sissippi Not Interfered with.

jackson, Miss, May 29.-Federal
Judge Henry Niles has dissolved the
temporary injunction granted the lum-
Der dealers of Mississippi some days
ago. restraining railroads doing bust
ness in this state from increasing rates
on lumber two cents per hundred.
Judge Niles states that the real ques-
ton presented was whether the fed
eral court, working through its power Of
equity and by it's right of injunction.
can in effect, fix and perpetuate
schedule of freight rates. He did not
think the court has Jurisdiction to
grant the relief sought, and for that
reason sustained the demurrer, dis
solved the injunction and dismissed the
bill.
The effect of the decision is that rail
roads hauling lumber from points in
Mississippi to points out of the state
especially to Ohio river points AMI be-
yond, and west of Buffalo ard Pitts
burg, may increase rates two cents per
hundred pounds.

Epidemic of Pink Eve.

BUFFALO, June 25. - Trachoma, commonly called pink eye. is an epidem- ic in Buffalo. Veterinarians say the number of horses suffering from the malady is unusually large. An Italian has been arrested and the jail physi- clan found he was suffering from the disease. An official of the United States hospital service says that there are more than 100 cases of the disease among the Italian laborers at the steel plant on the lake shore. A physician connected with a local hospital says that he has ten or twelve cases among his clientele, which is in a fashionable district. None of the patients, as far as he knows, have been in contact with the sufferers at the steel plant The exact number of cases cannot be ascer- tained, as the physicians are not re- qufred to report such cases to the health department of the city.

American Rule In PhI1ippines.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Judge E. Finley Johnson, justice of the supreme court of the Philippine Islands, dis cussed with the president the situation in the islands. Judge Smith recently was elevated to the supreme court. During the two years I was on the circuit bench" said he, "I tried 1,5oo cases. The Philippine people, despite occasional outbreaks, are taking kind ly to American methods and to AmNri- can government. think 1t is a safe assertion that threerfourths of the peo- pie would not accept any other form of government even if they had the chance. The greatest monument to American government in the Philip pines is the public school system. When the United States took possession of Philippine affairs in 1898 there was not single common school in the islands outside of Manila. Today there is not a city or town of any size in the islands without it's common school and many pupils. The beneficent results of this system can be appreciated very read ily."

1fnV Be Big Strike of Freigh&men.
 CHICAGO, June 25.-The caHing out of the Chicago and Alton men may cause general strike of all freight handlers employed by railroads center ing in Chicago. According to PFesi- dent Duran of the Freight Handlers
 union, unless the management of the Alton road shall recede from the stand taken 1t will be necessary for him to extend the strike to the other lines to enforce the demands of the union. There is no question of wages in the controversy, as less than month ago all the roads signed new wage scale granting the freight handlers a sub- stantfal increase in wages. President Curran asserts that two men were dis charged because they were prominent in the Freight Handlers union, and he says these two men must be re1nstat- ed. The railroad management declares that the men were discharged for neg lect of duty and cannot be taken back.

PREFERRED A NOSE.

Robert is bright little chap of 3 years. "We are the best of friends, '' said a neighbor, ''and he often runs in to see me. He likes to have me read to him, and he is particularly fond of Gelett Burgess's rhymes. The other day I happened to run across this lit tie verse and took it to his home to read to him:
 '' I'd rather have fingers than toess I'd rather have ears than a nose,
 And as to my hair
 I'm glad it's all there
 I'll be awfully sad when it goes.'
 T read no further than the second Iine-'Td rather have ears than nose when Robert burst out with: I wouldn't. wouldn't rather have ears than a nose' Wondering what possi- ble reason this small critic could have for disagreeing so emphatically with his friend, MT Burgess, ventured to ask: Why is it, Robert, that you wouldn't rather have ears than nose P tCause they're harder to wash.'

Strike ahuta Down paner M,,,..

