COLUMBUS RELICS.
Proposed Reproduction OF tho Conven
La Rabida a. tho Exposition.

Proposed Reproduction OF tho Convent
La Rabida a. tho Exposition.
The worlds fair directory is recon-
mcnded by its foreign affairs commit
tee to appropriate fifty thousand dollars
for the purpose of building ut Jackson
park fac simlIe OF the ancient convent
of La R&bida, of Palos, Spain. 1t is be-
licved that this would be the most ap-
propriatc structure possible in which to
exhibit the large number of relics of
Columbus which is being collected. If
the project is carried ont, as it seems
probable 1t will be, this building and its
contents will doubtless be one of tho
exhibition attractions which no visitor
will be content to leave without seeing.
1t was at the door of the convent of
La Rabida that Columbus, disappointed
and downhcarted, asked for food and
shelter for himself and his child. 1t was
here that he found an asylum for few
years while he developed his plans and
prepared the arguments which he sub
mitted to the council ut salamanca 1t
was in one of the rooms of this convent
that he met the Dominican monks in
debate, and it was here also that he
conferred with Alonzo Pinzo, who
afterwards commanded ono of the YES
sells of his fleet. In this convent Column
bus lived while he was making prep
arations for. his voyage, md ON the
morning that he sailed from Palos he
attended himself the little chapel.
There is no building in the world so
closely identified with his discovery as
this. and fortunately its architecture is
of such character as to permit of a re-
production at a comparatively small
cost, and at the same time furnish a
picturesque view and appropriate group
among the splendid buildings that will
be erected at jackson park. 1t will not
only be of itsci1 monument to Colum-
bus, but it will furnish comnodious and
convenient show rooms for the collec-
tions and relics of Columbus that are to
be exhibited. Besides large collection
| of maps, manuscripts, books and pic
lures that are being secured there will
be among them public and private col
lections both; from Europe and the
United States. Many of the articles be-
ing Of great value, it is proposed to
hiring them all together in this build
ing, wiage they will be secure from fire
nud au other dangers.

The Trades Assembly.

The trades and labor assembly met
last Friday evening and Immediately
took up the matter of President Com
pers' lecture, to be given at the Harris
theater the evening of March 50. The
reports from other cities show that he IS
receiving a perfect ovation. The St.
Paul labor organizations are anxious 20
make the affair an event TO be remem-
bered. The clgarmakerS' union report
ed that it would furnish band to escort
President GOmpers TO the theater, and
extended an invitation to all other I'M
ions to join with it in doing honor to
the president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Further arrangements
will be left to the committee of arrange
ments. The committee are Delegates
Myers, Ives, Brown, Valesh and Cas-
sells.
The st. Louis beer boycott is arousing
considerable interest, both within and
without labor circles. At the request
of several delegates, a special committee
will consult with President Gompers on
his arrival here and endeavor to get a
full history of the entire trouble. The
question is being raised by agents of the
company as to whether the boycott is
unsuitable. An investigation shows that
the American Federation of Labor had
ample cause for its action; but the as
sembIy will secure several interesting
facts in regard to the matter, and, prob
ably. have them published.
The Railway Employees club came up
for discussion. Some of the prominent
members of the club had promised to
meet the trades assembly in open debate,
but they failed to appear. An investi-
cation shows only fifteen employees of
the railroads as members of the club,
outside of the officers whose names f.
ure on their printed list. 1t seems that

THOROUGHLY DoCToRED.

While six Englishmen were waiting
at a depot in small town in Arkansas,
in America, colOred woman came up

the Birmingham Mercury. One of them
was, and she rolled her check apron in
her hands in a fussy way, and asked
if he wouldn't list step ober to

and said he would go, and two or three
of the others went with him. As they
drew near the cabin the woman halted
and said, PIE bin all de dOctah he's

A shrewd Proposition.

In the olden days, when railroad COM
panies used to believe thdir conductors
honest, an official, whose run was from
Buffalo east, was called into the presi-
dents room at the end of one of his
trips, and the big man kindly said to
him:
John, the receipts on your runs have
been growing beautifully less for some
time past"
Yes, sir, but travel is very light, you

Suicides hx Literary Women.

Froken Minna Telenius, from Fin
land, who the other day committed
suicide at Copenhagen hotel, is the
third authoress who within some two
or three years has taken her life in the
Danish capital. The two others were
Fru Victoria Benedictsson, the we'll
known Swedish lady writer, better
known under her nom de plume as Ernst
AhIgren, and the young Danish lady,
Froken AIDA Roonkilde. Literature
not having brought them the fame or
the success they expected, they were
unable to bear the disappointment.
None had, however, shown more de-
termination than the young Finnish
lady who ended her life the other day.
She had arranged everything with Won
derful GOODNESS and dressed herself in
white before taking the deadly poison.

CURED HIM OF DRINKING.
A Pittsburg Woman Tries a Novel
ExDeriment With Good Results.

