HE URGES ACTION
Bryan's Visit to Washington to
Stir Up Democratic
Senators
ON RATE CONTROL QUESTION
Coalition With Republicans to Force
Attention to Subject Now
Probable.

Washington, Jan "a. - While in
Washington William Jennings Bryan
talked with the president AMI leaders
of his own party in favor of n combi-
nation of forces between the demo
Gratis and republicans favoring rail
road rate legislation to control the
situation in the senate. AS a result
of his advice a movement has been
started by the democrats to form such
coalition.
The solid democratic vote of g., can
be case for rate legislation, and it is
estimated that at least IS republican
senators from northwestern states will
join in overriding the interstate com
mittee and forcing action. In line with
this movement Representative Burgess
of Texas, in a speech in the house
yesterday. pledged TO the president the
support of the house democrats in the
effort 10 reform the railroad.
Hepburn's Bill Opposed.
Dissatisfaction with the Hepburn
bill is rapidly spreading in the house.
as inspection leads TO the fear that it
is not SO favorable to the shipping in
terests as its friends claim. Ii will be
taken up by the interstate commerce
committee tomorrow. and probably
will be reported before the end of the
week, when the supporters of the
Cooper-Quarles bill predict their meas
ure will be substituted for il.
A c. Bird of the Gould system, ap-
peared before the committee. He de-
clared that none of the pending meas
ures touched the main question, and
that all that has been proposed was
in opposition TO what has been done.
Unreasonable rates per Sc. he said,
had disappeared. and the mistake now
being made was in dealing with the
question as though the railroads were
controlled by one mind.

Colorado State Institutions.

Denver. June 17.-Secretary Hagar
OF the State Board of Charities and
Corrections. in discussing the recent
ysit of the board TO the state institu-
tons. said yesterday that the thing
that most impressed them was the In.
ability OF ths state TO take care OF its
insane. The last two legislatures have
been generous and the new buildings
q the institution are only recently
completed, but they are not enough.
The day the board was there there
we're 7G1 inmates, of whom more than
40 are declared to be incurable. The
place is worked to its capacity right
now and the county hospitals are full
Di persons who should be at the asy-

The condition at the State Peniten-
tiary was satisfactory. in so far as the
Management is concerned. There are
721 prisoners. But two were in the
hospital the day the board visited:
these had some slight ailments. This
Is remarkable. considering that the
men have to be confined so closely.

Chicago, June 20.-No one can
so into cur schools or meet q
group of children OH the street
without noticing how large number
of them wear spectacles. The proper.
tson seems to increase yearly. and
there are many more who ought TO
wear glasses. The experience OF one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score. She knew Alice was inatten-
tive and she thought she was unusual
ly stupid, She said so to the principal
and sent a note to the mother, re-
questing that the child be helped at
home if she wished her to keep up
with her class. One day after a black
board explanation. the teacher called
upon the child and found that she
had not seen what had been written.
She was kept after school and by dint
of much sympathetic questioning Miss
C. found that Alice had never been
able to see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and so hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack of proper food. but in our AReri-
can homes it is usually due to the
poor quality of the artificial light. The
yellow. insufficient light of the ordi-
nary kerosene lamp. with its smoky
chimney. is about as bad for the eyes
as can be imagined. The fickering
light fro.n a coal gas jet is but little
better, and even the electric light.

produces as nearly perfect an artificial

clear white, unwavering light. very
brilliant yet perfectly soft, and so
nearly like the rays OF the sun that
even colors appear as In daylight.
Fortunately. acetylene is very easily
and eheaply produced. and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at very
moderate cost. and the acetyleue can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where a light is needed. II is

THE END OF A STRUGGLE.
The Curry Baby Died Sunday Night
 After 12 Weeks Illness.

Little Mary Eudora Curry died Sun day night at ten o'clock after a sick ness that has lasted for twelve weeks. The little one has been very low the greater part of that time and again it was not thought that the baby could live over night but she held onto life with remarkable vitality. All hope of her recovery was given up weeks ago but as long as there was life there was hope and the parents and many friends of the child could not but think that there was a possible chance of her living Teething was what caused her illness in the first place and since there have been complications of one kind and another The funeral was held yesterday afternoon from St. Mary's church and the interment was made in the Catholic cemetery.
