NUNS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The Supreme Court of Pennsylva? nia Decides in Their Favor. PITTSBURG, PA.-Justice Dean, of the State Supreme Court, to-day hand? ed down an opinion ia the ease of John Hysong, et al., vs. the school district of Galiitsin borough, on appeal from Judge Barker, of the court below, who refused an injunction to. .prevent nans from teaching in the publuc schools, dressed In the garb of the order. Jos tice Bean affirms Judge Barker's deci? sion. In his opinion, which is lengthy, be says: "The conrt after fall heariug, found as a fact: "There was no evidence of any religions exercises of any character whatever during school boars. Hat the court, farther, fnand that after school hours, the sehool-room was used by the teachers in imparting Catholic religions instruction to children of Catholic parents, with the consent of, or by re? quest of. the parents. This the court enjoined, because it was a ase of the school property for sectarian purposes after school hours. "As to the fact admitted, that of the eight teachers six of them were sisters of a religious order of the Catholic Ch arch, and while teaching wore the . habit of their order, the learned judge of the court below says. 4 We co ucind e as to this branch of the case that in the absence of proof that religions sectarian instruction was imparted by them during fcho?l hoon*, or religious secta r?an exercises engaged in.- we cannot restrain by iojaction members of the order of Sisters of St. Joseph from teaching in the public schools in the garb of their order, nor the school .directors from employing or permitting them to act in thar capacity/' "In this case the school-board1 com? muted no unlawful act in selecting these Catholic women as teachers, be? cause by moral character and certified attainments they were qualified, and their religion did not disqualify. The dress is bat the announcement of the fact the wearer holds a particular belief. The religious belief of teachers and al! others is generally known to the neigh? borhood and to the pupils, even if not made noticeable in the dress, for that belief io not secret, bot is publicly pro? fessed "Io the sixty years of existence of oar present school system that is the first time this court has been asked to decide as matter of law that it is sec? tarian teaching for a devout woman to appear io a school-room ia a dress peculiar to a religious organization of a Christian church ; we decline to do so[; the law does not so say." Janice Williams filed a dissenting opirn?n. In it he says : ..T-c question presented on thi* state of facts, whether a school thar is filled with religious, ecclesiastic persons as teachers, who come in the discharge of their daily duties wearing the reli? gious garb, and hang about with the . rosaries and other devices peculiar to their charch and order, are not neces? sarily dominated by sectarian influences, and obnoxious to the spirit of the con? stitutional provisions sod the school laws "If io some other borough school Episcopalian clergymen should appear in their robes, and if Catholic priests should appeal to the courts, I should no more doubt their right to relief thao ? doubt the rights of the plaintiffs io this case.*' Stephen Collins, ex-Srate Councillor of the Junior O. U. A. M., io discuss? ing the decision of the Supreme Court io the GalHtzio school case, said : "It only makes it more obligatory OD the Junior O U. A. M. to take the matter to the legislature of the State, aod have it pass laws prohibiting the wearing of cost urnes of any religions sect or order io schools. We have not the least doubt that it is ao offense agaiost the spirit of the school laws, bat it hardly is agaiost the letter of the law. Sac h a thing is not provided for. At its last meeting the State council appointed a committee oo legislation, which was instructed to prepare a bill remedying the fault, and place it before the nest legislature at its next session. That bill will be prepared, and will go before the legislature."-From Baltimore Ameri? can. COTTON M?N'S CONVENTION. MONTGOMERY, Ala , Nov. 14.-The cotton growers' convention reassembled to day aod organized an association to be national in its scope, for the better protection of the planters' interests The committee on statistics was in? structed to obtain and arrange for the ase of the convention, official statistics of cotton, the price for the past ten years, etc. The president of the con? vention. Com mission er Lane of Ala? bama, read a statement showing by the census returns that resolutions oo the j part of the planters to restrict acreage j have been followed by a decreased out- ! pat of cottoo. The resolatioos of the committee continued with special reso- j lati?os subsequently offered and adopt- j ed by the convention cover the follow- : ing subjects : 1. Reduction of cotton acreage and increased attention to the production of j cereals. 2. Greater attention to stock and j cattle raising. o. Encouragement of immigration, j The resolution advises that large plan- i tations be divided into small farms j and the latter be sold to bone fide home j seekers. 5. Recommending that cotton be with? held from sale by farmers who are not in debt to their factors, and that it be held for a rise-"which may reasonably j be expected if present heavy receipts are appreciably reduced." 