CARPENTERS AND JoINERs.
Warning Given to Remain Away FroI

Warning Given to Remain Away From
Chicago.
At meeting of Carpenters and Joiners'
Union. No. 482, last night resolution to as
sess each member 81 to increase the funds,
which have been depleted by the payment
of sick benefits, was introduced, but de-
feated. Accident benefits were ordered
paid to two members.
IL was decided to continue making weekly
contributions to the iron-molders as long as
their strike lasts. Reports stated that
work is improving. All the nine-hour
Jobs are finished and the eight-hour
rule is being enforced. The assessment for
the Building Trades Bureau was decreased
from 10 to 8 cents month for each member.
A communication from the United Car
penters' Council of Chicago asked the union
to assist in keeping carpenters away from
that city. 1t is claimed that there are now
1900 idle men in Chicago, aud that rush
for work on the Worlds Fair buildings
would have a tendency to lower wages and
increase the hours of toll.

BRAZEN CHEEK.
1t Proves Intellectual in Owen
C0nnOlly's Case.
The Superintendent of Streets Ordered to Re-
move His Distractions or Public
Thoroughfare.

About year ago one Owen Connolly pur-
chased a load of lumber and ordered the
drayman to dump it in the middle of Jessie
street, near Tenth. Subsequently he caused
building to be erected on the spot and
ordered fence built around the property.
The property-owneIs in the neighborhOod
tolerated the nuisance for while and then
complaint was made to the Board of Super
visors and the Superintendent of Streets
was directed to remove the distractions.
Connolly had set up title to the property,
however, and Immediately sued out an in
junction restraining him from doing his
duty.
AN INJUNCTION Is ASKED.
The matter came up before Judge Levy
and was dismissed, but the squaster imme-
diately applied to Judge Rearden for an in
junction, the latter deciding that he had no
title to the property and denying the pc
tition. La October the latter magistrate
signed the findings in the case, ind0rsing
on the TACK thereof the order that they
should remain in the possession of the clerk
until further order.
But Connolly was obdurate. and he in
duced the Supervisors to instruct the City
aud County Attorney to bring suit to quiet
title to the property. At this stage of the
proceedings the findings Of eX-Judge Rear
den turned up missing, and the order based
thereon could not, therefore, be enforced.
Yesterday the qulet-title case came up be-
fore Judge Wallace, but he refused to hear
it, saying that as Judgment had been rem
dered By department Of coordinate jurlS-
diction The action could have no effect.
REARDEN's JUDGMENT EFFECTUAL.
The litigants were referred to Judge
Sanderson, and the latter, saying that he
had made a careful examination of the
matter, concluded that the judgment was
effectual.
A motion for stay of proceedings was in
dgnantly denied, and Attorney Mullaney
was compelled TO surrender the findings.
Judge Sanderson referred to Connolly as "a
squatter of the shotgun ORDER" and said
that he would not Interfere in behalf of a
man who had surreptitiously gained posses
sion of public street. He ordered the
Superintendent of Streets to Immediately
proceed with his work Of removing the OBJ
structons.
IN THE SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE.
After his inglorious defeat in court Con-
molly appeared in the office of the Superin-
tendent Of Streets. and, to use the language
of Chief Deputy Owens, tried to "buldoze"
that department, into withholding action
temporarily. in his behalf il was declared
that his remedies at law had not yet been
exhausted, as he would appeal the case to
the Supreme Court. Superintendent Gilleran
declined to be "buldozed," and served
notice last night that the distinctions
would be removed in twenty-four hours.
The fence will be torn down this morning
and The tenement next raided.

Grogan, assisted by Mr.. Middleton, craftsman
from the Office of the supervising architect Of
the Treasury Department, and Lieut.. E. d.
Taussig, who has been detailed BY the Navy
Department to assist Captain Meade.
Capt. Meade says that he could not have car
ried out his idea successfully without the hearty
cooperation he has received from Chief Con-
structor Wilson Of the Navy Department and
Mr.. James II. Windrim, supervising architect
of the treasury, aided by Mr.. Grogan and his
assistants.
Mr.. Windrim, under whose direction the
structure will be erected. pronounces it not
only unique, but feasible and economical of
construction. Nothing of the kind has ever be-
fore been attempted at a worlds fair. The cost
OF this curious and original building will be in
the vicinity of s100, 600. The amount pledged
by Congress for all purposes of a government

Capt. Meade proposes that, at the close of the
exposition, in November, 1893, this building be
turned over to the city Of Chicago as o naval
drill place, or naval armory," for the use OF
the naval reserve Of the lakes, Of which the CEN
trail station will naturally be Chicago. As bat

