INCOME TAX REARGUMENT.

The Full United States Supreme Court
Hears the Case.
For the first time in several months all the
members OF the Supreme Court were on the
bench when according to previous announce
ments the income tax cases disposed Of by
the court on the 9Th Of April were opened
for reargument, the arguments to be made
upon all the points OF the case, and not
merely upon those special ones
for which rehearing was asked
BY counsel. The recent announce
ment OF Chief Justice Fuller that a
rshearing might be granted under certain
conditions was intended to mean that II JUS
dee Jackson should be present in court when
the case was called the entire matter would
be reopened. Justice Jackson sat in his ac-
eustomed place at the end Of the line on the
left OF the Chief Justice when the court met,
md it was agreed by the lawyers interested
that the fate Of the income tax law practi-
eally rested In his hands.
Justice Jackson was the cynosure Of all
eyes, and appeared to feel keenly his pc
Suliar surroundings as the practicalumpire
on the constitutionality of the law. the re-
mainder OF the court being equally divided.
Feeble and emaciated. he had come to Wash
ington from Tennessee for the express pur-
pose Of making it possible for the court to
render final decision on the constitutional
question involved.
The discussion Of the case was limited by
the court to two counsels on each side, and
at the suggestion of Mr.. Choate the time was
fixed at five hours on each side. w. D.
Guthrie opened the argument for the petit
tioners. Messrs. Hyde and Pollock, who

Our First Treaty With England.

OF interest to-day is our first treaty
with England, says the Rehoboth Sun
day Herald. The first thing was to
get from the King of England state
ment that he and his Ministers were
willingformally to acknowledge Ameri-
can independence.
When this was done three American
Ministers went to Paris in order to be
upon neutral territory, and there they
met one David Hartley, who had been
named by the King to represent Great
Britain. Each spent some time exam
lining the others credentials to see
that they were treating with the right
parties, ..
When fully satisfied upon this i'm
portant matter, they took few sheets
of common and rather coarse white
paper, nine by fifteen inches in size,
and folded once, and at the top of the
first page wrote in coarse and crude
hand: "In the name of the most holy
and undivided Trinity"
Writing in unbroken lines across
the entire page, on both sides of the
paper, and frequently referring each
to the other as "High mightiness, "
these commissioners filed nearly four
sheets of the paper, and at the end
they signed their names. David Hart
ley signed first, and he placed his
name away up in the left hand corner,
just under the last line of the text,
where it appears almost crowded of
the paper by the names of the Ameri-
can signers, John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin and John Jay.
They tied the sheets together with
some very narrow and very cheap blue
ribbon, the ends of which they fast
ened to the paper with patches of red
sealing wax. This wax they need
lessly burned in placing it just at the
left of their signatures.
This is the definite treaty OF YER
-sailles, now yellow and faded. By it
Great Britain formally renouuced all
claim to the thirteen original States.
These foursheets of cheap paper, with
their "High mightiness, their "Most
potents," and their faded blue ribbon,
constitute the official close OF the
Revolutionary War.

A Fierce Hail Storm, Terrific Thunder and
Brilliant Electric Display.
Reports of terrific cloudburst were re-
ceived from the southern part Of Ontario
County, New York.
A passenger on the Middlesex Valley train
reported that when the train left Naples and
had proceeded about mile from the depot
the clouds came together accompanied by
terrific thunder and n brilliant electric dis
play. Immediately the rain began to fall in
torrents.
In the Middlesex Valley, in tine vicinity Of
West River. the railroad was washed out ~
many places and crops and vineyards de-
stroyed. When the train reached Russville
the storm was such that 1t was notconsidered
safe to send it further.
The storm was the worst in years. The
bed of the railroad from Middlesex to Naples
was washed out most of the way. Fields
have been furrowed and the small streams
were transformed into rivers.
The freight house at Russville was struck
by tightening and completely destroyed.
Great damage was done to telegraph and
telephone wires. and in many offices the
wires were burned out. Great damage was
done along Canandaigua Lake, both to vine
yards and to cottages.

Savage Birds.

