerk. He claimed that he
was falsely imprisoned contrary to the
fourteenth anne ndment of the Constitution
OF the United States.
King is citizen of Obion, living near
Union City, and is Seventh Day Advent
ist. He is farmer, and was arrested on a
charge of violating the Sabbath Day by
plowing in mis- field one Sunday. He was
tried in the Circuit Court and convicted.
From this decision King appealed to the
State Supreme Court. This court sustained
the decision of the lower court and Mr..
King was sent to jail. His attorney then
applied for a writ OF habeas corpus, and it
was granted by Judge Hammond as above
stated. The writ is returnable on the fourth
Monday in November, when the case will be
given hearing at jackson by Judge Ham,
mond.
Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson, who was a
member of President Clevelani's cabinet,
has been retained as counsel bv the order OF
the general society of Adventists of the
United States He will examine into the
matter of the prosecution OF the members
for Sabbath breaking throughout the
country. He proposes. if possible, to de-
wise some means of testing the validity OF
conviction in States, and especially when
the prosecutions have savored OF religious
persecution. The case of Mr.. King is to be
made a test case, and no matter W hat the
decision of Judge Hammond may be, an
appeal will be taken to the United States
Supreme Court.

TRYING TO SCARE THEM.

President Prince Threatens Injunctions
Against New York, Chicago and Pitts
burg Clubs.
SPECIAL TELEGRAh TO THE DIsPATcH.i
BOSTON, MASS, November lS-President
Prince, the newly-elected head Of the Players
League, is out with a tremendous bluff" In
an interview to-day he stated that injunctions
Will be applied for against the New York, Chr
cago and Pittsburg p. L. clubs for deserting
the Players League. Mr.. Prince says he has
$4,000 to spend over the matter. The threat,
for such it merely is. is looked upon as ridicu-
lous, because Judge Bacon, the p. LIS own law
yer, and all other prominent attorneys declare
that there is no law for any such inJunctions.
Besides Mr.. Prince has been trying his best 10
make terms YiI h the n. L. at his price.
What is considered here,more ridiculous still,
President Prince has been trying to persuade
people that the Players League will go on next
season. This statement causes everybody TO
almost ignore anything he says, because the
best friends of the p. L. are satisfied that II Is
done for.

NEW ORLEANS AGAIN EXCITED.

Italians Are Intinnidating Witnesses and
Citizens Threaten Lynching.
NEW ORLEANS, November Is. - The
anti-Italian excitement has been revived by
growing belief that the Hennessey assas-
sins cannot be convicted. Threats of lynch
ing in case of miGcarriage of justice are
freely made. Some of the witnesses for the
prosecution have been threatened, and 9th
ers have been induced to leave the city.
The Italians are terribly incensed at al
legged maltreatment of prisoners, and their
more conservative organ, the Gazettd
Cdtolicd, calls Tor an Italian ironclad in the
Mississippi to protect them. The Italian
Consul has preferred charges OF cruelty to
the prisoners.

LOUISVILLE, November IS.-The meeting of
the American Association to be held to-day
a week Will be an important one as the circuit
for next season will be decided 1t is about
definitely settled that Syracuse and Rochester
will be dropped. Washington, Indianapolis
and Milwaukee have applied for franchises
but it is not at all probable that either will be
admitted. The Athletics franchise is now
owned by the Associa ion, as the owners of that
club failed to make good their guarantee, and
they are still deeply indebted to the Associa-
ton All club members of the Association for
81 will be compelled to deposit cash guaran-
tee of g. 500 by January /, to play the season
through. Ii was ascertaned to-day from a re-
liable source that club would probably be
placed in Cincinnati. The Association still
owns franchise there, and several men have
written to the Association Office here saying
that they can secure backing for club there.
Manager Chapman will take the Louisville
club South on March ]. Grounds for weekday
games will be secured in the center of the city.

News Of the Day.

"Homewood track is all right for next
year, and will be, l hope, for many years
to come" said an official OF the Driving
Park Association last evening after the
stockholders meeting This will be very
pleasing news indeed, to those who patron
lze horse racing and who desire the city to
have a frst-class track. That efforts have
been put iorth for some time past to have
the park diverted from its present use is
true, but at the last moment the parties who
desired to so dispose of the park did not ma
terialize, simply because they discovered that
the charter of the Association was against
such 4 proceeding. Even if the people
who want TO Sell the track said the
authority above quoted, ''have con-
trolling interest in the stock. there is clause
in our charter which provides that the park
shall not be utilized for anything else than
horse-racing and kindred sports, except by the
unanimous consent of the stockholders 1t is
this clause that Will keep the track, because
there are quite number of us who will never
sell our stock"
In accordance with the announcement pub
lished in this paper yesterday the stockholders
held their meeting. They met at the office of
Captain T. H. Kerr. President of the assocla-
ton. THere were IS stockholders represented
and the meeting WAS of the most harmonious
elected without opposition: T r. Kerr, g. I.
Rafferty,. J. X. Lanahan, L. :. Cunningham P.
II. Hacke, I. J. Armstrong, ]. A. McCracken.
Charles Donuely, J. Is. Hyndman.
Il WAS further agreed at the meeting that
new entrance gaze be made at the side of the
park next the railroad. This will save a walk
almost entirely round the park, as patrons of
tie races can go i'll at the new entrance and
walk straight across the park to the grand
stand. new judges stand and press box will
also be erected What is more important STILL
the track will be greatly improved. and i'm
proved in a way that will make it one of
the fastest circular tracks in America.

The Smoking Jacket.

The most fashionable and probably the
nest popular indoor garment is the smoking
jacket. 1t is fanciiully designed sack coat,
made of light cloth and lined with quilted
satin or silk. The colors are mostly dark
and quiet shades of brown, sage green and
blue. The collar, the edges of the coat, the
cuffs and pockets are laced with quilted
satin a shade darker than the material OF
the jacket. The collar has Tuxedo roll
and is fastened by knots of corded silk rope
or frog" There is nothing that will make
a more suitable holiday present than one of
the above jackets. Our line this season is
unusually large. Remember the best pat
