RIDING FOR INSOMNIA.
Outings on the Trolley Cars to NAL

Outings on the Trolley Cars to Make
People Sleep.
"There is great deal of sound
sense in persons suffering from insom-
mia taking rides on the trolley car to
make them sleep, as know from con-
slant experience" said conductor on
an Overlook night car to the Phila-
delphia Times. men who ride occa-
sionally after midnight, and get on the
car quite clipper, after Eighth street,
are sound asleep before they reach the
Schuylkill River. 1t is only men who
are accustomed to work after midnight
that can keep awake for long ride.
1t is a common thing for me to see
twenty men in a late car, all asleep.
II know where they want to go
wake them up, but they don't alwayy
tell me.
"The other night man who lives
near Fifty-second and Jefferson streets
boarded down car after midnight,
saying that he could not sleep, and he
thought a trolley ride would do him
good. He kept awake all right until
we got to the ferry, but on the up trip,
after o'clock, he fell asleep with the
rest of the men in the car. 1 forgot
all about him when we reached his
street and carried him to Overlook.
Well, what's stranger, I forgot him
again on the down trip and he slept
all the way to the ferry. He made an
awful row. On the up trip he slept all
the way again, but it was daylight
when he got to Forty-second street.
The policeman on that corner was
waiting for the car. The mans wife
had been out to look for him"

NO REPORT ON THE CABLE.
Attorney General Knox Fails to Civ

Attorney General Knox Fails to Give
Decision at Cabinet Meeting.
Washington, Oct. Attorney Cen
eral Knox, to whom President Roose-
welt referred the matter of the right
of the United States to grant the priv
ilege of landing a cable in the Philip-
pines to the Pacific Commercial Cable
company, did not report on the subject
at the cabinet meeting, as was antici-
pated, but it is understood that his re-
port will be ready at the next meeting
OF the cabinet on Tuesday. The Pacific
Commercial Gable company is desirous
of laying a cable across the Pacific
without a cent of cost to the United
States government and to give all gov
eminent business the right of way. The
question seems to hinge on the right
OF the government to grant this priv
llege to anybody, in the face of con.
cession granted by the Spanish gov
eminent for period of thirty years.

France Mepaced by Big Strike.

Paris, Oct. Tn spite of the efforts
of the national government, which APP
pointed a parliamentary commission to
study the grievances of the miners Of
northern France, it now seems that
great general strike is about to be de-
clared on the part of 100000 miners.
Such a strike would constitute the big
gest labor movement of this kind in
the history Of France. BY general vote
the miners for the second time have
signifed their intention to stop work
unless the following conditions are
granted: A guaranty that their sal
aries shall not drop below a certain
fixed minimum; an eight-hour day, in
Guiding the time expended in going
into and mounting from the mines;
quarter of an hour for lunch; pen
sion of two francs man after twenty
five years of service. The companies
owning the mines without exception re-
fused one and all of the above de-
mands, and agree that strike is in
eyitable
