Last Thursday night one of the most
recherche and enjoyable entertainments
ever given in Cleburne came off at the
residence of Miss Julia Mitchell. The
affair was given by the hostess. compli-

The night was dark and gloomy, ard

With music, instrumental and vocal,
and facinating euchre time glided on
swiftly, and at IL o'clock the door OF the
spacious dining room was thrown open
and the guests were invited to refresh
with the freshest and most beautiful
flowers artistically arranged in bouquets

UP TO THE TIMES.
The Carpenters Convention Re-
models Its Constitution.

The Carpenters Convention he.
models Its Constitution.
e CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The delegates to
the carpenters and joiners' convention
were on hand bright and early to-day.
The morning session was occupied by
listening to reports. The biennial re-
port of the president was read, and the
following committee appointed to report
to the convention on the suggestions
made bv the president: James Cannon,
Memphis; r. L. Hassell, Chicago; I. E.
Deegan, New York; j. D. Garner, Day
ton; N. n. BlakemOre, st. Louis. In
General Secretary MeGuire's report,
besides a variety of other topics
treated, the entire revision of
the constitution ! and bylaws was
recommended. Messrs. Palmer. Kliver,
Lapp, Philip and Morrison were APP
pointed committee to report on the
secretary's address as whole. The re-
port of the committee on rules was
adopted. limiting speeches during the
convention to five minutes. In the aft
ernoon the convention resolved itself
into a committee of the whole, and the
revision of the constitution and bylaws
was taken up. Every delegate had
some suggestion to make, and not much
progress was made during the session.
The old constitution was practically
wiped out, and to use the words of Sec
Rotary Mcclure, ''the constitution as
far as adopted is up to the times" The
eight-hour question was given most
prominent place in the document, and
the strict enforcement of the
7eight-hour rule is urged IN strong Ian
guage. But six articles were adopted,
but it will take tomorrow and probably
q good portion OF next day before the
constitution is completed. The mini
mum initiation fee will be placed at SIS.
In speaking of the proposed alleged
<juncture with the Amalgamated Broth
srhood of Carpenters and Joiners. Sec
Sretary Mcclure said he did not believe
any steps would be taken with view
of consolidation. 1.-THE Amalgamated
Brotherhood, he said, ''has headquart-
ers in England, while our organization
is strictly and thoroughly American"
The new constitution, it is understood,
will present ideas deemed extremely
radical a few years ago. and the slow
progress being made is due to the OPP
position manifested by more conserva-
five members of the brotherhood.

A SILVER MINE.
Its Ownership Leads to Litigation
and Serious Charges,


The case of Salina E. Newton against
George w. Van Dusen, c. H. Chad
bourne, of Minneapolis, and other mem
bers of the Silver Belle Mining COM
pany, of Pitkin county, Colorado, has
been brought from the Olmsted county
court to Minneapolis, and the papers in
the case were filed yesterday.
The plaintiff claims that the defend
ants Van Dusen and Chadbourne have
deprived her of her rights and interests
in the mining corporation. She claims
that when the company was organized
she and her husband owned 1000
shares of stock in the enter
prise. These they turned over
to Van DuSen & Chadburn upon con-
dition that the latter would use the
same in the operation of the mine. and
to use the money until the mine was put
on paying basis. after which time
they were to be repaid in the same
amount invested. Mrs. Newton now
claims that the Silver Belle Mining
company have realized 100000 from
the mine, and that the defendants have
studiously concealed all their transac-
lions from her. The answer denies
these charges and claims that the plain
tiff forfeited her right of redemption I'D
June, 1856, and they also set up that the
mine has not been paying enterprise,
but has been to them source OF great
loss,

six months old. lost her only brother,
eight years of age. She mourned for
him and would not be comforted, but

God and heaven. When about two
years and six months old she said one
day:

as she had many times before.
"Well," said Mary, II want to 60
there, too. and play with Harry"
ooh, no; mamma cannot spare you,
too. She hopes you will not 20 until
"But 1 want to 60 now" she per-
sisted, ''for when ! get old I can't play
with Harry"
s'Why not?" her mother asked.
"Because God would laugh"
"No He would not"
"Why, Mamma Parker! Yes he
would; He would smoker right out to

1t Is Governed by Strict Regula-
tiOns in Great Britain.
Athen@um
The Royal College of Music for the
British army is bound by the queens
regulations for the army to use the
Philharmonic orchestral pitch. Col.
Shaw-Hellier, the colonel cOmmandant
of that institution, has recently obtained
the aid of A. j. Aipkins, of Messrs.
Broadwood & Sons, to adjust the Kenel-
Ter hall standard tuning fork to the
pitch adopted by the London Philhar-
monte society when Sir Michael Costa
was the conductor of its orchestra
(1S46- 54) and still maintained.
The correction is to B fiat, 1902 double
vibrations at 80 deg Fahrenheit, and is
equivalent at thct temperature to A
1924 and G 53S. Following the cOef6-
cient for rise of temperature as deter
mined for the smaller wind instruments
by d. }. Blaikley, viz. .25 per degree,
the e will be $40 double vibrations for
IS deg, pitch which may be accented
as the mean for concert Orchestras. The
larger wind instruments rise more rap
idly. The desirability of a uniform
pitch for military bands being observed
when they are to be massed, as will be
the case in the forthcoming military ex-
hibition at Chelsea, is evident.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 81. Milton Turner,

of our agents at Pittsburg, namely:
Thomas ]. Seton, M. A. Phillips, Dunn,
Harrison and others whose names have
been banded about in newspaper arti-
cles of late, our. companies are in no
way responsible. Although our agents
were compelled to appear in a Pittsburg
police court to answer to charges of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
their actions are not ours. They simply
went beyond our established rules. AS
for Seton, the nominal head of our
agency at Pittsburg, sending me large
sums of money on a $3.50 basis for col
lections on 500, it is untrue. We pay
our agents rs per cent on memberships,
but no per centage on after payments.

