The Constitution of the United States is the supreme lav, and every law of Congress, every State Constitution and every State law must be brought to the test of this supreme law, and is valid or Invalid as it stands, or fails to stand, that test. The Interpretation and enforcement of the national Constitution and laws could not. for several obvious reasons, be left to the State courts. Uniformity of interpretation would be impossible if the Supreme Appellate Courts of the State could, each for Itself

and finally for the people of the particular State, construe the national Constitution and laws. And especially questions affecting the conflicting powers of a State and of the national government could not be left to the decision of the State court. If the powers given to the national government were to be maintained and uniformly and beneficially exercised it was essential that the final Judicial determination of the scope ar.d limits of these powers should be confided to national courts. It would not have done in 1M1 to submit the question of the right of a State to secede from the Union to the Supreme Court of South Carolina. v CHICAGO TEAMS WON. (Conelnded from First Paa-e.)

ton and Draper made good gains, but the half ended with the ball in Boston's hands. The second half began in a driving rain, which drove the people from the open field boxes into the covered grandstand. At 12:3.". Draper kicked off to Remington, who was downed without gain. On a fake kick Hennessey made a fine run 4o Chicago's thirtyyard line. Chicago braced up and stopped the Boston rushes. Curtis tried to kick, but was downed by Horton. Chicago now advanced the oval by five and ten-yard rushes by end and tackle, but soon lost the ball on a fumble. Hennessy and Bullard repeated tho work of the Chicago backs, advancing the bail handsomely and then losing It on a fumble. Boston and Chicago started a series of fumbles. Boston gradually gaining by tho exchange until Fhe had the ball on Chicago's fifteen-yard line. Here the ball was taken from her. and all hope seemed to fade from the Easterners. From this time on they played with dogged desperation, but without hope. Klunder and Draper advanced the ball by short rushes back Into Boston territory. Boston was gone to pieces and Draper easily tore through the left tackle for a sensational run of forty yards and a touchdown. Boston was defeated, she knew, and gloom settled over the followers of the unicorn. For the third time Draper missed the goal and the score was 12 to 0 In favor of Chicago. On the next kick off Russell sent the ball twice over the line and it was given to the cherry circle. Draper punted thirty yards, got fifteen yards for a foul tackle and then the ball went to Boston on a fumble. Captain Thompson now began to show signs of weakness and delayed the game considerably by lying on his back until somebody picked him up. Draper got the ball on a punt and made several fine dashes, but Boston again rallied and took the ball. Coaches and captain appealed to the men to save their team from the disgrace of a shutout. With desperate rushes Bullard. Hennessey and Curtis rushed the ball down to Chicago's five-yard line. The cherry circles rallied in vain and Bullard was hurled across the line for a touchdown and Boston's only score. Bullard kicked the goal, and the final score was made. Chicago seemed to be a little nervous1 from this time, but her goal was at no time in danger. The game ended without further score, and Chicago was the victor, 12 to C. The line up was as follows: Chicago. Position. Boston.

Umpire Upton. TIED AT TO C. Evenly Played Game Between North western and Chlcnjro Universities. CHICAGO. Nov. 28. The game between Northwestern University and the University of Wisconsin resuted In a tie 6 to 6. Wisconsin won the toss and took the south goal, with the wind blowing such a gale from the south that the ball scarcely could be kept in position long enough to kick 1L The ball, when Potter kicked It off, was downed on Wisconsin's twentyyard line. Then there was a return kick by Wisconsin that carried the ball to Northwestern'3 fifteen-yard line, to which It kept In close proximity nearly through the first half. It was mass against mass, with a few quick passes, and the ball traveled back and forth, getting closest to Northwestern's goal when Karel made a short dash with it and was downed by Potter. ? Northwestern had the advantage of the nd in the second half, but made little more use of it than Wisconsin had In the first The ball moved steadily Into Wisconsin's territory from the first. There was scarcely a halt or backward movement till it had reached the Badgers' fifteen-yard line. Then there was a slight loss, which Vandoozer covered by carrying the ball close to Wisconsin's five-yard line before he was downed. There was a halt while an ugly cut over the eye of Wisconsin's captain, the only serious mishap of the game, was patched. Then the ball was carried by Sloan over the Wisconsin goal line and the first touchdown was scored, the goal (following. The spectators who had come to see footbail supposing it consisted of a series of beautiful high flies were party gratified when the play opened again. They were gratified a second time when Sloan, Northwestern's full back, sent the ball over the heads of both elevens and dropped It at Richards's feet. Little by little the ball was pushed towards Northwestern's goal by the Wisconsin men. Finally, at the fifteen-yard line, the men of Northwestern rallied mightily and held the advancing line for four downs. But It was of little avail, for when Northwestern's quarter back called for a kick and the ball was passed back, it missed Its mrk and rolled over the goal line. Brewer fell on It. after a gallant attempt by Soan. and Wisconsin had scored. The goal was easy, and the score tied, with eight minutes of play remaining. When play was begun again the ball swayed back and forth over the center field like the bob of a pendulum. Finally It went well down the field towards Northwestern's goal. Then Sloan came to the rescue. His foot struck the ball with a thud, and It went high into the air and down the Wisconsin's fifteen-yard line. When time was called the ball was still close to that point. The ..ne-up was as follows : Northwestern. Position. Wisconsin. Glass Right end Brewer Andrews Right tackle Pyre Leverings Right guard Ryan Pearce Center Comstock Thome Left guard Riordan McCIuskey Left tackle Atkinson Siberts Left end Sheldon Hinter Quarterback. ..Mcpherson vandooser Left half back Karei Potter RUht half back Peel Sioane Full back Richards Stanford Won '20 to O.

