Justice McCabe concurs in the opinion In

of there being plurality of subjects Of
legislation embraced therein and he also
concurs in the prevailing opinion as 10 the
duty OF courts to resolve doubts as to the
cOnstitutionality of a statute in favor OF its
constitutionality. He cannot, however, con-
cur in the balance of the opinion, and be-
lieves that, as in this case, when there Is
no doubt as to the unconstitutionality of an
act then the highest and most sacred duty

MADIsON's FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
Supreme Court Decision Allows 1t to
he Constructed.

The city Of Madison can now go ahead
and put in the Gamewell flre-alarm system,
the Supreme Court having decided yester-
day that the Jefferson Circuit Court was
correct in upholding the right Of that mu-
nicipality to expend 5000 for the apparatus.
Joseph T. Brashear and other citizens sued
In the Jefferson Circuit Court TO enjoin the
city from making the Improvement on the
ground that the constitutional provision
limiting taxation in cities to per cent. OF
the valuation of property would be violated
by the expenditure contemplated. A tempo
rary restraining order was granted but was
dissolved soon after by Judge F'riedley, of
the Circuit Court there, who sustained the
city'S demurrer This demurrer held that
the Legislature never passed the 2-per-cent.
law, claim that has already been referred
to at some length in these columns, and
which came up in the oral arguments in
this case some time ago. BraShear then
appealed 10 the Supreme Court and OBJ
tained another temporary restraining order,
which is, OF course, dissolved by yester-
days decision, which in substance holds
that there is already in the city treasury
in question On this point the court says:
"a municipal Indebtedness is not created
by contracting for something which the
Common Council has determined is neces-
sary for the welfare of the city, and by
agreeing TO pay for it out OF funds appro-
priated 10 that use and at the time In the
treasury, or provided for by taxes already
levied"
The court referring to the 2-per-cent-
amendment to the Constitution, the validity
of which was questioned in the suit, says:
''That article has now been In force and
unquestioned by anyone for over twelve
years. If we may go back twelve years to
consider such question, why may we not
60 back forty years TO the adoption of the
Constitution itself? . 1t IS to be re-
membered that 1t is the vote of the people,
and not the action of the Legislature that
gives vitality TO the Constitution and it's
amendments"

ANCIENT PHOTOGRAPHS.
A Collection Gathered From tho Tomb
of Egypt.

A Collection Gathered From tho Tombs
of Egypt.
A collection of portraits two thou
sand years old makes an interesting
exhibit, not only to art connoisseurs,
but to every body curious enough to
know what manner of men and women
once inhab bited this old earth. The
Theodor Graf collection of unique
Greek portraits, now hung at the Acad-
emy of Fine Art, gives for the first
time an idea of the work of the por-
trait painters of the second and third
centuries IL c.
These paintings were hot made for
the ''family galleries" of old Egyp-
tians, proud of their ancestors, but
were mummy faces" 1t was the an
cient Greek custom to represent the
ountenance of a dead person at the
head of mummy or coffin, somewhat
like the Indians of Peru, and in the
Greek-Roman epoch for the plastic
head with conventional features was
substituted a real portrait of the dead.
One entire face mummy" is shown
in this exhibit, brought, like the other
faces" from the cave cemetery of
Rubyat in Central Egypt Ages ago
thieves transacted this celebrated
metropolis throwing away these
painted panels upon the desert sands
The ninety-six exhibited in Crafts COL
lection are thin panels of wood, many
now cracked and SCARED, bearing the
faces of q few Egyptians, several
Syrians or Phoenicians and many fixed
features of that Greek epoch.
They mostly belong to the higher
classes, rs is evident in the abundant
jewels of the women, the golden
wreaths of the men, the ribbons. Pom
peiian like shoulder stripe and Isis but
tons, and even the Lock of Youth"
the ancient badge of the sons of the
Pharaohs. The colors have mellowed
like those of the old masterpieces, and
Rembrandt himself would not be
ashamed of the strength shown in the
best of them Some of the pictures
shown of the oval-faced Egyptians and
the dark, almond-eyed Jewesscs are
modern enough in spirit and treatment
to be upstairs with the sixty-third an
ual exhibit of the academy. The rich
coloring and delicate tints awakened
even Meissonier's admiration.
The collection reveals also in the
most interesting manner all the tech
nical expedients employed by the
ancients. They devised the art of
painting with variously-colored wax
and the process Of burning it in. It
has thus gained the name of ''encaustic
painting" The wax was put on by
means of a lancet-shaped cestrum or
spatula- A brush was used sometimes
as we'll as this craving tool, and there

The big man was just drunk enough
to be spelling for a fight That was
apparent to every one in the cafe. He
hadn't been there ten minutes before
he picked a quarrel with a man three
sizes smaller, who had been quietly
minding his own business in corner
of the room.
"Sir, you've insulted me-" exclaimed
the big man.
"You are mistaken" quietly respond
