Filter The Smoke.

Users of tobacco should, according
to a German Investigator, filter the
smoke from their pipes through cotton
soaked in ferric salts. BY this process
the fumes Of the essential oil, of the
hydrogen sulphide, the cyanhydric acid
and about half the nicotine and its
products Of decomposition are got rid
of, while the smoke is not deprived of
its aroma.

The mother told the old fairy story
the two children who set out to dis
cover the pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow. Then each child was given
a piece of string which he or she was
to wind up without breaking; the
cords had been arranged as for q
spider-web party. When the end OF
the string was reached a tiny pot was
found ON the end filled with pepper

THE STRIKE LOST SIGHT OF.
On Charges of Bribery in Com
nectiOn With Labor Unions.

Chicago, June 1.-THE teamsters'
strike proper has almost been lost
sight of, attention of both sides to the
controversy being occupied more with
the charges of bribery in connection
with labor unions in Chicago than
with the real issue.
Within the next "a hours, it was
said, Tuesday night, a history of the
secret transactions of labor unions in
Chicago, for the past four years, will
be made public, and that the informa-
ton will implicate many labor leaders,
whom it is asserted have accepted
brides to call off strikes. The man
who is expected TO give this informa-
ton is John c. Driscoll, former secre-
tary of the Coal Team Owners associ-
alton. who has been the intermediary
between the employers and the Team
sters' unions in this city for the past
four years.

RANCHERS AND RUSTLERS
A Running Battle for Sixty Miles In
which Two Rustlers and One
Rancher Were Killed.

BIackfoot, Idaho, June ia bloody
battle has taken place neal the edge
Of Jackson's Hole, Wyo. A number of
cattle rustlers rounded up about ninety
head of fine steers. and started toward
the most favorable railroad point, the
intention being to gather more cattle
en- route. The ranchers to whom the
cattle belonged organized a posse, and
pursued the outlaws, and there was a
running fight for 60 miles. Two of the
rustlers were killed and also one of the
ranchers, and numerous wounds were
sustained. The names of the killed
outlaws are given as Robinson and
Lewis. The name of the rancher was
not learned.

MISSOURI LID" LAW UPHELD
Closing O In Missouri On Sum
day Is Not Glass Leg
isIation.

st. Louis, June 14.-Judge Moore of
the court of criminal correction has
upheld the constitutionality of the Sun
day closing law, which had been at
tackled by a motion filed by Casper
Carl, saloonkeeper, on the ground that
it is class legislation.
In his motion, Carl insisted that the
law was class legislation, because it re-
ferred only to one class, saloonkeepers.
When his motion was overruled he
pleaded guilty to the charge of giving
away liquor on Sunday and was fined
$50, which he paid.
Judge Moore said that the saloon
keepers license was granted him in
consideration of his promise to obey
the laws governing dramshops. Others
can give liquor away, he said, because
they are not bound by the license
which makes it possible for saloon
keepers to sell and which removes that
privilege from them.

BETTER FEELING" EXISTS.
MOre Weather Has
Brought About "a 'Better Feel
ing' in Business.

New York, June 10.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
The situation this week may be
summed up in the phrase, better feel
ing" which is predicated on rather
more seasonable weather, allowing bet
ter crop progress, a larger volume OF
retail trade and improved recorder
business at wholesale. These in turn
are reflected in a more assured tone
as to fall business in distributive lines.
Relatively best advices come from sur
plus cereal crop producing regions, but
the feeling at the south is likewise
better. Against this is to be noted
some temporary quoting, due to rains
or cold weather in the northwest, the
lake region and the east, while new
business in iron and steel is smaller
and prices are easing. All measures of
trade movement still point unmistak-
ably to large gains in all lines over a
year ago.
Crop reports confirm last weeks in
timations of a turn for the better in
winter wheat, corn and cotton crop
prospects.

A RUSSIAN STATEMENT.
1t VIII the Russian Public
in a General Way for the
Peace Negotiations.

st. Petersburg, June 14.-Instead of
publishing the text of its official reply
to the message from President Roose-
welt regarding the initiation Of peace
negotiations with Japan, the Russian
government decided, with the purpose
of taking the public into its confidence
regarding the prospects of peace, to
issue a statement summarizing the
status of negotiations which will ap-
pear in the form of a communication
in the foreign Office gazette. This
statement, which pays a graceful
tribute 10 President Roosevelt's &C
ton, expresses in a general way Rus
sia's willingness to negotiate, without
entering into particulars which can
not be considered to be definitely de-
termined until the receipt of the Jap
anese reply. The Russian government,
under the circumstances, has deemed
it best to leave to the Washington
government The publication of the Rus
sian note.

