EIGHT HOURS FOR PRINTERS.
T~ypOgraphicaI Union Committee Con
sidering Al Shorter Work Day.

A committee from the I~nternationa
Typographical Union is at work in the as
ISOLATION headquarters in this city arrang-
ing a plan for reducing the work day of
union printers. The committee is composed
OF James }. Murphy of New York, c.. E.
Hawkes. of San Francisco, Gordon H. Rus
sell OF Chattanooga, David Hastings of
Hamilton, Ont, and r. B.. Prendergast of
Chicago. The scheme to cut down the work.
ing time of printers was introduced at the
last meeting of the Typographical Union
held at Colorado Springs. A short work
day would effect only those members of the
trade working in the book and job offices.
as the machine offices already observe the
elght-hour law 1t is thought, however.
that the plan, If carried out, will have an
indirect effect on the other branches of
trade affiliated with the international
Typographical Union. The international
BODY has jurisdiction over the United
states and Canada. In Canada they have
the nine-hour law, which went into effect
in 1872.
TIL committee believes there will be no
friction in bringing about the change in
the working time of printing offices. They
say that IN many cities the employers are in
favor of shortening the work day. The
committee did not come to definite con-
cluslons yesterday as to the methods to be
employed in bringing the scheme about and

sand, mingled with water and gravel, is
raised into the boat by a pump. 1t is all
thrown into a large perforated cylinder. As

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean Make n Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
apOIis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring RENE
dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost
sight of; the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach
weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself
not in the stomach SO much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the heart
palpitates and lis irregular; in others the
kidneys are affected; in others the bowels
are constipated, with headaches; still
others are troubled with loss of flesh and
appetite, with accumulation of gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
street, indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to
write these few lines regarding the new and
valuable medicine Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. | nave been a sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and other
remedies without any favorable result:
They sometimes gave temporary relief until
the effects of the medicine wore off. | at
tributed this to my Sedentary habits, being
a bookkeeper with little physical exercise,
but l am glad to state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstacles, for l have
gained in flesh, sleep better and am better
in every way. The above is written not for
notoriety, but is based on actual fact. Re
spectfully yours, A. w. SHARPER,
81 Prospect street, Indianapolis, Ind"
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or
disease except cancer of stomach They
cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and
appetite, Sleeplessness, pa~lp1tatlon, heart-
burn, constipation and headache.

Interest in the park question seems to be
growing in the northeast part of town,
judging by the enthusiasm and earnestness
manifested at the public meeting at the
corner of Hillside avenue and old Eighth
street last night. There was a larger crowd
thar at the meeting last week. Persons
who have been circulating petitions urging
the Board of Park Commissioners to spend
$50, goo to $4,000 in that part of town re-
ported that many signatures had been OBJ
tanned. This community feels that it is en-
titled to more consideration than has been
shown it by the board. 1t is proposed to
buy about seventeen acres of ground along
Pogue's run The citizens want this in-
creased to eighty or a hundred acres. A
committee was appointed to wait on the
board.
There will be another public meeting Tues
day evening of next week at the same
place.

THE NATIONAL ROAD.
COunty's Authority 10 Order 1t I'm
Proved to IryingtOn.

Yesterday County Attorney Hovey gave
an opinion on the question of improving the
National road from the city through to IrV-
ington, by action of the County Commits
sioners. Three laws are quoted, all OF
which, in his opinion, are in force. That OF
1877 mentions, as the first step toward such
an Improvement, the filing of a petition by
at least five persons whose property would
be assessed for the improvement. A law OF
1885 provides for a petition by the majority
of property owners residing within two
miles of the proposed road. A law of 1893,
amended in 1895, provides for petition by
fifty freeholders of the township or town
ships along the road, including towns or
cities of less than 10000 inhabitants, and
the approval of the majority of the voters
at an election. The attorney holds that
proceedings may be taken under any of the
acts, as neither of the two later acts pro-
vide for the repeal of former acts.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The catcher
service in the railway mail service, where
by mail is dropped on to cranes at small
stations from fast trains, is given the postal
authorities much annoyance and complaints
are frequent. Acting General Superintend-

issued two orders to correct abuses. One
prohibits the use of damaged or insecure
catcher pouches. and the other directs di-
vision railway mail superintendent to in
struct postmasters as to properly hanging
catcher pouches in the mail cranes. Both
of the orders are due to reports indicating
damage by use of damaged catcher equip
ment and improper placing of sacks in the
small cranes. The second order is issued
