BLAZE IN eRlscoM's HOUSE.
American Ambassador to Rome Is
Scorched BY Flames.

Rome, April While Lloyd C..
Griscom, the American ambassador,
and Mrs. Griscom were returning from
the Easter services at the American
church Sunday, they saw smoke ris-
ing from the roof of their home, the
Palazzo del Drago. Mr. Griscom hur-
riedly entered the building and found
the servants were unaware that the
palace was on fire.
The ambassador led the way to the
attic Flame burst forth as he opened
the door and burned his hand and
singed his eyebrows. When the fire
men arrived the beams. which were
put in place centuries ago, were burn
ing briskly. The roof over the attic
collapsed, causing the center portion
of the ceiling Of the magnificent ball
room to fall. The furniture and paint
ings were quickly removed, but not
before several of the latter, notably
one of President Roosevelt, were
damaged.
After working two hours the fire.
men succeeded in checking the blaze.
The loss is estimated at $4,000 and
is covered by insurance.

Women and Smoke.

A young Chicago woman aslires to
be smoke inspector. She says the
smoke nuisance is serious, and she
does not see why women should not
be useful in checking it. The pay
does not attract her, but the oppor.
tunity to do good. II she can pass
civil service examination, and there is
no reason to doubt her ability, there
viii be no legal obstacle in the way of
her appointment. The average wom-
an as smoke inspector would put into
her work a degree of devotion and
zeal which a man is incapable of, says
the Chicago Tribune. Where men dis
like smoke, women hate it. 1t dirties
their clothes. 1t smuts their faces.
1t nullifies the labor of the washer.
woman. 1t is abhorrent to them in
a hundred different ways An inspec-
tor of any kind who is not full Of en-.
thusiasm for his work, and who goes
on with it merely to draw his month
Iy pay, never accomplishes much. 1t
is because women have enthusiasm
that they make the best kind of in.
spectors in certain fields of labor.
They are able to see shortcomings ia
which the average man is blind.

Electricity rs a Deadener.

II would be q foolish man who
should run on ahead of present devel-
opment in electricity and plant
stake to mark the limit of its growth.
Before he had swung his maui a score
Of times, progress would have passed
him and he would be erecting sign
post instead of barrier. Electricity
spurts in this seven-league- boots way
because so many minds are interest
I'd in it. The men of brains, whatever
their calling, recognize its potentian-
ties and work toward them. 1t is
used in commerce and manufactures
quite as much as in science. Domes-
tic life claims it as a powerful and

ways, and medicine has found good
In it. DR.. Stephen Leduc, leading
physician of Paris, has whitfield down
the destructive properties of electro
cution to beneficent powers. He has
made the death-chair over into an
operating table for the surgeon. He
destroys sensibility all over the body
by sending mild alternating current
of electricity through the brain. In
this way the patient loses conscious
ness but it is not the old stupor OF
Enesthetics. There is no nausea, Ian.
guor or weakness and absolutely no
effect on the heart The patient be-
comes conscious the moment the cur
rent is shut off and with decidedly
invigorated sensation. This will be as
great boon to the doctors as to the
patient, says the Cleveland Leader.
1t will, or at least should, do away
with the old apologize remark that
the operation was success but the
patient didn't rally" as If the mere
technical part of carving a man up
with butcher-like skill was the end Of

ALL BUILDING IS STOPPED
CARPENTERS OF MINNEAPOLIS
QUIT THEIR WORK.
They Demanded Higher Pay, and Mas.
ter Builders Offered Compromise,
Which Was Rejected.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April Fol
lowing the example of the teamsters,
painters and upholsterers, the carpen-
tiers have walked out and building OPP.
erations all over the city are shut
down temporarily as a result, although
there is no strike. The walk-out Mon.
day followed decision reached at the
meeting of the master builders held
Saturday night.
Labor leaders say that for some
time the carpenters have been asking
for higher wages and the contractors
have been equally positive in their
statements that no higher wages
would be granted.
After some discussion compromise
was offered, and in place of the As
cents an hour that the carpenters ask
ed for, the contractors offered them
42k cents an hour and agreed, if bust
ness warranted it by July /, to raise
their wages to As cents.
The carpenters decided that in case
their demands were not complied with
they would walk out, but many men
had begun work before they learned
that the master builders had decided
not to meet their demands but wished
to make a compromise, and as soon
as they heard of this, the men laid
down their tools and walked out.
About 1,500 men went out, it is rough
ly estimated, although the contractors
assert only half that number are not
working, and that in many cases
union men are still at work.
San Francisco, April 2.-Twelve
hundred laundry workers here and 600
in Alameda county Monday voted to
go on strike when their employers re-
fused to grant them an eight-hour day
and an increase of wages. Nine laun-
dries~here closed down. Only three
laundries agreed to the terms pro-
posed by the union.
Vancouver, B. c., April All car
penters and painters in Vancouver
went On strike Monday and building
operations are at a standstill. Seven
hundred and fifty carpenters attended
a mass meeting where it was decided
to strike until contractors agree to in
crease wages by one dollar per day.

GALUsHA A. GROW DEAD
PENNSYLVANIA STATESMAN Sue
cUMBS TO OLD AGE.
gress-Was the Father of the
Homestead Act.

