 ''The air spaces in the walls afford insulation against heat in summer and cold in winter" she explained. Be sides, such walls afford ventilation and insure a more healthful house."
 The visitor reflected Q moment, and replied:
 Our frame house must be quite as we'll built. Every night we lock the cat in the cellar, and have to let her out of the attic in the morning. ."- Youths Companion.

Mary,s Important Testimony.

Justice Brewer, of the United States supreme court is said to be the author of this story: A witness testified in a certain case that a person named Mary was present when a particular conversation took place and the ques- tion was asked: What did Mary say?"

State Capital Notes
No Site Yet For Fountain.

Lewis M. Seaver, representing the National Humane Alliance, which proposes to donate a $1,000 granite fountain for the use of man and beast, if a suitable site be selected for 1t. has proposition to place 1t in Hot Springs. Word has been received at the city hall that the ladies of Hot Springs had promised MT. Seaver that if he would give the fountain to that city they believed they could secure a place for it in front of the Arling- ton hotel. When MT. Seaver was in Little Rock he desired that the foun- tain should be placed on East Fifth street, between Main and Scott, but the commissioners of the East Fifth street paving district objected to it's being located there on the ground that it would be injurious to the as phalt pavement at the point at which it might be placed. Mayor Lemon offered Mir. Seaver his choice of a site at Sixth and Center streets, Sec ond Fourth and Seventh, on Broad way, or Second and Rock. Neither one of these sites was acceptable to MT. Seayer. He then suggested to Mayor Lemon that the city might have the fountain if it were given place on Main street, near the free bridge. This proposition, of course, was de elined by the mayor. Mr. Seaver has promised MT. Lemon that he will visit Little Rock again in few days, and, if possible, will give this city the preference of being the custodian of the fount It is not believed that the owners of the Arlington hotel at Hot Springs will consent to having the fountain located in front of that house, and if not it yet may find a home in Little Rock

Holds Wingo Act unconstitutionai

HoiGS WInqo Act CnconStitutonaf
 United States District Judge Jacob Trieber held Saturday that the Wingo act was unconstitutional in the hear ing on the injunction suit brought by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Company against O. c. Lud- wig as secretary of state. This decis- ion also effects the actions brought by the St. Louis, San Francisco Rail- road Company and the Southwestern Railway Company against the State of Arkansas. Judge Trieber overruied the demurrer of Attorney General Kir- by as to the jurisdiction of the federal court, and granted the injunction prayed for by the railroad corporation The case will be immediately appealed by the state to the Supreme Court of the United States. Attorney General Kirby is absent from the city, but his intentions in this respect have already been stated. Judge Trieber holds that the suit against the secretary of state, who is merely acting in this matter as ministerial officer is not a suit against the state within the meaning Of the Eleventh amendment of the constitution and, therefore, is cogni- gable in court of the United States, as the right claimed by the railroad company is one arising under the con stitution of the United States. It held that while the state has the right 10 exclude foreign corporations from doing business within it's borders, with or without any reason, this power of the state is subject to the constitu- tional provision that no state shall pass any law impairing the obliga- .tions of contract, which is a point mentioned in a recent opinion by Judge Winfield