Cases in AVlileli Army Officers Showed How Uneven Justice Can De. New York Sun. The peculiar relations between soldier and civilian in Germany were Illustrated last month by the assassination of the engineer, Llebmann. by the Lieutenant Baron Bruesewltz, In a Cnrlsruhe beer garden. Bruescwitz killed Llebmrnn because Llebmann was slow to apologize for accidentally rubbing his arm against Bruesewltz's chair. Persons who may regard Bruescwitz as an exceptionally arrogant officer and the attitude ho assumed toward Liebmnnn as a rare thing In continental life may get light from an Incident of Vienna life about two weeks ago. At 11:30 o'clock in thc'evenlng an omnibus full of passengers was rolling down the Mariahilfe r strasse. near the Kaiser strasse, when Lieut. Rudolf von Hesse, of His Imperial Majesty's Fourteenth Artillery, started to cross the street with five young women whom he was taking home from a mu.ic hall. The driver of the omnibus shouted a warning to Hesse, but Hesse ignored him and walked out directly In the way of the omnibus. The driver bore down on the brake, pulled in his horses with might and main, and brought the omnibus up against the curb at the risk of an upset. Meantime Hesse sauntered serenely on to the opposite Fide of the street without hastening a step. The driver called to him: "Can't you get out of tho way. sir?" The officer at onco threw aside his coat, called to the women to wait on the walk for him. and unsheathed his sword. He ran at ths omnibus, halted at tho forward wheels, and brought down the sword on the. driver's hand, still resting on the brake. He cut off two fingers and stuck the driver In the shoulder. The driver tumbled down from his box. The passengers hurried from the omnibus. Among them was a captain In uniform. As soon as he saw tho captain Hess? saluted and reported: "Mr. Captain. I report most obediently that this fellow shouted at me and I gave him a little lesson with my sword." "Exactly." replied the captain. "Your conduct was perfectly correct." The officer told a policeman his story, called a cab. and with his young women drove away, while tho omnibus driver was carried to a hospital to undergo an opera tion, and the, omnibus and passengers were left to get out of their diniculty by others. Hesse was not arrested by the Vienna police, and he was not even reprimanded by his superior officers. The driver lost his hand and his employment. The Badische Iandesbote tells of an army paymaster In Carlsruhe who on one of the last nichts in October tried to have fun with a lithographer and an engraver whom he met as he was going to his quarter.

The two civilians closed in on the ofber. threw him down and disarmed him. They were arrested and fined. The paymaster, of course was be?d blameless, except perhaps for not run i'ig the men through lefore they could overpower him. At all events. be was not tried and wa not punished In any military or civil court. Happenings similar to these ?iave leen re ported from tJlosrnn. In Oi-rmnny, and from two Hungarian towns.

She was almost universally In loved js a Christian woman and faithful wife and mother. It took longer to know her. for she was the most reticent of persons. "Ulysses got his reticence, his patience, his equable temper from his mother" Is the verdict of those who knew both father and mother. Others go farther and say: "He got his pense from his mother." Hannah Simpson seems to have gathered up and carried forward to her son Ulysses the best qualities or tier people.

