(National Newt Association) MILWAUKEE, Win., Oct. 28. The Women's Christian Temperance Union jhas Invaded Milwaukee. Two thouand white rlbboners' occupy hotelB
city, and have set about their preparations tor the 38th annual convention rwith a determination that threatens la draught In the town of the great .German commodity. Their first action ras to insist that the bar of their convention hall be closed. M. P. Gilpatick, the proprietor took a look at the 'visiting delegation, headed by a determined lady from Kansas, and complied. A big sign bearing the inscription, "Closed in Honor of the W. C. T. U." will decorate Gilpatrlck's jthirst parlor during the six days of
fthe convention, October 28th to November 2. The women have also made similar
'demands upon the management of the
Republican house, which will be the
official headquarters of the organiza
tion. Their success, however, is not yet assured, for the proprietor ensconced himself behind the desk and pleaded for time. W. C. T. U. leaders however are confident that their detmand will be met and they will, in the (first day of their occupation of Milwaukee have "reformed" two of its Beading hotels. Ask Hotel Bars Closed. Other members of the organization ihave been busy in the many Milwaukee hosteleries patronized by the delegates, in some caBeH meeting with Iamlling compliance to the requests for !the "closed bar" during their convention, and in all receiving permission to decorate the windows and walls of the buildings with cards and signs announcing their presence.
The convention this year is of great 'Importance to those Interested in prohibition. The organization will con-
Iduct Its meeting along progressive
lines and will probably adopt meas
lures for a campaign to regain the terJritory recently lost to prohibition in
New England, and for runner cam
ipaigns against the "demon" in states
'that are not yet "dry."
It is thought by many that a radical
departure in the campaign plans of the
W. C. T. U. must be adopted In order
to increase the organization's effec
tiveness, and this faction of the delegates is today advocating a deeper study of political conditions in the different states and the methods employed by successful reform movements to push through their candidates. In this connection it is said that the organization will be asked to
iadopt measures for gathering funds to
push a progressive fight against the saloon interests, to establish publicity bureaus to present the prohibition problem to the public, etc. Discuss Maine Election. One of the most interesting events of the convention will be a review of the recent fight In Maine and the reasons leading to the overthrow of h "Arv" movement. The work of
the W. C. T. U. in this campaign will be exhaustively compared with that of the saloon interests, and a discussion of the problems of successfully putting
, the evils of drink before an electorate twill be engaged in by the delegates and those at the head of the Maine prohibition fight. Another side of prohibition that will (receive the attention of the convention ia the enforcement of laws In
I states already given to prohibition, the abolishment of "blind tigers," "where liquor is sold and other means of purveying drink to a community where the sale of liquor Is forbidden. Statistics have been compiled by a committee of the W. C. T. U. on the effect of prohibition in the South, the strongest portion of the United States In the prohibition movement, and the report of this committee will i claim widespread interest. Its findings are said to refute the assertion ithat prohibition, through the underground methods employed by circumfvent law. Is deleterious to public I morals. ' Officers of the W. C. T. U.. and wo-

Get Ridofltt There is one sure way to banish catarrh and along with it the disgusting symptoms such as hawking, snuffling and spitting. Breathe HYOMEI, that's all you've got to do. Breathe it a few minutes a few times a day. Breathe it deep into the lungs and see how quickly
the sore, germ ridden membrane will
clear up and inflammation vanish. HYOMEI is pure antiseptic air; ft does not contain morphine, cocaine or other habit forming drugs. It is made
from Australian eucalyptus and other
antiseptics, and it is rigidly guaranteed for catarrh, asthma, croup, bronchitis, coughs and colds. Complete outfit (inhaler and bottle) $1.00, sep

An Old Welsh Custom. The kindling of bonfires on bills is the simplest of celebrations at any
time. The Druids made four great
fires at their festivals in February.
May, August and November. Wales seems to have been a country especiallv tenacious ot this custom. Each
family used to uiak its own fire, and
as it was dying out each member would throw a white stone into It. the stones beius marked for future iden
tification. Then all said their pray
ers and went to bed. and in the morning they tried to find all the stones
again. If any stone was missing it betokened that the owner of it would
die within a year. Some superstitions
are pretty and picturesque and- attrac
tire. This was one of the many which were cruel as well as picturesque. It
would take but a slight accident to
cause a fright that might be actually
dangerous to a superstitious person.
and it would not be hard tor an enemy of such a person to cause that fright by stealing his stone from the fire.

