The U. S. Supreme Court
Decides an important
sz '.i
Case.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Opinsons
We're rendered in the Uurted
States supreme court yesterday
in the last two of the inSular test
cases. One of them was that
known as the Fourteen diamond
ring case, Involving the Irelation-
ship of the United States to the
Philippine Islands from a tariff
point of view and the other what
is known as the Dooiey case No.
,, involving the cOnStitutienaiity
of the collection of duty on goods
shipped from New York to Porto
Rico. In the former case the
court, through Justice Fuller,
held that the diamond rings
brought in from the Philippines,
and over which the case arose
should have been exempt from
duty under the Paris treaty, as
that treaty made the Philippines
American territory.
The decision in the Philippines
case followed closely that of the
first Porto Rican case of last
term.
In the second Dooley case, it
was held that the duty collected
on goods carried from New York
to Porto Rico was permissible,
but that it was in reality a tax
for the benefit of the Porto Rican
| them selves rather than an export
duty as was claimed by the mer-
chants who antagonized the gov
ernment in the case.

Stealing . Steam Whlstl3.

A gentleman who has steam mill
In Waldo, Mass, purchased a large
steam whistle, which he carried home
and placed on his mill. A number Of
boys conceived the idea Of stealing
this whistle-''just for a lark" they
said. The owner, hearing Of their
plan, remained in his mill all night.
Sixty pounds of steam was kept up.
About midnight the boys put in an
appearance and climbed upon the roof
Of the building. Just as one applied
3 wrench to the whistle, Mr.. Sanborn
opened the throttle wide and there
went up into the stiffness Of the night
such a screech as was never before
heard in Waldo. People jumped from
their beds in a fright and wondered
what was up. The boys tumbled of
the roof OF that mill as though shot,
and departed as rapidly rs their legs
could carry them, while Mr.. Sanborn
fred a gun after them to hasten their
retreat The whistle is still on the
mill.

him glass OF buttermilk of her OWL

marriage to "Old Anse," the former
baseball celebrity.
Mrs. Arson remembers that when
she was girl there was constant dan

Indians. One favorite plan on the
part of the savages was to cover them.
