Galatea came across the Atlantic to

present this country. On the 7th the

An extraordinary fallacy Is the dread of
night air. What air can We breathe at night
but night ARR The choice Is between pure
night air from without and foul night air from
within.
Messrs. Thomas Shelby and Evan Young
have discontinued the use of tobacco in any
form, under a forfeit of a fifty dollar suit of
clothes from the first one to break over. or IN
propose Il compromise to the other. Roth
are already sorry for the bargain, hut each
one is fully determined that the other shall
he the one to ''liquidate."
Should the Missouri Pacific railroad finally
conclude to enov its city office to the denot
July list, the express company will rent a
room somewhere in the business portion q,
the town and have an Office of its own. as was
done before the consolidation of the OFFICES
last year. It's probable location will be the
old stand, near the postotice, with Geo
Logan in charge.

THE WORKINGMEN'S MEETING.
Organized Wage-W Workers Hold Mass Meet
ing at Mozart Hall.

A meeting Of workingmen, under the auspices
Mozart Hall last night Herman Hohenfeld pre-
sided and Paul Grotkau. of Chicago, addressed
the audience on the benefits of labor organza-
ton. Through it the lesseEing Of working
hours could be secured, and the detrimental in
fuence of piece work on the wage system dimin-
ished. Workingmen, he said, now see that they
can have strength only through organization
BY it they can get better class of positions, be-
sides having the means Of defense against injus-
tce All organizations of this kind are more or less
aggressive. One great injury to workingmen is
the system of letting contracts TO the lowest bid
ders. By this system contractors are compelled
to employ the cheapest labor A good many en-
ployers would better the condition of their en-
ployes if competition would allow them. He did
not think labor had much to boast of under our
Wanted country of liberty free speech and free
press He dweit upon the machine as being of
moro benefit to the capitalist than the working
man. 1t saves the capitalist money
but does not better the condition Of
the mechanic. The one great remedy lies In the
increase of those employed. The more men en-
ployed the higher viii be the wages. He was
followed by w. P. Smith, statistician of the
district assembly of the Knights of Labor, who
spoke generally on the condition of labor in this
country. He said there were 10, 600, 600 working
men in the United States, and of this number
100000 were idle. He proposed that tn aours
of labor for the employed be reduced anu the
idle brought to work for the remaining hours
thus cut off. Resolutions were adopted strongly
favoring eight hours work per day.
Mr. Grotkau will speak to the Socialists at the
same place this evening.

INDIANAPOLIS AND THE LEAGUE.
Nothing Accomplished by the Special Com
mittee in Yesterdays Meeting.

The chances of an Indianapolis club securing
or increased by yesterdays meeting, as will be
seen by the following dispatch. The condition
Of the application for such membership can be
regarded as favorable, outside of informal pref
erence given to Kansas City by some of the
committee:
NEW YORK, Jan. 16-A II. Soden, of Bos-
ton; A. G. Spaulding, Of Chicago; John b. Day.
of New York, and A. Reach, of Philadelphia, as
special committee of the National Base Ball
League to day sat in this city to determine what
two clubs to add to the League in place of the
disbanded clubs of Buffalo and Providence, or to
determine whether only six clubs, as at present,
shall constitute the membership Of the League.
The committee resolved to add Washington to
the roll, and the choice of the eighth club, from
Indianapolis, Kansas City or Milwaukee, should
be left to the CLUBS of the League in Chicago,
Detroit and ST. Louis. This conclusion was
based upon the assumption that the Western
clubs in the League are best fitted to judge
which of the three cities would be the most wise
favor of Kansas City. If not decided by the
committee before March 4, another session will
be held and the place filled.
The following resolution, offered by A. g..
Spaulding, was adopted without debate:
Resolved, That this committee recommend to the
League to remodel the constitution to require
each club deposit with the president of the League
So 600 IN yearly installtnents of 81 600, payable
during the month of March in each years said fund
is to constitute guarantee fund for the fulflmens
of the constitutional requirements of the League and
they shall deposit bonds Of $500 each.
This fund will, in time bear interest, and
build up large sum to be used for the benefit
Of the men of the League disabled in the field.
The result of the Western selection will not be
known before the expiration of fortnight.

An Appealed LIQUOR Case.

Judge Norton took under advisement yester-
day. after hearing conflicting testimony. the APP
pealed liquor cases against Charles Goetz and
Jacob Hoffman. The former is accused of sell
ing liquor after the legal hours, and the latter of
dispensing intoxicating drinks on a legal hoii-
day. Hoffman said two men came into his sa-
loon. one calling for ginger-ale and the
other cider. He drew the cider from q
key in beer cooler. The ginger ale customer
testified that he drank that liquid, but he did not
know what his partner had. Opposed to this
was the testimony of the arresting officer, who
said the two glasses were filled by drawings from
the same faucet, and they contained beer
Charles Goetz was positive that ne sold no
liquor after IL o'clock. "The officer came in" he
explained. land saw me sell to couple Of Gus
toners. He told me to consider myself under
arrest. l replied All right, and pulled out my
watch. BY it, which always keeps correct time,
it wanted four minutes of being IL o'clock. The
officer testified that. by the barroom clock, it was
twenty minutes after IL o'clock.
