Decisions of the Supreme Court Hand
ed Down Today.
Justice Brown handed down the opin-
ion Of the United States Supreme Court
today in the case of Elizabeth Wetzel
and others against the Minnesota Railway
and Transfer Company, involving title to
16O acres of land within the limits of the
city of st. Paul The land in controversy
was located upon a land warrant issued
in 1877 to Mrs. Wetzel and minor children,
as the widow and heirs Of a man named
Remsen. who had served in the Mexican
war. This warrant was sold to a
ramed Taylor who located the land. 1t
appears, however, that when Mrs. Wet
Eel, then Mrs. Remsen, made the sale of
the warrant she did not have the consent
of an orphans court to dispose Of the
interest of her children. 1t appearing,
however, that the title of present owners
had not been attacked until forty years
after the transfer was made, the court
held that it was now too late to attack 1t.
Justice Brown said that when the trans
fer was first made the land involved was
not worth to exceed $500, but that now.

improvements. it was valued at not less
than a million dollars. The purchasers
from Taylor had bought under his patent

The decision of that court was against

Appraisers Sustained.
The Supreme Court delivered an opinion
in the case of the United States against
Alexander Murphy ct al. The case in
volved the cor struction of the tariff act
of 1890 in relation to worsteds. Murphy
& Company imported certain merchandise,
consisting of women's and children's dress
goods, composed of worsteds. The col
lector classified 1t and assessed it for duty
under paragraph 395 OF that law, the rate
being l. cents per yard and 30 per cent
advalorem. The importers protested, claim
ing the merchar else to be dutiable at the
rate of 40 or 90 per cent advalorem, &C
cording to value under paragraph 2S3. The
importers protested and the board Of APP
praisers overruled the protest. The cir
cult court reversed this verdict and was
sustained by the circuit court of appeals
for the second circuit. Thus, both courts
decided in favor of the importers for the
lower rate. Today's decision reversed the
courts and sustained the board of APP
praisers, making worsteds dutiable at the
higher rate The effect of the opinion is
to include worsteds in paragraph $50 COW

the right spot, while enjoying the feast or
oratory that continues the entire evening.
For years this debate has been a time
honored custom, in fact, since 1870. when
the late Judge Richard Merrick of this
city, wishing to arouse greater interest
among the students of Georgetown, con-
corning vital questions of the dsy, and at
the same time turn their attention toward
the study OF eloQuence, of which he him
self was such an able exponent, founded
the Merrick medal. The uni verS'ty was en-.
dowed with a sufficient sum OF money to
purchase the handsome medal which the
founder wished to give, and ever since tina,
time the medal has annually been awarded
to some fortunate student For student
to win this medal is considered by all con :
nected with the university as Of the
most notable achievements In his career st
college.
The contestants for this medal, four in
number. are annually chosen from the
members of the Philodemic Society, the
Oldest organization of its kind at George
town. 1t was founded in 1890 and has
for it's primary objects. as it's constitu-
ton states, the cultivation of truth. elo-
quence and liberty. If the measure Of its
success in the pursuit OF these noble aims
may be determined by the number of
names on its roll, which have since be-
come famous and illustrious, 1t is justi-
fable in characterizing its success in these
earlier years as remarkable. Besides be-
Ing the Oldest society In the college IL
is the most important and distinguished.
The president of the society is always a
member Of the faculty, but the vice pres
ident is chosen by the members Of the
organization.
Senator Mallory of Florida, at the So
ciety's annual banquet last year. in the
course Of his address. said that when he
was student at Georgetown, ito be elect
ed vice president of the Philodefnic So
ciety was considered an honor second only
to the presidency Of the college" The
honor this year is held by Mr.. Edward
]. Brady of Garrett Park. Md, who Is a
member of the class of '9s. He has also
been chosen to represent the society in
the debate which will occur tomorrow.
The Contestants.
The contestants for the Merrick medal,
as before stated, are selected entirely from
the ranks Of the Philodenic Society, and
limited to four in number. This number
is regarded as about right, and the selec-
ton Of the contestants is made on just
and equitable basis. This year the society
elected Edward ]. Brady, 'JS, first affirm
