Test Case Decision.

The City OF Pullman,
Appellant, No. 1887.
j. A. Hungate and Eliza os 1904
beth Hungate,
Respondents.
But a single question is raised by the
record in this case, and argued in the
briefs OF the respective parties, and that
is as to whether or not the City OF Pull
man is legal municipal incorporation.
1t was originally incorporated under the
law OF February I'd, 1888, and an at
tempt was made to re-incorporate under
the provisions Of Sec. 4 of the Act OF
March 9th, 1890. The said act OF 1888
was declared unconstitutional by this
court in the case of the Territory VS..
Stewart | WASH 9S. And in the case OF
the Town OF Denver vs.. City OF Spokane
Falls, 81 Pac. Rep. 926, it was further
held that attempted interpretations under
said act could re-incorporate under the
act OF March 9th, 1890, for the reason,
that SO much of said act at attempted to
confer such right was unconstitutional.
1t is claimed on the part OF the re-
spondents that these two decisions are
decisive OF the question involved in this
appeal Their contention in that regard
must be sustained unless the situation
has been changed by the act OF March
eth, 1898, legalizing the incorporation,
or re-incorporation of cities and towns.
Appellant contends that it appears from
this act that it was the intent OF the leg
islature to legalize all bodies which had
incorporated or re-incorporated, or at
tempted to incorporate, or re-incorporate
under the provisions of the act of March
%. 1890, and constituting all the language
OF said act in the light OF the circum-
stances surrounding its enactment such
must be the construction. From which
il will follow that said act can have force
under our constitution, cities like the
one under consideration have been there
by transformed into organized bodies
corporate.
1t is claimed on the part OF the re-
spondents, that if this act be construed
to apply to the attempt OF cities incor-
porated under the act OF 1898 to incor-
porate or re-incorporate, it will be un-
constitutional, for the reasons ASST gne

The FortnlghtIy Club.

The papers presented and discussed
ia the Fortnightly Club since beginning
the study OF Romola have been as fol-
lows:
Geographical Sketch; George Eliot, "
Mrs. N. L. Van Doren; Influence of her
Works and Character" Mrs. A. NJ. Watt !;
"Historical: Flowers in the 10Th Cen
tury," Mrs. W. V. Windus; "The New
Learning" Miss Bessie Williams.
Mrs. Van Doren presented not only
the facts relating to the life OF Augusta
Evans and her surrounding associations
ank influences, but also gave interpreta-
tions concerning events OF the authors
life. This very greatly aided the mem
bers in gaining true insight into the
real nobility, womanliness and strength
of her character.
Mrs. Watts paper drew forth a gem
eral discussion OF George Eliot's works,
their telineation OF character and char
acters, and the intrinsic and relative val
ue in the world of literature OF her writ
ings in general.
Mrs. Windus pointed out the historic
accuracy and true delineation OF the real
characters OF the time that Geoage Eliot
has given us in Romola, with additional
light upon the events then transpiring.
Miss Williams paper was followed by
general and interesting discussihn con-
cerning the Renaissance and its spread
ing influence upon the politics, COM
merce and life of the time.
During the business session OF the
meeting held at the home OF Mrs. Bryan,
March Both, the following officers were
elected, their term OF Office to begin in
September: President, Mrs. N. l.. Van
Doren vice president and treasurer, Mrs.
Wallis; secretary, Mrs. Helen A. Full
mer.
At the close of the meeting held last
Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs.

member be requested to suggest at the
next meeting one or more books for

uoni at present there is nothing 80 for-

uneaslness on this score, the conditions

gether so favorable as Is sometimes sug-
gested. The special efforts Of the gov
ernment in lending the farmers money
ETC., are due it would seem rather IN
anxiety to sustain than to enlarge the
wheat industry to any considerable ex-
tent. AS to France, her wheat yield 1s
doubtless at the maximum now: bnt
little interest attaches to her AZ a nos
sible exporter for her importations of
wheat, notwithstanding her own enor-
nous crop, exceed annually the total
wheat crop OF the state Of California.
These facts make it plan that il the
term supply be used in itsabsolute sense
there is not an overproducton OF wheat.
If the term be used in its relative sense
rs measured by the market requirements
there might be an overproduetion, al
though the supply should not increase.
There is no perceptible cause to curtail
the demand. On ths contrary, the exis-
terce OF growing demand must be as
sumed to account for the expansion of
the wheat industry to its present dimen-
sions, at which it has remained Iirm and
steady for ten years or more. The yari-
Gus uses to which wheat is being de-
voted enlarge the scope and volume Of
its consumption, while the wheat-con-
suming population OF the world is in
creasing, Amy local or temporary cur
taEment OF demand for the grain it
seems would be quite offset by the gem
eral and permanent needs it is required
to supply.
The population OF the United States
increased 100000 from 1880 to 1890,
during which time, without any notable
increase in the wheat crop, our exports
OF this grain scaled down from 81 to 26
per cent. OF the total annual yield. II
our population should increase at nor
NAL rate for ten or fifteen years, and our
wheat crop should not increase in the
meanwhile, we would then require all
our own product for home consumption.
The number OF people abroad to whom
wheat is staple article OF food has been
likewise increasing, though, perhaps,
not so rapidly as in the United States
Great Britain by reason OF increase in
population and a continuous Shrlnkage
in home production is constantly de-
manding a larger importation. Her re-
ceipts of wheat from the United States
alone increased gradually in four years
up to 1892 by upwards OF 100000 vush-
els.
At this point it might be well to offer
the following statistics from th' London
Miller. 1t strikes balance between
the average available supply and the or
dinary demand. The computation is an
estimate which accords with others OF
like character as summary IN gross
figures:

