Tn, Recsn, Supreme Court Decision.

The United States supreme court has
decided what is known as the Jim
Crow" car case, that the statute OF the
state Of Louisiana requiring railroad
companies to supply separate coaches
for white and colored persons is consti'
tutional, affirming the decision OF the
court below. Justice Brown delivered
the opinion, Justice Harlan, dissenting
This, in brief, is the statement that
comes to US from Washington, and the
august body known as the supreme
court has further stultified itself in the
eyes of the American people by rem
dering decision that in effect says one
class of our people is unfit to ride in
common carriers with another class.
1t is an annulment of the constitution,
which accords to all equal privileges
and rights. 1t is class legislation, or
rather misconstruction OF the law, OF
the basest kind, and in years to come
the decision will be reversed and public
sentiment will force that reversal
Only a few weeks ago the same court
decided that to try Negro by jury
OF lawful citizens of his state was good
law and must be construed as being
tried by men of his peer. Now come'
the same tribunal and says separate
cars are lawful They first declare that
white men and Negroes are equal be
fore the law, and then declares that the
latter constitutes separate and dis
tinct class Great God what consis
toncyl The best lawyer known to crea
tion could not keep pace with thi'
prInccly body.

The Number Known to Havc Besn Killed
Ia Placed Mt Ii8.
EAST ST. LOUIS, May 2s.-East st.
Louis is in ruins The cyclone which
swept down on the city last night oblit-
erssed block after block OF the bus ness
houses and dwellings and ueft be--.nd
in its trail Of death scores Of human
beings buried beneath the walls of the
fattencd buildings, or crushed to death
in the streets by the flying debris.
The improvised morgues and hospit-
ais are fairly packed with dead, some
crushed and battered out OF all human
shape, and through them flow steady
stream OF hystcrlcal women, grim faced
men looking for their missing ones.
1t is almost impossible to make accu
rate estimate Of those killed.
At the various morgucs and st Mary's
Hospital there are iifty-six; six are in
the Big Four freight house ruins. How
many there are scattered about the
| city In private houses II Is impossible
to tell, but conservative estimate
would place the total number at least
at l50. The scene is simply appalling.
The greatest slaughter was done ON
the island, so-callcd. Here We're To-
Gated the Vandalia freight house and
general Offices, the river boats, ware
houses and humble abodcs OF working
men. Ncthng is left standing The
places where formerly houses and
freight dcpots stood were literally
swept by the fury Of the storm.
In the Vandalia general offices there
were from 20 to 25 killed. The bodies
Of some Of these are still beneath the
broken raf,crs and bricks. The none
,ary loss cannot be estimated, but II
will be up into the millions.
The storm struck the big elevators
800 yards below the Eads bridge, fol
lowed the river TO the bridge, started
diagonally toward the Relay Depot and
continued on to Collinsvillc avenue,
then lifted and dropped again at the
National Stock Yards, Nothing what
| ever remains OF Broadway from the
| river to the viaduct and on the east
side for the width ofprobably 600 yards
there is absolutely no sembancc of u
house, freight shed or car left stand
ing,
The search for the dead is still going
on, but II Is slow work There Is yet
too much confusion TO proceed systc-
matically. The only mode of travel
between st. Louis and East st. Louis is
on fcrryboats, making hourly trips, and
they are loaded to the waters edge with
people coming and going.
The river front for 1000 yards is one
great mass OF wrcckagc, Steamboats,,
fcrryboats, transfers md tugs are piled
up In an indiscriminate pile, some
nearly submerged, others high and dry
on the shore. The heavy stone masonry
OF the east end OF the Eads bridge was
cut off at the railroad tracks while the
approaches are twisted and the wreck
trains are passing over very slowly md
carefully. Every undertaking cstab.
lishment is an improviscd morguc a.d
the hospitals are full of injured.
The estimated death list at Eosa St.
Louis is 200 and the injured will reach
about $50. a

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local application as they cannot
reach the Diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous Inning of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and I'm
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)

Old Map of Maryland and Virginia


At the Peabody library is an old
map of Maryland and Virginia,
which is believed to date back to the
seventeenth century. The map has
a description of Maryland on one
leaf of the back and description of
Virginia on the other leaf 1t is
bound with a few blank pages, to
give it stability, and was evidently
part of a larger work describing the
American colonies, as the pages are
numbered. Baltimore town" is
situated between the "Susquesa-
banough'' and Bush rivers. No es-
pecial mention is made of it in the
description of the colony, in which
"St Maries' figures as the chief
place. In addition to the Susque-
hanna, with it's queer spelling, the
principal rivers are named as the
Patowmeo, Patuxent, Ann Arundel,
alias Severn, Choptank, Nantoooke
and Pocomoke. Tobacco raising is
named as the principal source of
revenue in the colony, and it is
stated that trade was carried on
chiefly by barter and exchange. The
map was published in London. Bal
