gates at Albany.
Troy, N. Y, Feb. 5.-The Knights of
Labor conference considered proposed
changes in the ritual of the order and
decided upon some to be recommended
Tor action by the next General Assem-
bly,.
An Executive Committee of IS was al
SO appointed upon the state of the
order. Part of the committees work
wall be to secure a corps of lecturers,
who shall visit each district in the
State and deliver lectures upon i'm
portant subjects of labor interest.
Resolutions were adopted in favor
OF acting with the Farmers Alliance
In securing reduction of the rate of
interest in the State of per cent. and
an equalization of taxes endorsing
the State woiNingmen's assembly in re-
commencing an amendment to the fac
tory inspection laws, and endorsing the
action OF the general assembly at At
lanta, Ga, with regard to goods made
by the Fuller & Warren Company.
The following measures were also en-
dorscd: The SaXton Electoral Reform
bill, the Collins Lien law, tue Weekly
Wages bill, the bill abolishing State
contracts, the Linson Anti-Pinkerton
bill. and the bill prohibiting the sale
of prison-made goods.
While the present gathering has
been in the nature of a conference the
real object has been to establish State
assembly Of the order. The sentiment
in many districts is in favor of this,
but in others it is not, New York city
with its very large membership and
many delegates it is feared would con-
troll the the other places in the State.
the prospect is that the assembly will
finally be organized. Albany is a can
didate for the next General Assem- bly.

ii, Mayors Message Reviewed.
Gov Bulke|ey and the Interest OF
Waterbury Considered.

WE have been carefully perusing the
w Mayors Message and note witt:
pleasure the progressive spirit of the doc
ument. He very properly alludes to the
institutions of our city which have made ii
famous, and with the keenness of the eX
perienced man of business he tells the
people that it is concerns like the WATER
BURY FURNITURE co of Grand street
that has made the name of Waterbury
well-known the world over. Nothing con
tributes to the welfare of a city much
as reliable concern that is always alive
to the wants of the public, and makes it
possible for them to obtain their goods at
prices low as they can be produced
anywhere in the wide world. The
WATERBURY FURNITURE Co of Grand
street prides itself on this record, and if
his honor the Mayor did not mention
furniture in his message he must be ex-
cused on the ground that he has the mis-
fortune of being a bachelor and not able to
appreciate Il THIRTY PER CENT RE
DUCT1ON which we have saved to the
people of New Haven county in the last
six years. His honor may refer to Furni-
ture in special message later on, when he
sees his oversight.
GOV BULKELEY and staff will visit
our city February g, to attend the MIL
1TARY BALL, and as our fine new block
will be completed about the LIST of March,
we would respectfully ask the committee
in charge to postpone the ball until we
give our grand opening, and the Governor
could attend both great events. We sug
gest this, rs we are anxious to give his eX
cellency good impression of our city.
We have reduced our prices in every de-
partment, we are determined to clear
out our storehouses before our new build
ing is finished. Now is the time to make
your purchases.

Mr.. RANDALL REMEMBERED.

His Personal Friends Raise a Fund OF
$4,000 without Consulting Him.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Sit is under
stood here that the project which was
conceived by Mr.. Drexel and Mr. Childs
for the raising Of fund of 800, 600
among the friends of Congressman Ran
dali, which was to be invested and the
interest to be applied for the support of
his family has been success.
There has been great deal Of reti-
cence in connection with this move
mont. as it was feared that Mr. Ran
dali, who is peculiar about money mat
ters and would never accept gift of
any sort for himself-not even contri-
buttons for his election expenses
might discourage the idea.
In case that Mr.. RandalPs health
should utterly fail him his friends are
now assured that pecuniary troubles will
not be now among the number which
may hereafter concern him.

The lace walking shoe, or balmoral
for gentlemen's use, is the principal
style of foot covering now worn. The
button and congress styles are losing
their old-time popularity. A tasteful
design is patent-leather with seamless
vamps cut in such manner as to ex-
tend up the back seam to the top Of the
shoe Gig. s.. This design has the
merit of doing away with the seam at
the back where top and vamp usually
join, and which is SO apt to break away.
1t also permits of any am cunt of pink
ing, perforating and fancy stitching
with colored silk. The heels are
of medium height, but rather
slim, the sole light and flexible,
and has the rand ornamented with
yellow stitches. This shoe is also
made in calf, kangaroo and dongola
When made in button greater oppor-
tunity is afforded for fancy orname nta-
ton. which is made the most Of Fig,
81 by some unique designs at the button
pieces. which are metered out in tastv
scroll work around the button ho les and
stitched to an underlying piece of
leather of different material, color or
shade.
All the attractive ornamentation con-
ceivable is being put into the once
popular button boot, tor it has found a
conceited rival in the lace boot.
