FOR UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS
COMMITTEE SUBMITS MEASURE
TO NATIONAL CONVENTION
AT PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, Nov. 14.-The nation
al congress on uniform divorce laws
held its second meeting in this city
during the day. The first meeting
was held at Washington nine months
ago, at which time an adjournment
was taken to permit committee to
draft a bill on uniform divorce laws
to be presented to the legislatures of
all the states. The bill drawn by the
committee names six causes for
which divorces can be granted. They
are; infidelity, felony, bigamy, deser-
ton, habitual drunkenness and intol-
cradle cruelty.
The committee recommends that
the various legislatures be asked to
agree on period of residence before
application may be made for divorce.
It is expected by the committee that
this recommendation, if adopted by all
the states, will decrease the number
of migratory divorces.
Delegates from all sections of the
country attended the days session, at
which Governor Pennypacker presided
In reading sections of the bill Chair
man Smith called special attention to
the paragraph which provides that
no record or evidence in any divorce
case shall be impounded or access
thereto refused. He said there had
been some opposition to making all
divorce proceedings open to the pub
lie because of the evil influence they
may have on the community, but the
committee, he said, decided on open
proceedings because the benefits from
public hearings outweigh the dangers.

RECOMMENDING OF THE Ex.
EcUTlvE COUNCIL OF FED.
GRAFTON OF LABOR.
DISTINCT PARTY NOT CONTEMPLATED
WILL URGE CERTAIN LEGisLA-
TIVE MEASURES AND KEEP
TAB ON FRIENDS.

Minneapolis, Nov. 14.-The recent
political activity of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor occupied prominent
place in the report Of the executive
council to the twenty-sixth annual
convention of the federation, in ses'
sion here, which was read at the
morning session by Vice President
James Duncan.
While the report did not go into the
details of the recent campaign for
the defeat of Speaker Cannon, Con-
gresham Littlefield of Maine and 9TH
er congressional candidates it defined
clearly the attitude of organized Ia
Dor toward politics and gave sum-
mary of the receipts and disburse-
ments of the campaign fund subscrib-
ed by the affiliated unions of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. According
to the report the total sum received
for campaign purposes was $S,056.89,
the total expenditures $7,S34.11 and
the unexpended remainder $222.7S.
The report further stated that de-
tailed report of expenditures was in
preparation and would be mailed to
all contributors and to all others ap-
plying and paying Is cents. The
American Federation does not con-
template the formation Of distinct
political party. 1t does not intend to
dictate the party membership of any
union man. 1t does propose to sug-
gest from time to time legislative
measures of advantage to labor and
to secure the nomination and election
of representatives and senators ia
vorable to their enactment and to
give full publicity to the action TAX
en- on these bills that all union men
may know who are their friends. Pre-
ceding this declaration of its political
platform the committee outlined the
political declarations of the Ameri-
1894 to show that its entrance into
active campaigning in the late cleo
ton was not a sudden departure from
its former policy, but a logical cul-
mination of a long period of evolu-
ton.
eve have never opposed politics in
our organization" says the report,
though we have always opposed par
tisan politics.
Independent voting with an eye
single to the interests of labor is urg-
ed upon all members of the affiliated
unions"

Ten Acres Enough.

Many man who has gone into busi-
ness with the notion that he must have
an extensive plant in order to succeed
has found that he has undertaken too
much. This was the experience of an
Arkansas farmer, who for many years
fltfully titled farm of 200 acres with
out making at any time comfortable
living. At last he sold the land to five
italian families, who took forty acres
each. A northern traveller who passed
that way and was attracted by the
neatness and evident prosperity Of the
small farms entered into conversation
with one Of the proprietors.
''How much land have your he
asked
'Forty acres" said the Italian.
us it all in tillage?'
mo, indeedr' exclaimed the farmer
Ten acres are all one man can attend
to. bought the rest for my sons"
Ten acres may seem like small
farm to most Americans, but carefully
cultivated it produced for the Italian
more revenue than 200 had for the pre-
vious owner.-Youth's Companion.

NO LONGER POPULAR.
Count Whites Return to Russia
Without Incident.

Without Incident.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 14.-The ar
rival of Count Witte here created
scarcely a ripple on the surface of
Russian politics. In contrast with his
reception after his return from Ports
mouth, when a throng gathered at the
railroad station to greet him and the
street in front of his house was block
ed the following day by the carriages
of high personages coming to pay
their respects to the man of the hour,
the count was met at the depot BY
only Baron Aide and a few reporters
and he received very few callers The
rare arrivals were closely scrutinized
by agents of the secret police on &C
count of the reported threats of as
sassination. Count Witte denied him
self to reporters and declined to make
a statement regarding his reported in
tention Of resigning his seat in the
council Of the empire and being can
didate for election to parliament. The
Constitutional Democrats are eager to
receive him in their ranks in case he
decides to be candidate.

