Bill to Be Presented to Congress by the
American Federation Of Labor.
The American Federation of Labor
has made public the text of the bill to
restrict the jurisdiction of courts Of the
United States in proceedings Of con-
tempt which it will present to congress.
Tho bill is the outgrowth Of what or
ganized labor calls the persecution" Of
Eugene v. Debs and the other labor
leaders who were engaged in the great
railroad strike last year. The bill is:
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States Of America, in congress assem-
bled, That the courts of the United
States, sitting as courts of equity, shall
not have Jurisdiction to punish for con-
tempt any person charged with the vio-
lation of any order or decree Of courts
whose acts in the premises constitute,
arise out Of, or are connected with the
commission of any offense indictable
under the law of the United States or
of the state in which the offensive act
is committed. but in every such case the
offense against the court shall be deemed
merged in the greater offense against
the state or the United States, as the
case may be.

distressed seamen. Governor de Rod,
Captain Carter says, has for years be-
friended from 80 to Sb shipwrecked
American seamen a season, and has new
er received the slightest recognition
from the government of the United
States. On Oct. 10 a Chilean man-of
war put in from Valparaiso to inquire
after Captain Carter and the men. The
commander brought tale of suffering
from Second Mate Crocker's boatload
of sailors more thrilling than that OF
the others. Mate Crocker had become
scared during the first blow after leav-
ing the Parthia, and had steered due
east for the Chilean coast. The water
in the cask got low, and his men were
put ON short allowance. There was
plenty of salt pork, but they could not
eat it without drink. On the sixth day
out David Jones, Welsh seaman, who
could not speak English, thinking mo-
body was looking, stole long drink
out Of the cask. He forgot to put back
the plug, and all the water ran out of
the cask. Next day the nine men had
not drop of water to drink.
The lad confessed, and the sailors
were for cutting his throat and throw
ing him overheard, but Mate Crocker
told them Jones should stay in the boat
as long as he did.
For seven days the boat went with
ont water, and the sufferings Of the
men were frightful Again and again
they attempted to take up the salt wa
ter, but Mate Crocker restrained them.
On the sixth day after the water was
exhausted Jones leaned over the side
and took long, deep draft Of sea
water. BE fell into the bottom Of the
boat in terrible paroxysm and died
after ave hours of suffering. They
threw him overheard then, fate having
worked the punishment they had in
mind to infiict.
That same day, go miles from VAL
paraiso, the boat encountered the steel
hull of the burned coal ship Garfield.
They recognized her, for the Garfield
had loaded with coal for Valparaiso at
the next pier in Liverpool and had
sailed at the same time.
1t was coincidence Of fate. The Gar.
field had been deserted for the same
reason as the Parthia on Oct. 9.
Mate Crocker boarded the hull in
search of water, but the butts had burn

without the Fatal CIT Of Beauty.

A curious confession was overheard
in Market street car recently. Two
young men were engaged in friendly
conversation, when one said:
"Well, old man, you have seen my
wife. Now tell me what you think Of
her.
"She seems to be most lovable wo-
man. should say her disposition is an.
gelic, and she is the personification Of
the good, hard, common sense that isre
quired to make home happy"
But don't you think she is beau
tyr"
"Well-er-you know the evident
embarrassment of the truthful friend
was painful to everybody in the car.
He did not want to lie; neither did he
wish to give offense by telling the truth.
''That is hard question to answer.
You know ideas of feminine beauty diff
fer greatly. A woman who is absolutely
repulsive to one man is the acme Of fem
inine beauty in the eyes of another "
"Ha, hal / knew couldn't be mis-
taken," laughed the young husband,
and his friend flushed painfully.
"That's all right, old man. made up
my mind to marry the homeliest girl
could find, and I wanted to get your

no mistake. You know how many of

BROKE THE TOBACCO TRUST
Tobacco Manufacturers Losing

Great Excitement In 81. Louis--No Pos-

ST.. LOUIS. Feb. S--(Speoial. )-Colonel
William Kirohotf, General Western Man
ager of the American Tobacco Company,
has been user OF tobacco all his life, and
for years has smoked as many ~ twenty
cigars daily. After using few boxes Of
No-To- Bac, the desire for tocacco Is com-
pletely gone, and he is wonderfully I'M
proved In health. His cure Is attracting .
great deal OF attention and comment and
many prominent st. Louis business men
are following his example. People are Just
waking up to the fact that the continued
use Of tobacco is very injurious.
An interview with Mr., II. l.. Kramer,
the originator Of No-To- Bas, develops the
fact that within three years II has reached
an enormous sale, almost entirely upon
merit alone. Over one-million boxes Of
No-To-Bao have been sold, and 300, 900 to-
bacco users cured. At the present rate No
To-Bao will cure in '90 from 2000O0 to
800, 500, and as Mr.. Kramer says, 'it 10 al
ways the worst cases that want cure; /;
those who have ohewed and smoked from
boyhood-some OF them thirty, forty and
fifty years, and we even have records OF
cures after sixty years Of tobacco using.
So, you can see that, if they are spending
amount), the cure of200,0OO tobacco users
in '96 would result in the loss OF the sale OF
tobacco amounting TO over xi0,0O,OU
which will be saved TO the cured
No-To Bac is truly medical wonder, for
1t not only destroys the desire for tobacco,
but invigorates the nervous system and
marvelously increases weight and strength.
Like all great successes, No-To-bao has
many limitations and substitutes, and the
public should be warned against them.
No-To Bac Is the original tobacco habit
cure, and is sold under an absolute guar
antee to cure the tobacco habit by your
own druggist.

Nothing could be fairer, more phi an-

the offer of L. A. Slocum, M. c., OF 1873

dent that he has an absolute remedy for

ceive in return the two bottles free, which

| ing so proof positive OF its benehcent re-

Of dissolution, bringing joy to homes over
which the shadow OF the grave has been

The invitation is certainly worthy of the

CANADIAN KNIGHTS sEcEDE.

Considerable excitement was caused
in labor circles by report from Mont

decided to secede from the general as

bee knights was unexpected, the com
plants against the general assembly
having all come from Ontario labor
men.
It is now foregone conclusion that
the Ontario Knights will also secede
from the general assembly, in which
event they will join Quebec and form a
Canadian order. Already several nomi-
nees have been suggested for the offices
which such action will leave open, D.
A. Carey being mentioned as being like
