THE SEVEN WISE MEN.
Grand Lodge of the National Dfvfs- ion of the Order-Their Annual Thfs City

Grand Lodge of the National Divis-
 ion of the Order-Their Annual
 Gathering in This City.
 Last night Turn Hall presented a lively scene, it being the occasion of a social gath ering in honor of the fifty delegates to the Grand lodge of the national division of the order of ''Seyen Wise Men, :" which holds it's meeting in this city to day. This morning at Turn Halt the business meeting will be held and this evening grand banquet will be given the visitors by the local order and their lady friends. The society is old and widespread. It dates it's origin from revolu- tionary times. It was formed then chiefly of American and German-born residents of North Carolina and the neighboring States who were anxious to destroy British authori- ty on this side of the Atlantic. It afterwards became benevolent society and spread through the whole country. Those lodges that used the German language soon formed themselves into separate division, This division has now branches in almost every State in the Union. It has branch in this city, of which John Ffeysinger is president.

AN ASSAULT BY STRIKERS.
A Young Man Set Upon and Beaten
 Because He Would Work.

Because He Would Work.
 ATHoL, Mass, Sept. 6.-The first resort to violence in the labor troubles here cured Saturday night at about s o'clock. A young man from New Salem named Elmer w. Hatstatt, who had applied to the Lees for job last spring, was given work lest week. Some of the men who have been on the streets watching the shops talked with him and tried to persuade him to relnquish his work, saying that he was taking the'r jobs away from them, etc. Hatstatt thought differently and kept at work. He Lad been threatened with violence if he did not quit, but was on the street Saturday night with William Shepardson. Passing down Main street not far from the shops gang accosted Hatstatt and Shepardson and said they want ed to see the former. Suspecting their pu-- pose, the couple hurried along, but as soon as they were out of the gaslight the whole gang set upon Hatstatt, who is little fellow, and kicked him without mercy. A cry of police was raised by Shepardson and some citizens appearing the gang rushed down the street and disappeared Hatstatt was serl- ously hurt. The factories are running with quite number of new hands. There are sixty-thre at work in the Starr-Lee shop and fifteen in Auburn Lees, making 11S in all against 25 week ago.

AXES AND AxEMEN.
The Once Numerous Race OF Choppers and
Hewers Dying Out.

Tho Once Numerous Race OF Choppers ant
Hewers Dying Out.
"Ah! it was something to be a good
axeman fifty years ago. said gray.
haired gentleman, as he faced an array
OF axes in Lake street establishment.
"But the race of choppers and hewers
Is dying out giving place to modern
methods. Many is the sharp contest |
have witnessed in pioneer communities
for the distinction Of being called best
axeman. I've chopped bit myself, /"
he added in meditative way, as he
rubbed a polished poll against his cheek.
Nv hen some great timbers are wanted
which must be true in every line and
cut with the grain long search has
to be made to find a competent broad
aSeman. When he is found he is nj
ways an old man, and his skill, his
truth of hand and eye, and the long.
thin shavings that fall from the broad
edge OF his axe, as from plane, are
wonderful to the young generation of
artisans. The old broad-axeman is a
link between old methods and new.
"Small men make the best choppers
as a rule. Their superior skill more
than compensates for the greater
strength of big men. A true eve and
the ability to strike each alternate blow
IN precisely the same place, coupled
with great endurance, are the REQUISITES
OF good chopper The expert axeman
looks as closely TO the length, shane
and bevel of his blade, the form of the
helve and poll, and the weight of the
axe as the fencer to his foil. The weight
OF the axe is matter of preference for
the individual. Not so much with the
shape of the axe. If the object be TO
cut small timber, which may be severed
with from one to half dozen blows, an
IKE with long, thin blade and as little
oevel as compatible with strength is |
;hosen, and at every stroke the blade is
buried to the helve. If it is intended TO |
ell large trees or cut large timber this
Ike would bite deeply at each stroke,
tut the cnip would remain in the log
liter the incision was made AMI would
equire more blows for its dislodgment
han for its formation. Therefore for
his purpose the axeman picks out an
Ike having thick blade with a sharp
evel, which acts as a wedge and forces
ut the chips at the same stroke which
1akes the incision. OF course this axe
iii not cut as deeply into the wood at
aeh blow as the thinner bla ded one.
~ our true axeman despises double
tilted axe, and for good reason. Tho
oil is necessary to give the blade the
roper force and direction. These
lachine-made handles are an abomin-
Ton. A bad helve doubles the strain
n the chopper and soon wears him out.
o. good chopper wants any one TO
lake his handle for him. He has his
eas about size, length and flexibility,
I'D you had just as well talk about 2
'mmon pattern in false teeth as in axe
indies. Is it not funny that in this age
inventions no one has improved on
e axe OF our grandfathers? The only
iierence between those now sold and
e ones made one hundred years ago is {
at the hammer marks are now ground
t and little better polish put on" ,
