The white carnaticn is the flower for
mother

The white carnation Is the flower for
mother
Wear it Mothers Day;
Flower for rain and sunshine,
Winsome, gallant and gay,
Wear it in mothers honor,
Pinned to the coats lapel
Wear it in belt and eorsage,
For her who loved you well.
For mother in lowly cabin,
Or mother in palace hall,
Is ever the kindest and dearest
And ever the best of all.
In travail and pain she bore US;
In laughter and love she nursed
And who would shame the mother
Is of all mankind accursed.
Tired and wan too often;
Weary and weak at times,
But always full of courage
That thrills when the future chimes.
Mother with hands hardened,
Mother in pearls and lace
The light of heavenly beauty
Shines in her tender face.
So here's to the white flower;
Wear one on Mothers Day
Flower Of a perfect sweetness
Flower to mother-our best of ALL

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
Catarrhal Deafness requires constitu-
tional treatment. HALLS CATARRH
MEDICINE is a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed Deafness is the result. Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced, your
hearing may be destroyed forever.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system, thus reducing the in
Illumination and restoring normal condi-
tions.

WORK ALMOST DONE
ON TRACTION BILLS

This Week.

His Plans Swells List Of

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, Ie5. l3.
SO much progress has been made in
whipping into shape the measures pro-
posed by Gov. Miller for the relief of the
transit situation in New York city that
it is likely they will be ready for intro
duction in the Assembly and Senate this
week. At any event they will be in such
shape that their provisions may be more
clearly studied and understood by mem
bers of the Legislature than has hereto
fore been the case.
The bills are arousing more interest
than any question now before the Legis-
lature. AS their provisions become in
creasingly better known much of the OPP
position to them appears to be vanishing
and although there will be hard fight
made against them by many Democratic
legislators the Republican majority is
expected to be for them almost solidly,
including the Republican delegation from
New York city.
There does not seem to be nearly so
much opposition to the Governors plan
as before the publication OF his recent
result il his proposed measures are
enacted into law. The fact that the
Governor purposes to give the city gov
ernment large voice In the MANAGE
ment of the transit properties and the
determination of the policies to be pur-
sued by these properties has resulted
i'm largely decreasing the opposition and
in soidifying the Republican support
the bills will receive.
Opponents of the measures continue to
insist that the principal thing needed TO
preserve home rule is the passage Of an
amendment to the Governors bills by
which the approval of the Board of Est
mate would be necessary for any re-
vision of the existing franchises and con-
tracts which might involve an increase
in fare. They declare that this should be
done to prevent the upstate Legislators
from imposing upon the city without the
consent of the metropolis a traction plan
that would cost riders more than they
are paying to the Interborough and the
Il X. 7.

SIX HOLD UP TWENTY
AND FLEE WITH SS, 900
Masked Bandits Disable Mo-
tor Cars and Cut Wires.

Two masked men entered the cafe
owned by John j. Jouret in Glenvile,
Conn, yesterday morning and forced
twenty men who were playing cards in
the back room to line up against the
wall. White the masked men pointed
revolvers at them they were robbed by
four other men who came into the
place from back door. Tho bandits
stole jewelry and money estimated in
value at about 5000 and escaped in an
automobile.
Several automobiles, owned by the
men inside playing cards. were parked
outside the saloon. and the police say
that before thoy went I'm tho bandits
slit the tires and injured the machinery
so the machines could not be used to
pursue them. None of the victims at
tempted to fight the bandits although
one OF them protested when one OF the
thieves took a stickpin from his tie. The
pin was secured with n safety catch,
and when Il did not come loose at once
the bandit cut the tie from the mans
neck with n pocket knife.
The bandits backed out OF the door
as soon as they had completed their
work. one OF them remaining behind
while the others started the engine OF
their automobile. The twenty men in
the cafe rushed for the door as soon
as the bandits had gone, and started
for their automobiles. but found that
none OF them was able 10 run. When
they started TO telephone the police
they found the telephone wires lead
ing to the saloon had been cut. so that
IL was necessary to go 90 other build
ings. This gave the bandits several
minutes start, and no trace has yet
been found OF them.
