an without tear coming to her eye be-
cause of the story attached to it.
1t was designed and built by one of
the richest men in New York-the head
of an old Dutch family-for the woman
he loved. Throughout the whole house,
which might have been called "The
House Beautiful" were the colors, fur
nishings, ornaments and dainty touches
which were the young brides taste.
The ball room, in which she expected to
"trip so many merry measures, was
walled and ceiled in many-colored mar
bles, but the lover himself directed the
building Of the porte cochere under
which her carriage was to roll, so that,
stepping out, she would not be touched
by drop of rain or flake of snow.
Everything was ready. The horses
were paving in the stable, waiting for
the day to come when they would carry
their new mistress out; the coachman
and the footman had their big white
rosettes at hand to wear on the wedding
day; the house was full of fragrance,
for beautiful flowers were massed to
please the coming mistress, and every
thing seemed to be in harmony with
this thoughtful, loving care, for the sun
shone bright, and it was somebody's
wedding day. Yes; but it wasn't
an earthly wedding, for when,
with quick footsteps. her mother
went to wake the expectant
bride she found her dead. The last
kiss she had given had been given to
her lover the night before. The last
kiss he ever gave any human being he
gave to her as she rested IN her coffin.
But he lives on in the beautiful house
and does with his great fortune a good
deal of good, all in the name of the
woman he loved. The shutters are
never opened in that wonderful house,
the carriage has never been used, no
feet have danced in the ball room; but
itand the solitary man are there as evil
dences of the fact that love can so
completely fill the heart that all life is
nothing without it.

came from all parts of the country for
the tiny jewels, and those intended for
the exclusive trade of New York were
boxed in dainty cases and presented to
the scionS of fashion at the christening.
1t soon became evident that the rings
were proving troublesome ornament,
fer not only did the diminutive pa
tricians object to the decoration, but
special attendants were needed to keep
them from being swallowed.
For the first six months the average
baby ignores the gold ring, but almost
as soon as the shining band attracts his
attention the streak of viciousness be-
comes apparent. Mr.. Baby proceeds to
gOuge his eyes out, and tear strips Of
pink and white skin from his velvety
cheek with the edge that seems sharp
est. The fiat or ribbon band is es-
pecially adapted for this purpose, and
for ploughing up the soft flesh about
his chin, or abbreviating the corners OF
his nose, there is nothing in the toilet
basket better adapted than twisted or
Venetian gold ring. All stone rings
are good for gouging purposes, and dur
ing the teethlng period most of the gems
are swallowed. 1t doesn't make any
difference how we'll the ruby or tur-
quoise may be set, if baby takes a notion
to bite and the nurse is remisS, the
stone will come out and be gulped down
in jiffy. Repeated accidents. some of
them fatal, reported to the jewellers SELL
ing the rings, have had the effect of re-
ducing the manufacture of cluster and
solitaire designs. One of the largest
firms in Broadway refused to carry any
children's jewelry set with stones, for
the reason. the manager said, ''that we
cannot afford to sell cheap designs and
the trade will not pay for the best" He
added, laying aside tray Of tiny rings
set with clusters of diamond clippings,
81 never would permit young child Of
mine to wear jeweled ornaments until
he was old enough to appreciate their
value"
An old West side specialist of chill
dren's diseases, whose book of baby
patients contains as many names as the
public records of a small town, consid.
ers the baby ring an idiotic species Of
woman's vanity.
81 am opposed to them and always
have been, for the reason that they
Shackle the child. If the mother tends
to the infant there is no danger to be
apprehended, but it is not safe to leave
a baby and gold ring alone with a
nurse girl.
SIN a CONFUSION / have seen chill
dren bruise and tear themselves with a
ring, and | also know that ornaments
of this sort often worry and distress the
little ones. They may do no harm, but
they can do no good, and for that rea-
son off with the finger-ring and away
with the bib and shoulder pin until the
nursing child is old enough to enter a
complaint against the cruelty and dis
comfort of maternal vanity.
Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon inherited large
sum of money from an admirer in an

AN OLD SONG.
sWhen am dead and you are very old
-Ropcard IN HE LADY,


sWhen am dead and you are very DID,"
-Ronsard to His Lady.
/ set my reed against my lips and blow,
From out the sunset and the thick of May,
The tune that in my throat has throbbed
all day,
To you upon your terrace pacing slow.
Oh, love- it is the sweetest tune know
In the last light a little longer stay;
Soon will break and fling my reed away,
And stripped of song, forever from you go.
Listen l pipe you some December sere:
The bough without the bloom; moons dark
< with rain;
You old; rae. dead; the keen wind at the

All how these notes will haunt that aging
The briars will blossom by your walls

society people tried fishing excursions,
but old Sol was too fierce to make them
enjoyable. and the funny beauties

induce people to join in the cool ride
and the boys should be given an i'm

ST. PAUL COMMENT.