THE ANSWER FILED.
The Washburn Mill Litigation
Now Properly Bef ore the Court.

The WaShburn Mill Litigation
Now Properly Bef ore the Court.
Yesterday was the day set for the
serving of the answer in the Washburn
Crosby mill case, and voluminous
article 1t is, to be sure. 1t starts off
with technical description of the G. G.
Washburn Mill company, it then states
the bylaws of the corporation, and says
that special meetings may be called at
any time upon the direction of the
president or vice president, or by any
three members of the board of direct
ors. Regarding the corporate seal
the bylaws state that 1t is
not necessary to be affixed
to contracts necessary TO De maze III the
current business. The answer admits
John Washburn'S interest in the Wash
burn-CrOsby company to the extent OF
$4,000. The meeting of July &c, which
Mr.. Holmes says he did not receive
notice of, is referred to. and the notice
given Mr.. Holmes is reproduced in full.
It was served by Frederick G. Atkinson,
one of the employees of the Washburn-
Crosby company. At the meeting there
were present, so the answer runs, Dl-
rectors j. D. EStabrook, Charles Pay
son, A. M. Bailey and John Washburn,
and that the last named held proxy
for Director A. w. Kelsey.
The important point Is then made that
John Washbnrn also holds a general
proxy or power of attorney in writing
from Director John B. GeSt, authOrlz-
ing him to vote for Gest at meetings OF
the corporation. In other words, the
answer claims that there were five
dire ctors who gave their consent to
the execution of the lease in favor
of the Washburn- Crosby company,
instead of four as claimed by
Mr.. Holmes. The lease to G. A. Pills
bury and the English syndicate is de-
MED, and the statement is made that at
the meeting of the whole board June 80,
the only action taken in regard to this
matter was to refer the whole subject to
attorneys who were to investigate legal
obstacles that had arisen.
The resolutions so referring to the
matter are wholly reproduced and the
substance of which is that the board
shall secure lessees such as will keep
the property in good repair and that the
quality, character and price OF produc-
tiOns be maintained.
Time was given to the plaintiffs In
which to look over this answer. and the
case will come up for argument Friday
morning.

Census Inspector Kruse has been
joined by Special Agent P. T. Wood in
the work of taking recount of the Min
neapolis census, and yesterday was
spent in looking over the applications
of those who wish to act as enumerators.
The officials from Washington are be-
ing advised and aided by the citizens
committee, and an Endorsement is re-
quired from it before an enumerator is
engaged. This is done because 1t
is desired, above all things, that
an honorable and intelligent set of
men shall be secured If possible--quite
number of prominent citizens are
volunteering for the work of enumera-
ton, among whom are John Day Smith.
H. 3. Barton, W. S.. Preston, Thomas
Jeffrey and l. w. Fielder. Among the
applicants for work yesterday was
gentleman who gave the name Of Frank,
who turns out to be Chicago detective.
1t is not known who engaged him. but
it is not likely that he will enumerate
any citizens of Minneapolis this trip.
Mr.. Wood said in reference to the mat
ter: "There is no objection to detectives
acting as enumerators, only the chances
are that they are here to make trouble,
and are likely to do something that Will
reflect discredit upon the census, and
we don't want them"

POTTER'S PET PEAN.
What the Junket Committee Will
Recommend.

Recommend.
The aldermen who went East on the
recent Junket have returned very much
impressed with the feasibility of having
the city lighted by the city directly, in
stead of by the present contract system.
While in the East the committee paid
a good deal of attention to electric
lighting, and report that in all the cities
where it has been substituted for
gas the authorities and the pub
lie are well pleased with tine
change. The committee will meet to-
morrow morning at o'clock to prepare
a report embodying the results of the
trip, and among the recommendations
will be one that the city engineer be
authorized to communicate with the
Westinghouse company relative to the
cost of putting I'M combination arc and
incandeScent lamp system. Should the
city decide to do it's own lighting the
arc lamps would probably be set one
block apart in the heart OF
the city, and the outside streets
would be lighted by incandescent
lamps. One horse power will operate
one arc lamp, and the same power is re-
ouired for ten incandeScent lamps. so
the expense can be easily figured. The
committee is unanimously of the opinion
that such system would be cheaper
than the present system or than gas.
E. u. Potter, whose pet scheme it is,
says this about 1t:
"We could generate for year the
horse power necessary to operate one
arc, or ten incandesceut lights, for from
$50 to S25, the nights to be eight hours
long; add to this the expense for neces-
sary attention, wear and tear of dyna-
mos and other incidentals, and the most
liberal estimate would not bring the
total cost of each arc light over $40.
while an incandescent light could be
operated for less than S. for the same
length of time"
For the purposes of comparison itmay
be here stated that street lighting is
now costing the city of Minneapolis at
the rate of $4,000 year, At this rate
if plant cost S25O,000 the city could buy
it's plant, run it the three years and still
save $4,000. AS thus:
Three years at present rate $40, QUO
Running it three Years. 10000
