THE EIGHT HOUR LAW
IN NEW YORK

In NEW YORK.
BY unanimous decision the New
York state court of appeals has de-
clared unconstitutional a law which
made it a misdemesnor for any person
or corporationn, contracting with the
state or with a municipal corporation,
TO require more than eight hours
work for a days labor. The opinion
holds that the law is not q proper ex-
ercise Of the police power of the state,
but unduly discriminates between
different classes of contractors and be.
tween the same contractor working
for the state and for private party or
for itself. 1t is conceded that the
state has a right to protect women and
children or adults from unwholeso me
or dangerous occupations.
. what possible bearing, has the fact
that the employer is executing con-
tract for the construction of state or
municipal work? 1t might be con-
structing in the next town a road for
n turnpike company or for itself. In
the one case there would be no limit
Of the hours, and the corporation could
get men 20 work without such limit,
but in the case of state or municipal
work it is made criminal offense,
despite the fact that the work and the
hours might be precisely similar. 4"
The law declared unconstitutional
was the result of sympathetic agita-
tion in New York state to secure the
general adoption of an eight hour law.
Anticipating the above decision the
rade unions of New York have secured
the passage of law submitting the
above question to the people in the
form OF an amendment to the state
constitution. This amendment Will
be voted on in 1905. The people will
then decide whether eight hours shall
be days work in all state, county
and city contracts.

II is hard for an outsider to under
stand all the moves that ara now be-

Kentucky. Immediately after the elm

court of appeals that would have got

serve another term, should he be elect
ed. II Beckham was ineligible week
ago today he is so now, and every hon

tion decided. 1t appears now that the
question was raised for political pur
poses only, and now that there is nc
opposition to tine governor for the re
nomination, the politicians are al
willing to leave the matter to the mex
legislature to decide, which they trus
will be safely Democratic.

In our locality it is seldom found neces-

they must be fed it should be done in the
early autumn. When cool, changeable
weather comes it is better not TO disturb
them. Exposing bees and their combs In
cool weather causes them TO I'LL them
selves with honey when a low tempera-
ture prevents them taking a cleaning

cause diarrheal troubles. old bee-keepers

moodiness OF his thoughts for the time be-
ing. and the impulse TO suicide had been
overcome. He added that he was happy 10
say that the troubles which had threatened
to overwhelm him then had left him. In
that case the kings cigar saved not himself
but the other man.
Then there is the story of how Signor
Mario. the famous tenor, saved his life
with cigar. The singer had just started
on a long railroad journey when the man
with whom he was locked In the compart-
ment drew a Notwithstanding knife and
announced that he intended to cut his
throat. The singer recognized that he had
to deal with a crazy man, and he saw that
GOODNESS alone could save him, ii was
highly probable that struggle would end
in the maniac accomplishing his purpose.
Before you begin, wouldn't you like to
smoke good cigar?" he asked OF his muir
derouS companion.
THAT wouldn't be a bad idea" said the
man, laying aside his knife. My nerves
will be steadier.''
in his case. and when the crazy man had
smoked it he offered him another big one.
The man continued smoking the singer
cigars. and luckily for the Italian he had
a good supply. The man was still smok-
ing when the train stopped at the next sta
ton and Mario managed to hand him over
to the police
A plot against the life of Mazzini, the
Italian patriot, once failed because of his
courtesy with a box of cigars. 1t came TO
his knowledge that an attempt was to be
finest cigars and waited for his would-be
assassins to call on him. When they came
in he handed out the cigars. Taken aback
by this vancouver, they took them and be-
gan to smoke. They did not find ii easy TO
kill man who had just handed them good
cigars and they sat about awkwardly until
MaZZni said:
Gentlemen, take another cigar. l be-
lieve you came to kill me? Why do you
! not proceed TO business?
The assassins uttered some words OF
lame regret and left.
Two more instances are given to show
where men saved themselves from embar-
When Bismarck was entering Paris with
the German army he noticed that some
French workmen were gathered at the gate,
evidently prepared to make hostile DEM

toward them and, pulling out cigar, asked
their~leade for a match. The man handed
him one, and the attitude of the Frenchman
changed completely as the German leader
thanked the workmen courteousy. Edwin
Booth once thus disarmed small mob OF
men who had been hired to make DEM
