THE CRIMES OF COURTS.

Inc late Hon. Charles sumner OF
Massachusetts once delivered the
following scathing remarks ON the
crimes committed by courts on the
rights and liberties of citizens. It
tears away the mask Of sanctity from
the faces Of judges and dissipates
the halo that is supposed to envelope
the courts of the land. Read his
burning words: .......
@Let me say here that / hold
Judges, and especially the Supreme
Court Of the country, in much re-
spect, but am too familiar with the
history Of the judicial proceedings to
regard them with any superstitious
reverence. Judges are but men, and
In all ages have shown fair share of
frailty. Alas! alas! the worst crimes
o. history have been perpetrated
under their sanction. The blood OF
martyrs and Of patriots, crying from
the ground, summons them to judg-
ment.
at was judicial tribunal which
condemned Socrates to drink the
fatal henlock, and which pushed the
Savior barefooted over the pave
ments Of Jerusalem, bending beneath
his cross. it was a judicial tribunal
which, against the testimony and en-
treaties of her father, surrendered
the fair Virginia as slave; which ar
rested the teachings of tho great
apostle to the Gentiles, and sent him
In bonds from Judea to Rome; which,
In the name Of the old religion, ad-
ured the saints and fathers of the
Christian Church to death i'll all it's
dreadful for;Is; nd which, afterward
in the name Of the new religion, en-
forced the fortunes Of the Inquisition
amid the shrieks and agonies of It's
victims, while it compelled Calico to
declare, in solemn denial of The great
truth he had disclosed, that the earth
did not move around the sun.
at was a judicial tribunal which,
in France, during to ing reign OF
her monarchs, lent itself to be the
instrument Of every tyranny, rs dur
ing the brief reign of terror, it did
not hesitate to stand forth the I'M
plying accessory Of the Implying
guillotine. Aye, cir, it was judicial
fr,b nj ~, EnYInrl L.,
all forms Of law, which sanctioned
every despotic caprice of Henry VIII
from the unjust divorce of his queen
to the beheadlng OF Sir Thomas
Moore; which lighted che fires of per-
secutlon that glowed at Oxford and
Smithtield, over the cinders of Lati-
mer, Ridley, and John Rodgers;
which, after elaborate argument, up
held the fatal tyranny of shipmoney
against the patriotic resistance Of
Hampden; which, in defiance of JUS
tice and humanity, sent Sydney and
Russell to the block; which persist.
emily enforced the laws OF conform
ity that our Puritan fathers persist
emily refused to obey; and which, af-
terward, with Jeffreys on the bench,
crimsoned the pages OF English his
tory with massacre and murder, even
with the blood Of innocent women.
"Aye, sir, and it was u judicial tri-
bunal in our country, surrounded by
all the forms Of law, which hanged
witches at Salem, which affirmed the
constitutionallty Of the Stamp Act,
while it admonished jurors and the
people to obey; and which now, In
orr day, has lent it's sanction to the
unutterable atrocity Of the Fugitive
Slave Law" ...

In n decision by the United States
court of appeals in the western district
of North Carolina. says the New York
Sun, it has been virtually declared that
the eastern band of Cherokee Indians
are not citizens of the United States.
Some Of these Indians have been vot-
ing for 80 years. They have more than
once held the balance ofpower between
the two political parties in western
North Carolina. The chief question in
volved is the right of the eastern band
of Cherokee Indians to sell the timber
from land for which it hollis q deed.
The decision Of the court is that the
band has no right to make any con-
tract whatever without the sanction Of
the United States government. The
court says the eastern band did not
become citizens by virtue of the treaty
of New Echota in 1885. 1t is remarkable
that the court in It's decision ignored
the case upon which the defendants
mainly relied, that OF the case of the
eastern band Of Cherokee Indians
against the western band, decided by
the supreme court of the United States,
lit u. S. Rep, wherein Justice Field
held that the members of the eastern
band were citizens.

