the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Kat all
the good food you want but don't over

may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with

A Queer Complication In llie IIIIIIIIDIKI
State —Five of the Supreme Court
Judge* ."Tied and Kin
der Their lie
clsloii.
Dover, Del., March 6.—The status
of the Delaware legislature was uiulei
consideration by the judges of thq
state courts, who will decide the corn
stitutionality of the act of the mi»
nority in adjourning the assembly
for more than one day. The const i
tution does not authorize a minority
to adjourn either branch of the as
sembly except froi» day today. The
legislature adjourned Monday after
the election of two United States sen-,
a tors, to meet the following day. On
Tuesday, however, a majority of tha
members went to Washington to sea
the new senators sworn in. As only
n few legislators were present at
Tuesday's session Jienresentative
Holcornli adjourned the house until
Thursday.
Legal authorities say that net was
unconstitutional anil has rendered
the house non-existent.
Wilmington, Del., March o.—Five of
the supreme court judges met here
Thursday to consider the legality of
the action of the minority of the Del
aware legislature in adjourning the
session of the house from Tuesday
until yesterday. Their decision, an
nounced last nip-lit, was that as the
state constitution gives a minority
the rig-lit only to adjourn the assem
bly from day today, there was no
adjournment of tlie body fin Tues
day, the legislature technically re
maining in session until legally ad
journed yesterday by the majority.
NAMES FOR WARSHIPS.
Five State* are to be lleineiiibered In
Christening Now Battleship*.
Wash gton, March 6. —Secretary
Moody yesterday reached a decision
as to the stat-es after which the five
-battleships provided for in the new
naval law »hall be named. The three
16,000-ton battleships are to be named
Vermont, Kansas and Minnesota, and
the two I.'!, 000-ton vessels
and Idaho.
Tlie secretary in his next annual
report expects to discuss the subject
of the names to be given new battle
ships. He is anxious that the names
of such historic, vessels as the Cum
berland, the Merriniae and the Con
stitution shall be perpetuated and he
will recommend that congress pro
vide for this in the next naval law.
Under the present law it is stipula
ted that all battleships shall be
named after the states of the Union.
That no time is to be lost in the
construction of the new ships is evi
dent from the action of the secretary
in directing the general board to pre
pare the plans for the 16,000-ton
ships, which are to be of the Connec
ticut and Tennessee class. As there
are no 13,000-ton ships on the naval
lists it will take longer to prepare
the plans for the Mississippi and
Idaho.
A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY.
A Farmer Shoot* III* Daughter und
Another M'oinuii and Suleidc*.
Henderson, Ky., March 6. —Allan
Melton, a well-to-do farmer, who on
Wednesday night fatally wounded his
daughter and shot Mrs. John Culver,
committed suicide in a barn when he
found the building surrounded by
bloodhounds which had been sent in
pursuit of him. Melton went to the
home of John Culver, where his step
daughter, Mary Melton, 16 years old,
was spending the night. Culver was
away from the house. Melton en
tered, and seeing his daughter, drew
a revolver and fired two shots.
Mrs. Culver ran into the room and
Melton tired, the ball passing- through
her lungs. Melton went to the home
of Dock Latta, two miles away,
where he remained all night. Early
in the morning he went home and
bloodhounds trailed him to a barn.
When he heard them coming, he
swallowed a large amount of paris
green awl then shot himself through
the head. It is said he. tried to hang
his divorced wife and it is believed he
returnod to Union to kill his wife.
A PERILOUS TRIP.

