The executive council Of the State
Federation of Labor held protracted
session at Labor hall yesterday after
possible, fairer consideration of the
labor measures now before the legisla-
tufe. The Federation claims that, in
view Of its large constituency and rep
resentatiye character, there should be
such action taken by subordinate unions
as to call to the attention of legislators
those measures which represent the
wishes of the $50 labor organizations in
the state. 1t was decided to recommend,
in circular letter, the special need of
the following measures: A mechanics
lien law. factory inspection law, en-
plOyerS' liability act, anti-Pinkerton act,
an eight-hOur law, and the anti-iron
clad bill. Some indignation was eX-
pressed at the statements made in rela-
ton to the weekly payment bill in the
house last week by Representative
Searle. The committee made report
that the representative from st. Cloud
stated during the debate that this meas
ure was opposed by the workingmen
of his district. This was emphatically
denied by the st. Cloud delegation of
Workingmen now in st. Paul, and it
will be aScertained this week by the
Federation whether this statement had
received the sanction of the st. Cloud
Trade and Labor assembly. During
the discussion it was ascertained that
well-laid scheme has been developed by
few politicians to Obstruct all labor
legislation at this session. This would
cause general dissatisfaction among
the working people at the present COM
bnatiOn controlling the legislature, and
considerable political capital will thus
be made for the party now in the minor
ity. The Federation committee will ell
deavor to explain the opposition to their
demands by calling to the attention OF
the legislature the nature OF the opposl-
tor and the men who are fighting the
needs of labor organizations. Some sur
prize was also shown at the attitude OF
numberof representatives from Ramsey
and Hennepn counties who have been
considered friendly to the labor meas
ures. Instructions were also issued to
the labor organizations in Duluth, St.
Cloud. Winona and other large cities to
petition their representatives, upon the
lines Indicated by the Federation. 1t
was further decided to compile a dlrec4
tory of the industrial organizations in
the state, in order to keep all working
men informed upon all legislation dur
ing this session. Owing to the opposi4
ton on the part of a few manufacturers
to the employers liability act. arrange1
mentS were made to. prepare in pant
phlet form suitable argument, show
ing the advantages of such meaSure.i

These are procured from the growing
timber, and generally only one tie is
taken from tree. The balance is left
on the ground to be consumed by the
annual prairie fires. Why not use ironp
An iron tie costs about sl.20 and will
last thirty years. Thus it Is seen that
in the long run iron would prove to be
the cheaper material and if used the
timber would continue to grow and the
quantity to increase.
The pine forests are being rapidly de-
nuded and already the smaller-sized
pine trees are being felled and con-
verted into lumber. This tree is of
slow growth. and it will require many
years for che pine forests to renew

Sabbath Searching.
LOSS COVERED BY INSURANCE
The Saltwater Turnverein Entertains
st. Paul and Minneapolis Ger
man Societies.

At $50 yesterday morning fire was
discovered in the portion of the Bruins
wick block, on Main street, occupied by
John Miller, dealer in boots and shoes.
The alarm was turned in, and the fire
department was soon at hand, but new
ertheless section of the building was
badly scorched ere the flames were sub
dued. The stock, which was fully in
sured, was damaged more by water
than by the flames. The origin of the
fire is a mystery, as the building was
heated by steam, and no lights were
left burning in the store. The cause OF
the fire is accredited to mice and
matches. The damage to the building
cannot yet be ascertained, bnt IS coy-
cred by an insurance of &. 1000.
The Saltwater Turnyerein entertained
the German turning societies OF st.
Paul and Minneapolis yesterday at
Music hall. Nearly forty st. Paul
turner's were present. A large portion
of the afternoon was given to an ex-
hibltion in turning and gymnastics. after
which lunch was served. The visiting
clubs returned to their homes in the
evening, we'll satisfied with the days
sport.
Mackey & Crotty have finished their
part of the contract for hauling into the
river all of the stray logs lying on the
banks of the st. CroiX, between lay
lor's Falls and the 800" bridge. They
succeeded i'll finding 2,737. 900 feet of
logs. 1t is expected that nearly 6,0OO,-
600 feet will be found in all. between
the st. CroiX boom cOmpany's limits
and Taylor's Falls.
In the fourteenth game of the whist
contest, between the North and South
Hill clubs at the Sawyer house, Satur-
day evening. the latter club succeeded
in cutting down the lead OF the former
from eighteen to three points. The
last game OF the series, which will be
played next Saturday evening, at the
residence of Hon. August Booren,
promises to be the most exciting one of
all. owing to the small difference which
exists between the two clubs.
Another trotting matinee has been
arranged Tor tomorrow afternoon on
the Lake st. CroiX track. -Four entries
have been made, comprising the horses
which made the best time i'll the race
last Thursday afternoon.
A heavy snow storm prevailed yester-
day afternoon, and much delay was eX-
perienced in running the electric street
cars.
A good deal of interest is conferred III
the five-miie go-as-you-please race at
Music hall this evening between w. F.
Walsh. the champion tive-mile runner
of the state, and Gus Guerrero, the

that Walsh will win, many of his friends
think that he will give his opponent

A CURIOUS BLUNDER,
BY Which Bright Boy Was
Drawn for Jury Service.

