RAILWAY MEN spRucED UP.
Tgainmen Must Always Appear as Dapper ns StroIlers on the
 Boulevard.

One railroad company with offices in Chicago has long made the study of etiquette one of the duties of it's nor use slang, nor be peevish, nor dis courteous, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 The Erie Railroad company now comes along with still, newer idea. The trainmen must always appear as dapper as stroller on the boulevard. They must keep their shoes well shined. Their clothes must fit them faultlessly, and, most of all, there must be creases in the trousers of every uniformed emp1oye of the road
 Down in Indiana, at division point, three of four tailors are kept busy pressing uniforms. Both in Chicago and at the other end of the run bootblacks are employed to keep clean the ''boots" of the employees.
 The idea of making a dapper-look- ing company out of the employees is new to Chicago, although the idea has been tried in the east for several weeks. At Jersey City six tailors are constantly employed and the boot blacks are kept busy.
 Each employe Is given two tickets one of which passes current with the tailor, while the other is as good as dime with the bootblacks. Each employe is told to use the tickets freely, to look we'll all times, and not to be bashful about asking for new tickets when the old ones are gone.

 WASHINGTON June 20. - Regard less of the fact that Attorney General Knox hast issued the opinion that no state court has right to libel a gov ernment vessel a handful of consta bles has taken possession of the, United States cruiser Chattanooga In the yards of the Crescent Shipbuilding company at Elizabethport, N. J., and is holding her for debt
 Whether or not the government will be compelled to recover.its property by force of arms is question that is agt- tating officials at Washington and caus- Ing intense interest in and around the ahipyards where the great wG- ship lies.
 Three constabIes from Sheriff B. Frank CorfeIPs office are pacing the any persons except those employed about the yards to go near her.
 The writ on which the seizure was made was issued by Supreme Court Commissioner John A. Miller on the application of the Babcock & Wilcox company, boiler makers New York. This concern furnished the contractors eight boilers, but only S4o,oo0 of the e60,OO0 due has been paid, and they de- cided to seize the vessel in order to protect themselves.
 The action of the New Jersey commis- siOner has caused increased uneasiness in Washington over the general ques- ton of the conflict between state and federal rights as related to government ships. The Chattanooga is the fouTth vessel to be seized under almost iden- dcaI circumstances within few days.
 At cabinet meeting Attorney Gen. eral Knox read his opinion of the con- troyersy, holding that the government Is warranted in seizing any one of the war ships or other craft thus taken pos session of by ection of state courts.
 This opinion was readily accepted by President Roosevelt, and he advised that it be placed before the judicial au- thorities in Richmond and the other points where there was trouble over possession of the ships. He expressed the opinion that the government could regain possession of the vessel without any show of force

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment . will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of. the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for alllitch- ing diseases of the skin.

 GENEVA, June 20. = King Peter when interviewed on the subject of the Russian, note calling for the punish ment of the m4urderers of King Alex nnder and Queen Draga said that it concerned an internal matter and it should not be forgotten that the skupshtina had sanctioned the deed committed by the army.
 All the members of the Servian dep utation protest that 1t is impossible to accede to the Russian demands de- claring that any attempt to punish the, guilty officers would plunge Serv1a into new troubles. One of the members, M. Savic, the editor of the leading servian paper, frankly confessed that he knew of the plot long time previ- ous. It was twice resolved to shoot the royal couple in church before be- ing finally decided to murder them in the konak. Mme. Petrowitch, the late Queen Draga's sister, asserts that the royal couple never intended to make the queens brother heir to the serv1an throne.

