Our Zurich correspondent informs
us that an interesting exhibition has
been opened there demonstrating the
conditions under which the Swiss
poorer classes work and the wages
they earn. with special reference to
the sweating" at home, says the
London Globe. These people. who
work in their own homes, number $780,
900. three-fourths of whom are wom-
en- and children. Their earnings are
shockingly low-in some cases as lit
tie as four centimes an hour are paid
to straw workers, while the average
pay in other industries is: Silk weav-
ers, seven centimes an hour; linen
weavers, IL centimes, glove makers,
~ centimes; wood carving, 81 cen.
times; watch-makers, SO centimes.
The exhibition also contains models
of the homes in which these people
work, showing the unhealthy condi'
tions and overcrowding. The pro
moters confidently expect that the ex.
hibition will stop the sweating and
put the law in motion.

WALKS IN SLEEP IN TUNNEL
Young Woman snatehed from Death
Just Before Fast Express
Train Dashes BY.

London-An exciting incident took
place the other day on the London &
Northwestern railway line near Crewe,
A young woman, aged about twenty,
was seen wandering up and down the
approach to the underground tunnel
on the Liverpool line. She was hys'
terical and in great distress, and she
had apparently been walking in her
sleep, as she had on only her night
dress.
Suddenly she was seen to run into
the tunnel young man on the
bank let himself down with a rope
and pursued her. Ropes were placed
under her waist and she was drawn
up to a place of safety.
Had It not been for the timely res
cue she must have been knocked down
and run over by an express which
passed a moment later.
II appears that she resides In 9
house on the railway embankment. A
bedroom window was found opened
and it is supposed that she got up il
her sleep and got on to the railway.
She appears unable to give any com
prehensive account of her movements

LOW coLoNlsT FARES TO THE

Union Pacific Passenger Depart

will be in effect from Sept. 10 to Oct
10, 1909. to all points in the West and
Northwest.
This year the West looks more
promising than ever. Now Is the time
to secure land at low prices, and, at
the same time, TO visit the many inter
esting points in the West and North
west, at which liberal stopover ar
rangements may be made.
A better estimate of raw lands can
be made now than formerly, because
these lands are in proximity to new
farms that are producing wonderful
crops.

The continental countries will soon
learn that the habit of permitting the

The trip over not only costs money but
represents loss of time to those wage
earners who are refused admission
here. The man who gives up his Job
on the other side and is sent back dis
turbs labor conditions by his unex

be wise for the nations across the At

Spain in suppressing the revolt in

which challenges the liberalism of rep
resentative government, as well as the

BARREL OF LIQUOR
IS CAUSING TROUBLE
is HELD BY SHERIFF WHILE VA.
RIoUs ORDERS ARE WORKING,
Condcated as Property Of Ben stiles.
But Ordered Shipped by In.
structinon of Court.

A barrel of whiskey and a compli.
cation of orders in the hands Of
Sheriff P. G. Ramsey is getting that
Official into all kinds of entangled
predicamepts, especially since THE
transportation companies have refused
to permit Sheriff Ramsey to fulfill the
instructions of the court.
AT the last term of the Circuit
Court Ben Stiles, an aged white man
OF Newberry, was arraigned upon a
charge of selling liquor, when he plead
guilty, but in consideration Of the
fact that Stiles had been giving the
authorities previous trouble along the
same line, sentence was suspended
with the understanding that the de-
PENDANT leave Alachua county, never
to enter its borders to reside again.
This ruling suited Mr., Stiles, who
agreed to leave Immediately. But he
explained to the court that he had
barrel of whiskey, in assorted quarts.
pints and half pints, which was the
property of q Jacksonville whiskey
house, by reason of the fact that he
had not paid for the goods. lie as
sured the court that, should the goods
be returned, proper credit would be-
given him, whereupon the court in.
structed the sheriff to ship the goods
to the designated whiskey firm in
Jacksonville.
So far so good, but the genial
sheriff was confronted by another oh.
stacle When he presented the pack
age to the transportation companies
they refused to handle the same for
shipment, upon the grounds that to
move the package from Alachua coun-
ty they would be violating the law.
Sheriff Ramsey carted the liquor
back to the jail store room, where Il
has since remained
After it was learned that the rail
road companies would not transport
the liquor beyond the limits of the
county, the firm sent an order to
Newberry parties for the goods, the
order being addressed to the sheriff.
It was presented to that official Thurs
day, but, acting under the instruction
of the court to ship the whiskey to
jacksonville, he refused to deliver the
goods on the ground that by so doing
he would violate the order Of the
court.
The sheriff informed the bearer Of
the order that under no circumstances
would he deliver the goods unless
through an order signed by Judge
Wills.
And so the matter stands Sheriff
Ramsey has the whskey and the
original instruction Of the court, and
he says he intends 10 stick 10 both
until he sees the Judges name az
fixed to an order TO deliver the goods
to the Newberry parties.
