The Illinois legislature appropriate,
81 100000 for the Worlds Fair.


New Haven, Conn, is celebrated for hav
ing given the name of "Punkin HeadD Il
all New Englanders. IL originated from
the Blue laws, which enjoined every male
TO have his hair cut round by cap. When
caps were not to be had they substituted
the hard shell of a "punkin," which, being
put on the head every Saturday, all hair
which protruded was clipped close to the
sheifs edge. Peters, in his History OF
Connecticut" says
"nat religious virtue was supposed to
be derived from the custom. I knox not
but there is much prudence In It. First IL
prevents the hair from snarlinR. second
IT saves the use of combs; third. Il can,
NOT incommode the eyes by falling over
them, and fourth, such persons that
nave lost their ears for heresy and other
"lckenness cannot conceal their misfort
une and dtsgrace.-St. Louis Republic.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHTAS

On May 10th, Goth and p Fairhaver
will be the meeting place of hundreds
OF members Of the strongest secret or
ganization in the state. Men promi
nent in the politics, commerce, litera
ture and society of the growing state
OF Washington, earnest Jealous, con.
scientious men will meet here to re.
new and strengthen the ties of frater-
nal fellowship and to lay down the
work to be accomplished during the
coming year by the lodges of Knights
of Pythias Of the Jurisdiction of
Washington.
Aside from the routine work of the
sessions of the Grand lodge, there will
be much to be accomplished in the en-
tertainment of the representatives
and of the hundreds of visiting
knights, who, not being eligible to ad-
mission at the regular councils of that
body, will have ample time to test the
resources, in the way of entertain
ment, of the residents Of the Focal
City. Many divisions of the Uniform
Rank will be present to take part IN
the competition drill. Some of these
divisions will come in their own spe-
cial car and attended by their own
band Of music. Not a city or town i'm
the state will lack representation, and
during the three days Of the session
thousands of visitors will come and 90.
The program contemplated by the ex-
ecutiye committee embraces a grand
ball, to be given in pavilion erected
Tor the purpose, street parade in
which all civic organizations Of the
Bay and the militia will be invited TO
take part, match game of baseball
between two clubs of the Puget Sound
amateur league, and an excursion to
Lake Whatcom or the islands.
The exhibition drill will be open to
all visiting divisions of the Uniform
Rank and all over the state the boys
are drilling hard in the hope of win
ming the prizes offered, 500 and $75
in gold.
1t is proyerbial that the citizens Of
Bellingham bay do nothing by halves,
and there is no doubt that the COM
mittee in charge Of arrangements will
find their efforts ably seconded. Not
the least important task is the raising
Of funds with which TO meet necessary
expenses. So far our people have
readily responded. 1t is the intention
Of the subscription committee to call
IN all Of our business men and if each
)ne interests himself to reasonable {
extent there is no doubt that the ses-
zion of 1891 Of the Grand Lodge of
Knights of Pythias will be the most
successful one ever held.
The visiting members will not be
he guests of the local lodges but of
he citizens of the bay. Let us unite
n extending to them a cordial and
hiyalric welcome.

NORTHERN PACIFIC

The Northern Pacific railroad, has
already completed its surveys and the
work OF construction has already
begun and the road will be in opera

Blue Canyon City will be the Lake
Whatcom terminus.
The tramway from the mine to the
town is already completed, and large
quantities of coal are now being ship

THE MAY STRIKE

Formidable preparations had been
made, and it was generally given out
that coal miners all over the country
were to have struck on the first day of
the present month, for a work day of
eight hours. That strike has not
materialized yet, and it is not proba-
Bile that it will. The premature
notice Of the proposed strike placed
the railroad companies and all other
organizations that use immense GUAM
Titles Of coal, on their guard, and in
the time Of peace they preprred for
war, and thus the expected did not
happen. The railroad companies
stored up such quantities of coal that
they have enough to run them for
months, and the dealers also prepared
for an emergency, and now it would
be TO their advantage for the miners
TO go on a strike, because that would
give them an excuse for increased
prices on coal. These coal miners
have continually permitted them
selves to be made tools of in this line
for years past. They 20 on the strike
in the spring months after the coal
operators have accumulated large
amounts of coal, and exactly when
the coal spectators want them to
strike.
The eight hours work day is to be
desired. The human race would be
generally benefited by its establish
ment, but we fail to see how it can be
made permanent without the enact
ment of laws for that purpose. The
reliance of the Federation of Trades
in carrying out their reforms appears
to be in their strike, while the Knights
of Labor, having had long experience
with strikes, are abandoning them and
placing their reliance more and more
in the efficacy Of the ballot and the es-
tablishment of laws.
In the matter of strike for the
eight hour day, the miners are at all
times the least preferred, especially
during the warmer months of the
year. One thing unfavorable to them
is that they work by the ton Of coal, |
and they can gain nothing unless they
get an increase per ton for their work
We are just entering the summer sea-
son when very much less coal is used. |
and therefore it is a bad time TO OBJ
tain an increase for mining coal. Al
most universally coal sells for less in
than 1t does in winter. and II
an increase should be made IL appears
that 1t could be more readily obtained
in the fall. In case of a strike the
places of the strikers could be more
readily filled during the summer than
n the winter months IL is probably
rue, however, that those who 20 out
N the strike can more readily obtain
at other work in the sum-
ner months.
There appears to be something i'm
PRACTICAL about enforcing the eight
our day by strike. The probabili-
les are that IL such a day was thus G
established the laborers would be the 4
rst to violate 1t, for some of them a
ould soon want TO work two eight v

If the one-term policy for all execu-

What the people of this country
want is plenty of money, and the
Wall street and European money
tiends cannot produce a depression in
the general business of the country at
time when the country is naturally
prosperous with big crops and the
development of mines and all the
other resources of the nation. For
this, the West wants free coinage and
the issue of millions of greenbacks
monthly.

Heart FAILURE. sudden Death.

The prayer Of the christian pleads for

alas, how many leave the world for better

warning He died of heart failure. The
tired and weary heart failed while engaged
in its momentous task of pumping the blood
from the arteries and forcing it into every
big and little vein that the wasting tissues
of the flesh might be replenished. How i'm
portant then that the great stream of life be
kept pure and its corpuscles red and active,
lest the fluid grows clogged and sluggish,
and the heart in an extraordinary effort
snaps without signal the thread of its
muscular strength. 1t is your duty as one
who loves the life that God has given him,
