In a large American building, in
which hundreds of employees were en-
gagged on the various floors, much in
convenience was caused by overcrowd-
ing on the stairs and in the elevators
at the times appointed for beginning
and ccasing work. It was therefore
decided to prevent this by keeping
the clocks at different times. The
clock on the ground floor was correct,
but that on the first floor was a little
slow, and SO the graduation went on
to the top of the building. The re-
suit was that each floor was cleared
at q different time. @

THE PRoHIBITIoN1sTs
Meet in National Convention In Chit
cage and Adopt a Platform
OF Principles.

Chicago, June 2s.-T The prohibition.
lists met in national convention here
yesterday and adopted a platform, a
synopsis of which follows:
I'VE submit that the democratic and re-
publican parties are alikei nsincere in their
assumed policy to trusts and monopolies.
They~dare. not and do not attack the most
dangerous of them all, the liquor power.
So long as the saloon ~debauches the citi-
zen and breeds the purchasable voter,
money will continue to buy its way to
power. s.H ha#tGH3 ~
I'VE face with sorrow, shame and fear
the awful fact that the liquor traffic has a
grip on our government, municipal, state
and national, through the revenue system
and saloon sovereignty, which no other
party dares to dispute; a grip which DOM
mates the party now in power from caucus
to congress-, from policeman to president,
from the rumshop to the white house, a
grip which compels the chief executive to
consent that law shall be nullitied in behalf
of the brewer, that the canteen shall'curse
our army and spread intemperance across
the seas. sa.#Fg $3.50 9a
1--WE charge upon, President Mckinley
responsibility for the army canteen, with
all its dire brood of disease, immortality,
sin and death. in this country, in Cuba, in
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
1--WE deplore the fact that an administra-

power to carry our flag across the seas,
and to conquer and annex new territory,
should admit its lack of power to prohibit
the American saloon on subjugated soil
or should openly confess itself subject to
liquor sovereignty under that flag.
w declare that the only policy which
the government of the United States can of
right adopt as to the liquor traffic under
the national constitution, upon any terri
tory under the military or civil control of
that government, is the policy of prohibi-
ton.

The Emperor Menelik, says the
London Mail, has entirely forbidden
tobacco, which has raised so great a
clamor as to give pause even to an
absolute ruler. 1t is whispered that
the reason for the prohibition rises
from the fact that one day. seeing
some Englishmen with their pipes
and general air of well-being, he de-
cided to try tobacco for himself. He
borrowed q pipe and some very strong
tobaeco-it must have been Italian
and began. Since then even the odor
of the weed recalls those moments
