A National shame.

1t appears that every delegate to
the Pan-American Congress who
visited John Wanainaker's store in
Philadelphia was presented with a
souvenir" in the shape of a descript-
i've volume, handsomely bound, and
containing a detailed description OF
the mart. With each souvenir came a
letter, couched In the following
terms:-
DEAR sn-Confdent of our commanding
position in the mercantile world as leaders In
the retail commerce, and believing that we have
reached the highest point yet attained in our
country in the science of retail trading, we beg
leave to ask your acceptance of this souvenir of
your visit to our place of business in the hope
that it contains Information of sufficient interest
to warrant its submission to your government
as a portion of your report upon the honorable
congress to which you are accredited.
This strange epistle was signed with
a facsimile of the Postmaster Generals
autograph.
Now, we do not pretend to make
one word of comment at this time
upon this proceeding. We merely ask
is there an American living, be he Re
publican or Democrat, who does not
feel the blush of shame surging to his
temples when he thinks of this opera
ton?

On the arrival of a passenger steamer
from st. Briene the commander informed
the police that a woman, attired as a man,
was on board. She had, it appeared,
taken a passage from st. Briene, but the
captain, having noticed certain peculiari
ties about the passenger, on reaching that
port, summoned a medical man n he
declared that the pseudo man was really
"a woman. He further certified that she
was suffering from slight conclusion of
the brain, and the French authorities, in
view of her mysterious conduct, refused
to allow her to land
On the steamer entering the harbor of
81. Heller the woman took a cab and pro-
ceeded to q boarding house, where she
had previously lodged for some time
under the name of Louis Hermann. She
had every appearance of manhood, and
from her easy department it is evident
That male attire was no novelty to her.
she wore a fur waistcoat, q hat, a turned
down collar. She smokes a long pipe or
cigar with an air of one accustomed to
the habit. Left an orphan at the age of
thirteen, she then resolved to adopt the

age of ifty-fve, so that forty-two years
she has been travelling the world and has
been known as a man.
Her calling has been that of a courier,
and in that capacity she has travelled
widel. She has a knowledge of several
Continental languages, and is otherwise
well informed. The name by which she
was generally known was Louis Her
mann Tobosh, but in some cases she las
dropped the last name and simply called
herself Louis Hermann. During the last
year she had a balance of upward of ESQ
to her credit in a banking firm, but 1t is
not known whether this has been drawn
upon. When arrested by the Jersey
police at the boarding house she had only

The sensation at the Hotel del Monte
Monterey, now Is the pretty Senorita
ISABEL Echequer, the richest heiress in
Mexico, whose father is worth $50, 600, 900.
Senior Francisco Echequren is a CaStillian,
who came to Mazatlan many years ago,
engaged in the importing business,
gained a large fortune, and is 0 known
as the Vanderbilt of the western coast of
Mexico. He owns about half of Mazat-
lan's iron and cotton mills and millions
of acres of good land. His greatest sue
cesses, however, have been in mining.
He owns the rich Guadaloupe de Los
Reyes silver ledge near Cosala, 100 miles
from the capital of Sinaloa; the Guada-
loupan, at Rosario, besides large interests
in many others.
The first named mine is very old, hay
ing been worked for over hundred
years. The other is comparatively new.
These and others which he owns are pro-
ducing large fortunes annually; esti-
mated at from 500, 900 to 81. ZOO, 900 each.
The story Of Monte Cristo seems to find a
v~erification in the life of Senior Eche-
qurem. The Senorita is a demi blonde of
seventeen, tall and willowy, with fair
complexion and auburn hair. She gets
her dresses from Worth, and her dia-
monds are the envy OF the rich girls
here.
According to the custom of her nation
cher father is a native of old SPAIN, she is
accompanied by a rather austere duenna,
who is always with her when she goes
into the surf and even in her walks. This
has caused much anguish among several
prominent young men, whose hearts the
young lady has captured. Every day
when she visits the beach there is strife
among her admirers as to who shall pay
her the most attention. Senorita Eche-
quren will inherit one-third of her
fathers wealth, which makes her one of
the richest girls this side of the Atlantic.

d and Boy.

Judge Burr recently performed a mar
rage ceremony of a rather remarkable
character. The groom was Horace War
ner, aged twenty-one years, and the bride
was Mrs. Annie Brown, a widow OF fifty
five. The bride has been living with her
daughter and SOn-in-laW, John Gibbons,
on a farm in Dakota county, and the
groom has been employed by Gibbons as
a farm hand. Gibbons and his mother-in-
law, to whom the farm belonged, were
wont to quarrel often and violently, and
the widow reasoned that If she could get
married again it would be an easy matter
to run the farm without Gibbons, and she
could get rid of him.
She cast her eyes about her in search of
q proper man for a future husband. They
rested on the young and healthy Horace
Warner. She proposed to him secretly
and he accepted. He was delegated to
inform Gibbons of the match, for the
widow, who had known his wrath, feared
to speak. While hitching up a team of
horses to go TO the timber land for wood
at daylight, young Mr.. Warner plucked
up courage enough to tell his employer
all about 1t.
Gibbons flew into q rage and threatened
to shoot Warner if he did not give up the
idea of marriage with the widow. The
whole conversation was overheard by Mrs.
Brown, and when Gibbons had done
swearing vengeance and gone away she
slipped up to the side of her intended and
suggested that Warner, instead of driving
to the woods, should drive to the city and
she would come with him. Mounted on a
farm wagon rugged for hauling wood, he
in his overalls and she in her gingham
gown, they eloped. They had no trouble
in getting a license, and were maj and
wife thirty minutes after their arrival. A
few hours of shopping and gazing at the
city sights sufficed for their honeymoon,
and they went back to the farm at night
prepared to face the wrath of the son-fn-
law and his wife.-St. Louis Republic.