Not for a long time has there been seen a play in Richmond so provokative of laughter as this.

The Practical Method Adopted by a French Scientist. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the French Academy of s
ences offered to give a prize to . first person who would solve the fol lowing problem: If you take a vase full of water mid put a stone or any similar body in it tie water will flow over. If. however, you put into it a fish, the volume of which is equal to that of the stone, it will not flow over. Explain this phenomenon. Learned essays on the subject poured in from all quarters, but the problem was uot satisfactorily solved in any of them, and consequently the prize was uot awarded. In the following year the same ques
tion was again propounded, and for five years answers continued to pour in to the academy. Tbeu it suddenly occurred to one of the academicians that, after all. the problem might be incapable of solution, and be determined to make a test for himself. Filling a vase with water, be put a stone into it and saw that the water flowed over. Then he took out the stone, filled the vase again with water and put into it a fish, the volume of which was the same as that of the stone, and saw. to his surprise, that the water again flowed over. He told the academy of his discovery, and the result was that the offer of a prize was at owe withdrawn.

He Lost All His Bets and Made Money by Doine; So. The captain of one rather old and slow steamer of years ago, finding that be would have to be a long time ia China before he received a full cargo of tea and would have probably to return in ballast, began, to every one's astonishment, to say that, owing to the repairs that had been done to his engines, he hoped to make a racing passage back to England. Then, still more to the astonishment of the captains of the fast steamers and the world at large, be commenced to back himself o make the fastest passage borne. In such very considerable sums of money did be wager that people began to think there was something in it and the merchants sent their tea almost entirely to his ship, arguing
that as the captain stood to lose 250

had probably put him in a position to bet almust on a certainty.
Of course the steamer, whose greatest speed was eight knots an hour, arrived in England weeks after the others, and the captain lost 250. bat in

women. "In one of the factories I found a frail girl, one month older than the minimum age allowed for employment in a tobacco factory. She was stemming tobacco leaves. Her eyes were bothering her so she could scarcely work, and I soon learned the tobacco caused it. On questioning her, I found there was no one in the family

had earned fourteen cents for the eight hours' work. On inquiry I
found the average dally wage paid the
girls was from fifteen to thirty-eight cents a day.
The little girl told me she could
not afford to lose a day's work, because the money was needed at home.
The foreman in the factory was seated at one end of the room, half asleep.
He did not know I was in the room until I had been there half an hour. I talked to the proprietor about the girl, and he said her bad eyes were all her own fault, because she wiped
them with her hands when she was stemming the tobacco, "fhe foreman
seemed to know nothing about her
condition or the condition of any oth
er girl in the factory.
From the tobacco plant I went to
a shirt factory, where I found a model
establishment, with plenty of light, ventilation and convenient working conditions for the girls. I told the owner about the girl at the tobacco
factory. He had me send her to him and eave her a job packing shirts In
boxes at better pay in his model rooms. "I told the owner of the tobacco plant he should have female foremen in his rooms where girls were employed, but he did not take my suggestion favorably.
"I discovered numerous instances
of where innocent young girls were
working side by side with other girls whose manners of life were not proper, and found where the latter class had led many of the former astray.
Mv idea oa that every city where
girls are employed ought to have women employed to look afterthe girls, and to see to it that girls of loose
morals are not permitted to work where they can lead astray the young girls who come from good homes and
who are compelled to work to help support their families. It is a condition which we can not meet through the child labor law alone."
Mr. Walsh spent a short time in the
mills of the United States Steel Cor
poration at Gary, and arranged to
make a second visit in a short time, when he will spend a week going over
the plant with the superintendent suggesting improvements for further
safety of the men employed there. A

suggestion on the visit this week.
