SAFETY on THE FERRIES.

Accidents to ferryboats. minor collisions and
other mishaps occur at times in the crowded
East and North rivers and in the Upper Bay:
but there has been no disaster to these craft in
voIving extensive loss of life since the boilers
of the Westfeld exploded more than thirty
years ago.
So far as safety goes, the ferryboats in our
waters are reasonably well managed, although
some of them frequently overcrowded.
Many of these vessels are, however, slow, anti
uuated, old fashioned. clumsy and too small.

THURSTON ON
CHINESE LABOR

WASHINGTON, October 2S-Form-
er Senator Thurston, who has returned
from an extended visit to the Hawaiian
Islands, says prosperous conditions
can never become general in those is
lands until the Chinese exclusion act
is amended so as to permit the entrance
of Chinese.
There is a scarcity of labor which
has caused general financial depression
in the islands," said Mr.. Thhrston.
s@The labor the Hawaiians could get
is excluded from the islands by our
immigration laws. Chinese furnish
the only labor that can, be depended
upon. They are success in the sugar
cane field, but they are now excluded
from Hawaii and the result is that the
sugar plantations are not half cult
waited"
Mr. Thurston thinks that if the
sugar industry is to develop in the
islands Congress will have to pass a
law removing restriction against the
Chinese so far as plantation labor is
concerned but at the same time pro-
hibiting them from doing any other
work which might come into competi-
ton with native workmen

METHODISTS
IN COUNCIL

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Lay and min
isterial representatives are ins attend
ance from the fourteen general confer
ence districts at the annual meeting of
the general committee of the Methodist
Episcopal Board of Church. Extension,
which has begun here, says Tribune
dispatch from Philadelphia. The COM
mittee will remain in session until Sat
urday. All the bishops aye present as
ex-officio members and will serve as
presiding officers in rotation. The re-
port of the corresponding secretary, DR..
j. M. King, shows that since the or
ganization of the society in 1854, it has
aided $4,000 churches, has given away
more than $3,200,0OO for these proper
ties and has a permanent loan fund of
s2.275,000.
One of the. chief items of business to
be considered at this meeting is the
fixing of the amounts that each Meth
odist church in the United States shall
be asked to raise, and also the amounts
that the society shall be authorized to
give and lend within the bounds of each
conference.

YOU WILL NOT

be deceived. That there are cheats
and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what
line of trade it follows. There
can be no permanent success of
any kind based on dishonesty or
deception. There never was, and
never will be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon
come to grief-as they deserve.
Now many persons are, neverthe-
less, afraid to buy certain adver-
tised articles lest they be hum
plugged and deluded; especially
are they slow to place confidence
in published statements of the
merits of medicines. The effec-
tive modern remedy known as
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
is as safe and genuine an article
to purchase as -four, silk or cot
ton goods from the mills Of man
ufacturers with a worldwide re-
putation. We could not afford to
exaggerate its qualities or misre-
present it in the least; and it is
not necessary. 1t is palatable as
honey and contains the nutritiVe
and curative properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by US
from fresh cod livers, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry; and
how valuable such a blending of,
these important medicinal agents
must be is plain to everybody.
1t is beyond price in Weakness
and lack of Nervous Tone, Ane-
mia, Scrofula, La Grippe, Lung
Troubles and Impurities of the
Blood. Science can furnish no.
thing better-perhaps nothing 80
good. DIR. W. Ell. Dale, of Cana
da, says: "I have used it in my
practlce and take pleasure IN re-
commencing it as a valuable ton
ic and reconstructive." It is a
remedy that can afford to appeal
to it's record and represents the
science and knowledge of bright
and aggressive medical investiga-
ton. Effective from the first
dose. Sold by all chemists here.

DIPLOMAS FOR
HOUSE SERVANTS

CHICAGO. November 6-The latest
suggestion for the solution of the SER
want girl problem is embodied in a
plan that has just been adopted at a
meeting of the Chicago Housewives
Association. According to this plan
serving maids may hereafter be oblig-
ed to hold diplomas issued by the AS
ISOLATION in order to secure positions
in the homes of members of the organ
ization. The rules regulating the
granting of the diplomas are to be def
mite. The formal testimonials will be
granted to a maid only after she has
been in one family for year and has
performed her duties with certain
degree of proficiency. Real parchment
will be used and the holders will be
described as satisfactory good" or
remarkably efficient"
Graduate cooks" waiting maids"
and "laundresses" will be classed as
household servants.
