A Chicago special says: Prender-
CAST, the assassin, has scored another
point. His insanity hearing has been
postponed until May q and the date
of execution has been set for July 2.
The state said it was not ready to &c
on with the case. The states attor-
ney doubted that Judge Chetlain had
authority to act in the premises, and
to set this point at rest it would be
necessary to hunt up authorities,
which would consume great deal of
time. Therefore, the state asked that
the date for the insanity trial be set
for some time in May. This PROPOSE.
ton suited the defense, and the time
was extended by consent of both
sides.

According to Ward McAllister, the
reputed leader of New York society,
the reason why American heiresses
marry foreigners is that American
youths are too busy to marry them.
Coming from SO eminent authority
this dictum, thinks the Atlanta Con-
stitution, will be received gratefully by
gilded youth who fill out the weary
hours in club windows on parade and
who perhaps had begun to suspect
clearly that American heiresses have
the shrewdness 10 choose tho real arti-
Gle to the imitation in exchange for
their money.

COURTS MUST OBEY RULES.

Important Decision hy the Court OF Al.
Pcals in the Sturgis.Hancoek Case.
The court Of appeals yesterday decided a
case quito out OF the ordinary. The amount
involved was less than 100, 5uJ an anueal
was taken from the decision of Judge Nc
Comas on the ground that the circuit court
lacked jurisdiction under the circumstances
the only ground upon which an appeal would
lie Tor so small an amount.
It was IN the case Of John N. Sturgis against
Frank l.. Hancock. Hancock sued Sturgis
IN "a magistrate court. and upon a decision
against him took the case TO the circuit court
Sturgis mad under the rule ten days in which
to appear and defend the case. tut four davs
before the term had expired the SUIT was
called and judgment by default entered
against SturgIs.
Within the required ten days Sturgis ap-
peared and tried 10 have the Judgment
against him set aside This was refused. and
by j.. Altheus Johnson, as attorney. Sturgis
took an appeal.
Judge Alvey delivered the opinion of the
court reversing the lower court and remand
ing the cause. He said the statutes and rules
provided for the courts must be observed
otherwise the jurisdiction OF the cour is
lmproyidenuy and unwarrantably exercised
and the judgment without legal effect. In
this case ten days was allowed by the rule for
5-urgis 10 answer, but the court only allowed
six. thereby violating the rule. Therefore the
appeal was allowed.
The legal maxim is that every party must
be given an opportunity to toe heard. He
must not be risled by the process Of the
court so as TO be deprived OF his right. But
in this case Sturgis was so misled. He was
served with notice on april 4. 1884, and he
time for his appearance was fixed by the rule.
