ASKS EMPLOYEES TO ACT.
Railway Age Introduces New Method
of Relief from Legislation.

hallway Age Introduces n New Method
of Relief from Legislation.
That the employees of the railways
suffer most and most directly by any
diminution in railway revenues is a
fact which the employees themselves
III the mass have been very slow to
understand. but II seems as II they
were awakening to the fact at last in
earnest. At intervals, during the last
two years, the employees OF certain
states have banded together to make
their political influence felt In opposi-
ton to anti-railway legislation. In
Minnesota, in Iowa and in Kansas
among the western states. employers
clubs have done themselves and the
railways good service in the past.
Now. after the bitter experience OF the
last few years, the employers all over
the country are rising In protest
against the renewed bitterness OF the
granger attacks. In several states the
railway men OF all classes are fighting
vigorously the various legislative raids
on railway revenues which are threat
ened. Best OF all has been the con-
cluslon reached at the union meeting
of the different railway labor orders
at Little Rock, Ark, when resolution
was adopted calling on members OF all
orders to oppose legislation which
would further reduce railway earnings.
In Illinois, Kansas. Missouri, Ohio and
other states employees are protesting
with more or less unanimity against
the passage OF 2-cent-a-mile passenger
rate laws and similar enactments, all
OF which is very good.
There was u time when II was pos
sible for the public and for the rail-
way employees to be, or pretend to be.
Ignorant OF the real condition Of the
railways. There was time when II
was possible to make the credulous
lel!eve that the books OF railway com
panies were kept in such way that
their true condition was not known,
and that all professions OF poverty on
their part were untrue and made for
political effect only. That time has
passed. The condition of the railway
properties OF the countries is, In its
general outlines at least, known to
anybody who cares to know II. And
the condition. II not desperate. is nt
least seriously critical for the ma
jorl,y of the companies.
There ought to be today not less
than a quarter OF million OF men
more in the employ Of the railways
than there are. They ought to be there
not only for their own sakos, but sim
ply for the safety OF .he travelling pub
lie. The railways Of the country are
operated today with forces which are
far below the danger llno:" and so
leng rs the public and the legislatures
maintain their present attitude, It Is
doubtful n any possible increase In
business from return OF good
times" will enable the companies to
employ the proper number Of men
nnd pay them decent wagos.--lallway

OLD SAW CUTS NO MORE ICE.
Early Rising as Road to Wealth and
Wisdom an Exploded Theory.

Early Rising ms Road to Wealth and
Wisdom an Exploded Theory.
From the Chicago Inter-O Ocean: Some
European scientist, after burning mid
night oil for years In an eadeavor
to discover something new, has jumped
in the air in the agony of discourage
nent and landed with both feet on the
time-honored doctrine that early rising
Is conductive to wealth and wisdom.
He stamps the old rhymed adage. Ear
ly to bed and early to rise makes man
healthy, wealthy and wise," as a de-
lusion and snare, invented by some
farmer who wanted to get more work
out OF his harvest hands. IN support
of his theory the scientist remarks that
insanity is more prevalent among early
risers. Farmers, he says. so mad In
greater numbers than bankers. He
considers raising potatoes more injuri-
Gus to the nervous system than raising
mortgages. Under the new doctrine
the gambler will lead long life,
though he may be short at times. In
cidents can be cited in Chicago which
go to bear up the learned statements
of the European iconoclast, who has
shivcrcd gray haired and beloved SUI
perstition into atoms. To begin with,
there is the milkman, who from years
OF getting up before II Is light around
the pump, has been laboring under the
hallucination that his milk is thick.
This is a form of insanity often met
with, but people have been undecided
what to attribute 1t to. The citizen
who finds fish in his cream may not
know that another honest man has
gone mad. The ravages of early ris-
ing are also evident in the case of the
young husband who arises In the small
hours to lull the screeches of spell
OF collie. Between his set teeth the
breath of madman Kisses the refrain
OF lullaby. stopping now and then to
breathe few words not set to the nil
sic. Under the new order of things the
fisherman In starting out before the
sunrise lays himself liable to home
in the insane asylum; the delivery man
should make his rounds about o'clock,
and street cars should start an hour
later. Stores might open at 10 o'clock,
and by noon business would be in full
blast for the day. Whether there is any
virtue in tho new discovery time alone
will tell. Anyway. 1t is well to give 1t
trial, and but few will be found who
are adverse to lying abed to give the
European scientist n chance to prove
his theory.

TEACHING DOGS TO ATTACK.
Most singular Bu.inr. Of n Trainer of

Buiidegs.
A most singular business Is that OF
certain Herr Strauss Of Berlin. who
trains mnstiffs and bulldogs TO attack
men In order to fit the brutes for pur-
suit OF and conflict with criminals, says
an exchange. He also trains dogs TO do
tricks In exhibitions and for other pur-
poses. but the bulk of his business is OF
the nature outlined IN the previous SEN
toncc. There is frst preliminary
training of n general nature, then the
dogs are put to work on life sized dun
mics Of men. which they are taught TO
throw down, to drag about and TO
watch. This is the most dlfilcult OF all
Herr Strauss work, since II includes

PLEA FOR THE BIRDS.
Their Destruction Is Endangcring tho
Forests and Orchards.

Their Destruction Is Endangcring tho
Forests and Orchards.
A plea for the birds is being widely
disseminated in the form of a circular
which contains earnest words from
Mrs. Caroline b. Hoffman. local secre-
tary Of the Massachusetts Audubon So
ciety. Mrs. Hoffman tells the often
told story of the mother heron which
must be killed when brooding to obtain
the white aigrette which is her decora-
tion at that time. and of the cruelty OF
sacrificing the mother bird and her lit
tie ones for the qualification Of femin-
inc vanity. The Florida heron, she
says. is annihilated. She bases her
plea in this circular more particularly
upon the practical grounds of the great
injury to plants and forests by crea-
lures go useful in destroying inNcts.
She says: Already In the southern
lands OF Europe are the forests perish
Ing in frightful manner, and not less
are the orchards In danger, for against
the increase OF Injurious insects there
is no remedy when the little birds are
missing. And no land in the wide
world Is safe against this horrid de-
struction." Quoting foreign criticism
OF bird decoration, she continues:
How foreign lands think and write
about 1t newspaper from Toxic, ia
pan. will best show. II says: at is not
enough that the Europeans compress
themselves with steel and whalebone;
they also demand for adornment cur
beautiful and useful birds" She con-
cludes: Equally guilty OF this barbar-
Gus custom is every purchaser OF these
birds. martyrs unto death. May these
words meet with the right reception;
may women at length reflect and ac-
knowledge that there is something bet
ter. nobler. more to be desired, than
this foolish style. which Is bought with
the blood and life OF creatures fostered
by tho God OF love. May American
women come to the front and be tho
FIRST to do away with this brutal prac-
ticc. Everywhere our orchards, our
fruit trees. are crying out TO be deiiv-
cred from Insect pests. Competent wit
nesses testify that all over our country,
within generation. birds have dimin-
ished In most rapid manner. and the
injurious insects have made headway
In the same degree. Setting aside all
sentiment, the destruction OF forests,
orchards and fields ought to be sufli-
eient to deter women from indulglng In
this murderous practice"

An odd sight Is to be witnessed daily
on the Consolidated exchange. Visit
ors for some time have noted a little
group of women who stand all day long
