"a CHILD LABOR LAW.
ALL UNDER FOURTEEN YEARS MUST
1 ATTEND SCHOOL on BE IDLE.

Many Regard the New Law - Arbitrary
and Too Sweeping In Its Character.
Serious Wrong inflicted ON Poor People
By Its Prohibitions.
Henceforth no permits will be issued
allowing children under the age Of II
years to do any more work in Illinois.
The new state law passed by the legis.
lature prohibiting employment at any
gainful occupation to boys and girls not
yet IA years old went into effect July
i. In order to avoid any conflict over
the law the Chicago school board has
stopped all permits. This being the
case, it will be only short time hence
when no children will be employed in
any of the large down town stores.
Theodore ]. Bluthardt, superintend-
ent of compulsory education, refuses to
allow children below the required age
even to work during the summer vaca-
tion months. At the same time Mrs.
Marie Owens special officer for the en-
forcement of the compulsory education
laws, began thorough canvass Of all
the stores and factories where boys and
girls are employed. She informs every
employer that no children without per-
mits from the board of education may
be kept at work and that as soon as the
date comes OH which any child's permit
expires it must be discharged, permits
sion in the future being withheld. It is
estimated that at present there are only
about 100 children under IA in any Of
the big stores, this being due to the Wig
lance Of the officials Of the board Of
education in the past during the oper-
alton Of the child labor ordinance which
was enacted by the city council few.
years ago. During the three months Of
summer vacation there have been many
more, greater leniency having been ex-
ercised in granting permits. This year,
however, no child may work during va
cation.
According to Superintendent Bluth-
ardt, he should be given discretion in
the matter of compelling children to 20
to school or work. This was given him
under the municipal act. Hereafter he
will have to see to it that all children
attend school. Under no circumstances
will any store or factory be allowed to
give work to any child. This Mr.. Bluth-
ardt considers too radical regulation.
He says that under the act of the state
Legislature children must be Ia years
old or must loaf all summer. Many, he
believes, would be benefited by having
an opportunity to put in their time at
some occupation, and In doing some
labor would also earn few dollars to
help in their support.
There Is no provision in the law that
keeps the board Of education from issu-
ing its permits as usual, for these sim
ply give child the right to stay away
from school for given time. The en-
ployer would incur the whole risk of
coming into conflict with the law when
he puts the child to work But the COM
pulsory education department does not

The Slee . of Plants

Like animals all plants require in
tervals Of repose, during v hich the Vi
tai functions are sloWe ed down, and the
organic structures undergo repair.
Some plants repose during the rainy
season, others during periods Of
drought, but while some plants sleep
during the cold or the comparatively
cold season Of the year, others again
.Ake their rest hen the average tenn
rerature Is high. 1t occurred to a
Norwegian observer to investigate the
sleep OF plants, more particularly y with
the object Of shortening the period of
repose, and this he claims to have at
tanned by Injecting the bulbs or buds
to the action Of cloroform yapor He
asserts, indeed, that plants thus treat
el subsequently, develop more rapidly
zthan those whose repose has not been
intensified bv the narcotic action of
this drug. and the observation IS not
without considerable interest
If his obser> atIous are trustworthy,
it follows that sleep in plants Is not
strictly lnpar;tble 10 that of animal
HE. Tor We do not suppose that the
period allotted TO sleep by animals
could a1vantageously be shortened by
the administration Of an anasthetic
Sleep, on the other hand, Is Il relative
rather than an absolute condition. It's
value as II restorative depends in a
very marked degree on its intensity,
: and certain individual derive more
benefit and recuperatc their jaded en-
ergies more et1ectually in tive or six
hours than others do after twice as
long. This recuperative energy is as
serted to be an indication OF high
standard Of vitality. and common OBJ
seryation certainly lends color to the
view that diminished recuperative
power is indicative Of physiological
deterioration. London Medical Press

FRANCE AND RECIPROCITY
French Ambassador Proposes to Secretary
Sherman to Open the Way,

Washington September3.-The French
Ambassador, M. Patenotre, called on Sec
retary Sherman to-day relative to the
proposed reciprocity treaty between the
United States and France. The subject
was discussed in q general way, but,
owing to the Importance Of the questions
involved, it Is not expected that final re-
suits will be reached until the return of
the President, who takes q personal in
terest in these reciprocity negotiations.
Under the new law, 1t appears that two
forms Of reciprocity are provided, both
Of which France is desirOus of securing.
The first form contemplates CONNER
Cial agreements in which reciprocal con-
cessions may be secured" This leaves
it to the Judgment of the President to
reduce the duties on certain specified ar
ticles. The President is empowered to
grant the reductions without the formal
tiles of a treaty, which ordinarily must
be submitted to and ratified by the Sen
ate. The matter Of securing concessions
which shall be reciprocal and equivalent
is left entirely to the judgment of the
President. When the agreement is
made, the reductions Of duty go into Op-
GRAFTON by Presidential proclamation.
AS France is a heavy exporter of arti-
cles specified, this form of reciprocity
agreement is Of special concern to that
country.
Aside from the agreements left wholly
to the judgment of the President, the
law also provides for reciprocity treaties
covering the whole range Of articles in
cluded in the tariff. 1t authorizes a re,
duction of 20 per cent. of the duties on
such articles as may be agreed upon, or
transfer Of dutiable goods to the free
list for period not exceeding five years
These treaties, however, must be ratified
by the Senate "and approved by Con-
gress" before they go into effect. 1t Is
probable that France will open negOtia,
tiOns for this latter form Of reciprocity,
although it offers no immediate benefits,
owing to the delays incident to securing
ratification by the Senate and approval
of Congress. The latter feature is unus-
ual and presents the only case in which
treaty must go before the House of
Representatives as we'll as the Senate.
Under these circumstances, the negotia,
tions with France are likely to be con-
fined for the present to the reciprocity
arrangement" as this may be con-
cluded at once and put into immediate
effect by the President.