6. The organization of the Cotton Planter's Association of the United States of American to meet at least twice a year and to consist of four dele? gates from the Congressional districts io the cotton growing States and three delegates at large from each State ap? pointed by the Governors nf such States, irrespective of party preference, said association is to bold its first meer? ing in Jackson, Miss., the second Wednesday in January, 1895. 7. Cotton seed trusts are condemned. 8- Congress is petitioned to pass the a o ti-option bill. 9. Congress is requested to refund the cotton tax collected in 1866-'67. The convention theu organized the new association by electing officers to serve uutii the January meeting as follows : Governor James Stone of Mississippi, president; Hon. JST- 0. Waddell of Georgia, and Commissioner of Agricul? ture, vice president; Robert E. Eck berger, of Alabama, secretary and Prof. James Smith of Georgia, Treas? urer. The chairman of the convention was requested to issue an address to all business interests asking co-opera? tion in obtaining the objects of the as? sociation. The fol low tu g resolution was also adopted : Resolved, That the honest conviction of this convention as prac? tical cotton growers, is that the esti? mates that are being sent hy the cot? ton exchanges in reference to the crop are excessive, and it is the belief of this convention, bated upon practical observation, and the best statistical information, that the present crop will not exceed eight and a half million bales. The convention then adjourned, sine die. Where Did He Get It? State, Nov. 16. The State bas received the following communication : EDGEPUSLD, S. C., Nov, 14, '94 To the Editor of The State-lu your issue of the 12th inst., you io an edi? torial make charges against Governor Tillman which, if true, should be in? vestigated and shown up to the people of Sooth Carolina. If no trae, the peo? ple should kuow that an honest mao is being defamed, aod your intimations should be corrected. First. It ia a (act that be bas paid in cash for his recent purchase at Trenton, S. C., $6.500? Second. How many mortgages and for what amounts, were over bis farms at the time of bis election aa Governor ? How many of these mortgages have been cancelled since he has been in office, and to wham ban the money been paid ? it is in your power ?o answer these questions from the public recorda, if you are after the truth, and correct or establish the insinuations you have made. (Diotated.) Yours respectfully. J. B. DAVIS We don't know who J. B. Davis, of Edgefield, is, and are quite unadvised as to his right of guardianship over Governor Tillman's Integrity. Our be? lief is that B. R. Tillman is twenty-one years of age, of unimpaired mental powers, and capable both of writing and speaking at will ; and we know that he lives here in the city of Columbia and is the person most concerned in any ques? tion relating to bis official integrity. Nevertheless, we waive these considera? tions and promptly publish Mr. Davis's letter. What The State said was this : "A correspondent at Trenton informs us that the price of Governor Tillman's newly purchased farm in that neigh? borhood is $6,5U0 or $6,700. When Tillman started out as a reformer of "fishy things" it is said that his farms i on the other side of the county were mortgaged for about $10,000 and that he was so poor that his brother George had to loan him the money to make his campaign for Governor. Since that time be bas received about $13,500 io salary, but the indebtedness he entered j office with bas been discharged and be can afford to buy a $6,500 estate Here is an apparent profit of $16,500 on $13,500 salary, less four years' liv? ing expenses. His excellency is thrif? ty ; but, as the New York World used to inquire about Boss (taker's money. 'Where did he get it It will be observed that Mr. Davis misquotes The State in a somewhat peculiar manner. We said nothing about his haviug "paid in cash for bis recent purchase at Trenton." Possibly Governor Tillman has not paid "cash," and may be able to Drove that much. Again : We said notbiog about his having had mortgages on his farms "at the time of bis election as Governor." What we did allege was thai; it was said that they were mortgaged for about $10,000 'when he started out as a re? former of "fishy things'"-and that was some time before his election. God puts our prayers, like rose leaves, between the pages of His book of remembrance, and when the volume is opened at last there shall bc a pre? cious fragrance springing up therefrom. -Spurgeon. -- .V-1 j Vf. A. McGuire, a well known citizen of McKay, Ohio, is of the opinion that there is j nothing as good for children troubled with ! colds or croup as Chamberlain's Cough Rem- i edy. He has used it in his family tor seve- ; ral years with the best results and always j keeps a bottle of it in the bouse. After hav- J ing la grippe be was himself troubled with j a severe cough. He used other remedies ! without benefit and then concluded to try j the children's medicine and to bis delight it j soon effected a permanent cure. 25 and 50 ! cent bottles for sale by Dr. A. J.

