The states congressional delegation
say the state department may be war
ranted in putting a younger man in

Henry should have had the chance to
resign, and that the delegation SHOULD
have been consulted
The slight is resented also in con-
nection with Franklin d. Hale of Luz
nenburg who is transferred from Char
lottetown to Trinidad. This was a
promotion for Mr.. Hale and means
$1,000 year more in salary. They

MUST PAY sEMI-MoNTHLY
Supreme Court Dismisses Proceedings
Of New York Central

Kingston, N. Y, June 2.-Supreme
Court Justice Belts yesterday upheld
the constitutionality of the provisions
of the labor law requiring cash wage
payments by all corporations to EN-
ployes and weekly payment by all ex-
cept steam surface railroads which
are required to pay semi-montnly. The
decision is in the case of the New
York Central railroad, which sought
to enjoin State Labor Commissioner
John Williams from enforcing the pen
alties of the law. The railroads pro-
ceedings are dismissed, with costs.
Says Justice Belts:
1T may be that in it's zeal to serve
tie public well and to earn dividends
for its stockholders the plaintiff has
neglected to keep it's methods of pay
ing its employees abreast WITH the inn
provements which it has undeniably
effected. 1t may be that some other
way than the historic pay car which
now traverses the road at the end of
every month could be invented if pro-
per ingenuity and study were directed
to that end.
THE plaintiff does cash business,
Every person wno procures a ticket
must pay before he receives it. Its
business of freight is very largely a
cash business, so that it is in pos
ltlon easily to pay cash"

DEN MARK.

"The coffee wagons" constitute an
entirely new institution in Copenha.
gen. That, too, is wholly the work OF
enterprising Copenhagen women, who
propose to have these wagons visit diff
ferent sections of the city where the
labor element is densest and serve
them coffee and cakes at a nominal
price. Bread to the amount Of about
800 crowns will also be handled every
week. BY means of this system not
less than 5000 cups of coffee can be
served In one day. The workingmen
Of the city will certainly appreciate
this. This can buy the coffee and q
piece Of bread for mere pittance and
as this money will be devoted entirely
to keep up the good work the work
ingmen realize that It is something
gotten up wholly In their interest.
The women's building, which will be
erected by the Women's Reading so
ciety of Copenhagen, will be located
on the corner Of Antonio and Gammel-
mont, and will be built at an expend;
ture of 207 900 crowns. This Is merely
a beginning. When everything has
been completed, that is the library
gymnasium and all other accessories,
the building will cost something in the
neighborhood of 100000 crowns. The
corner stone wilt be laid next month
In the presence of the king and large
number Of prominent men and women
from all parts OF the country.
The tourist traffic reached its climax
last month when every hotel and every
available room that was for rent In
the respectable portions of the city
were taken. There were thousands
of tourists In Copenhagen last month
and 1t is safe to say that there have
never before at one time been so many
visitors in the city. The hotel men
have been having a regular harvest
Something that contributed to this i'm
mense number was the fact that the
