DROP JOINT CASES.
Constitutionality of Kansas Law Won't
Be Attacked.

y Washington, Oct. 16.-The supreme
court of the United States has been
INFORMED by counsel that compro-
mise would doubtless be reached in
the pending case involving the con-
stitutionality of the Kansas liquor law.
1t was said that the effort to test the
constitutionality of this law would be
given up and that the only question to
be determined in the cases filed was
as to the severity of the sentences i'm
posed for violations.
In the cases of Kirsch versus the
CITY of Topeka, on application or
counsel for Kirsch, a dismissal was
obtained.
The Kirsch case, the appeal of
which was dismissed in the United
States supreme court today, arose out
OF the anti-"joint" movement started
here three years ago when Judge T. F.
Carver was appointed assistant attor-
ney general for Shawnee county
kirsch was one of about twenty
''Jointists" to be arrested. His penalty
was a fine of 500 and a Jail sentence
of thirty days on each count In the
case of Kirsch the fines amounted to
more than $4,000, while his Jail SELL
fences aggregated a year or more. The
action in Washington means that he
must pay the fine and serve the SEN
tence.
The Kirsch verdict of the district
court was affirmed by the state SUI
preme court and then was appealed
to the United States supreme court
The appellants contended that the
Kansas prohibitory law curtailed the
rights of the people and that it was
unconstitutional to have assistant at
torneys general to work against the
Joints" The Kansas prohibitory law
has not been tested since 1883, when
all the courts looked it over. Since
that time there have been some addi-
ktions which, the appellants contended,
made 1t invalid.

 Raphael himself had believed 1t dan- gerous for Hypatia to stir abroad. Now, convinced by the earnestness of Phil ammon he sought to go back and warn her. But by her orders the slaves re- fused all admittance. All they could do was to walt there and see her come forth.
 At the appointed hour she came calm and serene A great mob waited for her. The wild multitude seized upon the fair virgin and carried her toward the Caesarium. There, against one of the great pillars. they slew her, she looking upon the rabble in disdain with her last look. Philammon fled, he knew not till his dying day whither. At last as night was falling, he gath cred himself together and sought the house of Pelagia. But at the postern gate by the canal, wh ere his sister was to be delivered to him, he found no one. The gate, however, was unbarred, and he entered.
 He heard voices and went up steep stairs into a tower. There he found the Goths and Pelagia. The Anal had at first agreed to give her up, but he had faltered in his purpose and was clasping her to his arms declaring that he would never be separated from her. When he saw Philammon and heard the insolent words with which the youth demanded his sister, he sprang to- ward him. The two grappled. The mud coping of the tparapet against which they struggled gave way. As they fell the Amal was undermost and his head dashed against the stones.
 Dripping. breathless. Philammon pulled himself out of the canal and lay panting on the ground of the little street which led by the postern. At the end of the street he saw the light of torches; a mob was surgng there. Then he saw Pelagia come out of the postern door, but ere he could call to her she had fled into the darkness.
 Yet in the end both Philammon and PeIagia found their way out of the city of discord. Philammon lived many years in the quiet seclusion of the Laura, until he became abbot. Across desert space from the Laura lived a recluse--a woman of exceed Ing beauty, to whom the rude inhab- itants of the region brought offerings of fruit and corn. So she grew old as Philammon grew old.
 Then one day the aged Philammon said to his monks that a voice called him and, taking the holy chalice In ms hand went out across the desert When after a while some of his monks l followed to see what had become or i him, they found near the cell or the ] woman anchorite an open grave ana ! in 1t the abbot and the reciuse, hfe- ] less. Thus Pelagia and Philammon l died and went to their own place.
