Tho Festive Knight Of the Grip,

Do you know that there are about
sc, 0,0O0commereial& &sYelers In the United
States? SuprSed TO hear it? Yes, most
people are when they sre told of it, but
It's fact, nevertheless. You may also
be sngprised to learn that every one of
them spends on an average $1,000 q
year, or total of S240, 100000. If you
add to this their salaries, averaging at
least 81, 600, you have total expendi-
sgse tyr b By commercia! travellers Of $780,
GOO, 1000 year. This is naturally spent
in al parts Of the country, but the hotels
and railroads get the lions share of it.
During, the lsst ten years there has been

The Supreme Court of the United States
Yesterday decided that State Legislature
can legislate upon matters pertaining to the
public health, even though such legislation
may destroy what has hitherto been consld-
cred legitimate business. The decision
was upon the validity of the Pennsylvania
statute making it unlawful for any person
to manufacture or sell any imitation OF
butte7 or cheese. The court held that the
act was valid; that the Legislature has an
undoubted right 10 suppress the sale OF
manufacture of any article it may regard
as prejudicial to the health of the public,
Judge Harlan, who read the decision Of
the court, held that it was not necessary tc
inquire whether the act was wise or other
wise. That is matter for the people who
elect legislatures to determine. Whatever
may be thought of the wisdom or proprietJ
of the legislation in dispute, there can bt
no question about the right OF the State
Legislature to enact it and the decision o.
the court is in line with many others up
holding the power of the State to regulate
its own affairs.-Phiiadelphia Times, 10th

Empress previous to her departure Tor

Of the sufferers by the floods.
The Empress arrived at Posen this after

municipal and other officials, and was every

leaders have issued manifesto asking the
inhsbitants of Posen to sink their national
disputes and unite in welcoming the En-
press. In reply to the deputation which

his inability to come himself, had sent her
to examine as to the condition of affairs and
to report to him. The persons who have
been prominent in helping the sufferers by
the foods were presented to the Empress,
who thanked them for their efforts to
alleviate the distress among the people.

the Empress ct the Posen station and pre-
sented to her the leading officials of the dep
utation and the relief committee, composed
of officers of the Second Hussars. Arch
bishop Dinder and q number of Protestant
and Catholic clergy were also present. The
read from the station to the town was lined
with trade guilds, carrying flags and en-
blems, the Landwekr associations and
school children. The Empress drove slowly
and was incessantly cheered BY the people
She first visited the asylum, large school
house where the homeless are temporarily
lodged, and thence went to the Governors s
house, where she took lunch. Addressing
Councillor Jacobs, the lEmpress said: 81
commission you to express to all taking a
helpful part in the present danger the
thanks of the Emperor and myself. The
calamity that has befallen you arouses our
deepest sympathy and We hope to alleviate
the suffering as far as human help can
allieviats them"
Speaking of Kli.sing, the: Empress said:
''The old sseadfsssness Of the people OF the
Marx has once more been tried and proved.
The Emperor is especially thankful for
their conduct. p
Itisssased today that Prince Bismarck
has abandoned his opposition to the mar

THE LILY OF THE NILE.

You know that great white lily
That stately cup Of creamy snow
That rears an alabaster lamp,
With broad green blades below?
Madge has, within her chamber,
This scion Of Nilotian race
To typify the purity
That reigns about the place.
One day bud, fresh opened,
Shone out flower, full bloom and fair,
And Madge-it was way Of hers
Bent down and kissed it there.
Her ripe, rcd lips touched softly
Upon the cup Of creamy snow
Oh. would that I q lily were
That Madge might kiss me so.

PowDERLY AND HOURS OF WORK
He Urges the knights to Perfect Practical
Plan.

Plan.
New YORK, April 10.-Generl Master
Workman Powderly has written letter tc
the Knights Of Labor throughout the coun'
try in regard to hours of labor. He advises
Knights to discuss the eight-hour plan dis.
passionately with their employers. He says
that an immediate change cannot be insisted
on. but that practical plan should be per
fected.
He says that the workingmen and com,
mon people generally rule cities and towns
and they should vote for mer who favor
shortening the hours Of labor of municipal
employees. The order, he says, must not be
dragged into partisan politics, but the mem
bers should take an active part as citizens
in the movement. He continues:
begin at once to perfect practical plan
of operations looking to the inauguration
of the eight hour day. Pass no resolutions
of any kind, but work on the plan and
when the times comes to put it in operation
it can be done without resolutions.
Consult employers, get their views, ar
range with them for meetings to perfect
plans and make an attempt to bring about
q better feeling between the workingmen
and employers than has existed for some
time back
lit Is true that many employers will not
condescend to meet with or talk to their
employees. Purse proud worms, who are
to be classed among the Ignorant rich,
will live to stand in their own and the com
munity's light for ages to come, but the
world does not move around them. The
day is coming in this land when the en-
ployer who has the manhood, the patriotism
and the sense to talk in Straightforward
way to his employees will be entitled to
and will receive more honor and wealth
than the selfish fellow upon whom fortune
has showered riches and nothing else. Our
members should not miss an opportunity
to discuss some plank in our preamble at
each meeting during the coming year.
Take up the eight hour plan and discuss it
side by side with the one which calls for
the establishment of governmental tele-
graph. u

that he neglected the girl, and while she

Lewis denied an the charges and claimed
that his affection for Mrs. Carvanno was
purely platonic. The case was tried in

AFooTMAN's GOOD LUCK.
He Falls Heir to Fortune OF Thirty Thous
and Dollars.

Sydney Fl. Phipps, young Engllshman
20 years of age, employed as footman by
LAWYER G. T. Bispham at 1905 De Lencey
Place, has received word that he has fallen
heir to fortune of $50, 900. He received
q letter last Saturday from his mother, who
lives in Liverpool, England, notifying him
of the death of his grandfather, N. a.
Chriaman, money broker at Chelting CHAM,
who had made him joint heir with her.
Young Phipps has been in this country
since May, 1885, and has been employed
by DR.. Stewart, of Broad street, and others,
and latterly with Lawyer Bispham. When
he received the letter Saturday he was a
very much surprised young man, and could
hardly believe his eyes as be read the let
ter over and over again.
Phipps is the son of Alexander Phipps,
one of the best known local Liverpool mu-
sicians and professor of music in the Uni
versity Of Liverpool. The family is an
eminently respectable one, of what is known
in England as the middle class. Young
Sydney came to this country in 1885 on a
visit with his mother and some friends.
Shortly after their arrival in this country
Mrs. Phipps received word that her father
was dying and she at once returned to
England. Sydney, however, decided to
stay here and see what the country was
like, as his father had an idea of setting
him up in business here if he liked the
country. His fathers idea was for him to
become farmer. but Sydney had an alto
gether different notion for his own welfare
and went to Chicago. He stayed there a
few weeks, but the lake city did not suit
him and he came to Philadelphia, where
he secured employment as attendant in the
home o: Dr. Stewart, of Broad street, and
later with Lawyer Bispham.
Phipps's intention is TO 60 to England
when he receives word that it is necessary
for him to appear at the Cheltingham Court
| of Chancery, but he says he. has made up
his mind not to stay there, but as soon as
he gets the money to return to this country,
! which he ikes.-Philadelp Times, 9th.
