and friend of the people going off with
his daughter on funeral junket at gov

pulled out his note book and wrote down
this sad reflection: ''And the starving
poor are still starving, and the toiling
millions are,still toiling, and there is still
the same reckless disregard, not to say
larceny, of public money"

dustriaI Institute for the purpose of re-
forming women over Is years of age is

nit the board of health to discharge its

ton, which always takes time and as we
did not wish to start out with fight on
our hands, we have accepted the resigna-
ton of Dr. H. A Dykes as secretary, to

This does not mean, as has been sug-
gested, that Dr. Dykes is to hold on after
that time, but we have his resignation
on our records in black and
white and it has been accepted and
he will retire atthat time In the mean
time we will select some competent ply
stefan for secretary, and the selection OF
q secretary will be made without any re-
ference to political preference We felt
that we needed time to carefully consider
the selection of a secretary. and that was
one of the reasons DR.. Dykes resignation,
to take effect April l, was accepted.

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Illinois Eight Hour or Sweat Shop
Law imperative.

Chicago, March 15.-The supreme
court of Illinois gave a decision at
Mount Vernon yesterday declaring
that the eight hour law, or, as it is gem
orally known, the sweat shop law is
unconstitutional. The law prohibited
the employment of women for more
than eight hours a day OF more than AS
hours week in any factory within the
borders of Illinois. In deciding the
case the judges also pronounced illegal
section 10 of the bill which provided
an annual appropriation of $50, 900 for
factory inspectors whose chief duty was
to see that the eight-hour clause was
enforced. While the law related eXclus-
lively to the employment of women it
was understood at the time of its pas
sage that similar measure regulating
the number of hours men could be
hired to work would follow on its heels.
Probably 10000 women in Illinois W ho
work in factories are affected by the de
cision, 900 of whom live in Chicago.
They are employed in tile main in shoe
factories, cloak and clothing houses,
candy factories, paper box shops aud
various other manufacturing establish
ments.

disastrous fires in the history of the
city and the state. w. l.. Millington,

000 and 400 men thrown out of work.
The fire started about AIS O'Clock
this morning in the shaving sheds of
j. Il. Booths extensive lumber sheds,
and when the firemen arrived at 4 p it
had gained considerable headwaY, as
a strong wind was blowing and there
was much infiammable material in the
building. In three hours the flames,
driven by high wind from the north,
burned the great manufacturing indus
tries known as the Pioneer shops,
which included the mills and sh 5Iis of
j. R. Booth, the Baldwin Refrigerator
company and the Vermont Shade Roll
er company. The fire was stopped at
Bank street, everything except Booths
office having been consumed for space
OF 300 by 750 feet. Several freight ears

burned.
Mr.. Millington was burned in the
shade rollor company's building. There
were several men in the building en-
deavOring to save some of the COM
pany's property, and among them was
Mr.. Millington. When the flames
burst into the building all Of the men
escaped except Mr.. Millington; and all
efforts to save him were in vain. His
body was found at about $50 O'Clock
and was in terrible condition. Mr..
Millington was born in Newport, r. L.,
in 1881, and leaves a widow and one
daughter. He formerly ran box fac
tory in Sharf7s addition, which was
