ELEVEN YEARS OLD.
The Church of Christ Celebrates
an Anniversary.

@h
About the pleasantest event of a
social nature that occurred last night
was the one given at the Church of
Christ TO commemorate the eleventh
anniversary of the society. The at
tendance was splendid, despite the
cold and clustering weather. and
the artists who contributed so
largely to the success and
pleasure of the evening were
well rewarded by the large need of
praise accorded to each one of them.
Miss Olive Bentley. young lady with
a pleasant, musical voice, read an essay
that was very well received. Miss Mat
tie Ankeny recitcd in splendid style.
the rest of the programme beng duet
by MeSSrs. Denton and Jewell, the an
niverSary essay read by DIR. Benton
and some capital singing by Prof. Ed
wards. He arrived almost too late to
do anything. but amply made up by
singing in splendid style ballad called
Thursday" followed by a comical skit
about German youth serenading his
girl who was snoring in bed.
The church has grown from a small
band of twenty-fOur members tG strong
and harmonious society with the mem
bership running up in the hundreds.
Rev. }. }. Hall, of the First Baptist
church, said few hopeful words about
the ambition Of the congregation in
building up new and more com
mOdi0us church. and said he hoped
eleven years from now they might be
all in that greater building, and once
more celebrate an anniversary. At the
conclusion of the exercises an informal
time was had, in which light refresh
mentS were passed around. Rev. Lha-
mon, pastor of the church, presided in
his usual happy way.

NORTON TO THE FRONT.
He Will Sue the Star-News---AId
GleaSOn'S EyplanatiOn.

He Will Sue the Star-News---AId.
GleasOn's Explanation.
John Norton, the coal and wood deal
er, has prepared the papers for an ac
ton in libel against the Star-News, de-
handing $4,000 damages. Some time
ago Aid. Garvey, of the Thirteenth
ward. who is farmer by profession,
and who thinks he knows something of
wood, virtually charged Norton with
SWindling the city in his wood contract.
This was not directly charged, the alder
man only going as far as to intimate
there was Niger in the wOOd-pile.
Norton served notice of retractiOn, as
required by law, upon the Star-NewS,
but the latter got behind Garvey
and lays it to him, claiming it was only
quotation. Norton says that will not
his suit. Aid. Gleason, member of
the same committee, contributes the
following TO the literature of the case:
aid. Kerr and myself measured
two lots of wood of about twenty-five
yards each. The wood was not piled
as compact as it should have been. We
called Mr.. NOrtOn'S attention to the
matter, and he discounted enough off the
measurement, in our judgment, to make
good the deficiency. The last lot of
wood received in the yard, and the one
which Aid. Garvey makes so much
noise about, was not accepted by Norton
at the time he saw it, neither was it
inspected, measured or accepted by
Aid. Kerr and myself. When Aid.
Garvey was not present at the time of
our measuring the wood, how does he
know whether the city was cheated OF
not? AS for our taking advantage of
his absence, is false, as we never could
meet him. [ could not, at least. The
alderman having lived half his life
among the woods his mind wanders on
wood topics, and his head contains a
little sawdust, also. Numerous electric
lights in the vicinity of his farm are
nothing compared with a few feet of
wood in his estimation. Those very
honest people who proclaim their
honesty SO loudly in my opinion will
bear Watchingo

