A House Committee Also Drops "Dropt" and Its Mates. Washington, Dec. 1.-"Clipt" does not go; or rather, it has gone. It -went this morning, and with it went ""dropfand "thru" and throut" and All their family friends. The sub-committee of the house Appropriations committee, which has "been wrestling with the simplified ?pelling problem all this week, reach? ed a conclusion today, and the second -dull thud struck the simple spellers. The first dull thud was administered hy the United States supreme court ?orne weeks ago. The sub-committee has been de? bating the question whether to let Public Printer Sailing's spelling stand cr start it on the run. Once it al? most reached the conclusion that the hest way would be to pass it up to .congress*by putting both spellings in the bill, one spelling being garbed in parentheses and tho other standing forth unsupported: J hen the house, cohfronted by Noah Webster and Brander Matthews on the same page, could decide what to do about the ap? palling situation thus presented. Today, however, the sub-committee summoned ail the courage of its con? victions and decided to give its sup? port to the supreme court instead of the administration. It then summon? ed Mr. Stillings before it to hear its .decree. There was nothing brutal about it; on the contrary, the sub-committee ?was very nice to him. Instead of saying rudely, "Mr. Stillings, we have tried your spelling, and it has given us astigmatism, and henceforth you wri?l give us the spelling that mother used to make," they informed him that he would be expected to spell the appropriation bills "in accordance with current law." Mr. Stillings said he would do so, and retired, accompanied by "dipt." ?"dropt," and "kist,"-New York Times. -mmtwrn^Wl***********^---c*-?-m FRECKLES AND PIMPLES REMOVED In Ten Days.

"Washington, Dec. 3.-The war de? partment is preparing for an investi I gation by congress of the case of the companies of the 25th infantry re? cently discharged without honor by order of President Roosevelt, and to this end has compiled a record of ne? gro troops, dating back to the civil war. It is said that this record dis? closes a state of affairs not generally known, and that once before at least the 25th infantry "shot up a town." The affair happened in 1885 at Fort Sturgis, Dakota. Some of the negro soldiers went on a rampags similar to that at Brownsville Texas, and one of their number killed a citizen. In that case, however, the citizens took the matter into their own hands, forced the troopers, under pain of death, to disclose the name of the man who did the killing and then took him out and lynched him. BLOW TO PROHIBITION. Hereafter Liquor Cannot Be Seized by Constables at Depots. Washington, Dec. 3.-A decision handed down today by the United States supreme court places the shipment of whiskey into the State of South Carolina under the inter? state commerce law until the goods are actually delivered into the pos? session of the consignee, so that con? stables may not seize liquor in the railroad depots .vhich has been ship? ped from another State. Under the constitution of the Uni? ted States every resident in South ?arolina is free to receive for his own use liquor from other States. The de? cision was in the case of Paul Hyman of Augusta, Ga., vs. the Southern Railway company, brought up on ap? peal from the supreme court of Geor? gia, and it reverses the Georgia de? cision. The whiskey in question was ship? ped from Georgia upon order from P. B. Wise and H. D. Harkins of Charleston, S. C., in March, 1902. It was placed in the warehouse of the Southern Railway company in Charleston and no notice was given the consignee of its arrival. It was seized by constables without war? rant, upon the ground that it was shipped across the border of the State contrary to police regulations of South Carolina. The Southern Rail? way agent made no objection to the seizure, stating that he was yielding to legal authority. Suit was brought by Paul Heyman of Augusta against the Southern Railway company for the amount of the goods, as the pay? ment from the purchasers was condi? tioned upon the actual "delivery" of the goods. The precise definition of "delivery" has been a question at issue. The supreme court of Georgia held that the seizure was legal, declaring that the interstate transportation of the goods en c ed when they were placed in the warehouse and the rail? road company was thereafter liable | only as a warehouseman. They could, therefore, be seized by the constables. The United States supreme court i reverses this and says the goods have not "arrived" till they have been ac? tually delivered.-The State.
