Eioht.Hour Day in Panama.

Washington, June 10.-The opinion
Of Attorney General Moody regarding
the application of the eighthour law
on the isthmus of Panama was made
public to-day. He holds that the act
of August l, 1892, which limits and
restricts to eight hours the daily ser
vice of laborers and mechanics en-
ployed by the government of the
United States. or by any contractor or
sub-contractor upon the public works
of the United States, applies to the
employment of laborers and mechan-
les in the construction of the Panama
canal.
Tha. act. however, the attorney gen
eral holds, does not apply to the office
force of the isthmian canal commission
stationed on the isthmus of Panama. or
to any of the employees of the govern
ment who are not. within the ordinary
meaning of the words. "laborers and
mechanics" Also that the scope of
the act is not limited by the terrific
rial jurisdiction of Congress.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
in discussing the proposition to give
to that Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates:
"I think the railways should make
their own rates. think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
Hess. l have never advocated any
law, and l am not now in favor OF
any law, which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court. While 1t
may be necessary to do that some.
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time, while 1t is
done in some countries, l am opposed
to it. - The railway rate is
property. 1t is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest of Its
property is not good for anything un-
less it can charge rate. Now 1t mas
always seemed to me that when
rate was fixed If that rate was an un-
reasonable rate, it deprives the rail-
road company of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights. Of its property,

Reprieve Has Expired.

Canon City, Colo. June 12.-The
time of the reprieve granted Fred
erick Arnold and Newton Andrews,
the Youngblood murderers, having ex-
pired today, the men will tomorrow
be returned to their former cells in
the execution house in the State Peni-
tentary, from which they were taken
ten days ago. The friends who had
promised the necessary funds to carry
their cases to the United States SUI
preme court having failed in their ef-
forts, it looks tonight as If the men
would suffer the penalty of their
crime during the present week.
From the fact that up to this even
ing Warden Cleghorn had received no
word from the governor of longer
reprieve it is taken to mean that none
will be granted, and that Attorney
Willis V. Elliott of Denver, who is
making every effort to save the boys
from hanging, has failed to convince
the governor that more time should
be given him.

GAS and WATER
Is ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER2
Citizen. o, Large cities Say l. 10.

New York. June 13.-In the recent
agitation here about the price of gas.
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon sup
ply of gas as upon supply of good
water.
1t has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, is
cheaper. better and more satisfactory
than any other kind of light. Gas
sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
In large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene). and each user makes his own
gas and is independent of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is a
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent of city
gas at S5 cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame
Is soft, steady and brilliant, and in
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. II water and solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder
full gas. The generation of acetylene
is so simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
It. II it is desired to make 1t for prac-
tical lighting. and to keep it for i'm
mediate use, then a small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator" is
employed. There are many RESPONSE.
BILE concerns making acetylene gener.
ators. In practice, this gas is dis
tributed In small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds. or entire cities
and towns. in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means Of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun-
try or suburbs at distance from city
gas or electric plants.

Western Federation Meeting.

Salt Lake, June 9.-The annual con-

retary w. d. Haywood were reelected

cago III body to take part in the or
ganization of the industrial Union.
which will be launched June 27th. The

Valuable Street Car Device.

Managers of electric railways in
Cleveland have not idled their time in
discussing the physiological phases
of the fact that women-the majority
of women-face to the rear when
alighting from street car. They
have simply recognized the existence
of the habit. and by the use of a
practical device made its continuance
nearly impossible. Just a rail put in
such position that it can be grasped
by only one hand. and that the one
that swings its owner head and eyes
to the front, has done the trick, and 1t
Is believed that many accidents will
be averted by its adoption. And If 1t
does work as well as expected it
seems moral obligation is laid upon
railway managers everywhere to pro-
tect their woman passengers from
their own carelessness.

that King Oscar or Crown Prince
'Gustave will yield to the request of
the Norwegian storthing to place
prince OF the house of Bernadotte on
the throne of Norway has now disap-
peared. according to a high authority.
The Danish royal family has also set

prince.

are actually being made for national

FEED YOUNG GIRLS.

ina.

ing.
Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl
is just merging into womanhood that
the diet shall contain all that is up
building and nothing harmful.
AT that age the structure is being
formed and if formed of a healthy,
sturdy character. health and happi-
ness will follow; on the other hand
unhealthy cells may be built in and a
sick condition slowly supervene
which, if not checked, may ripen into
a chronic disease and cause lifelong
suffering.
A young lady says:
Coffee began to have such an effect
on my stomach few years ago, that
was compelled to quit using it. 1t
brought on headaches, pains in my
muscles and nervousness.
Il tried to use tea in its stead, but
found its effects even worse than
those l suffered from coffee. Then
for long time l drank milk alone at
my meals, but it never helped me
physically, and at last it palled on me.
A friend came to the rescue with the
suggestion that | try Postum Coffee.
Il did so, only to find at first, that l
didn't fancy it. But l had heard of
SO many persons who had been benefit
ed by its use that l persevered, and
when | had 1t brewed right found it
grateful in flavor and soothing and
strengthening to my stomach. / can
md no words to express my feeling
OF what owe to Postum Food Coffee!
In every respect it has worked
wonderful mprovement-the head
aches. nervousness, the pains in my
side and back, all the distressing
symptoms yielded to the magic power
of Postum. My brain seems also to
share in the betterment of my physi-
cal condition; it seems keener, more
alert and brighter. l am, in short, in
better health now than | ever was
before: and am sure owe it to the
use of your Postum Food Coffee"
