Tall Hats at the Theater.

Said bright young lady who attends
frequently strictly first class theate-s:
81 always remove my hat or bonnet in
the theater if it is of proportions to in
terfere at all with the view of those sit
ting behind me l certainly think there
is great need of reform in this matter Of
headgear at the playhOuses. The mana
gers should formulate another rule and
strictly enforce it-that big bonnets and
hats rs left at home or removed at the
amusement houses. Other rules are
rigidly carried into effect at the theaters,
and there is no reason why another and
one Of the most important of all should
not find a place among them and be as
carefully observed.
1.-THE other evening l leaned forward
and asked lady sitting in front of me
il she would not remove her headgear,
as it interfered seriously with my vieE
of the stage. She gave me hJok that
was principally one of amazement.
When she had partially recovered from
her astonishmsnt, she said that her haiI
was not arranged in way permitting
the removal of the article. OF course
that is something to be borne in mind by
ladies who areinclined to favor this new
departure at the amusement places."-

MARS TOMS GRAVE.

A Faithful Old CoIOred Servant Devoted
to His Late Master.
''I saw pathetic instance at Green's
boro of a negro's fidelity" said w l..
Williams, a travelling man. about ten
miles from the town saw grave with
a marble slab at its head. Seated near
it was an old negro with a bunch of
flowers which he was placing over the
mound. l stopped my horse and spoke
to him.
"'Whose grave is that, uncle?' ask
ed
MARS Toms, boss. I'ze his nigga
"'Oh, no. You are no mans nigger
now. Didn't you know that you were
free?'
Dunno muffin bout dat, sab. I'ze

an when l comes ter cross de ribber of
Jordan he Jest hole out his hans an he
tells de angel at de gate who be, an he
let me in. l dreamed bout it las night
boss
81 was interested in the old fellow
and wanted to hear his story. The slab
at the grave told me that it was that of
Colonel Tom Winn, killed at the battle
of Shiloh, and questioned the faithful
negro further:
How old are you, uncle?'
"'Most hundred, reckon, sab.
"'Was you in the warp
"'Went wifi Mars Tom, sab. I'ze his
nigga, an he's in heaben I'ze jest

81 found upon inquiry that the story
was true, and for quarter of a century
the faithful negro had done nothing but
attend the grave of his young master,
whose body he brought from northern
Mississippi to central Georgia Gin.

In the case of Buchanan VS.. City of
Litch6eld, 1O2 U. s. 27S, it appears that,
Notwithstanding the Indebtedness of the
city had exceeded the constitutional
limit, municipal bonds were issued under
authority of a statute of Illinois, and an
ordinance of the city, for the construc-
tion of a water works system for the use
of the municipality. Buchanan, the
holder of some of those bonds, brought
suit upon the unpaid interest coupons
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1895-12-30

thereto attached, and the courts of I'LL
nois and the supreme court of the United
States held that the bonds were void.
Afterward, one Ballou, and others, also
holders of a portion of the same series of
bonds, proceeded in equity against the
city, in the circuit court of the United
States for the southern district of Illinois,
alleging among other proper averments.
that the money received for the sale of
these bonds was used in the construction
of the water works; that although the
bonds had been declared void in another
suit, the city was still equitably liable to
| them for the use of the money, and in their
prayer asked for decree against the
city for the amount found to be due, and
if not paid by reasonable time to be
fixed, that the water works be sold to
satisfy the decree. The circuit court sus-
taiued the contention of the complain
ants, and the city thereupon carried the
case to the supreme court of the United
States, which court reversed the decree
of. the court below and remanded the
caEse with direction to dismiss the bill.
City of Litchfield vs.. Ballou, ct al, ia U.
S. 1870. Mr.. Justice Miller delivered the
opinion of the court in which he de-
clares that bill in equity was not the
proper remedy, and even if suit at law
had been brought upon an implied con-
tract to repay the money the plaintiff
would be defeated because an existing
indebtedness already exceeding the con-
stitutional limit would be increased, and,

| DEFEAT CERTAIN IN THE SENATE.
In the senate the bond bill is certain te
| be converted into an instrument for the
free coinage of silver. The public will
! probably not fully realize the extent ol
the supremacy of the silver men in the
senate until either the tariff or the bond
bill comes up there for discussion. An
indication of the sort of opposition they
will make to any proposition not in the
interest of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver was given in the savage attack
made by Senator Teller upon the speech
of Senator Hill.
+ There are in Che senate eighty-seven
senators. not counting the vacant seat
from Delaware, and Of this number forty
six are confessedly out and out free silver
men. OF this number twenty-five are
Democrats, seventeen are Republicans
and four are Populists, Senators Jones
and Stewart, of Nevada, being ranked as
Republicans.
WILL ISSUE BONDS.
The president and the cabinet are face
face with the fact that congress is play
ing politics with the presidents special
message asking treasury relief and that it
will do nothing satisfactory, and have de-
termined, to issue bonds under the re-
sumption act of 1875, and the official an
nouncement will be made by Tuesday, if
not before. 1t is the presidents purpose
to make this the last bond sale of his ad-
ministration, if possible, and, therefore,
the amount of bonds offered will be 800,
100000 and they will be in thirty-yea
per cents in small denominations, on a
per cent basis. 1t is proposed to invite
bids from the public generally for a
given period, with the understanding that
Mr.. Morgan and his associates will take
the greater portion Of the new loan as un-
derwriters for whatever the public does
not take.
REPUBLICANS AT LoGGERHEADs.
The Senate, which has referred the
House tariff bill to it's finance committee,
will do nothing with it until the reorga-
nization of that committee tomorrow
when arrangements will be made for con-
sidering the numerous amendments de-
manded by the protected industries.
There is NO doubt that it will be amended
materially before it is reported by the
finance committee or passed by the
Senate, Senators Aldrich and Allison,
who will have charge Of it for the Repub-
licans in the finance committee and on
the floor, expect to reconstruct the pro-
visions respecting wool and WOODEN
goods. 1t will be weeks before the bill
emerges from the finance committee, ac-
cording to the present outlook, through
every promise is held forth that there
will be no delay in committee.
