Do You Whlstle2

There arc few more ~unlovely char
acters than the mar hat whistles"
was the frank confession OF a Harlem
g~raybeard. Yet I can't help feeling
sorry for him.
Not more than n man in a hun
dred that whistles on the street or in
other public places can Garry an air
or has any idea OF music: therefore
his efforts are nerveracking. Most
whistlers never fail to whistle when
on their way home late at night, there
by numbering sleep. Most milkmen
wake people at an unreasonable hour
In the morning by whistling.
"Whistling is chiefly inspired by
"contentuent or high spirits-and it's
pleasing to know that so many are
conditioned thus happily. But every
man that Whistles makes every other
person within hearing distance I'M
happy while he is at It. Which ia n
great pity and hardship."-New York

TO MAKE UNIFORM
 HOURS OF LABOR

Washington, April 2e-An amendment to the constitution which, when rati- fled by two-thirds of the States, would give Congress the power to make uni form the hours of labor throughout the United States, is proposed in a resolution introduced in the House to- day by Representative Curley of Mass achusetts. Representative Curley con- tends that the difference in the hours of labor in many States varying from 54 hours a week in Massachusetts to 66 hours in the Southern States, ere ates an ''unwarranted discriminatory in favor of manufacturers located in States where the long hours prevail.
 It was for the purpose of elininat- ing this discrimination that the reso- lution was offered.

 Entering the clock gallery the cou- pie climbed upon the stone balustrade, With hands clasped they poised them selves for a moment and then leaped downward into the gove market, strik- ing the flags close to the historic Mat sys fountain. Ambulances were sum moned, but the surgeons declared that the lovers had died instantly.
 That the act of the lovers was pre- meditated IS shown by the fact that they had placed five letters, one ad- dressed to the police commissary and the others to various relatives where they could easily be seen by visitors to the tower.
 The letters showed that the youth was Ellie Walkow and that his home was in this city. The girl was iden- tified as Alice Peeters. The letters, it is declared, stated that the young cou- pie had been driven to their deaths because of a love affair.

CONNECTICUT SUFFRAGISTS
 EXPEGT TO PLAY BIG PART
 IN PARADE NEXT SATURDAY
Wheeler & Wilson Band Engaged to Head Delegations Representing
 This State.

Connecticut women are determined to have a full share in contributing g to the success of the suffrage parade in New York city next Saturday The marshal of the Connecticut conttng- ent is Mrs. w. H. Weed of Norwalk and it is now arranged that the meet ing place for all the women who are to march in the division from this State is at Twelfth street, just west of Fifth avenue
 Meeting at this point they will be ready to fall into line at 2:30 p. m. when the main body of the procession reaches Twelfth street. The mem bers of the Connecticut Mems League who are to march, will assemble at the same street but onSthe other side of the Avenue. close to the headquar- ters of the New York Mems League for Woman Suffrage.
 The college women in the Connec- ticut division will march in cap and gown and to make this feasible for those women who do not possess these garments, Miss Mayonne Lewis of Rosemary Hall, Greenwich, stands any women who apply to her before hand. The other women will march as far as possible in white costumes; where white is not feasible they are requested to wear black or dark blue. There will be over fifty banners in
 
 league having it's own. These ban ners carry on their faces the names of the Leagues and the backs are adorned with the State suffrage col ors-purple, white and green-in trans verse stripes. At the head of the di- vision officers of the State Assoeia- tion will carry the State banner, which has already figured in the New York May parades of 1911 and 1912.
 The route of the parade is up Fifth avenue to Fifty-seventh street and then west down Firty-seventh street to Seven avenue. There the parade will disband that the women may go to the mass meeting in Carnegie Hall It is expected that the hall will be crowded and ten boxes have been se- cured forthe Connecticut women. Seats in these boxes may be obtained by ap- plying to Miss Elsie Tiemann of Greenwich.
 Tn order to make marching easy for the Connecticut contingent, the G. w. S. A. has secured the services of the Wheeler and Wilson band of Bridge port This band which enjoys more than local celebrity Is now busily en- gagged in practicing suffrage music. From their experience in 1911 and 1912 the women who have previously marched in thees parades can testify to the help in marching that is rend- cred by being within earshot of march ing music.

LOVERS JUMP TO DEATH
 FROM CATHEDRAL TOWER
Crash to FIag-Paved Square in Antwerp from Height of I8O Feet--SeveraI Witnesses
 of the Tragedy Faint

Antwerp. Belgium. April 2s-A youth eighteen years old and a nineteen year old girl were the principal char acters in a love tragedy enacted here yesterday. Arm in arm they climbed to the clock gallery in the tower of the Notre Dame Cathedral and from a height of 1So feet leaped into space, falling at the feet of passersby.
 Every bone in the bodies of the boy and his companion was broken. As they hurtled through the air several men and women who witnessed the sight tainted.
 The tragedy occurred at time when the glove market, in front of the north tower of the cathedral, was thronged with pedestrians.
 The youth and the maiden had pur- chased from the porter at the entrance door tickets of admission to visit the tower, from the eminence of which wide view is possible. The porter mo- ticed nothing unusual in their de- meanor as he escorted the couple to the stairway and saw them start to
