Mrs. Fla Street of Bantry was the

cut across a piece of ground that had

upon a throne of gold, clad in his
imperial habits. He had a crown
upon his head and was girt with his
sword. he had a chalice in his
hand, the book Of the evangelists
upon his knees, his scepter and gold
buckler at his feet. The sepulcher
was filed with pieces Of gold, per-
fumed and sealed, and above q tri-

SAYS TRUSTS HAVE.
NO CHANCE NOW
Attorney Kellogg Discusses Su.
preme Court Decisions.

st. Paul, May 31.-Frank B. Kellogg,
government trust buster," the man
who beat the Standard Oil company,
the greatest trust in the world" can
find no cause for uneasiness in the re-
Gently enunciated doctrine of "rea-
sonable restraint" of trade in the
Standard Oil and tobacco trust deci-
sions of the supreme court.
He says that the two decisions leave
the trusts no loophole of escape. He
believes that the government now has
the corporations where they may be
controlled. In discussing the two de-
cisions he said:
II have not, of course, read the COM
plete opinion in the tobacco case, as
only a synopsis is published in the
paper. l judge, however, that the
government won on every contention,
and that the cas- is simply sent back
to the court below to enable the court
to enter a decree to completely sever
the various properties which had been
| conveyed to the American Tobacco
company.
1.-THE American Tobacco company
was not simply a stockholding corpo-
ration, but the competitors which it
had acquired in many instances had
conveyed their properties and bust
ness direct to the American Tobacco
company. This rendered it necessary
| that there should be a decree severing
the various properties. The court be-
low also held that the contract be-
tween the foreign and the American
company was not illegal and that the
United Cigar Stores company al not
restraining trade. Judge this hold
ing is reversed and the court is d.
rected to include these corporations
in the Decree"

cueer Acts That Have Been Passed by
i. the British Parliament.
Lord Palmerston, when prime
minister, once said that the British
parliament could do anything but
turn a man into a woman or a wom-
an into q man." This ancient legis-
lature can abolish any institution Of
the country, the throne, the church,
the courts Of justice, and can even
extinguish itself. But it is often
unable to "make sense Of the stat
u..cs in which it embodies its au-
tk.-itv.
Gaze of the most ludicrous enact
men...s to be found in the acts Of
paris ment is the statute for the re-
building OF a certain jail. The bill
as originally drafted provided that
prisoners should be confined in the
old jail until the new one was built,
but in committee a clause was add
ed to the effect that the new prison
should be constructed out Of the
materials o. the old, and the bill
became Law before anybody detect
ed the absurd;ty.
Then there is the "~ffty-second Of
George H., chapter 146," which en-
acts that the penalty imposed under

and half to the poor Of the parish,
After the act had been passed il
was discovered that the penalty
which the act provides is transpor.
tation for fourteen years. The first
intention was that the penalty
should be a fine Of G50O. On sec.

forgot to omit the clause providing
