Our Uproarious Supreme Court.

During the consideration recently
by the Supreme Court of the United
States of a certain case of copyright,
counsel introduced a number of per-
forated rolls used in mechanical pi-
amos and organs, and passed them
up to the court as exhibits.
Chief Justice Fuller handled one
of the rolls %curiously, and then OBJ
served in solemn and profound tones:
II observe that this roll in my hand
bears the inscription, Am l Yo'h

inquire whether this personal appeal
will render it improper for my dis

TROOPS BREAK UP
SPRINGFIELD MOB
Fixed Bayonets Halt Riots and
Clear AWAY Crowds.
EVERY STREET IS PATR0LLED
1900 Soldiers Guard City and Ne.
groes Are Invited to Come Into
the State Arsenal For Safety and
200 Old Persons Accept.

Springfield, Ill.-With 1900 Ma
tional Guardsmen on duty here the
capital city of Illinois resembles an
armed camp. AS a result of the pres
ence of the troops there have been
but a few sporadic outbreaks on the
part of the mob and these have been
quickly suppressed.
The presence of the soldiers occu.
plying every street and vantage
ground overawed any turbulent spir-
it's who might have desired to renew
the rioting. Only one Ease of assault
was reported to the police, a negro
being stabbed by a small gang Of
hoodlums at the State Fair Ground.
1t was a day of exodus for the ne
Eroes. Fully 1000 of them have left
the city. The only negroes to be seen
on the streets were those on their way
to the trains, and they were always
accompanied by soldier guards. Some
have gone to Missouri, Kentucky, and
Indiana, and a few to the South.
Some are known to have gone as far
past the Mason and Dixon line as
Louisiana.
The arsenal is crowded with negro
refugees from Springfield and sur
rounding towns. About 200 men,
women and children sought shelter
In the building and slept on the floor
Pr in chairs. Most of these people
were old and infirm, but they endured
the hardships of their quarters
rather than face the prospect of pass
ing the night in their homes, beset
with momentary fear of attack.
There are still many negroes left
IN Springfield, but OF these there are
many who are planning to go at the
first opportunity. In a week, it is
predicted, the prosperous negro col
onies will be like deserted villages.
Forty or fifty negroes now in the
employ Of the various city DEPART
ments will be discharged. Many of
them are faithful, honest men of long
service.
Several complaints were received
from nearby villages and hamlets of
the existence of threatening condi-
tons. The most insistent came from
Chatham, twelve miles south. The
negroes there had become fright

REEVES SUPPOSED DEAD MAN.
Surgeon Resuscitates Patient With
Strychnine and Oxygen.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Dr. Henry Jaf-
fer, a member of the staff of the
Eastern District Hospital, Williams
burg, resuscitated a patient of the
institution after he had apparently
been dead for three minutes. Miss
Josephine Ryan, senior nurse, had
reported the mans death to the su-
pe%rintendent, DR.. Louis Wiegand, and
he had given orders for the removal
Of the body to the hospital morgue.
An attendant had also been sent to
notify the wife of the patient. When
she arrived she found him alive. The
mar continued to rest comfortably,
but DR.. Jaffer did not hope for his
ultimate recovery.
The doctor resusciated the patient
by injecting an eighth of a grain of
strychnine into his side and applying
oxygen. Then he continued the arti-
fetal respiration until the patient
slowly commenced to breathe faint
ly. The pulse started at the same
time. When the doctor made the in
lection there was apparently no res
piration or pulse.
The patient is Oscar Culver, thirty
nine years old, of 262 South Fourth
street, Brooklyn. He is a sufferer
from consumption and rheumatism.

Prohibition Candidate Notified of
His Nomination.
HIS ADDRESS OF ACCEPTANCE

At Music Hall, in Chicago, in the
Presence of a Large Audience,
Eugene w. Chain, of Chicago,
Accepted Prohibition Nomination
Chicago.-At Music Hall, in the
presence of a large and enthusiastic
audience, Eugene W. Chain, of Chi
cago, accepted the nomination for the
Presidency by the Prohibition party.
The notification address was made by
Professor Charles Scanlon, Of Pitts
burg.
In his speech Of acceptance Mr..
Chain said in part:
We are now approaching the close
of another fifty years, where two
dominant political parties, Republican
and Democratic, have allied them
selves with the most gigantic crime
that ever cursed the world and by
their attitude made known to the
American people that they do not
propose to permit them to have a
chance, even though the majority
may favor it, to destroy the liquor
traffic and add another amendment
to the Constitution which would
mark the highest achievement of civ
llization in the worlds history.
THE lofty ideals of twentieth CEN
tury craftsmanship call for a United
States Senate born of an intelligent
peoples conscience instead of mock
Ing statues surmounting the pedestals
Of concentrated wealth; the equaliZa-
ton of public burdens by a system
h a will compel the rich to pay their
proper proportion of the costs of gov
eminent. A graduated income and
Inheritance tax will be a long step in
this direction.
THE development of the trusts
has changed entirely all the old the
cries of a protective tariff and free
trade, and the people demand legis-
lation in their interest ON this i'm
portant matter, which can best be
worked out by a permanent tariff
commission Ours is the only party
that strikes a blow at the social evil.
so closely allied to the liquor traffic,
and proposes the only practical meth
Cd of stamping out polygamy
throughout the nation by a uniform
marriage and divorce law.
While not a line of history will
be changed by the election of a Re-
publican or Democrat, the triumph of
the Prohibition party and the placing
of its platform in the Constitution
and upon the statute book will write
the longest, brightest, purest and
most benef1cent chapter of history
that has marked the progress of civ
flization since governments were in
stituted among men,"

He declared that America was a
cowardly nation, which, with power
to defy the world, refused to grant

feared an outbreak in Chicago, and
that many of them we're making

Flames He Started.

Mount Clemens, Mich. - Edison
Burr, a wealthy farmer, living six
miles north of Rome, Ohio, burned
$4,000 in currency and his $4,000
