OVER WELCOME TO KING

Dublin, May 1S.-Scenes of extreme
disorder were witnessed at a meeting
of citizens here tonight in the rotun-
d. in support of the Irish parliament

members of the Gaelic League, who
are opposed to giving King Edward a
friendly welcome on his coming visit
to Ireland. Timothy Harrington, Lord
Mayor of Dublin, was in the chair.
While John Redmond was address,
ing the audience Mrs. Mcbride, for
merly Miss Maude Come, advanced to
the platform and interrupted the pro-
ceedings by asking Lord Mayor Har-
rington whether he intended as head
OF the municipality to oppose the pre-
sentation of an address of welcome to
the King. Mr.. Harrington replied in
an evasive way. Mrs. Mcbride insist

GERS More Money.
Pittsburg, May 1S.-The twenty-ninth
biennial convention of the Order of
Railway Conductors will end to-mor-

FROM THE BENCH
A Judge commends Pure Food.

A Judge of a Colorado Court said:
Nearly one year ago began the use
of Grape-Nuts as food. Constant con-
finement indoors and the monotonous
grind Of office duties had so weaken
ed and impaired my mental powers that
felt the imperative need OF something
which neither doctors nor food special-
lists seemed able to supply.
"a weeks use of Grape-Nuts twice
each day convinced me that some I'M
usual and marvellous virture was con-
tanned therein. My mental vigor re-
turned with astonishing rapidly; brain
weariness (from which had constantly
suffered) quickly disappeared clear
ness OF thought an intellectual health
and activity which / had never prev
iously known were to me the plain
results Of a few months use Of this
food.

FIorIda's Voters Will Pass Upon it-S3o, 900 for
Encampment-Salar IeS Raised.

priating 100000 for state encampments
of the National Guard of Florida pass
ed almost unanimously, the only OBJ
lection being from Johnson of Liberty,
who thought $4,000 would be ample
for the years 1903 and 1904
The bill increasing the salaries of
the various cabinet officers from 81, 900
to $4,000 per year was also passed by
an almost unanimous vote. Johnson,
from Liberty. strenuously objected TO
the increase, as he did not believe the
poor, taX-laden working man should be
burdened any further to raise the salar-
les of the rich. He made strong APP
peal but lost out.

CLAIM is PREPOSTEROUS

Says the POstOffice Department of
the Route Agents.
Washington, May 1S.-Second Assist
ant Postmaster General Shallenberger
directed that Svend Schibsby, rail-
way postal clerk at Kansas City, show
cause why he should not be dismissed
for promoting suits against the gov
eminent for travelling expenses of pos
tai employees. There are 5000 railway
postal clerks in the country, and the
purpose is to prevent a widespread
movement having in view the prosecu-
ton of a claim which the department
regards as preposterous.
The position of the Postoffice Depart
ment is that the designated headquar-
tiers of these clerks is the route on
which their runs are made, and not the
city or town where they happen to live.
A case is now pending in the Court of
Claims in this city involving this ques-
ton of their travelling expenses.

supreme Court So Determined for
Southern Railway.
Washington, May 1S.-The United
States Supreme Court today reversed
the opinion of the Supreme Court of
the state of North Carolina, in the
case of the Southern Railway Com
pany VS.. Allison.
The case was a proceeding for dam
ages on account of an accident, but the
point of interest involved was the
question as to whether the railroad
company had secured citizenship in
the state of North Carolina by filing
its charter in that state when IL had
been incorporated in the state of Vir-.
ginfa. The state court had held that
II did become a citizen by that pro-
ceeding.
The opinion to-day took the opposite
view, holding that citizenship was con-
fined to the state in which the charter
was granted The decision was, there
fore, favorable to the railroad COM
pany.

PLANTING SEA ISLAND.
Porto Rico Abandoning the Culture
of Tobacco.

San Juan, P. r.. May 1S.-The
Weather Bureaus crop bulletins an
nounce that all over the island of
Porto Rico sea island cotton is being
planted as rapidly as seed can be OBJ
tanned, and that in many instances the
planters are abandoning tobacco for
cotton. The movement is especially
strong in the well known tobacco dis
tricts of Cayey and Cazuas. All the
cotton tests have proved promising,
while the low prices for ordinary to-
bacco in San Juan are said to be
bringing about the change.
Close observers, including cotton
men from the Southern states of
America, are predicting here that in
a few years the figures of the former

some anxiety in some quarters. The

trend of late as unwarranted. espe-
