AT the BilOV.

The old adage of "The countenance is
the index to the man" is most aptly ex-
eEplifed in Geo. w. Monroe, who will
be seen at the Bijou next week in his
new comedy "Mrs. B. O'Shaughnessey"
(wash LADY,. George w. Monroe is a
comedian in every accepted sense of the
word, and most original one, who
has never been guilty of copying a
character or situation, or plagiarizing
an idea. He is absolutely original in
evcrything-character, makeup and de-
lineation. In his new comedy, "Mrs. B.
O'Shaughnessey," creation is present
ed which stands to-day as one of the
masterpieces of characterization, and
one which will live when memory alone
can trace the existence of its creator.
The comedy is tersely written, void OF
vulgarity or any attendant effort to OBJ
tain a laugh by suggestive methods.
The music is tuneful and embraces
many ditties that are sure to become
local favorites, and the specialties are oi
exceptional merit.

1.-The Catholic High School.

The Catholics of Minneapolis are
soon to see consummated hope, which,
though long deferred, has never been
abandoned. A high school for boys to
be conducted by the Christian Brothers
is to be opened in this city on Sept. I.
The King property on Nicollet Island
has been purchased, and plans have
been drawn for handsome brick struc-
turc to cost $4,000.
The Catholic population of Mime
apolis is large and prosperous. 1t gives
liberal support to many excellent pa
rochial schools, and that it will main
tain with credit the muc1l-needed high
school is expected as matter of course.
The money to be expended on the
school will be raised by subscription.
Last Sunday it was announced from the
various Catholic pulpits of the city that
the assessment was to be levied, and
some of the parishes have already raised
the required tax. Thus encouraged, the
promoters of the worthy project are tire
less in their efforts to advance the work
and make the completion of the school
by Sept. certainty.
The site selected for the school is an
admirable one. Although almost in the
center OF the city, the island school will
be quite apart from the turmoil and traf-
fc OF the city streets. The tract pur-
chased is 100 by 133 feet. This will
afford ample space for recreation
ground, and should it become necessary
to enlarge the school building, addi-
tons may be made without encroach-
ing on the ground reserved for lawn
and play ground.

Margaret L. Shepherd, the obscene
lecturess, is meeting great obstacles in
her peregrinations since she spoke at
Century hall in this city In Duluth, the
former hotbed of A. P. A.-ism, she could
get no hall wherein to pour out her
filthy vomitings against Catholics. At
Des Moines she was denied the use of
the hall owned by "Our Circle Club, y
ia leading Jewish organization, though
she had engaged it. When the Jews
learned the nature of her TRADE they
broke their contract. All honor to the
Hebrews! The lessee OF Century hall
in this city has already ascertained that
it does not pay to rent it for immoral
purposes. On the suggestion OF Father
Cleary the Ben Franklin Debating Club
left the desecratcd auditorium for Har-
monia hall until the premises are thor
oughly dcodorized.

law in force when the trial is had, even
though the establishment and organiza-
ton Of courts must be awaited before the
trial can be had.
For many months prior to the treaty
of peace with Spain, as before stated
the military forces of the United States
held and occupied the island of Porto
Rico by force OF arms, as conquered ter
ritory, forming military department,
governed by military law, administered
through military tribunals, according to
the usages OF war, and the orders in
force. 1t devolved upon the military
commander in power to govern the
inhabitants, and to punish their crimes.
But such occupation and jurisdiction
was temporary, and ended with the res
toTation OF peace, and the cession of the
island to the United States, making it
part OF the domain OF that country, and
under its constitution subject to all the
powers OF the general government. Then
the war being ended, the jurisdiction oi
military tribunals over civilians would
cease.-Ex parte Milligan, 4 Wall. 9.
The petitioner, Rafael Ortiz, was a
civilian, native OF the island of Porto
kico, and had never been in the land or
naval service OF the United States.
Wtl.e the state OF war existed he might
lawfully be tried by military commits
sion for offenses committed, but not
alter peace was established and that
country became a part OF the United
States. 1t is therefore important to de-
tcrminc the date when the war in fact
ended and the treaty OF peace and OF
cess;on went into effect.
A treaty is written contract between
sovereigns; its terms are agreed upon
aud it is signed by plenipotcntiarics or
commissioners, who are the authorized
agents OF the contracting powers. But
after such agreement and signature, it
must be ratified by the governments,
and the exchange OF ratitications con-
stitutes the delivery. Up to that time
it is inchoatc, and may never take effect
as between the contracting sovercigns
the treaty when ratified relates back to
the time OF signing, as the stipulations
then made had reference to then exist
ing conditions. United States VS.. Are
donda, c. Pet. 6OI, 767. But in respect
TO private rights the rule is different,
and as affecting them the treaty docs not
take effect until the exchange of ratifca-
tions. Haver VS.. Nakcr, 9 Wall 80.
Long time may elapsc between the sign
ing OF treaty and the exchange OF rati-
fications. In the case last cited five
years had elapsed. In the meantime al
fairs go on irrespective OF the terms OF
the treaty, and will not be disturbed Ivy
any application Of the doctrine OF rcla~
ton. 1t follows that when the petit
toner was tried by military tribunal,
tie state OF war still in fact existed in
Porto Rico, and that tribunal had juris-
dictinn to try, convict and sentence him
for said alleged offcnsc. The petition
cr's application must therefore be dc
nicd; and he is rcmandcd to the custody
oi tine warden OF the state prison.

The frame building which now occu-

be erected the new school, two-story

The one-sided reports from South

every advantage over the Beers. Just
as we are going to press report comes
that thousands of burghers chased Hut
toms 5000 horsemen last Monday for
several miles. The retreating Beers are
like the Americans in the Revolution.
They retreat and then return unexpec-
tedly to the attack. They are destroying
bridges and culverts on the Pretoria
railroad, and keeping supplies from
