the fear of the possibility Of Madame de Tierss
nerve deserving her some day Of the intrepid
French woman being indispOsed.
Madame de Tiers will continue to brave the
dip Of death" twice daily. despite the acquisi
ton OF an understudy he said. IF there
should be an accident it is almost certain that ir
would be a fatal one, and in that case suppose
even an understudy would not dare to continue
the act but so great is the strain of defying the
dip Of death that quite expect that at some
performance Madame de TieTs's nerves will get
the better of her"
Seven applications for the perilous position
have thus far reached the circus management.
Six of these letters are from women Of various
ages. who unanimously declare that they know
not what nerves are and are willing TO attempt
any kind of a feat The other letter is from
man. who offers to attire himself in wOman's
clothes and wear wig if desired The circus
management is not satisfied with any Of the
applications. The six most likely candidates
Will be put through test on Sunday after

BLOW TO LABOR.
Supreme Court Says Ten Hour
 Law is Unconstitutional.

Washington, April IT In an opinion by Justice Peckham. the supreme court of the United States holds to be unconstitution- al the New York state law mak- ing ten hours days work and sixty hours a weeks work in bakeries in that state. Justice Harlan, Justice White, Justice Day and Justice Tolmes dissented. Justice Harlan declared that no more important decision had been rendered in the last century.
 The effect of the decision of the United States supreme court re- garding the New York baker hour law will be to nullify the laws in the various states in the union which fix the number of hours that shall constitute days work. There are many of these laws in the states and the labor organizations have been working for more.
 The baker union hours are ten hours day or sixty hours week. Where union hours are not enforced the bakers work fourteen hours day.
