OPEN UP CITY LOTS.
Interurban Has Beneficial Effect
On Property.

T. B. Garretson, who has piece OF
plated land through which the inter
urban line runs, lying east of M
street and between the Burlington
and the Rock Island tracks, is making
improvements on the same to make
them marketable. South Of the inter
urban and facing M street the lots
are high, sloping rapidly to the east.
These he will cut down, using the ma
terial for me filling of the low places
and the change will make some valu-
able property. The property owned
by Mr.. Garretson and other lots in
the vicinity will soon be in demand as
building spots on account Of the near
ness to the interurban and to the
city. The interurban will open a
number Of similar tracts Of land,
making them directly accessible to
the city. Buyers have already begun
looking for home sites along the line
of the new road.

TEMPERANCE WOMEN GATHER
Drink and Drugs Denounced by Mrs,
Stevens at Hartford.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 26.-"No one
capable of reading and understanding
need be ignorant of the dangerous
character of cocaine and absinthe and
we should be alert to prevent their
sale by those who, for financial gain,
do not hesitate to dispense these
poisons. These dealers are near re-
latives to the liquor sellers-in fact,
they are often one and the same. If
all the money wasted for strong drink
were spent to provide good homes and
home comforts the child labor prob
lem would much more easily be solved.
This is true to great extent of the
labor problem in its broader sense"
These were statements in the ad-
dress of Mrs. Lillian H. N. Stevens
of Portland, Me-, here, who as presi-
dent opened the thirty-third annual
convention of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance union at Par
sons, theater Friday. g.
More than $50 delegates from all
parts of the United States were pres
ent. Delegates from Austria, Japan,
England, Greece, and other countries
also were on hand.

THRILLING RESCUE Ar SEA
SIGNAL FIRE SPREADS, ENDAN-
eERlNc LIVES OF MEN.
Standard Oil Boat Runs Alongside
Burning Boat and Saves Crew. One
of Whom Commits Suicide.

New York, Oct. 27.--A thrilling
story OF the rescue of half dozen
mep in the recent storm OFF the Flori-
da keys and the subsequent suicide OF
a captain was related by Capt. Ru.
dolph Rubelli, of the Standard Oil
company's steamer Captain A. M. Lu-
cas-, which arrived here Friday. after
the most tempestuous voyage of her
career.
The rescued men were fishermen,
whose houseboat had been swept to
sea by the gale.
The plight of the fishermen was
called to the attention Of Waterman
on the Lucas during the height OF
the storm by signal fire which they
were burning on top of their house
boat.
Before assistance could be sent to
the men. the signal fire had spread to
the houseboat and the men were in
constant danger of being burned to
death.
There was no time to lower small
boat, and so the steamer was run
alongside the burning houseboat and
the men were rescued.
On October 20 the sea quieted and
the trip was continued without Incl.
dent until Tuesday. Then Albert Mel.
son, whose homo is in Brooklyn, sud.
denly jumped up from the dinner ia,
BILE, screamed out, Il can stand this
no longer!" ran to the rail and
jumped into the sea. His mind, it was
said, had become deranged. A boat
searched the sea for some time, but
no trace of Nelson was found.

EIGHT-HouR DAY IS UPHELD
Government Wins First Case Against
Contractors on Federal Work.

Cincinnati, Oct. 27.--The first
test Of the federal eight-hour day law
ended in victory for the govern
ment here Friday. After being out
only fifteen minutes the Jury in the
United States court found the Sheri'
dan-Kirk Contracting company guilty
of violating the law in the construc
ton of the big Ohio river dam al
Fernbank, nine miles below this city
The determination of the penalty will
come later. The law provides for q
fine not exceeding $1,000. :.
The trial occupied the United States
court all day and was hotly contested
by the defense. Managers of EN-,
ployment agencies testified that ii
was impossible to get men iJr the
pay that would be given them for an
eighthour day.
Several weeks ago over 200 of the
company's men did not appear for
duty and the company was rendered
practically helpless. Before the gov
ernment decided to make test case
80S workmen on the dam and locks
were permitted to work as many hours
as they pleased. The majority worked
from ten to twelve hours per day and
were paid at the rate of 20 cents per
hour. No sooner had the hours been
cut than the laborers began to leave,
claiming that they could make only
81 60 a day on the dam and could
make more elsewhere

THE GOLDEN GLOW.

