BROKE THE RECORD,
Review of Supreme Court Work
During the Term just Ended.


During the Term just Ended.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The United
States Supreme court, during the term
ending yesterday, completely smashed
the previous highest record of cases dis
posed of at one term of the court. set
tling GIT cases, against 40, which had
heretofore been the largest number
number of cases presented was unusu-
ally large, but of them only fifteen, which
have been argued, go over until the
next term for decision, and it is pro-
bable that the opinions in these cases
will be written during the summer re-
ceSSeS for announcement soon after the
court reconyeneS. Among the import
ant suits finally decided during the
term are those of Pennsylvania and
other states against the Pullman Palace
Car company, by which the company's
cars are made liable to taxation; the
state of Massachusetts, againstthe West
ern Union Telegraph company, in
which the cOmpany's lines and other
property is held to be subject to taxa
ton; the Dick Duncan case, which
an unsuccessful attempt was made to
overthrow the whole penal code of the
state of Texas: large number of Chi
nese exclusion cases; the Northern Pa
ciic railroad land case, involving title
to S5,000,000 worth of Northwestern
lands; the Jugiro, Wood and other New
York electrocution cases; the Kansas
liquor case decided yesterday in which
the colstitutionality of the original
package law was upheld; the applica-
tions of the Navassa rioters for habeas
corpus writS; supposedly final decree
t.. for.
litigation: two important army de-
cisions constituting the terms under
which private soldiers enlist; the Buffa-
10 First National bank suit, involving
the liabilities of bank directors for losses
sustained by the banks, and various i'm
pOrtant licenses, customs. tax, patent
and habeaS corpus cases and suits in
volving responsibility for personal in
juries. The only cases of general i'm
portance which go over are those of The
State of Maine VS.. The Grand Trunk
Railroad Company and The Singer Ma
chine Company VS.. Wright, state comp
troller, involving questions of tax
alton, and The United States
against The Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railroad Company, i'll which title to
large tracts of land is in dispute. The
court has set down number of very
important matters for argument before
a full bench Immediately after the court
reassembles in October, and the first
two or three weeks will probably be de-
voted to hearing cases of national i'm
portance. Among those so assigned
are the Behrlng sea suit, the Counsel
man case, as to the right of the inter-
stste commerce commission to compel
witnesses to testify; the Baltimore &
Ohio theatrical controversy, and the
test suit with regard to the constitution
ality and validity of the Mckinley tariff
and customs Administrative acts.

PORTER VS.. sABIN.
Minnesota's Ex-senator I'm Court
Defending Big Suit.


CHICAGO, May -Ex-United States
Senator d. M. Sabin, OF Minnesota, sat
in Judge Gresham's court this morning
with an amused smile on his face as he
listened to Lawyer Flowers statement
of the alleged facts in big suit against
Mr.. Sabin begun by II. II. Porter, a
Minnesota railroad man. The suit
is to recover 100000. Several years
ago Mr. Sabin was member
of the firm of Seymour, Sabin &
Co.. manufacturers of railroad cars.
The business was extensive, but the
firm desired to enlarge its plant, and in
vited additional capital to join with
them to form the Northwestern Manu-
featuring and Car company, with cap
ital of something like S3.000,000. On the
representation of Senator Sabin Mr..
Porter invested 100000. and he claims
the liabilities of the old concern were
not honestly represented to him. He
found, he alleges, that the indebtedness
was nearly the amount of the capital
stock, and thus his $1,000 proved very
poor investment.

TRIAL OF MRS. MARION.
Herself and Paramour in the Box
at keOkuk.

