Tho mortal remains of tho Into Carl Morton wero consigned to their last resting plnco by tho Hldo of his mother In tho family lot nt WyuUa cemetery this afternoon. Tho services wore conducted by Rov.

Tho train wns jnot at tho station hero by moro than -00 of tho business and laboring men nt tho CHANGE OF CLIMATE. Not Xrcenry In Order in Cure Cut nrt'li. Tho popular Idea that the only euro for chronlo catarrh Is a chango of cllmnto Is n mlstnke because catarrh In found ln all ell mates In nil sections of tho country; and even It a chnngn of climate should benollt for n time, tho catarrh will certainly re turn. Catarrh may be readily cured In any climate, but tho only wuy to do It Is to destroy or removo from tho system tho ca tarrhal germs which causo all tho mis chief. Tho trentment by Inhnlers, sprays, pow ders nud wnshofl has been proven almost useless In making n permanent, cure, ns they do not reach tho seat of disease, which Is In tho blood nnd can bo reached only by nn Internnl remedy which nets through tho stomach upon tho blood and system gener ally. A now discovery which Is meeting with remarknblo success In curing catarrh of thothcad. throat and bronchial tubes and also cntarrh of Iho stomach, Is sold by druggists under tho namo of Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets. Theso tablets, which nro pleasant nnd hnrmloss lo tnko, owe fhelr efllclcncy to tho ncttve medicinal principles of lllood Root Red Gum and n new specific cnlled Gualacol, which together with valuable antiseptics aro combined In convenient, palatable tablet form, and aa valuable for children ns for adults. Mr, A. R. Fombnnk of Columbus, Ohio, says; I suffered so many winters from Ca tarrh that I took It Is a matter of course, nml that nothing could euro It excopt n ehnngo of climate, which my business nf- falrs would not permit mo to take. My nostrils wero almost always clogged up, I had to brent lie through tho mouth, causing nn luflnmed, Irritated thront. The thought of eating breakfast often nnusoated mo nnd tho catarrh gradually getting Into my stomnch took away my nppcllto nnd dlgcstlou. My d'ugglst ndvUed mo to try n fifty cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Toblots, becauso he said ho had so many customers who had been cured of Catarrh by tho uso of theso tablets, that ho flit ho could honestly rec emmend them. I took his ndvlce and used noveral boxes with results that surprised and delighted me. I nlways keep n box of Stuart's Catarrh Tabluls In tho houso and tho whole family uso them freely on the first appearanco of a cough or cold ln tho head. With our children wo think thero Is noth ing so safe nnd reliable ns Stuart's Catarrh Tablots to wurd off croup and colds and with older peoplo I hnvo known of cases whore the hearing had been seriously Im paired by chronlo catarrh cured entirely by tins uww rvuicuy. cliy, who escorted tho remains to Arbor Lodge. Despite n heavy snowstorm, which brR.in hhoul 10 o'clock, tho homo wns entirely In ntlcqnatc to accommodate all thoso who wished to ray their last respects.