Grippe

If you have had the
Grippe, you know its aches
and pains, the fever, the
chills, the cough, the de-
preston. The Grippe ex-
hausts the nervous system
quickly, lowers the vitality.
Two things should be done
at once:-the body most be
strengthened, and force most
be given to the nervous sys-
tenn. Cod-livcr oil will do
the first; Hypophosphites
the second. These are per-
manent1y combined in
SCOTS Emulsion.
But you can put your sys-
tenn in a condition unfavor-
able to 1t. You can have
rich blood, and resistive
strength. SCOTS Emulsion
prevents as we'll as cures.

OYSTER GROWING IN A BOTTLE.
Interesting Curiosity Found In the
-, Rapphhnnnock River. t.a


D. NJ. Nelson, agent of theaWeems
Steamboat company at Urbana, on the
Rappaharnock river, lately brought up
to Baltimore curiosity discovered by
him which has created considerable&in-
terest among steamboat people about
Light street wharf, reports the Balti-
more American. 1t is live oyster of
large size growing out of the
mouth of a yeast powder bot
tie, which was found on the
shore of the Rappahannock river. The
oyster is considerably larger than the
bottle, and only a small portion is in
side. Upon the sides of the bottle are
several small oysters of tiny size, firm
ly fastened there. Mr.. Nelson has
brought up story more wonderful
than his oysters, and for which there
has as yet been no evidence produced.
1t is of an old gentleman who lives near
Urbana, and who, so the story goes,
while bathing during the summer lost
a set Of false teeth, which floated away
or went to the bottom. Lately, while
dredging, an FISHERMAN brought up to
the surface n pair of false teeth
around which number of oysters
were clinging, some of them of good
size, and fastened on firmly. The old
gentleman promptly identified his
teeth, and keeps them as curiosity.

 Bert gets things backward when he says that he was in the guard house two weeks. The truth would be nearer told to say he was out Of the gard house two weeks. He was put in there for going to Chatta- nooga without permission and stay ing for several days, for being in- toxicatee, and for swearing at one of the Lieutenants. Bert also erIs when he says that he was honor ably discharged. On the contrary his discharge states: "A dishonest and worthless soldier.
 It would be unnecessary to make these statements to those who know Bert. But at this time people are ever ready to give ear to adverse criticisms ofpeople ill authority, and these statements are published in justice to a young officer of ability and military instincts.

AN EMPRESS STABBED AT HER HOTEL tBY AN AM ARCHlST WHO WAS
 ARRESTED.
Was A Terrible Crime.
Brief Sketch of the Woman Whose Life Was Thus Sacrificed at the whim
 of a Human Fiend

Geneva, Switzerland, September 10.-The Empress of Austria was assassinated at the Hotel Beauri- wage this evening by an anarchist who was arrested. He stabbed her majesty with stilletto.
 It appears that her majesty was walking from the hotel to tne land ing place of the steamer at o'clock when an Italian anarchist suddenly approached and stabbed her in the heart. The empress fell, got up again and was carried to the steamer unconscious. The boat started, but seeing the empress had not recovered consciousness the captain returned and the empress was carried to the Hotel Beaurav- age, where she expired.
 The murderer is a man named Lucchoni. He was born in Paris of Italian parents.
 The Empress of Austria was born December 21. 1887. She was the daughter of Duke Macmillan of Ba- varia, and married Francis Joseph emperor of Austria, king of Hun gary, April 24, 1854 They had three children-Archduches Gisola, who married CPrince Luitpold, Ba- varia; Archduke Rudolph, who married Princess Stephanie, Bel gium, and who was seemingly as sassinated in 1889, and Archduchess Maria Valeria, who married Arch- duke Franz Salvador, Austria, Tus- cany. The late empress was an en- 1 thusiastic horsewoman.

WHOLESOME HDVlcE
For People Whose Stomach S Are Weak and Digestion
 Poor.

