POLICE COMMISSIONERS
Hold An Important Meeting.-Did
Not Order ROping on of Streets
For Sickness,

The Board OF Police Commissioners
net in regular session last evening.
A communication was received from
the Street and Sewer Department relative
70 the roping off of streets in cases OF
sickness. 1t was referred back to the
Department with the note that in no in.
stance had the Police Department given
permission for such procedure. and in
AL such cases it was thought that the
Street and Sewer Department had given
she authority as the police had no power
to issue any such permits No further
action was taken in the matter.
A communication was received from
the se' geants asking permission to hold
field sports at Union Park on Monday,
lime "a. The request was granted with
the proviso that the officers must not ex-
pect to be paid for any loss of time re.
suiting from injuries received at said
sports.
Certified copies of two recent acts OF the
Legislature, empowering house sergeants
10 issue warrants and take bail, were re-
eeiyed and accepted. 1t was decided to
have printed forms prepared of the rules
governing such actions on the cart of the
sergeants.
Chief Dolan was instructed to subscribe
for the Detective, monthly publication,
d being the official organ of the police
departments.
Orders No. l67 and l6S issued by the
Chief of Police were confirmed by the
Board. These orders refer to the dress
and department Of the police during the
ho nd hni
pearance in court.
A communication was received from
the Wawaset Driving Park, requesting
that booth be placed in the park. Tie
commissioners felt compelled to refuse
the request on the grounds that the eX-
pense was too great, necesstatlng the
running Of their wires distance OF over
= half mile. The Board stated that they
would grant all police protection in its
power and suggested that the park
association put in telephone coinec-
eions.
1t was decided to adv"rtise for winter
aniforms for the police, as during the
months Of July and August the lailors
are enabled to make the garments
cheaper, as these are slow months in the
business.
Three dozen more blank books for use
OF pawn brokers were ordered.
The proposed old fashioned celebration
Of the Fourth OF July was discussed by
the commissioners, and it was agreed
That the police officers should give all
possible protection to person and proE-
erty during the celebration while aiding
IN every way TO make the day success.
1t is the desire Of the department that
aIl persons should refrain from discharg
ing firearms and large fire crackers be-
lore and after the Fourth Of July Those
detected in 50 doing will be at once
arrested and fined

Flour was rather steadier, owing to the
improvement in wheat, but quotations
were unchanged and buyers confined
their operations to small lines to satisfy
pressing wants. Spot Bran was scarce
and IitlIe wanted. Baled Hay and Straw
were plentiful, dull, and weak. Re-
fined Sugars were in fair request and
firm. Provisions were in moderate job
bing demand and without important
change in prices. Wheat was hrner,
due to higher cables and covering bv
shorts in other domestic grain centres,
and prices advanced &c. There was,
however, no trading here and offerings
Of spot Wheat were very light. Corn
options were dull, but steady on call,
under moderate offerings. Cables were
stronger, but exporters manifested lit !e

THE EIGHT-H0IR LAW.
President Gompers' Circular to State
Labor bodies.

President Gompers of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor has sent to each of the
state branches of the a. f. of l.. a copy of
the following letter:
During the last session of Congress our
| eight-hour bill III. r. 1890 passed the
House of Representatives. Owing to the
opposition of some senator's, il did not pass
the Senate. 1t is unnecessary at this time
to enter into an argument in favor of the
eight-hCur day and its establishment by
| law for all government work, whether per-
formed direct or by contract, but one state
ment made by an interested opponent will
suffice to convince all that it will not de-
stroy nor niure or be an obstacle in the
general industries, nor the development of
our Increasing shpbuilding.
Mr. Cramp of the Cramp ship yards, be-
fore the Senate commtte on educattOn and
labor. admitted that Notwithstanding the
workmen in the ship yards of France work
ed eleven and twelve hours per day and
the workmen in the ship yards OF the
United States nine ten. that while
French ship builders offered to build Rus
sian warshps in five years, Mr.. Cramps
company agreed to build the vessels in
thirty months Notwithstanding wages
are higher In the United States than in
France the French shipbuilders wanted
more money to build the Russian war YES
sells than the Cramp company had contract
ed to deliver them. This is stated TO you
so that You may meet any statement of
The executive council of the American
Federation of Labor, at the meeting held
here October 24-25. 1898. instructed the un-
dersigned to request you. and ! do so re-
quest you now. to associate with yourself
any committee of union men for the pur-
pose of waiting upon Senator - and his
associate, Senator --, for the purpose Of
securing a promise from them that they
will favor our eight-hour bill Oh. r. 1880
at the coming session of Congress in De-
cember. If necessary, We should be pleased
to have you appoint committees to wait up
on either or both of these senators to OBJ
tain like results.
I'VE have no partisan interest 10 further
or to punish; our movement, our cause and
our interests are committed to and largely
involved in the eight-hour law and the
eight-hour movement: We propose to op
pose those who are antagonistic to the law
full and peaceful methods and measures OF
our organized fellow workers.
Even though there be no election for
United States senators in your state, sem
atOrs are undoubtedly interested in having
representatives, state legislators and mu-
nicipal officers elected of their own party.
Letters similar to this are being sent to
the several states whose senators have op-
posed are Indifferent to our bill.
by the cordial and prompt cooperation
of all there can be no doubt that we shall
remove opposition to our bill

Do You Need
Building Up?

You may be a large eater and vet
be weak and not weigh as much as
YOU should. This is because YOU do
not receive proper nourishment from
your diet If you wish to be strong
and increase in weight take Johann
Hoff's Malt Extract Taken with
meals it will assist the proper diges-
ton of food and cause it to be easily
assimilated; YOU will then obtain
from your diet the largest amount OF

Extract is not only true nutritive
tonic, but is a food in itself.