Gay old times in this region. Mill lions are being tossed around as the iuggler losses, his balls and things. Men are getting rich over night, or sooner, and there is a golden glow all about. What's the use of working, when it is so easy to work somebody? Whats the use of taking four dollars Q week when four millions minute can be got? Whats the use of preach ing careful economy and strict hon. esty in the face of the glorious suc- .eesses of high finance? Not much, we fear, and yet in the long run 1t will be found that honest toll for honest dol- lars is a pretty good thing, that it is about the only thing most men can find success in, and that it is danger ous for most men to get the notion that they are or can be high finan- ciers.
 Let us plod humbly along and as contentedly as may be. We shall all get there by and by, and when we do we may find that the worship of the golden calf is not as prevalent and popular there as it is here.

TLATTERTNG, BUT FALSE.

"Theres nothing true but Heaven" So says the poet, and so say or think many who don't find the things of the earth very true. It now appears from the talk of a mirror-maker that even the reflections of a mirror may not be true Dressmakers and milliners, he says, require mirrors of all sorts They need, for example, mirror that makes one look taller and thinner, When they dress a fat, short patron in one of their new hats or suits they lead her to this mirror, and she is so surprised and pleased with the change for the better in her looks that straight off she buys. For masseurs I make mirror that, like retouched photograph, hides blemishes, wrinkles, scars. The mas seur takes the wrinkled face of some rich old woman, steams 1t, thumps it, pinches it, and smacks it for an hour, and then holds up to it the mirror that gives blurred blemish-hiding refec- tion, The woman thinks her wrinkles are gone, and is happy till she get5 home to her own true mirror. Alto- gether I make some twenty varieties of false mirrors. Statesmen and sales women in millinery and dressmaking establishments can double and quad ruple their business if they are quick and delft in their selection of the mir TOT that fiatters each patron best"
 How's that? By and by they will be putting masks on children, we suppose.

4 GOOD MEASURE OF VALUE.

The Philadelphia Ledger is a good old paper with a good circulation among good people. It has something to say about advertising which is as true as preaching, and well worth the attention of advertisers every where An advertisement 1t says, carried to one hundred people who can pay for what they want and whose wants are widened by their habits and opportunities is certainly worth more than If carried to ten thousand in the slums, or to the shiftle3s, to those whose earnings are limited to the ex- penditures for the barest necessities of life. What boots it to make offerings to numberless thousands if these thousands earn only enough to pay for a meagre living? Circulation number alone is the slenderest claim to profit able advertising. That circulation is an advantage goes without saying, but it must not be mere numbers. A wholesale distribution in back alleys or in districts whose inhabitants have no surplus to spend is valueless to the ad- verttser, Advertising to produce re- suits must, of course, be read by those who can buy. It is vastly more valua- ble to the advertiser to know that such readers are reached than to know how many.
 This could hardly be better put. The advertiser who measures the value of advertising by circulation figures only doesn't measure right.

ITALIAN EMIGRATION.

The Italians are leaving their coun- try in such numbers that it is a serious matter, which is affecting Italy in many ways. Professor Villari, an ex- pert in such matters, has been lecturing at Rome on Italian emigration. Among other things he said that it had been observed in the provinces of Udlne and Belluno that the money sent home by the emigrants tended to the increase of alcoholism and tuberculosis, while the number of alcoholic lunatics was growing. From the beginning of the spring to the end of the autumn almost all the men of that country were ab- sent, and the work of the fields was left to the women, to the great injury of their health and of their children. Emigrants who went for five or six years to America returned with a good sum of money, but, in order to obtain it as quickly as possible, they were willing to undergo all sorts of priva- tions in unhealthy climates, and fre- Quently came back with ruined health
 These returned emigrants generally bought field and built house. The value of land was increased by their often paying twice or three times it's value; the wages of peasant laborers rose; but agriculture made little prog ress, since these small proprietors had neither the capital nor the knowledge to make improvements. In the south ern provinces the emigrants in lS94-6