BY Which Bright Boy Was
Drawn for Jury Service.
Some of the queerest complications
conceivable have resulted from an
amusing inaccuracy in the st. Paul city
directory of the present year. When
the names of those employed in the
office of the Associated Press were
taken, that of James Black, messen-
ger boy in the office, was taken among
them. Black is good, bright boy Of
his age, and by no means averSe to pro-
motion, but the title given him by the
directory. when it appeared, staggered
even young gentleman of his soaring
aspirations. His name appeared thus,
in bIack-faced type:
james B.aek, manager Associated
Press, boards psf Hall avenue"
The word messenger" had been mis-
read manager" in the process of class
ification, and the Office boy of the ASso-
ciated Press became its manager for the
year 1891, that is, so far as the public
could discover by reference to the pub
lie guide. The results of this mistake
of the directory people have been ludi-
crous. From the time the directory
was issued, letters intended for the
manager of the concern, b. f. CoWan,
have been directed to James Black. Mr..
Cowan has been obliged to create his
office boy sort of assistant manager, in
that he has a right to peruse letters adj
dressed to him, no matter what the in
tention of the sender may have been.
just at present Manager Cowan and
Assistant Black go over the mail to-
gether, and the latter at least is having
lots of fun out of it.
The complication reached climax
Saturday. and the youthful manager"
must go into court Wednesday and eX-
plain himself. In drawing petit jury
for the district court his name was
selected. and Saturday deputy sheriff
summoned him in due form. He was a
little frightened at first, but will prob
ably be able to explain to the court that,
after all, he sis only boy"

SAVE OUR FORESTS.
Where Substitute for Wood Can
Be Made, Do 1t.

Members of the legislatures! The de-
struction of the forests and of all tim
Der is one that interests the people of
the entire state. By careful caIcnla-
ton it is found that at this time the con-
sumption of wood every year is double
the natural production. 1t will thus be
seen that the time will come when there
will be scarcity Of wood for fuel and
for building. Whenever and wherever
substitutes can be used they should be
called into requisition. Railroad ties
are required i'll great quantities, and the
use of wood for such purposes is simply
enormous. The lifetime Of wooden
tie is about eight years and the average
cost Is aboRt so cents each. Every mile

Ladies Appear at a Dinner i

Fashions Now Long Dead.
New York Times.
Alta pink dinner en- costume given
last week to twelve ladies of social
prominence one of the guests wore
the actual toilet in which she APP
peared at. reception thirty years
ago. 1t was the height of the
fashion at that time. The dress was a
magnificent one of heavy old rose silk,
with trimmings of Honiton lace. 1t
was cut away in the neck, with volu-
minous sleeves, full gathered skirt, and
immense hoops. She wore headdress
to match. mitts. and carried bag. Her
pink kid CATERS were long and
slender and laced on the i'll
side. Another guest wore genu-
Inc gown of her at-greatgreat-gran
mothers. This was white silk with
clusters of brilliant flowers on a bro
caded ground, and was worn with pet
ticoat of another shade to which large
Gainsborough a. corresponded in color.
Old Iaces and jewels completed the cos
tune, and its wearer, as did her anceS-
tor, adorned her fair face with numer-
Gus patches of court-plaster in star and
other designs.

IL Kills at Five Miles.

New York Times.
Inside the walls of the Colt factory. at
Hartford, Conn.,, has recently been COM
peted and tested the first of the briggs
Schroeder rapid-firing guns, which the
government has purchased for use in
the army. BY rapid fire" it is not
meant that the new guns will send
bullets with the rapidity of the famous
Calling gun, but iC will send them of
much larger size and with rapidity
heretofore unequaled in such prOjectiles.
The Driggs-Schroeder gun fires pro
iectlleS weighing from one to eight
pounds.
The first gun of this type to be COM
pleted and to enjoy protection and own
erShip by the United States government
is a six-pounder; that Is. it sends a siS-
pound projectile distance OF at least
i've miles. The projectlle IS cone
shaped. and is made of hardened steel,
and so great is the velocity when fired
from the gun that it will perfOrate six
! inch steel plate at one mile without fiat
tening or otherwise damaging itself.
Although the new gun weighs S4S
pounds, so skillfully is it mounted and
/ balanced that the interest, touch OF a
anger sets it revolving about its axis.
In this way the horiZQntal aim is Sc
cured. High or low range is only a
matter of the gentIest louch on the
breech of a vertical plane. All this is
so simple that gunner can fire the
piece in all four points of the compass
just as quickly-and perhaps more ac-
curately-than he could fire self-cock-
ing revolver in the same direction. A
siX-pound projectiIe can be sent whirl-
ing toward the north. and immediately
another can be sent toward the south,
long before the first has reached its
destination.
The mechanism of the gun proper is
as simple as that of the mounting APP
paratus. The firing is effected by means
of trigger no larger than that OF an
ordinary revolver. There are two eX-
tractors. each working independently of
the other. so that if one becomes dis
abed the empty case Will be safely and
surely elected by the other. The me-
chanicaI parts of the gun are completely
covered by steel band. so that it is i'm
possible for dirt to get into the breech
opening The gun was invented by
Lieut. w. Ii. briggs, of the United
States navy, who. with Lieut.. Seaton
/ Schroeder. patented his invention and
resigned from the service in order to de-
vote himself to its manufacture.
