plished results that are creditable to
himself and the town, and which are
seen in his handsome and cOmmOdiOus
brick block which he had erected about
a year ago, and progressive and well
conducted business. In the harness
manufacturing here as III other in
dustrial branches, improvements are
constantly being made, and in this re-
spect it has been the aim Of Mr.. Wal

tablished upwards of l3 years. About
month ago Mr.. Waring, who has been
a merchant of the town for about 10
wears purchased the interest Of Mr.
John Holder and the present partner
shin was formed. That the mercan tile
interests of the town viii continue to
advance and a larger local trade be de-
veloped is induced by the existence Of
Il business institution of the recognized

well-known fact that upon the efforts
put forth by the merchants to meet the
wants of and offer advantages to the
public, does the volume of mercantile

partment of the large stockis thorough
ly equipped and the goods carefully

fancy and staple dry goods, groceries,
crockery, wall papers, boots. shoes,

is owing largely to the efforts of Mr..
Boice, who is a wide-awake, competent
and experienced young merchant. The
trade is rapidly increasing and will
doubtless grow to larger proportions.

Brockway Centres popular and well
conducted jewelry, books. stationery
and fancy goods emporium, carried on
by Mr.. G. II. Niggeman, will come in
for prominent mention in this review.
Among the businesses of the town
which have gained prominence for the
high standard to which they have been
raised, this one deserves special men
ton. Mr.. Niggeman has been success
fully carrying on business here for
about 4 years. The results of his efforts
are seen in a store which in point of ex.
cellence and variety of stock and ger+
eral equipments, reflects credit upon
his energy. There is no branch of olT
mercantile industry in a more advan-.
ced condition than the lines represent
eel here, and there is no business Of
this section of the country that can
offer greater advantages to the public
than this one. The interior of the
store presents most handsome APP
pearance. 1t is elegantly equipped and
finely furnished with handsome wall
and counter cases. &C., which display a
stock as fine as the markets afford, en-
bracing in the jewelry department

One Of the most beautiful pieces Of artistic
workmanship, and one which most appropri-
ately fills the niche for which it is intended, is
the statue to be soon unveiled at Washing
ton, erected to Thomas II. Gallaudet, LII. d.
founder of deaf mute education in America.
In the early part of this century Gallaudet
took an interest in little girl who was a
deaf mute and taught her an alphabet of
signs. In the statue he is represented teach
ing this child-Alice Cogswell-who is stand
ing by his side.
A convention of deaf mutes and those in
terested in their education will be held at
Washington at the time of the unwilling Of
the statue The last convention was held in
New York four years ago At that conven-
ton it was voted to raise fund for the
statue. Over $4,000 was contributed, and
two years ago contract for its design and
construction was made with Daniel c. French,
of Concord. The date of unwilling is fixed
for June rs.
DR.. Gallaudet was graduated from the An
dover Theological seminary in 1874 and be
coming interested in teaching Alice Cogswel
at Hartford, his work attracted the atten-
ton of a number of citizens Of that place.
Gallaudet was sent abroad to study the
art of teaching deaf mutes. In 1916 he

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1889-06-01

There lives in this country an old negro
preacher who is very illiterate, doesn't know
single letter of the alphabet, and yet,
strange to relate, he can turn to and read
any passage of Scripture in the book of St.
John; and the strangest part of it all is that
this is the only book in the Bible in which he
can read We don't know how to account
for this unless it is that he has memorized the
entire book, and the constant use of one
Testament for possibly two score years has
so imprinted it on his mind that he readily
recognizes the contents of each page He
cannot read in any other Bible except his
own. -Warrenton (Ga.l Clipper,
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1889-06-01

Each had its separate charter, its separate
officers and its own method of doing business,
each peculiar to itself, and although all were
working under the same roofs and for the
same firms, for years complete isolation OF
one from all the other departments so far as
trade matters were concerned, was the con-
dition.
Impressed with the necessity for the unfit
cation of all in one grand union, without re-
gard to branches in the business, the MEM
bers of the Columbus CO., lodge of the Iron
and Steel Roll Hands began the agitation of
the subject of the amalgamation of all the
workers in the iron and steel rolling mills,
and in the fall of 1878 the three local unions
in the Columbus rolling mills formed tenn
porary amalgamated association.
During the two years that followed this ac-
ton by the men at Columbus several confer
ences were held by representatives from the
various unions in most of the important
cities, and constant effort was made by the
thinking men TO secure for the craft gener-
ally what Columbus had effected.
While this agitation for better organization
was going on among the men the employers
were taking steps to break the influence OF
the unions, and in April, 1874, the first Iron
cladn in that trade was introduced. The
''ironclad" was and is a pledge in writing,
that the retained employee or the applicant
for work has severed his connection with the
union and will not again become member
under penalty of discharge. The manufact-
urers succeeded, in some places, in breaking
up the unions; but this only made the active
men more determined to strengthen and pro-
tect their organization, and the movement
for amalpamatiOn was fastened.
On Aug l, 1876, the three national unions
of the iron trade met in Pittsburg, in differ
emit halls, with the understanding that they
should wind up their affairs, adjourn sine die,
and then all the delegates assemble in one
convention and there form one organization
of the craft for the United States. This pro-
gramme was carried out and on Aug. 4, in
what was then known as Emerald hall, on
Sixth avenue, Pittsburg, Pa, the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron and Steel workers
was formed.
The officers elected were: Joseph Bishop,
president and secretary; Edward McGin-
ness, treasurer, and one vice president for
