sion auxiliary met Monday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. A. E. Allard. 1t was
decided by unanimous vote TO dlSc0n-
tinue the regular meetings during the
summer. This was thought TO be nee
essary owing to the fact that so many
of the members will be away during the
vacation. The auxiliary has done very
good work since its organization year
ago, and while its meetings will be dis
continued its interest and aid in all
home charities will not be less active.

by her daughter Alvira, together with
Mrs. Georges. Morris and daughter,
Helen. left Wednesday evening for a

Beach, Me-, and will reach home the
end of September, visiting relatives and
friends in Ohio on their way back.
Invitations are out for the recep tion
to the members an friends of theChau-
tauqua circle Monday evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. q. n. Hazard.
This will close the circles work for the
present year, an adjournment having

HAMLINE COLLEGE.

There is nothing going on in college

tennis matches and archery practice.

in the others by limited number, and
some very good playing is done. The
Suph. senior nine tried to get back at

for defeat suffered a week ago, but
they only made a bad matter worse.
The plucky little fellows on the other
side played to win, and the resulting
score covered their opponents not only
with defeat, but with chagrln. 1t was 6

Profs. Merriam and Patten gave a
pleasant private recital. i'll the music
room Of University hall Wednesday att
ernOOn to a small number of pupils and
friends. The vocal numbers were given
very creditably by Misses Clarke and
Turner and Messrs. HiX0n and Tuckey.
The piano selections predominated,
there being no less than eight, but as
they were all rather short and not too
classical, the small audience did not
find them tedious. The parts most de-
serving mention were the solos by Miss
Clarke and Mr.. HiXOn-the latter's song
being especially we'll rendered-and the
playing of Miss Seegar. This is the
firsJ recital in which Prof. Patterns pu-
pills have taken any part. 1t is hoped
that before long public one will be
given, in which they may have more OF
an opportunity to show what they are
doing.

TRADE AND LABOR.

The trade and labor assembly held a
we'll attended meeting Friday evening,
and transacted some business of special
Importance to the organizations repre-
scented. The delegates from the retail
clerks union said the earIy-closing
movement is now an established Gus
tom, but the following stores still re-
fuse to close:
S. Frank, Pioneer Tea company. Mrs. D..

Union Pacific Tea company, Nine. Julien.
Zeigler Bros, 81. Straus, Seng & Ortel, Max
Straus, P. II. Fabel, j. NJ Semdecker Stand
ard Clothing company, Kennedy Chitten-
den and j. V. Fitzgerald.
This list is kept by all organized men,
and they propose to let these stores so
thoroughly alone that the dealers will
find it more profitable to close early.
B. F. Knauft, hardware merchant,
asked to address the assembly, and the
rules were suspended to allow him the
privilege. He stated that the following
agreement had been circulated by the
hardware dealers themselves:
We, the undersigned hardware stores and
house-furnishing goods dealers, do agree to
close our respective places OF business every

ENTS OF The WEEK.

The tailors' union held well-attended
meeting Monday evening. Their strike
was discussed at some length, and the
fact ascertained that a few of the firms
were trying to have their work done in
Chicago. The success of the expert
ment, however, was dou bted. The del
egateS who were elected to the trade
and tabor assembly will bring this mat
ter to the notice of the different unions
and assemblies. s.
The retail clerks met Wednesday and
made further arrangements to have the
early closing agreement observed. Tie
committee appointed to visit the various
labor organizations has been doing active
work, which may to some eXtentaccOunt
for the continued growth OF member
ship. The Duluth clerks, who are TAX
ing steps to form union, sent one Of
their number. George M. Ebee. to st.
Paul for the purpose of getting InfOrma-
ton relating to the clerks movement.
The delegate appears well pleased with
the work done and the outcome of his
visit will he a clerks union patterned
after the local union in st. Paul. The
clerks are also discussing the feasibility
of forming national organization. Ar
engagements were made for the next
open meeting for Wednesday evening,
May 81.
The cigarmakers at their meeting held
Thursday evening decided i'll favor of
taking steps to form state federation
of labor. The delegates to the state
eight-hour league received instructions
to aid in bringing the federation Into
existence.
The Typographical union held meet
ing Sunday afternoon. Delegates to the
international union were given no in
StructionS regarding the move for re-
duction of working hours. but the eight
hour idea is looked upon with consider
able favor. The matter of securing a
change in the present scale i'll the book
and job offices was referred to the eX-
ecutive council, who will arrange a
meeting with the employers to intro
duce the much-deSlred revision of the
scale now paid.
The cooperative hall board met Mon
day evening. After transacting the
usual routine business the resignation
of the janitor was received aud Nels
SorenSon placed in charge of the halls.
The board intends to make some
changes to meet the increasing demand
for meeting rooms. The next meeting
takes place the first Monday in June.
The paper hangers of st. Paul held an
informal meeting Thursday evening for
the purpose of organizing union. The
good result shown by the organization
of the painters and decorators has been
the reason of calling this meeting. and
it is expected a union will be formed
next week.

A LITERARY ORDER.
The Reasons That Such Thing
Can Never Be Formed.

