THE LIVING ROOM.
Il Should at All Times Be 4 "llsahle"
Room.

What to do with the living room iE
q problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as we'll as in name living
room-a liyable room. 1t Is the room
in which the most of our time at
home is spent, the hours we have for
leisure, the time We have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and 1t Is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings OF the
living room should be harmonious IN
color, suitable in texture, and durable
in material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni.
ture out in better relief, are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting, and
Indicate higher degree Of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which We nsSte on when We
apply wall paper,
Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out OF hard
wood floor? Yet, that Is what we
suggest to the imagination when We
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true Roses are all very beaut1-
full. but they were never made to-
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures Of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form of tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately 1t is the only
clean way, and more fortunately 1t is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect $50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use Of darker
colors. Dark green's absorb the light;
light yellows reflect it; browns mod
ify 1t. and so on, through the scale
Of colors. The color scheme or a
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but it Is also
dependent upon the light o. the room.

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Our
Special Correspondent at Madison.

Madison.-The Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St Paul asked the state
supreme court to advance the
eight.hour telegrapher case for ar
gument, but the court has not
yet taken action on the motion. The
court handed down a decision holding
that the Horizon marsh cannot be
drained The court, with Justices
Timlin and Bashford dissenting, re-
versed the order of Judge Dick OF the
lower court confirming the appoint
ment of commissioners TO supervise
the work OF draining the marsh, and
directed that the petition for the APP
pointment of such commissioners be
dismissed The petition was signed
by about $50 owners OF land affected
by the marsh, who have been working
for several years to have their proper
ty drained The court holds that the
draining Of the marsh would impair
the naviga bility of the Rock river and
the Hustisford lake, which would be
an invalid infringement Of the rights
Of a large number OF riparian owners
along those bodies OF water. By stipu
lation the supreme court ordered the
important case of the 500 railroad
against the state railroad commission
which involves the powers of the com
mission to regulate public service cor
| porations, continued until the first sit
| ting Of the next month Nearly all Of
the large railroad companies as wei
as the large public service corpora

100000 survive and the ranks will
thin out as rapidly as II they were

aries. They figure that 10000 Of

Der would survive and at the age of 20

Cooperation In a new form Is bearing
fruit upon the Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis q Omaha railroad. And the example
is being followed by the Chicago & North
western.
The Omaha scheme was suggested by the
management early last winter as a hard
times expedient to carry the company
through without the necessity of cutting
down the working force or It's pay. En-
ployees were called into conferences
through their unions and were asked to
enter into a mutual scheme OF saving. As
described by a writer in Van Norden's
Magazine, these conferences became amaz-
ing experience meetings:
"Gray-haired engineers told how thous-
ands Of tons OF coal were consumed un-
necessarily and shop men told how loco
motives were torn to pieces at a cost Of
from 800 to $500 when the trouble could
have been located by the engineer and the
repair made for a few dollars.
"Yardmen and brakemen told how cars
were smashed almost for the fun Of smash
ing them. Claim agents told how agents
receipted for goods without counting bar
rels and boxes, the company paying for
shortages on shipments which were never
received. Firemen told Of splitting gallons

burned one or two extra tons of coal on
each trip by leaving the doors and vesti-
bule open, while freight-handlers told OF
cars loaded carelessly. dynamite on top OF
eggs, scrap-iron mixed with ohinaware;
sugar rode comfortably with barrels of
oil, ETC.
Reform in all these particulars set in
after the conferences. Result, a saving Of
sl6O.O in January, cutting to s17,Ooo a loss
of SI7T,0 900 in gross earnings. and a further
saving OF $4,000 in February, bringing
about a gain In net earnings. On the
Northwestern lines $4,000 a month is being
saved by fuel care alone. One fireman
showed in meeting how he saved a shovel
full of coal for every mile traveled-a feat
which extended through the system. would
mean all b. itself a $500 gain each month.
There is no reason why such thrifty CO.
operation as this should be confined to
railroad work and wage-saving alone. APP
piled to every industry, it would prove a
mighty force for that preservation of ma
tural resources to which the country is
earnestly called.

