Rhode Island Supreme Court Hands
Down Important Opinion,
From Quiitan's Maga7lnc.
The Supreme court of Ithodo Island
hns recently handed down a most sig
nificant decision on the constitutionality
of a ten hour law, which will bo far
reaching In Its effect.
It has been a part of the tendency of.
civilization to shot ten the working day,
sometime bv mutual arrangement
through the Influence of tinde unions,
sometimes by legislation. With one or
two exceptions thus far the legislation
has been limited In Its application lo
women and children. This line was
drawn on tho theory that the children
are minors, and women nie wards of
the state, not being citizens and having
no voting rights.
The legislature of Rhode Island
passed a law restricting the working
hours of employes of street railway cor
porations to ten per day, and making
any contract to tho contraiy Illegal.
The bupremo court has Just decided
that this law Is constitutional, on tho
ground that It Is for the public good,
and In this opinion tho court hod only
one dissenting vote. The majority de
clared that "tho public safety cannot
be made dependent on private con
tracts." In other words, that workmen
shall be protected against being com
pelled by mere necessity to make con
tracts which endanger public safety.
The plea that laborers desire to make
a contract to work twelve and fourteen
hours a day Is sophistry; tta never was
true In practice. They make a contract
to work twelve hours because they are
not permitted to make a contract to
work less. This law Is not an Infringe
ment on the laborer's tight to make a
contract of twelve or fourteen hours,
but Is simply a protection to his light
to make a contract to work ten.

ifwjl's family PJUa oie the best,
Forestry on a, huger scale than has
over been attempted bcfoie in this
country by a private corpotatlon will
bo practiced In southeast Texas when
the Klrby Lumber company puts Into
use the working plan for its lands to
be prepared by the National Buicau of
Foiestiy.
The lumbering operations of the
Kirby company are probably the largest
In the world. They extend over a tract
of a million nnd a quarter acres of pine
hinds, which contain about SO per cent,
or all the longleaf pine of Texas a vast
single body of vligln forest reaching
out over s.cqii counties, nnd uninter
rupted except for the dealings aiound
the villages and farms which it incloses.
This great forest is estimated to have
contained, uncut and the estimate is
low six and a Quarter billion mer
chantable feet of lumber, board mens
mi The cuttings aheady made amount
to only a small peicentngo of what the
great foiest originally contained.
The company operates seventeen
mills, which now make an annual mt
of 2:0,000,000 feet, board measure, and
Mippoits a population of l,",,000 people.
Since the forest Is niatuie and is helped
rather than banned by the culling ot
the larger trees tho annual cut is to be
intveased to 400,000,000 teot. In addition
to the trees- u.srd for lumber, which aic
cut clown to as low a diameter as
twelve Inches, 7,000,000 ties are being
cut out of the forest fiom trees be
tween nine and twelve Inches In diam
eter to fill a contiaet with the Santa Fe
railioad.
Must Protect Itself.
It Is just because its opeintions nie
on such a huge stale that the Kliby
company has decided it must piotect
Itself by adopting some system of for
I'stiy. Large as Its holdings ate, un
less they nie pioperly managed and
protected they must sooner or later bo
exhausted.
liven if tho obligation.? to the 15.000
people dependent for a living on tho
lumbeiing operations should be ignored,
the Investment made In mills and
equipment Is too gre.u to iinpciil by
exhausting the timber .supply.
Foie.stry inches little encouiage
niPnt when the pi nuts or lumbering- aio
small, tho mnrketi) poor, and the oper
ations conducted with dlfliculty; but on
the Kiiby trai t these conditions aic re
versed. The company is making n high
prallt on its timber, tho demand tor
lumber is excellent and lumbering oper
ations are undo cNceedlngly easy by
the lay of the land nnd the condition of
tho forest. Tho lands mo in Jasper,
Sabine, Hardin, Newton, St. Augustine,
Angelina, nnd Tiler counties and woro
bought with an eye to simplifying and
cheapening lumber emulation-;. The labor
supply io steady, and a railroad runs
thiough tho foiest fiom not th to south.
