FOR LABOR'S
Amendment 60 the Constitution Proposed
by Senator Clark.

Among the most important legisla-
tion the present session will have to
consider is the two bills introduced in
the senate Thursday by Senators Stan
ton and CLARK.
The fellow servant bill which bears
the distinction of being the first bill
introduced in the senate, provides for
the classification of employees of the
same class as fellow servants.
The title of the bill is as follows:
ga bill for an act to define the
terms fellow servant and vice prin-
cipal, in relation to employment in
the occupation of ~railroading within
this state; to legally determine what
persons are fellow servants, and what
persons are vice principals, al re
spects employees of railway corpora
thus to-establish the liability of rail
road corporations for damages to en-
ployes in consequence of negligence of
agents, and other employees of cor
porations and to declare void contracts
effeoting such liability"
The bill specifies fellow servants as
those who are employed in the small
kind of work in the same particular
locality.
Senator Clark's bill proposes an
amendment to article IS of the consti-
tuition, by adding seven additional
sections to the article regarding Ia
Dor. The amendments proposed are
sweeping in their character.
The first clause has to do with the
protection Of the rights Of labor, while
another establishes an eight-hour day
in all public works.

Among the social arrange.

for. The club meets each
Thursday afternoon and once a
month makes an unusual spread
and invites it's gentlemen friends
to partake of the good things
of life.
Originally the club was com.
posed of single young ladies,
but some of the young married
ladies discovered that they
were enjoying themselves so
much that they plead for mem.
bership and were permitted to
enter the portals that swing
between dry.as-dust and the in.
nocent sweets of life.
Al the last meeting the club
was entertained by Mrs. Carl
Jaeger at her lovely suburban
home and at the appointed hour
frills, fun and laughter came
trooping in, bent on one more
good time.
With the exception of Miss
Louise Lyon, who is visiting in

Inquirer scores some of the wise
ones rather roughly, and in
closing the editorial says:
ut is common matter for
readers of newspapers to con.

Pace That Kills.

Has Teddy, the president. set
the pace that kills? might just
ly be asked of the Republican
politicians of the North and
West. When negro politicians
visit their white brethren may
they not ask for a seat at the
family table and the spare bed,
if not why not? Teddy tset the
pace, if negro is socially good
enough for Teddy, why isn't he
good enough for the politician,
Bill Jones or Jim Smith, of the
city or county? Now is the time
for the ambitious negro TO get

and Booker Washington.

Ladies Attention.

Something new, pretty. good

things they personally saw,
half of them will contradict the
rest. If you have half a dozen
experts testifying to the con.
illusions of science on a matter
of dispute. they will give you
Numerically opposite conclu.
sions, If you have as many
historians sitting in the calm
university libraries to write out
at their leisure their accounts
of the same historical event, no
two of them Will be likely to
agree.
"Therefore, it is not very
surprising that when a history
of the weeks news has been re-
corded-tired in at Maxim gun
speed by an army of reporters
and correspondents, and put to
press sizzling hot, there will
occasionally be found in it a
statement in which more leis-
urely Investigation can find
flaws. Bur it may be said with
absolute confidence that the
number OF misstatements in any
first class newspaper is as small
as the utmost vigilance and I'M
renting care can make it,"
And this is pretty close to

| PITTSBURG, Dec. 1.-THE city is
much excited over the horrible muir
der which occurred here last night
| Miss Harriet Murphy, socially
prominent and well known in church
circles, being treasurer of the Kings
ley House fund. was found dead this
morning in her room at her house in
the fashionable section of the city.
She had pistol in her hand and
lay stretched upon the floor with bull
let hole gaping in her forehead,
Miss Murphy lived with her broth
er, who is city alderman, and with
the exception of three servants, she
was the only occupant of the house.
She was in the habit of keeping large
sums of money of the Kingsley fund
in her room. not putting 1t in the
bank until 1t had reached up into the
thousands OF dollars.
Some thieves, knowing of the hab-
it of Miss Murphy. planned the rob-
| 0ltv ,1,..,,
entered her room. There was
struggle, and Miss Murphy. who slept
with revolver under her pillow and
understood handling the weapon,
probably wounded the rufiian who
fed before he had secured the booty.
But his victim was murdered before
he departed.
Owing to the prominence OF the
Murphy family. the entire police
force has been at work endeavoring
to ferret out the mystey, but thus
far no clue has been obtained of the
murderer.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE
railroad service in this state has been
badly crippled by the floods of Sat
urday night and Sunday. The roads
are. however, gradually recovering
their normal condition and by tomor-
ow morning it is expected that trains
will again be running regularly.
Thousands of laborers are at work
today repairing the damage to road
beds and bridges wrought by the
rushing waters.
The railroads suffering the most
damage are the Lehigh Valley Cen
tral of New Jersey, the Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western,
a.'d the New York Central.
In some locations 1t will be weeks
before the damage is fully repaired
The sweep OF waters was greater in
before, and many bridges that have
withstood the floods of years have
been washed away. The sudden
drop in the temperature was provl
dental in some respects, as it pre-.
vented the flood from spreading but
1t entailed great suffering on two
thousand or more people who have
rendered homeless by the destruction
of their houses.
All the passengers on the stalled
trains were removed from their un
comfortable situations last night and
this morning by the railroad compan-
les, and are now being taken to their
destinations.
