The walters union met Tuesday even

mite was done. An informal discussion
showed that the union is regarded with
considerable interest by the walters
employed in st. Paul. A large men,

in working order, so as to show the ad-

members.
The pressmen's union met Monday
evening with full attendance. The
committee having in charge the strike
in Minneapolis reported the difficulty
not yet adjusted, though an amicable
settlement is expected in the near

A large number of painters attended
the open meeting held under the au-
spices of the painters union. at labor
headquarters, Tuesday. evening Ad-
dresses were delivered by III. B. Martin
and Eva Mcdonald urging the necessity
of organization. Short speeches were
also made by several members OF the
union, who stated that most of the work
done last winter was performed by ar-
prentices, while the skilled painters
were idle. A compari son of wages
with those paid in cities where thorough
organization prevails was shown to be
unfavorable to st. Paul. The union in
tends to establish an apprentice system,
thus insuring steadier employment to
members, and introducing some uni
formity of prices for journeymen.

From Merchant Tailors.

Office st. Paul Merchant Tailors' Ex7
change, st. Paul, Mimi, May "a, $780,
Editor Labor Department, Globe:
Among your labor items last Sunday,
you seem to misunderstood the recent
resolutions passed by this exchange IN
regard to outside merchant tallOrS COM
ing into st. Paul for trade; and further,
seem to confound the merchant tailorS
with the second-claSs tailorS in the re-
cent strike among jOurneymen.
Your article says: 1.-The merchant
tallors this week passed resolutions pro-
testing against the patronage OF outside
tailors by st. Paul people. The jour
neymen tailors' union and every other
labor union in the city have for weeks
been making a protest in the same direc-
ton. When the journeymen tailors
asked for living wages, several mer-
chant tailors Immediately sent their
work to Chicago, where it was done by
girls at starvation wages. Perhaps none
OF this class were present at the meet
ing where the resolutions were passed.
or if they were, perhaps they have had
a change of heart, and are willing to
paw fair wages to, their lourneymen If
st. Paul will patrOnize home tallorS.
No one doubts that building up OF any
industry by home patronage gives gooo
results all around"
If you have consulted the local col
ums of the GLOBE for few weeks past,
YOU would have understood that the
Strike of the journeymen is against the
second-class tailors of the city, who are
not by any means connected with this
institution. So far as my knowl-
edge extends not one dollars
worth of work from members of
this exchange is sent out of the city,
but is placed in the hands of first-class
journeymen (not those now on strike).
and they are paid the same bill of prices
as was adopted in 1881, which is UNI
doubtedly equal to any bill paid in the
United States. The resolutions re-
ferred to were the unanimous sentiment
of all the members of the exchange
present at the meeting at which they
were adopted. l honestly believe, how
ever, that were the people who are ac-
customed to patronize out-of-town tai
lors to spend their money in the city,
not only the members of our exchange,
but the second-class tailors, would be
benefited thereby, while L am sure the
iourneymen would feel the beneficial
effects of the circulation of this money
i'm the city.

THEATER TRAGEDY.
Fright From a Panic Causes a
Boys Death.

New York Sun.
Twelve-year-old Thomas Guilfoyle.
of GO Columbia street, Brooklyn, died
Yesterday morning from the effects, as
supposed, of his fright during the panic
which occurred at the Gaiety theater on
Tuesday night. The boy was in the
gallery when some of the drapery on
the stage caught fire, and rushed down
stairs and into the street with the eX-
cited crowd. He was not injured, how
ever, and returned to the theater when
the panic was over and remained
until the close of the performance.
His companion, however, noticed
that he was very pale and trembled
with fright, even while on his way
home. His parents noticed that he was
excited over something, but when they
asked him what was the matter. he
said: Nothing" and went to bed
without informing them of what had
taken place at the theater. During the
night he frequently awoke and
screamed so loud that he alarmed his
parents. On Wednesday morning he
was so weak that he could not leave
his bed, and DR.. II. H. Morton was
summoned, and on his arrival found
the boy suffering from vulsions.
The attacks succeeded each other so
rapidly that young Guilfoyle died from
exhaustion at an early hour yesterday
morning. Dr. Morton refused to give
a death certificate, and the case was
referred to Coroner Rooney, who in
structed DR.. a. w. Shepard to make an

POWDER IN THE NAVY.
The Grains Look Like Iron Nuts
How They Are Packed.

