The Eight Hour Bill Will Have a
 Hearing Tuesday.

Labor Organizations From Connecticut
 Are Behind the Bill-The Tobacco
 Question Discussed by Secretary
 Wilson-Bill Presented By Congress-
 man Russell Concerning Chinese
 Expulsion Act-People Along Con
 necticut Shore Ask for Improve
 ments on Breakwater.
 Washington. Jan 11.-After meet inc of the house committee on iapol held yesterday Congressman Henry said the committee had inSuueleu i.s clerks to inform those interested Il ne eight hour bill to appear next luesua. and agree on a time for hearings.
 The time for hearings is to be llnlt- ed. as the committee wants 10 pIias tha bill before the house at an early neriod to prevent the delay of last year which kept the senate from taking ac7 tion. ,
 The opposition to the bill Will De represented by Judge ]. k. McCamlnoll of Cramps, l.. E. Payson, of NeWpoft News and H. $. McCow, representing several dry dock concerns.
 The labor men will be present To refrte their arguments if necessary.
 The effect of the bill is to limit q day's work to eight hours on ans government work done by contract.
 Two years ago many representatives of Connecticut manufacturing concerns anpeared before the committee to op- ,laca 4ba demands of the labor element, including Hartford, New Haven ana Waterbury manufactures.
 The bill as finally recommended Dy the committee and which passed the house by large majority was finally satisfactory to all the contendlnS m tereStS.

The committees will spend all day Saturday at the academy and will re turn to Washington on Sunday. The purpose of the investigation is to see what appropriation is needed for new buildings
 AIr SperTy has received number. Of remonstrances from business men in New Haven against changing the name of postofiice station 4 to Fair Haven station. This was the old name of this station. and the department ordered the change some days ago, at the recommendation of Postmaster Howarth. 1t is purely q matter for the department to decide. and they will follow the advice and recom- mendation of the postmaster.
 The shore residents along the sound near the Connecticut river have united in an appeal to have repairs and inn proyements on the breallwater at the mouth of the river. They have re- quested MT Sperry and sNfr Henry to aid them i'll securing. an appropriation for this purpose. It is claimed these repairs are absolutely necessary, and if made now would save the government great deal of money later on The bill for the Connecticut river. which was introduced this session into the house by Mir Sperry, calls for an ap- propriation. The sum of S3O GOO. which is $1O,00O more than the usual appropriation. The sum of 1000 of this is to be used in removing a bar at the mouth of Salmon river, which empties into the Connecticut at East daddam. This appropriation of S3O.- GOO asked for will in all probability be cut down by the river and harbor com mittee to the usual amount of $2OOOO. and it is very doubtful if anything will be done by the committee further than that for the river. The pressure on the committee it too great for any new work of any great extent being started, and the bill to be reported this session. Will probably be very nearly the same as last.
 The postoffice department has just issued an order which provides that commencing the Doth instint. daily. except Sunday, exchange of registered sacks will become operative between Mlddlefield and New ork via the Will Ilmantic and New Haven R.

Scaffolding has been almost completely
removed from the new residence of Mr.
Robert w. Patterson on Dupont Circle
and the building may be seen as it will
be when completed.
The style Of architecture is in general
that of the Italian renaissance. hut it is
treated with much freedom. While there
rs perhaps more ornament than IL Usual
in houses of this style, il is so delicate
and shows so much self-restraint that
1t is only by close study one realizes
the architect has been rather lavish al
this respect.
The blending in color of the materials
is one of the most attractive features.
The prevailing tone, is white. hut is a
shade that is neither glaring nor in
sipid. From the base of the structure.
which is formed by the white marble Of
the first story, to the roof, which is COW
cred with tiling of a light shade OF
green. the color scheme Is harmonious
and pleasing. The cold effect of he white
marble of the first story is modified by
the terra Gotta of n warmer shade OF
white which forms the upper stories.
Plenty of Decoration.
The monotony which might result from
the use of such a mass of similar color
in material as is required in the three
upper stories and in the cornice of the
roof is relieved between the windows of
the second and third stories by panels
formed of white marble, but of the vein
ed variety. The main ornamentation con-
sists of the garland and wreath pattern
device, which forms broad frieze at the
third story. and is also above the win
dows of the second story. band of dec
oraiion of the same style is found about
the windows, and is especially noticeable
about the openings in the center recess Of
the building. which is formed by wings
projecting on each side.
The treatment of this principal feature
of the front is further emphasized by a
porch which extends between the two
wings. the roof Ct which forms an open
balcony at the third stcry. and is sup
ported by marble pillars OF variegated va
riety.
The window openings on this balcony
are enriched by terra Gotta ornamentation
which is rather profuse. The decorative
design which is thus worked out in terra
Gotta is a part of the blocks which form
the walls. The attic story is left plain.
and not. as is sometimes the case, accen-
tuated by ornamentation in order to light
en- the effect of the mass. The rear and
side walls of the building, which are upon
the lawn spaces, are built of brick, of
light shade.