Dr. Harlandson, whose opinion in d seases is worthy of attention, says when man comes to me complain ing of indigestion, loss of appetite, sour stomach, belching, sour watery- risings. headaches, sleeplessness, lack of ambition and a general run down nervous condition I advise them to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, allowing the tablet to dissolve in the mouth, and thus mingle with the food eaten. The result is that the food is speedily digested before it has time to sour and ferment. These tablets will digest food any,
 way whether the stomach wants to or not, behuse they 9ntain harmless digestive principles, vegetable es- sences, pepsin and Golden Seal which supply just what the weak stomach lacks.
 I have advised the tablets with
 great success. both in curing indi-
 gestion and to build up the tissues
 increasing flesh in thin nervous pa tients. whose real trouble was dys- pepsia and as soon as the stomach was put to lights they did not know what sickness was.
 A fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be bought at any drug store, and as they are not a secret patent medicine, they car be used as often as desired with full | assurance that they contain noth- ling harmful in the slightest degree; on the contrary, anyone whose stomach is at all deranged will fint great benefit from the use of Stuart'G Dyspepsia tablets. They will cure ! " form of stomach weakness ol l disease except cancer Of thestomach I Full size packages at druggists 90 and $1 or by mail from Stuart Co. I Marshall, Mich.

Friend Meyer
 1 suppose you have been wondering why l have not written you the promised descriptive letter about the resort which am visiting but have been very busy enjoying the many pleasures that it affords, and the days pass so quickly until ] found myself breaking a promise.
 Oeonomowoe, or the "eitY of lakes" as it is called, lies beautifully arranged between two lakes, Fowler and La Belle, both are fresh water lakes of an ordinary size with hardly any inlet, and but little outlet, being fed by numerous springs. These lakes afford all the sports and pleas ures which the visitors seek. Abound these magnificent lakes are many homes built by the wealthy Glass of people that come for rest, and to escape the heat of a city. l will endeavor to give you an idea how one of these elegant summer resi- dences lis arranged, lyon drive in between two immense iron gates supported by huge stone pillars with the name of the inn inscribed thereon leach inn has some peculiar name to distinguish it from others, as the Anchorage. '4 The drive in the interior is fine, the roads are graveled, and on each side are differ ent varieties of trees neatly and dis tantly arranged, and the lawn pre- sents green appearance with en occasional flower bed. The grounds include 20 30. acres, ,and the home ie directly iI- the center. You would imagine that you were driving to a castle if you draw your conclusions from the many beautiful sights you see before approaching, but to your surprise you woulo see only q plain two story frame building; really you would wonder why they have HuCA lItlA uOI1aGS W l4Ch tHtit DetA dt7 and othe. petty buildings are equally as pretty, the entrance leading outis simple, and the scenery is generally displayed in the front. Oconomo- woe is thirty miles from Milwaukee on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul road,it is thrifty little North. ern town of 2500 inhabitants, very lively in the summer when the visit ors are here, but very much different in the winter when the visitors have departed and the hotels are closed The weather here is pleasant and cool. the ethermometern never registers higher in summer than S5,o and as low as 55,o but the winters are very severe here like all other NortherE cities.

AN ELECTION BET.
In Which Two Popular Female Dry Goods
 Clerks Are The Principals.

Whenever the ladies take an ;n- terest in the election you know it is warm one.
 Well, in our recent sherifality election. two charming young belles, who clerk in the same store. became involved in such heated dis cussions over the contest that it became necessary for the floor walker to Quell the disturbance by threatening to present each with her walking papers.
 Our reporter had occasion to stop
 ne day and overheard the follow ing dispute;
 "Yes, Mr. Bell is going to win, nitl"
 "Just wait until election day and you will change your tune. ,
 "Oh, yes, I know why you are pulling for Mr. Bell. Because he is 1A AIAol iCQ daQ uduQSOIDG.
 "Yes, he may be. but be is going to stop McCoy's clock on September ;.
 "How much money have you got to bet be will?"
 You have been blufing me enough. 1 will see If you are game. l will bet you my months salary. s25, to $5 that Bell is the next sheriff.
 "It's a go.e
 And both damsels proceeded to the rear Of the store, made draw on the book-keeper, and he held stakes.
 On election day the lady who put up $25 on Bell, made the remark that "she hadn't seen Mccoy car rage pass the door and she was a sure winner" :" One of the male clerks went short distance up the street, stopped Mccoy rig, filled It with ten negroes and told them to yell Mccoy" when they drove past the store. This scene was a great success and worked to perfec- tion.
 The lady who had five on Bell, upon seeing the Mccoy crowd. ran to the lady who bet on Mccoy. and asked If she could withdraw her money. After half days disput- ing the money was returned, and now the fair damsels "dont speak as they pass by"