Those well acquainted with court circles know that nost monarchs avoid wearing gloves whenever iossible. .The habit is not a mere whim or freak or rancy. out has sound reason at Its bottom. In a word. gloves afford an extremefy easy way to assassination. When a person Is poisoned one generally looks for the traces in the stomach of the victim. Few physicians think of looking elsewhere for the fatal drug. On this account the young Kmperor has been warned by more than one of his ministers asrainst wearing any srloves that had not.first been subjected to careful tests. .Many or those Known to be leaders or the nihilist movement are living In Italy, notably at Milan, which is a hotbed of anarchism and revolution. AVhile there they have, according to the reports of the secret po nce, spent most of their days in the Public Library of the ancient capital of Lombardy, referring frequently to things relating to toxicology. r or a long time the works which they ap peared to favor most were those published in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when poisoning was carried to an extent of perfection altogether unknown in modern times.- More than once did the attendants of the library, who had been warned by the police to keep an eye on their Russian readers, observe that slips of paper had been left in the book on poisoning by rubbing a deadly substance on the lnsido of gloves, which, penetrating the open pores of the skin heated by the glove, produced either slow or Instantaneous death, according to the character of the poison. rot much attention was given by the Russian authorities to these reports from Milan until about a year before the death of the late Emperor, when Count Tchemeretelff was killed by a pair of poisoned gloves. The count, one of the wealthiest and most powerful noblemen in Russia, was an intimate friend of Alexander. One day. summoned in haste to the Emperor, he snatched up from the side table in the ante chamber his sword, white Astrakhan bonnet and gloves, which, as usual, were laid out all ready for him. The gloves were exactly like those he always wore, even to the extent of being no longer quite fresh. They had evidently Doen clumsily pregnated with poison, for, while standing before the writing table in the library talking to the Emperor, he suddenly fell to the floor with a look of Intense agony unon his distorted features. exclaiming, "My hands, my hands." ine emperor leaned over the table. raised the count from the floor and laid him on a lounge, calling for assistance as he did so. At first the physicians believed that the count had succumbed to heart disease, but when the Emperor In describing the Incident mentioned the exclamation uttered by the dying man, their attention was drawn to his hands. Y hen ungloved, the count's hands crav forth a strange. puneenL aromatic odor. and were swollen and dtecolored. Jt was only then that it dawned UDon the medical men that the count had been assassinated by means of his gloves. On be ing subjected to chemical analysis It was shown that the gloves had been Imnrcsnated with a poison derived from an Abys sinian vegetable substance little Known in Europe. It is said that the present Emperor has had one narrow escape from poisoning by this means: and the fact that Forne time ago two of the greatest European authorities on toxicology, one from Berlin and the other from Paris, were called to tho Peterhoff palace, on the gulf of Finland, gives color to tho story. LITERATURE AND NEWSPAPERS. A Too-Streeplng Clio rncterlrnt ton of American XevspnperM. Walter Blackburn Harte, In the Lotus. Let me remark the Immense waste of talent cf a very high order In the trilling of American journalism. In France journalism from its birth has always been closely allied to literature, and from the hour that Journalism in England became the great force it Is to-day and a recognized reputable calling It has grown more and more authoritative in criticism and excellent in its own exemplars of good literature. I use the wrd "literature" advisedly. There is literature, genuine literature, in the columns of the nest and most progressive of the English papers almost every day. The American idea of literature in the renowned Sunday newspaper Is twenty thousand yards of sentimental calico romance from Bremmagem, or a steeltrap blood-and-thunder romance from Sheffield, bought unseen from the syndicate procurers of literary abortion. The London evening papers and such special editions as the Pall Mall Budget and such pages as the literary page In the Daily Chronicle are nurseries of literature. Almost every man who is figuring in the English school of new and younger writers get his first hearing for his literature in the newspapers in the Pall Mall Gazette, the St. James's Gazette, the Westminster Gazette and all sorts of weekly papers of a decided literary character. There are no similar openings for such work, undertaken in the spirit of literature, in America, not even in a center like New York city. The only journals that give any space and encouragement to any wont written with care and some attention to style. Instead of the eternal strain for cheap effectiveness, are the Evening Post and the Commercial Advertiser and the old Boston Transcript. It is rot that there is any real lack of literary ability in America, for an occasion wou'd r4uickly prove the existence of a supply. Art is not spontaneous, but needs encouragement. Of course, the main business of the newspaper is news: but since the editors have voluntarily expanded their domain to Include every department of thought and activity, it Scorns quite as feasible for them to encourage efforts to produce a worthy body of literature as to utterly unsettle. If not debauch, tiie public mind with scare-headed sensationalism. If the newspapers would give a. welcome to the best efforts of American writers there would soon be a marked improvement in the breadth and depth of American literature, and It would become more various and serious In character. But there Is not much hope of such a change in our day. A Lost 311 no. George J. Varney, in Lippincott A usual feature is that a particular Indian (sometimes with a companion or two) used -to return from the West every year at a certain moon, ostensibly for the purpose of honoring the graves of his fathers and to use again his ancestral right of hunting the deer and bear among the wild but verdurous hills; yet gossiping tar-heels hold that, really, the visits were for the purpose of opening again the concealed mine of lead or silver, whose rich spoil the sons of the forest have been seen bearing off in their packs. Another form of the story relates that a certain old hunter (always "won't tell." or now "dead." or "moved West") got all the lead for his bullets from the foot of a mountain above a cove on a certain creek; or an old counterfeiter (now "in tho penitentiary" or "lied" into unknown iKirts) used to coin quarters and halves of good silver (still seen in circulation), yet was never known to buy silver in any form. Weeks and months were spent every year In searching for these secret treasures. Occasionally the enthusiasm would mount to the height of sending far off somewhere to fetch back the "old hunter." More than once such a one has been persuaded that there was more richness in his bullets than he hud supposed; and. regretting vainly the many pounds ot good silver load that he had shot away at deer, coons, geese and other gnme. he lias lecn brought back to his old haunts. Then, with many a keen eye tracking his goings with his iKTsuading friend, weeks would be spent in brush-beating, eliff-ellmhinj? and laborious search along reeky shores, about cavernous hills, in fens, bogs and dismal dens in the deep woods, but only to the utter disappointment of all their fond anticipations. The "old hunter" finds that time has obliterated his waymarks; bush and tree and rock and rill lack the familiar asrect; and he, whose confused recollections formed the basis of vast schemes of gain, returns to his distant home dispirited and dishonored.

