Last Sunday afternoon, in pursuance of
an invitation extended to all trade organiz-
atoms and Knights of Labor assemblies in
st. Paul. delegates from nearly all OF them.
met at labor headquarters on jackson street
to organize an educational society. The
plan unfolded in the invitation to the
Trades assembly. cOntemplates an effort
which is as unique as it is original. All
trades organizations are requested to send
in essays on a subject previously selected.
1t is presumed that half dozen or more
members belonging to union will be deS-
ignated as the writers of an essay
on Organization" From this half dozen
sent into the union. one shall
be selected as the choice of that union,
which. in turn, will be presented at the
general meeting of the entire delegates and
their friends. SO it will appear that twenty
or thirty essays on Reorganization" have
been written in the first place, out OF which
will be culled five as the product of the lit
erary effort of five unions OF assemblies.
After this number has been read to the as
Semblage, criticised and discussed by
committee of judges, one shall be awarded
the choice as the best production On ''Or-
ganization," both in point OF excellence in
composition and originality in analysis.
The name of the individual who inspired
THE WINNING ESSAY
will not be published, nor even mentioned.
as it is the aim of the Amalgamated Literary
association to sink personality in the COM
mon veal. and the essay will be spoken of
only as the product of the union or assem-
bly, from which it emanates.
After deliberatiOn, the delegates last
Sunday adopted the name which they now
assume, and appointed committees on
organization and bylaws. Friday evening
another meeting was held to further the
undertaking, j. F. CrOnin in the chair. So
much of the bylaws as were drawn
up and read were adopted. 1t
was resolved for the present that
these contemplated meetings should
not be thrown open to the public. only
union men holding membership cards and
presenting them at the door being allowed
entrance.
/ The subject selected for the opening en-
tertanment is Organization, and four
organizations have been designated to pre-
pare papers. Next Sunday afternoon at
O'Clock, in Labor hall, OH Jackson street,
the first regular meeting of the association
will be held. and the literary entertainment
inaugurated.

Life Made u Burden by Fear of Ac-
cidentS.

New York Tribune.
There are some people for whom the re-
cent reduction in the elevated railroad fares
has no interest. They would not ride on
an elevated road if a ticket cost nothing,
with prize package thrown in. They are
the people in whom fear is abnOrmally de-
velOped. and who live in constant terror OF
being injured by accident The feeling
seems to be constitutional, and no amount
of experience will lessen its acuteneSS. 1t
injects misery into every pleasure. There
is no place where person with this feeling
can 90 in safety. On the street there is
constant danger of being run over or struck
on the head with a falling brick. or OF
tumbling into holes. No matter what the
heighth of building an elevator cannot be
taken. Elevators are unsafe. Food is
eaten with the idea that it is pc sonous. A
gas jet awakeS thoughts OF asphyXla and
lighted lamp sends thrill of agony into
the soul. A steam boiler is a torpedo with
the fuse burning brightly, and ride on the
cars is journey to the grave Everything
that is looked at is viewed with the posi-
bility of accident and personal injury.
Such people are not numerous. but they
exist. Everyone has seen the man who
anteed to carry million pounds and who
would cross the street to pass building in
course of erection. Dr.. Ball, the French
physician, tells of a man who recently came
to him to see if something could not be
done to conquer this fear of being hurt by
accident. The patient was young man
and was engaged to be married to girl i'll
distant village. When the marriage day
arrived he went to the depot to take the
train for his sweetheart's home, but could
not overcome his dread of riding on the
cars, and the wedding had to be postponed.
Dr. Ball considers this peculiar manifes-
tatl0n a form of insanity, in which an imag-
mary danger becomes real. and can no
more be overcome than any other kind OF
delusion. This condition is thought to be
due to nervous shocks given to children
when young by sudden frights, not from
the presence of any real danger, but from
attempts by older people to brighten them.

THE WAY WE DID IT.


We made our home as bright and fair
As willing hands could make it,
IT laughed with sunshine everywhere,
And many coy nook was there
When Maggie came to take it;
just such spot where leve might dwell,
And loyal hearts protect it well.
But, oh ! the sunlight and the song,
The heaven Of Joy that thrilled it;
The love that made its life so strong,
And shed sweet music all day long,
Was one dear life that filled it;
Sweet angel by the hearth was she,
Who gave her girlhood love to me.
The shadows fall. as fall they must;
The tempest raved around u.s.
Full many hope lay in the dust,
And yet our faith looked up in trust
To Him whose blessing found US
We shut the door in sorrows face
And kept for love the inner place.
We called our troubles kinder names,
And put themin loves keeping
We heard. but laughed at pleasures claims
At fortune, worst OF tickle danes,
And kissed away our weeping
We took life's burdens, heart to heart,
Each seeking most the heavier part.
Some day the Masters voice will call,
And one of us must henr it
Pale death and darkness, shroud and pail,
May come, but will not end 1t all
We wait but do not fear it,
For parted hands again will press,
The hands they love. in blessedness.
