The II, s. Supreme Court Will Not Inter-
 fere to Give Him Liberty.
 Washington, Dec. 16-Mr. Justice Gray to-day announced the decision of the supreme court of the United States not to interfere, at the present stage of the proceedings at least, with the state courts of Connecticut in it's manage ment of the case of Dr. George E. Whit ten, who sought release by writ of ha- beas corpus from the custody of Chas. A. Tomlinson, sheriff of New Haven county.
 He had been arrested in Massachu- sstts as fugitive. from justice, under an indictment found against him in New Haven charging murder in the second degree. Being released on bail, he was surrendered to the officers by his bondsmen and committed to jail by justice of the peace.
 He filed a petition in the federal court in Hartford for writ of llabeas corpus, alleging irregularities in the in- dictment and the action of the justice of the peace. The writ being refused, Whitten appealed to the supreme court,
 These, said Justice Gray, were not sufficient to warrant the courts of the nation from interfering with the state courts, and the judgment of the court below was affirmed.

4 BALLooN TRIP

And Glance at the starry Armament.
 Captain David s, Thomas in his illus trated lecture on "Ballooning," gives an accurate representation of a section of the heavens Its correctness is pleas ing to astronomsts, whose desire for accuracy governs all they do The various stars and their relative dis tances and brillianey are beautifully shown. The North Star" is readily found because the Large Dpper" is entirely visible; each of the seven stars which comprise 1t being clearly shown, The Little. Bear" of which the North Star is a part is also visible. The Big Dipper" part of the Great Bear" shows with remarkable plainness, as does the Little Dipper" in the Small Bear." A part of The Greyhounds" is dimly seen. The Dragon" can be seen coiled gracefully around and between other consultations. Not all of the thirty five stars in "Cepheus" are visible, but those which can be seen readily by the naked eye are reproduced in this picture. "Casslopeia" with head upturned is readily distinguished in this view. The view is taken when Cas- siopeia" is lower in the horizon than the, North Star" West of .Cassiopeia" is shown "Perseus." "Algol' the vari- able star in the constellation "Perseus" seems to have been caught in one of it's periods of brightness. "Capella" in the constellation "Aurigo" shows brightly, making the other stars of the constellation look dinner by contrast
 'Camelopardatus" or "The Giraffe" struggles into view as it were making itself just dimly visible '"The Lynx" is also dimly shown in the view. Rath- CT in contrast to the last named con- stellation shine Castor" and "PoiluX" the bright stars of the constellation "Gemini" or "The Twins" Castor" is shown 8 trifie the brighter of the two. South of these is ''Procyon" in the con- stellation Little Dog" The other stars of the constellation are dimly shown. With mathematical nicety is shown that misty patch of dim stars called the "Crab' or by others 'The | Bee Hive" All of these stars are shown with photographic accuracy and clearness. In fact only a perfect pho tographer could show the difference in brightness and magnitude. This view was made by MT w. F, Munson from astronomers maps and charts, In addi- tion to the interest aroused by the graphic lecture and from an aeronaut's 1 point of view, the accurate represen- 1 +o+ of ,ic rio t1N pf tho (hp1V- ems delights an astronomer.

 The secret of Turkish success Is no Gueh puzzle as that of the Arabian It was much slower to begin with, rather followed the laws of conservative growth, adding little by little and talk ing pains to organize thoroughly and administer well that which was acquir- ed, It seems incredible now, but 1t is true that the cities and small Christian states about the Mediterranean often sighed for the peace and security to be found beneath the Ottoman power and readily sought iis shelter, The Turks were originally and remained for centu- ries the most skilful engineers and ar tillerists among the nations. Of great physical strength and courage Moham- mechanism added a stimulus little needed and made death in battle coveted, act ually sought with the eagerncss with which the British and Americans seek gold. Look at this for stroke of poli- cy: Every year 1000 choice hriCstian boys were set aside from the prisoners or Christian subjects, given the very best education the empire afforded,and meantime trained as Moslems and sol- diers, The discipline was Spartan ia it's vlgor. but skill and courage met with instant recognition and royal favor, pay and privileges were the highest. Add to this that cut off from every tie of country and kindred they had in the success of their masters wars every op- portunity for military advancement and the qualification of every sensual pas sion and you have the strongest and fiercest instrument of imperial ambition ever devised on earth. These were the Janizaries for generations, the bulwark of Ottoman power. The Turk thus proving long before Cromwelrs Iron sides and the Grand Army of the Poto- mac that the best soldier is the soldier that knows something
 I have reached the limit Of our time this morning. It may not seem to you pertinent discussion. It is to me in tensely so. for it leaves us with the question, why is 1t that the Turk, opening the sixteenth century with a better prospect than any other nation, has gone steady to ruin while states that then could not have furnished him with a body guard have climbed steadi- ly up to honor?" There is but one an- swer: The difference between the An | glo-Saxon and the Turk to-day is just difference between two names--Jesus and Mohammed.

THE rArRonMAv sELnM4N CASE.


