The United States Supreme Court
has just decided case of great in
terest to railroad companies. The
case was taken up from Ohio, and
the facts were briefly these: One
of the employees, perhaps an engi-
neer, did not pay attention to orders
and a collision resulted, in which a
brakeman received permanent in
juries. He brought suit in the State
court against the Company for
damages, and recovered verdict.
The Company appealed the case,
and the Q. S. Supreme court has
decided that the injury was the re-
suit of the negligence of a fellow
employee, and the company cannot
be held liable. The judgment was
reversed, and the case sent back
with orders to the lower court to
proceed in accordance with this
opinion. This opinion is contrary
to the statutes of Ohio, but was de-
-claEed by the Supreme court to be
general law" ChiefJustice Fuller
and Justice Field, dissented.
The opinion only relates to suits
for damage brought by employees,
and could not of course affect the
question when the plaintiff was any
other than an employe.-jSentinel.

The Treasury SItuation.

The gold furry is over for the
present, and, with confidence re-
stored by the administration time
ly utterance and consequently
improving money market, it is not
likely to recur for some time.
But the currency scare is not the
only, nor the most serious condition
that confronts the Treasury. For
the past month the governments
expenditures have been some five
millions greater than its receipts.
The drain of over thirteen and a
half millions a month for pensions is
the immediate cause of the deple-
ton, though the chief and underly-
ing reason why the governments
expenditures are now greater than
its receipts is the fact that the
Treasury was emptied by the last
Republican Congress for the very
purpose of preventing a reduction
of revenue-and the scheme was
carried too far. Reed, Mckinley & Co.
not only appropriated all the gov
ernment's income but mortgaged
the principal. Hence the cash bal
nee beyond the gold reserve is fast
approaching zero, and still the
Treasury is compelled to use its gold
to buy useless silver bullion without
means of repIensishing its stock.
Thus there must continue to be a
constant struggle of the Treasury
to meet its obligations without in
creasing the public debt, until Con-
gress shall give the needed relief by
repeating the Sherman act.
Meanwhile, the country must de-
pend on the good judgment and
management of the administration
to keep its credit secure.-Register.

Harrison is Working On.
NEW York, May s.-The Herald's
special from Paris says:
From authentic information, it would
appear that the pope is preparing an
encyclical to the European govern
ments, setting forth the inevitable
crisis to which the crushing military
charges condemn them. He will call
the attention of the, governments to
the necessity of introducing the idea of
pacifcation into their general policy as
well as the appeasement of the anger of
the working classes consequent upon
their misery.
His holiness will ask for resolution
of the question of disarmament prob
ably by an encycical, which may be
the result of an agreement come TO in
his interview with the emperor OF Ger
many.
The governments of Italy, Austria,
Spain, Belgium and Russia are said to
be already informed of the agreement
referred to above. and are willing to ac-
serves, but intends, it is believed. to adj
here to the general decision, in which
case she would be charged with the
mission of bringing pressure upon
France to induce her to Join the other
nations.
In this connection it is interesting to
recall the statement of Senator Stan
ford, thatex-President Harrison elected
professor in the Leland Stanford uni
versity of California, is preparing a
code of international law to be submit
ted for consideration and adoption,
after amendment, by the civilized ma
tons of the world. This code is to be
the law of an international court to de-
eide all disputes, and thus tend to do
away with war. The encyclical of the
pope and the letters of the ex-president,
If they effect their purposes, will be the
grandest achievements of the close of

Hoke Smith was born Sept. 2, 1855, at
Newton, N. C. His father was a college
professor, recently from New Hampshire,
and his mother was as a maiden Mary
Brent Hoke Of the family famous for ju-
rists and soldiers In the south. The son
was QUITE a precocious youth, studied law
in boyhood and was admitted to the bar in
Atlanta in 1878, being at the time not quite
IS years old. He entered on the practice of
his profession at once and had several i'm
portant cases before coming of age. He had
reached Atlanta in 1872, no n knowing
much of his previous life. and as he was
very large and manly looking the question
Of age was not raised.
He was an active Democrat from the
start and very soon a leader of the so called
young set,n consisting of men who have
attained their majority since the war. In
June, 1887, he organized and became presf-
dent of the Atlanta Evening Journal COM
pany, and underh his management it has pros
pered wonderfully. He combines extraordi-
nary enterprise with sagacity and prudence,
all this attestod by the factthat in 20 years,
after react . Atlanta without capital or
influential luaintances, be is a leading
lawyer with ! practice worth $20,0OOa year,
a large real estate owner, head of a great
newspaper firm and now prospective secre-
tary Of the interior. He married the young
est daughter of General 7. r. R. Cobb, who
is a neice Of the famous Howell Cobb.

COOKIES MADE EASY.

The Minimum Expenditure of Time,
Money and Labor.
Here is what q writer in the New York
Christian Union calls a perfect recipe for
making cookies, requiring no unneces-
sary expenditure of money, time or Ia
Dor, no board, no rolling pin, M cutter:
Put into the mixing bowl 2 cups of sug-
ar Il of ~granulated ano of O., with a
good half cupful Of butter, 2 level tea
spoonfuls of cinnamon, less than half a
teaspoonfu1 of cloves and the half of a
small nutmeg. Cream these together az
carefully as if for pound cake and then
add 3 well beaten eggs. Beat these in
well and pour in half a coffee cupful of
milk. Stir well.
Next sift in the flour, beginning with
1 pint, and . slightly heaping teaspoon
fuls of baking powder. Add more -four
very carefully as you beat. If you
get the least bit too much -four, the
cakes will be fit only to send to the mis-
sionaries. You will have to experiment
here, as no sure rule can be given. You
will soon learnljust the right degree of
sickness, for sticky the dough must be.
Never mind if your hands do get all
stuck up. Wash them off and go at it
again. When you get it SO that it can
be handled, rub your hands with lard
and take with a silver spoon avery small
piece of the dough and shape it into a
ball between your palms. No toss it
into a half cup of granulated sugar and
shake briskly till the ball is well coated,
then place on the well creased baking
sheet.
The little balls must be placed some
distance apart, as they spread themselves
out into full fedged cookies in the bak-
ing. The oven must be moderate, and
the cakes must be placed on the floor of
it first, or they will puff up into cones
instead Of fattening out into cookies.
Don't, I imp1ore, bake them too much.
They need be only a very pale brown.
Then take them out and pack away at
once, between napkins, in a jar or cake
box.
Run a thin, broad knife under them
to loosen them from the pan, and they
will not break.
They ought to com from the oven
spicy and sparkling and cracked all over,
like macaroons.
