CHICAGO, eSpt. 3.-The railroad company officials announce today that there will be no precipitate le- gal action taken until the Adamson bill is thoroughly investigated by the railroad attorneys. The latter however have from their first exa- imitation of the document declared that there will be no trouble getting it declared unconstitutional.
 The companies have no desire however to make it possibly an elec- tion issue as doubtless the demo- crats would surely do, did the com panies begin an immediate war upon it. That it will be tested is cer, tain.
 President Ripley, speaking for the railroad presidents, said he was sorry that the eight hour demand had been settled. He wanted to bring this matter to showdown as they wished to definitely prove to the brotherhoods that neither

LONDON, Sept. 3.-The Ruman- ian troops after a five day battle signally defeated the Austrian forces capturing Orsova. The capture of Orsova is of great strategic import ance as it opens up the heart of Austria to attack, threatens the Belgrade railroad to Constantinople thus menacing the Teutonic commu- nications two hundred and forty miles south to Greece, and cuts off Bulgaria from its chief source of intuition supplies.

BY Their Use Il 10 Possible to Avoid
Good Deal Of Domestic .-. g..
I, @ bickerinQ.

The old method Of tying a string
about finger to recall to mind, some
task to be done at certain time has
been done away with.
The new way is to transfer a ring
from one finger to another. On the &C
customed finger the ring feels natural
and does not cause annoyance, but on
any other finger it slightly irritates.
This irritation constantly will aid in
recalling the task to be done. Just
try it once.
Another and more novel way is to
carry colored ribbon In the coat
pocket.
Suppose, now, you are in your Office.
Your wife phones you to be sure and
bring home a certain thing. Go to your
coat hanging on the Office rack, take
out the ribbon and tie it tightly around
q sleeve.
At night when you start to go home
your fist will jam itself against the
tied sleeve. "Oh, yes" you will say to
yourself, there's that cough strip
Molly told me to be sure and bring
home tonight" and off you~will 60 at
once to make the purchase.
81 "A man who is VIGOROUSLY known to
never forget to perform mission re-
4uested by his wife" won his reputa-
ton by use of the above two methods.
Simply by transferring his finger ring
he has been known never to forget to
mail her letters on the day they were
given to him.

SOMETHING TO BE ACQUIRED
Possession Of Good Taste Is Almost
Entirely a Matter Of Assiduous
Cultivation.

II we would possess good taste We
must take pains about it. We must
study models, we must follow exam
pies, we must compare methods, and
(above anything else) we must cru
city the natural man. II there is one
thing to be dreaded in these mat
tiers it is what is called the unaided
intelligence of the masses. A crudely
colored telegraph of the Albert memo
rial may give pleasure to an unaided
intelligence, Sbut is that pleasure to
be compared in depth of satisfaction
with that which is afforded when the
educated eye feasts upon the nature
interpreting canvas of great artist?
All, I think, are agreed about the
study of the models; Of the things
which are attested
We may then, I think, assume that
the best way of telling a good book
from a bad one is to make yourself
as we'll acquainted as you can with
some of the great literary models. Do
not be frightened at them. They al
ford the widest choice; they are. all
for moods, There is no need to like
them all alike.-Augustine Birrell.

BROUGHT TO LIFE BY LIGHT
Poppy Seeds, Twenty Centuries Old,
Sprano Into Brilliant Bloom
.;.. When Uncovered.

Some years ago there was seen in a
silver mine of Laurium curious in
stance Of the resuscitating power of
light after many years. The silver
mines OF Laurium were abandoned
more than 1000 years ago as unwork-
able. and were filled for the most part
with the Stag from the workings of the
miners.
1t was discovered, however, that this
Stag contained plenty of silver, which
oould easily be. rendered available by
upto-date appliances. Accordingly it
was removed to the.furnace, and, when
next the mine was visited, wonderful
Transformation was found to have ta-
ken place. Instead of a heap Of rub:
bish, the mine had become a.gorgeous
flower garden. The entire space was
covered with a brilliant show Of pop
pies. This profuse vegetable life, it IS
asserted, belonged to the age in which
the mines we're worked. Twenty cen
turtles old, therefore, were those poppy
seeds; yet, when the removal of the
Stag allowed the light to fall upon
them, they sprang into life and bloom
under its influence.
