THE OLEoMAR6ARISE DECISION
 The decision just given by the United
 States Supreme court in the oleomar.
 garine case Is certainly full of good
 sense and. for all we know. Is full Of
 law.
 The State of Massachusetts has law prohibiting the sale of any compound not produced from unadulterated milk or cream made in imitation of yellow butter. The law allows the sale of ole. omargarine as such. but prohibits its sale in such form as to give the pur- chaser the impression that it Is genuine butter. A Boston dealer named Plum ley undertook as the agent of a Chicago firm to sell in Massachusetts oleomar- garine which had been prepared and colored to initiate butter. He was tried and found guilty under the State law and the case was carried up through the State Supreme court to the Supreme court of the United States.
 Plumley's counsel contended that the State law was repugnant to various provisions of the national constitution, among others to the provision giving congress power to regulate commerce among the States. and to that forbid ding any State to make laws abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States He also contend ed that the State law was In conflict with the act of congress regulating the manufacture and sale of oleomarga- rine. The essence of this last conten- tion, 1t would seem, was not that the State law was in substance repugnant to the act of congress. but that con- gross had exclusive jurisdiction of the subject. and therefore the State had no right to legislate upon it.
 The Supreme court affirms the decis- ions of the Massachusetts State courts, which were that the State law is con- stitutional. Justice Harlan, In deliver ing the opinion of the court, says that the object of the State law Is to "sup- press false pretenses and promote fair dealing in the sale of an article of food" He holds that the constitution of the United States does not secure to any one right to make and sell an article of food in such a manner as to make purchasers believe they are buy ing something which, in fact, is wholly different from that which is offered for sale. He holds that the constitution does not forbid any State to protect its citizens against this kind of fraud by appropriate legislation. Justice Harlan refers to the celebrated Iowa liquor case, in which the court held that State could not, without the assent of congress, forbid the sale of liquors im- ported from other States so long as the liquors were in the original packages. He holds that this decision does not jus tify the contention that State cannot prevent the sale of articles brought from another State if their sale may cheat the people into buying something they do not intend to buy.
 So the constitution of the United States does not uphold fraud or deny to any State the right to protect it's citi- zens against fraud. It ought not to.

The Lord Mayors Feast.

lAiohi puC W cStlllusleI buuBtI.J
 As there will be some nine hundred banqueters sitting down to the feast in the Guildhall this evening, four thou sand oysters have been ordered to coax the nine hundred into good appetite at once. Twenty men have been kept busy for the best part of the day in opening these dainties. four of which, luscious and fragrant, are lying in their shells, on a small plate, before each guest as he takes his seat at ta- ble
 The turtle soup, the first piece de re- sistance, is coming next. Every one knows it, and every one expects the ap- pearance of the soup to be preceded by a good deal of bustling about of wait CTS. Also, those who know expect sad ly, and with a bitter pang, that the precious turtle soup will be luke-warm, and not, as all such soups ought to be, "hot as hell or love-" But there is charming surprise in store for all who thus sadly expect For they will be disappointed There is absolutely no rush; the walters remain behind their chairs, like statues whose eyes only can move and do move, till the myste- rious bell the sound of which is only understandable to 8 walters mind, is sounded twice in quick succession. Then life comes into the statues. But instead of hurrying and scurrying about to where, at dim distance, the soup has been ladled out, luke-warm, into luke-warm plates, they calmly ap proach the head walters stationed at either end of the tables, and from them receive, boiling hot" the nectar of the city feast.
 Messrs. Lyons & Co.,, in order to serve the soup quite hot, have caused a number of special spirit lamps to be made, over which the plated tureens, filled with turtle soup, are placed, be- fore the guests enter the hall. The chief reason is of course, to serve, the soup quite hot, but an additional req son is that, space being rather scarce even at the Guildhall, where nine hun dred portly banqueters are seated at table, it is very awkward for the wait CTS to have to hustle about with plates of soup. Awkward, also, one would im- agine, from the panpueters' point of view, with whose enjoyment of his natives" it must undoubtedly some what interfere to be conscious of the fact that at any moment the back of his festive raiment may receive a douche of turtle soup.
 For the special purpose of making the hundred gallons of turtle soup re- quired at the Guildhall on the evening, an army of thirty-two turtles arrived last week from the West Indies, and twenty-four of them have been caused to depart this life in order to heighten the glory of the great city banquet. After the soup, the fish; cold fish on this occasion, but not, therefore, to be despised. For such is the art of the kitchen chef that his creams and may onnaises, and jellies and salads give to the cold fish a delicacy as of the am- brosia of the gods. Five hundred lobs- ters and two hundred large soles have lived and died for the purpose of being incorporated" into city gentlemen on November g, 1894. i

