How Is IT TO BE ENFORCED p
The bill TO compel certain employers
to furnish seats for their female en-
ployees, it is explained, provides that
any person who violates its terms, "or
who suffers or permits any woman 10
stand" in violation of its terms, shall
be guilty of misdemeanor, and on
conviction shall be punished by fine
of from $40 to 500 for each offence,
The question remains, how is the bill
to be enforced, and it is one, we think
which requires all the attention which
the friends of the measure can give &c
it. OF course, when girl is discharged
from a store or shop or office, for any
cause, she will be at liberty to repor,
her employer for violation of the law

possibility of such action on her part
will affect the conduct of employers in
some measure but the bill is not de-
signed to operate on so limited a scale,
and it is to be considered that the en-
ployees will be deferred from even
such action by the fear of being black

to demand the services of police in

although my arrangements of the past

THE BUSINESS SIDE.

|0NE of the most successful farmers in
~ York county says that no farmer can
afford to either sow or plant crop on land
that has not been thoroughly broken and
we'll pulverized, and that a farmer who
undertook to break land with one-horse
plows, was standing in his own light,
provided. of cnirse, he had two horses or
mules /; because one man and two mules
with an OLIVER CHILLED PLOW
could do as much work in one day as two
men and two mules with single plows,
and do BETTER WORK, as the fellow
with the Oliver plow could plow any
depth desired, and plow closer, and the
work of one man would be saved, which,
in breaking 20 acres, wonld save enough
in wages to pay for the plow.
THERE IS NO DOUBT
AS to the soundness of the proposition
that the fellow who succeeds on the farm
will be the one who appreciates the i'm
portance of saving labor by using such
preparing the soil and cultivating crops,
because the ruling prices for farm pro-
ducts will not warrant the extravagant
methods in vogue during the past "a years.
We do not handle an implement that has
been before the farmers of the United
States less than 20 years, and, therefore,
there can be no question as to their merit.
We know that we have the BEST, and
are sure that after sufficient money has
been wasted in experimenting with stuff
represented to be "just as good" that the
victims will wind up by getting right and
buying our plows, harrows, mowers.
rakes, binders, etc. The wise one will
start right. GRIST COUSINS.

NEW WAY TO KILL CATS.
Had Twenty Four of Them In the Trap
Mt One Time.

Mr.. Symms' back garden has been
for many years infested with cats. AZ
fictions sore from this particular cause
he bore, and bootjacks We're in vain.
The voices Of the cats were to the last
degree exasperating to his nerves, and
a month ago Mr.. Symms was appar-
emily on the way to fall victim to per-
sistent insomnia.
One night peculiarly melodious
sound floated up to Mr.. Symms' back
windows. 1t was gentle, soothing
sound, of delicious timbre, and, while
totally different from the yell Of an
ordinary cat, it suggested what the
voice of a celestial and glorifed cat in
another and better world might be.
Mr.. Symms listened with admiration
and delight, and in short time was
lulled to sleep by the melodious voice.
In the morning an investigation in
the back garden resulted In the discov-
cry of what appeared to be new spe-
cies of animal-half cat and half tin
cana sort of connecting link between
live cat and canned sausage. 1t APP
pears that a can containing little pre-
served salmon had been carelessly
thrown into the garden by the servant.
A predatory cat had squeezed her head
into the can in order to get at the sal
mon, and had found out, when it was
too late, that the fragments Of tin
round the mouth of the can prevented
her Withdrawing her head. In these
circumstances she wandered about the
garden, blind, and unable to escape.
The voice was SO modified by the can
that it lost it's harsh and distinctive.
feline character, and became the deli
cious music which had charmed Mr..
Symms' midnight ear.
Mr.. Symms at once saw that the
means of rendering all the cats Of the
neighborhood harmless was at his COM
mand. The next night he placed "a
salmon tins In his back garden, and in
the morning he found that "a cats had
bonneted themselves.

United Labor Interests Sustain Shovelers
In Renewed Strike at Buffalo.
BUFFALO, May 16.-The dock situa-
ton is worse than at any time since the
opening of the season. The monthly
men. the men who work inside of the ele-
vators, are out and have agreed to re-
main out until the grain shovelers' and
the freight handlers strikes are settled.
Today every elevator here will be idle,
unless new men can be secured to take
the places of the monthly men, which
is said to be improbable.
Bishop Quigley and the leaders of the
grain shovelers held a conference yes
terday that lasted until o'clock at
night. The grain shovelers claim that
Mr.. Connors had violated all the essen
tial provisions of the agreement that the
Lake Carriers association had made
with the union. The bishop afterward
addressed big meeting of the grain
shoyelers. He told them that in view
of the course adopted by the contractors,
he would not advise them to return to
work. 1t had been decided, he said,
that the only way to win victory that
would have any material results was
for all the laboring men employed on
the docks, including grain shovelers,
monthly men, freight handlers, coal
passers, ore handlers and hosting engi-
neers, to unite and continue the struggle
until the grievances Of each had been
settled. He also said that no settle
ment would be effected until contract
ors agreed to employ none but members
of the new Grain Shovelers' union. If
this demand was not agreed to, Bishop
Quigley said. the Lake Carriers asso-
citation would be asked to abrogate the
contract.
Boss Scooper Newell was set upon last
night while returning from work by
crowd of boys. He drew revolver and
fired two shots in the air. Before he
reached home crowd of women, num-
bering over 100, joined in the attack
upon him, beat him badly and took
away his revolver. Newell was rescued
by the police. Trouble is feared.
