A chorus of female voices will

their meetings will be in the day
time. Their work will be en-

Union, as they will study music

woman, young and old, take an

Color of Whisky and Its Ace.

London World: A query about
Scotch whisky is, does color indicate
age? Theoretically it should; actually
it does not. Whisky is stored in cherry
casks to mature and takes color from
the wood. Sherry, however, covers a
wide range OF shades, and a spirit
stored in a cask which had
held a pale variety would obviously
not be colored to the same extent as a
spirit stored for a like time in a cask
that had previously held a dark brown
wine, though as regards maturing both
would be equally improved. The gen.
eral public, however, could never be
made to understand that two bottles Of
whisky differing in color were abso-
lutely identical in every essential
point, and therefore most brands main
ain a standard of color by means of a
harmless coloring ingredient, namely,
burned sugar.

Railway Rate LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention of the Or.
der of Railway Conductors, recently
held at Portland, Ore, resolutions were
unanimously adopted voicing their sen.
tlments as to the effect of proposed
railway rate legislation on the 1900
600 railroad employees, whom they In
past represented. These resolutions
'indorse the attitude of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates
and other illegalities, and commend the
attitude Of the heads Of American rail
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have Joined with the President on this
question" They then respectfully
point out to Congress the 'inadvisabili.
ty Of legislation vesting in the hands
Of a commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country" be-
cause such regulation would result in
litigation and confusion and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates,
irrespective of the question of the abil-
ity Of the railroads to stand the reduc-
ton, especially in view of the increased
cost of their supplies and materials"
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter
state Commission because "the pro-
posed legislation is not in harmony
with our idea Of American jurispru-
dence, inasmuch as it contemplates
that a single body shall have the right
to investigate, indict, try, condemn and
then enforce its decisions at the cost
Of the carriers, pending appeal, which
is manifestly inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, if any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned on the ground that
the low cost of transportation lis the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and de-
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value OF lntelllSence among ell
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain
In pressing their claim against legfs-
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that "the freight
rates Of this country average Only Z
per cent Of the cost Of articles to the
| thus making the freight rate
50 insignificant a factor in the selling
price that numerous standard articles
are sold at the same price in all parts

To Keep Rid Of Moths.

This is a season of the year when
provident housewives have all the
closets thoroughly renovated, as it is
the month in which the moths do their
work. Everything should be removed
from the closet, all boxes opened and
their contents carefully examined. Any
thing in the shape OF wool must be
hung in the open for a few hours,
thoroughly brushed and wrapped up
in a clean piece of cloth, several moth
Nothing is more wholesome for a closet
than calcimine.
1t should be allowed to dry thor
oughly before the door is closed.
Shelves and drawers should be remov-
ed and thoroughly cieansed. 1t is even
better if possible to treat them to sev
eral coat Of fresh paint, as there Is
nothing that kills moths or vermin
generally sooner than fresh paint.
In addition to this thorough clean
ing many housewives paint the crew
Ices and seams in the floor with oil
of turpentine or with oil Of cedar. But
these are really not necessary IL moths
are not discovered In he closet.
This is, az well, the month to put

MADE NO SHOES FOR REBs.
Irish Soldier From Massachusetts Re-
fused, Though Prisoner of War.

Boston Globe: A white haired,
elderly mar stood in Doris hall at the
state house the other day intently gaz-
ing al the battle flags of the Massa-
chusetts regiments that fought to pre-
serve the union from 1861 to 1865. He
fingered long and seemed to be greatly
interested in the TORI and tattered
standards. A visitor noticed the man,
and, stepping up to him, aid
You appear to be interested in
those fiags?"
Il think I have a right to be, SIR"
replied the old gentleman. That flag"
said he, pointing to the shot-riddled
colors Of the 18th regiment, was cap
tured from me in front Of Petersburg
by the rebels June %, 1864. Thirty
years afterward, by an act Of congress-,
1t was returned to the state, and l had
the honor of delivering it to the gov
ernoc of the commonwealth"
That's remarkable" said the visitor,
and the two fell to talking about the
stirring days Of the war, and the diff
ferent engagements that the 18th regi-
ment participated in. The color bearer
was Sergeant Michael Scannell, of
Lynn, who, although seventy-eight
years old, is hale and hearty, and is
known by every Grand Army man In
Essex county. Little by little Scannell
was induced to tell the story of the
capture Of the colors at Petersburg.
we were %brigaded with the 42d
New York and the 18th Massachu-
%setts,' said Sergeant Scannell, "and we
were ordered to advance. There was
evidently some mistake, as when we
moved out ii left a gap that Gen. Ma
none was quick to see and take adj
vantage of. Without any idea Of the
perilous position we occupied we NOV
ed forward in the best Of spirits.
Quicker than it takes to say Jack
Robinson the rebs swooped down up
on US, and we were powerless to resist
capture. 1t was all up with us, and
there was nothing to do but surrender.
A rebel officer rode up to me and, with
a long oath, demanded the colors. Give
me those colors, you yankee blankety
pointed at my head
II looked at him coolly and, straight
ening myself up, said: Sir. l have
been in this country nearly twenty
years, and you are the first man to
call me a yankee. TAX the colors.
You're welcome to Them"
Scannell, with the rest Of the regi-
ment, was hustled off to A~ndersonville,
and spent nearly twelve months in
rebel prisons, suffering untold misery.
One day while at AndersonvilIe a rebel
officer came through shouting the name
Of Sergeant Scannell.
That's me-" replied Scannell. He
was ordered to make shoes for the
rebs, as he had been a shoemaker at
Haverhill before the war.
"Never!" said Scannell; ~"never!"
The rebel officer argued with him
and told him that he would get better
food and treatment If he went into
the shoe shop, n hat he would have
a chance to recover from the scurvy
that had attacked him. But Scannell
was firm. Never" was the. reply.
D you think that I am going to go
back on the flag of my adopted coun-
try, n make shoes for rebs? Not
while l have my senses about me-"
Sergeant Scannell was one of a large
number Of Irishmen in the old 18th
regiment.

MR.. BAYssON PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.

Miscries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de.
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be.
| cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
| tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor, - he
SAYS. II was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains i'll my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight

the merits of which l learned from
friends III France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic III When dis.
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native OF
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,

can testify to the remarkable efficacy OF
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
