Energy and Enjoyment.

A marked feature of mans progress
is indicated by our broadening view
of the value of healthful enjoyment
And it is, indeed, recreation to relax
and give ourselves up to simple
amusements that bring to the active
brain and tired body fresh energy.
Men count it as much duty to give
simple entertainment to their families
as they do to provide them with nee
essary food and clothing, and year
by year we are coming nearer to This
idea of the value of relaxation. With
wise and proper education in
thought, this matter of entertainment
becomes more and more simple, and
gives greater degree of satisfaction.
In the crowds upon our streets and in
the busy centers of all material activ-
fly, one may read in the faces of the
people the story of ambition and
alertness. And. as during the closing
years of a good mans life, when his
work has been successful and he can
look back with pride to days of busy
effort, he allows himself a restful
ease-so we, with all our rush and
hurry that have won us success, will
begin to take to ourselves the quiet
and restful enjoyment of perfected
life.

There are some oddities in Chill
connected with the sphere of woman
that deserve mention, says National

conductors on the street cars. Every,

in the telegraph Offices in city and
country young women are invariably
found as operators. And they do their
work well, too. But to Offset this, in
a Chilean hotel or boarding house,
and in many residences, men do the
work of the chambermaid. American
ladies are always shocked to find that

An Example of UnseIfishness.

A noteworthy example of high-mind.
edness and unselfshness was recently
set by southern woman bearing an
honored name. A resolution was in
troduced in the state senate of North
Carolina providing pension of $500
per month for the by-no-means-rich
widow of the famous General Stone
WALL Jackson. Of it's passage there
would have been little doubt, says
Leslie's Weekly, had Mrs. Jackson
herself not interposed. But she
promptly wrote letter to the senate,
saying that the present state laws
limit all pensions to persoLs who have
not $500 of personal property, and as
she possessed more than that she re-
quested that the bill be withdrawn
and the money it was proposed to
give her be appropriated for the re-
lief of destitute widows of confederate
veterans. Mrs. Jackson's plea was
needed, and now she is held in even
higher general esteem than ever be-
fore.

LOUISVILLE STRIKE
REFUSES TO PATRONiZE THE
FEW STREET CARS THAT
ARE RUN.
Dozen Persons injured-Crowds Drive
Off Non-Union Crews-Operation
of the Suburban Lines Is Given
Up.

Louisville, KY, March 12.-ViOlence
resulting in injuries more or less Sc.
we're to nearly dozen persons; the
feeble and spasmodic operation of
less than 100 cars for a few hours
under inadequate and lukewarm po-
lice protection, and the development
of an apparently general pro-union
feeling on the part of the general pub.
lie marked the second day of the
strike of the union employees of the
Louisville Railway company.
Few if any of the cars operated
Monday were patronized and num-
Der were stoned. AS a general thing,
however, the crowds that thronged
the streets near the car barns won
their point of driving the crews off
the cars by merely surging forward
and ordering the men away.
strike-Breakers Are Imported.
superintendent Funk of the street
railway company denied that any pro-
fessional strike-breakers had been
sent for and stated that all extra
men hired so far were residents of
Louisville and vicinity. He said that
225 men reported for work Monday.
Nevertheless it was learned that about
100 men to take the place of the
strikers have arrived in the city from
towns in Kentucky and Indiana, and
also number from Cincinnati.
Monday was distinctly the strikers
day, as the difficulties of the street
railway company increased after the
first hour the service was attempted.
At one o'clock in the afternoon at
tempts to maintain service within the
city limits were abandoned and three
hours later the suburban lines were
also given up, but the interurban serv.
ice over into Indiana was not inter
fered with.
Suburbanites Kept in Town.
In addition to the great inconveni.
ence to people living in the broad
spread city, about 5000 suburbanites
spent the night in Louisville, owing
to the abandonment of service on
their lines. Clashes between the strik,
ers and their sympathizers and the
police and strike-breakers were nu.
merous during the day and several
people were injured.

TWO JOIN IN EDDY SUIT
SECOND COUSIN AND ADOPTED
SON ARE NEW PLAINTIFFS.
Both Declare They Believe Christian
Science Leader Incapable of
Managing Her Affairs.