In the West Indies and Central America every physician is familiar with the peculiar effects. In Mexico it is a penal offense to sell the drug. In Cuba it is a capital offense. Dr. Peabody io the Medical Record, says that in all sorts of sickness, and especially in fevers, attention should be paid to the appetite and desire of thc patient, and that, if a patient is really hungry, solid food, of a properly se? lected kind and in judicious quantit?s, will rarely disagree with him. Dr. Peabody believes there is less danger of doing harm to an ulcerated ileum in typhoid fever by giving finely divided egg, beef, or chop, than by giving milk, and habitually gives bis typhoid patients who are hungry such food. He believes that it is a mistake to with? hold solid food merely because a patient bas fever, and that it is incor? rect to regard milk as a fluid food as is commonly the case-the simple fact being that milk will always remain the most serviceable general food in disease, but, where it fails to nourish the patieut, or where it is not well borne, or for any reasou cannot be takeu, it is to be considered that ef? ficient adjuncts ano substitutes are within reach.

Delgar team left Tuesday night on the tn due here at 8.45, but which was one and half hours behind time, and was conseque ly delayed in its arrival at Columbia. N withstanding this fact, however, the Colu bia firemen were on hand, AS true hosts, great Dumbers to welcome their opponei from the Game Cock Farm, (Sumter.) Tht was also a Urge crowd of the Sumter visit? at the depot to meet them. Sumter firem were escorted to the Grand Central hotel, Columbia's firemen, and a number of t Capital city's most distinguished citizet The night was pleasan'ly spent. Every coi trsy and kindness was extended to Sumte firemen by Mayor Sloan and Aldermen. T Fire Commissioners aod different fire coi pan tes aod citizens generally, tried and su ceeded in giving our firemen a nice time. The Reel Contest CArae off in the af ternoc Sumter took both Stat prizes-all that it w possible for them to take. The first race was 100 yards $30 to fir? $15 to second. The Columbias made the first run, fol lowe I by the Sumter team and the Palmettoes las i The Suintera won ; time 32 2-5 ; Columbia second. The second race was a grab $20 to firs $10 to second. The conditions of this race were as follows "The team tu run 50 yards, grab reel ati run 50 \ ards to plug, stretch not less th? 48 feet of hose, Attach the same so plug H ti throw water. Couplings ?n grab rene to t made with one full thread or turn. The ru li governing this contest will be the same as i the reel contest : the team running first i reel rotneit shall also run first in grab rao Any protest must be made with the judge before leaving the ground." This race was made in the same order a the first and won by the same companies.

