Several hundred Russian refugees arrive d
here about seven years ago. They left Rus
sia on account of religious intolerance, and
were assisted in their passage to America by
fund subscribed by the Hebrews under the
auspices of the Russian immigration Aid So
ciety. About four thousand came to the
United States and on their arrival the asso-
citation provided them with food and clothing
and sent them to the various agricultural
states of the Union.
Over two hundred Of these people came to
Omaha in an abject condition. Relief was
afforded them by the Hebrew Benevolent So
ciety which spent large sums in relieving the
distress of these people. Meyer Hellman,
julius Meyer aud G. Shaw were the most
active in providing for them.
Many of these immigrants have risen from
poverty to wealth and are among Omaha's
most enterprising citizens.
In order to have house of worship,
several of these people Organized a Russian

avenue near Thirteenth street, ut u cost of

BARRIERS Union No. 8.

To Omaha belongs the distinction of hay
ing organized one of the very first BARRIERS
unions organized in the United States.
The national union effected all organization
in December, 1887, but prior to this the bar
bers Of Omaha had met and organized q
union. The members were few and the asso-
citation was not strong, but 1t improved
with age and grew in strength. The
local unions were admitted into the national
before Omaha viz: Muskegon, Mich, and
New York city. Omaha's union is No. 3,
and there are but fifteen in the United States.
To-day the union has about forty members,
which is minority of the BARRIERS in the
city. 1t feels this and feels its incapacity TO
overcome its weakness. The trade is an itin
Grant one In many particulars, and the men,
bers are slow in joining, but the prime nov
ers are by no means in despair and look for
ward to the time when the union Will be a
power. They have prepared circular
which is to be sent to oil the trades unions
asking for assistance in organization. The
cigarmakers have already rendered material
assistance.
The officers of the union for the ensuing
year, are as follows: w. NJ Smith, presi-
dent; George Schurz, vice president; Harry
Vestphal, financial secretary; George Gallo
way, corresponding secretary; A. Saulis-
bury, treasurer. 1he union meets every sec
ond and fourth Thursday of each month, at
Gate City hall.
just now an effort to close the shops on
Sunday is agitating tue BARRIERS. Many weeks
ago they asked the mayor and city council to
PASS an ordinance closing the shops on the
seventh day, but certain Influences, SO they
claim, were brought to bear upon the mayor
and certain aldermen and their petition was
allowed TO go by default. Having been de-
MED assistance by the city government. they
will take matters into their own hands and
proceed TO close the shops on Sunday under
the state law.
Al present the Council Bluffs union is a
part of No 3, having been organized under
the same charter, and IN their fight with the
bosses the Council Bluffs BARRIERS win receive
the assistance Of the Union men on this side
Of the river.

Brickloyers ON a stril,e.

The bricklayers working on the Dellone
hotel at Fourteenth and Capitol avenue went
on a strike yesterday because Contractor
Fred Dellone would not allow them pay for
an extra hour on Saturday. The men de-
manded the extra hour a week ago, when it
became union law, and Dellone agreed to
allow it if other contractors would. The
strikers claim that the majority of other con-
tractors are allowing the extra hour, and
that Dellone was apprised of that fact and
yet he would not grant their wishes. When
he refused to allow the extra hour yesterday
afternoon the eight men quit work without
further ceremony.

refuse sticks and windfall branches OF
our dooryard trees. Fit for kindling
perhaps, but never for generous fire

over them, the recoverable past. with
all its pleasures to the fore, comes
back with painful vividness. The fan
tastic shapes of the rudy Goals, the
caverns in the loose ashes, the shadows
of the andirons, the filmy thread of

upon which my eyes can never dwell

And Narrowly Escaped Becoming the

George Washington was once a re-
jected lover. The fact is testified to
by his own hand in q letter given to
the world a few years ago by General
Fitzhugh Lee. General Lee, writing
to the editor Of a Virginia paper about
the matter, said:

FOREVER AND EVER.

Forever and ever my spirit is yearning
For that which IL can not attain;
And my heart is sick with its sorrowful learning
OF lessons Of grief and Of pain
Forever and ever listen to voices
Whose echoes alone can hear,
And my daily task Is the lifting OF crosses
Too heavy for mortals to bear.
Forever and ever my sad soul is longing
To look upon faces once more
That have gone out Of sight since LIES rosy
morning,
Past the angel who guards Heavens door.
Forever and ever stand by the river
That parteth the living and dead,
And silently wait with my lips a-quiver,
While my eyes fill with tears unshed.
Forever and everl oh, Is there no ending
To all Of this sorrow and pains
All yesl when kind friends DER me bending
Shall whisper: Our loss is her gainl"
