Child Labor Bill.

The child labor bill passed the House at
Lansing, Tuesday. OF 1t the State Repub-
| lican says:
1.-THE most important measure passed by
the house yesterday afternoon was the
Brundage factory inspection bill over which
there has been so much contention and
which has travelled and retraveled the cor
ridOr between the senate and the house
with amendments attached and detached.
The point which has been at issue so long
was the matter of the employment of chill
dren In factories and at what age they
should be employed. The bill passed pro-
vides that 40 child under the age of Ia
years shall be employed in any manufacture
ing establishment in the state. 1t cOmpels
all employers of children under 16 years of
age to keep register of them giving their
birthplace, age and place of residence, and
it shall be unlawful for any manufacturer
to hire any child under 16 without state
ment in writing from the child's parent or
guardian. If the child has no parent or
guardian, such statement must be made by |
the child. A further brake is put on by de-
handing that no child under 10 shall be
employed where life or limb is endangered |
or its health is likely to be injured or morals |
depraved, and no male under Is or female |
cry while in motion. Factory inspectors |
shall have power to demand a certificate of |
physical fitness of the work to which en- I
plOyes are put. in order to guard against
accidents every elevator used in manu-
institution, automatic guards or
gates must be attached to them. Fire
escapes must also be provided; stairways
must be rallied, and where ladies are en-
ployed the sides and bottoms must be
screened. The bill even makes provision
for the meal hours. Not less than forty-five
minutes shall be allowed for MONDAY meal.
Ii shorter time is desired permits may be
given by the factory inspector. The can

hard contested victory, and this class of
factories are not included in the act but all
others are. The appropriation for the cost

HONEST EXAMINATIONS.
Two Remarkable Cases Recalled by
the MiiIedgeviIIe Episode.

Maitland, Fla. June 1.-THE recent
thrilling scene at the Girls Industrial
College at Milledgevine, Ca, recalls Wv
idly to my mind less sensational. but
more remarkable case, that occurred in
an Alabama female college some years
ago.
The chapel was crowded with the ma
rents and friends of the pupils to witness
the closing examinations of the year. Two
young ladies were on the stage being ex-
amined by the president in their French
studies. Suddenly a distinguished Judge.
VINO also bore the title of general, arose
in the audience and remarked:
Prof. -, my daughter is promptinp
herself from a book at her side, which is
unfair to her classmate
,1he young miss, shocked by her fathers
prompt and bold exposure, burst into tears
ana was completely overcome by her feel
ings, while the audience was thrilled and
shocked at the exposure. The majority
condemned the fathers action as cruel in
the extreme, while others commended his
prompt and honorable exposure of his
daughters effort to cheat in her examine
ton. Now this was no ordinary case

Justice, and as a judicial officer whose
daily life was to see justice properly ad-
ministered, he did not hesitate to proront-

classmate.
Happily. the exposure worked no injury
to the repentant girl. whose friends felt
that her swift exposure was sufficient nm

cellence much higher in that female col
lege and no future attempts were made

SANFORD sITTINGs.
Uneasiness In Railroad Circles over
the Numerous Changes.


Sanford, Fla. June 1s.-There is a good
deal of uneasiness in railroad circles here
just now, growing out of the scoop
OF the Georgia Southern and Florida rail-
road by the Southern system, as it was
firmly believed that the Plant system was
sure TO get it when sold. Then the ru-
NOR that the Clydes are after the Jack
sonyille, Tampa and Key West railway
adds to the uneasiness. The friends of
President Plant feel confident, however,
that he will yet secure this road.
Under the present state of affairs two
sets of conductors arrive and depart with
the trains from Tampa to Jacksonville,
or vice versa, and each has full COM
plement of assistants. from engineer TO
porter, all of whom have temporary or
permanent homes in this city. The sale
of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
railway to the Clydes would keep this
state OF things intact, but should the
Plant system get il the trains would run
through from Jacksonville TO Tampa.
This would reduce the present force about
one-half and break UP several homes in
Sanford, as the families of the conductors,
pa or Jacksonville.
Already under the new Plant system ar
rangement many changes have been made
in local officials and others are anticipa-
ted Capt. L. C. Elkins, Georgian, one
of the oldest conductors, has gone into
the clothing business at Tampa, while
Capt Scarlet, another Georgian and
late depot master, has started dairy farm
near Tampa. Passenger Agent r. I.
Patton is one of the last to be dropped off,
but rumor says others are "on the list"
for decapitation. Supt Ford has rented
the Patton cottage, and Mrs. Patton, who
is Gen. Alfred VERSIONS daughter, has
gone to Sewanee, Tenn, for the summer.
Capt. Elkins had just completed a hand
some two-story residence when he drop

Many old railroaders who are out of a
job on account of the rectn purchases,
have a sharp eye on the proposed new
electric railways here, 1t is a singular
fact that the president of Henck's line to
Orlando and Henck himself, were promo
tiers OF the original South Florida railroad.
and one of their old associates is now in
the scheme TO build an electric railway
from Jacksonville to Tampa Bay. Col.
Appleyard leaves here in a few days for
Cincinnati to meet his associates and ar
range to begin work at once. This com
psny has plenty OF capital and energy, and

