Some Important New Measures Pre-
sax scented in House.

The sunrise session of the House, at
O'Clock, Saturday morning, was not
largely attended, only 16 members
making their appearance. The Speaker
and the clerks were there, however,
and a large amount of routine work
was transacted and some important
new business was presented. Hal
some member raised the question Of
no quorum" the progress of legislation
would have been retarded just "a
hours. But fortunately this was not
lone and the dull routine went on with
)ut interruption.
The House adjourned to meet at $50

morrow afternoon, thus establishing
he point that the House wants its own
way and is not to be interferred with
by the Senate.
The upper branch when it met at
he usual hour, 10 o'clock, Saturday

senator's Manley, Clark, Philbrook and

One of the most important bills pre-
ented in the House, Saturday, was
hat giving the State Board of Health
)oWer to order vaccination in any town

he public health demands it. The bill
s aimed at the lumber camps and the

A commercial traveller tells of man
who was riding on train and pretend
ed to become i'll after eating a sand
wich. The man opened his grip and
took out a hot water bag. "IIe got a
sympathetic porter" the commercial
man continues, ''to fill the water bag
with boiling water and then he opened
up his lunch basket, took out piece of
fried steak and warmed it up on the
water bag. You talk about your light
housekeeping! Then, after he had
warmed the steak, he cut 1t all up with
a pair of scissors and fed it to himself
with pair of sugar tongs, because he
would not take a chance with fork
going around curve. But his finish
was aSlimit. After he had eaten the
steak he unscrewed the stopper of the
water bag and poured himself out a
cup of hot coffee. He had the grounds
in the bag all the time"

LABOR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
A Serious Problem Growing Out of
the Antagonism of Different Races.

A Serious Problem Growing Out of
the Antagonism of Different Races.
The labor problem In South Africa Is
serious one. The working of the
mines to the capacity at least of meet
ing the demands of trade is necessi-
ty. White labor is either scarce or un-
willing to undertake the task. Black
labor Of the Kaffir stripe was plentiful
In numbers, but slothful. Compulsory
drafting of the black man. which would
be the result of Mr.. Chamberlain's pol
icy, was denounced as slavery, and GER
tainly it is much like ii. The natural
laziness of the Kaflir aided the crusade
of the white agitators. with the result
that the mines were short handed and
the output not nearly what it should
have been. Basutoland was suggested
as a country from which black work
ers might be drafted, but again the cry
of slavery was raised, and the mine
owners on the one hand and on the
other the British government hesitated
to get itself too deeply into any race
question under any guise.
This was an embarrassing situation.
There was not enough white labor for
digging, and the Transvaalers were op-
posed to the KafIirs and the Basutos.
against whom they had grudges born
of the war. Under the circumstances
the mine owners have decided to hire
Chinese, and arrangements now are
being made to import many thousands
of Asiatlcs. The people of Pretoria are
up in arms against this. They say they
would accept the Basutos rather than
the Chinese and have formed a strong
political organization, threatening de-
struction to the government If the yell
low labor should be imported. There Is
a disposition in some quarters to be-
lieve that the scarcity of labor at the
mines has been created by conditions
deliberately made by the mine owners,
who seek some excuse for the impor-
tation of a labor that can be controlled
ut all times and over which the Trans
vaal natives will have no influence. If
so, 1t is easy to understand why the
Chinese, who have nothing in common
either with the white men or with the
black tribes of Africa, should have
been selected as the workers least liza
BILE to make troubls and most likely to
confine themselves to their labor. The
Transvaaler is an obstinate man, how
ever, and if the Chinese are brought
in against his protest the question of
their deportation will be an active one
in politics just so long as the Chinese
remain.-New York Press.

Navy and Army Athletics.

The Navy Athletic association, which
has entire charge of athletics at the
Naval academy, Annapolis, has issued
a statement which defines the navy's S
position on the disputed question which
brought about the cessation of athletic
relations between Annapolis and West
Point
The difference of opinion was wheth-
er or not a modified form of eligibility
rules should obtain in future contests.
Annapolis insisted that they should,
The rules as suggested by the navy
did not touch professionalism, but sim
ply declared that no student should be
eligible to play who had represented
any first team of college giving an
A. b. degree for four years, and that
no student should play who had been
ON such first team until he had been
at the academy at least one year.
West Points position on this propo-
sition was that the fact of the large
number of students at Annapolis is
compensated for by the higher age Of
admission at West Point.

