though this will be the first time the
play has been presented in this city. its
reputation has preceded It, II is 10 he
gwen under the direction Of Managers
Ihail u Kennedy. 1t is to be farcical
play on the same order as "a Man
From Mexico What Happened to
Jones' and My Friend From India -
written by Sidney Wilmer and Walter
vincent. and has scored such triumph
that future efforts of these gentlemen
viii be looked for with avidlty. For
ten weeks "A Stranger in n Strange
Land" kept The metropolis last season
laughing and crowded the Manhattan
Theatre.
Perhaps one of the greatest reasons
OF its success comes from its being en-
tirely free from any suggestiveness,
such as taints the French tarces with
which the country has been surfeited
for two seasons. 1t is clean, pure and
wholesome In its fun and yet broadly
farcical.

Supreme Court of Georgia
IMlN 10Th. 1000.

July 10th, 1900.
THE POWER TO PUNISH CON
TEMPTS is INHERENT IN EVERY
COURT OF RECORD. IF THE
COURT is. CREATED BY THE
CONSTITUTION THE LEGISLA-
TURE CANNOT LIMIT IT'S JURIS-
DiCTION AS TO CONTEMPTS.
The court says:
The power to punish for contempts is
Inherent in every court of justice. 1t
Is absolutely necessary that Il court
should possess this power In order that
Il may carry on the administra ton of
justice. and preserve order and deco
rum In the court. AS far as we can
ascertain, this power has existed since
courts were first established. Judge
Wilmot. in 1895, in treatise upon the
subject. said he had been unable TO find
where it was first exercised, but, in his
opinion 1t was as old as the courts
themselves. All the courts in their de-
cisions, and all the text writer's, lay
down the same doctrine,-that this
power is necessary to all courts and
is inherent in them. 1t is so well
established that we deem ii unneces-
sary to cite authorities upon the sub
iect. This power being inherent and
necessary, can the Legislature, by de-
flning what arc contempts. limit the
courts to treating as contempts such
acts olny as are embraced in the legiS-
lativc definition? In the formation Of
our government. Federal and State the
three departments of government were
in each constitution ordained to be
separate, distinct and independent of
each other No one of them had any
right or power to infringe upon the
power or jurisdiction Of the other with
out an express constitutional provision
granting this right or power. The leg
fslature cannot take away. restrict, or
modify any of the powers conferred by
the constitution upon the executive.
Nor can either the Legislative or cXecu-
tive abridge the powers conferred by
the constitution upon the courts. unless
express authority is given. Each of
these departments represents the Sow
ereignty of the people. Indeed the en-
ecutive the legislative and the judi
ciary are but the servants and agents
OF the people. To each department the
people have given certain powers. and
have declared that neither of the other
departments shall interfere herewith.
The people have intrusted these SER
wants or agents with the duty of car
rying out their will. and for that pur-
pose. iii one of these departments. they
have, by their organic law, established
certain. courts. Among these. are the
superior courts. When these courts
were established by the constitution
they We a established with all the
rights and powers possessed by all
courts of record prior to that time
Among these powers was that of defin:
Ing and Furnishing contempts of court
