ably on the law now in force in lll1- nois, which provides that any child between the ages of 14 and 16 years. who is not at work, shall be at school and said that it had worked splendid | ly for the prevention of juvenile crime. She also said that since the passage in Illinois of the eight hour provision for children the factories had discharged 80 per cent of their children workers and that these are now swelling the schools. An en- couraging feature of the restrictions of woman labor in that state is ~ that many girls who are not able to get factory positions are now applying for household positions. Miss Welles said that in New York there is pro- vision which is very useful in enforc- ing the eight hour day for children by stating that children may not be employed before 8 o'clock in the morning or after 5 in the afternoon.
 Miss Welles spoke at length of the use by manufacturers of the league label. She said that there is some prejudice against it because it savors of union methods, but that members could promote its use by demanding it on the very finest classes of goods and helping in the advertising of goods bearing it. -,
 The evening school law is also at- tracing the attention of the league. This provides that all children unable to speak English shall not be employ ed unless they are attending an even- ing school. Miss Welles said that it was being violated in many parts of the state. After speaking of propc- sition which is being put before tha merchants in this city to close their shops at o'clock, the speaker closed by giving reports on the formatioI of branch leagues in various towns of the state.

MANS FUNCTION.
Consumers League Would Safe Guard .-... Only the Weak.

Q
 Mans social function is hard work" mo eight hour day for him! This is one of the blanks of the plat form of the Consumers League as ex- pounded by the state secretary, Miss Mary Welles, Ph D, at a meeting of the Hartford branch, in the rooms of the Cosmos club Tuesday afternoon On the other hand, the main purpose of the organization is to secure the amelioration of conditions of labor for women and children. Miss Welles made these definitions to refute the accusations of local shopkeepers that I the league with its label and similar devices was like the unions.
 The occasion of Miss Welles' talk was the first fall meeting of the Hart. ford branch, which was called for the purpose of hearing the secretary's s programme for the future work of the league in this state. Miss Welles re- commended that the members worl, to acquaint the state legislators with two bills which it is hoped to bring before the next session. The frs. is that no girl under eighteen years of age shall be employed in factories af- ter o'clock in the evening. In Eng land there has existed for fifty-six years a law much stricter than this, which provides that no woman of any age shall work after that hour. The other bill provides that no child be- tween the ages of IA and 16 years shall work more than forty-eight hours in one week, or more than eight hours in one day.
 Miss Welles also commented favor

success and not upon the errors of its opponents.
 If the rank and file of the party be- lieve that MT. Bryan's nomination will help the party, its principles and its policies he will accept the nomination whether the indications point to defeat or victory. A defeat can bring no dis. grace where the cause is a just one but cowardice would be disgraceful especially in one who is as deeply in, debted to his party as MT. Bryan is.
 Democratic Prospects Bright. ~
 "The next campaign will be an ap. peal to the public conscience. The in vestigations have shown not only the corrupt use of large campaign funds, but the only source from which they can be drawn-namely, the corpora tions that seek to convert the govern ment into business asset. The Dem ocratic party stands for the doctrine of equal rights to all and special priv, ileges to none and therefore cannot promise favors to favor seeking cor porations. If it made such promises to the corporations it would be guilty of duplicity. for it would have to be- tray the voters, as the Republican par ty has done, in order to reward these corporations as the Republican party has rewarded them.
 "No one can estimate the chances of the party in the next campaign with sufficient accuracy to make his candi- dacy dependent upon the outlook. The Democrats have reason to be en- couraged by the fact that Democratic principles have grown in popularity and that Democratic policies are now praised by many who denounced them a few years ago, and the further en- couragement is to be derived from the fact that the Democratic party is more united than it has been for many years and the Republican party more divid- ed"

MRS. BRADLEY IN TEARS.
Sobs In Court as Maid Tells How Ex.
 Senator Brown Was Shot.

senator 6FoWn was Snot,
 Washington, Nov. 15.-With the com. pletion of the jury the trial of Mrs. Annie M Bradley for the murder of ex-Senator Arthur Brown of Utah was actually begun. When court adjourn ed twelve of the governments thirty two witnesses had been examined. Should the case hereafter proceed with similar dispatch no doubt the trial will be concluded within two weeks.
 One of the most dramatic incidents of the day came while Josephine Kid well. maid at the Raleigh, was on the stand. Miss Kidwell testified that she was making up' 26S when Mrs. Bradley came to the door and asked when "the gentleman" would be back She replied that she did not know, and Mrs. Bradley went into the room and sat down for about five minutes. Short ly after 2 o'clock that day the maid was in room 267, next to Browns. when she heard two pistol shots from the next room. She was asked to rap on the table With a gaVel and show just how far apart the shots seemed to be. She rapped sharply, and in about three seconds rapped again.
 This proved too much for Mrs. Brad ley Her head went down on her hands, and the tears streamed down her cheeks as she sobbed at the recol- lection of the tragedy. It was some time before she was able to regain her control, only to be overcome again as the pistol with which she shot Brown was introduced in evidence. Mrs. Bradley seemed on the verge of col lapse She looked up with sigh of relief when Judge Stafford ordered the noon recess. Insanity will be Mrs. Bradley's defense.

 Buffs,o Bill.
 New York, Nov. 15.-Howard Gould, the second son of the late financier, Jay Gould, was unmercifully scored in court by Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould, when he outlined his defense in the di- vorce action which Mrs. Gould has brought against him.
 MT. Gould, through his attorneys, Nicoll, Anable X Lindsay, declared that his wife had been guilty of mis- conduct with Colonel William F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, some years before her marriage.
 In support of his defense MT. Gould's attorney wished to take the testimony of Miss Helen Mar of London. who has appeared on the stage and is known as public reader. They charged that Mrs Gould some twelve years ago made a confession to Miss Mar that her conduct with Colonel Cody had been meretricious and criminal.