Aid. Beinhauer, of the South side. has
hit upon novel plan of re-establishing
domestic felicity in unhappy homes by
curing convivial husbands of drunken
ness. says the Pittsbnrg Dispatch.
For some time past all the women and
men in the ward-and sometimes from
other wards-who do not live happily
have been in the habit of seeking the
alderman's advice. Two-thirds of the
cases that people wish to enter for trial
at court could not run the gauntlet Of
the grand jury, so the alderman has
adopted another plan, which was I'M
folded in a conversation with woman
VINO last night wished to sue her hus-
band for support. She had no case, and
had no grounds either for charges Of
cruelty.
"Tu tell you how to cure him. said
the alderman. You just do the same
as he does. If he comes home and
smashes furniture. you take a poker
and help him. If he swears, you swear
worse than he does. If he gets drunk,
you go and get drunk, too. You can
Stop him that way, for l have given
others the same advice, and their nus
bands wiIted, and things were there
after all right.
"a short time ago woman came to
me and said her husband got drunk and
raised a row at home. l told her to do
the same, and she said she would. After
leaving my Office she saw the barkeeper
of the saloon her husband frequented
and told him that if she came into the
saloon and asked for drink he must
not stop her, but do as she wanted.
THE next evening she walked boldly
into the saloon where her husband and
| boon companions were ranged along the
| bar. and said: i say, fellows, IFS
mighty mean weather. Have a drink,
will you? Take one on me. Bartender,
give me a good, stiff whisky. want
Looking at the men, who stood
aghast, the woman said: What's up.
boys? Have a drink. l say and she
| drained the trimming glass, though it
nearly choked her. Her husband came
up to her and said: why, Mary, why
/ are you here?' I've as much right as
you,' replied the woman.
LAS a sequel to the story. the man
| and wife left the saloon together and
! the husband took solemn vow to never
touch liquor again. The couple are
now living very happily. and it was
| better than dozen law suits"
| When the alderman finished his tale
the woman said: "I'll do the same thing
| if it kills me-" So some recreant hus-
band must beware of a scene.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

The shoemakers have been making

conversation. are joined by a few more,
adjourn to one of the halls, lock the
doors. and, after prOtracted session,
come forth with smiling faces. Ii you
ask what their business is. they answer:
"Only arranging for a social entertain

be true, but at the same time it is a
noticeable fact that the shoemakers' as
Sembly has received nearly 100 applica-
tons for membership in the past week,
and the legislature has been beseiged
with petitions against the estab
lishment of shoe shops at Still
water. These petitions bear the seal of
the shOemakerS' assembly and seem to
have etfectually dispelled any idea that
Legislators might have entertained in
regard to the establishment of shoe
shops at Saltwater, The shoemakers
have no particular grievance" at their
shops, at least none but what may be
remedied by little friendly consulta-
ton with shop foremen and employers.
The carpenters are holding several
open MEETINGS each week anu TdplUIy

penters' union is attached to the Ma
tiOnal Brotherhood, but has had some
trouble with awiId-eyed individual who
wanted to start little local institution to
be managed solely by himself. His pro-
iect did not meet with favor, however,
and the legitimate union is rapidly
growing in strength and influence.

the Railway Employees club has no.
aeld meeting for several months past.
/ The delegates to the assembly were
much disappointed that no representa-
lives of the employees club were pres
ent. The following letter did not at all
fill the aching void:
To Frank Valesh, President State Fedora
ton Of Labor-Dear Sir: The attention of
the club has Just been called to the following
proposition made by member of your coun-
ell to one of this club, viz: THAT our com
mittee meet the trades assembly in conveu-
ton for the purpose of defining our relative
interests
| instructed to state that a proposition so wide
and far-Teacning is considered beyond the
welfare of railway employees. But If con-
slstent with your views, committee from
this club will take much pleasure III CONFER
ring with a like committee composed Of rail
way employees from the trades assembly.
| Awaiting your pleasure, am respectfully
yours, W. E. PERRY.
The assembly regarded this as plan
on the part of the railway employees to
get an opportunity to blacklist the
members of legitimate railway organ
iZatiOns and declined to accept the
proposition.
The BARRIERS complain that their early
! closing movement is being endangered
! by the Portland shop and that of Sather
on Seventh street. Keeping open OH
/ Sunday is also another source of annoy
| ance, and the present Sunday closing
| law is not in shape that it can be en-
| forced.
The delegates from the cigarmakers'
union stated that plans are being formed
to secure patronage for the blue label in
| country districts. The Farmers Alli-
ance is friendly to the movement. and
will probably give considerable aid.
The report of trades showed: Print

Negro Suicides.
Savannah News.

SHVduUau N6Ws-
That young insane negro who COM
mitted suicide at Thunderbolt yester-
day recalls the fact that negro very
rarely takes his own life. Such thing
as dependency is to the average negro
an unknown quantity. Careless and
gay of nature, he is ever blithe and joy
GUS, and his whole life tendency is for
eign to despair. In the language of the
song, "A nigger's always happy 'ceppin'
he git in jail" 1t is well that they can
be so easily made glad. Such simple
content is gratifying to look upon.
