Havemeyer Paying His Employees While
They Do Not Work

A4a4teAle 9E E4y1nE HIS EnlDLOXGS ~ lille
They Do Not Work
NEW YORK.. Dec. 8. IL Something
dropped IN the Office of the Sugar Trust
today and struck President Haveme ever
with such force as TO open his heart aud
incidentally, the trust Golfers.
The announcement was made guard
edly that s.while the sugar company
closed its refneries and threw 5000
men out Of employment for few days,
it did not stop the wages of the men, but
will pay them just as though they had
been at work"
This was good news to the workmen,
who had been given to understand that
they would lose the time. Instead Of 80
600 men prohting by the generosity Of the
trust, however, less than 5000 profit by
the remission of this hack pay not over
that numb Der having at any time been out
Of employment.
The action Of President Havemeyer in
making good the loss Of time enforced
on the men is attributed to the receipt by
him Of a letter or an intimdtion of some
kind from Senator Smith Of New Jersey
that if he did not do so and keep the en-
ployes of the trust regularly employed
he (the senator) would move in the senate
to pass the free sugar bill

the women of England subscribe and
present her with a sweet soft, lacy, old
lady's bonnet every month, and then
perhaps the terrible black mushroom

here, with her lovely face and exquisite
toilet, the contrast between the queens
was trying even to the most loyal Eng

women IN Public Life.

Herbert Welsh says: The women Of
today are rapidly fitting themselves to
play a much larger part in that domain
of public and political life which is spe-
cially related to moral questions than
was formerly the case. If wisely applied,
the influence of women viii do much
toward bringing the Ten Command
ments to practical application even IN
the realm of politics, where they are
finding out that it IS needed as much as
anywhere, since neither home nor socie-
ty can be kept pure if public life IS pol
luted -

My address to the legislature and the
people of Alabama means just what it
says and it speaks for itself If the leg
islature will heed our demands for a fair

address. it will be satisfactory 10 all our
people and to myself All we ask is
fair and impartial investigation Of the
frauds committed IN the last election,
and if such investigation will show that
Col. Oates received one majority Of the
votes that were cast, | will be satisfied
and will recognize him as governor.
I'VE have ample testimony in the
shape of sworn evidence TO prove that 4

cast in our August election, and we ask
the legislature to give us an opportunity
to prove this fact If the legislature
should refuse this act Of justice by not
passing a contest law. then the response

An optical Illusion.

The apparent rise and fall of tele.
graph lines as you pass them in the
train is an optical illusion caused by the
fact that the weight Of the wires makes
them dip between the supporting posts
to level considerably lower than their
points of support on the posts. No wire
could bear the strain Of being stretched
quite level. Some slack to allow for
this dip Ia absolutely necessary. Hence
the course of the wires Is succession
Of curves, with the convexities down.
ward; and the eye, when rapidly pass
ing them transversely, notes that the
wires rise toward the approaching post
and sink as they leave the receding one.
The illusion is that the wires and not
we appear to be moving. A similar illu-
sion may be noted in looking at field
Of burrows. II these be at right angles
to the railway. In this case, rs by the
laws Of perspective, oil receding parallel
lines converge to a vanishing point; the
burrows appear as the spokes Of huge
wheel rapidly revolving with the van
ishing point as its axle.

TIN that country once known as the
Great American Desert embracing a

many other fruits grow, especially near

Is no perfume; wild flowers have no

which in dry seasons are very plenti-
full, emit no odors. 1t was always sup
posed to he treeless plain, upon which

for the rarity of the atmosphere, caus-
ing the popularity I have named, and
the mirages which are even more per-
feet, than in the desert Of Sahara, no
one would look upon 1t as a barren
country now. Another similar feature
common to the desert land is that OBJ

unless one Of them would withdraw.
A crowd Of gray-headed Democrats
waited upon Mr.. Harris.

a convention or a primary, one man
will be named, and a split in the party

Into the fight went Mr.. Harris He

They would not do it. A meeting was
held. Mr.. Harris took one candidate

Mr.. Harris took the other man,

And lie did 1t. He had majority of
