A TRUE STORY.

Papa, will you please give me fifty cents
for my spring hat? Most all the Academy
girls have theirs"
mo- May; 1 can't spare the money"
The above request was persuaslyely made
by a sixteen-year-old maiden as she was
preparing for school one fine spring morn
ing. The refusal came from the parent In
curt, Indifferent tone. The disappointed girl
went to school, The father started for his
place of business. On his way thither he
met friend, and, being hail fellow well met,
he invited him into Macs for drink. As
usual, there were others there, and the man
that could not spare his daughter fifty cent?
for hat treated the crowd.
, When about to leave he laid half dollar
on the counter, which just paid for the
drinks
Just then the saloon keepers daughter
entered, and, going behind the bar, said:
"Papa, I want fifty cents for my spring
hat"
, "Au right" said the dealer. And taking
up the half-dollar from the counter. hs
handed it over to the girl, who departed
smiling.
: Nays father seemed dazed, walked out
alone, and said to himself: II had to bring
nv fifty cents here for the rumseller's
daughter to buy a hat with, after refusing 10
to my own daughter. I'll never drink an:
other drop"
, And he kept his pledge.-Our Young
People.

MORE ELECTRIC LINES.
The Washington Avenue Cars to
Start This Morning.


The Washington avenue electric line
has been completed from Hennepin
avenue to Twelfth avenue north, and
an effort will be made to OPP
crate the line that far this morn
ing. The connections with the
Brush compauy's dynamo were CON-
pleted Friday, and, as far as known, all
the motive power is in perfect shape
for its successful operation. The COM
pany had expected to have all that pOr-
zion of the line in operation. but there
have been delays in the removal OF the
material which has given the work
a setback. There is also short
age in the steel necessary to
go on with the work on First avenue,
which will necessarily delay the work a
little. but this will be overcome in
few days. The power house engines
have been arriving in sections right
along, and they will be in place by the
time the tracks and trolley wires are in
place. The work on all the lines now
under way will be pushed rapidly to
completion, but the lake route will still
continue to be run by horses, as it will
be impossible to have it completed be-
fore winter. The work will be COM
menced early in the spring.. The ar
rangement of the poles in the center of
the street gives much neater appear

There Will Be Some Tall Hustling
on the Floor OF the Meeting.

The outcome of the fight between the
ne-Cole-Boadrman and the Eustis-
Scott factions in the Thirty-first legis-
lative district, is awaited with good
deal of interest. A. M. Scott and Will
lam Henry Eustis deny that they have
been denuded of every shred of
political power with which they
we're clothed. They are emphatic
left poised In mid-air without even a
suspicion of support by the result of the
primaries Friday night. A. NJ. Scott.
especially, is loud in asserting that he
will show Freeman P. Lane in to-day's
convention that he is still very much
alive and doing quite well. He charac-
terizes the boasts of the Boardman-

vaporings of uncopscionable braggarts.

Underwood'S campaign carries disquiet

1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
DIR. Burrell Thinks That Liquor Is
Harder Than 1900 Years

Ago.
Rev. D. j. Burrell preached his last
sermon prior to taking an absence of
six weeks, during which he will visit
the East, last evening at Westminster
Presbyterian church. He took his text
from John 2, l, ii, "Water in wine." He
introduced his sermon by brief state
ment as to the character of the wine
made at this marriage feast. concluding
that if Christ was present now he would
without doubt suggest the duty of total
abstinence from all intoxicating liquors.

to perceive how custom unobjectiona-

NEW YORK CENTRAL STRIKE.
1t Calls for Several Speeches at
Labor Temple.

There was good attendance at La
Dor Temple yesterday afternoon, COM
posed of delegates from all the labor
unions and Knights of Labor assem-
blies in the city. The gathering was for
the purpose of listening to several adj
dresses from people interested IN labor
matters upon labor problems in general,
and especially upon the New York Cen
trail strike, which, in fact, was the i'm
mediate cause of the meeting. Contrary
to expectations, none of the speakers
roasted Chief Arthur, but seemed to
Aside from the speeches nothing was
done, and they in the main touched
mostly upon the origin and significance
of labor organizations in general. Rev.
George Muller, of New York, spoke upon
what he intended to be the causes
which led to the New York Central
strike, but his discourse took broader
field, and might apply to all such dis
rnptiOns. He said that all organizations
of employees were Objectionable to the
employers, as they assumed that all
managers of capital had the right to
control labor; that labor, which was
in fact the creator of all capital, should
be controlled by the creature. He con-
tended that it was a false assumption
that the human interests of the thou
sands of employees were less than the
money interests of the stockholders. and
when contention came up it should be
a matter for mutual adjudication. If
the employers had right to
representation. through Mr.. Webb, the
employees certainly had right to equal
representation through any agent they
might see fit to appoint. Corporations
were seeking by any means in their
power to destroy the organization of
labor, and it seemed as if they were de-
termined to maintain their supremacy
in the government by the use of any
means necessary to destroy the power of
organized industrialits. He continued
that MI. Depew's recent utteranceS, as
cabled across the water, indicated that
the ''old lobbyist" had lost none of his
cunning and shrewdness. He took oc-
casion to speak well of MI POwderly
and to state that Mr.. Barry, his asSail-
ant, was traitor knight who had as
saulted the character of the great leader
without cause. Those who know Barry'S
record, said he, give no weight what
ever to his statements"
Rev. E. l.. CresSy, of Merriam Park,
followed with a short talk upon the
matter. j. P. McGaughey ended the
meeting with fiery address. The au-
dience seemed well pleased with the
speakers, and often interrupted them
with bursts of hearty applause as they
made point that pleased the audience.
