better opinion that the constitution
was intended to conf1ne to courts Gre
ated by congress the trial and deter
mination of cases in courts of record
falling within the grant of federal jul.
dicial power. This case does not pre-
sent the question which might arise if
the state of Connecticut by appro-
pirate legislation had accepted for it's
courts the jurisdiction which the
plaintiff invokes. If he could then
maintain his suit, it would be because
the state had in effect granted him the
right to sue. Elk parte Knowles, 5

thorize a state court to entertain a
plenary action created by a law of
the United States, it would not follow
that the jurisdiction must be assumed.

state is fulfilled when they administer
justice as it's laws require. Stephens

BENCH AND BAR.

Lord Morris, the famous Irish judge,
was once presiding on assizes at Col
CRANE during the hearing of an action
for horse poisoning, when he was very
much amused by the sef-sufficient air
with which a doctor was giving evil
dence to the effect that twelve grains
of the poison in question could be
administered to a horse with fatal
consequences. The judge eventually
said to the witness, "Tell me this,
wouldn't two grains kill the devil him
s%lf if he swallowed them?" The
medico. much shocked at the question,
drew himself up in the box IN POM

1.-THE coNVIcT's SWEETHEART"
The play to be given at the Seattle
Theatre next week is founded upon
actual facts The title, "The Convict's
Sweetheart" tells whole lot in itself
but both that and the general story
of the play are the reproduction of an
event that several years ago was
widely discussed in the newspapers
and in one city of the West at least
shook society to it's very foundation.
The story tells of the murder of
Horace Weyland, miner who is oper-
ating a mine wherein rich strike
has been made. Weyland, in years
gone by, had misunderstanding with
his wife and left her. When the story
opens he has just received word of
the wife's death and he is preparing
to go East to see his daughter now
young lady whom he has not seen
since a baby. Milton Devereaux over
hears the old mans plans and murders
him and an assayer employed by the
company The assayer's daughter,
through a mistake, gives evidence at
the hearing which fastens the crime
on Frank Templeton, young engineer
and her own lover. The rest of the
play is taken up with the escape OF
Templeton from prison and the sud-
den development of the fact that
Devereaux, who has masqueraded for
several years as old man Weyland, is
really the murderer.

Going Some" the latest comedy by
Paul Armstrong and Rex Beach,
which ran for eight months at the
Belasco Theatre, New York, will be
seen here for the first time next Tues
day, when an engagement of five
nights and Wednesday, and Saturday
matinees will be inaugurated.
The piece is under the direction of
the Shuberts, who are sending the or
iginal production to this territory.
The story is that of Rah Rah boy
from Yale, j. Wallingford Speed,
whose attainments as an athlete have
been limited to side-line cheering. He
visits the Flying Heart Ranch, New
Mexico, with his coach in search of
diversion. There he meets a Smith
college girl, who is also a visitor at
the ranch and wishing to make an
impression on her, he poses as old
Ellis hundred yard champion. 1t hap
pens that the cowboys of the Flying
Heart ranch are eager to win back
from the Centipede bunch a trophy in
the shape of talking machine, which
they have lost the year before as the
result of a one-sided foot race. Will
Speed consent to run for them? He
certainly will; his acceptance, how
ever, nearly giving his trainer heart
failure. The cowboys attach the pen

being typical head yeller," learns

Now we are told that we have been

guise of fresh meat: the poisonous
stuff having been doctored. About 23

the merchants clerks. If you have
scales you can in a second detect the
error. A lady of our acquaintance,
who had been trading at one grocery
for ten years was astonished when
she purchased a scale and COM

Resolutions looking 10 the establishing

On the ground that employment agen-
