Jackson's hired girl who was suing the

TO BE SURE.

Easy to Tell Why This Committee OBJ
-jected to Labor Bill.
The employers liability bill" before
congress. No 4492, has been reported
on unfavorably by the subcommittee
of the senate committee on interstate
congress at Washington. The bill was
intended for the protection of working
men and made employers liable for in
juries sustained while the employe was
performing his duties.
A little study of the men who make
up that subcommittee will explain why
the bill was reported on unfavorably.
One member is Joseph Millard of Ne
braska, ex-government director of~the
Union Pacific, national banker and ele-
waited to the senate by railroad influ-
ence. Another member is Nelson w.
Aldrich, the boss politician of Rhode
Island, father-in-law of John D. Rookie
feller, jr., and known as the whole
cheese" in the senate of the United
States. Read what Lincoln J. Stefiins
had to say about him in recent Is
sue of McClure's Magazine. The third
member is A. J. McLaurin Of Mississip
pi, who has never given any evidences
Of taking an interest in tho welfare OF
the man who tolls. Is it any wonder
that such bill was sidetracked by that
kind Of committee?

Berlin possesses a successor to the
late lamented chimpanzee Consul, in
the shape of Consul II, of which the
following account has been published:
Recently Consul II appeared before
a meeting of the German Psychologist
cal Society and was the subject Of
lecture by the eminent psychologist.
Prof. Hirschlaff. The ape stood on
the platform beside the lecturer, in a
smoking jacket, top hat black trous-

gave Consul an excellent character.
He has good manners. is of friendly
disposition and manifests symptoms
OF what would be called in human be.
ings a loving nature. He has no OBJ
lection to the vicinity Of dogs, cats or
snakes, but is afraid of horses. Ne
traces are seen in Consul of any spe-
clal liking for women and soldiers.
Like most apes he delights in chill
dren, but evinces an adherence of
dolls. of which he can make nothing
and retires vanquished from their
presence. If" Consul is" tick1ed he
sometimes shrieks with laughter.
When punished he acts like a child,
holding his hands before his face. II
discovered at anything he is forbid
den to do he assumes hypocritically
an innocent demeanor which is dis
tinctly human.
He is restless and cannot sit long
in one position. With an excellent
! memory. he is yet incapable of ex.
pressing his wants either by gestures
or sounds. He cannot be taught to
whistle, nor does he understand hu.

is the tone of voice or the rhythm

NEW WAY TO MAKE BUTTER.

Sweet Cream Poured Over Pads Which
Absorb All but the Fat.
A committee of the Franklin insti
tute of Philadelphia has just made
public it's report on the Taylor proc
ess for butter making. 1t is recon-
mended that Mr.. Taylor receive the
John Scott. medal and premium in
recognition of the value Of his inven-
ton.
In this new process sweet cream is
poured into shallow pans the bottoms
of which are covered with absorbent
pads. These pads are composed OF
heavy white blotting paper supported
on Turkish toweling, or some similar
material, and absorb from the cream
nearly all of it's constituents except
the fat. The cream fat remains as a
layer on the surface of the pads and
after several hours standing it may
be rolled of.
In this condition the product con
tains rather too much water and milk
proteids; on this account. and because
Of the absence of salt, it does not keep
well. II, however, the separated but.
ter fat be worked and salted in the
same way as the ordinary churned
product the result is fine grade OF
butter.
The process has the advantage Of
cheapness. since the pads may be used
over and over again. lasting, it is said
for six months of daily use. The labor
of churning is avoided and, on ae
count Of the use Of fresh cream in.
stead Of that which has stood to ripen
for several days, the finished product
keeps better than butter made in the
ordinary way. The process has been

often more. The dumb-beli was
weighed at starting and finishing in

San Francisco's bug wagon" the
Board of Health's latest enterprise
aiming toward the extinction of all
forms of germs and dangerous bacilli,
had practical test in a workshop at
223 Folsom street. The various varie-
ties Of germs were placed on cards
and buried in the center of pillows
and mattresses. which were placed in
the oven or steriliZing box. Steam to
the amount of thirty pounds pressure
was turned on, and after twenty min
utes it was withdrawn and formc.
ton of chemical gases was allowed to
enter the vacuum. Whether the
germs met instant death cannot be de-
termined until after a post mortem,
which is nowsin progress at the city
laboratory. The sterilizer, the first
of it's kind to be built, is self-propell-
ing and has a speed Of about five miles
an hour. The machine resembles a
steam road grader somewhat in ap-
pearance, and weighs nearly four tons.

IN every possible way. But l am not
In sympathy with these indirect meth
DDS of attempting to abolish this evil.
All efforts in this direction should
strike at the fountain head of the evil,
and that is the laws under which they
are permitted to exist.
L believe the whole theory of at
tempting to suppress this trai1c by the
imposition of heavy fees for linceses
is an error. The fact must be recog-
nized that these men, when they COM
ply with existing laws, have rights
which the community must recognize,
under those laws. If the people do not
wish to recognize these laws then re-
peal them. Refusing to recognize the
rights, fully conferred by the law,
makes every one so opposing a vio-
later of law himself. While l was an
executive of the city l think l was
|censured for this view of the law more
than for any other single act of my adj
iministration and not~itns ;anc;ng' the
fact that l had taken an oath to en-
force the law. l was denounced, round
", because would not perjure my
self and violate the laws had sworn
to enforce, l did not make these Jaws
and was not responsible for them, but
my duty was to obey, and this l did to
the best of my ability. When these peo-
pie comply with the terms of the Slo-
cum and other laws, and thus obtain
their rights under them, they have as
much right to rur iae:r sa:oons as
ether men have to handle any other
line of business, and no official has a
right to refuse these rights. There
fore the only reasonable and logical
way to abolish this traffic. is TO abolish
the laws, under which it exists. l have
not much faith in iocai prohibition.
Have had considerable, and l feel COM
PEELED to say, unsatisfactory expert
ence in attempting to enforce local
prohibition, while resident of another

of the larger places in tho state, could
hardly hope to enforce, satisfactorily

TEN, within the limits of its own cor
poration. 1t must be a state law to
be effective. 1 know thoroughly the
situation in Kansas, ana I do not
believe that kansasfwill ever repeal its
prohibitory law, notwithstanding the
many statements OF its alleged fail
ures. Wherever it has failed, it has
been because the people of that COM
munity did not want it enforced, and
when such is the sentiment OF a com

can hardly be expected to be salts
