Great Rock Island Route
TO THE EAST.

Best Dining Car Service in the World.
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
70 improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
is thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains. magnificent dining
cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all
che most elegant, and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
pleyes are important items. They
are double duty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
n task difficult of accomplishment
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood subur-
ban station, close to Worlds Fair
grounds, and you can save time and
srouble by getting off at that point
and avoid the crowd in the city.

often occur IN the Gulf of California, drove

Farnsworth and his companions evidently

THE PLANET SATURN.
Some Facts Which VIII Interest Anna
teur Astronomers.

ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
The planet Saturn is now becoming a
point of interest to star-gazers. Rising about
sunset in early April, ut a point slightly
south OF east, it takes its upward course
and comes to the meridian shortly before
midnight.
Saturn may be distinguished by its steady
yellowish light, shining as star OF the first
magnitude. and in color somewhat resem-
bling the star Arcturus, though not SO
bright
With good spyglass. magnifying about
thlrty-hve times. Saturn's rings may be
made out, but with such low power it is
lmposslble to separate them. The observer
should also be able on clear night to dis
Germ It's largest satellite. Titan. The other
seven are too faint TO be seen except with a
telescope Of high power.
curious fact about Saturn's rings is,
notwithstanding their great breadth, they
are not supposed to exceed 100 miles in
thickness, and as they lie in the plane OF
the planets equator, there are times when
only the thin edge Is turned toward the
earth, and the rings are rendered invisible,
except to the most powerful telescopes.
There are. however. other causes for the
DISAPPEARANCE of Saturn's rings, namely.
when the sun illuminates but one surface OF
them. and that being the surface turned
away from the earth; and, when the plane
OF the rings passes through the sun. and the
extreme thin edge only is illuminated.
These are the three causes for the rings
disappearance, which takes place at inter-
walls Of about fifteen years.
Saturn has also series of belts extending
around 1t parallel to its equator. in this
respect resembling Jupiter, although the
markings in this case are less distinct than
in the case OF Jupiter.

LIMA, April 9.-The wounding OF the Con-

Minister Hicks reported TO the Washington
Government, occurred at Mo!lendo, Peru.
March %. The trouble grew ont of tie
anu-Masonic demonstrations which have
largely been made in Peru under the direc-
tion OF the Bishop Of Areuuipa.
Masonic rites we're being observed at
iodgeroom in Mnllendo on the evening of
March % and portion of the musical pro-
gramme was performed by the Esiudian-
tina America Company. which was on its
way to the Chicago Exposition. During the
ceremonies the mob attacked the building.
Many stones were thrown and those who
were participating in the rites were driven
from the lodgrrOoms.
Having driven out the Masons the mob
sacked the iodgeroom and burned the
building. the furniture in the room, and the
instruments belonging TO the Estudianl lin a
America Company were removed TO the
street, piled in heap and then burned A
few shots were fired during the melee, one
of which wounded the American Consular
Agent, Emilio de Cazoria. In the leg.
The riots we're caused by the action of
the Masons in ignoring an edict against
their ceremonies which had been issued bv

PAY FOR DOING NOTHING.
Ingenuity Displayed by Clerks in the
Departments at Washington.


A great many young men secure places
in the departments merely for tile purpose
of supporting themselves while they are
studying in the great schools of law and
medicine here. Mattefs are so arranged at
these Institutions that clerk who stops
work at p. NJ. can get dinner and be on
hand for the evening lectures, which
begin at G. The house has voted TO
reduce the annual vacation of the
clerks from thirty to fifteen DAYS.
in addition to which they are allowed
thirty days sick leave in each year. When
ever there is a legal holiday there is usually
half-holiday on the day previous. The
clerk takes the working part of that half
DAY off. This gives him two days clear. But,
on the day before the half-holiday he goes

sion to leave a 2;30 p. NJ. so as to eaten a

panded into two days and Il half. The in

aged is said to be wonderful. However, it
should be explained that two-thirds of the
employees rarely take q day of the sick leave
allowed Them. Ii clerk Is absent on ac-
count oil illness over sixty days in any wear
he or she must pay a substitute. The Civil
Service Commission provides all the substi-
tutes that are wanted. 1t is provided that
the clerks shall give TO the substitute a GER
tain proportion of the pay, usually amount
ing 10 about 5 per cent. By thus hiring a
substitute clerk might retain his place in
the service of the Government for years
though himself blind, paralyzed and con-
fined to his bed. In all cases of sickness q
physicians certificate IS required. Not long
ago the Treasury Department made rule
TO the effect that such certificate must al
ways state the nature of the complaint. But
the local medical society resolved in formal
council that such thing was out of the
question, and so the regulation fell to the
ground.
One gets a vivid notion of the magnitude
of the departments from the vast quantities
of ice which are required to quench the
thirst OF the 23.o00 clerks. The treasury
consumes a ton and half of ice daily, TAX
ing an average the year around. An equal
quantity is used in the war. state aud navy
buildings. But the Department of the Iu-
terror is the great devourer Of ice. Including
the Pension Office it gobbles up from five 10
six tons every twenty-four hours. The
quantities utilized are variable. Each de-
partment makes its own contract for ice,
bids being advertised for annually No
definite amount 10 be provided is agreed on.
The contractor gets so much for supplying
all the frozen water required, whatever it
may be. All the departments, together
with their branches, consume q GOO pounds
every day. ANY secretary can by Il simple
order increase the working hours of the
clerks in his department 10 any extent
which he thinks desirable.

PITTsBURG, April 9.-It has just been

bined interests of the Carnegie nrgauiza-
tions. The financial backing will come
from various parts OF this country and
Europe, and the capital stock will be $780,
000,0 600. David Reese, one of tile interested
artles, would not deny that the facts, as
stated, are substantially correct.
The most important feature of the whole
business probably is the fact that James
Harvey. the inventor Gf the nickel steel and
Harveyized steel from which armor plate is
made. Is the protector Of the syndicate.
The Carnegies have used his patent. paying
him royalty. Harvey was dissatisfied
with the arrangement, desiring to enter the

"Zhere's something behind IT,"
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the propricfors
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, YOU
think, to find the makers of a medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must he some
thing back of It'll"
But it's plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. 1t cures
Catarrh in the Head. To its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has a record that
goes back for 25 years 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cares. With Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
fits so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer? ?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DIR. sage's Remedy.
