snd women whose ambition is greater than their
gifts and who In a time Of slackened demand,
find it difficult to live all and impossible to live
in the comfort they expected. On this point, how
ever, l need not dwell at the present time it
Is only too certain TO come up for discussion
pretty frequently. Just now | would only note
a point that Is cognate and yet distinct-the
fact that while very few people are buying cx-
pensive modern pictures. the demand for the
older works OF art, works which time has Sc
lected and consecrated, is greater than ever
Another curious point that one cannot fail TO
notice Is the favor that is being and
more accorded to the auction room as compared
with dealers stocks. Buyers under the i'm
pression which those who know most about 1t
know to be commonly delusion, that when n
great collection comes to be dispersed they will
be able to buy at fairer prices than If they
bought in the ordinary way. The result is
steady driving up Of the price Of whatever
works Of art happen to be in demand. since IT
is obvious that if the competitors In the auc-
ton room increase in number and determine
ton not only IL there a rise In the price of the
objects sold In any particular SALE but the
knowledge Of the enhanced prices rapidly
spreads and everybody who holds similar stock
endeavors to push II up I'm proportion. We have
often had extravagant sales OF works OF art

JUDGE sTuBBs's DECISION.

Some of the State papers criticise the
recent decision of Judge Stubs inval-
idating a certain provision of the Nichol-
son law without publishing the decision
or the grounds on which it is based.
There is discernible a disposition in some
quarters to assume that the Judge went
out of his way to find technical grounds
on which to base his decision, and that
it was inspired by hostility 20 the law.
No person who knows Judge Stubs will
believe anything of this kind. and those
who do not know him can rest assured
that such an implication does him injus-
tice. The correctness of his decision will
be finally determined by the Supreme
Court, but, whether right or wrong, no
person who knows him will doubt that
it represents his honest conviction of the
law
The Constitution provides that every
act shall embrace but one subject and
matters properly connected Herewith,
which subject shall be expressed in the
title. But If any subject shall be en-
braced in an act which shall not be ex-
pressed in the title. such act shall be
void only as to so much thereof as shall
not be expressed in the title" Under
this provision, IL the body of a law con-
ain any provision not properly con-
nected with the subject as expressed in
the title. that provision is void. IL is not
necessary that every provision in the
body OF the law should be expressed In
the title. but they must be properly con-
nected with the subject as expressed in
the title. The title of the Nicholson
law Is:
An act to better regulate and restrict the
sale of Intoxicating, spdrituous. vfnous and
malt liquors.. providing penalties for the
violation OF The same. providing for the
enforcement thereof. and providing for
remonstrance against the granting of IL
cense for the sale Of the same.
Judge Stubs holds that the provision

than the proprietor Of . saloon or mem.

which was essentially his he kept his
promise. The Northern general and his
daughters were charmed by the attention
he bestowed upon them. As General Lee
had set the fashion, the young ladies were

and before the season closed the two old

Remembering the unhappy matrimonial
experiences of Byron and of his daughter
Ada. il is gratifying to learn that the lat

The Paris Figaro tells the following story
of the late Bishop Cordier, of Pnom-Penh:
As he found no Christians in the capital of
Cambodia, he decided to begin at the top
and convert King Norodom. His Majesty
expressed great interest in the new faith,
and appointed a special interpreter to trans
late the catechism and the words of the
Bishop for him. The ruler was ready TO be
baptized when he happened to learn that
Christianity only permitted a man 10 have

favor, to have at least twenty wives. When
this demand could not be granted he de-
cided to remain a heather.

bers OF his family to enter the place
during prohibited hours is void because
it Is not embraced in the title. THE
subject of the Nicholson act as expressed
in the title" says Judge Stubs, lis the
sale of intoxicating liquors, and 1t is
difficult TO see how the permission OF
others to go into the room where liquors
are sold can be construed as being
within the title of the act This does
not state the subject of the act as ex-
pressed in the title quite accurately. 1t
is not the sale of intoxicating liquors,
but 1.-The regulation and restriction of
the sale" If such regulation and re-
striction properly embraces the regulat-
ing and restricting of entrance to the
premises during certain hours, then
Judge Stubbs's decision is wrong. From
a mon- point of view most per-
sons would say that the regulation and
restriction of entrance to a room where
intoxicating liquors are sold was a mat
ter properly connected with the regula-
ton n restriction of the sale itself.
Whether this is the legal view remains
to be seen, but Judge Stubbs's decision
is so nearly in line with a previous one
by the Supreme Court as to justify a be-
lief that it will be sustained.

Editor Stead, of the Review of Re-
views, is doing some vigorous writing in
favor of making the Fourth of July a
festival day Tor all English-speaking ma
lions for the celebration of civil liberty.
He argues tirst that all English-speaking
peoples ought to have a day in common
for that purpose. and. second. that no
other day would be more appropriate or
convenient han the one now celebrated
by the American people. He says:
There is no other date than the Fourth of
purpose. The adoption of such a date by
Great Britain would indicate better than
anything else the entire extinction of the
old feud, the burying of the Ratchet and
the generous and enthusiastic recognition
OF the independence which was so violently
famous declaration was signed which
brought the United States into being. There
IL not a British colony or a British county
in which the Fourth of July. is not as
frankly recognized as in any State In the
American Union as one of the red-letter
days OF the worlds freedom and as mark
ing a great era OF the worlds progress.
From a sentimental point of view the
suggestion is not a bad one. but the
average Briton will not take to it kindly.
If he celebrates he would rather have a
day Of his own, and he is not likely to
adopt the day on which the American
colonies promulgated a policy that ended
in the humiliation of England.