FROM THE OIL FIELDS

AX OLD DRILLER COMPARES ANA WITH OTHUIt PLACES. Cvidenee of Renewed Activity in the IXooMer Territory Cndahy Pipe Line Rendy for IvniMilit. Special to the InlianapolIs Journal. HARTFORD CITV, Ind.. Nov. S. V. Karnes, an oil man of this city, who has probably had a wider experience In the various nil fields of the world than any othr man In the business, relates ome very interesting facts. Karnes has visited the fields of Ru?fla. Roumanian Sumatra, Java am Australia and ha made a study of oil for many years. A little over a year ago he returned from the Island of Java, where he had rut In ten months In the oil field drilling. He started from Pittsburg. Ta., under the employ of the Oil Well Su:ily Company, lie said that In hi Judgment the oil field of Java was puperior in the point of production to any that he had visited. He tlieves It will be the field of the world In the future. Oil bubbles out of the ground at many rlaces, and wherever a hole waa duff It would fill up with oil. Purins his ten months stay on the island he drdled four wells and three were fine producers, wt lie the other contained oil, but not in such largv quantities. He rm romewhat handicapped, as the drilling outfit he had was not what is required In that country, but what Is supposed to "be perfection in this country. With the proper outnVand with the consent of the Dutch government, which Is the most important thing to get. Java will soon be developed, said Mr. Karnes. He also says that leased territory is not hard to get, and to those Interested in the oil trade of America he would say that a more productive field cannot be found. Karnes came here recently to visit his son. and has since resided here. Oil men here claim the Indiana tield is fully as good as any other field yet developed, and the wells cost less money than in Ohio, West Virginia or the Eastern fields. In this field it is seldom that a well is drilled a thousand feet, while in the southeastern field the average Is about 2.3W feet. The wells tn this State are as good as Jn any ctner. so far as great gushers have been drilled In the State, but they are yet to come. This State will tn time surprise the oil public by unearthing some wonderful gushers like the famous McMurray, Kirkbride. Hollister. Mercer. Dukat and many others in the Ohio field. All of these gushers were surrounded by light wells or dry holes, and it is thought the great Indiana field is yet in its Infancy. Oil will te pumped through the new Cudahy pipe line for the first time next week. Every inch of pipe for the new line has been laid in trenches and connected, and everything Is almost ready for the purchase of oil from Indiana producers in competition with the gigantic Standard. For a few days the Cudahys will carry their own product exclusively, but will begin buying In December, and their competition with the Standard will not lower the price of oil. A better price from the Standard caused by competition with the Cudahys will start the drill to working like In former times, when Indiana oil was at Jl per barrel. Several important deals In oil territory have taken place during the past week which are of Interest to oil men. A deal was conFummated Wednesday between G. A. Mason, of Wells copnty, and the Drummer Oil Company, of Fort Wayne, and the latter transferred their leases on the J. N. Wolfe and R. E. Haines farms, in Nottingham township, with bIx producing wells, for the sum of fS.000. The controlling interest in the Citizens' Gas and Oil Company, at Montpelier. has been sold to Kerlin Pros. & Co.. of Toledo, O.. throueh their representative. E. R. rhlllips. a well-known gas expert of Uma. The stock purchased was that on which Messrs. Derheimer, Shanklln and Shoemaker, of Montpelier, held an option, and the retiring stockholders are T. C. Palmer, Dr. White and Thomas Shrill. The purchasers own considerable gas property In the State. SULLIVAN AT EVMSVILLE. How He Escaped Arrest Ther Trial To-Dny. Ills The trial of Percy B. Sullivan will begin In the Federal Court this morning. Witnesses are here from St. Louis, Terre Haute, Vlncennes, EvansvHle, Louisville, Bowling Green, Ky., and Toledo, O. The government Is confident of establishing his guilt, as a half-dozen or more witnesses are positive In their Identification of him as the man who passed raised bills upon them. The chief detective of Evansville arrived In the city last night to look arter tho gathering of the Evansville end of the testimony. He says he and his force