A good story is told of the clever man
ner in which Justice Harlan managed 10
give a tip on the insular decision to his
golf friend, Solicitor General Richards,
says a Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record-Herald. About an hour
before the court met Justice Harlan walk
ed into Mr.. Richards office at the De-
partment of Justice. He said he was on
his way to the court.
Some important business to-day?" re-
marked the solicitor general.
Say" replied the big justice. did you
ever hear the story of the calf and the
knot hole down in Kentucky?"
Mr. Richards confessed he had never
heard it, but would be pleased to listen
well" said Justice Harlan, pausing
10 take another chew of tobacco, two
men were going along by cow-pen one
day and they saw calfs tail sticking
out toward them through a knot-hole
in the fence. That is wonderful
thing said one of the men. 1 don't see
anything wonderful about IT. replied the
other; ITS nothing but calf's tail
sticking through a knot-hole.' We'll,
sir persisted the other. L have Travelled
all oyer the world. and I've never seen
a more wonderful thing than that What
in the deuce is so wonderful about it?'
asked his friend. What is wonderful
about 1t? What is WOndertulE 1t Is this
how in the name Of the great horn
spoon did that calf get through that knot
holeT
Justice Harlan had a good laugh at his
own story, and as he went away to the
Capitol the solicitor general turned to
his assistant and remarked:
1.-The court is for the government and
Justice Harlan is in the dissent"
While Justice Brown was reading the
decision of the court in the DeLima case
in which the government lost on a minor
point. Justice Harlan kept his eye on
Solicitor General Richards. There was a
merry twinkle in it. Finally he called a
page and sent note down to his golf
companion, who was sitting soberly at
the bar. The note readi
Now you see the calfs tail"
At this the face of the solicitor general
frightened little, and he went out into
the lobby and told afternoon correspond
ents they would make a mistake If they
sent out reports to the effect that the
government had lost the case. When he
returned to the courtroom Justice Brown
was reading the majority opinion in the
famous Downes case. Justice Harlan's
eyes were still tvinkling. In a few mo-
ments. before Justice Brown had reached
the pith OF his decision. another note
came down from the bench TO the now
happy solicitor general. II read:
Now you see how the calf got through
the knot-hole."

A rather remarkable display OF senti-
ment was exhibited at Newport, r. l., the
other day. June IS is the anniversary of
the memorable meeting of the old Kear-
sarge and Alabama off Cherbourg, France.
On Wednesday last. June 10, the new
Kearsarge was at Newport and the new
Alabama was scheduled 40 arrive there.
But Admiral Higginson did not care to
have the vessels bearing these historic
names have their first meeting upon
the anniversary day of the famous bat
tie, so he held the Alabama out at sea I'M
ill the following morning. THE officers
OF the Kesrsarge celebrated the day in
honor of the anniversary" says the New
York SUMS dispatch, which adds, and
this could not have been done with pro-
priety IL the Alabama had been in port"
II is a little difficult to understand the
latter part OF the sentence. The ship
that now bears the name of Alabama is
not of the Confederate navy. She is just
as much under abe flag of the United
States as is the Kearsarge. Can It be
that the officers and men OF the new Ala

The summer hotel proprietor who can
engage her for the season will have no
difficulty in filling all of his rooms. As an
anti-mosquito remedy she would be worth
barrels of kerosene oil.

Gen. Chaffee's report respecting the OPP
erations of the allied Powers in China
is sufficient to make the heart of the
humane man heavy as lead in his bosom.
1T is safe to say he says, that where
one real Boxer has been killed since
the capture of Pekin, fifty harmless COOL
les or laborers on farms, including not a
few women and children, have been
slain" And this is the work Of the CIV
ilized," the Christian" Powers among
the heather! They have apparently pro-
ceeded upon the idea, contrary to the
teachings of the great religion they pro-
fess to follow, that it is better that ninety
and nine innocent should suffer than
that one guilty should escape. 1t ap-
pears from Gen. Chaffee's version OF the
affair that for about three weeks follow
ing the arrival of the relief column at
Pekin the situation abounded in all Of
the worst, most abominable features Of
war; and upon the harmless and innocent
subjects of a government with which the
Powers were nominslly at peace. 1t is
enough to make one all but despair Of
our boosted civilization. as exemplified by
the Europeans. Happily Gen. Chaffee
gives assurance that the American troops
had little part in the orgies of blood and
crime; that they were promptly placed I'M
der restraint. They did some looting,
no doubt. but the information is that they
did not disgrace their uniform as the
soldiers of some of the other allies did.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Nashville American CDem) says:
Senator Morgan of Alabama. is quoted
as an advocate of woman suffrage. his
contention is that white women should
be allowed to vote, while black women
should be denied the privilege; that such
law would not conflict with the fifteenth
amendment of the Federal Constitution.
which had IN mind only male voters. and
which. therefore, does not apply to wo-
men. An ordinance to allow white wo.
men to vote has been introduced in the
Alabama Constitutional Convention. Per-
haps the idea is to eliminate the negro
vote and give substance to the undimin-
ished vote and Democratic maJorities by
counting the female voters. The women

and comply with his regulations. These
dealers think they have the right to
buy the tobacco in the fields and sell it
from their stores because they have
paid the one tax of Sc year. This lille
gal practice the internal revenue au-
thorities now intend to break up, and
any one wishing to sell leaf tobacco,
who is not a grower of said tobacco,
must comply with all the conditions of
the law as a registered manufacturer.
BY this means only can the collector
keep track of the tobacco raised in his
district, and prevent fraud and evasion
of the law. While perhaps the amount
of tax involved is not very large, it is
important, as otherwise no account of
the tobacco grown can be kept. Unless
the law is enforced it would be possible
for the tobacco to be sold to these Chi
nese and Japs, who can further evade
the law by packing cigars in boxes
upon which a stamp has already been
placed and used, but not cancelled.
Now that a public warning has been
given, the internal revenue authorities
intend to prosecute any person or per-
sons found violating the law.

French Newspaper Sets Forth Some
Facts as to His Eventful Career.
In paper published in the south of
France Is found an amusing account of
the early life and exploits of Col. Bryan.
The story, 1t appears, was written by
the Paris correspondent of the provin-
cial paper. and Is based, so the writer
AYERS, on information furnished by
friends of the candidate who have been
prominent at the French capital.
The Western wag who filled the
Frenchman so full of new and startling
Information must have smiled to himself
as he read in cold print the statement
that m. lie Col. Bryan first came into
fame as one of the strange, half-savage
band of cowboys who roamed over the
Far West fighting the Indians and wild
beasts. Initiating, perhaps the custom
of the Indian chiefs, each of the cow
boys bore a nickname based on some of
his exploits as a hunter or fighter Thus

but brave and sturdy comrades was Sill

Chicago in 1896. Col. Bryan went out of

THE HIGH HAT TABOOED.

To make your appearance in certain
parts of Bohemia in high silk hat is
said to be distinctly dangerous. You
would not only have it knocked off and
trampled out of shape, but also stand
a good chance Of being knocked out Of
shape yourself. This hatred of the tall
hat els due to the fact that it Is more
commonly worn in Vienna and other
German portions Of the empire than
outside Germanic Austria. The Czechs
and the other races that make up the
dominion of the Emperor Francis
Joseph object to the Proclamation of
the German and show their hatred by
assailing the tall hat and, of course,
in other ways