Replying, Mr. Coudert expressed the opin ion thnt such n condition might exist tem porarily nnd ho ndded thnt tho supreme court had recognized It In dealing with Tnmplco, In tho coso of Flcmlnj? against Page, nnd In dealing with California In the enso of Cross against Hnrrlson beforo tho acquisition of California by tho United States was completed Mr. Coudert contended thnt ln a case of acquisition the dividing line Is passed when n treaty of acquisition Is signed and rati fied. "When," ho said, "we sanction acquisi tion by the ratification of n trcnty wo thus signalize our control of and sovereignty over thnt territory." This, ho asserted, had been dono In tho caso of Porto Rico ln the treaty of 1S9S and by tho treaty Porto Rico had become ns much n part of the United States as California had heenmo ln the pro ceedings subsequent to the wnr with Mexico. Mr. Coudert then resumed his regular argument, taking up tho question ns to what part of tho constitution applies to Porto Illco. Ileforo ho concluded Mr. Coudert wns sub jected to a number of questions from tho bench nnd obtained leave to lllo n supple mentnry brief, which It Is presumed will contain replies to them. Kxtctiil Over Xiitlomtl Diiiiinln. Mr. Coudert was followed by Alphonso C. Hart, who spoko especially of tho Arm strong caso In which tho question Invotved Is tho collection of duty on goods shipped from New York to Porto Rico. He con tended that tho constitution of tho United States extends over every portion of tho national domain, whether stnte, territory or district. He also argued that the prcsl dent, being nn exccutlvo ofllccr, Iiob no right to Impose duties on commerce between Porto Rico nnd "other parts of tho United States by executive order after tho ratlft cation of tho Paris treaty." "Tho Idea," ho said, "that ln ono portion of tho country the exccutlvo and leglslatlvo authority Is subject to restrictions nnd Is without restriction In another part Is re pugnant to tho theory of our government nnd ennuot bo tolerated Thero Is, said he, no such thing ns divided sovereignty half empire and half republic, half Spanish nud half American II. W. Ward, counsel for Dooler, Smith & Co., laid especial stress upon tho fact that tho position of tho Porto RIcan law providing for tho collection of duties Is separate from other parts of that law and It Is limited In operation In point of tlmo to March 1, 1902. Ho characterized It as n makeshift to provide revenues for tho Islnnd of Porto Rico nnd said It was there fore not entitled to the same favorablo pre HUlnptlon that It Otherwise WOUld liaVO been "".mover 10 mouvo or U10 provision it wns to his mind n plain violation of tho censti tullon nud ho quoted numerous authorities in support of tho nUitemcnt. Government. t'ne Pi-eien'eil When Mr. Ward finished, Solicitor Gen eral Richards began tho contention of tho government's sido of tho controversy, giv ing special attention to the effect of tho ratification of Iho Purls treaty upon the re lation of this country nnd Porto Rico. Ho said that denlnl of tho power which Is be Ing exercised by tho president anil congress nmounts to snying that ceded territory bo- comes by tho act of cession nn integral part of tho United Stntcs to which tho constltu tlon of Its own force npplles, placing ltf people, Its products nnd Its ports on nn Im mediate equality with ours and also ex tending tho constitutional limitations io such countries. If thbi wiih llm rutin unlit IM, ninhnril Ihn ln.nl v.tiinUIni- tmunr In ncnulrlnc territory Is necessnrllv limited to providing for Iho moro act of cession It is thus," ho said, "stripped of Its proper functions, It cannot treat; It Is lame Impotent, Impossible, ridiculous. Mr. Richards argued that newly acquired territory becomes "not n part but a poa session of tho United Stntcs territory be- longing to tho United States nnd ho went on to say, "Its disposition nnd government rests, under tho constitution with tho treaty making power nnd with congress." liiMtlce llowiuuii .k ( tlrl Inn. "Then does such territory fall within tho provision which requires duties to bo as sessed upon foods nrrivlng from a foreign country?" nskod Justlco Ilrown Heforo Mr. Richards could reply ho put t no quest ton in a different shnpe, saying "Does It not cense to be u foreign country?' To this query Mr. Rlrhnrds answered: "I think nol; not within tho nunnlng of tho custom.! laws. "Tho Dingley law treated ns foreign nil territory outsldo tho limits of tho UnltPd States, leaving tho state and territories then created for customs purposes ns the United States and that condition remains until congress may seo fit to chango It." Continuing, Mr. Richards contended thai tho president hns not power to extend flic limits of tho United States, hut that the leglslatlvo branch of the government may do co upon whatever terms It may hco fit. Ho said further that the parties to the treaty botlilinew that Iho location nnd con dition of tlio Islnnds ncqulred by tho wnr with Spain would not permit their Incor porntlon Into the United Stntcs nnd tho np- pllcntlou to them of those laws which the constitution requires to bo uniform through out tho United Stntcs. "Certainly." he went on, "tho treaty nover Intended to mnko theso tropical Islands n part of tho United Stntcs In the constitutional senso nnd Just ns certainly did make them a pari of tho United States Mr. Richards had about half concluded his nrgument when tho court adjourned for tho day.
