DAY LIGHT HOURS.
The movement to change the day
light hours of work might well be en
couraged. The plan proposed is that,
from May 1 to October I—practicallyl—practically
the summer months —the hands on the
clock shall be set back two hours,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel. Or, in
other words, the daylight workday
shall begin and close two hours earlier
each day. There are many advantages
1n this proposed innovation. Early
morning hours are the best for work
In the summer months. Early closing
of labor means longer and better hours
for rest and recreation. Better physi
cal condition and better mental pow
ers will result. A healthier moral tone
ought to prevail. More and better
service should be rendered. The con
sequent relaxation from the stress and
.strain of the long, hot summer months
could not help but produce a more
wholesome and contented body of men
and women everywhere. At the first
some inconvenience might be felt
while the readjustment is being made;
tout the advantages of the proposed re
form are certainly attractive enough
to win it favor, as in England.
Influenza or grip, followed too often
by pneumonia, has spread rapidly dur
ing the past week of dust and high
"winds throughout the city. Dr. Walter
Bensel, sanitary superintendent of the
health department, announces that the
fatalities from this cause have re
sulted in an alarmingly high death
rate, says the New York Times. Yet
with reasonable care no one need fear
this infectious disease. It is in the
throat that the germs of influenza find
lodgment; thence their poisons filter
through the mucous membrane into
the blood. They immediately affect
the digestive tract, the lungs, the kid
neys and the inner membranous pas
sages of the head. Hence the pains in
the various parts of the body, the
acute swellings in the head and face,
fever and marked general prostration.
All may be avoided by the cleansing
and keeping clean of the mouth, teeth,
tonsils and nose, and by some atten
tion to the raiment during the shifting
state of the weather. Excesses, such
as overeating and overdrinking, are
particularly dangerous.
Cities all over the union will follow
the example of New York in making
war upon the house fly. The best way
to deal with the pest is to keep him
out with screens guarding windows
and doors. However, there are times
when he will get in. A poison for Mr.
Fly that is said to be not dangerous to
human beings is made with bichromate
of potassium. A seven per cent, solu
tion of this chemical mixed in water
and sweetened with sugar may be
placed in shallow dishes throughout
the house. It will attract the Hies,
and every fly that drinks it will per
ish.
Peace by disarmament receives a
notable impetus from the order of the
war department discontinuing the sale
at auction of obsolete firearms dis
carded by the United States army. If
our friends in Central America are too
poor to buy new guns when the notion
seizes them to set up a revolution and
overthrow a government, they must
perforce keep quiet and let the exist
ing government alone if they can no
longer buy cheap, but good, old guns
from us. Thus does war become more
and more a luxury reserved for the
wealthy.
lowa has followed New York with r.
law against immoral theatrical per
formances. The outbreak of the "Sa
lome" craze has aroused public opin
ion, apparently, to the extent of de
manding legislative interference. As
American public opinion is, in the
main, a healthy growth, the late flood
of pruriency on the stage has brought
about its own correction.
Society women in New York who
wanted to put on masculine attire to
play ] 010 were not allowed to do so,
but a Connecticut woman was permit
ted to work in overalls, on a public
road, breaking stone. The ideas of
womanly decorum seejn to be rather
mixed or, perhaps, are geographically
defined.

I STRANGLED TO DEATH
PARTLY DECOMPOSED BODY OF A
j YOUNG LADY FOUND.
The Body, Which Was Packed in a
| Dilapidated Trunk, Believed to be
Gen. Sigel's Granddaughter.
i
New York City.—Elizabeth Sigel,
daughter of Paul Sigel of this city,
and granddaughter of the illus
t trious Franz Sigel, the German war
. rior who enlisted his services with the
Union army during the civil war, is,
1 according to all indication, the victim
» of one of the most sordid murders in
t the history of New York. If she is not
5 the victim, the police are confronted
with a remarkable series of coinci
: dental facts.
j Taken from a trunk in a room of a
Chinaman above a chop suey restau
rant in the Tenderloin, the body, in a
. state of decomposition which makes
identification difficult, lies in the
I morgue, while detectives are coilect
. ing the threads of a tangled story in
volving the girl and her associations
. with Chinese. An envelope addressed
. to the girl, found in the room where
the body lay, a locket bearing her ini
tials, her disappearance on June 10,
. and a note found in the room, signed
. "Elsie," all seem to indicate that
Franz Sigel's granddaughter was mur
dered. The body was partially strip
. ped of its clothing, tied with ropes,
wrapped in a faded blue blanket and
. crammed into a dilapidated old trunk,
112 where it lay for a week at least be
fore the odor crept through the build
, ing, arousing the suspicions of the
. phlegmatic proprietor of the restau
rant below, who summoned the police
and instituted an investigation.
I Sun Leong, proprietor of the restau
[ rant, who also conducted the rooming
house above, disappeared shortly af
. ter the discovery of the murder, add
t ing further to the mystery. The case
has many unusual features, notable
. among which is the fact that a China
i man has been known to call at the
Sigel home, presumably with the sanc
r tion of the parents. Elizabeth, or El
t sie, was 20 years old, and was greatly
r interested in work among Chinese.
Later. — Mrs. Paul Sigel, when
j shown the jewelry found in the trunk
- containing the body of the murdered
girl in a Chinese rooming house in
3 Eighth avenue, identified it as that
i worn by her daughter Elsie. A woman
; settlement worker in the meantime
, had identified the underwear as that
worn by the girl.
' WRIGHT BOYS GET MEDALS
Entire Population of Dayton, 0., Turn
Out and Celebrate the Event—
Presentation Impressive.
Dayton, O. —Wilbur and Orrville
, Wright, the aviators, have received
t the medals awarded them by

LARGER EMPLOYMENT OF MEN
Advance Made in Industrial Activity
and Business Confidence Is
Fully Maintained.
New York City.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The advance recently made in in
dustrial activity and business confl
| dence is fully maintained. From the
leading cities come advices of wide
wholesale and retain distribution,
larger employment of labor, additional
work for contractors and builders, in
creased demand for manufacturing ma
terials, and satisfactory advance fall
