Official Acts Performed By
Y. s. Commissioner are
Valid.

The impression now existing
that the admission Of The state
to the Union had operated to eff
feet the abolition of the Office Of
y. S. Commissioner is a wrong
one.
The office Of u. S. Commits
sioner has been in no way af-
fected by the admission Of the
state and official acts performed
by such Commissioners are as
valid now as they were at any
time in the past.

Many man lays his failure to

dog" it at Hawthorne. Isn't
that a lovely thought.
Famous April and all the year
around jokes; The St. Louis Am
erican league ball team and
William Ranoften Hearst.
Another famous April joke:
The one just pulled.
Twenty-one men arrested for
gambling in rear of a restaurant
at HOS S. Halsted street. They
were playing with Russian cards,
talking Yiddish, and there was
$120 in American money on the
table. Detectives couldn't find
out what the game was.
1t is estimated there were
1000 "dry" sermons preached in
Illinois churches yesterday.
Meaning that the ministers ad-
vocated prohibition, and not
what you think.
One of the funny things about
politics in Chicago is the awful
interest the newspapers take in
the people just before an election
and how little they care for the
people after. the votes are cast.
The other papers say there is a
break in the Hearst-Harrison-
Lawrence machine. And then
the Hearst papers say the other
papers are liars. Hearst also &C
cuses other publishes, without
naming them, of being interested
in gas, telephone and other pub
lie service corporation stocks.

ROYAL ARClNuM
 LAY, SATURDAY
 COUNCILS CELEBRATE

The thirty-fifth anniversary of the RIA. will be celebrated by the mem- bers and their friends on Saturday. June 22nd, 1912. There will be gen, eral reunion of all the Councils in the various states. It is the usual custom to divide in groups and meet at a central point and make merry. Games of all kinds are arranged by the committees in charge, so that not only the members can participate ebut their friends and families. This has been the custO for number of years past and is growing more in favor each year
 a.a The inception of the R. A. was in 1s77-and has had steady increase each year. This their thirty-fiftfi year should be one of the happiest gather fngs in its history. The revenue de- rived maintains many of the Hospital Bed associations, and the good work done by these societies is far reaching. and of a great benefit to many. As an auxiliary adjunct to the R. A. the hospital benefit privilege afforded it's members, without cost to the individ- ual, is a strong factor to those desir ing to unite with the organization.
 The local councils have selected Sea Breeze Island as their place of meet ing this year, and Norwalk, South Norwalk. Danbury. Stamford, Green wich, Milford and Derby councils have been invited to join forces to make it an enjoyable day. The Norwalk coun- cil have challenged Seaside of this city to a game of ball. Game called at 2:30. Other amusements have been arranged for those not participating in the ball game. The dinner will be served at o'clock. The committee of arrangements have put forward their best efforts to make this event one long to- be remembered.
 Tickets can be obtained from the chairman. J. Mex. Munsie, 793 Nor man street. Those desirous of attend ing should make their ;, application early. E.

 Found in Sound.
 Carl Ericsson of Stamford, while fishing near the Greenwich Inn, at Sound Beach. with two companions, Sunday, found the body of man, which they lowed ashore.

 Not Company's Fault.
 Coroner Phelan's finding in the death of Stanley Winski, the 12-year- old Stamford boy who was killed by contact with live wire of the Gas and Electric. Company, which broke and fell May 31, is that death was ac- cidental, and that the Gas and Elec- tric Company is without blame. It was brought out that even had the company been notified of the break which resulted fatally to the Winski boy, it could not have gotten a gang to the place and made repairs inside of an hour or an hour and a quarter The boy was killed less than an hour after the wire fell. He grabbed the wire as it lay in the gutter and was shocked to death.

Wash your clothes
 with DUST
El

Good soap washes clothes well-if you use enough elbow grease; but Gold Dust washes them more thoroughly and with little or no rubbing. Gold Dust saves half your time, and spares your poor back.
 Another great advantage of Gold DuSt-use any kind of water you like. GcId Dust softens the hard est water, and makes it soft as rain water.
 Gold Dust is just vesetable-oil soap in powdered form, with other cleansing ingredients added to make it work more thoroughly and quickly than soap ever can.
 Just try Gold Dust next wash day, and see how much time you save.
