There are many houses, both In this
country and abroad, where the ladies
have asserted their rights, to billiards,
and a bil1iard-room to themselves In
France, where billiards is universally
played, the game has become extreme
~ popular among women The prin-
eesses of the English royal family have
contributed much to pops1larizing the
same throughout related courts in
Germany. Among the crowned heads
who play billiards may be mentioned
the dowager czarina. who is very skill
full at the game. Queen Margherita
of Italy is very fond of retiring with
her court ladies to her billiard-room,
believing the exercise of the game has
q beneficial effect in retarding her
tendency to stoutness. Princess Leo
pold of Bavaria, the daughter of the
Austrian imperial pair, is reported to
be very graceful player. and in her
Munich palace she and her children
have many interesting Journeys in the
afternoon hours. The queen regent of
Spain was, in her girlish days, fine

NOW IS THE BEST TIME.
The World Medical Institutes Scientific Catarrh
Treatment Beats ALL Ae

Great numbers of people suffer from
the malign poisons Of catarrh as from
other subtle chronic maladies, without
any correct or definite idea of the nature
of their aff1iction. The following symp-
toms have been carefully arranged by
the World Institute to enable many suf-
ferers to understand just what it is that
ails them Many diseases, known under
various specific names, are really of
catarrhal origin and nature. Every part
of the mucous membrane, the nose.
throat, eyes, ears, head, lungs, stomach,
liver, bowels. kidneys and bladder, are
subject to disease and blight by catarrh.
The proper course for sufferers is this:
Read these symptoms carefully over,s
mark those that apply to your case and
bring this with you to the World Institute.
If you live away from the city send them
by mail and ask for mail treatment In
either instance, and whether by mail or
office treatment, the patient may be as
sured of the speediest relief and cure
possible to medical science.

THE BLUE AND GRAY.

Leaders of Both Armies VIII Have n ota-
BILE Reunion in Chicago Memorial Day.
CHICAGO May IA. "A notable reunion
of the blue and the gray will take
place when the confederate monu-
ment at Oakwoods is dedicated on Me-
mortal day. Officers who were promi-
nent in the armies both of the north
and the south will be present and will
do their utmost to make the occa-
sion memorable. Several carloads
of flowers will be sent from
the southern states to decorate
the graves of the 5000 confederate sol
diers who are buried at Oakwoods. The
expense of entertaining the visitors
will be borne by subscriptions raised
among some of Chicago's leading citi-
zens. Every effort will be made to
have this the greatest meeting of Off
GERS of the armies of the north and the
south that has ever occurred.

THE INCOME TAX.
The suprerns Court Said to Have Reaches
q Decision.

The suprenas Court Said to Have Reached
q Decision.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-It was learned
definitely that conclusion was
reached at Saturdays consultation of
the supreme court, and that it is con-
fidently expected to have the opinion
in the case ready for announcement
next Monday. No authoritative state
ment as to what the decision is can be
secured, of course, but all that can be
learned goes to corroborate the report
that the indications favor the uphold
ing of the law on the points that re-
main.
It was rumored at the consultation
of the justices Saturday Justice Jack
son voted with Justices Brown, White,
Harlan and Shiras to sustain the con-
stitutionality of the income tax law,
and the vote to be announced next
Monday will stand to in favor OF
the law.
A member of the court is responsible
for the statement that there will prob
ably be two opinions, and W lille he did
not go to the extent of indicating on
which side the majority would be, he
said member of the majority would
write the opinion on that side, which
would be the opinion of the court,
while some member of the minority
would express the opinion on the other
side, and there would probably be no
Independent, individual opinions as be-
fore.
The present intention is to make the
opinion comparatively brief. They
will cover only the questions left I'M
decided in the first decision, as to
whether the void provisions cover the
whole act; whether the act as it affects
incomes from personal property as
such are unconstitutional because it
provides for direct taxation of them,
and whether the tax is invalid on
account of want of uniformity. The
understanding is now that Justice Har-
Ian will prepare the majority opinion
sustaining the law The court at the
same time will render opinions on a
large number of other cases which
have been argued. Adjournment for
the summer will not be reached, how
ever, until the following Monday, the
27th instant.
A COMMISSION TO ADJUST CLAIMS.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-An arrange
ment has been effected between the
United States and Great Britain in
which October is set as the time for
the assem- bling at Washington of
commission to negotiate treaty as
to claims of sealers on account of
Behring sea seizures. Delegates will
come from Canada to meet the authori-
ties here. The report coming from
Victoria that the British government
had vacated the sealing regulations
because of the non-payment by the
United States of 1926, 900 claimed for
seizures is said to be due to misappre-
hension. In view of the fact that the
commission will meet in October to
consider these seizures, there should
be, it is stated, no present ground of
complaint for non-payment.

Cardinal Gibbons Says Legislation Must
BE Backed by Moral support.
BALTIMORE, May 14-Cardinal Glib
bons in the hall of the Young Mems
Christian association delivered an adj
dress before the Maryland State Tenn
perance alliance.
II do not think that prohibition can be
seriously considered in our larger cities"
said the cardinal. ''for prohibitionsdoes
not prohibit in.Iarge communities" The
remedial measures suggested by the
cardinal were:
High license; restricting the number
of saloons in each district or ward; no
saloon should be allowed to be opened
within certain proximity to a church or
school house; that the good name of the
applicant for license should be vouched
for by reputable citizens; that the sale
of liquor should be regulated by judi
cious legislation; absolute closing of
saloons on the Lords day. But ali leg
isIation, to be effective, must be backed
by the moral support of the people,"

When they did start there was a hot
race around the down town streets
John Frazee, one of the robbers, was
caught, but the other two escaped and
had with them all of the plumber.

DENVER. Col, May IA. Following up
On the lecture of ex-Congressman Bland
in this city the following editorial
published in the Denver Times (repub-
lican) last night, attracted considera-
BILE attention:
Senator He nry M. Teller sounded
the keynote for the next national cam
paign in Colorado in his short speech
at the Bland silver meeting last Satur-
day night. It was not so much spe-
cial war cry to republicans, however,
as a general warning to members
of all parties to rally round the
one flag under which there is hope for
the return of national prosperity. : =
When Senator Teller announced that
he had cast his last vote for any presi-
Dental candidate who was opposed to
free silver or lukewarm in it's interests
he did it with the knowledge that the
republican party of Colorado stood as
one man at his back. It is free coin
age or disrupture for the national re-
publican party lin 1896. Which will
you choose?'

Jackson before the club. Jackson was

the club to put up purse, and let him

proposition, however, met with no re-
Spouse. Owing, it is said, to Corbett's

a trance. The people in the neighbor-
