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.
