XIb . had lain for only one day Instead of three on the tables of members if the New York legislature. Justice .Holmes di posed of all the objections to the Ne ' York statute in succession. Of, the contention that a tax on sales is a ti : on property, he said in part: "W'lia ever the right oi parties engaged Injcommerce among the states, a sale l'Pends in part on the law of the .ste where it takes place for Its valldit. , and in the courts of that state, at ie t for the mode of proof. No one rmld contest the power to enact a iatute of frauds for such transactions. therefore the state may make parties ay for the help of Its laws, so far this objection Is concerned.' With reference -th the argument that tne tax is an interference with Inter state commerce he jmtlined the court's position as follows! "There is not a ibadow. of a ground for calling the transaction described such commerce, .'the bargain was not affected In an-y way, legally or prac tlcally, by the fft that the parties happened to have come from another state before they inade it. It does not appear that the petitioner came Into New York to sell his stock, as it was put in his behrlf. It appears only that he sold after coming into the state. But we are far from implying that it would iave made, any differ ence if he had couie to New York with the supposed intent neot any bargain was niaae." POSTOFFICE FRAUD OK TJ$, House Passed a Bill Providing For Judicial Review. ,'; Washington, Jan. 8. -rThe 'homse passed a bill providing for a Judicial I review of orders1 excluding persona from the use of the United States mall facilities, after a debate lasting most of the session. This debate was par ticipated In by Representatives- Crum packer (Ind.), the author of the bill; Overstreet (Ind.)', Dalzell (Pa.), Lit tlefield (Me.), Perkins (N. Y.), and Mann (111..), who led the opposition. In arguing that the bill should be passed, Mr. Crumpacker said the pow-' er given the postmaster general, un der the statutes, to issue fraud orders was not all in the nature of adminis trative discretion. It partook rather of the nature of a aollce power for the regulation of the morals of the people of the country. . ".'' Mr. Mann read Several advertise ments whlcB he said seemed to show that concerns were still doing busi ness which VBbt to'come within tha scope of fraud orders. He said the bill was defective and . that' there should be no. permitting doubtful con cerns to fleece the public. , XT ' Judgment Against Hyde and Others.

It will serve the purpose of a monunent to Its builder. -The tower will be so solidly con structed that 'the elements are not expected to Injure it for centuries. It will have many windows and observa Hon qnenlngs. It is not Mr. Ludlng ton's idea that the room in the tower shall be wasted. Instead there will be eight floors fitted up and furnished. The second floor will be a meeting room for deacons and board members, As a finishing feature it Is probable that a set of chimes will be installed and that the tower will regulate time in the West End residence-district, ' Requisition For William Stlnson. Albany, Jan. 8. Governor Hughes granted a requisition for William Stln son of Terre Haute, Ind., on the charge of burglary.

Women as n class are credited with , haying no scruples about opening a book at the middle or end or anywhere else tliey may expect to find the most Interesting chapter. A frequent fern nlno visitor at libraries was overheard revealing to a friend of her own sex her secret of locating at once the most thrilling chapter in any book, no mat ter' how unfamiliar one may be with It. "You simply close It tight," she said,, ?nud glance along tbe edge of the leaves. ' It Is seldom, Indeed, that you do not notice a distinct line, or even more than one, caused by n numbei of edges soiled slightly . more than those about them. Open the book there aud you have the beat chapter." ' A librarian explained this by saying that the reading and rereading of the par ticularly interesting chapters of a book naturally cuuso certain pages and their edges to be more soiled. Of course the ' longer the book bus been In circula tion tbe more distinct are the marks. Philadelphia Record. , . , A Bit of FnlryUnd.