We're the foot at all times resting fat on the

wearing such shoe; but everybody, at some
time or other, does more or less walking up or
down hill, and, furthermore, everybody is ad-
dicted to the wearing Of heels of high or low
degree. Let us for moment look at Fig g. which

not wear high heels the foot assumes exactly

loose at the toes is injurious to the foot in pro-
portion to the height of the heel and amount of
down-hill walking the wearer may do. The
tendency Of the foot in such shoe is to work
to the front, but it is held in place by the tight
instep, and being loose at the toe receives no
support from that point, consequently the
whole strain comes upon the igaments form

the arch depends upon the tensity of its liga-

How:to Manage Husbands.

From a symposium in the Philadelphia Times
"How to manage husbandsT' said Mrs
Frances HOdgson Burnett the authoress Of
Little Lord Fauntleroy," echoing the ques-
ton. "You mean how to manage them to
make them happy? In my judgment. no man
or woman, married or single, can be made
happy by others. Others may afford us oppor-
tunities of being happy, but no one can compel
us to be happy whether we will or not Our
happiness or unhappiness must ever depend
largely upon ourselves, let our surroundings
and our companions be what they may. You
remember Mark Tapley in Dickens novel Of
Martin ChuzZlewit? You know his great OBJ
ject in life was to be Jolly, he called it, un-
der adverse circumstances, and he sought dill
gently to place himself in the most depressing
situation possible in order to prove that a man
may be eontented and happy in any condition
if he only will.
SIN married life, as in everything else in this
world, there is everything in beginning right,
and the very beginning is when the young man
and the young woman who are to comprise the
future married couple receive their first train
ing in early childhood. In most of the cases
where marriage has proved failure q close in
vestigation will show that the husband or wife
perhaps both-has never received a proper
business or domestic training, and each has re-
lied on the other to make him or her happy.
This notion, in itself, is fatal to happiness The
man or woman who sits down and waits to be
made happy by their conjugal partner, and be-
comes angry with the said partner because lie
or she does not manufacture the required
amount of happiness, will in a short time de-
clare marriage failure, and, perhaps, seek re-
lief in one Of those divorces which may now be
SO easily obtained without publicity.
"a girl whose natural domestic tastes have
been carefully developed, and who has other
wise been properly trail med, will have very
little trouble in making home what it should
be, and one Of the greatest Of all points in
managing husband is to make home the most
attractive Of all places to him.
"A good story is told of two brothers-in-law
one rich, the other poor, meeting after long
separation.
"'How do you spend your eveningsT asked
the poor man.
"'Oh. at the club was the response.
"'At the club" exclaimed the poor man in
tone Of deep oommiseration. '1hat's not like
home, is it?'
"No, indeed it is not, thank heaven! II it
were should never CO.
"There are countless men like him who seek
the club as relief from home because their
wives do not know how to manage husbands
by making home attractive"

It Was They Who Put mp the Monument
to George Warrington.
Who built the Warrington monument?
Funny creatures with shells made il long ares
ago ct the bottom Of the sea. Some of them
were little and some quite big, but all Of them
left their houses behind them when they died,
to furnish material for memorial 10 the
father Of his country.
II you will 60 up to the top Of the hill, at the
foot Of which are the fish ponds, and will
examine closely some of the stones of which
the monument is built, you will find their sur
vidual shells that lent their substance to this
mighty structure symbolical Of eternity. This
is because the shells in the beds from which the
marble came were 90 squeezed together by
pressure and otherwise metamorphosed as to be
reduced to simple mass of lime. In many
marbles. however, you will discover the shells
quite visible, 80 that their very form, preserved
beauty to the polished rock Few things can
be more interesting than torobserve the trace
OF what was once living organism in form
alton which so evidently dates back to an epoch
long before the earliest possible appearance of
man upon the globe
But the mere deposit of such shells did not
make marble. 1t required geologic action to
effect the transformation of the limestone into
the material which composes the Washington
monument. For instance, when, by the cooling
OF the earth's crust, the latter was crumpled up
SO as to form mountains, great heat was de-
veloped and limestone beds IN places where
such action tack place went through a process
Of Capitalization by the heat, thus forming
what is known as marble. Wherever traces OF
the original shells which compose the limestone
are found they are called fossil shells. If the
monument contained such shells, visible in
their original shape, it would be most inter-
esting memorial of the world before the deluge,
as well as Of the immortal George