Although it is fully two months be-
fore the labor national holiday, yet
several of the local unions are making
preparations FORTS proper observance.
Last year was the first time general
celebration was had and the success
then achieved will be followed by max
ing the celebration this year more gen
eral. The trade and labor assembly
will no doubt take the initiative III the
matter, and an effort be made to nave
the manufacturing establishments close
on this day. This is usually done III
Chicago, New York and other large
cities. The day will be observed with
a large parade of the various labor or
CARNATIONS and picnic at one of the
suburban groves.
The open Fair meeting which was ad-
dressed by Rev. g. M. Muller at Mar
ket square Friday evening demon
strates that similar meetings should be
held during the summer season, and at
more frequent intervals. The aims OF
labor organizations are not nearly we'll
enough understood by those whom they
are intended to benefit. No Opportun-
ity should be neglected that might pre-
sent itself for discussing the affairs OF
the working classes before the OUTSIDE
public. There is, however, one fact to
regret, that the meetings which were
held this week were not more fully adj
vertised, and better audiences assured.
The air of eXclusiveneSs which per-
vaded the action of the committee hav.-
ing in charge the present series OF
lectures ought to be avoided in the
future, as the labor organizations In st.
Paul are now numerically strong enough
to make success of similar attempt
if it is brought properly before them.
And it is to be regretted that a lecturer
like Mr.. Muller, possessing unquestion-
able ability as a speaker, should not be
greeted with larger audiences.
Those who doubted if the Farmers
alliance would attend the state fedora
ton of labor will perhaps he pleased to
hear that the state executive committee
of the Farmers alliance will be present,
and hope to see some plan adopted so
that the farmers and workingmen may
thoroughly understand each other. and
formulate plans for working together
where their interests harmOnize.

Ialrly atCondeQ meeting FRIDAY evening.
The different trades report trade fair,
although there is no scarcity of men.
Delegates were admitted from the wait
ers' union. The assembly had, as a
visitor, e. NJ. Mullen, who delivered a
short address, which was we'll received.
A report was received showing that,
owing to misunderstanding as to the
early closing agreement, some of the
dealers will keep their stores open even
ings during the week previous to the
Fourth of July. In order to rectify the
mistake the following was passed on
the recommendation of the retail clerks
delegates:
SIN order that no inconvenience may
be felt either by the public, or the mer-
chants who have observed the early
closing agreement, that the agreement
shall be waived during the week pre-
ceeding the Fourth of July"
The resolution was passed with the
understanding that vigorous agitation
will be begun Immediately after the
Fourth to again secure the strict OBJ
SerVance OF tne agreement.
The walters union submitted a scale
of prices, which they will ask the vari-
Gus hotels and restaurants to pay dur
ing the coming year. A committee was
appointed to act with the walters and
obtain signatures to the scale. 1t is
expected that, owing to the fact that no
increase is asked over the current rates
now paid, as the scale will establish a
uniform rate throughout the city, proba-
bly, no difficulty will be met in securing
it's adoption.
The assembly elected delegates to
represent it at the meeting Of the state
federation as follows: Frank Casserly,
J. G. Meyers, Frank F. Amos, M. Bantz,
]. II. Doyle. The following grievance
committee was appointed: T. NJ. Daggy,
E. Seitz. Frank Amos, s. Shelly, Mollie
Lee. The committee to secure, if pos
sibe, the enactment of the eight-hour
ordinance. now pending before the city
council, are: E. @. Ives, Thomas Rees
and J. 81. Doyle.
The difficulty existing between the
two bricklayers' unions was discussed,
and Messrs. Casserly, Stevenson and
Neary were appointed to secure an
amicable settlement of the affair. The
rivalry between the two unions has
been the cause Of many disputes, and
dates back to the construction of the
court house. 1t had caused several re-
auctions of wages, and in some in
stances the contractors aided the local
union to prevent mutual understand
ing. The matter, however, will now be
considered by the assembly, and very
likely the unions combined under one

EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

The BARRIERS union held largely at
tended open meeting Monday evening
to discuss the condition of their trade.
Several addresses were made by mem
beers of other unions, and many of the
employers spoke in behalf of organize
ton. By mutual agreement, the barber
shops will close at p. m, and at II
O'Clock on all holidays. The state law
for closing shops on Sunday received its
share of attention; it appears that in
some instances the law has been evaded,
and several of the small shops were
thus Disseminated against. The union
will, however, appoint grievance COM
mittee to look after any violation OF the
law. A large number Of cOlOred BARRIERS
were in attendance, and an active agi-
tation is now going on to organize a
union among them. The call for such
ansorganization will doubtless be issued
in few days.
The bOilermakers' union met Mon
day evening to receive the report of its
delegate to the national convention held
in st. Louis. The national union will
carry on an agitation for eight hours
during the coming year. and, when the
trade is sufficiently organized, make a
demand for the reduction. A delegate
will be sent to England to attend the
convention of the Boilermakers' Broth
erhood of Great Britain, which has
branches all over the world, and is con-
siGered one of the most powerful labor
organizations in existence, having over
S5,00O,OOO in its treasury. Owing to the
efforts of the st. Paul delegate the next
convention will be held in this city.
The lathers' union held several meet
ings during the past week for the pur-
pose of effecting readjustment of the
current scale of prices. Conferences
were had with the boss fathers, and
they have also organized union. This
action will place both employers and
journeymen on an equal footing. and is
expected to prove of benefit to the
craft.
A temporary organization of stereo-
typers was effected last Friday even
ing. nearly every stereotyper in the city
