4 LOTTERY KNOCKED OUT,
important Decision by Justice Har-
Ian Of the Supreme Court.
lie KENTUCKY LOTTERY IS INVALID
Cnnstitution OF the state Had the
b,ght to Revoke All Franchises,
which Are Not Legal Contracts.

Washington, November 29.--Justice IIar-
Ian handed down the opinion Of the United
states supreme court today in the case OF
~. j. Douglass, plaintiff in error, VS.. the
Ccmmonw ealth of Kentucky, holding the
franchise of the Frankfort lottery to be
invalid, The case was brought TO this court
by Douglass on allegations OF error in the
decision OF the Kentucky court OF APP
reals which was adverse TO nlm. In rem
deiing his opinion Justice Harlan quoted
the provision OF the Sentuchy constitution
OF 1891 revoking all lottery charters here
tofore granted and forbidding The exist
cnce Of lotteries in the State. lie consid-
erod al some length The coneentton OF
Douglass that the revocation OF his charter
worked the revocation Of contract In
violation OF the constitution Of he United
States prohibiting any State from passing
a law impaSring contracts.
III" he said. this Interpretation OF tho
Federal constitution be correct, It will fol-
low that the pTovisio min the constitution
or statutes OF Kentucky tcrbii ding ld,teiies
and gift enterprises in THAT commonwealth
and revokiug all lottery privileges or char
ters thereto granted are null AM VOID as
TO the defendant This necessarily itsuits
from the declaration that the constitution
OF the United States is the supreme law OF
the land, anything in he constitution or
laws OF any State notwithstau ling.
He continued by quoting former opin-
ion of the court to the effect that the COM
mon forms OF gambling were comparatively
innocuous when placed in contrast with the
widespread pestilence of lotteries. To this
he added. lis State forbidden by the SUI
preme law Of the land from protecting Its
people at all times from practices attended
by such ruinous results? Can the legisla-
ture of State contract away its power to
establish such regulations as are reason
ably necessary. from time 10 time, to pro-
tect the public morals against the ac-
knowledged evils of lotteries2'
In conclusion 1t was held that "a lottery
grant Is not in any sense contract with
in the meaning of the Constitution. but Is
simply gratuity and license, which the
State, under its police powers and for the
protection OF the public morals may at any
time revoke and forbid the further cohduct
OF the lottery; and that no right acquired
during the life of the grant, ON the faith or
by agreement with the grantees, can be
exercised after. the revocation of the grant
and the prohibition OF the lottery II Its ex-
ercise involves a continuance of such lot

Emma Calve has attained a success I'M
precedented in the annals Of lyric art.
To repeat the story of her triumph Is
needless. Her superb voice, her fascinat-
gestures, her black eyes, irresistible mirth
r-these, and the indescrbable something
more. make up the dazzling PRESERVATION
by which the artist has made her name
famous in every part of the world.
Her marvellous artist temperament has
made her great actress, but this brings
its own price, and as great hearts know
great grlefs, great temperaments must
know great nervous strain, consequently,
there are periods OF nervous prostration
and unfulfilied engagements when i'm
patient audiences are apt to forget these
extenuatlng circumstances.
Calves absolute reliance on Paine's celery
compound at all such times of low ner-
vous energy appears in the following let

Cans triphanmer left caught him again
and he dropped. He was getting to his
feet slowly and painfully when his seconds
threw up the sponge.
