A FALSE ALARM.


About the hour of midnight recently,
a man all QUITO breath rushed into a
corner drug store. Infected by the stran-
gers excitement and thinking that possibly
somebody was in desperate straits, one of
the clerks ran to the rear to summon
the only pharmacist on duty at that
time. Before the pharmacist could clat-
ter down from his entresol pill foundry
the wild-eyed man said to the clerk,
Maybe you'll do. I want a one-cent
stamp. Be quick about it I'm afraid
I'll miss my car"
ON CONDITION.
Oh, could be an optimist,
AS cheerful as you please,
If all the streets were paved with pie
And money grew on trees;
If champagne fountains lined the way
Where troubles never irk,
And no one ever shed a tear
And no one had to work.

Virginia court of appeals by writ of err
ror to the supreme court of the United
States.
The chief justice and Justice Harlan
concurred in the result, but dissented
from the reasoning. They hold that the
contentious of the Virginia commission
were correct and Justice Harlan declared
that the bill ought to have been dis
missed.
The railroads claim that they are prac-
tically given every substantial right which
they contend for.
The courts action in reversing the cir
cult court was based in the fact that
the roads had failed to appeal to the
state supreme court before invoking the
intervention of the United States circuit
court. On this point Justice Holmes SAID:
Writ of Error
Consideration of comfy and convent
ence have led this court ordinarily to de-
cline to interfere by habeas corpus
where the petitioner had open to him
writ of error to a higher court of a state
in cases where there Is merely logical
reason for refusing the writ. The ques-
ton is whether somewhat similar con-
siderations ought not to have some weight
here
I'VE admit at once that they have not
the same weight in this case. The ques-
ton to be decided, we repeat, is legisla-
tive whether a certain rule shall be
made Although the appeal is given as
right it Is not remedy, properly So
called At that time no case exists. We
should hesitate to say, as general rule.
that a right to resort TO the courts could
be made always to depend upon keeping
a previous watch upon the bodies that
make. and using every effort and all
the machinery available to prevent uncon-
stitutional laws from being passed.
This case hardly can be disposed or
on purely general principles. The aues-
ton that we are considering may be
termed a question of equitable fitness,
or propriety, and must be answered In
the particular facts. The establishment
of railroad rates is not like law that
affects private persons who may never
have heard of It till it was passed. 1t
is a matter of great interest, both TO the
railroads and to the public, and is watched
by both with scrutinizing. care. The rail-
roads went into evidence before the COM
mission. They very well might have
taken the matter before the supreme
court of appeals. No new evidence and
no great additional expense would have
been involved"

pastor OF the Baptist church here and

The fact that Dr. Pittman is probably
the champion Bible reader OF the

The discovery came about in this
way: Dr. Pittman frequently lectures
before chautauqua and church gather

addresses are seldom formal. Rather
they are heart TO heart talks upon
what seems 70 be the most opportune
subject. So It happened that he was