KEoKUK, To-, Msy 26.-The trial of
Joseph Bean and Josephine Marion for
the murder of the latter's husband be-
gan in the district court to-day. The.
case was called only as to Mrs. Marion
alone. Beams case is TO be heard later.
Most of the day was occupied in getting
a jury. The principal witness exam
ined was DR.. Haines, the Chi
cago chemist who analyzed the
stomach of the deceased. The
murdered man died shortly after
eating piece of pie given him by the
wife last September, the indications
then pointing to poisoning, the stomach.

contain large quantities of strychnine.
In October Mrs. Marion and Joseph
Bean were arrested for the crime. In
December the grand jury returned in-
dictmentS against them of murder in
the first degree. Great interest has
been taken in the case and eminent
counsel employed on both sides. The
trial will probably last week.

the field of instructions in the proper
military tactics to be used in the sup
preston of civil disorder, to elucidate.
compare and condemn social, political
and economic doctrines, he exceeded
his proper function. The secretary
promises the committee that the
charges should have proper considera-

INSPIRATION.
Denial That Rockefeller Has ANY
Theory to AdVance


CHICAGO, May 26.-Rev. F. F. Gates,
secretary of the American Baptist Edu-
cational society, which founded the
University of Chicago, denies the truth
of the statement that Mr.. Rockefeller
had come to an understanding in regard
to the theory of inspiration to be taught
in the university. Theories of in
spiration," said he this evening,
''do not belong to the uniyer-
sity proper, but to the di-
yinity school. which is controlled by
separate board of trustees, and is pre-
sided over by President George w.
Northrup, who for thirty years has been
a theological instructor in the Baptist
denomination. Mr.. Rockefeller has an
nounced no theories of inspiration and
indorsed none. He has made no state
ment of any kind on the subject, nor
was any conference arranged or held
between DR.. Harper, DR.. Briggs or Mr..
Rockefeller either in Chicago or else

The Cook County Board in Court
on Internal Discussions.

CHICAGO, May 26.-The members of
the board of county commissioners were
summoned and gave testimony before
the grand jury to-day. There is much
speculation as to the ultimate object of
the inquiry. 1t is known that there
are two factions in the board, and the
supposition is that one faction has in
stigated the investigation into the do
ings of the other in the letting of GER
tain contracts which have been the sub
ject of public criticism. So far the ex-
animation has been confined to inquIr-
les as TO the alleged incompetence and
favoritism on the part of the county ar
chitect.

Hero Arc Two That Pay Better Than Law
Medicine.
In discussions and articles on s'The
Choice of Profession" two of the most
lucrative professions of all have gener-
ally been forgotten. These are the pro-
fessions of a jockey and ''strong man"
At a festive meeting, viz, the annual
dinner of the Jimcrack club, a former
steward of the Jockey club said: Ceases
now exist where n jockey receives sal
ary equal to that of secretary of state,
and jockeys even of the second rank re-
ceive, L think, payments which place
them in a position, from a financial
point of view, considerably ahead, I
may say, of the bulk of their employ
ers.''
Besides these salaries Tor retainers, as
they are called) the jockeys receive the
authorized and regular riding fees, and
it is no exaggeration, affirms the Pail
Mall Gazette, to say that at the present
moment at least half a dozen of them
are earning, in connection with their
riding, in the shape of retainers, riding
fees and presents, e5,o 900 year apiece,
and in one or two cases even more.
With reference to the earnings of
<'strong men," Sandow is reported to
have said, in connection with the con-
test in which he took part recently,
that by his defeat he lost more than
Ed, 900, the savings of only two years.
If these statements are facts, and there
is no reason to doubt that they are,
we need not wonder at the large num-
Der of would-be 'strong men" and lock-
eys.

word imagination should be eliminated
from the dictionary; it means nothing"
imagination is ideality," remarked
his companion. sit deals in images of
the mind. These images are distinct
mental shapes; therefore they are
things. The world would be a barren
place if there were no imagination.
Therefore, I say, imagination is a
good word. 1t must remain in any COM
plcte dictionary"
The dispute began to wax noisy. just
then the proprietor happened along.
His imagination began to work. II

the champion of imagination, as sig

That mans remark proves it,"
And his companion simply remarked:
