An English dramatist in one of his
works represents a man in a dream
talking with several of his departed
ancestors. One of these told the man
that he was in hell, though there was
no such place as heaven or hell in the
way in which these terms were COM
monty understood. This mans hell
was a condition of feeling in which
he had no interest in anything. He
felt no enjoyment, no ambition, no
pleasure, no passions, no desires. He
could go to heaven, he said. If he
liked, but he had no desire. He was
not interested i'll anything he might
find there or anywhere else.
This condition is to a certain ex-
tent exemplitied in club life, in socie-
ty and i'll the general lives of the rich
and idle. They have exhausted every
source OF enjoyment and tapped all
fountains of enthusiasm. New
schemes have to be constantly pro
Vlded to stimulate even a little their
appetite for pleasure. He'll, accord
ing to this writer, is this condition
carried to it, extremity. 1t is a con-
dltlOn without hope, feeling, ambi-
ton or deSlJeS-One Of the most hOr-
l1ble states IN which any man or
woman could be placed.

WASHINGTON, May 2s-Resolutions to

that the Russian government has denied
admission TO that country Of Rabbi kraus-
kopf, an eminent Hebrew ecclesiastic. of
Philadelphia, and that this action by Russia
is a breach of the treaty which gives Amer

zens are admitted to this country. The
resolution will direct the State Department

observance of the treaty and. in case of a
refusal, will direct the severance of all

that Secretary Gresham should notify the

BLOW At FEDERAL COURTS.
House Bill That Limits the Powers
of United States Judges.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Something of a
controversy over the state sovereignty
question has been stirred up in the House
judiciary committee over a bill introduced
by Representative Dearmond, of Missouri,
TO define the duties of federal courts regard
ing contempts. which provides that State.
county or city officers shall Ist be punished
for refusal TO collect taxes or asses meats
under judgments rendered by federal courts
against States, counties or cities. where the
levying of such taxes or assessments shall
be contrary to the avs of the State as
construed by it's highest courts. The bill
has been favorably reported from the COM
mittee. Representative WolvertOn. in the
report giving the views of the majority.
explains that IL is intended to prevent a
federal court from overriding the laws of
ehat State by compelling a State officer TO
violate them. In many OF the States, it Is
explained, there is a limit TO the INDEBTED
ness which may be contracted or collected
without the consent OF the people, therefore
judgments beyond a certain amount could
not be secured through State courts and the
federal courts are sometimes reSorted TO.
The minority report is drawn by II pre-
sentative Ray. and signed by Messrs. Ray.
report characterizes the measure as objec-
tionable, vicious and uncatriotic, one that
strikes a blow at good government, and
would deprive the judicial department OF
the power to enforce its DEGREES and nullify
the purpose for which il was established.
1t is characterized as an effort TO revive
the exploded doctrine OF State sovereignty.

Dwyer Released.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, May 2S.-Philip j.
Dwyer, who was held for the grand jury
on a charge of maintaining a lottery, and
whose case was brought before Judge Gay
nor In the Supreme Court on a writ of
habeas corpus, last week, was to-day dis
charged on the ground that his arrest was
illegal under the Ives law. The judge, in
his decision, says: There is no foundation
for the contention that horse racing is a
lottery. 1t is not a lottery, either in COM
mon speech or within legal definition. A
lottery depends on a lot or chance, such as
the casting of lots, throwing of dice or the
turning Of a wheel. In the scheme of this
race, horse owners do not pay a sum TO
win a larger sum by lot or chance, but in
order to enter into the contest of SKILL, en-
durance and speed upon which the stake de-

moral question, / have nothing TO do. L

ture having specifically signaled out racing
for stakes and made it {. distinct crime,
and prescribed a punishment for liz, TX can
not be called some other crime and punished
as such. Racing horses for stakes may be
bad, but unlawful arrests are worse. The
arrest and detention of defendant was I'M
warranted. 1t was an exercise of arbitrary
power, and history teaches that we have
more to fear from arbitrary power than
from all species of gambling combined.