to be effective from date of resuming
work.
"SecOnd-A straight price of 65 cents
ton, to continue in force until the end
Of the year, with the additional mutual
understanding that joint meeting Of
operators and miners shall be held in
December, 1897, for the purpose of de,
ternining what the rate of mining shall
be thereafter.
"YOur Executive Board and District
Presidents, after much deliberation and
a thorough consideration of the two
propositions do recommend the latter as,
in their judgment, the best that can be
secured because of circumstances that
are apparent to all who study market
conditions since the Inauguration of the
strike.
you, however, are the court Of final
adjudication, and must decide for your
selves what your action shall be and
when work shall be resumed.
Additional reasons will be given and
a full report made Of the general situa>
tiOn at the convention. We would fur
ther advise that delegates come untram-
meled by resolutions and uninstructed,
except to advance your best interests.
The State Board Of Arbitration of
Ohio, which has been in communication
with the operators and the miners union
officials during the conferences, being
asked for an expression about the settle
ment, gave this statement:
"The settlement is a most fortunate
termination of the strike. There has
been no question in any quarter that
miners wages should be increased. The
only question was how much. COnsid-
ering the difficulties in the way on both
sides in regard to the adjustment, which
ever proposition be accepted, it is a very
fair and reasonable one. 1t reflects
great credit upon both parties.
"The operators went more than half
way, and sacrificed not little, but this
is done generously and ungrudgingly,
with the purpose Of securing to their
employees living wage, and their action
is appreciated and met in a spirit Of
kindness and fair dealing We regard
it as foregone conclusion that the set
tlement will be formally ratified on
Wednesday next, and see no reason why
work may not be resumed at once. A
half weeks work will thus be saved and
a large sum Of much-needed money
earned. There should be no further time
lost"

Another Labor Scheme.

Denver, Col, September 3.-Charles
w. Caryl, of this city, will attend the
meeting of labor leaders in Chicago,
September 27, and place before it gi-
gantic scheme which he believes will
solve the labor question quickly and cas-
lily. He submitted his plans to meeting
Of representatives of labor unions here,
and they received general approval. Mr..
Caryl is a prominent mining man, and
it is claimed that his standing with East
ern capitalists has made it possible to
enlist almost any desired amount OF
money in enterprises in which he has
heretofore been engaged. He proposes to
incorporate company with a capital Of
$40, 900 ,000 which is to engage in all
kinds Of productive industry. Stock is
to be sold at par, and money Is also to
be raised by the sale of bonds due in
twenty-five years, bearing per cent
interest and payable in gold. Dividends
on the stock are to be limited to per
cent per annum. All net income above
this and the interest on the bonds is to
be given to the employees OF the COM
pany. The transactions between the
members are to be largely carried on
with checks issued by the company.

Twelve Men Killed in a Mine Explosion.

Glenwood Springs, Col, September 8.
AT o'clock this evening, a terrible
explosion of coal dust occurred in the
old Sunshine mine owned by the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron Company, twelve miles
from GlenwoOd.
At this writing twelve bodies have
been recovered, and so great is the ex-
citement that it cannot be learned
whether there are any more in the mine
or not. Rescuing parties are still ex-
ploring the mine, and great crowds sur
round the entrance.
The bodies recovered are in a most
horribly mutilated condition. The names
of others killed are not Obtainable at
this hour. Physicians have gone from
Glenwood to care for those who may be
recovered and wounded.
Following is a complete list Of names
of those known to be killed: Antoine

Idaho Lawyers to bo Kent Busy.

BOles City, Idaho, September 3.--Dls-
trict Judge George H. Stuart has decided
the anti-gambling law unconstitutional
under the decision Of the Supreme court
in the fee law case, which in effect nulli-
fles all important laws of the State. En-
.cOuraged by this decision, the District
courts Of the State will be flooded with
attacks ON various laws which are
claimed to come under the ban Of the
Supreme court. II the appropriation bin
should be attacked, as seems likely, Gov
ernOr Steunenberg may be forced to re-
convene the Legislature. Should the
Governor decide to call an extra session
of the Legislature, he will be in a guam
dary to know which to convene, as it is
presumed that all but the first session
under Statehood was Illegal, the legisla
tive apportionments being open to attack
under the Supreme court decision.
