Picketing Declared Illegal.

San Francisco. Aug. 7.-Superioi
Judge Hunt yesterday decided against
the legality of picketing and boycott
ting by labor unions. The decision
was rendered in the case Of f. G
Pierce against the local stablemen's
union and others. The union. the
Judge said. called out its men EN-
ployed in the defendants stables and
picketed his place of business because
he refused to discharge a non-union
man and substitute union man in his
stead, at the demand of a walking
delegate of the union.
The action was brought to obtain a
permanent Injunction against the de
PENDANTS to restrain them from con
tinuing the boycott. Upon filing the
complaint restraining order was is
sued enjoinin= defendants from inter
fering with plaintiffs business, from
picketing his premises and from mo
testing or intimidating any of his
workmen or patrons. The cause was
tried and submitted and the judge has
now made the Injunction permanent IL
accordance with the previous restrain
ing order.

Municipal Street Cars.

The report of the tramways commit
tee of the Nottingham (Eng) Council
shows that during the year ending
March 31st last the roads earned net
profit of ten per cent. amounting to
$65 ,o00.) This will be applied to q re-
duction of city taxes. The electric
street car service having now been OPP
Grated by the city for over three years
with a handsome profit each year, and
with satisfaction to the people using 1t.
Consul Mahin pronounces the under
taking success.
A rare feature of this city operation
of surface cars is the diminished acci-
dent list. During the year the total
number of miles travelled by the cars
was 2,5l2 900. Yet in all this great dis
tance travelled, largely through busy
thoroughfares, of which some are very
narrow, not one person was killed lsy
being run over. knocked down or col
lided with. OF forty-six pedestrians
who were knocked down by or fell in
front of car, all were either thrown
clear of the car or picked up on the
life-guard without suffering serious In
jury. Twenty collisions occurred be-
tween cars and cyclists, while three
cyclists fell from their machines imme-
diately in front of moving cars and
were picked up on the life-guards un-
hurt.
One death and injuries very
trifiing-to 367 persons resulted from
attempts to board or leave moving cars.

Mr.. X. +. Henley of this city adds his
evidence to that published almost
daily that sure cure for Rheuma-
tism is now before the American peo-
pie and that that cure is Dodd's Kid

After suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numer-
GUS medicines for Rheumatism and
more medicines prescribed by doc
tors, at last tried Dodd's Kidney
Pills with the result that | got more
bentfit from them than all the others

IMPROVING MANILA.
New Water Works System, Parks and
Sewerage.

SS"S'o oSS'
Washington, Aug. 6.-Under the di-
rection of this government more than
six million dollars is to be expended in
improving and beautifying the city of
Manila.
Final arrangements for the expendi-
ture of this amount have just been con
cluded between Mai. ]. F. Case, engi-
neer for the city of Manila, who has
been in Washington in consultation
with Mr.. Taft, the secretary of war,
and Clarence Edwards, chief of the
bureau of insular affairs.
Work will begin Immediately on a
water works system to cost $4,0OO.OOO
and a sewer system to cost $2,000.0O0.
Mai. Cases plans for the water
works and sewer system for Manila
have been approved by DesmOn FitZ-
gerald, the great authority on munich
pal engineering. who recently returned
from a trip to the Philippines.
Congress has made it possible for
the Philippine government 10 issue suf-
ficient bonds to construct the water
and sewer systems and work will be-
gin Immediately. The bonds will prob
ably not be issued before January list.
Mr.. Burnham. the Chicago landscape
expert and architect. will go to
Manila in short time to inspect the
city and will report plans for the beau
tication of the city, which is to be ac-
complished at a cost Of $3,000.000 or
more. The esteros or open ways, are
to be Strengthened and freed of all
sewerage, and parks are to be laid out,
The walled city is to be preserved
and put in first-class sanitary condi-
tion.
Failure of American iron manufac-
turers to take any interest in work in
the Philippines is great surprise to
Mai. Case, who has been authorized by
Secretary Taft to visit the American
steel manufacturers and lay before
them the advantages of trade in the
Orient. German companies are getting
all the steel contracts in the islands.
The Ayala bridge, giant structure
over the Pasig river, is to be built by
German contractors.