How They Are Packed.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The six-inch breech-loading rifle cart
ridges are composed of powder whose
grains look like iron nuts, and are made
up by piling the grains one on top OF
the other, so that the hole in the center
will be in the same line all the way
through, in order to allow the fame to
go from the ignited grains at the base all
the way through the charge and start
the ignition at all points of the cartridge
at the same time. The grains are built
up on forms, wire running
through the grains keeping them
in place. A bag is then drawn
over the grains and the wires removed
The bag is strengthened by means of
"Hercules braid;" if it was not the
weight would burst the cloth. This bag
is enveloped in copper cylinder and
Theoretically sealed. The cylinder has
a lid ON each end and ball to carry it
by. When the cylinder comes Oh deck
from the magazine the lid on the tie-end
of the bag is removed and the case in
serted in the gun; the other end is then
pulled off and ramrod shOveS the
charge home and out of the cylinder.
The weight of the cartridge is fifty
pounds and consists of about 600 grains
of powder. The grains are of an
octagonal form one and quarter inches
in length and one inch in diameter.

The Nationalist club met Tuesda,
A Queer Connecticut Spring.

Speclal TO New 1OrK sun.
Not far from the lovely little country
village of Abingdon is the most singular
spring in Connecticut, whose waters sur
charged with chemicals convert wood
that is Immersed in them into flint. The
water, clear and cold, bubbles out of the
ground at the foot of kno Il on, the farm
sof Colonel Rabbit, and ripples away to
join trout stream. The peculiar prop
critics of the spring are we'll known to
the old people of the neighborhoOd,
and there is reasonable tradition that
the Indians used the water for temper
ing their arroW-heads. They whitfield the
arrow heads out of wood, dropped the m
into the wonderful spring, and many
days later came aud recovered the m,
and they were as hard and sharp as the
nnest flint ones. A party of trout fish er-
men who recently visited the spri ng
found it's bottom Uttered with arrow
heads, and all about the place the
ground was strewn with arrow-tips,
on whose bard surface was plainly viSi-
BILE the marks of Indian chipping tools.
An old Arlington farmer said the cOun-
try boys had often successfully tested
the power of the water to petrify wood,
and verified the tradition.

lowing circular for an open meeting. to
be held at their council chamber Of the
city hall tomorrow evening. May 26:
Owing to the discussion that has recently
taken place upon the policy Of the health de-
partment of this city, and the great import
ance to citizens of proper regulations to pro-
tect the public health. the trade and labor
assembly appointed a committee 10 arrange
for public meeting of all citizens who are
interested in the matter of regulations for
the improvement of sanitary conditions. Ar
rangements have been made to hold such
meeting in the council chamber OF the city
hall Monday evening, May g. at 8 p. m.
DR.. Kilyington, commissioner of health, has
consented to read paper, and several other
gentlemen who have made study of -sani-
tary science will be present. Believing that
you are interested in this question, which so
nearly concerns the vital interests OF the
people, you IRE cordially invited to attend.
The committee have had this meeting
under consideration for several weeks.
and it promises to be interesting in
itself and probably productive of good,
by calling attention to many needed
sanitary improvements.
The trade and labor assembly meets
Friday evening, June 6. The commit
tee appointed to investigate several
matters of Importance to the commun-
ity will present interesting reports. 1t
is probable that some further action
will also be taken in regard to state fed

The typographical union holds its
monthly meeting Sunday afternoon,
June l. This meeting will be of special
Importance, because the printers will
then know the position of all employers
in regard to the proposed reduction of
hours and change in price per 1000
ems. If there is any objection on the
part of employers and the matter can
not be settled by arbitration, then the
decision would be made as to whether a
strike would be advisable. The matter
is creating intest among those not di-
rectly affected, and an impression pre-
walls that the matter will be amicably
adjusted.
Next Wednesday evening Miss Amy
Barnes and other ladies will give the
first of a course of free lectures on cook
ing. These are to be given at the La
Dor Temple and for the benefit of work
ing women. The course will be spe-
ciaIly adapted to their needs, and will
probably prove instructive. A large
class is already assured, and many more
are likely to take advantage of the OPP
portunity offered as soon as possible.

