United States Supreme Court Denies
His ADppaI

The supreme court at Washington, d. C.,
in an opinion read by Justice Brewster de-
MED the motion Tor writ of habeas corpus
filed by Debs and his associates of the rail-
way union, and they will have to serve the
sentences imposed upon them by the court.
The cases, it will be remembered, arose in the
U. s. circuit court Of the northern district OF
Illinois. Debs and others disobeyedthe order
OF the court enjoining them from further in
reference with Interstate commerce and the
carrying OF the L. s. mails.
They we're brought before the court for
contempt. and sentenced to from three to six
months Imprisonment. The cases were
brought before the supreme court on mo-
tion for leave to file petition for writ OF
habeas corpus, which was fully argued by
Debs counsel on the one side and Atty. Gen.
Olney on the other. The decision sustains
the sation of the court below.

The echoes, fast Il wing ont, from the
career, hamboyant and peculiar of the
late Mrs parnn Stevens, are odd, to
say the least. Her furniture and brio
a-brac were, with very slight excep-
ton, himsy, inexpensive, and of no
earthly use. Much interest WAS felt
in the supposed contents of her wine
cellar at Newport, and dealers who
had been impressed by the majesty Of
her demeanor, and the repute of her
hospitality, anticipated keen rivalry
among those who desired to divide
her bottles between them. Inyestiga-
ton showed that her whole outfit was
not worth $50, there being lament

1t is Il curious fact that the great
enterprises of our town when COM
plctcd nre rarely of sufficient size to
accomplish the purpOs' designed. As
illustration take the Grand Central
Depot, tine elevated railroad system
MT the b B'ookiyn Bri dge. When the
station was first proposed the press
and public united in ridiculing the
Nanderbilts for going so far uptown,
and very generally condemned them
also for the utterly useless size of the
projected building. Look at it now.
Even with its great annex it is utterly
inadequate for the public necessities.
Had the projectors Of the elevated
structures been possessed Of the faint
est conception o. the marvellous pat
ronage to follow the enterprise, rs
matter OF course, there would have
been not only three but four
tracks. As il is, men, women and
children fight for footholds coming
down and going mp. The trains
are dangcrullslN oN"ri0den, ana tran
st is like that of the turtle to the hare
when compared to that We need.
When the Brooklyn Bridge was first
projected, Murphy, Kingsley and the
RDrblings were laughed at because
their idea contemplated two roadways,
one over and one back. We see now
the utter inadrquacy of the railway
accommodation upon the bridge, and
recognize the necessity which has
compelled the trustees to make Il long
needed enlargement OF the driveways
at either end. II further illustration
were needed We could point to the
grotesque Federal Building, which
improperly occupies II much needed
section of the peoples pleasure
ground, ailording accommodations
which are lamentably insufficient to