FASHION NOTES.
Whats What in Small Hats.

It was prophesied not long ago that the next demonstration in millinery would be something in the Dutch head dress line. The newest theatre hat proves the truth of this. for it is wee affair that seems to be three f1llets of ribbon laid over the top of the head, the first near the forehead line, the next close to the snood of hair at the back and the third between. The three bands gather just above the ear and are there wound together in a big ros- ette-like knot from which fluttering ends hang to the tip of the ear. Three shades of ribbon are vsed; bluet, cerise and black being striking combination for a brunette, and pale blue, pale rose

The reasons given by the Boston school committee for the discontinuance of states, slate pencils and sponges in the public schools and the substitution of paper, lead pencils and rubber eras- CTS in their place are as follows: A light gray mark upon a slightly darker gray surface is more or less indistinct and trying to the eyesight. The resist ance of the hard pencil upon the hard slate is tiring to the muscles, and the resistance to which the muscles are thus trained must be overcome when be- ginning to write with pencil or pen upon paper. The use of states, slate pencils and sponges is a very uncleanly cus- tom, and leads to and establishes very uncleanly habits.

The Sultan of Turkey is one of the most hard-worked men in the Ottoman dominions. Rising at o'clock every morning, he devotes his days in the se- clusion of the Yildiz palace and gar- dens to personal attention to all the affairs of state laid before him by his ministers. He is of slight figure. A pale brown overcoat conceals any dec orations he might be wearing, so that the attention of those who see him on the one day in seven when he presents himself to the view of the people is not diverted from his pale, wan and care worn face, half covered by thin brown beard tinged with gray, and surmount- ed by g plain red fez. The Sultan has been the means of establishing 5o0oo schools throughout the empire, not only for boys, but for girls also. which is a striking departure from the traditional ilsaGe- of his race .

1t VIII Create Rsvonuos Amounting to
1881, 100000
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The esti-
mates Of the amount of the revenue the
bill reported to the senate will probably
show that the total amount will be
about 1881, ,000, 900. This Is q reduction
Of $13,OO0,O0O to $14,OO0,00O from the
estimates in the first bill reported to the
committee. The principal reduction is
made in the internal revenue part of the
bill through the restoration of the pree-
ent rates on domestic cigars and cigar
cites, which amounts to a loss OF over
$4,000. 900. There will also be
falling off on tin plates,
caused by changing the duty on
that importation from lib cents to l
cent q pound. The change in the fruit
schedule, whereby bananas, pineapples
and cocoanuts are taken from the duti-
able list. will make up the other princi-
pal items of loss. AS the bill stands,
it will produce at least $50, 600, 600 more
OF revenue than will be needed. The
change made in the sugar schedule
will not cause a showing in the estimates
different from the subcommittee bill,
as the frat estimate was made upon
sugar testing 80 degrees fine.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The presi-
dent lie carefully listening to the argu-
ments, political and otherwise, ad-
dressed to him regarding the seigniorage
bill. The best information attainable ia
that he has not yet made up his mind
what action to take. Messrs. Tracey,
Dunphy and other anti-silver congress-
men, say they believe he will veto it.
On the other hand the Democratic
senators who voted for the bill are gen.
orally very hopeful that the president
will Sign it. The message which the
president sent to the New York delega-
tion advising them not to come to Wash
ington, they think indicates that he has
decided to approve the bill and does not
think it necessary to argue the point,

New Workers themselves. The presi-
dent has until the Both to decide what
he shall do with the bill.