were looking for Sullivan for at least a week before he left Evansville. Numerous complaints were mado by persons who received the raised bills. Sullivan escaped arrest there by an accident. He applied for board at a boarding house which was crowded, and he was sent to a private family, where the police never thought to look for a transient. At Evansville he had with him the woman whom he afterwards married in Terre Haute. J1MUSEMENTS Grand "A Soldier of Fortune." That which pleases actors more than the kindest words of kindest critics is the ability to say, "We are turning them away." This means that the house is sold out; that the manager Is wearing 70 per bent, smiles, and that the star will probably take a trip to Europe for his summer vacation. Such is the situation here this week with Otis Skinner and his capable company. They "turned them away" at the Grand yesterday and the advance sale Is large for the rest of the week. In the arternoon there was given a very entertaining performance of "Lady of Lyons," though not a great production. Like every Thanksgiving the audience was mixed and not critical. In the evening it was different. The house was packed with the best judges of te higher drama the city affords. The entirely new and entertaining play, "A Soldier of Fortune," written by the star him self, was carefully staged and played in an excellent manner. If Mr. Skinner does not have a care he will establish a reputation as a producer. This Is Mr. Skinner's third season as a star and he comes with his third repertory of new plays. "A Soldier of Fortune" gives evidence of some literary ambition on the part of the author, whose talent is probably more dra matic. Its scenes are filled with -events deSigned to thrill on strictly melodramatic lines. Skinner's cultivated courtliness, line taste for dressing and proper appreciation of the value of original scenery has enabled him to give his distinctly melodrama a cultured and romantic atmosphere that is palatable to the best of theater goers. This is the trick that is making a success of Anthony Hope's plays. That much-sought-after essential by modern play builders, "atmosphere." is largely assisted by the historic cnaracters which are chosen by Mr. Skinner. He employs the names of the BorglaK the terrible Caesar and that clever mixer of poisons, his sister, Lucretiu-as well as that Florentine statesman. Macchiavelli. whom schoolboys delight to make the subject of their orations. It would require the pen of another Bulwer-Lyton to put Macchiavelli properly in a drama, and Mr. Skinner, wisely enough, ha.s not made much of the old diplomat, but has given him a beautiful ward to be captured by the villains and afterward rescued by Mr. Skin ner as Fabien Torelli on severe.' occasions. In building the play Mr. Skinner has gone to the classic drama for his. style, whicn Is brilliant at times, but he has scooped up entire armloads of sensations and heroic thrills from the modern school. The play Is interesting from the first act. One beholds a beautiful woman in agony because she cannot save the hero, who Is beinn falsely accused by a Borgia spy. Iater on through three more acts the Mime beautiful woman is tlisruisel n la Itosalind and makes love to the famed Lucretla Borgia In order to iay her debt to the hero. Lucretla may have fallen In love with a woman, but she would hardly take the woman for a man. However. Maud Durbin. the talented little woman who first bowed to the public as a protege of Mme. .Modjesku, is now blossoming out Into a most refined :nd winsome actress, and makes a delightfully diverting character out of her part. Caesar Borgia would hardly have dictated a letter to his sister to have a cardinal oisoned us Mr. Skinner makes this crafty schemer do in his plas. but it helps in giving Otis Skinner a fine opportunity for a sword play and the audience forgives the dramatist for the rare treat of seeing the actor fly Into one of hi:4 soldierly passions and strike down the villain's sword. In the third act Skinner toys with a half dozen different assions. one moment making love, then vowing vengeance, next melting in tears and soon running off in delightful comedy with an old servant. No trick of the profession Is foreign to his genius. He is constantly entertaining, whatever be his lines. Frederick Moseley impersonated Caesar was equally. strong as Lucretla. The other characters were taken with measurable success. "A Soldier of Fortune" will be reu:ated to-nlht. At the matinee to-mcrrow
