Inventinq the Sleeping Gar.

Inhabitants of Central City, Colo, will tell you that George Pullman got his idea for his sleeping car from the little cabin he occupied near the stamp mill he owned and ran in Russell Gulch when he was q pioneer at that place in the early sixties. This cabin had its sleeping quarters in the form of hunks along the wall to leave more space for the living room. In speaking to his friends of his idea of a sleeping car Pullman said it would look like cabin with hunks along the sides. In 1862 Pullman left Central City, having made considerable money from his va rious ventures there. He kept expert menting along the lines of his idea and in 1863 constructed the first sleeping car of commercial value.-Wan Street Journal

A Meek of RIunders.

i Sir William Harcourt once told me that he had dined out every night for a whole week in advance of his invi- tations. He discovered his mistake only on the last night. when on going to dine with some people who gave. long invitations and large dinners he found them alone After a very pleasant evening he thanked them for asking g him in so friendly a manner. where upon they explained that the invita- tion had been for week later, but that they h:ld been only too delighted at his mistake. On hearing this Sir William looked at his engagement book and discovered that this was the last of number of invitations which he had anticipated by a Memo ries of Fifty Years,'' by Lady St. Heller.

It may not be generally known that a republic composed of the states of Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras and known as the United States of Central America was stablished in 1898 by party of contemplating indI= vidua1s. On Nov. l of that year depu- tations of the three mentioned states met at Nicara qua, which had been de cided on as the new capital, and con stituted the United States of Central America, taking the oath to support the new republic and making laws to be observed by all the people of the states concerned The new conshtu- ton was modelled on the lines of tEs United States of America, but 1t did not live to take a place in the govern ment of the western hemisphere.

COLLIER ST0RSTAD
HELD RESPONSIBLE.
Verdict Of Probers in Wreck Of
Empress Of ireland.

Quebec, July 1.-THE collier Stor-
stad is held to blame for the Empress
of Ireland disaster in the findings of
the wreck commission.
The commission holds that the dis
aster was due to the Storstad's
change of course, ordered by the third
officer without instructions from the
first officer. who was in charge of the
collier at the time.
The Empress was sunk in the St.
Lawrence on May 20, with a loss of
more than 1000 lives. The findings
of the commission conclude as fol-
lows:
"But the question of much greater
public interest and importance re-
mains to be considered, viz:
''Why the ship sank so quickly and
what steps can be taken to prevent
the terrible consequences which so
often follows such disasters"

TO DRIVERS OF AUTO.
MOBILES MOTORCYCLES
AND BICYCLES.

The State Laws and Ordinances of this
City respecting the driving of auto
mobiles, motorcycles and bicycles are
violated in this city every day. Auto
mobiles and motorcycles are being
driven on our streets at an unreasonable
and dangerous rate of speed and with
little or no regard for the rights of others
using the streets. Many automobile
drivers pay no attention to the state law
requiring lamps to be lighted within one
hour after sunset, and many are in the
habit of driving through the streets with
the muff1er cut out. Some also are in the
habit of turning in the center of block,
an exceedingly dangerous practice.
Bicycle riding upon the sidewalks is a
common practice. In order that these
abuses may be terminated I have
directed the police officers to strictly
enforce the state laws and the city
ordinances concerning these vehicles and
the attention of all persons is respect
fully called to the following summary of
the state law and city ordinances:
1. The state law provides a speed
limit of ten miles an hour for motor
vehicles in the business district, and
fifteen miles an hour in residence districts,
and also provides that in turning corner
the speed shall not exceed six miles per
hour. Driving faster than the limits
mentioned is prima facie unreasonable
and unlawful.
2. Front and rear lights shall be lighted
within one hour after sunset.
3. No muffler shall be cut out within
the city limits.
4. All motor vehicles must keep to
the right of the center of the road, and
such vehicles, when left upon the streets
shall be so left next to the right hand
curb. No such vehicle shall be left with
it's motor running while unattended.
5. No motor vehicle shall turn on any
street excepting at street intersections.
6. The riding of bicycles and motor
cycles upon the sidewalks of this city is
prohibited.
A cheerful compliance with the law
and ordinances governing this matter is
expected from all good citizens. Offend
ers will be arrested and summarily
punished. q

L. A. Fritsche,

CALLS LEGISLATION VICIOUS
Senator Sterling (Rep., s. D.) Moves
to Strike Out Exemption, but
Motion Is Laid on Table.

Washington, July All efforts in
the senate to alter or eliminate the
labor exemption clause of the sundry
civil bill section providing funds for
the enforcement of the antitrust law
were voted down.
Two roll calls put the senate on
record in favor of the exemption
clause which caused the veto of the
last sundry civil bill by President
Taft and which President Wilson, in
4 memorandum made when he signed
the same measure, characterized as
"unjustifiable in character and prin-
ciple"
The clause provides that no part Of
the fund shall be spent in the prose-
cutfon "of any organization or in
dividual for entering into any comb
nation or agreement having in view
the increasing of wages, shortening
of hours or lettering the conditions
Of labor or for any act done in fur
therance thereof, not in itself unlaw.
full" Cooperative farmers organiza-
lions also are exempted.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota
proposed to strike out the exemption,
characterizing it as vicious class leg
islation."
The Sterling amendment was laid
on the table by a vote of Al to ~. only
one Democrat, Senator Pomerene,
voting for it. Republicans who voted
to sustain the exemption were: Sen
ators Brady, Clapp, Cummins, Jones,
Kenyon and Norris. Senator Poin-
dexter also voted for the exemption.