Last winter Ovuiton W, I'llce, assist
ant chief, nnd Thomas ir. Shn,,-.,r,i
field assistant, of the Buienu ot For
estry, made a nrclimlnaiv examination
of the lands at the company's request
nnd leturned a leport stating tho lines
along which forestry might be prac
ticed with prollt in the Klrby company's
foiest. Tho company accepted the ie
port and ashed thut a complete woik-
Ing plan be made. Tho task of prepar
ing this w oi king plan began November
13, and will be in charge, of Mr. Sher
rard. who Is an expprt on Southern
pines. Thirty meiuestabllbhed In tlueo
camps, will make the measurements
and gather tho figures on which tho
plan will bo based,
Several problems must bo worked out,
whoso solution will be or value wher
ever lumbering Is practiced in tho long
lear pino belt. Tho most Inipoitnnt of
these is tho fire problem. Tho first ne
cessity In planning for lurther crops on
lumbered lands Is to piotect those lands
from fires, which kin tho reproduction.
Light fires repeatedly burn over the
forest floor In the longleaf forest, and
while they do no damage to the large
trees, all tho young giowth is killed.
Tho fiio problem, In Jelly stated, Is
whether It Is best to attempt to pio
tect nil the forest or to limit the mo
tection to rut-over nieas, Since the
longleaf pine In live years nttuins a ble
large enough to piotect Itself fiom any
but the severest flies, It Is probable
that the system of Jho piotcctlon will
apply only to lands cut over within the
last live years.
The cutting of trees for railioad ties
brings up for settlement a matter or
Interest not only to the Klrby company,
but to every tie company In the coun
try, On the Klrby lands trees between
nine and twelve Inches in diameter are
used for ties, and trees above twelve
Inches are cut into saw timber, Tlie
question has been raised by the bureau
whether It would be better to allow all
the trees twelve Inches and under to
grow Into the more valuable saw tim
ber, and get the ties out of the tops of
the larger trees. ' A great deal of meas
uring and calculating will have to be
done to settle this point, i

Romance; night, "A Nutmeg Match."
A Trying Situation.
Robert Kdeson, now tho successful star
of "Soldleis of Fortune," which will bo
presented nt the Lyceum tonight, made
his first appearance with Chailei Froh
inan's forces In Chicago during tho
World's Fair. He had been sent there to
replace Cjill Scott in "The Gill I Left
Ilehlnd Me." Shoitly after bis arrival,
Thomas Oborle, who was plajlng tho
Irish sergennt, was summoned to New
York cltv because of the dangerous Ill
ness ot his bi other. Tho stage manager
asked Mr. Udcson If ho would Jump in
and help him out ot a hole.
It was only a bit, and Kdeson readily
consented. Lines, business even dialect
were casliv acquired, but the costumo
proved to bo an almost unsurmountable
dlfliculty. Oborle was thin not to ay
attenuated while Kdeson, who was then
moio "stockily built" than now. Ho
stiuggled Into them, and aside from the
fact that ho was altogether too tilg and
too natty for comfoit, evervthng pro
grcsed satisfactorily until tho thbd act,
where he was supposed to carry tho
djlng Indian girl, plaied by Kathcrlne
Florence, from the stage.
Kdeson Is partlculaily proud of his ath
letic prowess, and when the stage mana
ger asked him If ho were equal to tho
task of lifting Miss Floionce, ho replied:
"K.isv I'd like to do It with ono hand."
When the moment arrived. Fiank Mor
dauut, who was plavlng the geneial, ex
claimed: "llv God hc's dead," then,
turning to IMcson, said, "Lift her up,
scigc.iut." ndeson, chest thrown nut,
stalked across the tage and prepared to
bend over giaccfully. He was held as
though In a vice. Ho attempted to kneel
on one ktipo, tiling first one and then tho
other, but tho tiousers were made of
material hardlv mom pliable than an oak
Iioaid Tho audltots began to titter, and,
Kdeson growing despeiate, tried to mani
pulate the limp bodv of Mbs Florence
with his feet, so th.it by raising her a
little he inlslit clutch at her gnimcnts.
Ho prnvvd that tho tiousers might split
am thing that would cuablo him to bend
over. He mado a fiightful effort, with
the lesult that Mls Florence's head and
heels ramo suddenly together, doubling
her up lllee a jack-knife. Morrinunl,
struggling for composure, ejaculated, af
ter an interval, "Prlvato Jenkins, nsst
lour sergeant, be is evidently stiffened
lrom ovposuic." Kvcrjbody In the au
dience and on the singe was hilariously
amused. Strange to say. Miss Florence
nevf-r saw the joke, and It took Mr. Kdo
son some sl month to assuage her in
jured feelings.
THE MARKETS.
Wall Stieet Rovlow.
