TIiN. UNITED STATES COURT
The Tables Turned Against Prosecute .
inw Witnesses.

One Of the cases brought up for trial
in the United States court mt Columbia
on Friday terminated in somewhat
novcj and unexpected manner. Robert
Smallcy, II young Georgia negro, who
haas been living in Edgcticld since last
auring. wus under Indictment for writ
ing and mailing an obscene letter to
negro named Elclcrt Pcmcrton. Two
witnesses, Richard and Dink Xeiglcr,
sworc that they saw Smnlley write the
letter to Pemcrton and one OF them
that he muilcd it for Smalicy at Trenton
post pilicS.
When Small;y, who had no counsel,
wn4 nut on the stand, he denied having
written the letter or having any knowl
edge "f it whatever. Judge Rrnwley
had u sheet OF paper handed to him and
made him write u number OF words
selected NJ random from the letter and
also the address on the back of the
| envelope. The Same test was applied
to Richard Neiglcr and it was SO APP
| parent to the court that this fellow and
not Sma!lcy had written the letter that
his honor instructed the jury to acquit
! the man on trial, and the two Icig Ter
brothers were placed ut once under
arrest, one on the charge Of forgery
and perjury md the other on the
charge of perjury. Thus the tables
were turned and the two young rascals
who tried to pat up such job on nm
innocent victim will probably get the
puuis hmcut they rightly deserve.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has hand | down decision in
a. +. Mcdowell vs. United States, an
appeal from South Carolina. Between
the dates of the appointment of Judge
brawlcy and his qualification as Judge
the February term of tho District
Court at Greenville began. Judge
Simonton, as Circuit Judge, designated
Judge Seymour, District Judge of the
Eastern District OF North Carolina, to
hold the Court. This Judge Seymour
did for two weeks. Whilst he was
presiding the grand jury was organized
This grand jury found true bill
against Mcdowell for violation of the
postal laws. Judge Brawley having
qualified relieved Judge Seymour. and
among other cases, tried the case of
Mcdowell before the petit jury. He
was convicted and appealed 70 the Cir
cult Court Of Appeals. His ground
was that, ms the Office OF District Judge
OF South Carolina was vacant when
Judge Simonton designated Judge
Seymour, his action was invalid and
Judge Seymour could not lawfully
hold tho Court; that the laws OF the
United States permit such designation
only when the Judge Is sick or absent
or otherwise unable to hold the Court
1t being m entirely new question the
Circuit Court OF Appeals certified the
case to the Supreme Court and the SUI

 In Salt Lake City they name streets as nowhere else on earth. For general confusion to newcomer no other sys- tenn equals 1t. In the long run it has it's advantages, for it not only guides you to any street with pomp and ceremony. but it sharpens your hearing and encour- ages mental concentration. The street system of Salt Lake originates at Tenn pie square, wherein stand the taber- nacle, the general assembly hall and the temple which was 80 years in building.

The Prejudice Against sleep.

The last word Oh the sleep discuss
sion seems to have been spoken. Its
appears that, after, all, the sleep slug
gard is very rare being. 1t is time
chat people were becoming sensible
on the subject. The popular preju-
dice against sleep works an indnity;
of mischief. The tendency Of theseius;
Gated is to wakefulness. and the man
who does intellectual work and exhi-
bits what his friends think a disnosi-
ton to oversleep. is obeying healthy
instinct. Sleep rccuperates him and.
he knows it, The popular notion TINT
Il young man who works with his
head, yet sleeps for nine hours, ISL ~
sluggard, is popular nonsense. No
man whose brain is active and who
does not drink ever sleeps more th4n
is good for him and the cure, if he
seems to do it, is TO let him sleep till
he gives the habit up. Sleep is az de-
light until yeu have had enougllsOf it.| itt
but five minutes beyond that point;
it becomes a bore. Nobody sleeps
twice around the clock, or even once,
unless impelled thereto consciously
or unconsciously by eXhaustion, for
which. again, sleep itself is the best
and the most natural remedy. The
contrary idea has arisen there is good
reason for believing purely from sell
fishncss. Many people of mature
years have u lively recollection Of the
diligence With which they were rout-
cd out Of their youthful bed, and they
resent the idea Of pampering. the
younger generation, besides objeeting

household upsctting which. arises

BILIOUSNEss DEFINED.

Pronounced Something Different
From What Has Been Supposed.
1t is impossible to alter the English
language for the sake Of ilss,lring
pathological accuracy, and however
erroneous may be the idea conveyed,
the phrase "bilious attack stands as
representing q group Of symptoms
which are popularity supposed to point
to disordered liver as their origin. 1t
is important, however, not to be mis-
led by such phrase0logy. Confident
as the man in the street may be in the
efficacy of his liver as the cause Of all
his woes, we know, and ought to act
upon the knowledge, that in so-called
'biliousness'' or "bilious attacks the
liver is only a secondary sufferer. In
lecture by DR.. Saunby, recently pub
lished in the Clinical Journal, it Is
emphatically asserted that an ordinary
bilious attack is really an attack OF
catarrhal inflammation Of the stom-
ach and duodenum. Perhaps we
should feel inclined to lay more en-
phasis than he does on the import
ance of neurotic element and the ne
cessity, and even the difficulty, OF
ditferentiating from pure gastro-duo-
denal catarrh cases of migrainc or OF
gastric neuralgia. 1t is clear enough
to those who see much of such cases
! that no strict line of demarkation can
be always drawn. 1t thus often enough
occurs that, even in obviously neurotic
ailments, the traditional blue pill and
saline are found of service; not that
| they cure the neurosos, but that they
relieve the super-added Inflammation.
| Still it must be recognized that "bil-
! itusness' and "bilious attack" are re-
lated to stomach and duodcnum and
not to liver, and that in their casua-
ton there is no intlammatoly element
which must be considered in their
treatment. If we look on "bilious-
| ness" as due to "torpid liver" which
requires stimulating, we land our
selves in the fogs Of some of the most
disputed points in therapeutics; but If
we accept what physiological path
ology teaches, viz, that it is the result
of an infammatory change in the mu-
cous lining Of the stomach and duo
denum, the treatment becomes plain.

"Oh, we'll, Of course it's nothing to

The clerk made no reply but got the

Then the customer walked out and

his forehead but he asked no more
