THE CIRCUIT AND DISTRICT
COURTS OF THE UNITED
STATES.

one OF the news lleIIs Oh lHe OpcH-
ing day of the year told of the final
passing into history of the United
states Circuit Courts, after an exist
ence dating back to the organization
of the government under the present
Constitution. =.
In accordance with an Act of Con-
gress the Circuit Courts have passed
cut of existence and the business here
tofore transacted by them will be con-
solidated with that of the District
Courts.
The story of the two tribunals may
be told thus:
The T. S. Constitution vested the jul
dicial power of the United States lin
one Supreme Court and in such in
ferior courts as the Congress may
from time to time ordain or establish
Congress was not slow to avail itself
of its privileges in this connection, and
as early as September "a, 1888, it
mapped out the country into judicial
Districts" each under District
Court" and then it gathered number
of contiguous Districts" into groups
called Circuits" each under a Cir
cult Court"
A general idea of the special juris-
diction of each of these courts Couch
ing main features only may be given
as follows:
The District Courts had jurisdiction
of:
Suits for penalties and forfeitures
incurred under any law of the United
States.
Crimes and offenses cognizable I'M
der the authority of the United States
Committed within their respective dis
tricts or upon the high seas) the
punishment for which is not capital.
Suits at common law brought by the
United States or by any officer thereof
Cases arising under any Act for the
punishment of piracy. when no Circuit
Court is held in the district
Causes arising under the United
States postal laws.
Civil cases of Admiralty and mar.
thine jurisdiction
Suits at law or in equality for dam
ages against civil rights or for secur-
ing the same.
Suits to recover the possession o
an office, and proceedings for the re
moval of a person from office, both Of
these under certain conditions, etc.
The Circuit Courts tower and above
the cases, either criminal or civil, thai
may be brought into them from the
State Courts) had
Original jurisdiction over all suits .
a civil nature at common law or in
equity. (a) Arising under the U. S
Constitution or laws or treaties mad,

of the same State claiming land unde
grants of different States; (e) in {

exceeds $4,000.

Republicans profess to regard the
proposed omission of the appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the travelling eX-
penses of the President as an act of
meanness or political Miniature. But
this appropriation was never made for
any President before Mr. Taft, and
there was little occasion for it, or even
thought of it, until President Roose-
velt's extensive travels at the expense
of the railroad companies aroused pub
lie attention to a practice of very
dubious propriety. If the President
shold travel less many people would
lose the opportunity of seeing a Pres
ident, which is of course interesting,
but the public interests would be as
we'll served as they are now, and the
Presidents personal ambitions would
probably not suffer in the least.

EPILEPSY AND CONSTIPA-
TioN.

A French physician has re-
ported to the Academy of Sci
ence an important discovery of
the relation between constipa-
ton and epilepsy. A child of
seven had suffered almost daily
from attacks of epilepsy and at
the same time from severe con-
stipation. AS the constipation
was relieved the paroxysms of
epilepsy became less frequent
and when fully relieved they en-
tirely ceased. In two other cases,
ages nineteen and twenty-one,
conspiration was present with
epilepsy and when the former
was gradually overcome the
paroxysms became less frequent
and finally stopped. This con-
firms the opinion recently ex-
pressed In these articles as the
result of experience, that cpl
Iepsy is primarily a nutritionaI
disturbance, although as in can
Ger, tuberculosis and other dis
eases, changes take place grad
ualIy, rendering it incurable.

No Negotiations Yet

Belgrade, November 9.-The semi-offi- cial Sumouprava publishes a dispatch saying the Seryian troops, which were in the vicinity of Saloniki, entered that city with the Greeks.
 Premier Pachitch, in an interview to- day, said that up to the present there had been no official negotiations between Austria and Servia on the subject of Albania He declared that Servia must have an outlet to the Adriatic She had not shed her blood so much for terri torial extensions as to obtain this con- nection with the sea, without which 1t would be impossible to develop economi- cally and politically
 Servit, he added had been offered an outlet to the Aegean, but if that was accepted 1t would only deeply offend the allies.
 ''The Albanians,' said the premier, Twill lose nothing because under Servia they would enjoy absolute liberty. After all, Servia will get nothing new because she possessed these seaports centuries ago. She is willing to come to an understand ing with Austria and meet that coun- try's wishes, provided Servia's economic and political independence is not jeopar- dized.
