RAILROAD STRIKE
IN ITALY

Rome, Dec. 31.--A lengthy MEM
orial, signed by over $4,000 Italian
railroad workmen, members of the
Amalgamated Society of Italian
Hallway Employees, will be present
ed to the government tomorrow, de-
manding the concession of an eight
hour day and one entire days rest
weekly in all departments Of the
service. Accompanying the petition
is an ultimatum, allowing parlia
ment three months in which to open
negotiations with the men for re-
dress of their grievances, and an ad-
ditional three months in which to
put the reforms into effect. If these
demands are not complied with, Of
ticials OF the Amalgamated society
declare that they will call a general
strike which will tie up every rail-
road line in Italy
In an interview in a Rome news
paper, Signor 1talo Giannini, head
of the railroad mems union, de-
c1areS that the roads are being mis-
manged and that the men are so
overworked and the conditions OF
their labor SO arduous that the sick
list averages twenty days for each
man annually. In the agitation two
years ago for a shorter wornday
and better conditions of labor, most
of the office employees, telegra Dll
operators and station agents We're
against the men, but since than
time practically the entire clericai
stats Of all roads have joined tn"
union and are now working with
the employees in nndeavoring to eff
feet reforms
The actual working day of rain
crews on Italian railways is now
twelve hours a day, but it is not in
frequent for men to be renuire" tc
work from fourteen to eighteen
hours at q stretch. The men are
paid only for the schedule time OF
their runs, but as trains ar, near'y
always several hours behinl time.
owing to poor executive manage
rent and inferior rolling stock, the
workmen are paid for only por-
ton OF the time actually employed
In Fulfilling their duties.

your skin. Sometimes it is the symptom
or forerunner of much more serious skin

Eczema, Eryspelas, Ringworm and other

"HAPpY NEW YEAR FOR A CAKE"

for holding the supply Of cakes and
the other dainties which were some
times added. Each house where milk
was left helped ill the bushel basket.
At about 10 o'clock Ia the morning
the men began to make their calls aft
er making the most elaborate toilet OF
the year. A previous acquaintance
was not necessary for one to make
calls. 1t was the one day of the year
when every home was open to every
body without regard to birth or posi-
ton. The last day Of the old year
was spent by the women Of the family
in preparing dainty CONNECTIONS. solid.
rich cake, and in the morning the
choicest old wine was brought up from
the cellar. and hot rum toddy was
made. rum toddy being the official New
Years drink in the Mohawk valley.
The Dutch partook sparingly of the
wine and toddy at each house. and. al
though nearly all the men were mel
low" by the time the festivities ended
at midnight. no one was drunk. There
was one exception to this rule. The
farm hands were usually dead to the.
world by noon and so out of the way
Of their betters.
But all this charming hospitality and
the delightful customs were made i'm
possible generation or more ago by
the outsiders Of other nationalities than
Dutch. who 6ocked to the larger towns
Of the valley and turned the day Of
Hospitality into q day Of drunkenness.
Now Yo1k Times.

MANY ARE
NOW RELIEVED
Tremendous Popularity OF
the Vegetable "Prescrlp
ton" in This City, Says a
Druggist.
NOTHING LIKE THIS
No Sufferer OF Kidney Or Bladder
Troubles or Rheumatism Should
= Leave It Untried-Can Be Prepared
Easily by Anyone.

That the readers of this paper ap-
preciate advice when given In good
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one well-known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
vegetable prescription" many times
within the past two weeks. The an
nouncement of this simple harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many
cases of kidney complaint and rheu-
matism here, relieving pain and mis-
cry, especially among the older popu-
1ation, who are always suffering more
or less with bladder and urinary trou-
hles. backache and particularly rheu-
nlatiSm.
Another well-known druggist asks
MS to continue the announcement or
the prescription. 1T is doing so much
real good here, he continues, that it
would be a crime not to do so. It
can not be repeated too often, and
further states many cases of remark
able cures wrought.
The following is the prescription, OF
simple ingredients, making a harm
less, inexpensive compound, which any
person can prepare by shaking well in
a bottle: Fluid Extract Dandelion,
onehalf, ounce; Compound Kargon
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa
rilla, tire ounces. Any first-class
drug store will sell this small amount
of each ingredient, and the dose for
adults is one teaspoonful to be taken
after each meal and again at bedtime.
There is enough here to last for one
week, if taken according to directions.
Good results will be apparent from the
first few doses.

NO FAVORS
FOR CLERGY

Chicago, Dec. 31.-The half fare
permits Of between $4,000 and 1907
600 clergymen, issued by western
railroads, expire today and will not
be renewed. After midnight to-
night, not single clergyman's GER
titicate will be issued by any rail-
road between Chicago and the
Rocky Mountains with the possible
exception of a few roads in Louisi-
ana and Texas. The Transconti-
mental Passenger Association will
continue to issue half-rate per-
mits to clergymen, so long as the
passenger rates are not reduced in
the states Of Colorado, Montana,
Arizona and the states west to the
Pacific coast.
The withdrawal of the clergy
mems rates, which necessitated the
maintenance Of expensive clergy bu
reaus, will reduce the expenses of
lne western passenger ASSOCIATION
almost rs per cent and will make
the expense come within $4,000
year.
The action of the railroads is in
line with the announced policy of
Withdrawing AL privileges in states
where two-cent fare laws have been
passed by the legislatures.

HUHES TO
URGE REFORMS

Albany. n. Y, Dec. 81 -A1emo Der.
Of the new Legislature are begin
ming to arrive in Albany today and
are almost universally of the opin-
ion that the coming session will be
one of the most interesting and I'M
portant in the legislative history of
sage Of Governor Hughes will be
OK exceptional interest, owing to
his boom for the Republican prcsi-
Dental nomination. It is known
that he will recommend, other
measures. stricter laws for banks
and trust companies. state institu-
tional reform, primary election re-
form and amendments in the pub
lie service law. The governor has
recently inspected all the state in
situations and will advocate in his
message many important changes in
their administration and control.
For some time leaders In charitable
and philanthropic work have advo-
Gated such reforms, declaring that
some OF the charitable institutions
as at present conducted are made
quate. The governor will also urge
the legislature to so amend the
public service commission law so as
to remove some Of the inconsistent
and obscure provisions that now
hamper the commissioners in their
work. The efficiency of the COM
mission has been greatly impaired
by uncertainty as to certain import
ant sections of the law. Another
lively tilt is expected in the aegi,Ia-
ture on the Travis bill. which fail
ed OF passage at the last session. 1t
provides for permissive direct nom
nations at primaries. The upstate
Republican leaders who led the
fight in the last legislature have not
changed their attitude and will con-
tinue to ppose the measure.