GLENS FALLS, N. F., June 25.-The fremen employed at the International Paper company's mills at Fort Edward have quit work. This, in addition to the strike of unski1led laborers, com pelled the closing down of the entire plant. The firemen's grievance is that they could not do all the work required of them, as several had been laid off The unskilled laborers say they will not go back unless they receive 26 cents an hour. The continuance of the shut down now seems to rest on the support given the strikers by the skilled men. These have it in their power to break the strike should they consent to work with other than union laborers.

 Which He Is Identified.

..There'u be no loud talking in court.''
 This. reports the Chicago Tribune, is what Joe, the fox terrier aid of Bailiff Derrick, of the Kane county court at Geneva, says to people who disturb the proceedings of that august body. Joe is not ableto talk this order, but he barks 1t in a way that is not to be misunderstood, and of this fact Judge Willis, one of the most popular judges on the circuit, will bear witt ness.
 Recently there was a warm case on trial, and one of the lawyers engaged on one of the sides became excited and pitched his voice to such a high key as to attract the attention of the dog. Usually on such occasions Joe sits be- side his master and keeps order him. self and keeps awatchout for those who

do not. Harvey Jones, of Sycamore, was the speaker on this occasion, and the lawyer is wont to talk up when he has the interest of his client at heart. Joe watched him and listened, too, un- til he thought it was time to interfere, and then he jumped over the rail, ran ID to the lawyer, and practically parked him down. The dignifed jurist on the benchwas convulsed, as was half the courtroom, and after the speech was over Judge Willis patted Joe ap- provingly.
 Joe is the pet of the court and of the town. He is on hand at every trial, watches out for violations of strict de- corun, and sees that no other canine fn Kane county sets foot inside the courthouse. He rides back and forth on street car, and when he happens fo miss connection by second or two the conductor stops and takes him on.

WHEN TO BE BORN.
Precious Stones Are Associated With
 the Signs of Nativity.

s V
 the Signs of Nativity.
 Old saws and superstlt1ons associate precious stones With the signs of na- tivity. According to the old astrolo- gers, the import of the different pre- | cious stones is altered somewhat when they are considered with reference to the planets, and only certain of the vast array of stones have potent in- fuences. Thus classified, May, June | and December are the months most | lucky to be born in-lucky, that is, so far as the material benefits are consid- cred. But other months augur good character influences, and no month of the twelve but offers some inducement to the mortal born within it's orbit, Even October, with whose governing influences the opal is interwoven, en- dows her children with hope and strong optimistic leanings.
 Birthday stones are fashionable just now. January's child has the garnet for birth stone. With it go the at tributes of integrity, generosity and the power to attract many friends. February's nestlings must wear anne thysts. The birth augury is a mild, pacific disposition, refined tastes and smooth, uneventful course through life. The bloodstone is identified with the career of the person born in March. It signifies wisdom, courage, seIf-con- trol-all the dominating qualities
 Apr1Ps child has for birth stone the diamond, typical of innocence and hlgh-m1ndedness. The emerald has to do with the child born in May It is most favorable natal stone, signify ing a future abounding in love and happiness. June has the agate as key stone to long life, wealth and felicity, with. no modifying auguries to cloud the horoscope. July has for guiding star the ruby, imparting good temper, calmness, patience-the temperament l that is content with a small share of life's vanities. August is coupled with the sardonyx and implies for that per son born within it's sphere strong love of family and many of the domestic virtues. Pride is indicated but not ar srogance. The sapphire, for September, fnsures it's bafrn fine sense of justice and a. phiIosophic temperament.
 l October has the opal for a birth stone. It's wards are born optimists, lOOhIIS ever OH tue DElSnC SlQo and comfortable companions to live with It is believed that most of the indomi- table enthusiasts and visionaries come ! into the world in October. The child born in November is by nature loyal
 The topaz is his ruling influence, sig nifying warm-heartedness and prone. ness to put sentiment before business December has the turquoise for a tai. isman. Children born within these th1rty-one days are endowed with abil ity for getting on in the world Sue. cess is their manifest destiny not to be avoided. The old treatises on birth stones and their meaning are set forth in the involved, old d-fashioned language that has gathered ceremony as it has changed tongues in many translations London Tit-Bits.
