Chicago, March ''1 . - '"Fifty dollars reward for positive evidence that Abraham Lincoln was a user of intoxicating liquor or an advocate of intemperance," This offer was made by Alonzo F. Wilson at a meeting of the Young Men's Prohibition club of Cook county.

OFFICERS STARTED WORK AS BEGINNERS.

With Few Exceptions They Have Been With Pennsy Ever Since. Philadelphia. March IM.

New York. March 21.

New York, and president of the American Bison Association, is co-operating with the President to save the remnant of a tribe of beasts 1 hut once numbered its members by the millions. There are buffalo in nearly all of the zoos of the country, but the lives of the confined animals are at best precarious, and no one knows when accident, or disease may wipe the captives out of existence. It is the wish of Mr. Hornaday that a government range be provided for a herd of buffalo in the northwestern country, where they may live in large measure as they lived when their only enemies were the red man and the wolf-a condition of life that made for longevity and for increase.

SEEKS TO EVADE LAW. Officials Have Been Advised of Novel Scheme in Matter. SUNDAY Chicago, March 21. Several large railroad systems, notably the New York Central, have been advised by their legal departments that the effect of the law limiting the hours of labor of employes can be partially evaded by closing all offices now continually open, for an hour or so out of every twenty-four, thereby bringing them under a class not designated by the law. The railroads can then work the operators at these offices ten or eleven hours, as they may desire. This is a legal loop-hole as the act makes only two classes of stations, those open day and night, and those open part of the day or part of the night.