 Patrolman Belman of the Grand ave- nue station may have to answer charges for assault at the meeting of the po- lice commissioners. An attempt was made to have him arrested on crim- inal charge and brought before the city court, but the authorities have decided to leave the matter to be dealt with by the police commissioners.
 The matter grows out of the treat ment which Patrick McQueeney of 726 Grand avenue received at the hands of the officer last Saturday night.
 McQueeney's story is to the effect that he was arrested on Grand avenue last Saturday night by Sergeant Brad ley and Patrolmen Patrick Reilly and Bsllman, all of the Grand avenue pre- cinct.
 The three officers refused to tell him at first for what he was arrested, but told him to come along with them to Lyon street On the way McQueeney was told that he answered the deserip- ton given of one of the men who as saulted D. & Cooper on Lyon street Saturday night, and that he must go be- fore MT. Cooper for the purpose of iden- titication.
 When brought into MT. Cooper's house McQuaeney was told to remove his hat and overeoat Then MT Cooper looked a him carefully and turning to the officers said that McQueeney was not one of the men who assaulted him, and so the prisoner was let go.
 McQueeney proceeded the officers out on the sidewalk He was stung by the thought that he should have been taken as the man who had been so brutal as to assault such an old man as MT. Coop CT, and his blood boiled within him. Tn his excitement he condemned the officers He was very bitter in his de- nurciation of Officer Bellman, whom l he spoke of virulently. The officer turned on him and smashed him over the head with a policeman's club and gave him another blow on the nose.
 
 blow was from a fist or club. There was then a scrimmage. but it was of short duration, as the officers easily | took McQueeney into custody.
 After proceeding about 100 rods Me Gueeney says that Sergeant Bradley called halt and beckonsd BeIlman to- ward him. The two officers had a con- sultation and then approached Reilly and the prisoner. McQueeney was then told by Sergeant Bradley that he could have the choice of going home or to the station house. McQueeney replied that i it did not matter to him. 1 He was told to go home. 1 This is McQueeney's side of the story. | The officers of the Grand avenue pre- einct say that ther. was no second arrest, and that McQueeney was not clrbbed to their knowledge.
 McQueeney called on Lawyer J. J. | Clerkin, of Clerkin & McNamara, yes | terterday. and said he would like to | have Bellman prosecuted MT. Clerkin took the case in hand and called on | City Attorney Matthewman to secure a warrant The latter said he thought i the best line Of procedure was to make a complaint against Bellman to the po- lice commissioners, and said that at present he was not disposed to issue a warrant.
 AIr. Clerkn said yesterday afternoon l that he did not think he should make charges against Bellman to the police l commissioners, but he had another course to pursue which would be per | feet.

Province after province has been Topped away, the gigantic effort of the crusades has spent itself in vain, Christianity has become a foul thing, and Turk has even crossed above and below, Greece, Thessaly, Wallachia, Bull garia and the Crimea were all in his hands, but still the coveted city stood, and a half united Christendom might still have prevented the long, dreary chapter of horrors known as Turkey in Europe. But Christianity was not unit ed, the western Christians did not care much what came to the eastern, be- cause the westerns or Latins, were, so to speak, Baptists and the eastern or Greeks were M. E.

WHY "BOCK BEER?"


The only William is not only bibulous
artist, but a philosopher and an antiquar-
ian. lie has evolved theory for the
phrase book beer" which just now is in
season, which, he says, is new. 1t is this:
Book beer is brewed in November-or 1t
ought to he--and should not be tapped be-
fore spring. on March 2l the sun enters
'the Ram" of the Zodiac. He thinks 1t is
not unlikely that book" which means
ram as qualifying beer" comes from
this fact.
Another supposed origin of the term
''boCk beer is that 1t is derived from the
town Of Einbeck, later Enbock, in North
Germany, near Hldesheim, where in me-
Gieval times the first double beer was
brewed. After Luther made his great
speech at Worms. in .l52l Duke Erich, of
brunswick. sent him in the evening big
Nowadays book beer is not "A double brew
laid" for four months. Its dark color,
which Stimulates the real article, is secured
by scorching the mal(.
one of the tests of the quality of book
was its muciaginous quality. When the
time came to tap the brew, the workmen
in the brewerles clad in their leather over
clothing, gathered at feast. which was
inaugurated by pouring a libation over the
benches. Then they sat down and feast
ed. When the feast was ended If their
leather tunics clung TO the settles, the
book" was pronounced good. Another
test was to place upon the froth of a glass
of book silver coin, something like a quar-
ter, and If IL was sustained the brew was
approved as standard.

A woMAN's QUEER PETS.
a Pair of Pet wasps That Have Been
Taught to Perform Tricks.

4 young woman residing near Monroe,
Pa. in the river country, has pair of pet
wasps, which are interesting as they
are unique in their way. She has trained
them to perform great many wonderful
tricks, and it is indeed marvellous to what
iegree of intelligence and agility her kind
ly care and patient perseverance have
brought them. As the young lady is an
invalid. she manages to get a great deal
of profitable diversion from her queer lit
tie pets.
Among other things she has taught them
to drink water from a thmble and to per
form the skirt dance as she calls it, by
nuttering their wings as they rest in the
palm Of her hand. They will sing 1T her
bidding, making faint, almost inaudible
cheep, and seem to be passionately fond
of music. The young lady is quite n fine
musician, and when she plays on the piano
the wasps take UP their positions on the
music rack and never bulge until the per-
formauCc Is over.
The wasps would seem TO have quite a
good deal of vanity, and nothing delights
them more than to be allowed to walk
about and inspect themselves on a little
hand-mirror, which is kept for their ex-
elusive use. Strange to relate, the wasps
have never been known to attempt to
sting anybody, although they have free
access to all parts of the house, and are
seldom confined, even at night.-Philadel-
phia Times.
