st. Louis Master Builders Say They Will Not
Recognize the Union.
ST. LOUIS, April 1.-THE Master Builders
Association, Division No. 2, held a NEE ting
at Druid Hall last. with Pr resident r. w.
Morrison in the chair. The chief business
transacted is embodied in the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the master builders of st.
Louis; with a view of removing a wrong impress
| mind, reatfirm the resolutions that we adopted
on Feb. A. which were as follows:
Resolved, That we accept as a days work
eight hours from all carpenters In our employ,
and the rate per day to the best men, or the max
imum wages, shall be thirty-five cents per hour.
Resolved, That no man shall recognize the
Union of the Journeymen Carpenters as an or
ganization, but that we remain free to employ
all wOrkmen, whether members Of the union or
not.
In reference to the strike the following
resolution was passed:
This is no fight between the builders and work
men for wages or hours, being, as We consider it,
an effort of certain outside agitators to compel
the builders to recognize the Union of Journey
men Carpenters, which constitute a mall mem
bership of the carpenters OF st. Louis.
The document was signed by the names
of 1OS of the builders and building firms of
the city. The striking carpenters have
made arrangements for a parade on Mon
day. in order to show the master builders
the number OF men now in the ranks of the
strikers.
The striking carpenters to the number of
1900 met to-day and unanimously decided
to continue the struggle for recognition of
their union. They refuse to accept the of
fer of the master builders unless this recog-
milton is accorded. Communications from
other labor organizations were read, prof
fering sympathy and support.

His First Business Venture Was the Digging
and Selling of HOrse-Radish Roots.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Senator Stanford
was telling, the other day, how he earned
his first money and laid the foundation of
his fortune, and, strange to say, it was in
selling horse-radish roots. He was quite a
boy at that time, thirteen or four
teen years old, and lived with his
father In the Mohawk valley, on a
farm a few miles from Schenectady. After
school hours he used to dig horse-radish
roots, which the hired man carried to mar
ket every week and sold. Mr.. Stanford
said he often made as much as 10 shillings
a week in this manner but the great enter
prise of his youth was in cutting down a
field of timber and hauling the logs to the
saw-mill. This he did one winter, and col
lected several hundred dollars, with which
he paid for his lectures at the Albany Law
School.

In this nineteenth century the observance

Easter Sunday we try to find something
pretty and suitable to the occasion.

many novel shapes and designs for these
cards, and a number of different materials
may be used for them.
Heavy water-color paper. rice paper,
parchment. celluloid, and the ragged-edged
cards are all used with good effect.
Cut the water-cOlor paper into a square
card, and make the edges ragged and gid
them. Cut another card from the celluloid,
tie it at the corner to the paper with a tiny
ribbon bow. Bring the corner of the larger
card over and tie to the corner of the cellu.

must not be pressed down, but allowed to
roll over. On the celluloid paint an Easter
design, and an Easter motto in fancy letter
ing on the card paper.
There are several fancy shapes in which
these cards can be folded, but / cannot tell
you how to fold them without an ~illustra-
ton.
A prettyIcelluloid card is made by cutting
a piece four or five inches long and two of

chickens head and put up through the slit.
Paint the head as much like a chicken as
Easter egg. A whole chicken may be cut
from celluloid, painted and tied TO a velvet
or satin card by a tiny ribbon around its
neck, and If You wish something very nice
you can add a broken egg-sheil cut from

Talk About an Inquiry as to Responsibility
for the Samoan Disaster.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-During the past
week there has been considerable talk in
naval circles about the responsibility for
the recent disaster at Samoa. A number of
the most pronounced disciplinarians of the
service are not slow to condemn the action
of Admiral Kimberly in allowing the YES
sells to be caught in such a storm without
using some precautionary measures. This
was the season of the year
when hurricanes and tidal waves
might be looked for, and the
sailing directions plainly state this
fact. Many officers think, and especially
since the story of the escape of the British
steamer CalliOpe, that there Is sure to be an
investigation by a court of inquiry, The
loss of life and ships will have to be in
quired into. If there was coal enough to
get up steam on the ships, it was, they say,
Admiral Kimberly's duty to have fired UP
and run out of the harbor, as the command
er of the Calliope did. and then ride out
the gale. If it is found there was no coal,
then the cause for this state of affairs
should be inquired into and the response
bility fixed where it belongs.

When the air is becoming charged with

then a large cloud will be seen breaking

A Mirror of Your Mind.
Wilbur W. White, in the Chautauquan.


Starting with the word Washington,
write down one hundred words just as they
occur to you. Let your second word be the
one which Washington naturally sug-
gests to you. Possibly it will be cap
itol. 1t may be president. Take the word
which first comes into your mind. In the
same manner let the third word be sug-
gested by the second, the fourth by 6he
third and so ON. Be careful that the third
word is not suggested by both the first and
second. Drop the first entirely and let
your mind 90 from the second alone to the
third. Having written this list of words, you
have furnished yourself with a cheap
but very useful mirror of your mind. If
YOU are able to use this mirror you may dis
cover some very serious defects in your
mental process. You may discover that you
think along certain lines too frequently.
You may discover that you are using super
fetal principles quite too much to the neg
lect of more important laws of mind. You
will thus be led to avoid certain linkings,
and to encourage others of a more philo-
sophical nature.
