Two years ago, when the boom was on at
Los Angeles, CAL, man had to have cash
in hand and good deal of it, to buy q

The "Noon Rest is the title of an insti-
tuition devised for the benefit of the bust
ness women and girls of Indianapolis by
the Young Women's Christian Temperance
Union. 1t is sort of woman's club, the
rooms of which are open each day from 10
a. IN. to 8 p. m, where all young women
who work in stores and shops are invited
to spend their noon hours. Tables are pro-
vided for lunches, and milk, tea, coffee
and chocolate are served for cents per
cup.
The labor leaders and professional agita-
tors in Europe are finding it impossible to
get workingmen to give approval to the
eight-hour movement. The English trades
unions have voted against the change; and
in France, though the legal working day
is now twelve hours, seven2eighths of the
Partisan working people oppose the sug-
gested reduction. Their views seem to be
| summed up in the remark of one of them
that "more leisure is good thing in the

| less food and higher rents it is bad" Just
SO.
1t is said that the process of colorine

The First Baptist church, situated at the
corner of Third avenue and Sixteenth

shameful and sacrilegiOus disturbance
during the services Sunday evening. The
pastor, the Rev. a NJ. Prentice. was in
the pulpit preaching his Sunday evening
discourse, when suddenly a noise WAS
heard in the vicinity of his large chair,
Immediately behind the paipit. Then,
with lump, a skeleton appeared, with
dangling arms and legs, directly over the
chair, having come from below instead
of above, as would be imagined of one ap-
pearing in a house of worship. The con-
gregation Were dunfounded, some scream

Prentice continued his discourse without
further interruption.
Investigation showed the skeleton to be

HOUSE AND LOBBY.

They say that Noble Mccarthy
will have to be naturalized as q citi-
zen of Maui, since he sits and votes
with the nobility of that island.
There would be less confusion
over divisions if members voted on
the first call, and if those absent
when the question was put were not
allowed to vote.
The woods will be full of Police
Justices when all the bills making
new ones become law. Their juris-
diction in civil cases being incrcas-
ed as we'll as their numbers, how
ever, makes less reason than ever
for increasing the number of SUI
preme Court Judges.
Rep. Bush's bill to recreate Gov
ernors provides for their election in
stead Of royal appointment as OF
old. The representative for Koolau-
poke on the strength of this will

no NATIVE SAILORS.

The adulteration of the American
people by the simultaneous increase
in foreign immigration and the i'm
proved opportunities of bread-win-
ming offered to graduates of Ameri-
can free schools was curiously illus
trated by a recent incident at Mare
Island. Orders were recently re-
ceived from the Navy Department
forbidding the recruiting officer from
shipping on men-of-war sailors who
were not natives, or at least foreign
ers who had declared their inten-
ton to become naturallzed. The
consequence was that very few men
are being shipped, and the Mare
Island authorities are puzzled where
they can get crews for the Marion
and the Adams.
The explanation is, of course,
that young Americans can do better
than ship before the mast. They
can earn more money and lead
pleasanter lives ashore. If they
wish to 90 to sea, they go as officers
not ordinary or able seamen. 1t Is
not easy to devise cure for Tho
evil. The nation cannot well at
ford to pay fancy wages for sailors
and yet, unless it does, it must con
time to man its ships with jack-tar

work. These items were for pcrma
nent improvements and reproductive
public works, for which il was not
allowable to draw from the general
revenue. The change would require
an alteration OF the Governments
system of bookkeeping.
Noble Widemann said that was
Just the change he wanted. The
Reform Government had dCformed
the Appropriation Bill. lie believ-
ed they had changed FROM one see
ton TO another Just as suited them.
1t was to relieve the Ministry from
this unlimited discretion that he
made his motion.
Noble Mccarthy produced lists Of
bills paid by the late Government
after March 3lst, which should have
been paid before that date. They
were not paid in the proper time
because the Government found it
convenient under the wording of the
bill TO make the expenses charge
on the next period. Thus the pre-
sent Ministry were saddled with
bills incurred by their predecessors
and with which they had nothing
to do.
Noble Walhridge asked for further
explanation from the Minister of III
nance.
Minister Brown said he had moth
ing TO alter. lie could not under
stand the hon. Noble. If he wanted
TO make alterations he could move
them at the proper time.
Noble Widcmann denounced the
wording of Sec. 6.
Minister Brown said there was no
use in borrowing trouble. If there
was anything wrong with it, when il
came up amendments could he con-
sidered.
Noble Iscnberg wanted Noble Wi.

ing.
Noble Baldwin was in the House
when this new form was adopted.
Previously when appropriations ram
out | o US were given for salaries,
and it was deemed better to legalize
the payment Of salaries until a new
bill was passed. The classification
prevented such evils. The Privy
Council had stretched its power UNI
der the Constitution in voting money
out of the treasury when appropria
tiOns were exhausted.
Noble Mccarthy read some of tn,
items previously cited by him. anc
gave the opinion that the late Minis

The Union League.

We quite agree with the letter of Sena-
tor Bowers printed in Saturdays Sun.
If the Union League was general party
organization, no fault could be found
with it; but it is ''lodge of the elect"
that has got together to control the party
machinery and name the county ticket
If it shall succeed, the will of the .peo-
ple's representatives will not have been
expressed, and jealousy and pickering
must result. If, on the other hand, 1t
should try and then not succeed
there would still be discord. 1t is true
that many men who have no bossing as
pirations are members of the organlza'
ton. But it is also true that this is the
usual strategy of political leaders who
desire to conceal their own movements
The 'solid citizsn' is always used as q
stalking horse to office when he will con-
sent to serve.
The Sun, as paper which hopes tc
find itself able to support the Republican
county ticket next summer, regrets tina
these league measures should hava beer
taken. The Republican rank and fill
are intelligent enough to run their owl
affairs, and they ought to have th
chance. Ring management cost the Re
publican ticket something in this city las
spring, and it's effect upon the count.
would be about the same. Why can
there be fair deal and harmony ?-[ Sal

LONDON, February 6.-An explosion
occurred today in colliery at Abersy-
chan, Monmouthshire. Three hundred
miners were imprisoned for several
hours. An opening was finally effected,
aud at noon 25O had been rescued. A
number of those taken out are severely
injured. Rescuing parties are still
searching for those remaining in the
mine.
Tt is feared that it will be impossible to
rescue the miners who are still impris-
oned.
Forty bodies have been taken from the
mine. Fifty miners are still imprisoned.
1t is not known whether they are dead
or alive.
The owners estimate thai 12O persons
lost their lives by the explosion.
Tbs cause of the explosion was the
a -oding OF pits adjacent to that in which
Tho oxr,os '"n occurred, thus forcing the

explosion had tremendous force, oelng

rescuers organized endoavo1-.ou 20 pene-
trate the pit through the old workings.
They got far enough to be able to see
groups of dead. but they could not reach
them, and were compelled to retreat by
the suffocating volumes of smoke. Upon
the first appearance of diminution in
the volume of smoke rescuers went down
the main shaft. They rescued large
number of miners yet alive. but all badly
burned, and they brought out sixty dead
bodies, nearly all 80 mutilated that recog-
milton of their identity 10 impossible.
The latest estimate of the dead ia $50.
