WILL HEAR REPORTS.
Important Meeting OF Railway Employees
Is TO Be Held 10 This City
Tomorrow.

A meeting of peculiar significance
and importance to railway employees
and railway companies alike will take
place in this city tomorrow, when the
State Legislative Board of Railway
Employees of Pennsylvania will gather
in bi-annual session in Raubs hall, on
Wyoming avenue. The board is COM
posed of one delegate from every divis-
ion or lodge of the following railway
employees organizations in this state:
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
Order of Railway Conductors, Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen and Order
of Railway Trainmen. AS there are
over four hundred lodges and divisions
in the state, an attendance of 200 dele
gates is not improbable.
The opening session will convene at
10 o'clock in the morning. According
to the official call the purpose of the
meeting is, among other things, "to
agree upon a line of action to be fol-
lowed for securing such legislation as
may be considered beneficial to the
railway employees of this state" and
ito transact such business as may
properly come before it,
1t is also stated in the call that "it
is to be a meeting that will have the
tendency to make the politicians
squirm." This is explained in the fact
that the record of the voting and ac-
tiOn of senators and representatives on
recent labor measures and the status
of those measures will be made known
in detail and delegates will be instruct
ed on what kind of a report to make to
the divisions and lodges they represent
concerning the relations of their legis-
lators toward railway labor.
The st. Charles hotel has been select
ed as the headquarters of the dele
gates and the stopping place for the
following state officers: E. Bennett
Mitchell, president, Harrisburg; II. r.
Fuller, vice-president, Beaver Falls
Pa; j. N. Weller, secretary, Mauct
Chunk; f. M. McAlpin, treasurer

Effectiveness
is the weapon with which she conouers her
world. Almost every woman believes that
she possesses at least some one attractive
feature and strives to make the most of that
But mere regularity Of feature is not the
most attractive form Of beauty.
Mankind is more influenced blythe bright
glowing vitality of perfect health. A Classic
cast of countenance will not make woman
attractive and captivating, if she is pale.
complexion or unwholesome breath.
These complaints are due to imperfect
nutrition. The digestive and blood making
organs fail to extract the needed nourish-
ment from the food, and the liver is too slug
gish to cleanse the blood of bilious impuri-
ties. The entire constitution becomes weak
and poisoned.
The only perfect antidote for this state of
things is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t gives power to the digestive and
nutritive organs to make an abundance of
pure, rich, highly vitalized blood, which
permeates the whole system with the sweet
ness of purity; the beauty of wonanly vigor
and animation.
1t creates solid, healthy flesh and natural
les; rounds out the form and imbues the
whole physique with the irresistible natural
magnetism of perfect health.

Chinese Hotels.

The hotels are usually grouped with
Ill square or two of one another. Each
one seeks to attract guests by high
sounding titles. For example, in Can
ton are hotels which flaunt the signs of
The Fortunate Star, The Golden Profits
Tan unusually frank confession for q
landlord to make), The Rank Confer
ring and Tho Happiness. Tho food is
not so bad, but the traveller who goes
to one of these houses to sleep will
wish that no had gono to another. The
bedrooms arc small thin walled boxes
i'll which you may hear the breathing
of your next neighbor or be kept awake
half the night by the conversation of
people at the other end of the hall, or,
worse still, DO almost stifled by the
smoke from an opium pipe which is be-
ing INDUCED Ill by the man across the
passageway.
The tea saloons furnish employment
to singers and ventriloquists or elocu-
tionists, who are hired by the propri-
etor to entertain tho men who gather
there to drink tea and gossip. Upon
small tables are placed trays holding
variety of cakes and preserves, which
are served with each cup of delicious,
freshly made tea.
The house of entertainment peculiar
to China is tho dog and cat meat res
taurant This does not mean that house
hold pets are there brought to DO fed,
but that Tabby and Fido are served up
i'll stews. According to prices charged
for other food, these stcws are rather
expensive, especially if the cat or dog
chance to be black, and therefore moro
nutritious, according to popular notion.

To father and to mother.
And to save yourselves from tho bitter pain
That comes when regret and remorse are vain
Be good to one another.
