SUPREME COURT MEETS.
Formal beginning of Work by That
Judicial Body.

Washington, Oct. S.--The United States
supreme court convened, Mr.. Justice
Gray and Mr.. Justice McNenna being
absent. No motions except for admission
to practice We're entertained.
Attorney General Griggs, Solicitor
General Richards, ex-Attorney General
Wayne MacVeagh and a number of 9th
er distinguished lawyers were present to
witness the formal opening of the court.
Chief Justice Fuller announced that no
motions except those for admission to
practice before the court would be enter
tanned. About 90 lawyers from various
states We're admitted to practice. The
session lasted only seven minutes.
The number of cases on the calendar
at the opening of the court was 437, 134
having been added during the recess.
This is % more cases than were upon the
calendar at the opening of the court a
year ago.
Next Monday Solicitor General Rich
ards of the department of justice will
submit motion relative to the Neely
case now pending before the court on an
appeal from the decision of Judge Wal
lace Of New York, denying n writ of ha-
beas corpus. The motion probably will
be to advance the case. The department
of justice is very anxious to secure de-
cision upon the main question involved
viz. the constitutionality of the law I'M
der which it is proposed to extradite Nee
ly TO Cuba.
Under a recent act of congress Solic-
itor General Richards will move for the
dismissal of the suits brought against
The states Of North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Florida and Louisiana to recover
the amount Of certain bonds issued W.
those states and held by the United
States. The bonds were issued before
the civil war; and the controversy Over
them is Of long standing. The amount
involved Is over $i0000o0 The motion
to dismiss will be made in accordance
with the specific direction Of congress.

The great game of baSe ball Of the
police came off ut last on OimaA kel-
| leN's green soddGd yard yesterday after
noon. 1t almost makes the soul weep
and the heart cry tears to think how
those west end boys were rained under.
| The musical sWatting of the bats by
Sergeant Lucas men will be heard no
more this season. 1t was certainly blue
Monday for Dams boys as they were
unable to connect with Mickey's curves.
The spectators and police are highly
elated over the excellent music the Fer
ris Industrial School Band rendered.
Massey played the game of his life,
having fifteen put outs. Jake" Payne
had a bum lamp. He was unable to see
the ball. If Colonel Rodgers hears of
Bowman he will have him on the Quak-

he got so dsgusted that he quit playing

Who is that man Burchinal: played
the game of his life leaving every ball

paper.
The. phenomnal pitcher Hawk when
he first started to pitch made the people
think the ball was coming out of a can
non. but the lad could not keep it up as
eight runs We're made off him in the
third inning.
McAteer is credited with having
played n good game at third but we do
not know how he would have done if he
had been on the diamond.
Paul Kruger had sent his mascot
Barr who stopped everything from a
ball to bull. Sheehy did wonderful
in disguise. Hyland had an electric bnt.
tery at first base to give signals and
stop the balls that were thrown TO him.
There was a rumor on the field that
Eakin would be an easy thing on account
of his legs but he proved different. Mo-
ran had but one chance and that was a
star catch.
Hancock is new on the force and new
on the field so his playing dare not be
discussed
White cap Freeman was the star
runner. "Pugy" Lucas had awful diff
ficulty getting his body around second
base but let people know he was in the
game.

about the lead pipe cinch he had.
