STATES MUST NOT INTERFERE.
Important Decision Rendered by Judge
OF the Federal Court


Omaha, May Judge Shlras, OF the
Federal court, today passed on the ha-
beas oorpuses at Fort Robinson. In which
Lieutenant Langdon and Sergeant Bra
den had been held under state authority
for selling liquor without license as
officials In charge of the post exchange.
The opinion OF Judge Shiras was a COM
prehensive and elaborate statement OF
the law pertaining to military reserva-
tions In general throughout the United
States. 1t exhaustively reviewed all nu-
thorlties.
He upheld in the opinion complete and
absolute jurisdiction of the general gov
ernment over the military reservation In
question, and, further that the amenda-
tory act of Nebraska, seeking to reclaim
authority TO enforce It's liquor upon this
reservation, was nugatory. This settles
the question OF the right OF the govern
ment to maintain its post exchanges
without interference In any manner by
state authorities,

TO BUY THE POPE A CITY.
Constantinopie, More Than Rome, II
Likely to he

Constantinopie, More Than Rome, In
Likely to Be Purchased.
1t is suggested that the Roman Catho-
lies of Christendom shall subscribe ST.
100000, 900 to buy Rome and a nearby
seaport for the pope, says Harper's
Weekly. The belief is expressed that
the Italian government might sell the
property without serious detriment to
its political integrity and that the
money could be used TO great advantage
In relieving Italy of part of the burden
of her public debt. 1t is not proposed
to turn over the principal to the vendors,
but to place it in trust and to pay its
annual proceeds into the Italian treas
ury as long as the pope remains undis-
turbed in the papal territory.
The plan is u very pretty one aud
there are those who think the money
might be raised and that King Hum
bert's government would appreciate
the advantages of Such a bargain. but
would Rome be the best purchase the
pope could make with the money?
Chicago would take him vastly cheaper
and give him port privileges on Lake
Michigan, but she could not engage to
make him monarch Of an American town
ship Mt any price. But there is Con-
stantinople, an excellent city, where
popes have lived before, full of ready
made churches built by Christians and
nearly ripe now for RECONSIDERATION.
Constantinople seems Liable TO come
into the market any day. If the pope
could buy it of the sultan mat would be
a deal worth subscribing to and worth
turning a page of history to record.

The Secret Of Long Life.

nj. Barthelemy Saint I~Iilaire, the
famous French scholar and politician,
who recently entered on his goth year
full of intellectual aud physical vigor,
has been telling the inevitable inter-
viewer how it is his days are so long in
the land.
1t is, we are told, "early to bed and
early to rise" with steady work during
waking hours. Every grand old man
seems to have a secret of his own. Mr..
Gladstone attributes his longevity Ia his
habit of taking u daily walk in all
weathers aud TO his giving ~thirty-two
bites to every morscl of food.
Oliver Wendell Holmes pinned his
faith on equability of temperature The
late Mai. Knox Holmes swore by the
tricycle., which in the end was the carse
of his death.
Some aged persons give the credit ot
their long lives to abstinence from to-
bacco. alcohol or meat; others 10 their
indulgence in these things. One old
lady OF 100 or Whereabouts maintained
that single blessedness was the real
elixir Vita and she ascribed the death
OF u brother at the tender age Of 80 TO
the fact that he had committed matri-
mony. NJ. Ferdinand de Lcsseps be-
lieved In horseback riding, while James
Payn complains that one can get too
much horse.
Among the champions of horseback
riding was also Thomas Carlyle, who
groomed his horse rs well as rode it.
On the whole. it must be concluded
tha.the real secret Of longevity is IA sound
constitution p%rudently husbanded.

why the Eyes of y Painted Portrait Fol-
low the Observer.
Wollaston's curious discovery was
that by adding TO each pair of eyes q
nose directed to the right or the left,
the eyes lose their front direction, and
look to the right or left, according 10
the direction of the nose. BY means of
a flap representing the lower features
in a different position, as DR.. Wollaston
remarks, "a lost look of devout abstrac-
ton in an uplifted c%ountenance of in
quisitive archness in the leer of a
younger face turned downward and OBJ
liqueiy toward the opposite side"
AS by changing the direction Of the
lower features we change the direction
of the eyes, says Notes and Queries. so
by changing Il position, the eye OF the
portrait apparently follows us. If Il
vertical line be drawn through the tip
OF the nose and half way between the
eyes, there will be the same breadth of
head, of cheek, of chin aud of neck on
each side of this middle line, and each
iris will Re in the middle OF the whole
eye. III we now move to one side, the
apparent horizontal breadth Of every
part of the head and face will be di-
unfinished, but the parts on each side Of
the middle line will he diminished equal
~, and nj any position, however oblique,
there will be the same breadth of face
on each side of the middle line, and the
Iris will be in the center of the whole
of the eyeball, so that, being on a fat
surface, the iris will be seen in front of
the picture or obliquely.

How She Took In a Crowd on an Express

violent emotions. She hesitaled in her

could not love. A few days previous

She was now forced 10 protect herself to

During her recital she showed several
marks and sears on her neck and arms
not neglecting TO expose a portion OF
her beautiful form, whilst remaining
within the limits of propriety INFLICTED
by the cruelty of her husband. AL
though he watched her carefully she
managed to escape from him, and was
able to jump into the moving train. Her
wish was to return To her parents, who
lived in Jefferson, Neb., but this she
could not do. as her husband had taken
all her money, and ut that moment she
did not have a cent in her pocket. One
word led to another. She removed her
jewelry, consisting of bracelets, ear
rings, and watch, gave her name and
parents address, and one of the gentle
men was kind enough TO advance her

surances of everlasting gratitude, and

gave the money, it is needless TO say,
