A FEAST OF PUN.
The Ex-Legislators Participate in a
Mock Session.

YESTERDAY the ex-legislators after two days
of seriousness and "reminiscences, dropped their
long faces and heartily entered into the funny
psrt--the mock session. 1t was an event of
much interest and the Hall of Representatives
where the fun was, was crowded with ex-
members and citizens at the hour of meeting
eager to enjoy \ hearty laugh, and they were
not disappointed. The keen wits Of many by
gone legislatures were on the war path and
prepared for businessmen whose forte was
to make people laugh The ladies were in at
tendance in large numbers and were interested.
perhaps and laughed more heartily than the re-
personalities of the stronger sex. Caller
les and standing room were crowded The
senators, after they came in, occupied chairs
at the left of the presiding genius in the
speakers desk and attempted to maintain due
decorum, but soon yielded to the mirth of
the hour. Clustered about the Speakers desk
were the kings OF frolc. The venerable
''Duke of Fort Kent for while forgot that
he had represented his constituents in the
Maine legislature at Is sessions, stood in
front of the Speaker and as page tripped
about among the fun makers nimble rs in
his boyhood days. The tramp of the COW
hide boots WAS heard as the sage of Chsse's
mills. the proprietor of them steers" came
in. Them steers were the butt of many

was one of the leading agitators of the dsv.
Keen and witty, ever ready with a funny
saying, he brought down the house repeated

Governor Wilson's address was the hit of the
day and the ex-legislators cheered with up
rosrious hilsrity again and again. Secretary
of State Humes' proclamation was a good
thing and everybody laughed. DIR. Martels
speech was funny, because no one under
stood it. 1t was delivered in French, with
Impressive gestures and mien. It raised
big laugh and the gallant doctor WAS
cheered to the echo. The order relative
TO the Fort Kent Dukes mileaget,as regarded
as funny. For hours hilarity reigned SUI
preme, and the ex-legislators were boiling
over with fun. Order after order, bristliug
with witicisms, was passed in and there was
nothing left unssid that was witty. Speaker
spotford presided with the greatest of ease
and President Porter said the right thing in
the right place.

CIxcrssATI, Ohio, May s.-Outwardly
there is very little apparent change in
the strike situation. The city en-
ployees have been voted ten hours pay
for eight hours work and number Of
individual manufactures have made
settlements with their men. but the
great mass OF the strikers remain idle.
There is but little indication of the
strike on the streets. There are but few
people in the streets and business
seems 10 be progressing as usual.
Orderly professions OF strikers have
passed through the streets every
day, but very promo unced
denunciation of violence and par
ticularly of socialistic methods has
given TO the public a sense of freedom
from danger of a riot. This feeling has
not been shared by the authorities.
For several days the First Regiment Of
Ohio National Guards has been on duty
night and day at its armory near the
Court House. Several hundred special
policemen have been appointed. Safety
organizations have been made all over
the city. At the Mayors request four
regiments of militia have been ordered
here by the Governor. The explanation
for all this preparation Is made to-day
for the first time. 1t is that the police
commissioners here discovered that the
socialists to the number of 600 are
organized and armed with effective rifles,
that they control here manufacturers
Of dynamite bomos; that the one used
in Chicago was made here and they
have now on hand for use a supply OF
these internal machines. The commits
sioners claim they have found tie name
of the manufacturer, William Haines.
Of Covington. Kentucky. This in con-
nection with the r'.mor that Herr Most
was il Covington last night gives some
piausibility to the fears of the authori-
ties and accounts for the apparently IN
usual precautions taken. The troors
ordered have not yet arrived. They
will probably be quartered in the
suburbs.
LATER.-The Seventh Regiment Of
the Ohio National Guards has arrived at
the Hamilton County Far Grounds.
and is going into camp. Other regi-
ments are expected before night. They
will be all cuarte ed at the Fair Grounds
or in that vicinity. distant but about
six miles from the city. The force will
have two field pieces and nine Calling
guns.

caused the strike, could have been sup
ported for much less sum and no strike
would have been necessary. No knights