"It has been said of the last century that it was the age of invention. Ma chinery has been devised and con- structed with which very many of the articles used by mankind were manu- factured. Numerous factories had been established throughout the coun- try filled with machines, many of which were easily operated, and the practice of employing boys and girls in their operation had become exten- sive, with the result that injuries to them were of frequent occurrence. We think it is very evident that these req sons induced the legislature to estab- fish definitely an age limit under which children shall not be employed in factories, and, to our minds, the statute, in effect, declares that child under the age specified presumably does Tot possess the Judgment, discre- tion, care and caution necessary for the engagement in such a dangerous avocation, and is, therefore, not, as a matter of law, chargeable with con- tributory negligence or with having assumed the risks of the employment in such occupation

LABOR BUREAU.
Members of Unions Await Reorganiza-
 ton With Interest.


 ton With Interest.
 The labor organizations of Connec- tlcut are looking forward with interest to the administration of William H. Scoville of Haddam, the newly ap- pointed commissioner of labor for the state, who takes office July 1, says the Hartford Globe. Harry E. Back, the retiring commissioner, has proven a satisfactory incumbent of the office on the whole and much good has been ac- complished by him and his subordin ates.
 Tt is not believed that MT ScoyiIIe Will make any radical changes in the work of the bureau, and as he is re- puted to be an energetic sort of a, man the labor organizations of the state look to see considerable accomplished, An addition of several employment bureaus provided by the recent Iegis- .aatt1re, to be conducted in connection with those already established as branches of the same, will increase the labors of the bureau somewhat and will, at the same time, be of no small benefit to the state. They will in crease the scope of that portion of the labor bureaus work and enlarge the good work already accomplished by the original employment bureau.
 Commissioner Back would probably have been re-appodnted had it not been for his activity on the bills before the legislature relating to the incorporat- ing of the town of South Norwalk His work in the lobby for the corporation, recognized to be against the views held by Governor Chamberlain, at tracted considerable attention, and it was prophesfed that # would interfere with his appointment. Then when Commissioner Back hustled for over riding the governors veto it was felt that that surely would settle his po- litical hash, and it did.

CLEVELAND IS As7oNtsHED.

Substance of Interview With Bailey
 Grossly Inaccurate.
 PRINCETON, N. J., June 2O.-G Grover Cleveland on being shown the alleged interview reported by MT. Bailey of the Galveston News made the following statement:
 T ana very much astonished to see such an outcome from a visit made to me by one who only gained friendly &C., cess to me by reason of his being rep resentative of a paper formerly con- ducGed and owned by my deceased friend Colonel Belo and now conducted by his son. tu
 'EL don't know whether MT. Bailey 1n- tended it or not but he has given a very erroneous Impression of what oc- cured between us.
 ''If I had dreamed that he would at- tempt to construct an important inter- view dealing with important subjects out of what was said on the occasion of his visit would certainly have i'm sisted, according to my habit, upon it's being then and there reduced to writ ing and submitted to me. Instead of gaining the least intimat1on of such an intention on his part his first words were that he knew an ex-president was not a person to be interviewed, and. he left me without the least hint that I had been interviewed for publication.
 "Ail care to add is that the sub- stance Of the interview as published is in some respects grossly inaccurate. There are statements in 1t attributed to me that I certainly would not have made to a person no nearer to me and no more in my confidence than Mir. Bailey" a.sr.
 The alleged interview to which MT. Cleveland objects credited him with saying that 1t was absurd to suppose for an instant that he had any desire to re-enter public life or to have even remotely entertained the thought since he left Washington six years ago. The article further said that the ex-presi- dent deprecated what his friends had done toward advancing the so called Cleveland movement and quoted him as saying that he had never spoken to anybody on the subject of a fourth candidacy, had never written to a po- litical friend one way or another nor been written to or spoken to by them.

Officials of the company assert that cars will be running on full schedule on all lines within two days. A conference be- tween representatives of the labor council and Manager Huff of the rail- way company was without result.

 MT. Patrick Nolan, of Mo- Ic3 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn, says: gro any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, I can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for a long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of'the many preparations and ointrnents I used did me any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market. ;
 Just such emphatic endorse- ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into-Lake's drug store and ask what his customers report.