Kingstown, St. Vincent, March 6.
The American scientist Ed in und llo

Washington, March 5, —The Fifty
seventh congress expired Wednesday
by limitation. In many respects the
closing- scenes were similar to those
at. the end of every congress. But
there lias not been in many years
such a demonstration in the house
ns occurred yesterday owing to the
fact that Speaker Henderson was re
tiring, not only as presiding otHcer,
but from the house as a member.
The bitter partisan feeling that has
sprung- up in the house of representa
tives during tlie past week reached a
pitch which prevented the speaker
from receiving the unanimous approv
al of the ihouse when tjic usual reso
lution of thanks was offered.
The usual resolution of thanks to
President Pro Tem Frye was unani
mously adopted in the senate.
Washington, March 6. —In obedi
ence to the president's proclamation
the senate of the Fifty-eighth con
grass convened in extraordinary ses
sion yesterday. An immense crowd
witnessed the ceremony. The se-na
torg who were re-elected and those
wwio were taking their seats for tTie
first time, with the exception of Mr.
Gorman, who had seen long s'erviee
in the senate, were sworn in. Friends
of the senators loaded down their
desks with beautiful floral tributes.
One of the features of the opening
ceremony was the ovation accorded
Mr. Gorman.
President Roosevelt yesterday sent
the following message to the senate:
"I have called the senate in extraor
dinary session to consider the
treaties concerning which it proved
impossible to take action during the
session of congress just ended. 1 ask
your special attention to the treaty
with Colombia securing to the United
States the right to build an isthmian
canal, and to the treaty with Cuba
for securing a measure of commercial
reciprocity between the two coun
tries. The great importance of these
two treaties to the welfare of the
United States and the urgent need
for their adoption requires me to
impose upon you the inconvenience
of meeting at this time."
CRASH ON THE RAILS.

on tlie ICoek Island Koad.
Kansas City, March 5. —The outgo
ing Hock Island train which left the
union station at 10:.'50 last night over
tlie Union Pacific tracks, which the
Rock Island uses out of here, crashed
into the smoker of two Hock Island
trains which had been made into one,
but were late and which were trying

ers stayed on the track. The Texas
train was on time and running rap
idly' and the collision came with ter
rific force.

brought by George Jacobs, a news
hoy of the Colorado train. He was
in the smoker and was thrown under
the wreckage, but managed to crawl
out a.id came to the city on the mail
car of an incoming train. Jacobs,

A FORMAL NOTICE.
Factories of American Window
Glass Co. Will Shut Down.
I'ai turira t«» be Hqillpped with Labor-
Savins itlaehliien, und Tliey

IliKh-I'rleed Skllli'il
Laborers.
Pittsburg', March 7.—One of the.
most sensational moves made by the
American Window Glass Company
was inaugurated yesterday when the
executive commit te of the corpora
tion issued a formal notice to its
workmen that after a lapse of seven
days and on March 14, all of the fac
tories of the American Widow Glass
Company will close for the season, ir
respective of what other companies
will do.
The moment, the factories are
closed, the company has arranged
that a large force of men will be put
to work to equip them with the new
glass blowing machines which will do
the work of the skilled labor by ma
chines and remove from the glass
factory the highest priced skilled la
bor known in the country. It will
give the company glass production
at less than one-third of the cost un
der the hand labor.
President James .V. Chambers, of
the American Window Glass Compa
ny, in discussing the latest action of
his corporation, said the blowing ma
chines would be installed in all of
the company's plants as rapidly as
possible. The shut down, however,
will be for considerable time.
The action of the American Win
dow Glass Company in closing its
factories and Installing its machines
is said to be its answer to the inde
pendents who have refused to come
to any agreement concerning a uni
form closing of plants this spring. To
make more emphatic the statements
of the big corporation, it was stated
that a charter had been applied for
under the laws of New Jersey for
the incorporation of the American
Window Glass Machine Company,
which is to be controlled by the di
rectors and officers of the glass com
pany and which will own all of the
patents and manufacture all of the
machines for making window glass
that now exist.
All former lists have been with
drawn by the American Company and
it Is now believed that a cut in rates
will be made.
ADVANCE FOR MINERS.
SII 111 111 nr.V of llie Finding* of llie Coal
Strike Commission.
New York, March 7. —The Herald
prints the following as a summary
of the findings of the coal strike
commission appointed t>y President
Roosevelt, which it is expected will
be.handed to the president within a
week.
There will undoubtedly be at least
a to per cerit. advance in the pay for
mining, to take effect from the time
Hitj mliieis reiuinea in ww.h i.. . <» —
tober. The per diem employes will
not have their wages increased, but
will be recommended for the same
pay for a day of nine hours.
The system of pay will be regula
ted. Wherever practicable, the oper
ators will be required to pay by
weight, instead of by the car, and
elsewhere by the lineal yard.
There will be indirect recognition
of the union.
The caus»js» of the strike as found
by the commission will not be com
forting to the coal mining companies.
The boycott will be condemned, and
the principle will be laid down that
a miner lias a right to work without
molestation, even though he does not
belong to the union.
The terms of the verdict are to
hold good for three years and recom
mendations are to l>e made for set
tlements of wage and other questions
at the end of that period. In local
disputes the operators will be ad
vised to treat with committees of the
miners.
YORKE'S REPORT.
Tli« Fngllaltman Found Jluth to In
ternal Him In the Conatructlou of
American Kallroada.
London, March 7. —The report of
Col. A. H. Yorke (chief inspecting of
ficer of the Hoard of Railways, a de
partment of the board of trade), who
recently investigated American rail
roading in behalf of the board of
trade, was issued last, eveising iu a
Blue Book. Col. Yorke found nnuch
to interest him in the practical con
st ruction of American railroads but
decided that comparatively little <>f
it was available for English use,
chiefly because the expense of a
change would nullify its advantages.
The colonel thinks Great Britain
must adopt a more economical
freight oar, but he does not believe
it w!*l be advisable t< copy the Amer
ican designs. Me approves decidedly
the American system of examination
fur promotion in the railroad service
4in<l Rays that in this respect the
American railroads are ahead of the
Hritish companies.
Tn conclusion the colonel pays a
tribute lo the uniform courtesies, in
cluding those received from I'reei
dent Roosevelt and the facilities ex
tended to him and expresses the hope
that he will be able to return to
America and traverse tin* entire 1 ni
ted States in his work of in\estiga