Binghamton, n. Y, April For
mer Congressman Galusha A. Grow
died at his home in Glenwood, Pa,
Sunday afternoon as result of a gen.
eral breakdown attributed to old age.
Mr.. Grow was elected to congress
from the Wilmot district of Pennsyl-
vania as the youngest member of that
body, in 1851; and after retirement
from public life for nearly 40 years
he reentered the house of representa-
tives as congressman at large from
Pennsylvania IA years ago. When he
retired four years ago, his public SER
vice in the house extended over the
longest period, although not continu-
Gus service, of any man who ever sat
in that body.
During the antebellum days he was
one of the best known men in the
United States and in 1864 he came
within one vote of being nominated

A dozen of more women's colleges,
including Barnard, Wellesley, Vassar
and Bryn Mawr, have formed an inter.
collegiate association of students
whose purpose it is to establish
student government instead of facul.
ty control in all the institutions repre-
sented. Barnard is already practicing
this system and students have almost
everything under their own charge ex.
cept instruction. The plan is said to
be a great success, the girls being
more observant of rules and regula,
tons made by the faculty. And yet
conservative folk will continue to feel
some preference for the old plan Of
putting experienced and mature per.
sons in authority over these young
women.

Best Violin Strings.

The best strings for violins are Of
Italian make and are from the intes-
tines of spring lambs, killed in Sep
TENDER. The process of drying and
bleaching of the woods and strings by
the hot Italian sun, rather than by
the artificial method used in other
countries, accounts in great meas
ure for the superior quality Of both
materials. This intense heat was also
the reason for the slow distillation
of the oils used by the Italian max
ers, which always remained at high
temperature, and the varnish, slowly
soaking into the woods of the violins
beneath the heat Of those Italian sum-
mers, produced, in part, the mellow
ness of tone that gives to a Cremona
instrument it's value, after a lapse OF
200 or more years.-March Circle.

CHAPLAIN is BELLIGERENT.
Peculiar Prayer in the Texas House of
representatives.

Austin, Tex, April 2.-Chaplain
Joyce of the house of representatives,
Monday morning in his regular morn
ing prayer at the opening of the ses-
sion said:
Hundreds of men in the state are
to-day cursing the laws recently enact
ed. Why do they not come and curse
the lawmakers? Perhaps they have
a wholesome fear that their teeth will
be knocked down their threats by the
fists of the smart lawmakers. Hun
dreds of thousands are blessing those
laws; why not bless the men that
passed them?'
The recent enactment of certain re-
form legislation has caused the men,
bers of the legislature to be the sub
jects of considerable criticism.

ASSERTS President
aids THE SOCIALISTS
VICTOR L. BERGER SAYS MR..
ROOSEVELT HAS STOLEN
THEIR IDEAS.
People Are Awakening - Executive
Board of Party Has Classified the
States for Spreading the Doctrine
Plans Lively Campaign.

Milwaukee. April l. - Victor L.
Berger, founder of the Social Demo
cratic party and the man who con-
verted Eugene V. Debs to socialism.
Sunday announced the plans of the
national executive board, of which
he is member, for spreading social
ism into &c states of the union where
interest is now lukewarm.
Mr.. Berger, who is one of the most
thoughtful students in the party, also
makes the statement that President
Roosevelt has stolen many of his
ideas from the Socialists.
''All this recent agitation and I'M
rest" said Mr.. Berger, "ai1d the show
ing up of how corporations run things
is making votes for us and swelling
our membership.
Roosevelt Paving the Way"
"The people are awakening. They
are becoming more liberal, and be-
ginning to understand social condi-
tons better. Why, look at President
Roosevelt. His agitations and ex-
posures are helping us immensely. He
is paving the, way for socialism
While he is not of our faith, never
theless he is helping us. Every time
he shows up the corporations he
makes votes for us. The more he
agitates the better we like it. He is
convincing the people that we know
what we are talking about. He has
even stolen some of our ideas He is
using them. In fact he admits they
are ours.
THE entire country has been divid-
ed into three distinct classes of
states. The first class comprises
those states that do not need national
help. The second class is the list of
states which the national leaders pro-
pose to assist. The third class is the
list of states which for the present
are to be abandoned.
Socialists Classify States.
1.-The states are classified as fol-
lows:
''Class 1. New Jersey, Illinois, Wis
consin, California.
Glass 2. Arkansas, Colorado, Con-
necticut, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Montana, New York, New
Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas,
Vermont, Washington and West Vir-
ginia.
"Class 8. Alabama, Arizona. Della
ware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming"
The scheme of the Socialists is be-
lieved to be the preliminary cam
paign which they are making for the
presidential year. 1t is known that
the leaders figure on taking full adj
vantage of existing conditions in the
next campaign and in this connection
they are denouncing in bitter terms
the recent attack of Col. George Har-
vey, editor of the North American Re-
view and Harper's Weekly, on Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his Charleston adj
dress. 1t is stated here that they may
prepare literature on this subject.

for vice president in place of Andrew
johnson, who became president on
the death of Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Grow was elected speaker of
the house of Representatives in 1861
and occupied that position during the
first two years of the war, until his re-
tirement from congress in 1863
Mr.. Grows greatest public service
was as the father of the homestead
act, through which measure many
million acres of western farm lands
were opened up to settlement by
homesteaders, an act which has been
credited with doing more than any
other one thing for the development
of the great west. He was the last
surviving member of family of six
children. He was never married.

benefit. One evening our grocer was
asking husband how I was and he
urged that l quit coffee and use

work without the least sign Of my old
trouble. I am so thankful for the little
book, The Road to Wellville.' 1t has
done me so much good. / haven't
taken medicine of any kind for six
months and don't need any.