Ermine Coming in Fashion.

Fashion eXerts considerable influence
on the fur market, as any one can un-
derstand who observes how sealsRin
Jackets come and go in feminine favor.
A most striking example occurred in
the case of crmine fur For many
wears this beautiful fur was quite out
of favor; nobody wore it, nobody asked
for it, and by and by the skins practi-
cally disappeared from the market.
Then, year or two ago, demand for
ermine mysteriously sprang up and
began to grow. The fur merchants,
looking about for supplies, saw none
coming forward. and, of course, the
price stiffened. The Chinese, who in
former years used to supply nearly all
the ermine sent to London were asked
why they they did not now send on
skins. Their reply was that they had
long ago given up catching them, be-
cause they were unstable when sent
to market But they set to work anew,
and at the spring sales this year 10, 900
skins were received and sold at double
us much as they would have brought a
year ago, and probably considerable
less than they will bring year hence,
if fashion keeps this skin in favor over

EYES AND EYE DOCTORS.
How Science Has Helped to Improve De-
fective Vision.

i fective Vision.
! In no branch of surgical science has
more progress been made of late wears
than in that which concerns itself with
( the eye. Within the memory of men
now living persons with defective vision
were divided into myops or short
z sighted people and hypermetrops or
| long-sighted people, and for the former
concave spectacles were devised which
threw the focus of vision back, while
for the latter convex spectacles brought
the focus in front of the retina 1t was
assumed that the only difference in
these two forms of visual disturbance
were differences of degree, and when
THE half-b blind person could by a violent
effort read through the spectacles
which the Optician rendered him he
was supposed to have got all the relief
which science could furnish him. Sci
ence has now done for the eve what
specialists are trying to do for the
nerves. 1t has diagnosed a variety of
ailments which were unknown to our
fathers, and for these it is busily en-
gagged in devising remedies. The hui
man eye, when studied under the micro
scope and in accordance with the laws
of optics, is found to be one of the
r st imperfect organs in the body.

GEOLOGICAL SCIENCE.
The Value of This Branch of Study to
Mankind.

Although the advancement of geo
logical science and it's present great
share in human aft airs is mainly due to
the measure in which it is known to
help men in their practical dealings
with the earth, we must not lose sight
of the vast, and, from high point of
view, the most important part of it's
work, that which has come from the
better knowledge of mans place in ma
ture which it has afforded. With the
ancients we find totally different con
ception as to mans relation to the uni
verse from that which is now held, and
on this difference depends a great and
most profitable alteration in the intel
lectual and moral conceptions which
we form concerning mans origin, duty
and destiny OF old our kind seemed
to be a mere accident with no more
historic relation to the planet than the
meteor which falls from the sky. In
this day, however, we qualify the con
ccption, we perceive that man is in his
body akin to all the life of the earth,
and that he has come forth from the
system of the sphere, even as have the
Janus which give Hllll uNcllIIS JldCts
The contributions to the thought of
the world due to geological science
have one eminent popularity which
gives them a unique value. In all
other branches OF natural inquiry the
student is practically compelled to deal
with phenomena on the plane of the
moment. He cannot, save in astronomy,
and there most imperfectly, distribute
the facts in the succession of the ages.
In word, geology is a time science, as
well as a space science. The students
of it must follow through the cons of
the past, the succession of events in
substan TALLY the manner in which the
embryologist traces the brief series
which he observes in the development
of a germ.
In the time to come when we have
learned how to avail ourselves of the
teaching resources afforded by the
physical sciences, this feature in geol-
ogy will be valued in the true measure
of its worth. Prof. n. S. Shaler, Sc.
d., in ChautauQuan.