Stock Exchange in Gotham Strong and
Advancing.

NEW YORK, May 3.-"Dun's Review
says two large strikes scheduled for May
i we're averted at least temporarily. and
number of smaller ones were settled,
but many new controversies have begun.
The labor factor is the only serious un-
favorable one in the Industrial situation,
exerting considerable influence over the
to unsettle confidence.
In seasonable merchandise, especially
drygoods and clothing, warmer weather
has stimulated dealings. while outdoor
work is prosecuted vigorously. Collec-
tions are more prompt as a rule, few ex-
tensions being asked. Shipments are less
delayed by traffic congestion, and railway
earnings thus far reported for April ex-
ceed last years by 7.2 per cent. and those
of 1900 by III per cent.
Decrease in Clearing.
A year ago bank exchanges at New
York were distorted by the heaviest spec
ulation in stocks ever recorded, sales be-
ing three times those for this week.
which fully accounts for the decrease of
2l.0 per cen; in clearings. Compared with
1899. there is a gain of 22.2 per cent.
Boston and Philadelphia exchanges were
also affected by the local speculative ex-
ci;ement last year. yet including all the
leading cities outside New York. there ap-
pears decrease of only per cent, COM
pared with the same week in 1901.
Cereal prices have been less inflated by
speculation than they were last week.
yet high level was maintained. and only
slight reactions occurred. The general
tenor Of crop news was much more en-
couraging aside from Kansas dispatches.

although corn and oats have good pros

BRADSTREET'S REPORT.
Agricultural Operations Have Made Prog
gress With Few Minor Executions.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Bradstreet's says:
More seasonable weather throughout
wide areas has helped distribution at re-
tail and improved recorder business with
wholesalers. Exceptions to this are foun
in some portions of the Southwest. where
complaints OF lack Of rain affect crops
and also in portions of the Northwest.
where the reverse is the case, too much
rain interfering alike with spring wheat
planting and distribution of seasonable
goods.
with the exceptions noted agricultural
operations have made good progress, and
weather conditions have been in the main
favorable particularly to the eastern por-
tion of the winter wheat belt, the oat
crop generally, the newly planted spring
wheat sections, and the larger part of
the cotton belt
May Day Unrest.
Exceptional activity continues in all
Industrial lines, and the usual May Day
unrest. most of It manifested in the build
Ing trades. has caused less than ordinary
Interruptions to operations, partly, per-
haps. because of the ready concessions
made by employers.
Activity In building continues fea-
ture of note and all lines of industry con-
tributing thereto. such as lumber, build
ing material, builders hardware, and
structural material, are all in active de-
mand
1T has been a weather market for ce-
reals, good crop advices carly inducing
liquidation, but reports of dry weather in
Kansas and too much rain in parts of the
Northwest added to the strong statistical
position American and Canadian stocks
declining 10000. coo bushels during the
MONTH and large clearances particularly
of Canadian wheat were stimulating fea-
iuros. later raising price levels to the
highest points reached during the week.
Market Strong.
"In spite OF high rates for call money
and sensational breaks in manipulated
,pecialties, the general stock market at
New York has been strong and advancing.

of athletic fields for the children to
play in. A ball field for the boys;
atennis court for the girls; a GYM

modern advantages. With these
the tuition from outside districts

DELAWARE needs better roads,
but to bring this desired end about,
a system must be provided that will
give better results for the money
expended. One plan that should
be fostered and put into operation,
is that of State-control of the work,
in its preliminary stages,at least.
Let a commission of three-one
from each county-be created with
power to employ a road engineer
and to draw their warrant on the
State Treasury for $3o,ooo-ten
thousand for each county, in each
and every year, which shall be ex-
pended in building model road
from one end of the State to the
other. This object lesson if car
ried out, would open up to the peo-
pie who never saw a good road
and have no conception of its adj
vantages, the great value to them
accruing from such roads.
This is only a suggestion fol
State fostering this badly needed
reform in public road building. The
counties must adopt a more thor
ough plan and get better results.
We can see no economy in Ken
county spending $3.50 each yea
for maintenance of roads anC
bridges for an indefinite time; whel
an expenditure of $4,000 eacl
year for a short time would Civ
good roads that would not nee
constant expenditure to keep ther
in order.
1t is not good business for a ma
to pay interest when he can by pay
ing the first cost stop the annu;
expense. No farmer could be il
duced to transact business this wa.
Is there any more reason why II
same business principle should nj
be applied to our country roads ?
