MandamuS Refused.

On last Thursday Judge Powell
rendered his decision in the l. L. q
G. mandamus proceedings, by which
it was sought to compel Auditor
Holder to issue his warrant on the
Industrial Institute and College
appropriation. The decision is a
sustainment of the course of the
Auditor. Following is copy OF
the decision of Judge Powell:
at is not necessary in this case
to decide as to whether or not the
act of the Legislature making the
appropriation for the |. L: u q.
became a law in its entirety by vlr-
tue of the Governors signature and
lodging it with the Secretary OF
State, for if such were the case the
conditions of the bill have not been
complied with.
"If it should be held that the
conditions of the bill were leglsla-
ton and prohibited by section 69
of the State constitution, anu not
such conditions as are therein allow
ed. then the whole bill must fall, as
the conditions and the rest OF the
bill are inseparably connected.
"Under our theory of government
every act of the Legislature to be-
come a law must have the JOINT as
sent of both houses of the Legisla-
ture and the Governor. The veto
of the conditions of the bill in ques
tion. if effective, transformed 1t
from IA conditional appropriation
and thereby destroyed the legisia
tive assent.
81 therefore decline to grant the
writ of mandamus prayed tor III
this case, and It is so ordered anu
adiudged.
sPetitloners will be allowed sixty
days in which to perfect appear III
this case"
The attorneys who represented
the Auditor in the case now say
that they will waive all formalltles
and bring the matter before the
Supreme Court at the earliest pos
sible day. I'he case may be reacn-
ed next week.

WELLMAN NOTES.

ertheless the effects of their hellish
work showed up in the Easter concert
Sunday night.
The concert proved to be success
Sunday night. Everything passed OF
very nicely, considering the large
crowd and disorderly congregation.
Some of our young men conducted
themselves very badly, mostly on ac-
count of some young ladies, or rather
young women, who were misbehaving
themselves very badly. Boys, we
would advise you, if you cant keep
compaDywith girls that conduct them
selves right in company, you had bet
ter keep company with yourselves
alone. The Sunday School scholars
were we'll trained in all of the perform
ances, and we give the credit to Miss
Lou Mason, Mrs. Scutt and several
others who took part in helping to
train the children. There was also
some very fine music furnished BY the
Messrs. Brent and Lea. The niisbeha-
vior which was carried on at the
church ended Monday morning by q

A day two ago / entered a Czech
cafe, in a little frequented part of Prague.
and CHANGED to forget TO take off my hat
Immediately on entering, custom which
prevails almost everywhere in German
speaking countries This was apparently
taken as an insult by the people in the
cafe, and to my surprise l was greeted by
a veritable storm of shouts and Kisses. For
a few moments, having no knowledge OF
the Czech language, i did not realize my
offense, but seeing that they had mistaken
me for a German, and fearing that they
might really attack me, several Ger
mans have been attacked and maltreated
lately, i called out in German, Il am Eng
lish." The effect of the announcement was
instantaneous, and the tumult Immediate

waiter, who told me that pig and dog"
We're among the polite epithets the Czechs
had shouted at me when they mistook my
nationality.

the judge.
Il mean that I'll reform and won't touch

Now, your honor" said her counsel At
torney Kicks, this poor woman had some
misfortune, and, as many good people do,
she tried to drown her sorrow by drinking
whisky"
'.If you have any idea Of reforming L am
certainly going to help you out" Judge
Scott told her. LAS you live with your
mother. you will not have much trouble
reforming This is the, beginning of the
new year and l would advise that you re-
main at home, out of the way OF tempta-
TONS"