A geoerat invita tion was extended io all Sumter visitors '.< partake of the fatted calf of Columbia, ant smoke of the pipe of peace, between the Capi tnt and Game Cock cities. Sumter had con quered Columbia; Columbia had surrenderee and there was A feast after the battle-royal Before supper Mayor Sloan delivered an ad dress of welcome, and took occasion to saj that '-Hie Independents and Delgar Reel Co No. 3 should meet." That the Independents should meet and would defeat the Delgai Reel squad. His remarks were appropriate, kind and interesting, and the Sumter boys gave three cheers for Columbia. Mr. A. G. Flowers responded to the ad? dress of welcome in behalf of Sumter, and said, among other things, that if the Inde? pendents of Colombia defeated Delgar Reel Squad of Sumter, the Game Cocks would die, as true game cocks-in the pit. After the supper, several speeches were made, Mr. Isaac Strauss, of Sumter, was called upon And made A pleasant And appro? priate speech. Ex-Mayor Fisher, Chairman of the Fair Committe, which arranged the firemen's tournament, was called upon and responded briefly and to the point. . The entire trip of Sumter's crack reel squad was indeed,pleasant (and also profit? able,) and Sumter and Columbia are linked together tn ties of friendship and good will. Columbia stood by Sumter in ber first Car? nival-so did Columbia's firemen. Sumter and her firemen have returned the compli? ment to Columbia, and like Columbia did, Sumter brought back some gala week tin. Delgar Reel Company will, at an early date, contest with the Independents, and have pot up $200 to Columbia's $150, to say that Delgar Reel Squad of Sumter can knock out the Independents m the first round. The Game Cock money bas been covered, and tbe matter will soon be decided. The contest will take place on neutral ground. Three cheers acd a tiger for Delgar Reel Squad, and many thanks and best wishes to the city on the Coogaree. A Suggestion. In view of the fact that the members of Delgar Reel Squad No. 3 have conducted themselves in such a gentlemanly manner, and reflected much credit upon the Game Cock City, and ' as the citizen are taking much interest in the fire department suppose the Delgar Reel Squad gives an exhibition run on Thaugsgiving Day. Or perhaps it would not be a bad idea for Monaghan No. 2, aod Delgar No. 3, to have a contest among themselves. Nothing like rivalry, you tknow. Our people would be proud to witness such au event. The following story of the Duke of Wellington is told in the Christian Com? monwealth : "It was a rule of his grace's household that all visitors should atteud worship ounday. One excused himself on tho ground that he was a Roman Catholic and there was no chapel'near. His grace caused ioquiry to be made, found there was one thirty miles off, aud the guest was informed that a carriage and four were in wait- ; ing to take bim there. As a matter of fact he was not a Roman Catholic, but simply had pleaded that as an excuse. However, he had to go nolens voleus, and arrive back to dinner after his in? voluntary drive ot sixty miles-" Odorless Flowers, j One who has taken a walk through i Shaw's garden will hardly believe the assertion that the majority of the flow? ers of the world are without odor, but such is the case. Take the flora of Eu? rope as an illustration. Four thousand and two hundsed species and varieties of flowers have been named and classi? fied by the botanists of that country, and it has been found that less than 10 per cent of the whole give forth distin? guishable odors or haye perceptible colors. The Very commonest flowers of the world are white, colorless varieties predominating by at least one-third, and only one-sixth of that class are odorifer? ous. In Europe there are 1,194 species of white flowers, only 200 of which are fragrant. In the same country they have 951 kinds of yellow flowers, of which number only 77 are odoriferous. Out of 823 varieties of red flowers they only have 84 that give forth odor, and in 9 of these "the smell is far from being fragrant. " Of the 594 blue species only 34 are fragrant and of the 508 violet blues only 13. Next week we will give a "note" entitled "The Odor of Flow? ers, " which will give many curious points in that branch of botanical knowledge.-St. Louis Republic. Three Suns and an Inverted Rainbow. The following is taken literally word for word from a rare copy of the Brigh? ton (England) Advertiser of June 6, 1797: "A rare phenomenon is reported from St. Malo. Recently during the aft? ernoon, between the hours of 4 and 5, three perfect suns were seen all in a row . above the western horizon. The sky was very clear at the time, and there was no one who saw the unusual sight that be- j lieves it to have been a mirage or other | atmospheric illusion. The central ? seemed more brilliant than his two lu? minous attendants, and between' the three there seemed to be a communica? tion in the shape of waves of light com? posed of all the prismatic colors. At about the same time a rainbow made its appearance at a short distance above the central sun, upside down-that is to say, the two ends pointed toward the zenith and the bow's neck toward the horizon."