SUPREME COURT TAXES WATER CASE.
When the decision adverse to the
city in the water works appraisal case
was handed down by the circuit court
OF appeals at st. Louis The Bee de-
clared 1t to be the duty of the Water
board to go to the court of last resort
to avoid, If possible, subjecting this
city to purchase of the water plant at
an excessive figure. All will agree
that the granting Of the writ of certi-
orari, carrying assurance that the su-
preme court of the United States will
review the entire case, is a matter for
hearty congratulation on the part of
our taxpayers and citizens.
If the supreme court on review
should hold contrary to the circuit
court of appeals it will put the whole
appraisement proceedings back where
they started and give us a chance
either to continue along that line or
to take up negotiations with the own
ers of the water works for, mutual
concessions. Even at the worst.
should the supreme court finally afirm
the decision of the lower court, the
city will have gained valuable time in
which to take its bearings and prepare
for meeting any emergency growing
out Of the water works situation.
Whether there is any use trying to
get together with the water company
people while the supreme court review
Is pending is a doubtful question, al
though we believe it would be better
for all concerned If they could reach
an agreement IN the subjects in dis
pute and stop paying lawyers.

However widely bankers, business
men and politicians "a differ as TO
merits Of the emergency currency law
enacted In the closing hours of con-
gress, there will be general approval
of the creation of a monetary commits
with full authority to investigate
currency conditions and to recommend
to congress such a revision Of the ma
tional currency laws as will permit of
a financial system impervioUs to

The members of the commission are
Senators Aldrich, Allison, Burrows,
Hale, Knox, Daniel, Teller, Money and
Bailey and Representatives Yreeiand,
Overstreet, Burton, Weeks. Bonynge,
Smith (Cal.), Padgctt Burgess and
Pujo.
Some dissatisfaction has already
been expressed that congress did not
provide for the presence on the COM
mission of some private citizens recOg-
nized as experts and economists, but
congress evidently took the position
that its members we're competent to
deal with the subject, particularly as
they have, under the act creating the
commission, full and almost unlimited
authority to summon all witnesses
necessary to an understanding of cur
rency needs and conditions.
Comment will doubtless be caused,
too, by the failure of Speaker Cannon
to name Congressman Fowler of New
Jersey, chairman of the house commit
tee on banking and currency, as a
member of the commission. Mr. Fowler
has been the most radical advocate of
the asset currency plan and has been
so uncompromising and unyielding. in
his position that it doubtless contrib
uted to leaving him off the commits
sion, as no agreement not based on his
plan would be possible with him as a
member of the body.
The new commission has already
organized and a subcommittee is to re-
port a plan of procedure to a full meet
ing about the middle of July. The
developments of the last year in finan-
cial and industrial circles, resultant
from the money stringency,in the east,
and the discussions of the winter in
both branches of congress, have awak-
ened a keen public interest for a gem
eral and intelligent revision of our
currency laws. Numerous remedies
for existing defects have been offered
by bankers associations economists
and members of congress. Arguments
have been presented in favor of an en-
largement of the bond-secured cur
rency plans, a commercial paper Sc
curity for emergency uses, a central
bank Of issues and many other finan-
cial theories, some tried in other coun-
tries and others awaiting the test Of
experiment. Out of this mass of data,
with new testimony to be secured at
hearings, the monetary commission
will endeavor to frame a measure that
will meet the demands of commerce
and the industries, without embar-

Criticisms are already being made
from democratic sources of the liber-
ality of the session of congress Just
ended in appropriations for pensions.
Attention is called to the fact that the
pension bill. carrying about $3.50, OOO,-
900, is the largest on record and the
increase is branded as an "extrava-
gance."
II is true that the pension roll is
at the high water mark. but it must
show a rapid decrease from now on
The appropriation by congress in 1898
was in excess of $15s, 600, 600, due to
legislation increasing the list of eligi-
bles to the roll. Since that time the
appropriations have been reduced until
two years ago, when congress passed
the service pension law. This was re-
garded with economic misgivings, as IL
was known that 1t would mean an ad-
dition to the pension roll. The Increase
was. In fact, comparatively small, and

Some eastern democrats are still

for the democratic nomination. The
Tammany leaders in New York have
out that, with the delegates
already chosen as a basis. they will be
able to block the Nebraskan from con-
troll of the convention. Up to date they
concede $50 delegates instructed for
Mr.. Bryan and admit hat he can get
1873 more, but place his limit at that
figure, 613, or fifty-five votes less than
the required number. These anti
Bryan workers admit that with the
383 votes they hope to control they
will not be able to nominate Governor
Johnson, but they are confident they
can prevent the nomination of Bryan
and force the running of a dark
horse" The statement issued by the
