There is considerable sickness In

There is considerable comment of a

is certainly a deep and decided demand

If a philosopher would appear with

much truth In this verse:

When it's cool he wants It hot,
Always wanting what is not.

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be we'll
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting Is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead Grade marked with "The
Dutch Boy Painter') there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead is capable of alb
solute test for purity. National Lead
Company, Woodbridge Building, New
York, will send testing outfit free to
any one interested.

STERLING BILL IS PASSED
BOTH PARTIES IN HOUSE UNITE
ON LIABILITY MEASURE.
Only Ono Negative Voye-Senate
Passes Army Bill, Carrying Appro
priation Of Nearly $1oo,0oo,ooo.

Westinghouse truce between the
Democrats and Republicans was for a
time declared Monday when under
suspension of the rules the house took
up for consideration and passed the
Sterling employers liability bill. The
Democrats broke out into loud ap-
plause and handclapping when the
reading of the measure had been con-
Guided. Mr.. Sterling of Illinois ex.
planned the provisions of the bill, the
main features Of which have been pub.
lished. Mr.. Sterling stated that the
bill would be applicable to interurban
car lines between states and street
railroad lines in the territories and the
District of Columbia.
The Democrats applauded Mr..
Henry Of Texas when he said the bill
was meritorious and constitutional
would be recorded against it. In the
opinion of Mr.. Littlefield the section
If the bill relating to actions at law

vote resulted: Yeas, 800; nays, /; not

cast by Mr.. Littlefield. :
The house Monday passed the bill

The army bill, carrying an appropri.

PASS LIABILITY BILL
SENATE PASSES MEASURE AS
RECEIVED FROM HOUSE.
AMENDMENTS VOTED DOWN
AS Passed the Measure Is Expected to
Meet Approval Of Supreme Court
--DolIiver Substitute Killed.

Washington, D. c., April 1O.-The
bill relating to the liability of com.
mon carriers by railroad passed by
the house of representatives on April
b, was yesterday passed by the SEN
ate without amendment and without
a division.
The senate bill on the same sub
Ject was not confined to railroads,
but covered all forms of common car
riers and Senator Dolliyer, who had
reported 1t from the committee on
education and labor, sought to substi-
tute it for the house bill, but his
motion was defeated Numerous
amendments were offered to the bill
but all were voted down.
AS passed, the bill is expected to
meet the objections of the United
States supreme court to the common
carriers liability law of 1896 decided
to be unconstitutional by the court.
The bill also abolishes the strict
common law liability which bars a
recovery for personal injury or death
of an employee occasioned by the neg
ligence of fellow servant. 1t also
releases the common law rule which
makes contributory negligence a de.
tense to claims for such injuries, and
permits an employe to recover for
an injury caused by the negligence
of a co-employe. The bill does not
bar recovery even though the injured
one contributed by his own negli-
gence to the injury. The amount of
the recovery is diminished in the
same degree that the negligence of
the injured one contributed to the in
jury.
During the discussion of the meas.
ure there were extended references
to campaign contributions by rail.
road men and especially to the Harri.
man contribution to the republican
campaign fund in 1904.
