Representative Hopkins, of Illinois, in
PRODUCED a bill in the house, last week. to
prevent convict labor from competing with
organized labor. The bill provides that all
of the United States shall be employed at
such labor as they may be best fitted to per-
form, and semi-monthly shall be paid the
same rate of compensation as is paid to
organized labor in the locality where the
convict is confined. No convict is to be re-
quired to work more than eight hours day.
The bill carries with it an appropriation OF
$1,000 900, to be expended by the secretary
of the Department of Labor in giving it
effect.

The Unextinguis he'd Love for Mother.
A great deal of SORROW and suffering
might be averted if the confidence of chill
dren continued through life to run to their
parents; if the time never came when there
were words and deeds that they would not
like father or mother to know.
A man still young, but a complete phys
ical wreck through years of dissipation and
wrong doing of every sort, was brought to
Western hospital, MORALLY injured in a
brawl in a saloon.
He was unconscious when they put him
in one of the little white cots. and, when
he finally opened his eyes, his mind wan
dered.
To nurse who sat near him he said, in
cautious, half whispering tone, Don't
tell motherv
No" she said. soothingly; but in a mo-
ment he put out his hand, and said in still
more earnest and pleading tone:
''You won't tell mother, will you? I'd
hate to have her know that I-I-lied"
His mind had evidently gone back to the
beginning of his downfall. He grew more
restless and uneasy, and finally muttered:
mo, no; mother mustn't know about it:
don't tell her that I--stole."
To all who came near him, his one earn
est and fearful cry was, Don't tell mother!
you won't, will you? Don'tv
Once he said: IF mother knew l had
been in states prison two whole years.
You won't any of you tell her, will you?
There's so many things l don't want her to
know"
When morning came, his delirum had
left him. but when the hospital physician
made his visit he saw at glance that the
man was sinking fast and likely to die at
any moment and gently told him, so that
he might have letters and messages sent to
his friends if he cared to do so.
NO" he said. Il amt but one friend
left in the world. and l wouldn't have her
know for the world how and where l died"
Just before his lips closed for the last
time, he whispered to a nurse who bent
over him: Don't tell motheru'-Yo uth's
Companion.

Hon. John G.. Warwick, of Masillep,

Mr.. Woodford is Vice President and Gen

other two gentlemen are interested in the
same road as heavy stockholders. They
came in yesterday afternoon in q carriage
from Mt. Pleasant, and are at the end of q
trip by carriage over the proposed new
road from Bowerston to Wheeling. Mr..
Woodford was seen by REGISTER man
last night. He is good.natured
individual, and did not utter
single cuss word about being
called from his bed at an unseemly hour,
but quietly and patiently submitted to an
interview. Mr.. Woodford said. "Oar pres
enee here means that the Wheeling and
Lake Erie Railway is to be Just what the
name implies,-a road from the Lake TO
Wheeling.
"The Wheeling and Lake Erie has over
two hundred miles of road in operation,
and it has been paying the interest on the
mortgage, and besides giving us fair divi-
dends We have gone into the market
with an extension bond, which gives as
security second mortgage on the old road
and a first mortgage on the new line pro-
posed. We can pay the interest on the
new bond from the earnings of the old
road, and tine bonds were scraped !up and
offers made for four times their amount,
when they were placed on the London
market by Southerwaite & Co. We will
be ready TO receive bids for the construc-
ton in ten days, and we have a dozen con-
tractors waiting for the plans.
I'VE have the money in the bank to pay
for the construction of the road, and will be
sure to come to Martins Ferry. If, when
we get here, there is no bridge, we will
put one up, but hops this bridge will he
