CIVIL RIGHTS ACT VOID,
SUPREME COURT RULES
Law Declared Unconstitu-
tional in States Is Invalid
in District of Columbia.

The ''cavil rights act Of 1875, held un-
constitutional as to the states many
years ago in a series Of famous decisions
was today declared by the Supreme Court
OF the United States likewise null and
void as to the territories, the District of
Columbia, the naviEable waters OF the
United States and the sea.
The point was decided in the case Of
Mary F. Butts Of Everett. Mass. who
sued the Merchants and Miners Trans
portation Company for damages under
the law because she was required to
eat at a second table and use soiled linen
on trip from Boston to Norfolk. on an
occasion when she held a frst-class
ticket.
She averred that she was Disseminated
against solely because Of her color.
General Rule Applied.
In announcing the courts decision Jus
tice Van Devanter said that Congress had
not intended to legislate separately for
the states, on the one hand and for the
sea. and other places where the federal
government had exclusive jurisdiction, on
the other. and SO the law. being invalid
as to the states, must be held invalid in
all faspects.
There were two civil rights bills. One
was an act designed to carry out the in
tention of the thirteenth amendment to
the Constitution. prohibiting slavery.
which. it was alleged, the southern states
were attempting to nullify by public and
private action, and secure the political
equality OF the ex-slaves with the whites.
The other was an act to exclude colored
persons from juries. and from equal
privileges in schools, public conveyances,
hotels, theaterS, etc.
Five Test Cases Considered.
There were five test cases in the Su-
preme Court Of the constitutionality Of
the second bill. decided In one group, Oc-
tober term, 1893 Two Of them were for
hotel discrimination, two for theater dis
elimination and one for railroad discrim-
ination.
The court held that certain sections of
the law were unconstitutional as applied
to states, not being founded on either the
thirteenth or fourteenth amendments.

 ress is being made in excavation, as
 the earth is soft, and the expense of
 excavation is thus greatly reduced. | The ores now being brought from ! New Strike are estimated to give an
 average yield of SIS per ton, and with
 the new mill in operation the net
 profit is expected to approach closely
 to these figures, as the expense of
 operation in all it's details will be
 slight. The cost of the new cyanide
 plant is about $10,000, which with the large amount of machinery at present used in connection with the new mill, brings this company to the fore with an equipment that will easily make of the greatest importance to the entire section the results now to be obtained. Formerly water for the re- duction works was obtained from the water levels of the shafts of Twin Peaks, but now preparations are be- ing made for the bringing of water from Apache Creek, short distance from the site of the mill. This source is unfailing. Under the direction of men who by experience, are fully competent, an excellent system of costs has been devolved, and it is said that the total expense of production of these ores from New Strike will be trifing, and easily making profitable the concentration of ores much lower in grade than those now in sight.
 MT. Oates, the metallurgist, has been in the employ of this company for several months, and through his mining experience, eight years of which was spent in Mexico, in the en- poy of the Guggenheim interests, is | compeptent to assist in the | final development of the properties.

got the more cross he became, until the neighbors in the neighborhood of the county hospital where Teddy had his domicile, began to fear not only for safety of their fowls and stock but also for their own safety. So the bear was sacrificed to commercial ism. He was purchased by a Doug las butcher, to be cut up into juicy morsels for those who are fond of wild game.