The Reasons That Such a Thing
Can Never Be Formed.
Utica Herald.
Is there literary order-or, better, a
literary elass-a mong US? In the old
days of ''Merrie England the authors
and reviewers, even II they starved. had
a pride in their profession and jealous
guardianship of its pale. The literary
men of England to-day are better or
ganiZed, more sympathetically attached
to one an other in their literary work
than are our own. The general prin-
ciple of indie pendent fighting for repu-
tation among American literary people,
from the humbleSt reviewer to the most
privileged and hon0red contributor.
largely destroys the tendency to form a
literary standard or class. and one can
hardly exist without the other.
Our writer's come from all professions.
One of the brightest of our latter school
of poets is banker and broker, daily
attending to his unpoetical occupation
in the most methodical manner. A GER
tain few live by literature, or find in
the editorial work of journals. maya
zines and reviews the support which
literary work alone will not bring them.
Publishers are beSet with more manu-
scripts than people will read III the next
thousand years. The art of selecting
what is truly valuable becomes more
and more essential. A hundred anna
teur pens are scribbling where there
was one hundred years ago.
How can a literary class be formed
out of men so diverse in occupation,
with many of whom literature is but
diversion or branch of their business?
How can it be formed out of the thou
! sands of claimants who. for the honor
that attaches to the science of letters,
are willing 60 risk their regulations on
crudities which the wits and criti les Of
the Eizabethan age would have de-
stroyed with the caustic touch of satire
and ridicule. The tyros are innumer-
able. A literary class. then, is driven
out of question by she er force OF num-
berS, and literary standard made al
most impossible for the same reason.
Yet an advance toward the establishing
of literary fraternity is made in the
successful meetings of the American
National Society of Historians. in the
formation of excellent authors CLUBS"
in New York and Boston, and in the
growing tendency of writer's to encour-
age literary comradeship.

O'clock lin Hall No. 8. This meeting
will decide whether the league shall
continue the eight-hour agitation or re-
solve Itself into state federation of

opinion among delegates from different
sections of the state, and a lively dis
cussion is sure to ensue when the ques-
ton comes up. One of the officers was
he thought the league had still
plenty of work in its own special
field before the eight-hour day could
become general in Minnesota. For this
reason the league should continue its
educational work, and let the state fed
Grafton be organized as an entirely sep
arate body. The executive committee
will report what sentiment they find
among the various organizations in re-
garu to forming federation. and this
report will largely determine the future
action of the league. The official report
in regard to crafts that have demanded
the elght-hOur day will also be received
with much interest. A general attend

HAMLiNE SOCIAL.

A very pleasant little event in social
way was the phantom party given Fri
daV evening at Odd Fellows hall by
the Young ladies of the choral club.
The phantOmS of course were the novel
feature of the evening. These were
the young ladies, each face and figure
closely shrouded in virgin white, and as
they appeared marching in ghOstly pro-
cesslon down the dimly lighted reception
room the effect was indescrlbably weird
and uncanny. Each gentleman CT the
party was provided with pencil and tab
lets, by means of which he was eX-
pected to carry on any communication
he might wish to make with which
ever one of the shad0Wy thr0ng
should fall to his lot. 1t was mex
pressibly funny to see the bewildered
gentIeman's lively curiosity betrayed
in every movement, gesture, expression,
trying to discover the identity of his
particular phantom. Some, more clever
than others, finally penetrated its dis
guise, and the lady forthwith I'M
masked; but the majority, despite all
efforts. remained completely myStified
until the time came for all to unmask;
then baff1ed curiosity was satisfied, and
the gentlemen wondered how they
could have been so stupid as not to
have guessed before. The whole per-
Torrance was the occasion of an end
less amount OF fun, and it was a gay lit
tie party that finally sat down to the
delicate collation. served in the brill
iantly lighted dining room A lively
time followed, and when, at late hour,
the small company broke up, it was
with the conviction that they had spent
a most delightful evening. These were
there: Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Wallace,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Rounds, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. e. Allard, Mr. and Mrs. I. Nc
Collam, Mrs. J. Donaldson, Misses
Wood. Webb. Higgins, Kennedy, Black
well, Brettung, Clark; MeSsrs. Norris,
Brink, Merrill, Montgomery, McCrea,
Sanger. Rounds and Reeves.
Friday evening Mrs. J. II. Chamber
lain entertained a few of the older resi-
dents of Hamlne at her home on Simp-
son avenue, in honor of the ftty-seventh
birthday of Mr.. Chamberlain. 1t was
an old-fashioned informal dinner party,
and like all such gatherings of old
friends and neighbOrS, WAS one of I'M
allowed pleasure. Among the invited
gnests were the following: Mr.. and

The stonemasons' Tale of Woe.

Editor Labor Department
The sUonemasons of st. Paul wish to inform
the public as to the quality of stone work
being done on many new houses erected by
real estate dealers for speculative purposes
The quality Of wo:k done on them is dis
graceful People who buy them and pay big
prices are badly cheated. The only thing
substantial about them is the paint. The
reason for this is that contractors hire labor
ers to do mason work, under the direction of
one or two men who understand the trade.
This keeps wages down and gives app-en-
tees no inducement to thoroughly learn the
trade. You never see a boy learning the
trade in this country. We have no protec-
ton whatever for our trade. As sample
of the treatment we receive from employ
ers. l quote the following instance
Il will never give you days work again; l
will put every dollar can OFT of your pocket
and will pre- vent you from attaining work
wherever L cau." This TRADE was delivered
by we'll known member of the contractors
and builders unisn, simply because q stone
mason asked pay for his work when finished
and could not wait from day to day to suit
the convenience of the contractor. He has
not been paid vet A black list is put upO n
himself and associates. simply for demand
ing wages Justly due them. The contractors
all over the city take unfair advantage of the
stonemaSOns. We must begin WORK without
knowing the wages: we must wait from TWO
to six weeks for the wages they choose to
paw u.s. We ask the aid of all other trades to
enable the stonemaSons to organize so thor
oughly that the trade can protect itself and
establish apprentice rules which Will be
strictly enforced This will benefit the trade
an insure good work to the public. In some
respects the American workman can learn
from the trade unions in the old land. where
the government to some extent protects
skilled trades. ". r. T.
