NJ 'GOHAS IN FAVOR
OF EIGHT-HOUR BILL
If Passed MCCammon VIII
Test It's Legality.

There were two positive declarations
made yesterday before the Senate Com
mittee on Labor, which is considering
che eisht-hour bin.
Senator McComas OF Maryland. the
chairman. announced that he was in full
sympathy with the bill, and would sup
port il as a meritorious measure. unless
IL could be proven TO him that il would
work injury 70 the people it sought TO
benefit EX-Judge Joseph K. Mccain
mon. ropresenting large shipping and
manufacturing interests. said positive
ly. that if the act was placed on the
statute books Of the United States it's
constitutionality would be tested in the
courts.
Senator NcComas was nettlcd by the
statement. and he and Judge Mccain
mon discussed the matter at length. un-
til Senator Clapp Of Minnesota request
ed them 10 reserve their opinions until
the final arguments were made. The
interest Of the proceedings was center
ed in an analytical discussion Of that
clause in the bill which exempts from
the provisions Of the act such ma
terlals as may usually be bought in
open market. whether made to conform
TO particular specifications or not" Sen
ator McComas holding that the excep-
tion was very broad. and covered many
things, which, the contractors argued
came under the bill.
Senator Proctor OF Vermont was prom
incnt in the debate. and persisten;ly
inter-ogatcd Senator NcComas as to his
Interpretation Of the language as fran
ed in the bill. It appears that the lum-
ber and quarry interests Of Vermont
have been aroused at the prospect Of
the bill passing. which. they consider,
would work them material injury. 1t
was Senator P-octor's opinion that the
bill applied to structural stone. iron
and steel used in Government contracts.

Committee May Act.

At that time an effort will be made
TO get a favorable report upon the Hep
burn bill. as preliminary TO anything
the committee may decide upon later
in regard TO antitrust legislation. He
contends that this will not interfere
with the work of the subcommittee.
which has the antitrust bills under
consideration, but that the passage Of
the Hepburn bill would enable the De-
partment Of Justice to enforce the Sher-
man act and determine whether or not
IL is a sufficient remedy for the trusts.
After Mr. Littlefeld.
Many members Of the committee in
dorse the proposition Of the chairman
Of The Judiciary Committee. There is.
however. this fact in the new move
ment contemplated. It viii TO a certain
extent take the wind out OF Mr.. Little
fields sails. Mr. LitucdeId has hereto
fore taken the initiative in antitrust
legislation and has sought to identify
his name with the measure reported.
Mr. jenkins, on the other hand. con
tends that there are no trusts. and that
an attempt 10 enforce the provisions Of
the Sherman act against something
which does not exist viii demonstrate
the strength OF his position that anti
trust agitation IS a waste OF energy.

Great Reach of Roots.

1t has been remarked as q serious fact
of science that a person cannot feel
pain in two different places at the same
time. To be sure, there are people who
maintain that the place sometimes COW
ers the entire body, but that does not
interfere with the general theory.
A certain dentist, whose name and adj
dress are not given, is a stanch adher-
ent of this theory, and has once or
twice sought to demonstrate the truth
of II by jabblng his patients in the arm
or leg with heavy needle just as he
extracts the offending tooth. One day
he got hold Of particularly stubborn
tooth, which gave him no end of trou-
BILE.
Here It comes at lastw he exclaimed
as he felt it yielding, and at the same
time he plunged his needle into the pa
tents leg.
"There," he said, triumphantly, as he
held up the forceps, with the tooth Sc
curely wedged, we've got it, you see!?
"Yes, | see," replied the victim, rue
fully ~ knew 1t was big one, and |
was afraid it would come hard, but
never supposed the roots went so far
down as this" and he rubbed the spot
on his leg where the doctor had jabbed
him with look that was partly awe
and partly pride.

Saved by Poverty.

How little things may change the
whole course of a life is cited in the
story told of the late Slgnor Crispl.
who was twice prime minister of Italy,
and was one of the most distinguished
statesmen of his day.
In 1858, while he was a refugee in
Paris, he received two tickets for a
performance of Italian OPERA at which
the Emperor and Empress were to be
present Just as they were beginning
preparations for the evenings enter
tainment his wife said
Francesca, how about the candle?"
They had exhausted their supply of
candles and were so poor that they
could not buy another. So, instead Of
going to the opera, they went to bed.
AS 1t happened, this was the very
night that Orsni made his attempt on
the life of Louis Napoleon, which was
followed by the wholesale arrest of all
the Italians in the neighborhood Girls
pi was one of the most devoted adher
ents of the revolutionst, MaZzini and
his own arrest would have been sure
to result If he had not been at home
when the attempt at assassination was
made.
The incident of the candle, therefore,
must have had a direct bearing on the
life of Crispi, and in all probability
averted a misfortune which would have
ended his career even before it was
begun.

CHAPTER XIII.

Great was the excitement in Rice Cor
ner when it was known that on the even
ing of the 10th of September grand
wedding would take place in the house
of Mrs. Mason. Mary was to be married
to the "richest man in Boston," so the
story ran, and, what was better yet,
many of the neighbors were to be invit-
ed. Almost every day, whether pleasant
or not, Jenny Lincoln came over to dis
cuss the matter, and to ask If it were not
time to send for William, who was to
be one of the groomsmen, while she, to-
gether with Ida, were to officiate as
bridesmaids. In this last capacity Ella
had been requested to act, but the tears
came quickly to her large mournful eyes,
and turning away, she wondered how
Mary could thus mock her grief!
From one fashionable Watering place
to another Mrs. Campbell had taken her,
and finding that nothing there had power
to rouse her dropping energies, she had,
toward the close of the summer, brought
her back to Chicopee, hoping that old
scenes and familiar faces would effect
what novelty and excitement had failed
TO do. All unworthy as Henry Lincoln
had been his sad death had cast dark
shadow across elias pathway. Hour
after hour would she sit, gazing upon
the locks OF shining hair, which over land
and sea had come to her In letter from
her father, who told her of the closing
scene. when Henry called for her to cool
the heat Of his fevered brow. Every
word and look of tenderness was treas
ured up, and the belief fondly cherished
that he had always loved her thus, else
why in the last fearful struggle was she
alone remembered of all the dear ones in
his distant home?
The bridal day was bright, beautiful
and balmy, rs tho first days of Septem-
bor often are and when the sun went
down the full silvery moon came softly
M. as IL to shower her blessings upon
the pnptials about to be celebrated. Many
and brilliant lights were flashing from
the windows Of Mrs. Mason's cottage.
And now guest after guest fitted down
the narrow staircase and entered the par
lor. which, with the bedroom adjoining,
was soon filed. Ere long Mr.. Seldom
who seemed to be master of ceremonies,
appeared. Immediately the crowd fell
bnck, leaving vacant space In front of
the mirror The busy hum OF voices died
away, and only few suppressed whis-
nors Of. "There,-Look See my"
were heard, as the bridal party took their
places. -.
Among the first to congratulate Mrs.
Moreland" was Sally Furbush, followed
by Mrs. Perkins who whispered to
George that 'she kinder had a notion
how 'twould end when she first saw him
In the school house; but I'm glad you've
got him." turning to Mary, for 1t must
be easier livin' in the city than keepin'
school You'll have hired girl, s'pose"
When supper was announced the widow
made herself very useful in waiting upon
the table and asking some of the Boston
ladies' 1T they'd be helped to anything In
them dishcs,' pointing to the hnger
glasses, which now for the first time ap-
peared in Rice Corner. The half-sup-