Hon. Charles A. Gilman, of st. Cloud
i'll speaking at the Nicollet house last
night, of the Whiteman election law,
said: Il think it is one of the grandest
laws ever passed by the legislature, and
after we have held an election under it,
the people living in the cities, for whose
benefit the law is mainly framed, will
all agree with me. The New York
election law, after which this one is
copied, Is as near perfect as any cleo
ton law can be, and l wish ;sit
had been copied verbatim. The only
persons who will find fault with it are
those who wish to see fraud in elections
and a few chronic OtflceholderS who
have always been drag on the ticket,
and who cannot be elected on their mer-
its. Heretofore this class has succeeded
III being elected on account Of the pOpu-
larlty OF some OF the men on with them,
whose popularity was sufficient to carry
through the entire ticket .if
That genial fellow Ben Tuthill, bust
ness manager of The Golden Giant
Nine" arrived in the city yesterday,
wearing more flesh than usual ard a
large cape OvercOat that created q. a
breeze every time. minneapolis will
still continue to grow" said Ben, ''her
population is Like 1.-The Golden Giant
Mines" receipts always on the in
crease"
I'VE have made tremendous hit
with the play wherever we have pre-
scented it, and we opened Monday night
at the Haymarket theater, Chi
cagO. to a little over $1,000.
''The Golden Giant Mine'' is purely
American play, and in the role of BeS-
sic Fairfax Mrs Mckee Rankin, the well
known cOmedienne. has made a hit as
distinct as that of Bully Piper in "The
Danites." We had an amusing Incl
dent occur to us at Montreal. When
Mrs. Mckee Rankin was last in Cali
fOrnia she secured the services of a
likely Monaghan, who had the art of
cooking. rarely perfected, and has since
since shown a capability of acting.
Lately he has been playing the parts of
the Chinaman in 1.-THE Golden Giant
Mine," and has been billed as a regular
actor. In December the com
ada, and Chinese consular
passport was secured for All Fook from
Gee Shaw Haw at New York. The
party embarked merrily. and all went
well until the port of Montreal was
reached when the unfortunate All Fo0k
was seized as dutiable goods. A printed
notice to the effect that IF any dissatis-
faction exists as to the rate or duty col
iected, this receipt should be presented
to the custom house or sent
by mail with statement of facts to
the collector of customs, who will correct
all errors and give such explanation as
may be desired. Dissatisfaction was eX-
pressed, whereupon the chief controller
replied i'll form that Mr.. All FoOk,
whom you describe as an actor and also
a servant of Mrs. McKee-Rankin does
not come within the exemptifcation in
the fourth section of the Chinese act" 1t
is fair to suppose that Canada will not
be Oyer-run by Chinese actors.

LABOR SHOULD ORGANIZE.
Sentiments of Samuel Gompers,
the Prominent Trades Union

Sentiments of Samuel Gompers,
list.
Samuel GomperS, of New York, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Trades, delivered talk to workingmen
at Plummer hall last evening. The
room was comfortably filled, and what
he had to say was complacently and in
diligently listened to. Mr.. Gompers is
short, stout man, with rather the look
OF Spaniard and the accent of an En-
glishman. His heavy hair. eyes,
dropping mustache, the tuft be-
meath his lower lip and his
complexion are all dark. His speech is
deliberate and emphatic and his voice
full and SonOrOus. He is not an orator.
and Was frequently at loss for words,
though his lecture was terSe and fOrci-
bic, and dealt III fact rather than argu-
ment. In the beginning he occupied
some little time in emphasizing the fact
that all wealth is created by labor: that
nothing, from the diamond which gilt
terS Oh the shirt bosom of the
dude, 10 the highly carved wooden
balustrade, has any value beyond what
labor bestows. He then showed that
many tOiled and few idled, and that to
the tOilerS belonged the fruit of their
toll; yet, under the economic system of
the day, the harder and more disagree
able the work the smaller the pay,
while those who worked not at
all received the most. The
bees show the same system.
The workers produce the honey
while the drOneS do nothing but eat it;
out it occasionally happens that the
workers turn about and sting the bees
to death. lie would not advise just
such a course with men, but he would
advise that they establish the law that
only those who produce shall enjoy;
that the dr0nes shall have less honey
and the workers more; then con-
tinue the process until the work
ers have it all and the dr0nes
none. Considerable applause greeted
this. The speaker dwelt with con-
siderable feeling upon the underpaid
wOrkingwOmen of the country. but re-
served his elOquence for the denuncia-
ton of the child labor of our factories
and workshops. AS for the condition of
workingmen, he did not feel that he
could sympathiZe with them, as they
had it entirely in their power to provide
and enforce the remedy.
After some further time occupied in
depicting the abuses under which labor
suffered, he took up the subject of Or
ganization and earnestly advocated it,
What was one mans wrong was an in
jury to all labor, and the difficult
branches should stand together. He
did not advocate strikes or bOycOttS, but
thorough organization SO as to present a
solid, One-man front to oppression.
