STREET CAR STRIKE
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Only Two Lines in Operation in the
City-No Attempt Made to
Carry Passengers.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
San Francisco, April 20.-The street
railway strike became effective today.
Only two lines were in operation. Busi-
ness on every line of the United rail-
road was suspended. During the day a
few cars. under police supervision, were
run over the different lines of the sys-
tenn, to comply with the franchise re-
quirements, but no attempt was made
to carry passengers. The day passed
very quietly. There We're no disturb
ances around the various car barns.
Both sides to the controversy held sep
arate conferences during the day, the
results of which have not vet been
made public. During the day there
We're various rumors that the officials
of the system We're willing to settle on
the basis of a ten-hour day and twenty
four cents an hour, but held on the
question of unionism. The rumors We're
denied as fast as they were circulated.
1t was evident, however, that the rail-
way officers We're surprised at the
strength developed by the strikers, who
claim to have about 5000 men enrolled.
The company has not yet announced
it's plan for breaking the strike, but it
is generally anticipated that they will
make an attempt tomorrow to run with
the mail cars as bumpers.
The strike leaders assert that there
will be no attempt to interfere with the
mail cars. Mayor Schmitz has entered
into negotiations with the opposing
sides to bring about an adjustment

Stockton's death was paralysis, imme-
diately resulting from heinorrhage In

duet, held Wednesday night. of the
National Academy OF Sciences, when
he was taken suddenly and myster-
iously III. The ailment did not at that
time appear to be serious, and for II
while the sufferer seemed to be im-
proving but a change for the worse
came this morning and death occurred
at II o'clock. BY his bedside when the
end came were his wife, who was Miss
'ruttlc of Virginia. and her sister He
was 6S years of age. The body will be
taken to Philadelphia for intermcnt.
No further funeral arrangements have
been made as yet.
Mr. Stockton had spent the past VIM
ter In New York. and had done very
little literary work preferring to rest.
After a visit of nearly n month to At
lantic city. he came TO Washington, so
that he might attend the banquet of
the scientists, intending then to go to
his beautiful home in Charlestown, w.
Va.
Mr.. Sto ktOn was a Philadelphia by
birth; in early life he was an engraver
and draughtsman, but soon abandoned
this occupation for journalism. Many
years ago, however. he retired wholly
from newspaper work and devoted
himself to literature. His reputation
as Il story writer was world wide.

Saturday, to II year In the county jail
for passing worthless checks on three
Scranton merchants. The checks were
for SIS ench and made payable to the
order of James Brandt by NJ. j. kish-
paugh. Brandt's name appeared in en-
dorsement of each e heck. and Mrs.
Kishpaugh represented herself to be
Mrs. Brandt. NJ. j. Kishpaugh is the
name of her husband. and he was in
dicted with her for the crime. The

ris plead guilty early in the week and

made it appear.

EVERYBODY CAN SAVE.
And 1t Isn't Necessary to Save MIL
lions, Either.

From Andrew Carnesie's "rhc Empire OF Bus
ness"
AS a rule, you will find that the saw
ing man Is II temperate man, u good
husband and father, "A peaceful, law
abiding citizen. Nor need the saving be
great. 1t Is surprising how little It
takes to provide for the real necessities
of life. A little home paid for and a
few hundred pounds-a very few--make
all the difference. These are more
easily acquired by frugal people than
you might suppose. Great wealth Is
quite another and II far less desirable
matter. 1t is not the aim of thrift, nor
the duty of men To acquire millions. 1t
Is in no respect a virtue TO set this be-
fore US as an end. Duty to save ends
when just money enough has been put
aside to provide comfortably for those
dependent upon us. Hoarding millions
Is avarice, not thrift.
OF course, under our industrial condi-
tions, it is inevitable that a few, a very
few men, will find money coming to
them far beyond their wants. The ac-
emulation of millions is usually the
result of enterprise and judgment, and
some exceptional ability for organiza-
tion. 1t does not come from savings in
the ordinary sense of that word. Men
who in old age strive only to increase
their already great boards, are usually
slaves of the habit of boarding formed

Mrs. Worden Wants Divorce.

and they cannot help themselves. SO
overpowering is the force OF habit eth
er for good or evil. 1t is the abuse Of
the civilized saving instinct and not
its use, that produces this class of men.
No one need be afraid Of falling vic
time to this abuse of the habit IL he
always bears in mind that whatever
surplus wealth may come TO him Is to
be regarded as a sacred trust. which
he is bound to administer for the good
OF his fellows. The man should always
be master. He should keep money in
the position Of a useful servant. He
must never let it master and make a
miser of him.

PROGRAMME OF The
WEEK IN CONGRESS
Work in Prospect Before the Senate
and House-Philippine Bill
and Other Measures.
BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, April 2O.-The early part
of the coming week in the house of
representatives will be devoted to rou-
tine business, with a prospect that
some important general legislation may
he taken up during the latter part of
the week. Tomorrow will be devoted
to District of Columbia business, Tues
dOy to war claims and Wednesday to
the oleomargarine bill. which was
amended by the senate During the re-
naming days of the week, it is prac-
tically settled that the anti-anarchy
bill of Chairman Ray, of the judiciary
committee, will be considered. The
measure is much more stringent than
the anarchist bill passed by the senate.
Plans also are on foot for considering
the omnibus public building bill dur
ing the latter days of the week. This
measure has not yet been reported
from the house committee on public
buildings and grounds. but it probably
will be completed early next week, so
that it can be taken up later In the
week. Beyond this, no exact pro-
gramme has been arranged. Two ap-
preparation bills, the agricultural and
naval bills. are about ready and may
be brought in at any time, and the
military academy appropriation bill is
on the calendar.
The senate will begin the week by
taking up the river and harbor appro-
priation bill tomorrow, and when that
measure is disposed of will resume
consideration of the Philippine govern
ment bill. 1t is not expected that much
time will be required to get the river
and harbor bill through the senate, as
1t is generally approved by senators.
Senator Frye, chairman of the commits
tee on commerce, who has charge of
the bill. today expressed the opinion
that there would be no debate on the
bill and that it would pass as soon as
it could be read. 1t is now understood
that Senator Rawlins. senior Demo-
cratic member of the senate committee
on the Philippines, shall lead off in the
speechmaking in opposition to the
Philippine bill. to be followed by other
members of the committee and other
Democratic senator's. The opinion is
expressed that the bill will be before
the senate for at least three weeks.

POOR SPELLING.
A Careful Estimate Shows Our Lam
guage May Be Reformed in s3,333
Years


From the Chicago Recori.Ilclald.
1t is reported that only twenty out of
sixty students in an English class ut
Northwestern University We're able tn
pass simple examination in spelling,
though they have actually been thumb
ing the spelling book for the last two
months. There is just II gleam of en-
couragement in this evidence that spell
ing books are still printed, but the
students labor under the same disad.
vantages as the statesman who imag-
ined that he had solved all the knotty
problems of finance after two months
study. They did not begin early
enough in life, and the period of their
application to the book was too short
for any time of life.
The study should begin with the first
lessons at school, and the proper princi-
pies of instruction We're never better il
lustrated than in the old Webster spell
ing book Words should be learned in
groups in which there is II similarity
of sound and spelling, and fastened in
the memory by many repettlons. This
Is the way to fix them for life. and
though 1t is not tiowery way with al
Turing prospects of knowledge gained
without effort, it provides an excellent
drill, which counts for something be-
sides the spelling.

much neglected now, pity also that

ized that they spelled thorough

because thero does not sound like thor.