Ina I'erniita Slum Liirge 4.alii<,.
New York, March 7.—lt. (J. Dun <&
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Further development in the move
ment of freight and fuel makes the
general situation more favorable.
Permits fur building' operations show
large gains over last year's figures,
giving additional strength to lumber
and other materials. Prices of com
modities scarcely altered in* the ag
gregate during February. Foreign
trade continues very heavy.
Spinners are growing conservative
Tn regard to accepting contracts call
ing for distant deliveries of cotton
goods, owing to the extreme uncer
tainty as to what the raw material
will cost. Export trade is slow. Print
cloths are higher. Fine cotton fa
brics for the spring of 1904 are
opened, although only a limited busi
ness has been done. Dealings are
small in woolens and worsteds, but
mills are fully occupied. The spring
clothing trade is satisfactory, espe
cially in staple lines. New Lines of
fancy worsted goods have not sold
freely, and opening prices are main
tained with difficulty. A firmer tone
is reported in the dress goods divis
ion. Footwear has lost nothing in
strength, but somewhat in activity as
buyers arc placing orders cautiously.
Failures this week numbered 2!J!)
in the United States against 170 last
year, and 16 in Canada compared with
17 last year.
THE BUFFALO TRAGEDY.
It I* Ki'lirri'tl that the Murderer ol
Iturdlek Will Never be <'au<;lit.
Buffalo, March 7. —Thnt the mur
derer of Edwin L. Burdick will never
be brought to pustice is becoming a
general belief. During the last 30
hours of hard work on the mysteri
ous tragedy not an iota of informa
tion of sufficient importance to be
termed evidence has been unearthed
by the police. The one woman who
has been under strong suspicion and
who has beeome known as the"po
lice suspect" is believed to be guilt
less so far as the crime is concerned
by some of the officials of the police
department and the district attor
ney's office, and they are convinced
that all efforts to fasten the crime
upon her will be unavailing.
Early this morning the police are
at work on a new clue In the Burdick
murder mystery. They have found
a hackman who drove a young wo
man to the corner of Ashland avenue
and Summer street, near the hour of
the murder. She carried a satchel
and walked toward the Burdick
house. The police are investigating
some of the women who worked in
Burdick's factory.

Bridge Workers Strike.
Philadelphia, March 7. —A general
strike against the American Bridge
Co. has been called by the executive
board of the International Associa
tion of Rridge and Structural Iron
Workers. About 800 bridge and struc
tural workers employed by the Amer
ican Bridge Co. in the Pittsburg dis

strike order. The bridge workers
went out two weeks ago, about 150
being idle. The general strike order
calls off all structural men on build
ings as well.

Birmingham, Ala., March 7. —Sever-

known that threats were made
against him and others.