Concord, N. H., March 12.-Fred w.
Baker, of EPSON, N. H., a second
cousin of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
and DIR. E. J. Foster-Eddy, of Water
bury, VT, Mrs. Eddy's adopted son,
have become additional parties plain
tiff, as next friends" of Mrs. Eddy,
to the bill in equity brought to secure
an accounting of her property against
leaders of the Christian Science
church
DR.. Foster-Eddy says in his petition
that he has become convinced that
Mrs. Eddy is, and for long time has
been incapable of intelligently con-
Quoting or receiving an account of her
business and property, and that the
same is being managed wholly by the
defendants without giving a proper
accounting thereof"
Fred w. Baker, in his petition, says
that he is a second cousin of Mrs.
Eddy, and that in September, 1896, he
was sent by his employers to examine
and repair and alter certain carriages
of Mrs Eddy. He made known to Mrs.
Eddy his relationship to her, and she
treated him with cordially, inviting
him to remain in her house, which he
did one night. She invited him to
come to visit her with his wife and
children at any time. Mr.. Frye, how
ever, told him that he ought not to
make that visit. During the next three
years he wrote to Mrs. Eddy twice,
offering to avail himself of her invi-
tation to visit her, but he received no
reply, and he believes that she was
not permitted to see either of the let
tiers.
In September of 1905 he said he de-
Eddy. He went to Concord and to
her house, and was refused the privi-
lege of seeing her by Mr.. Frye. He
believes, he said in his petition, that
Mrs. Eddy is virtually prisoner in
her own house; that she is kept Sc
Guided by the defendants, Frye and
others, and that she is not capable,
under all her conditions, of managing
her own business.
John w. Kelly and N. E. Martin,
counsel for the plaintiffs, had an in
terview Monday afternoon with Gen.
Frank S. Streeter, counsel for Mrs.
Eddy, but at it's conclusion the law
yers refused to give any statement to
the press.
Mrs. Eddy sent her carriage Mon
day afternoon for her counsel, former
Congressman Henry M. Baker. Gen.
Baker made a long call at Pleasant
View, and on his return stated that
he had discussed with Mrs. Eddy both
personal and legal matters. He said
that she was in her usual health and
spirits, and while she was concerned
about the pending proceedings he did
not think they would have any injuri-
Gus effect upon her.

YIELD To THE PRESIDENT
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS HEED
RooSEVELT's APPEAL.
Decide to Adopt No Anti-Japanese
Measures at This Session of
the Assembly.

Sacramento, Cal, March 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has again appealed to
the legislature of California to stop
all Japanese legislation. The presi-
dent has sent telegram to Gov. Gill
lette urging that the legislature sus-
pend all Japanese legislation and ex-
pressing the fear that the action Of
the senate Saturday in passing the
two Japanese bills and a resolution
may render ineffective his efforts to
secure exclusion of Japanese laborers
by friendly agreement with Japan.
The governor transmitted the presi-
dents telegram to the assembly Mon
day morning, where action, was to
have been taken Monday on the two
bills and the resolution adopted by the
senate, and message recommending
and uring that the presidents request
be acceded to.
The assembly by viva voce vote
decided to take no action on the bills
on file.
The Presidents Appeal.
The message is as follows:
Action of legislature reported in
this mornings papers most unfortun-
ate in effect upon my efforts to secure
exclusion of Japanese laborers by
friendly agreement, and if continued
will probably render recent legislation
OF congress for that purpose ineffec-
tive. Please secure suspension of fur
ther action until receipt of letter
from me.-Theodore Roosevelt"
The action referred to by the presi-
dent was the passage of the bill linn
iting the ages of children when first
entering primary schools to ten years,
the measure prepared by the Japanese
Korean Exclusion league submitting
the question of Asiatic exclusion to a
vote OF the people, and a resolution
protesting against Japanese naturali
cation.
The message created something O..
a sensation in the lower house. Grove
l.. Johnson arose, expressed his conf
dence in the governor and president,
believed the matter should be left
to them and moved that it be the sense
of the assembly that no action be
taken on the Japanese question at this
session. The motion was carried.

WILL j. DAVIS SET FREE.
Not Punishable For lroquois Fire,
Ordinance Being Defective.

Danville, H., March 11.-Will j.
Davis was freed Saturday of all legal
guilt for the Iroquois theater fire in
Chicago that cost 500 lives on Deem
Der 80, 1908.
Judge Kimbrough, while declaring
that Davis might be morally guilty, de-
cided that he was not legally guilty,
because the Chicago building ordi-
nances were defective.
The jury, so instructed, promptly re-
turned verdict of not guilty, and the
sheriff was directed to set Davis free.
This decision of the court makes it
practically impossible to indict Davis
again.

the electric plants are working.
The public is alarmed at the ease

the electricians, now that they know
their power, may not rest content with
present conditions. 1t is significant
fact that the strike committee is still

notices, more than any other man
since Mckinley. John Hay and JOS

Mark Hanna 5000.