SHAW VISITS NEW YORK.
Decides Not to Help Out Bankers At
Present. ,N

New York, Nov. 14.-Secretary
Shaw was at the sub-treasury during
the day to consider the money situa-
ton in Wall street with a view to
determining whether government aid
may be necessary. Secretary Shaw
said that he had discovered no ma
terial change in the financial situa-
ton since Saturday, when he said he
would not take any measures for re-
lief Of the money market under con-
litions then prevailing. He says that
he still adheres to that determination.
Secretary Shaw, in explaining his
visit to New York, said:
"You may say that there is duff
fer at Washington who is trying to
keep posted on conditions and who is
in sympathy with the United States"
"How about Wall street?" he was
asked.
wall street is not the United States
Of America by any means" replied the
secretary, with a broad smile.

Plants That Take Plus.

A very large and sturdy orange tree
was growing in small pot. IF that
nee,' said the florist, didn't take pills
1t would require pot as big as a
bathtub to grow in. But it takes pills
like hypochondriac. Chemists, agri-
cultural experts, make plant pills
pills no bigger than chestnuts that con-
tain sustenance for six months, kind
of tabloid food. These chemists an
alyze plants ash and make pills Of
the constituent salts. The pills, in
closed in metal cover, are buried in
the earth at the plants roots, and the
salts gradually dissolve and diffuse
through the metal, giving the plants
day by day the sustenance that they
require. Pills are also applied to weak,
sickly plants, which they help wonder
fully"

An Odd Ceremony.

Colchester is England's great oyster
fishery, and so much of the wealth and
fame of the place is derived from the
industry that the season is opened with
much ceremony. The city fathers sail
to the fishing ground, and the mayor
formally assists in raising the first
dredge Of bivalyes. Afterward, in full
f1llment of an ancient custom, there Is
luncheon, at which the distinctive
luxury is gingerbread washed down
with raw gin, combination which,
London paper assumes, will fix the
event in memory for several days"

Checking q Cold.

One Of the best and simplest means
Of checking cold at its onset is to
drink in bed glass of hot, not warm,
water In which have been placed the
Juice Of a lemon, three or four Jumps
Of sugar and large teaspoonful Of
pure glycerin. This dose should be
slipped as hot as possible after the pa
tent is in bed. Taken thus it will
probably induce flow of perspiration
which will throw off the cold. The
simplicity of this remedy is only equal
ed by its great efficacy. AS with other
remedies, its chance of working com
plete cure is increased IL applied at
the beginning of the complaint.

J. ADAM BEDE SAYS 1T WILL BE
BATTLE CRY OF NORTHWEST.
ERN CONGRESSMAN.
HOPES EXTRA SESSION WILL Be HELD
DECLARES ENTIRE PEOPLE OF
THIS SECTION ARE IN FAVOR
OF THE MOVEMENT.

Chicago, Nov. 14-The Record-Her-
aid says:
Canadian reciprocity" is to be the
battle cry with members of congress
from the Northwestern country dur
ing the coming session of congress.
If President Roosevelt calls the Six
tieth congress into extraordinary ses-
sion on March 4 next then the fight
for the issue which James ]. Hill
made so predominant before the Mer.
chants club Saturday night. will be
taken up with renewed energy.
This was the word which Repre-
sentative j. Adam Bede, from the
Eighth Minnesota district, has brought
to Chicago.
"Mr. Hill undoubtedly has sounded
the keynote of the situation so far as
we in the Northwest look at the mat
ter" said Mr.. Bede. "Mr. Hill, if he
were to back individuals For political
preferment, might come to grief, but
when he asserts so reasonably and so
ably the conditions existing in the
great Northwest he has the backing
solidly of the entire people.
There have been those of u.s." con-
tinued Mr.. Bede, "who have advocat-
ed Canadian reciprocity for many
years. The serious drawback which
we encounter and which we shall en-
counter in the coming winter will be
that the Canadians have been stead
lily growing and from province have
evolved into nation. It is very pos
sible, not to say probable, that the
same state of mind regarding reci-
procity does not exist among the Ca
nadians as prevailed some years ago."

the cost of construction in an attempt
to disprove the railroads claim that
because of high operating and main
tenance expenses it would be impossi-
BILE to operate with a profit under the
Kansas freight rate law. Mr.. Stubs
said it did not cost at the very out
side figure more than $4,000 a mile
to construct the Burlington lines in
Kansas. The improvements in the
way Of ballasting and heavier steel
would, he thought, bring the cost of
constructing the main line up to $685.