In certain family in Buffalo there is
a Gagged robin which has been the house

he did until few days ago, when a
cardinal bird was put in the cage with
him. The cardinal bird is in the hey
day of youth, and from the first he cast
a plying eye on his aged companion.
After observing HIM while it occurred
to him that he might fill up some of hi
spare time waiting on him. So he now
takes the bread and things that are put
into the cage and moistens them and
rolls them into wads or pebbles and
rams them down the robins throat.

from different unions. Delegates were
admitted from the gutter layers, bar
bers' and cigarmakers' unions.
The grievance committee stated that
they had visited the firm Of LindekeS,
Warner & Schumacher. The firm did
not give a satisfactory answer in regard
to the discharge of employees presenting
an eight-hour petition. The committee
was directed to visit the firm again next
week before the assembly takes definite
action.
The matter OF state federation was
discussed, and the assembly recorded
unanimous vote favoring a call for a
state federation as soon as may be ad-
visable.
A report of trades showed: Cigar
makers, dull {; pressmen, fair; carpenters,
wages low and hard to get; plastererS,
dull; shoemakers, brisk; printers, fair;
bakers, steady; stonemaSons, work Gull
and low wages; tallors, brisk.
The delegate from the BARRIERS union
stated the progress of the early closing
movement. In order to aid the union
all union men will patronize only those
barber shops where union men are en-
ployed and have their cards.
Delegates reported that the walters
and BARRIERS had organized unions
within the last fortnight, and elected
delegates to the trade and labor as
semblv. The paper hangers and press
feeders are also to organize. MeSSrS.
Valesh, Banz and Casserly we're ap-
pointed a committee on organization.
The delegates from the tailors' union
stated that the union scale OF prices is
being observed and union men hired IN
all shops, except those of Sandell,
Schusler and Cakes. The statements
made by Mr. Oakes in an evening paper
were emphatically denied. The mem
bers of organized labor will refuse to
patronize the tailors not employing
union men.
Matthias Bang and T. M. Daggey
were appointed delegates to the state
eight-hour league, which meets in ST..
Paul June 9.

when the election occurs.
The stonemasons' union sent in a
| communication stating that the masons
working on the new opera house were
paid last Tuesday, after working four
| weeks, and only received $3.50 per day.
The poorest workmen received as good
pay as experienced workmen. The
men asked an increase of wages, but the
contractor said he would rather hire a
new gang, even if he had to give. the
advance asked. The stonemasons claim
that the contractor prefers to hire new
men. because he gets their work for at
least month. The assembly recon-
mended that the stonemasonS perfect
their organization as fast as possible.
In this work they will receive the aid OF
all other unions.

An Atheists Funeral.

New York sun.
An odd funeral was that of Hiram
Smith, the noted atheist Of this city, at
his home Oh the West side one beauti-
full afternoon this week. Hiram was
great inventor, local poet, curious
genius. a great marrying man, having
welded altogether seven wives, but his
views on religion did not please this
Congregational town. He owned the
house in which he died, but occupied
only a small part of it, a family
named Orcutt having leased the
biggest portion. The part the in
ventor retained was too small for the
congregation that gathered at his
funeral, and the CIRCUITS were asked to
let the obsequies take place i'll their
tenement, but they firmly declined to
have the body buried from their home.
So the funeral had to be held in the
back yard of the dwelling. The casket
was mounted on temporary catafalQue
in the yard, the company gathered
about it, a brief funeral address was
recited by the master of ceremonies, and
then the dead atheist was borne away
to the burial ground. train of mOuyners
following afoot or in country vehicles.

MINNEAPOLIS COMM NJ.

A member of the Typothet8 yester-
dav. in speaking of the situation among
the printers, deplored the fact that the
MINNEAPOLIS section of the Typoth etB
are inclined to be weakened, and
fears that the union printers are so we'll
organized that perhaps it will be we'll
to concede the measures asked. He
saws that st. Paul employers are getting
ready for strike. They will not con-
cede the reduction of hours, but close
their establishments for while. The
difference of feeling among employers
in the two cities seem to arise from the
idea that the printers union is not as
storong in St. Paul as in Minneapolis.
None of the employers seem to question
the Justice of reduction Of hours, but
some think the movement should be
national among the trade,so that all EN-
ployers could figure on the same rate
of wages. On the other hand, the print
ers in both cities are quietly awaiting
the outcome and seem confident of sue
cess.
