formed was wholly unconstitutional and
void. Again, the applicant asserts that
Lyle did not even do what was assigned =,
but transgressed the limits of his ap-
pointment, and when he incorporated
the amendments he did not put them in
as passed by the legislature. The legis-
lature in the special session of 1879 au-
thOrized Lyle to codify the laws pass ed
in both special session and regular ses-
sion, but that the governors proclama-
ton never contemplated such an enact
ment, and the legislation to such an eff
feet was Illegal and void.
The application next presents q
contrast between the present laws
and the laws in force previously, and
from this deduces that he is Illegally re-
strained. Several instances of the codi-
f1er's work are quoted and discussed,
among which is this: ''By the printed
bill, as on file in the secretary of state S
office, and q written amendment at
tached thereto, the codifer was author
lied to insert these words in article 729,
code of criminal procedure: THE judge
may not, before verdict, convey to the
jury his opinion of the code. That the
codifier, IN the exercise of his legislative
functions, changed the word code TO
ease, and made changes in many other
instances
PRACTICALLY MULTIPLYING THE LAWS.
From the foregoing allegations Duncan
claims, first, that he has not been legal
~ convicted of any crime; second. that
there was no legal grand jury. and hence
no valid Indictment could be presented;
third, that all the requirements necessary
to the validity of bill are wanting in
the penal code ana the code Of criminal
procedure, and that as coditication
the entire thing is rank absurdity. He
claims that the constitutional require
ments enumerated in his application are
mandatory, and cannot be ignored by
any body.
Duncan's application was presented to
Judge Don A Pardee, the Federal cir
cult judge at New Orleans, on April 10,
and the hearing was set for May in this
city. Notice of the granting Of the hear
ing has been served upon the attorney
general of the state and upon the
district attorney. The Federal ques-
ton is held to arise because
q decision by a court of the state of
Texas upon the issue presented would tend
to disturb the present system of Texas law
and cast cloud upon the title to office of
the judge himself. 1t is held that the
state court would in some measure be sit
ting on its own case.
Duncan g attorneys have been engaged
upon the case for many months, and the
application for Duncan's release is the
result of the investigation into the legis-
lation Of the state solons in 1872

One-Half of New York Suffering from Dys-
pepsia.

''There never was time in all my expert
ence,'' said DR.. Charles Perry to me the other
day, when so many men and women COM
planned of dyspepsia. Fully one-half of New
York suffers from it, DR.. Perry knows what
he is talking about. For twenty years he has
sold drugs in the vicinity of Printing House
square, where busy men and women hive to-
gether like bees. Indigestion has become the
great American evil. During the past four
or FIVE years there has been an enormous in
crease in dinner giving, and New York now
rivals, if not equals. either London Paris in
during evening. How men manage to pre-
serve their digestive organs is a mystery. But
guess they don't do it, for DR.. Perry tells me
that he sells more medicine for indigestion and
dyspepsia in one day now than he did in
month ten years ago. Fashionable doctors
could a tale unfold on this subject of over-eat-
ing. 1t has really become a crime against
nature, and is one of the most alarming symp-
toms Of our too rapid civilization.

Three Women Who Write.

Three women whom the public takes an in
terest in were on Upper Broadway the other
afternoon. The first was the Marqulse LAMA

man, with a wealth of curly brown hair. She
lives in style in Seventy street, has num-
berless friends and entertains in queenly way
Her rooms are decorated with odd pieces of
brac, gathered during many trips abroad
She is one OF the best mandolin players in New
York, quick at repartee, and many leagues in
advance of most women in originality of ideas
and liberality of thought. She has about COM
pleted new novel.
The second woman is slight of build, but
would be noticeable even IN a crowd. She has
a singularly open face and profusion of fluffy
hair. She goes along the street with the air Of
a business woman, who has a great deal to do
and only 8 short time to do it in. 1t is Ella
though she looks very far from being poetess.
Like the Marquise LAMA, she entertains on
liberal scale and her parlors always crowded
on reception nights. She has some hopes Of es-
tablishing salon in New York. She is making
money rapidly with her pen, has an army of
friends. perfect health, and has every reason to
feel proud OF herself and look on the pleasant
side of life.
The third woman is Gertrude Florence Ather-
ton, also blonde, strong of build, and with the
glow of health on her cheeks. She was Cali.
fornia girl originally, but has taken up her
abode in New York. She lives quietly in hand
some apartments, entertains a few chosen
friends whenever they favor her with a visit.
but devotes most OF her time to her literary
work. Her novels have been unusually success

ALMOST LOST HIS BRIDE.

From the Ne,O York Star.

Herr StuD9l Got into a sorry FIX be-
cause He Didn't Understand En-
glish.
From the New York Star.
An amusing comedy was witnessed yes
terday in the city court before Judge Nc
Adam, in which Camille Stubel and Miss
Florence Coils, both members of the
"King's Fool" company's chorus, now per-
forming at N1blo's, filed the principal parts.
Long ago Camil 10 fell in love with the
graceful figure, the sparkling eyes and viva
cious manner of NJ ISIS Coils, and she re-
ciprocated. Yesterday was the day set for
the marriage, and Judge McAdam was
agreed upon as a fitting party to tie the
knot. A dozen or more of the chorus girls
came down to see that the drama was prop
erly acted.
AS rule, such a ceremony is short, but
yesterday Judge McAdam prolonged it
somewhat. He asked tho bridegroom q
number of questions, among offers if he
welded wife," aid a prompt reply In the
affirmative was given. Teen the judge
asked Camille if he would "love, cherish and
support whereupon Mr.. Stubel promptly
replied that he would not.
The BRIDE blushed and the chorus girls
smiled. Judge McAdam looked confused,
but The bridegroom was serenely unmoved.
" will you the question agaln, said
the justice, after painful pause. and look
ing sternly at the seeming cutprit. "Do you
promise to support your wifes"
"No,n replied Stubel in a Acknowledgment
tone.
The bride by this time looked as if she
would faiut, and CONSERVATION was on
every face save that OF the Bridegroom.
The difficulty was finally solved by the
statement that Ssubel, who is a German,
did not properly understand the English
language and, therefore. did not under
stand the justice. An interpreter was sent
for, and, when the question d his answer
was explained to Stubel, he lmost tainted
OF the narrow chance he had Of losing his
bride. He said "yes" several times, that he
would support his wife, and all ended
hapnily
