goey to eat. Recently they sold a

Hoinething over 125 guests. It seems
simply imjxjbuJhlc for those with a
good appetite to refrain from eating
where Mr. and Mrs Dove preside.
They place abundance and splendid
assortment of nicely cooked victuals
at the disposal ot guests, and Invite
them to fill up for 15 cents. The
Dove Restaurant at 10 West lleno
seems to be the best effort yet. II
requires an array of help and 'bushels'

There are hundreds of people In the

Barney Cohen, former president of
the Illinois State Federation of Labor,
has been appointed Chief Deputy Fac-
tory Inspector b> Governor Deneen.
Labor men throughout the State and
ill the city of Chicago are pleased over
the appointment, as it Is the first time a
member of organised labor has been
placed in the position.
•Cohen, who hus been a member of
the Cigurniakers' Union sine 1886, was
instrumental in framing the present
child-labor law. acting at the time In
the capacity of president of the State
Federation, lie has bene a deputy In
the factory Inspector's office since last
July, and his promotion by Governor
Deenen Is regarded by labor men as a
distinct recognition of labor unions.
Since the withdrawal of John Mitch-
ell from the gubernatorial race lead-
ing representatives of labor generally
art* flocking to the standard of Gover-
nor Deenen. The coal miners are said
to be a'inost solidly with lilni because
| of the legislation which has been
passed iu their interests under his ad-
ministration.
