 WASHINGTON .F4bs4 9-For some reason the be!ief prevails in this oity that the supreme court will hand down. a decision in tn colonial cases on Monday next This may, of course be only all idle rumor or it may be correct. Naturallyi no one ontside of the court is supposed to know wien a decision in any given case is to be rendered, but is a matter of fact, information as to Important decisions generally does leak b,it8tot only as tof the date Of rendering but also as to the result and some times the actual text of the opinions in the matter The income tax decision of few years ago, for instance, was haWked around newspaper row for saveral days be fore it was rendered and was sold to at least one paper. Sc r is certainly
 
 courts intentions h. saked out.
 What the decision VI 20 one as yet knows, though many inferences have been based on qlies IS asked by the Justices and rema1ks made by them. Thus Justice Harlan is set down as being certainly opposed to the position of the Administration. He created something of a sensation Friday night by speech in response to toast at the regular monthly meeting of the Loyal Legion. Several members of Congress were present and Representative Moody, of AIassa- chusetts, took down his words. Among other things he said:
 The fathers never intended that this Government should eyer exert any power or authority over any part of the earths surface free from the letter and the spirit of the Constitu- tion.''
 This is consturued to mean that Judge Harlan believes that the Consti- tion follows the flag and to indicate the probable decision of the Supreme Court on that question, another sen tenence in Judge Harlan's speech was. -,H Our government was founded upon the rights of man; founded upon the theory that man had rights as a man. If we enter into this world power busf- ness upon any other theory. We enter 1t for evil and not for good
 This is construed to mean that at least one Justice of the SupremeCo,rt will insist that the Filipinos and other possessions should have the right of citizenship. Still another extract rom his speech was 'the heart of the northern man has grown cold toward the bondmen whom he freed from slavery. The justice amplified this proposition, referring to the in difference of the northern members of Congress to the disfranchisement of the negro voters. of the South. Judge Harlan does not deny that. he used this language, but smiles at the sug gestion that he thereby disclosed the intentions of his colleagues in the cases now pending before them.
 Justice Harlan by the way. is by far the most methodical member of the Supreme Court, and there are said to be many people who time their en- sagements by the appearance of the Justice downtown. His home is in the extreme northwestern part of the city, and it is his invariable custom to walk from his residence to hotel one block east of the Treasury and a distance of two miles from the Harlan home.
 He enters the hotel with an unfail- ing regularity, goes direct to the news - --.EzxyXEExn

Cured Thursday of last week, removes
another of the aged, respected residents
of this town. Although in feeble health
she had been as well as usual until she
suffered an attack of the prevailing dis
temper, from which she had not the
strength to rally, the illness terminating
fatally in a few days. Mrs. Barber had
been a very illustrious woman. OF
CHEEKY, social disposition, she retained
her kindly interest in the welfare of each
friend until the close of her long and
well-lived life. The day of her death was
the birthday anniversary of her husband,
who died last March. She leaves to
mourn her loss two daughters. Mrs. Mary
Nelson and Mrs. Charles Dennison of
Colrain, and one son, George Barber, who
has always lived at home, and with his
wife, has given most tender care to the
aged father and mother. The funeral
was held at the house Sunday Rev. Mr..
Smith of West Halifax officiating, and
1t was largely attended by relatives and
friends from all the surrounding towns.
