Sell ItseIf Cheap.
There is small comfort for the work
ers who have secured by strenuous eff
forts the passage Of a law reducing the
number of hours OF their labor by for
bidding their employers TO require
more to be told by the courts that the
constitution guarantees them the
right TO work fourteen hours when
they want to work eight and that the
statute which they had secured by 50
much effort is unconstitutional because
il interferes with their freedom OF
contract"
The right the laberer sought by bis
statute was the right to leisure, The
right the court so often guarantees
him in its stead and by its destruction
Is the right to work unlimited hours
under the stern laws Of necessity. The
right to work harder and longer than
be desires or than humanity should re-
quire is called property right. and
the statute taking away that right is
one. they declare, which takes away
liberty or property without due proc
ess of law

Cowley, 10 years old, who lived with
her parents in farmhouse near here,
was shot and killed instantly early Sum
day morning by Cleveland Longcore, ri
years old, her rejected sutton. To get
the girl ont of the house he set it afire,
and ii burned to the ground. After kill
ing Miss Cowley, Longcore went TO his
own home, three miles away, and blew
out lis brains.
L0ngcore had been an ardent admiref
Of Miss CowIey He found recently that
there was no chance for him to win her.
Last Friday night the barnsof the Cow
Ieys was fired, but the daughter was not
at home that night Sunday morning
she was asleep with her parents III the
| farmhouse when the father was awaken
ed by the smell of smoke and the crack
ling of burning timbers. As the daugh-
ten left the house she saw Longcore pass
through the glare Of The flames into a
shadow
"Why, there's Clever she called to
her father But lit that time none Of
the Cowleys had a suspicion that he
had burned their home. Father, mother
and daughter rushed in and out Of the
burning building trying 10 save as much
of their goods as they could. As the
daughter left the house, burdened with
as much as she could carry, and started
for the road with the belongings, Long
core Strengthened up from behind
flower bush and with q gun shot the girl
dead.
The father rushed toward Longcore,
aud Longcore drew revolver, firing
twice at him. Neither Of the bullets
| hit Mr.. Cowley. Longcore then went
away.
lsongcore had been paying attention to
Miss Lowley for 4 year There was
nothing held against him, save that he
was not industrious, and that he was
hot of temper.

RICHMOND PEOPLE EACH
YEAR SPEND 100000 WITH
THE PENNSYLVANIA.
REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1905
100000 Taken in by Passenger De.
partment and 100000 by
Freight Officials.

y -
When people read OF the gross re
ceipts, Of railroad, the figures run
ming into Re millions, they do moi
thinlssof thaspart that is contributed
by Richmond people to the. vast sun
which goes tos.Ym make things CO.
each year on thearailroads.
IN the. report which will be sum
mittsd befose the send Of this month
for,fhe year Of 1905, it is found that
q slips.ifl excess Of 300, 900 has been
turned oyet from the ticket Office. OF
the Pennsylvania III Richmond alone.
TIE. exact. figures ale. not given out
by the officials, but it was stated that
the gain over the previous year
amounted to several thousands of
dollars. In 1904, the money taken in
at the Pennsylvania passenger sta
ton was but few hundreds under
the 100000 mark but the annual re-
port Of last year shows figures much
in excess of those Of 1904.
The freight department, while it
costs less to operate and is really the
mony-making department Of Rad,
always takes in more money than
does the passenger Office. In 1905,
between 100000 and $40O, 900 pass
d into the hands of the Pennsylvania
railroad company in this city alone;
being the annual amount paid by
manufacturing concerns to have their
goods shipped to different parts Of
the country. But small part of this
money came from the shipment Of
small packages, belonging to individ-
uals, as most Of this business goes
to the express companies.
Besides the amount Of passenger
and freight receipts, a small percent
of passengers pay cash fares on
board the trains, which would swell
the total amount several thousand
dollars. Richmond people pay,
therefore, over half million dollars
annually to the railroads. I'm taxes,
the county received over $4,000, and
a large percent of the remainder goes
to employees of the road in wages,
although definite figures concerning
the exact amount are not made pub
lie.