IGNORANCE CALLED DOWN.
Much Nonsense Disseminated About
the Pear blight.


the Pear blight.
Townsville. Ca, June 13.-Editor Morn
ing News: In your paper of Wednesday
there was brief cor lmunication from Nc
lntosh, Ca on the subject Of pear blight.
l have seen large number of short arti-
Giles from Mcintosh nd Liberty county on
this subject, allof Which convince me that
the ignorance which hovers over that par
ticular pear region. in regard to the mat
ter of pear blight. must be fifty or one
hundred feet deep. All the childish theo-.
ries about insects and bugs and cold
weather, and this. that and the other as
being the cause of pear blight, have long
since been absolut ely exploded The COY
eminent of the United States has had this
matter under special Investigation in the
department of vegetable pathology, which
is a branch of the agricultural DEPART
ment for the last -four or five years. NJ
b. Waite has made at least three visits
TO the pear region, and has examined fully
into the subject c pear blight, and has
demonstrated exaC fly what II is Ii is a
disease peculiar to the pear, and is alto
gether vegetable, and in no sense con-
nected with any other life than vegetable
life. If any of the citizens Of Eastern
Georgia, who have pear blight, will take
a blighted pear or blighted limb. and. In
case of the limb, win scrane off the outer
bark and take a common pocket knife
or even a nin. and stick il into the dis
eased inner bark of the blighted limb and
then insert the pin. not over a quarter Of
an inch, into a sou I'D pear, that pear will
become blighted within three days, and
within less than a week will fall from the
tree. If he Will cut off the outer peeling
of the pear. and make a similar insertion
OF a knife blade or pin point, he may trans
init In the same way the blight from a dis
eased pear to healthy pear, or from a
diseased pear to healthy limb, provided
1t is young and tender.
There IS no excuse for such profound
ignorance when knowledge is SO easily ac-
cessihle. Let any one who wants to in
form himself on this subject simply write
to Hon. ]. Sterling Morton, Secretary of
Agriculture, Washington, d. c. for full
information on the subject of pear blight
and he will get it without cost. BY doing
this those who are interested in pear chi
ture will save themselves a great deal of
time and some expense, because all your
sulphur remedies, insect theories and cold
weather theories amount to absolutely
nothing. Pear Grower .

A BIT OF ANCIENT history.
Recalled by the Sensational Per-
fOrmnnce of wise and Boardman.

Recalled by the Sensational Per-
formnnce of Wise and Boardman.
Washington, June lS.-John S. Wise's
sensational encounter with Lawyer Board
man in a New York court room the other
day calls to mind a sensational perform
ance said to have occurred in the white
house during the Harrison administra-
ton. On that occasion Wise is said to
have charged Gen. Clarkson, then first
assistant postmaster general, with hav-
ing made false statement relative to the
postmastership at Richmond. Va, and
then shook his finger under the nose OF
Gen Clarkson, in the presence of Pres,-
dent Harrison. IL Is said that II was that
circumstance which weakened President
harrisons friendship for Gen. ClarksoY.
and soon afterWard led to the retirement
OF Gen. Clarkson from the postofIice de-
partment
AT that period johnny Wise was sup
posed 70 have considerable influence in
Virginia politics. and he was struggling
TO have one of his personal friends ap-
pointed postmaster at Richmond. 1t Is
claimed that Gen Clarkson, after consid-
cradle negotiation with Mr.. Wise, finally
wrote q letter in which he stated that the
President had turned the whole matter
over to him and promised that Wise's man
should receive the appointment. To the
surprise and modification of Wise and his
friends, another man was appointed Wise
went Immediately to the white house and
inquired of President Harrison what he
meant by such a proceeding, after prac-
tieally AUTHORIZING Gen. Clarkson to ap-
point his friend. This proposition was dis
puted by President Harrison and the ques-
ton of veracity between the parties inter-
ested arose. Wise insisted that he hadNt
in black and white" from Clarkson that
! his friend would be appointed The Presi-
dent suggested that he would send for Gen.
Clarkson and the latter was imme-
diately summoned to the executive man
sion. Upon his arrival he was confronted
with Mr. Wise and also the latter's state
ment concerning the Richmond office 1t
is said that he denied the assertions made
by MIR. Wise and even denied having
written the letter, which Mr.. Wise stated
was in existence, In the most dramatic
manner conceivable, Mr.. Wise drew from
| his pocket the letter which Gen. Clark
son had written, and to the humiliation
of Gen. GARRISON read its contents with
AS climax to the proceedings, snapped
| his fingers under Gen. Clarkson's nose
right before the President, and hurriedly
left the white house 1t is understood
he never visited there again during the
Harrison ADMINISTRATION. Soon afterward
Gen. Clarkson resigned the Office of first
assistant postmaster general 1t is claimed
that Harrison never had much use for
Clarkson afterward, and the feeling of
hostility was reciprocal on Clarkson's
part.
