Writ of Prohibition.

On Tuesday of this week warrant
was sworn out by Mr.. Crandall Mackey,
Commonwealth Attorney Tor Alexan-
dria county, be fore Justice j. F. Haney
a.,o;nst one of the prOprietOrs OF st.
Asaph, charging him with violating GER
tain statutes with reference TO the max
ing of books upon the result of horse
racing. Yesterday counsel for the st.
Asaph PROF rietors appeared before the
Court Of Appeals and asked for an Or
der upcn the Justice OF the Peace re-
curing him to suspend all proceedings
until the application for a writ of pro-
hibition can be heard. This order was
entered today directing the suspension
of all proceedings until the writ OF pro-
hibitiOn asked for can be finally heard
at Richmond in November. The apPh-
cation for the writ is based upon the
ground that st. Asaph is within mile
of Alexandria city, and that under the
new law it comes within the exclusive
Jurisdiction of the Police Court, and
that neither the county justice, court or
authorities have any lurlsulcuOh mnaVo'oi
over the premises. Pending this hearing.
Mr.. Mackey and the county authorities
are prohibited from any fur ther proceed
ings. and if the contention is sustained
in the Court OF Appeals, Mr.. Mackey
will no longer be able to exercise any
jurisdiction or authority in the matter:
The st. Asaph proprietors have always
contended that they are conducting
legal business, and from the manner In
which they have resisted 10 the courts
every effort TO interfere with them. it
would seem that they are sincere in their
belief and the fact that they have taken
1he matter to the Court Of Appeals for
determination OF the questions involved,
strengthens this impression. and the de-
cision will be awaited with much inter
est. The case will be represented in
the Court of Appeals by the Attorney
General, and Mr.. Mackey will probably
be associated with him. Col. Francis
l.. Smith and Messrs. Edmund Burke
and c. c. Carlin will represent the petit

that he sprang from cover as though
he had no wound, sprang upright, and
rushing down the mountain pass was
right among the astounded Turks be-
fore they seemed to know that he had
moved. A hundred rifles pointed at
him then. A hundred bayonets
cleaned. Turks pressed on Turk to be
In at the Staying, but no bullet reached
Sugaroff, no bayonet touched him. Up
went his arms in the sunlight, up
above his head, then down again, and
the bombs crashed on the rocks in the
midst of the Turkish soldiery. A veil
OF 'Allah!' broke from the tyrant lips;
a great shout of wonder from the in
surgent bands. Flame that made the
sun look sickly leaped suddenly into be-
ing. Men were ripped and torn asun-
der as though the lightning of the
storm had struck them. Rifles were
bent and broken. Steel snapped like
straw. A mighty gap was cut in the
Turkish ranks. Terror fell upon those
that did not fall, and before they could
rally from the shock the remnant of
the Macedonian band charged down
and swept through them, striking
Hereby to right and left as they pass
ed, sending the steel home to the
hilt in their onward rush for freedom.
The path that Sugaroff had marked
with his life blood was the path that
led to safety, and they took it boldly
and swiftly"

him?"
The man in the saddle Strengthened
himself and saluted, while his upper
teeth bit hard on the lower lip. "Su-
garoff," he said, great Sugaroff! OF
him there was not left SO much as a
limb for burial. He was shivered to
a thousand fragments when the first
bomb burst"
We rode back to Sofia in the swiftly
gathering darkness, and neither spoke
a word. At the parting of our ways l
reached forward and touched his
bride arm. God bless the memory
of %Sugaroff!" l said, and my voice
was thick. At my words the soldier
stiffened in the saddle. His hand
went to his cap in salute; a hoarse
cry, that might have been a curse for
the Turk or a blessing for the dead
comrade broke from him; his spurs
went home with a cruel jerk; his horse
plunged forward into the night, and |

This professor is a teacher of English,

LOST FORMULA
BY CHARLES AUSTIN HARTLEY
Copyrighted, 1908. By The author. Publishing oompqr


Mark Norris was one of the poor
but brilliant country editors of this
great land of free press and free
speech, At the time this story begins,
the goddess of fortune seemed to
have a grudge against him, but now
he can snap his fingers at the tickle
dame. When he made the discovery
of his life he was trying to run a
little four-page newspaper down at
Cranberry Corners and at the same
time keep the poor-house and the
sheriff at a comfortable distance. He
could not depend on local advertisers
and was consequently open to the
Establishments of the patent medicine
advertiser who occasionally con-
tracted for ten dollars worth of space
at five dollars, payable in merchan-
disc"
One Saturday afternoon Norris sat
d~isconsolately in his little, dingy of
dee. He had just three dollars in his
pocket, his help to pay off, a draft to
meet for blank paper, and a few bot
ties of patent medicines stored on top
Of his desk. The latter he did not re-
gard as materially adding to his as
sets, and at that moment the future
looked pretty dark to the struggling
molder of public opinion.
While deeply absorbed in thought
he took down the bottles and placed
them side by side on his desk. He
did this mechanically. without a
thought Of the result. He took the
cork out of one of the bottles and
tasted the preparation: it was bitter.
The second had a sort of sweetish
taste, with a disposition to linger. The
third was sharp and fiery.
But what had happened?
The instant he had tasted the con.
tents of the third bottle, he was a
changed man! He arose to his feet
feeling that some great change had
taken place in him. He put on his
hat, walked boldly down street and
made straight for the bank. He
walked in without hesitation. The
banker reached for the usually much
dreaded draft the instant Norris en-
tered, but paused with hand in mid
air when he caught sight of the face
of the usually cTinging editor. Nor
ris walked up to the counter, saying:
"Ill take five hundred dollars il cash
now, and pay you when my ship
ZONES in, II when my subscribers
butcher, or sell their tobacco. You
may pay that draft and charge it to
my accountable" He actually
laughed when he said this.
The banker looked Norris in the
eye for a few seconds, counted out the
five hundred dollars and handed the
roll of bills through the wicket with
an apparently free will. Norris thrust
the money into his pocket, turned on
his heel, and passed out.
He returned to his office; the medi-
cine bottles were where he had left
them, but he did not heed them. He
strobe into the composing-room and