New York, Nov. 11 The most note
worthy fcntuio of today's market wan tho
steady nnd porslstcnt, although modciato
liquidation, Operations wcro again com
paratively small and luofesnlonal thiough
out, such Improvement ob was shown nt
ume3 Doing duo chlelly to covering by tho
short Interest. Opening prices wcro Ir
regular nnd lather under tho Loudon
lovel, Manhnttnn was tho conspicuous
featuro of tho cnllro day, opening with a
gain and selling to tho extent of 134,000
shares, with a net gain of 24 points. The
movement In this stock still laekB expla
nation. Other features of tho early trad
Ing wero Erie, United States Steel Issues
mm Coloindo Fuel, nil of which showed
Improvement. On tho other hand, Rend
ing, Union l'aclllc, Canadian Pacific and
St. Paul wero heavy, though not to a
mniked decree. Tho piolcsslonal ele
ment took the short side all through tho
early session in splto of the steadiness of
Sugar nnd Manhattan. Tho demand for
Sugar shares appeared to come fiom In
lllders. Louisville and Nashville was
steady, presumably as a lesult of the
latlflcatlon of the Atlantic Const deal.
Prices hold barely steady In tho eaily af
ternoon, though renewed picssuro was
brought to bear against St. Paul und
Loulsvlllo and Nasbvlllo lost all of Hi
early gain. Rook Island also fell orf and
Reading, which was fieoly offeied, sold
a point lower than tho previous dav's
closing quotation. Tho steadiness of Sugar
was partly attributed to tlio advance In
the leflncd products, but that stock closed
without change. A reactionary tendency
was manifested by Colorado 1'uel and
Iron nnd the steel stocks, American
Smelting, Amalgamated Copper, appeared
to have some support. Later St. Paul
rallied a trifle as did also Reading, while
Manhattan sold at the highest point or
the day nnd the top flguto rcuched In a
long time. The coming dividend in Sugar
was oueieci at l"f. per cent, which sug
gested the possibility or a reduction in
the dividend from 7 to C per cent. In tho
final hour the list reflected renewed sell
ing, which though moderate, was again
persistent and scattering. This movement
catrlcd prices down piactlcally all
thiough tho li't with tho exception of
Manhattan, which retained the gi cater
nait of its ndvance. Tlicio was an ut
ter absence of commission business. Lon
don bought and sold equally to the ex
tent or 20,000 shares, all of an aibltiago
character and tho closing was decidedly
weak. Total sales, 037,900 shaies. Rail
road bonds showed heaviness thioughout
the day but declines in tho actlvo issues
wcio small. Total sales, par value, J2,
090,000. United States bonds weie nil un
changed on the last call.

NUTRITION DURING SICKNESS.
Piom the lutcinallonal Monthly.
"It vvab formerly supim.sed to bo tho
destructive influence of the disease it
self, lather than a loudened supply of
food, that caused the reduction of
fleah," .s.i.s Ptofessor Van Noorden.
"So long as this view prevailed, less
weight was laid upon tho quantity and
calorie value of the food ivhlch the Hick
lite. They sought to obviate tho hm in
fill liillticuce of tho (IIhcuho upon tho
uuurlHliltie ot tho body by piescilblng
certain dishes and foi bidding others'.
Impoi hint as a light selection of dishes
may bo, yet, lacking the safe guidance
of the thcoiy of metaboIlsm.Uhey vvnn
deied oft Into all snrtB of stumgo va
garies nnd useless niceties-. Mero sldo
Issuea weio regaided ns of primary Im
portance, and this piejudlce 1ms not
died out to this day. Not until It was
icalied how much the loss of flesh on
the part or the invalid depended on In
sufficient uomlHliinent, did. dletetlo
tbeiapy venluio to meet the undesli.ible
loss of weight by using every means
to lneicase the supply of food. Keep
ing this aim In view, one will nuturully
be guided In the choice of dishes ami
tho hour j of entlng, etc., by the niituie
of the disease, and not less by tho In
dividuality of the patient. It Is tei-
talnly wonderful what remarkable sue
cesses havo been attained by it, and
under what illtllcult clicumstances tho
patient has been guurded lioni losb of
weight, unci the period of tonvaleseenca
Bhui toned. For Instance, foimeily, pa
tients with typhoid fever, or with ser
ious toptlc Infection, usually lost 25 to
30 per cent, of their weight. Hy the
piesent methods of nutrition, tho loss
of weight Is only a smull percentage;
I have, Indeed, treated sevei-al typhoid
fever patients who, duilng the peilod
of fever, actually gained a few pounds,
due to the cateful selection of the ia-tlon."
