Martha Weightman is one of the
granddaughters and a daughter of
Mrs. Jones Wister Mrs. Wister ex-
poets to prove that her father promised
to give each of his sons children
$1,O0O,0O0. The petition was granted,
and this sets aside the probate of the
will.
Theater Managers Held.
Twenty-four members Of the The
atrical Managers association of New
York were held, June 1, for trial on
the charge Of criminal conspiracy in
agreeing to bar James S. Metcalfe,
critic Of Life, from the forty seven
theaters controlled by the association.
In making this decision Magistrate
Poole said he was of the opinion that
the theater is quasi public place and
consequently that person holding
tickets could not be denied admission
on the ground that he had written
criticisms rejecting on one or more
members of the association.
The Franchise Tax Law Valid.
The United States supreme court has
decided unanimously that the special
franchise tax law of New York, for
which Theodore Roosevelt worked
when he was governor Of the state,
does not violate the federal constitu
ton. Several cases have come up from
the state supreme court of appeals
brought by street railway and gas cor
porations of New York city. The court
said it was presumed that all property
within the city was subject to taxation
and that no contract could destroy this
presumption by inference, as nothing
passes by implication in public grants.
Since this law has been in operation
over $24, 100000 Of unpaid taxes have
accumulated, pending the decision of
the highest court.
Corkmakers Acquitted.
The four members Of the Nonpareil
Cork works of Camden, n j., who
were accused of conspiracy against
the federal government for placing
iron bars in cork life preservers were
acquitted at Trenton by order Of Judge
Lanning on the ground that no case
had been made out against them.

complete regeneration OF the city gov
eminent. The injunction proceedings
against the mayor were abandoned.
The decentralization of the city ma
chine was expected to undermine the
entire city organization headed by
Senator Penrose, and plans were per-
fected for giving the Republican party
of the Keystone State rebirth In the
light of real representative govern
ment. It was generally understood that
In the coming campaign against the
Penrose-D Durham ring municipal owner
ship would be the leading issue.
When the city councils reassembled,
June 1, they reversed their former mo-
ton by recalling the gas lease, while
crowds in the galleries hooted and
laughed. Mayor Weaver, with his
counsel, sat in an anteroom and was
complete master of the situation. The
dismissal Of the machine directors,
Smyth and Costello, and the appoint
ment Of their successors, Potter and
Acker, were duly approved. Besides
all this, an ordinance was brought in
fixing the tax rate for the fiscal year
at $150, as heretofore. Later the
mayor took the first steps toward re-
gaining control of the gas works when
the present lease expires in 1907 FL
nally he made the new and revolution
izing move of selecting twelve men to
serve without salary as an advisory
board to be consulted upon matters
financial and political.
Extra Session Deferred.
In response to the urgent request of
Speaker Cannon and a number of
prominent Republicans in congress
President Roosevelt is understood to
have changed his mind about the time
for calling an extra session Of the new
congress. 1t was announced semiom-
cially May 20 that congress would not
be summoned in extraordinary session
until after the fall elections, or about
the middle Of November.

Labor Scarce In Fall River.
A scarcity of labor leading to COM
petition among employing firms for
skilled workers constitutes novel
state of affairs in Fall River, Mass,
where wages in some lines of work are
rising, in response to the law Of supply
and demand, above the rates fixed by the
Manufacturers association. The scare
ity of labor is felt as well in the iron
as in the cotton trades The recent pro-
longed strikes are supposed to be re-
sponsible for this state of affairs,
though 1t is said that agents from all
parts of the United States and Canada
have been trying to induce operatives
to go to other localities to work.
Eight Hour Day In Canal Zone.
Following an opinion that the eight

in the canal zone, the isthmian canal

lights are being installed, and three
shifts of laborers will be employed.

The department Of commerce reports
that 521,32O immigrants have arrived
at the various ports Of this country in
the six months ending April 30 last.
This is an increase Of nearly one-third
over the arrivals for the same period

than $4,000 have come from that coun-
try during this six months.

formally opened at Portland, Ore,
June 1, and the day was legal holt
day throughout Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. By touching an electric
button in the White House at Wash
ington President Roosevelt set the ma
chinery' in motion. Vice President
Fairbanks and number of congress
men and state governors took part III
the opening ceremonies and reviewed
the parade. The keynote Of Mr.. Fair
banks speech was the necessity Of

tai trade. The exposition marks the
feat of exploration century ago,

northwest to American settlement.
Wabash Live to New York.
1t was announced at Pittsburg that
George Gould and his associates had
got control of new route for the
Wabash direct through central Penn
sylyania to New York. This line Is
expected to have the lowest grade
crossing Of the Allegheny mountains.
Peat as Railroad Fuel.
Engineers Of the Denver, Northwest
ern and Pacific railroad have discover
ed thousands of acres Of peat along
the route of the new line near Toll
land. A process has been adopted by
means of which the peat can be SO
mixed with a chemical as to burn bet
ter than anthracite coal. This is ex-
pected to be a saving to the Moffatt
road and attract many new industries
to that region.

The American consul at Tamsul,
Formosa, notified the state department

moter who is going to establish a big

er, whose name is Kinzaburo Saba,

Philadelphia Machine Crushed.
Following the decision Of the United
Gas Improvement company to with
draw its proposition for new lease OF
the Philadelphia gas works, 1t was still
feared that the long dominant political
machine would continue an unrelent-
ing warfare on Mayor Weaver by re-
fusing to allow councils to confirm 8
new appointees. Spurred on by TINS

that it's use does not make school

court of appeals has affirmed the de-
cision of the circuit court in the case Of
Thomas Hacket against the board of

Catholic and whose children attended
the public school, began proceedings to
prevent the reading of the King James

otherwise that no children were re-

A WOMAN'S IDEA.
The Dish.Washer Of the Age that Makes
Labor in Washing Dishes ChiId's
Play.

"Any child can use IT," is an old standby az
saying in any new household appliance. In
a greater or less degree this is sometimes true,
but ia the case of the Mound City Dish Washer
It is absolutely true, for a small child, one z
or years OF age, can manipulate 1t and do it
easily. II is economic frOm the standpoint
that 1t does not break or crack the dishes,
and those horIid chips that make the dishes
look so uusightly are never known where the
Mound City Dish-Washer is used. II very
soon pays for itself, and makes the hOusewOrk
Of an ordinary family several hours shoI ter
than It otherwise would be. Hands that are
plugged into hot water and are covered with
the grease and dirt Of the dishes lose that
dainty, velvety delioacy OF the skin and be-
come rough hard and toilworn. This is all
avoided when one uses the Mound City Dish
Washer, as ones hands need not even get wet
in the entire operation. For sale by A. J. W.