The Radical Rank and File.

Disturbances are to be expected in
the labor world TO a greater or less ex-
tent following the campaign of organ
ization that has been carried on in this
city for over year. The number of
strikes, although seeming large, does
not represent over 10 per cent of the
organized workers in this city and
would not cause alarm We're it not for
the nature of the demands made by
some of them. Those who remember
the causes leading up to the lockout of
the building trades in 1900 can see the
same influences at work now and fear
the same results may follow.
The leaders of the unions are often
blamed for the radical demands made;
but as a rule, it is the rank and file
of the organiza ton, which does not I'M
derstand or appreciate the situation,
that is to blame. If a speaker gets up
in a union and advocates so cents an
hour for unskilled laborers he will
have plenty of followers, while the
man who says 20 cents would be more
reasonable gets howled down for
being afraid of the bosses" s."-Chicago

An EARLY Day Railroad Wreck.

In the early days of the road there

shaken up. The next morning burly
farmer limped into the superlntend-
ent's Office and said, "Mr. Superintend-
ent, l came in to see what you were go
ing to give me for shaking me up so
yesterday" The superintendent asked
how much he thought he ought to have
for his injuries. 'Well, think it worth
90 cents, and l will settle for that"
The superintendent replied that it was
quite sum, but as the man seemed
honest he would pay him, and he did
so, taking his receipt in full, The SUI

Cremation has been practiced by most
Of the nations of the earth from the
earliest ages, asld, although In pagan
countries 1t may have taken the form
of fire worshiping there can be no
doubt that its adoption by the ancients
was for the most part prompted by
other than religious reason. Greeks
ascribe its introduction to Hercules,
who, having sworn to transmit the
body of Argus to his father, thought
this the most convenient way of full
filling his promise. According to Ho-
mer, the burning Of the dead was
common practice among the Greeks
long before the Trojan war, but the
earliest record of 1t is among the Scyth-
ians, who inhabited the vast region
known under the name of Tartary
Slender accounts handed down con-
cerning the manners of some of the an
cient natives of Hindustan also allude
to the custom. The idea of publication
by fire was In all ages universal, and
with good reason. Some believed that
the body was unclean after the depar-
ture of the soul. and 1t was therefore
deemed necessary that 1t should be
purified by fire. Ovid expressed the
general opinion of his time when he
said that the soul was not completely
separated from the body until the lat
ter was consumed on the pyre. The
Athenians invariably after battle
burned the slain.

Corns are caused by friction on the
toes, and the most expert bootmaker
cannot make two pairs of shoes which
will rub the feet in the same place.
The change of shoes gives the feet a

HORN OF PEACE.
Great Scheme Evolved to Prevent

you've heard about the horn of

the horn Of peace. Alice and l have
our little differences Of opinion now
| and then-I suppose all young married
people do-and sometimes it is not easy
to effect reconciliation right away,
we are both so high tempered Well,
the other evening we went into deli
catessen shop in our neighborhood to
get something nice for our evening
luncheon. We had just had a lively
little quarrel and had made up. In the
back of the shop little boy and a lit
tie girl, the proprietor's children, We're
having vociferous quarrel over some
toys. She slapped him; he kicked at
her; then she slapped him again; then
he pulled her hair
"Suddenly on this unpleasant scene
appeared third child, a baby boy of
about two years. He Immediately
scrambled into the melee and out again
with tin horn, which he began to
blow nightly He blew so loud that
it drowned out the sound of the quar-
rel. He went up to his brother and
blew the horn in his face; then he
went up to the little sister and blew
the horn in her face. The two wran-
glers stopped quarreling and laughed.
The baby kept on blowing the horn,
the other boy beat drum and the girl
began to pound on toy piano.

started out. At the toyshop on the
way home Alice turned to go in, and

Unless Jimmy Britt will consent to

battle, there is not chance of the two
men ever meeting in the ring.
AL Herford, manager of Cans, had a
talk with Willie Britt, manager of the
Californian, few days ago and in
formed him of the terms under which
he would fight AS the latter is not
willing to fight Cans at 1873 pounds at
8 o'clock, but will do so if Cans weighs
in at the ring side, it looks as if the
match is off for good.
Herford says he intends to take Cans
to England and match him against
Jabez White, the English champion.