A young naturalist who is close
observer of birds tells this little
story:
lone morning last 81 inner while
walking through one of the parks l
was attracted by tremendous chat
tering from q clump of bushes near
the pathway. It sounded as if a hum
dred birds were having a fight over
their breakfast-for sparrows think
that fat worm or juicy bug is worth
making great fuss about. l walked
quickly and stealthily up to the bushes
and peeped in. It was not worm
which caused the commotion,. but
something bigger. A large flock OF
English sparrows were flying about,
screaming as if they had gone mad
aud pecking savagely at intervals at
some small animal which was running
about on the ground. 1t was poor
little red chipmunk who had excited
their wrath. He was running back
and forth, evidently trying to get
away from his tormentors. 1t was OF
no use, for he was closely surrounded
by them, and he evidently was getting
weak in the unequal struggle. SO
drove away the sparrows and tried to
rescue the miserable little squirrel
When the birds flew away the chip
munk still lay upon the ground, and
seemed unable to move. 7 picked hin
up in my hands. He was in a pitiable
condition. The sparrows had pulled
nearly every hair out of his tail. One
of his eyes was entirely pecked out,
and he was covered with pecks and
wounds where the pugnaclous little
spsrrows had pecked and beaten him.
Poor little chippy! He was nearly
dead and evidently in such suffering
that he had to be put OF his misery.
We had Mr.. Chipmunk stuffed and
put him on the mantel shelf for an or
nament. He looks much more happy
there than he did the day the quarrel
some little sparrows pecked his life
away. But what it was that excited
their wrath Mr.. Chipmunk never
told. New York Recorder.

SCHOOL. DIRECTORS KILLED.
Three of Them Shot Down by One Man
Woman's Gossip Said to Have Caused i

Three OF Them Shot Down Dy One Mnn--s
Woman's Gossip Said to Have Caused 1t.
Three school directors were killed In the
Como (Col.) District few days ago. The
slayer and only survivor Of the duel, "Ben"
Radcliffe, was taken to Fair Play after sur
rendering, but declined to make any state
ment.
1t is said that Mrs. Joseph Crockett wrote
letter to Radcliffe informing him that Sam
uel Taylor had made the statement that Ra l.
cliffe's daughter should not be allowed to go
to school with decent children. This was ac-
companied by broad insinuation.
Radcliffe armed himself with a revolver
and Winchester rifle and repaired to the
place where the school election was in pro-
gress. What occurred is not known. for Of
four men who took part Radcliffe Is the only
survivor.
1t Is supposed that he accused Taylor OF
writing the letter and in the argument that
followed George D. Wyatt and L. F. Nc
Curdy, the other parties killed, took part
against him. Wyatt's statement after he
crawled to the door is rather incoherent and
cannot throw any light upon the quarrel.
Radcliffe has the reputation Of always going
armed, and during the past year he has had
several quarrels with the School Board and
the Superintendent. Wyatt survived four
hours, but at no time was he able to give an
account Of the occurrence.

ELECTION LAWS INVALID.

Judge Goff Declares South Carollna's Reg
istration Acts Unconstitutional.
The State Of South Carolina received two
severe blows in the United States Circuit
Court at Columbia. The more important
and far reaching case was that reSa ding the
registration laws Of the State.
Ever since 1t was decided to hold Consti-
tutional Convention, OF which the avoweo
purpose was to insure white supremacy, the
colored voters have been much worked up.
Church collections we're made Tor fund
with which to contest the calling OF the con.
vention and the validity OF the election
laws, Colored preachers were hard at work,
and the efforts OF the colored people in.
dorsed by the Republican leaders, have now
been rewarded In the preliminary legal
fight, In which the registration laws arc held
to be unconstitutional by Judge Gof.
He holds. In long opinion, that 1t was the
intention Of the Legislature IN passing the
registration law, "How best to abrtdge and
destroy the greatest number OF votes OF the
citizens Of African descent, while at the same
time interfering with as few as possible OF the
voters Of the white race"
Tho decision Of the court is that the
registration law Is harassing, unnecessarily
rigid, discriminating md outrageous IN c. Ger
tain provisions, and Is null and Vold. lals
leaves the State without any election laws,
or with the same conditions as existed prior
to 1852, when the law was enacted.
The decision OF Judge Simonton In the
dispensary law, while It will, II sustained,
be q severe blow to the system, will not nee
essarily kill the law. It will simply estao-
lish the right Of the citiz0 to bring lquoi,
into the State for his own consumption and
not for sale. 49,
The State authorities announced that the
dispensary system was there to stay, and
that they did not believe the Supreme Court
would sustain tho opinion OF Judge simon,
tom. A test case will be made at once, and
it is the Intention OF the State to have con-
stables continue the seizures, put themselves
In contempt OF court, go to jail and then ask
