Eight-Hour Hule Does Not Apply to Contractors Building United States Warships. Washington, Aug. 7. The attorney general, In an opinion addressed to the secretary of the navy, holds that the so-called eight-hour law which provides that "the service and employment of all laborers and mechanics who are now or may hereafter be employed by the government of the

United States, of the District of Columbia, or by any contractor or sub

contractor upon any of the public

vkoris of the United States, or of the

said District of Columbia, Is hereby

limited and restricted to eight hours of any one calendar day" does not ap

ply to vessels under construction for

the navy by contract with builders at

private establishments.

The attorney general calls attention

to the case of Clarkson vs. Stevens

(10 U. S. uOo), wherein the supreme court held that the title of a naval

vessel under construction does not vest in the government until after the con

ditions and covenants of the contractor

have been fulfilled.

CHARGE MADE BY STICKNEY

Says the Railways Have a New Scheme

to Take the Place of Rebates.

St. Taul, Aug. 7. "Instead of giving

rebates the railroads now manipulate

their tariff schedules," declared A

It. Stickney, president of the Chicago Great Western railway, at the hearing

before the state railroad and ware

house commission. "I have called the

attention of the interstate commerce

commission to the fact that the con

slant filing of new tariff schedules by

the companies oncht not to be al

lowed."

The whole discussion of the tempo

rary character of the freight schedules

now in effect all over the country was

precipitated by Mauahan asking Stick

ney if it were not true that coal was

often carried between Chicago and St

Paul at less than thp published rate

of 10 cents. Stickney admitted that

this was true, and on being asked

when, replied "Oh, that takes place

when the boys get gay."

Preacher and His Wife Conclude That

They Can Get Along Together All Right, After All.

Columbus, Ind., Aug. 7. Rev. El

bert Ilobbs, of this city, has, married

his divorced wife, Mrs. Margaret

Ilobbs. In his application for a mar

riage license he gave his occupation as that of a missionary, and said his

work was among the local heathen.

Ilobbs joined thellolinesschurch some

time ago. and gave street-corner

meetings in this city.

Some people did not take kindly to

his doctrine, so they stationed themselves on house-tops and treated Ilobbs

and his band of followers with a

showerof eggs. About that time Hobbs

left his wife, telling his followers that the Lord told him to do it. She ob

tained a divorce on the charge of abandonment in 1000, but now all differ

ences have been smoothed over and

they will live together again.

A Facetious Convict.

"This confinement," said the long

faced prison visitor, "must distress

you greatly." "Yes," replied the fa

cetious convict, "I find the prison bars

grating." "Ah, life to you Is a failure." "Yes. It's nothing but a cell."

Not So Impartial. J "With equal force upon the Just And on the unjust, too. The wet and gentle rain comes down, Likewise the morning dew. It's different with the sprinkling cartIt doesn't leak a bit Except before the lots of those Who pay the price for It. The summer breezes play upon The lowly and the gTeat. And even the cyclone itself Does not discriminate. But take the big electric fan. Its currents do not blow Except upon the gentleman Who pays to make it go. The forest with Its ample arms Extends its shade for all, And to the humble and the rich It whispers low its call. But those who have to wield the sledge. The shuttle or the hoe Can only send It their regrets; They haven't time to go. And so it Is with everything; Just take It down the line; Tho sunshine and the air are free And doubtless very fine. But if you want them to come round And all their pleasures spill Just have your uncle die and leave You money in his will.
