LOCALS LACKING IN SYMPATHY.
Knights of Labor Do Not All Agree AZ to
HonOring Armstrong.

knights of Labor Do Not All Agree az to
HoDOring Armstrong.
In labor circles yesterday there was no
little comment made on the lack of SYM
pathy with the Armstrong celebration,
which was apparent in certain locals of the
Knights of Labor. 1t was said that over
1000 knights would be absent from the par
ade, and while about 800 of them, compris-
ing the street car men, mixers and teasers
and statesmen could not, by nature of their
employment, turn out, there was no reason
why the remainder should not make show
ing. The warehousemen, who number about
200, have no legitimate excuse for absenting
themselves, and the teamsters, comprising
about similar number, have elected to act
the role Of spectators instead of swelling the
ranks of the procession. The tube workers
also, could as easily turn out as other mill
hands.
The knights of Labor ranks, including
these defections from its strength, will be
further reduced by those of its members who
will march in the Veteran Legion, the
Amalgamated molders, and others. Com
ment is made on the fact of these locals re-
fusing to parade when such strong delega-
tions are coming on from Kittanning, But
Ter and other points.

MIR. W. ]. Lewis Two Little GrandsOns Were
Lost in the City.
Two children of DR.. Robertson, of Hazel
wood, were lost down town yesterday through
the customary greed for knowledge dis
played by youngsters. The two boys were
driven down with an elder brother to get a
ride about 2:3O P. M. yesterday. The col
ored driver stopped at Gusky'S store to get a
parcel, and while he was in the two little
ones attempted an exploration OF the neigh
borhood, which they evidently succeeded IN
accomplishing. When the driver returned
to the carriage he missed the two children,
and notified the police of the missing boys
absence.
The grandfather OF the missing boys.
W. j. Lewis, proprietor of the Lewis
Block, on the corner of Smithfield street
and Sixth avenue, called at the Central sta
tion, and offered large reward for the re-
turn of the children. About P. NJ. they
were recovered, and as one was only about
years of age, and the other 4, it was not
difficult to effect the recovery.
The parents were alarmed about the dis
appearance of the children, and the grand
parent, Mr.. Lewis, Of Hazelwood, was the
most active in getting the boys back to their
home, as at first it was thought the chill
dren had been kidnapped. The driver of
DR.. Robertson's wagon drove back with
profuse apologies, but the capture of the
boys, who had simply gone out to take a
walk, was done in the simplest manner
possible, and the police are now in expecta-
tion of the ample rewards offered during the
afternoon,

ingmen thought of Thanksgiving Day. Mr..
Tom Carrier, Superintendent OF the open
hearth department, said:
1.-The most conspicuous thing that 1 have
to be thankful for is that every applicant
for employment in my department for the
past two months has obtained work. Be-
cause this has been the case it makes me ex-
tremely grateful, and 1 mean to appropri-
ately celebrate it on the day appointed.
Another thing for which will render
thanks, is that in the slaughter of convivial
resorts SO were left where man can repair
his lost energies after hard days work by
deep draught of good Rhine wine.
Mr.. David Murphy. steel melter, said
that he offered up thanks because he had
had ten months straight work in the past
year. He said that he voiced the senti-
ments of the whole works by the word
happy One other circumstance made him
glad, and that was the company paid him
ample salary.

the Smith Granite Company, of Westerly,
R. l., has been here for three months, and
with his assistant, Stanly W. Edwards, has
prepared the model approved yesterday. It
is an exact representation of what the statue
will be. The lower base of the pedestal will
be solid slab of granite of the
same material as the figure, and
will measure 12x8 feet. On the front
face of the pedestal will be the emblems in
bas relief, representing the American army
and navy, showing on one end of the statue
