A FELLOW FEELING.
Why She Felt Lenient Towards the
Drunkard.

A great deal depends on the point Of
view. A good temperance woman was
led, in a very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment Of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she Is now the more charitable.
She writes:
For many years l was great suf-
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got so poor that found could not lie
down, but walked the floor whilst 9TH
ers slept. | got SO nervous l could not
rest anywhere.
Specialists told me must give up
the use of coffee-the main thing that
always thought gave me some relief.
consulted our family physician, and
he, being a coffee fiend himself, told
me to pay no attention to their advice.
Coffee had such charm for me that In

drunkard who could not pass the sa-
loon. Friends often urged me to try
Postum, but turned deaf ear, say
ing: That may do for people to whom
coffee is harmful, but not for me-cof-
fee and will never part
"At last, however, / bought a pack
age OF Postum, although / was sure I
could not drink It. I prepared II as
directed, and served 1t for breakfast.
Well, bitter as was against 1t, must
say that never before had tasted a
more delicious cup of coffee! From
that day to this (more than two years)
] have never had desire for the old
coffee. My health soon returned; the
asthma disappeared, began to sleep

pounds In weight.

tablets he had prescribed for me, tell

RUMER's MEASURE.

Moore Issues Compiled Report Of FL

Form.
Especial Correspondence

Lansing, Mich, Feb. 6.-Senator Ru-
with bill which provides for the aban-
donment of the pardon board and the APP
pointment of one man in this capacity.
An informal canvass of the legislature
brings to light the fact that move OF
this kind could certainly gain great
amount of support. as the governor him
self favors many of its provisions. Gov.
Warner has evolved a new-idea of his
own as to paroles. 1t Is his plan to hold
the first friend" OF convict whose APP
plication for parole Is to be considered,
to a bond, thus making him responsible
in a substantial manner for the paroled
mans conduct. The sentiment which
has sprung UP In favor Of DR.. Runners
measure has actually. astonished the
senator himself, and as soon as replies
are received from more circuit judges
who have been consulted on the matter,
the bill will be brought before the legis-
lature. Small expense Is another good
feature Of the measure, as it is pointed
out that the total expenditures Of the
present board for the past year has been
about $4,000. and that for this year will
be even larger, according to the legisla-
tors. In relation to the measure, the
governor issues the following state
ment: Il believe there ought to be some
body to whom the governor may refer
the investigation of petitions for par
dons and paroles, as he does not have
the time to look into all these cases. /
am not much concerned about any plan
that would try to limit the pardoning
power of the governor, as that is secured
by the constitution"

ignorance of, or Indifference to, the re-

comments Of the plaintiffs counsel
upon the conduct of the deputy in

action" The defendant claimed that
the oil had been inspected by the state
and pronounced o. K, and at this juno
ture II was shown that the inspector
had been in the habit of delivering a
card approving the standard of oil
without first making the test. Some
times, 1t was pointed out. the inspector
would leave card, saying that If he
found the oil not up to the standard
he would notify the grocer. The tes-
timony showed that the lamp had ex-

that the plaintiff had suffered severe

Labor in Michigan.

At the state labor bureau a summary
has been made of statistics gathered in
regard to labor and wages in
Michigan. The. whole number of en-
ployes canvassed was 212,S6S and the
average daily wage was SLIT. Super
intendents were paid $4.32 a day and
the wage Of employees varied from that
down to GA cents day. Last year the
canvass of the average daily wage was
$1.75, the slight increase being on ac-
count of higher wages paid to super
intendents. An interesting fact is that
the daily wage of this quarter of mil
lion persons is $376,776 In aggregate.
In enc week the sum reached $780,
65S and in a month is s9.796.1S5. For
the yearly aggregate the sum reaches
$107. 73S, 03S. A special canvass was
made Of the beet sugar factories OF the
state. which shows that the average
length OF the seasons campaign was
50 days. The factories manufactured
10. 900 pounds of sugar. approxi-'

tons OF beets. This amount OF sugar Is

In supreme court decision rendered
in this city, the jurists hold that the
section of the law of 1895, which gives
steamship companies the right to
choose the locations of their headquar-

constitutional. The court declares that
individuals do not have this right and
consequently it is held that the action
is contrary to the constitutional pro-
vision requiring uniformity of taxation.
The decision was rendered in the case
of the Teagan Transportation COM

Steamship company. The, decision says
that these companies must pay taxes
in Detroit, because of the law which
says that corporations organized and
engaged in maratime commerce shall
be assessed only in the city. village or
township which is stated in their orig

that were established were that these
companies had Offices outside of De-

A Negro Non-union Teamster Was
Killed and Bartender Was Fa-
tally Wounded During a Riot
in Which a Saloon Was
Partly Demolished.

Chicago, May 24.-All prospects of
peace in the teamsters strike have
disappeared and it will be open war
from this time on. The last conference
looking toward peaceable adjust
ment was held last night between
James B. Barry, business agent for the
Express Drivers union, and the local
managers of the seven express COM
panies. The conversation was brief
and pointed. Business Agent Barry
opened the negotiations by saying.
Our position is this. l want all
the men reinstated except those who
have been guilty of violence. l can
not do anything different. That is
what the local union wants and that is
what the local officers have told me to
demand. That is all | can do. The
men told me they all want to go back
in body or they won't go back at all.
That is the position of the union and
the union officials"
The reply of the representatives of
the express companies was:
"Our opposition to the reinstatement
of the men will be the same four years
from now as it is to-day We will not
take them back under any circum-
stances"
This brought the conference to a
close and all parties concerned in it
left the city hall
The spread of the strike yesterday
was not as large as was anticipated
Chicago, May 22.-Rioting resulted
last night at Twenty and Dear
born streets when James Gray, a ne
gro non-union teamster, was shot dead
by Harry Bernstein, bartender, dur
ing an argument over the teamsters'
strike. Bernstein was mortally shot
by Policeman Tinsley, colored, and
1000 persons partly demolished a
saloon into which Tinsley had taken
the unconscious bartender.
In discussion last night of the
strike and the shooting of Carlson,
Gray and Bernstein fought in the
street. Bernstein drew a revolver and
fired four shots. Two bullets took eff
tect in Gray's body and he fell dead.
Two negroes, attracted by the noise,
seized the bartender and a fight for
the revolver began. Tinsley, who has
been appointed as a special policeman
during the strike, ran up. Bernstein
swung the revolver towards Tinsley
and, it was said, discharged the
weapon twice. Tinsley drew his own
revolver and fired four shots, each of
the bullets taking effect in Bernstein s
body.

A 100000 FIRE LOSS.
Crossed Wires Caused a Disastrous
Blaze at Wilkesbarre, Pa.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 22.-One of
the most disastrous fires that has oc-
CURED in this city in some years
started at an early hour Sunday
morning and not until afternoon were
the firemen able to control the flames.
The loss entailed will reach fully
$500 coo.
The fire originated in the millinery
department on the second floor of the
Isaac Long dry goods house in the
Welles building on the west side of
the public square, one of the handsom-
est and costliest structures in this
city. When first discovered the flames
were controlled by the firemen in less
than an hour. A second fire broke out
in the basement of the building about
an hour after the first one had been
subdued.
A careful investigation was made
by electricians, who declare the fire
was first caused by the crossing of
two electric wires, the water used to
quencE the first flames following some
of the wires into the basement of the
building, where a short circuit was
formed, causing flash from a large
dynamo which started the second fire.
