This ease is one of the two important cases left undecided by the court at its last term when it decided a number of cases involving the customs relation of the United States with its insular possessions.

Be teatided that the daoees at the Kenmore were usually arranged by Mrs. Bdnine, and that at these donees her bearing toward Ayres wa nothing out of the ordinary. It had been her habit, he said, when the dancers were not prompt in their attendance, to go to their rooms and urge them SO come down. He stated on trons eXaOltlS ti..n that he understood it had been Mrs. Bonine's intention to leave the hotel, but after the tragedy he ad-vi-ed her that it would be improper to do so until the affair was IcareJ up. Richard J. ienks testified that hi heard Mrs. Bouifle giving Ayres advice against drinking to excess. fjeorge B.

The principal object of the exposition is to make a fully reprcs. ntatlvc display of the manufacturing program aad commercial esjesfbflftle of the eounlry and particularly of the southern slates. . rommerciol problem at this time confronts tho south, and. perhaps, the supreUtn purpose of the fair is to olve it. The gre-it edVaaee in the number of cotton mills constructed and the output of finished products has created n purp! US of cotton goods. of thii product. ( httia was at one time th" lare-est consumer outside of the home markets. The recent dfotUlfjtnoe hi that country, however, has virtually paralysed the ajarhete, an! the homo surplus multiplies. Tho principal undeveloped markets in close tOUch with the south are in t he West Indies, and it is hoped, throucrh the Medium of full displavs at th exposition, to establish trade relations vvith that part of the world. The exposition site occupies aboUt one hundred and sixty acres of land on the bank of the Ashley, with a frontage of S.000 feel on the rlvetv I he architecture of the buildings follows closely the styles which were hs I rod need at the Chicago World's fair.
