THE DEBS CASE.
Attorney General olney's Argu-

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The hearing
on the application of Eugene V. DebS and
others for a writ of habeaS corpus for
their release from imprisonment was re-
Sumed promptly on the opening OF the
Supreme Court of the United States
today. Attorney General OIney made
the first argument, speaking on
behalf of the government in OppOSi-

single question before the Supreme court
was whether the court below had juris-
diction. and proceeded to show that it
had. He devoted very little time to dis

to the mails and mail bags or to the pro-
visions of the act OF 1890, and passed i'm

absolute and excludes all other au-

This strange being was born in
Galveston, Texas, twenty-five years
ago. II you can picture a beauti-
fully formed woman in your mind,
you may have an idea as to what
this person looks like. 1t has
baf1led all scientists to say whether
this freak Of nature is man or
woman. More than fifty physicians
have examined this wonderful hui
man being in this city; they all
express themselves as being aston
ished at this case of absence Of sex.
The person sings for those who visit
in high soprano voice. An interest
ing lecture is delivered every half
hour from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. at
the place Of exhibition, 32l West
Commerce street. If you wish to

few days longer. The representa-
tives of the LIGHT have seen this
strange human being and advise
