Not What It Was Supposed to Be.

Here's something for you.' said man
who called at the third police station Sun
day night and left a basket on the floor.
Desk Sergeant Hinkie left his seat and
walked to where the man had deposited the
basket. thinking 1t probably contained a
contribution for the poor. Lifting a news
paper covering, he saw what he supposed
was the body OF an infant. To find the
man was the next thing In order. and this
the officers on duty tried to do, but with
out success.
Being unable to find the individual who
left the basket, more careful examina-
ton was made, when II was found to con-
tain the dead body of very young colt.
The incident was closed when the dead ami
NAL wagon called and the corpse was re-
moved.

THE LOTTERY CASES UP
REARGUED BEFORE THE ST.
PREME COURT.
Power of the Government to Suppress
the Traffic Involved-Mr.
Beck's Argument.

The so-called lottery cases were rear
rued Yesterday in the Supreme Court. They
were first argued in October, 1901, and
reargument was had in April, 1902. On ac-
count of Justice Grays death further re-
argument was ordered, which was begun
yesterday. The cases are important ones,
as the ability to prevent lotteries in this
country may depend upon the final decision.
While the power of the government to ex-
clude lottery matter from the mails has
been sustained. yet the business was con-
Quoted through the agency Of the express
companies To prevent this Congress, In
1895 passed an act which prohibited the
carriage or transfer by any means Of lot
terry matter from state to state
Under this act two arrests were made,
one for conveying lottery matter by the
Wells-Fargo Express Company from Texas
to California, and in the other case the
defendant was arrested for carrying lot
terry ticket from Newport. Ky, to Cincin-
natl Ohio. The validity of these arrests
Is the point involved in these cases, and
apart from the ability 10 suppress lotteries
the cases are believed to be very important
as defining the nature and extent OF the
federal power over interstate commerce.
John G. Carlisle and VIM d. Guthrie OF
the New York bar, Judge Outcalt of Gin
clunau and Moritz Rosenthal of Chicago
represented the lottery companies. They
contended that lottery tickets are not ar
tcles OF commerce, and that their carriage
from state to state Is not commerce within
the meaning OF the federal Constitution.
They argued that lottery tickets are analo-
gous TO insurance policies. to which the
court had decided that they were not ar
ticles OF commerce. They further contended
that even II the carriage of lottery tickets
were interstate commerce. that the power
TO regulate" under the Constitution was
not broad enough to include the power 10
prohibit" altogether.
Mr.. Beck's Contention.
Assistant Attorney General James NJ.
Beck. who represented the government. ar
gued that the carriage OF these tickets was
commerce. He oontended that commerce
meant intercourse In its broadest signihca:
ton. and that therefore, the mere transit
OF individuals from state 10 state Is inter-
state commerce. In any event, he con-
tended, that the carriage or conveyance Of
things from state to state by any means Of
transportation Is itself commerce. He fur
60 the character OF the thing carried as
transportation It itself commsrce, He fur
Their contended that lottery tickets are ar
ticles OF commerce. He argued that the
history Of the Constitution clearly showed
that Commerce was something more than
traffic. and meant all character of inter-
course between one nation or state and
another, and that Its regulation clearly In
cluded the right to prohibit.

has seen at to require three oral argu-

AT FIRST
GLANCE
It Would Appear That Local Remedies
Would Be Best for Cure of catarrh.

1t would seem at first glance that
catarrh being a disease Of the mucous
membrane, that saves. sprays, etc.
being applied directly to the mem.
branes of the nose and throat, would
be the most rational treatment but
this has been proven not to be true
The mucous membrane is made and
repaired from the blood and catarrh
is a blood disease and any remedy to
make a permanent cure must act on
the blood, and when the blood is pur.
ified from catarrhal poison, the sec.
retions from the mucous membrane
will be come natural and healthy
In this climate, thousands of people
seem scarcely ever free from some
form Of catarrh; It gets better at
times but each winter becomes grad.
ually deeper seated and after atime
the sufferer resigns himself to It as
a necessary evil
Catarrh cures are almost as numer.
GUS as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly
all SO inconvenient and ineffective as
to render their use a nuisance nearly
as annoying as catarrh itself; any
one who has used douches, sprays and
powders will bear witness to their
inconvenience and, failure to really
cure.
There are a number Of excellent in.
ternal remedies for catarrh, but prob.
ably the best and certainly the safest
is a new remedy, composed of Red
Gum, Blood Root and similar anti
catarrh specifics.
This remedy is in tablet form, pleas.
ant to the taste and sold by druggists
under the name OF Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, and anyone suffering from
catarrh may use these tablets with
absolute assurance that they contain
no cocaine, opiate nor any poisonous
mineral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany speak.
ing of catarrh cures says: 81 have
sold various catarrh cures for years
but have never sold any which gave
such general satisfaction as Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets. They contain in a
pleasant concentrated form all tho
best and latest catarrh remedies, and
catarrh sufferers, who have used
douches, sprays and salves, have been
astonished at the quick relief and per.
manent results obtained after a weeks
use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets" All

CHANGES IN FASHION.
Ways In which n Last Years Gown
Can he Altered.


There Is a marked change i'm the
fashion of skirts as we'll as I'm that of
bodices. 1t has been threatened for
some time past, but the authorities are
keeping to graceful, becoming lines
and only occasionally do we see the
very wide skirt, and little fullness to
the skirt is a decided improvement;
put women, particularly the stout ones,
should beware of many folds and shir.
rings around the hips. Some of the
prettiost models of the hour, however,
though more trimmed, have the skirts
fairly long and rather plain to the
knees.
or course it Is difficult TO alter last
years skirt, though it is quite possible