Washington, June 13.-A thorough
enforcement of the anti-lottery law is
urged on postmasters and all other
postal employees in a general order pro-

General Cortelyou. 1t calls on all en-
polyes to examine mail matter, special
ly publications, with the greatest care,
consistent with prompt transmission
and delivery and to withdraw OF ex-
clude all such relating to lotteries and
like enterprises. Many postmasters, the
order adds, have been found negligent
in this regard, as well as the enforce
ment of fraud orders against lotteries

Biennial Convention Of Conductors
Ask Congress Not to Pass Adj
verse Railroad Laws.

At the biennial convention Of the
Order of Railway Conductors recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously adopted voicing
their sentiments as to the effect of pro-
posed railway rate legislation on the
1900, 900 railroad employees, whom they
in part represented. These resolutions
Endorse the attitude Of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret re-
bates and other illegalities, and CONF
mend the attitude Of the heads OF
American Railways, who, with prac-
teal unanimity, have joined with
the President on this question"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the "inadvisability Of legisla'
mission power over railway rates, now
lower by far in the United States than
in any other country" because such
regulation would result in litigation
and confusion and inevitably tend to
an enforced reduction in rates, ire
spective Of the question Of the ability
Of the railroads to stand the reduction,
N2PS|laAlJ AZ fAVn VI AAC AZ CdSC0 OOOb
Of their supplies and materials" They
further protested against such power
being given to the present Interstate
Commission because "the proposed leg
islation is not in harmony with our
idea Of American Jurisprudence, mas
much as 1t contemplates that a single
body shall have the right to i1vesti-
gate, indict, try, condemn and then
enforce its decisions at the cost of the
carriers, pending appeal, which is
m~anifestly 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 sis 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 intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against legis-
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that 'the freight
rates of this country average only two
per cent. of the cost of articles to the
consumer, thus making the freight
rate so insignificant a factor in the
selling price that numerous standard
articles are sold at the same price in
all parts Of the country"

MAY DIE A NATURAL DEATH
The Chicago Transfers Strike is
Gradually Petering Out.
Unless New Life is Injected Into 1t
death From Natural Causes"
Will BE the Verdict.

Chicago, June 13.-The teamsters'
strike has come to the stage where it
will die a natural death unless new life
is injected into it by the strikers. Dur
ing the past "a hours nothing Of any
Importance whatever has developed,
neither side to the controversy having
made any aggressive move. According
to the employers involved in the trou-
BILE, they have succeeded in getting
their business almost back to normal
conditions. The teamsters are doing
absolutely nothing in the strike, not a
being made either for peace or a
spread of the difficulty.
The new June grand jury has begun
an investigation Of the alleged charges
Of bribery in connection with the
strike, which were left unfinished by
the last grand jury.
Several witnesses were heard. among
them being Fred Sontag, Chicago man
ager for the Anheuser-BUsch Brewing
Co., who was questioned in connection
with the strike Of the drivers employed
by that company in 1903.

Money in Circulation.

To keep track of the different kinds
Of money in circulation seemed, a few
years ago, nc slight task. To-day 1t is
much simpler, says Youths Compan-
lon; four easily remembered classes
practically include it all. These are
gold, silver, national banknotes and
government notes. Gold circulates al
most wholly in the form of gold GER:
t~ifcates, which stand for the metal in
the treasury, as the trunk check which
the railroad issues stands for the
trunk. The certificates are easier to
carry about. They are issued in de-
nominations of $50 and upward. 1t is
the present aim Of the department to
give each class of currency a field of
Its w Silver certificates, which are
mainly in ones, twos and fives, hold
the same relation to silver coin, except
that among the farm laborers of the
south there is a decided preference for
the metallic dollar over its paper rep
resentative. On the Pacific coast gen.
orally, with all classes of people, paper
money continues in disfavor; as in
Europe, coin, both gold and silver, is
preferred. In this class must also be
included Subsidiary COINS" or those
made of silver in denominations of less
than one dollar, and the still smaller
change, known as the minor" coins
nickels and cents-of which about $780,
600, 200 in all are in circulation. Be
sides these classes resting directly on
metals, comes two forms of paper. The
issue of United States notes, common
ly known as "greenbacks," is a fixed
amount, and the notes are promises to
pay in coin On demand. They were
formerly Of all denominations, but are
now almost exclusively $40 bills. OF
national banknotes there are more
than $3.50, 900, 900 in circulation, which
is the high-water mark. Nearly half
the governments bonds are held by the
treasurer of the United States as Sc
curity against this circulation, which
is chiefly in fves, tens and twenties.
OF the kinds of money, gold represents
A per cent; silver little more thar
half as much; national banknotes,
which come third, considerably exceed
~greenbacks in value. The total Of this
money, equally divided, would give to
each inhabitant of the country an aver
age Of about $31.
