BY the very decisive vote OF 10 to ; the
city council last night refused to submit
TO popular vote the proposed amendment
10 the city charter. abolishlng the civil
service system
The hght. though lost by such heavy
adds. vas kept up TO the very last, and the
overwhelming interest which seemed to be
felt In it. both ny members OF the council
and by the body OF visitors in the gallery,
quite ecIipsed the ordinary proceedings Il
a busy routine session and threw every
thing else into the shade.
This interest Was intensified rather
than diminished by the afternoon session
of the committee OF the whole There
had been an attempt 20 hold a meeting OF
this committee last Thursday night. and
from the fact, AS reported at the time.
that there were precisely enough men,
bers absent TO break quorum. the infer
ence was drawn by some people that GER
tain members OF the council were pursu-
ing a policy OF tiuesse or evasion The
matter than went over until yesterday
afternoon, when a decided quorum was
present. only TWO members being absent.
l. was late. however, before the commit
tee was called 10 order, and even then its
atteption was occupied for more than an
hour by another matter the Colnsn spur
railroad track. which had also been re-
ferred TO the committee of the whole.
Then, TOO, some members seemed to re-
sent the absence of even two OF their
colleagues and 20 ascribe that absence to
a desire 10 shirk the responsibility OF
direct vote on the civil service amend
ment. Accordingly. the matter was car
ried directly 10 the council with the rec
ommendaton that 1t be- made the special
order for $50 o'clock. The special feature
OF the afternoon session in committee was
a speech by William Voigt the father OF
the movement against the Seattle civil
service. II is not generally known bat is
none the less interesting on that account,
that Mr.. Voixt. prior 20 Ms attack on this
system, was an applicant for one OF the
positions within the scope OF it's opera
tions viz. secretary OF the board OF pub
lie works, ana that MS application was
unsuccessful II his speech he boldly took
the position Of an ardent advocate x
civil service. ohjecting TO the Seattle sys-
TEN only because Of what ne regarded a.
grave AMI radical defects IN It.

New York, March 19.-Bradstreets
says: The aggregate volume of the
country's business continues sufficient
ly large to allow Of favorable compari-
sons with preceding years. Aside from
a quietng demand at a few leading
eastern markets, where uncertainty as
to the outcome Of foreign complications
is advanced as a S:son for unwilling
ness to embark in new business. the sit
uation is one possessing nearly all Of
the favorable features noted for some
time past. Favorable weather has i'm
proved distribution of dry goods, cloth
ing, millinery, building materials. agri-
cultural implements and nearly all 9TH
er products forming staple articles of
consumption among the prosperous
farming community.
The movement of iron and steel is es-
pecially large, but without effect on
prices, which are generally very firmly
held other favorable features of the
country's general trade situation are
summed up in liberal shipments of lead
ing cereals, unprecedented totals of ex-
ports at New York, fewer business fail
ures and slightly larger bank clearings

Hothers who have young daughters Of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
development of their body is of the first inn
portance. After the confinement of the
school room, plenty of out-of-door exercise
should be taken. 1t is better that their
children never learn their a, b, c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this is self-evident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, If rightly applied,
may save your daughter:
The young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes
the fifteen -year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Stephen Barnes, who lives near Bur-
ney, Ind. She is a bright young lady, is
fond of books, although her progress in this
line has been considerably retarded by the
considerable amount of sickness she has ex-
perienced. She has missed two years of
school on account of her bad health, but now
she will be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.
Her father was talking of her case to
newspaper man one day recently. my
daughter has had a very serious time of il, !"
said Mr.. Barnes, "but now we are all happy
to know that she is getting alsRg all right
and is stronger than ever" Asked 10 relate
the story of his daughter, Mr.. Barnes con-
tinued: "About three years ago, when she
was twelve years old, she began to grow
weak and nervous. Ii was, of course, deli
cate age for her. She gradually grew weaker
and her nerves were at such tension that
the least little noise would irritate her very
much and she was very miserable. There
was continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs, and we were afraid that she
was going to develop st. Vitus' dance.
"She kept getting worse and finally we
had to take her from her school and her
studies. She was strong and healthy before,

almost lifeless. We did everything we could
for her, and tried all the doctors who we
thought could do her any good but wlthout

us to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills for her.
We had no faith in them, but were finally
persuaded to try the pills. We have never
been sorry for it. They helped her at once,

She took the last dose in April, and has not

before, and her cheeks are full Of color.

that DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People

them, curing all forms of weakness arising
from watery condition of the blood or

most every i'll to which flesh is heir. The

ing the subJect al Improving the LAW
Some Reflections ca the Jurists INDUCED
In by TiIlmsn and Elkins, the Latter Re
ferring to the Disputed Tariff Clause
Present Law Declared "a Failure.
Washington. March 19.-The senate
sommittee on interstate commerce yes
terday resumed it's hearings upon the
Cullom bill amending the present inter-
state commerce law. Judge NJ A.
Knapp, of the interstate commerce
commission, addressed the committee
in favor of the proposed bill. He said
that the situation, so far as the pres
ent law was concerned, had resolved
itself into this: that the original ma
chinery-the prese~ law-crude and in
effective in some aspects, has practi-
cally broken down. The proposed bill is
to provide new machinery by which the
principles involved in the original law
may be made effective Judge Knapp
explained that the courts had seriously
affected the law by their decisions. Sen
ator Tillman inquired what reason
there was for believing that the courts
would not refine away the proposed bill
as they had the present law.
Judge Knapp replied that it was inn
possible to foretell what the courts
might do. THE best we can do" said
he, lis carefully and thoughtfully to
legislate upon this subject"
Eikins Has IA Slap at the Courts.
1T doesn't SEEM" said Tillman. that
plain English alone is sufficient as ap-
piled to railroads"
"Or as applied to section 22 of the tar
if law" interjected Elkins.
Continuing his statement Judge
Knapp said that section Of the pres
ent law had, in its operation, been Sc
riously crippled by the decisions of the
courts. The proposed substitute for
that section, he said, is practically the
British law and has received the APP
proval of the commission after the most
careful thought. "As it is proposed"
said Judge Knapp, "the section will be
in entire harmony with the measure as
a whole, which confers the right upon
carriers TO establish rates that are high
er for short than for longer distances.
Important Amendments Proposed.
One provision of the proposed bill,
Judge Knapp explained, made it inn
perative upon the railroads to publish
their freight and passenger tariffs. In
that respect he deemed the existing law
faulty. Another important amendment
to the existing law, Judge Knapp be-
lieVed, was that which reads: mo
change shall be made in the schedules
of rates, fares and charges filed and
published as aforesaid unless the car
rier files with the commission a state
ment Of such changes. and posts new
schedules as hereinbefore provided, or
plainly indicates such changes upon
those already posted, at least sixty days
before the taking effect of such
changes" Judge Knapp explained at
length some of the other provisions Of
the proposed bill, describing the techni-
cal differences between them and those
Of the existing law. He had not con-
Cluded when the committee Adjourned.
