MIKE WAS TOO Gu re.

An electric cigar lighter is new
thing in St. Paul. An East Seventh
street cigar dealer put in one last week.
and he has been having a good deal OF
fun out of it. The electric lighter is
nothing but metal image of woman.
which is charged with electricity. 1t
resembles the old-style lamp-lIghter IN
no way except that it has an alcohol
socket on each side. The igniter Is con-
nected by wire with an electric battery,
SO that when it is pulled out Oh It's
socket and touched 10 the metal image
the current which results brings out an
electric spark which ignites the al
cchol.
Mike Egan first saw the electric
lighter Yesterday. He entered the store,
b0ught a good cigar-such as he smokes
at all times-and began to look around
for a light. The metal image on the
counter met Mixes gaze. He Thought
the alcohol sockets on each side OF the
image gave the apparatus slight re-
Semblance 10 a cigar Lighter. But there
was 40 lamp on top OF the image, and,
therefore. Mike knew it wasn't a cigar
lighter. Mike smiled and remarked to
the clerk:
well, well, that is pretty good
fake. amt it. l suppose you have lots
of fun with the jays who come i'll here
and mistake that thing for cigar
lighter. You came very near catching
me on the fake. | noticed the alcohol
pockets on the side of it and was just
about to bite when | saw the thing
didn't have a lamp and was only
blind"
"0h. we don't need lamp on this
kind of a lighter" said the obliging
clerk as he picked the igniter from the
socket, lighted if b. touching the image
and handed it to Mike to light his cigar
from.
.,Bif. bif! bif!'' said Mike, as he un-
tremendously quit the store.

Radical Proposals Made by
the Brotherhood Of Brake
men.
Salaries of Grand Officers to
Be Cut Down by One
Half.
The Name of the Order to Be
Made More Comprehen-
Sive.
Railroad Relief Societies Are
a DeluSion and a
Snare.

The Brotherhood of Brakemen re-
sumed its session at the capitol yester-
day morning at $50. considerable time
being occupied in reading the minutes
of the previous days proceedings. The
remainder of the morning session was
occupied in reading communications
from the various lodges of the order,
besides large number of resolutions,
and the reading of official reports in
detail.
An important feature of the report
handed in by Vice Grand Master Stat
terry, of Butte, is his recommendation
that the name of the order be changed
from The Brotherhood of Railway
Brakemen to The Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen. Such change is re-
garded as necessary, from the fact that
the majority of members are not brake
men but conductors, baggagmen and
employees of various other railroad de-
partments. The present title IS re-
garded as inSuf1iciently distinctive, and
from its popularity among the dele
gates, there seems every probability
that the recommendation will be adopt
ed. Nlr. Slattery also advocates state
Unions to be held annually under the
lSlOu vi Iuc HldStCl.
report concludes with roast of the re-
lief schemes OF the various roads, and a
warning to Brotherhood men to beware
of them, as they are
A DELUSI0N
and a snare. A recommendation in re-
gard to the matter says:
Regarding the relief schemes which are
just now being pushed forward by several of
The leading railways of the country, namely,
the Philadelphia & Reading, Chicago, Bur
hngton d Quincy, Baltimore d OHIO ana the
Pennsylvania d Chicago, would say to all
members of our brotherhood that IL Is to
their interest to thoroughly investigate all
schemes OF the kind mentioned, and that
done am very sure that they will arrive at
the same conclusion that | have, and let
them alone. for they are an only too palpa-
bic snare to draw the employe on and make
him the slave OF the employer"

Mr. Keppl~r Organising Associations Of
Great benefit tO Their Members.
At the request of Of a very large number
patrons, j. &. Keppler has decided to or
ganize home watch and diamond clubs, i'm
order that the people of this city and vi
cinity may have an opportunity to procure
goods upon that satisfactory plan. Solicit
ing agents of outside clubs have been in
this place lately land when il is considered
that their commission il necessarily add
ed to the cost of the goods purchased, IL
will he seen that the home club offers a
decided over outside ones, as
the agents commission is done away with,
and Mr.. Keppler can thus dispose of goods
mt prices below what the same article can
be purchased elsewhere. Another COM
mendable feature of the home club is that
all kinds of goods can he purchased by it's
members, whereas outside clubs confine
their sales solely to watches and
diamonds. The terms are the usual ones
of 81 weekly payments. Mr.. keppler Is
now i'm readiness to take numbers for a
500 club. "a $50 club and n $40 club. For

Baton Rouge Capital Item: There
is considerable value in the following
suggestion of the Louisiana Review,
and we hope it will he the means OF
inducing some one to try the expert
ment Of the Louisiana fig. There Is
no doubt the fig can be made valua,
BILE article Of commerce, either dried
or made into preserves. The Review
s4e--s: Aprospos Of the paragraH T
rt.Srring.to the sale Of 5SiIiaNe+tba 'ts-. :.
fcs on our streets and their ready sale.
represented that if our people would
onlv exert the necessary energy, the
culture of the fg could be made one
of the most remunerative industries
Of the State. The fig of Louisiana, II
care be given to its culture, IS unsur-
passed-not as large, perhaps, as some
varieties, but conraiing favorahiy with
anv for sweetness and lueiousness. As
a preserve or in a dried state it could
find immediate sale in hundreds il not
thousands OF markets. 1t is only
necessary to do as the Californians do
g-prepare it for sale and send 1t
throughout the country-and comior-
table incomes would result to those
wise enough to avail themselves OF
the opportunity offered by its prolific
yielain the lower sections of the State.