Labor Ll3OnieS Handled From
the Standpoint Of the
Toilep.

The members of the trade and labor
assembly and the trades-uniOnists have
reason to be pleased with the result of
the picnic held last Sunday afternoon.
The parade was a good one, and the at
fair a financial success. Both facts are
striking novelties in the history of or
ganized labor in st. Paul. No trade
and labor picnic has ever before sue
ceeded in defraying the cost of manage
ment, and the people who know every
thing had for weeks before the recent
picnic been assuring the committee that
an industrial parade in this city was a
moral impoSsibility. For all that the
feat was accomplished, and the assem-
bly, stands higher in its own estimation
and that of the public than it did a
month ago.
The retail statesmen Of the city are
beginning to appreciate the advantages
of shorter hours, and by organizing are
taking the proper steps to gain the con-
cesSion. 1t is quite likely that they
will be obliged to ask the aid OF other
organizations, as was done in MinneaD-
oils. The dealers were not so particu-
but when the organized working people
concluded to patronize only the stores
which closed early, then the employers
agreed to close early, ''just to Oblige the
wOrkingmen." The experiment will
be the more interesting in this city be-
cause several retail dealers less than
three months ago declared that ''they
never heard of labor organization in
ST. Paul, and were not catering to their
trade if they had any existence" The
present effort of the retail clerks, be-
sides having a beneficial effect upon
themselves, will also add to the stock
of knowledge possessed by such dealers
as the one just quoted.
The Wage Farmers Home association
still lives, despite the recent dissensiOns
in the ranks, and is adding to its list of
stockholders every week. The address
of Rev. S. G. Smith last night gave a
renewed impetus to the movement.

EIGHT-HoUR AGITATION.
Monthly Convention of the League
at Minneapolis To-day.


at Minneapolis To-day.
The state elght-hour convention meets
this afternoon at Hall No. 6, Labor
Temple, at $50. As far as possible, all
delegates have been personally notified
of the meeting, and all organizations
should take the necessary steps to have
all of their delegates present. The
meeting to-day will be both important
and interesting. The plan of holding
mass meetings has been successful
enough to warrant their continuance,
but new plans will have to be formu-
lated for obtaining literature and a
sufficient number of speakers to thor
oughly canvass the state. The State
league is the proper channel through
which such plans should come, and the
effectiveness of its work largely depends
upon the prompt and regular attend
anee of its delegates.
The Single Tax club meets next Tues
day evening at the reading room, 5O2
First avenue south. DR.. Albert Shaw
will deliver a lecture on the manage
ment of street railways in Europe. DIR.
Shaw is well-known writer on eco

unusual interest.
The Nationalist club meets next Tues
day evening at 1867 Hennepin avenue.
The club is rapidly increasing its men,
bership and expects to establish perma-
nent quarters before the next meeting.
An open meeting of the K. of L. as
semblies will be held in the main hall
of the Labor Temple Saturday evening,
Sept. IS. District Secretary L. ID. Luz
cas- is arranging for regular series of
such meetings, to be held during the
fall and winter. With proper manage
ment they may be made quite interest
ing, and serve to bring back many who
have careIessly allowed themselves to
be out of good standing.

MILL CITY TOPICS.

The committee in charge of the Lon
don strikers are quoted as saying that
they don't care about resolutions of
/ sympathy unless accompanied by hard
cash. Minneapolis workingmen didn't
quite understand their London brethren
it seems. and as consequence spent
nearly two hours Saturday evening,
Aug. 80, discussing the situation, and
finally sent prepaid cable mes
sage. If we had only known
care about that sort of thing, the energy
and time might have been more judi
! ciously spent in the discussion of local
| topics. London people are more indie
pendent than we; the Americon striker
always accepts resolution of sympathy
| and says, "Thank you" He doesn't
think of expecting cash subscription
every time.
The organization of the retail cloth
| ing statesmen and their effort to secure
! shorter hours, is causing general ag-
! itation among the working people of
| this city. Last Monday the early clos
| ing went into effect with all firms eX-
cept that of John Thompson, on Bridge
| square. Since then, Julius Reese, j. +.
OLStlC, o. 1OObDOCIllts IL M anu
S. Werth have reOpened their stores.
| The labor organizations have resolved
| to make the situation interesting for
| these dealers and give them lots of leiS-
ure time to wonder why the poor work
| ingman doesn't come up town IN the
evening to do his trading.
The first application of the Australian
| system of voting will be watched with
| peculiar interest by all workingmen at
| the coming election of alderman in the
Eighth ward. Those who are in favor
| of applying remedial measures to our
present system feel sure that the Aus
tralian system will secure free use of
the ballot, and in this way the people
| can accomplish any reform they choose
! to demand. A gentleman well known
as careful student of industrial prob
system of voting nor any similar meas
ure will secure to the masses the wealth
which they produce while certain class
still controls all natural Oppor-
tunities, and consequently all chan
nels of distribution. If the peO-
pie are insured perfect freedom
! to cast their vote it will be compare
| lively easy for the employer to make
not voting at all condition of giving
them work and they would be powerless
to resist. Experience will show the
more hopeful people that a change of
basis will accomplish the only real and
lasting good to the people, and these
remedial measure are almost waste of
time"
Of course there are many differing
views about the Australian system, and
z4al,
terest by all, so that its failure or sue
! nnSC may hp the sooner unclaimed

and the following resolutions were
adopted:

firm in this city to close its place of business

city have agreed TO give their statesmen the
shorter hours which this early closing meas
ure would assure, bids fair to cause collapse
