TWO NOTES..
A Mistake That Caused q Society Mans
Hasty Departure.

Why is it that. Notwithstanding the
frequent and annoying mistakes that
are apt to occur from such methods.
so many people have the habit Of
writing several notes, n after the
other, and, instead OF putting each in
its envelope as it is written. and di-
recting it at once, they leave it with
the others until all are finished? asks
the New York Tribune.
"Do you know why Cholly knick-
erbocker has gone oil suddenly for a
at the club recently. "He has simply
fled from encountering the awe-in-
| spring c~ountenance Of Mrs. y. at all
the different places he most affects.
II seems she wrote him an informal
note, inviting him to dinner, and at
the same time he received n line from
a mar he knew, asking him to shoot
pigeons at Hampstead. To the latter
he wrote playfully without any head
ing: 'Ta-ta; you bet I'll come. Yours,
Cholly Knickerbocker.' And for Mrs.
Y. he prepared a nicely worded little
acceptance of her kind invitation. He
then put the two missives into their
envelopes. sealed, directed and sent
them Off, and thought no more about
them until the next morning. when he
received a note from his friend rein
closing his own neatly turned epistle
to Mrs. y.
The inference vas obvious and the
worst OF it was that Mrs. n, who is {
very grande dame indeed, and who
fancies she has "a mission to uphold
the dignity of society, declines to &c
cept his version Of the facts. and ha.
openly asserted that she had her sus
picions before that he vas a little too
fond of champagne, and that she be
lieves that the ridiculous scrawl h
sent her was the outcome OF a festive
evening. So, as he is a sensitive

A Decision Handed Down I'm the
Sugar Trust Cases.

A Decision Handed Down in the
Sugar Trust Cases.
Washington, Feb 4.-Chief Justice Furer
to-day announced the opinion and judg-
ment of the supreme court upon the ap-
plications Of Alverton r. Chapman. brols-
er, and John S. Shriver, correspondent of
the Mail and Express, for leave to file
petitions for writs of habeas corpus. The
cases grew out of the investigation of
the alleged sugar scandal by a special
committee of the Senate, whose questions
Chapman and Shriver refused to answer.
They We're indicted in the supreme court
of the District of Columbia, and demurred
TO the indictment. The document was sus-
tanned by the supreme court, and also by
the court of appeals of the district where
upon these defendants surrendered tnem-
selves to the custody of the district and
applied to the supreme court of the United
States for relief, urging the unconstitu-
tionality of the statute under which the
indictments against them were found.
After reviewing the circumstances of the
case the chief justice stated that the gen
eral rule governing the issue of writs of
habeas corpus was that could not be made
to take the place of writs of error, and is
sued only in cases where the court Impos-
ing Imprisonment was without 1urisdlc-
ton. The petitioners. the chief Justice
said, must prosecute their case 10 a final
judgment in the court of appeals of the
district, and when that has been reached.
if 1t be adverse to them, their remedy lies
in a writ of error. The supreme court of
the United States deemed it a statutory
rule, said the chief justice not to inter-
fere with the action of the courts of the
district in advance of a final determine
tion thereof below, and found no excep-
tlonal circumstances in these cases TO
warrant n departure from that rule The
application for leave to file the petitions
for writs was, therefore, denied. 1t was
announced that Mr.. Justice Field dis
scented FROM the decision of the court.
The effect of the decision Is to REQUIRE
Chapman and Shriver to stand trial on
the indictments. The question of re-
admitting them to bail will be determined
tomorrow.

DEBs' TRIAL STILL on.

The Hearing of Testimony for the
Defense TO begin To-day.
Chicago, Feb. 4.-The government con-
cluGed it's case in the Debs trial this af-
ternoon, and the Introduction of testl-
mony for the defense will begin to-mor-
row. Shortly after court convened Judge
Grosscup created a surprise by stating
that he had reconsidered his refusal to
allow Attorney Geeting to cross examine
the governments witnesses and recalled
Witnesses Ryan and Spencer, whom he
had refused to allow Attorney Geeting to
cross examine. Mr.. Geeting waived his
right in the case of these two on the
ground that he had forgotten their testi-
mony, but would exercise his priv ilege in
the case Of all subsequent witnesses.
The last witnesses for the government
were J. W. Higgins, superinten dent Of ter
minals of the Illinois Central; George a.
Smith, a Baltimore and Ohio employe.
George o. Allen. a deputy marshal. James
n. Conlon, roadmaster Of the Rock Island
railroad, and j. W. Arnold, United States
marshal for the northern district Of Iii
nois. The only evidence of importance
was offered by MIR, Conlon. IN July he
was arrested at Blue Island at the insti-
cation of the strikers. The defendant
Merwin, occupied an adjoining cell and
Mr.. Conlon teStined that MerWln. who
was intoxicated at the time, told him that
he had ditched nineteen cars that day.
The attorneys for the defense asked that
Mr.. Conlon's evidence be stricken out
After the jury had been dismissed. Judge
Tolman. representing Director McVesn.
asked that the latter's case be dismissed.
as no evidence connecting him with the
charge had been introduced. The court
took the matter under advisement.
Attorney barrow then made an eloquent
appeal to the court to take the case from
the hands of the jury, on the ground that
the evidence for the government only
proved the discord and disturbance exist
ing at the time of the strike, but in no
way tended to show that the defendants
entered into a conspiracy to obstruct the
mails. Judge Grosscup took the motion
under advisement and reserved his de-
cislon until tomorrow morning.

Material.
Washington. Feb. 4.-The award of the
contract for the Kansas City. No. public
building is becoming almost a national
question. The lowest bidder specified
Georgia granite as the material out OF
which he would construct the building
The Kansas City people objected to this
material, and other contractors whose
bids were higher Joined in the protest
In this they have the support Of the Mis-
souri, senators and representatives. On
the other hand. the Georgia congressional
delegation has come to the support of the
Georgia granite and repeI with much
warmth the charge that Georgia granite
is in any respect inferior TO the other
granite. In fact they say that it can be
quarried cheaper on account of the way 1t
lies in the mountain side. and it bids fair
to become a successful rival Of all other
granite and for that reason alone all
other granite quarry owners have com
bined against it,
An expert committee Of the architects
office has made a report on the wearing
quality of the several kinds submitted,
but the conclusions Of this report have
not been announced. It was intended to
have settled this contest last week, but
Gov. Atkinson of Georgia has now taken
a hand. He asked for a verbal hearing.
but Secretary Carlisle telegraphed him
that he could not grant it on Georgia
granite unless he accorded the same priv
ilege 10 the friends of the other granite
and he had not the time for that. Gov.
Atkinson will file brief in the case.
