A New Birds Eye View of Lake
WinniDesaukee Published by the
Boston and Maine Railroad.

The numerous vaca tionists who an
nually journey to Lake Winnipesaukee,
and those persons intending to take a
vacation in this section, will be inter-
ested in the new publication issued by
the passenger department, Boston and
Maine Railroad, Boston. 1t is a Birds
Eye View of Lake Winnipesaukee, the
different glens and coves on the lake
and the hundreds of islands. Each
mountain peak, island and cove is num-
bered and at the bottom is a table
giving the name of each number. This
map is interesting and useful in fur
nishing one with the geography of the
lake, and prospective vacationists and
New Hampshire enthusiasts should
send six cents in stamps to the Cen

POOR HOUSE PLAN
WILL BE DROPPED.
Not Thought That Anything Will Be
Done This Year.

Not Thought That Anything Will BE
Done This Year.
Nothing is likely to be done this year
towards the establishment of poor
house for the city and county.
A special committee was appointed
from Council to take the matter up
with the County Commissioners, but
nothing has so far been accomplished,
and the chances are that the matter
will be allowed to rest until next year.
The city undertook so many things
this year that all of them can not pos
sibly be carried out, unless the city is
to exceed the expenses allowed for the
year. Mayor Myers is unwilling that
this should be done, and the poor house
for one thing will be let alone for this
year at least.
The Mayor is as much in favor OF
the poor house plan as he ever was, but
he does not want to take any chances
on running the city in debt. The build
ing of the City Hall will take quite
sum, and il is not thought the city will
be in a position to undertake the es-
tablishment of the poor house. Mayor
Myers is in favor of letting the matter
alone for a while and this, of course,
will probably be followed.

which the court recently adjudged that
there was a priority, it is held by Capt.

SAYS sENATE'S ACTION CROWNS
WITH SUCCESS HIS LABORlOUS
CAMPAIGN OF FIFTEEN YEARS
HERE AND IN FRANCE.

Washington, February 2S.-As soon as
he learned of the ratification by the SEN
ate of the Panama canal treaty, M. Bu-
nau-Varilla, the minister of Panama, sent
the following cablegram to President AM
ador of the republic of Panama:
THE senate has ratified the Hay-Va-
rlla treaty. This great historical fact in
sures the completion of the Panama canal
and the protection of the republic. 1t
crowns my laborious campaign of fifteen
years on the political and diplomatic field
to save the honor of the great French
conception, as 1 had previously saved
its life on the technical field after four
years of warfare in the isthmus against
almost insuperable obstacles.
while defending the great French en-
terprise against falsehood and calumny
| acted in the capacity of a French citi-
zen defending great moral interest of
France. This excludes all idea of mate
rial remuneration; therefore ! request the
governmen of the republic of Panama to
withhold the salary of my office. 1t
should form the nucleus of a fund for the
erection of a monument by the grateful
republic of Panama to Ferdinand de Les
seps, the great Frenchman whose genius
had concentrated rs territory to the pro-
gress of the world, for the honor of Pan
anna and the glory of France, and Of the
United States"

ADAMS CAUSES
Big SENSATION
coNFESSES TO PERJURY WHILE
TESTIFYING IN CURTIS JETT
CASE-BRINGS TEARS TO EYES
OF THE JURY.

Cynthiana, KY. February 23.-There
was a sensation in the courthouse here
this evening when A. C. Adams pleaded
guilty to perjury and was given the min
imum sentence of one year. Adams was
one of the principal witnesses for the
defense at the trial here last September
of Curtis Jett and Thomas White, con-
victed of killing j. B. Marcum and James
Cockrell at Jackson, Ky.
Adams was allowed to address the jury.
While speaking, he broke down several
times. In making his confession in the
open courtroom, he said he had perjured
himself on account of the fear of being
killed In Breathitt county. lie said that
county officers and others had told him he
must aid Jett IN proving an alibi, or he
and his family would suffer.
He addressed the jury for fifteen min
utes. reciting the language used to him
by prominent people at Jackson, and the
threats that were made before he testi-
fed County Attorney Webster pleaded for
mercy Several Of the jurors wept while
Adams was talking. The jury promptly
returned a verdict with the minimum
sentence of one year. There was much
agitation about the courthouse after the
brief trial on account of the names Of
judges and other prominent people men
toned by Adams while pleading guilty.

COURT DECISION
AGAINST GILES
Test Cases of Alabama Consti-
tuition Fail
JUSTICE DAYS DECISION
The United States Supreme Court Dis
misses for Want of Jurisdiction the
Writs of Error to Supreme
Court of Alabama.
JUSTICE DAYS DECISION
BY wArTERsoN srEALEY.

Washington, February 23.-(Special.)-
The United States supreme court today
dismissed for want of jurisdiction the
writs of error in the two cases of Jackson
w. Giles VS.. the board of registrars of
Montgomery, Ala, in error to the su-
preme court of the state of Alabama, the
so-called test cases involving the con-
stitutionality of the new Alabama con-
stitution. Justice Day delivered the opin-
ion on the case III the court. Justice
Harlan was the only member who dis
sented.
1--WE are of the opinion" says Justice
Day in part, 'that the state court de-
cided the case for reasons Independent of
the federal right claimed. and hence its
action is not renewable here. In the case
for write of mandamus the same attack
was made upon the action of the state
of Alabama in adopting and enforcing the
provisions of the state constitution
which it was charged were adopted for
the purpose of disfranchisins the negroes.
else the election franchise.
I'VE do not perceive how in the man
damus case the decision of the state court
involved the adjudication Of a right
claimed under the federal constitution
against the appellant. 1t denies the relief
by way of mandamus admitting the allie
cations of the petition as to the illegal
character of the registration authorized
in pursuance of the Alabama constitution.
There is ground adequate to sustain the
decision and wholly independent of the
rights set up by the plaintiff as secured
to him by the constitutional amendments
for his protection. 1t Is apparent that
the thing complained OF so far as it in
wolves rights secured under the federal
constitution is the action of the state of
Alabama in the adoption and enforcing
of a constitution with the purpose of
excluding from the exercise of the right
of suffrage the negro voters of the state
in violation of the fifteenth amendment.
"The great difficulty of reaching the
political action of a state through RENE
dies afforded in the courts, state or fed
eral, was suggested by this court in the
case of Giles Harris.
I'm reaching the decision that the pres
ent courts of error must be dismissed the
court is not unmindful of the gravity of
the statements of the complaint charging
violation OF a constitutional amendment
which is part Of the supreme law of
the land; but the right Of this court to
review decisions of the highest court of
a state has long been well settled, and is
circumstanced by the rules established by
low. We are of the opinion that plain
tiffs in error have not brought the cases
within statute giving to this court the
right of review. The writs Of error in
both cases will therefore be dismissed
