Did You Ever Think of 1t?

There are three things that ''set
man off, whether his clothes be of the
latest cut and best quality or not. They
are: A good looking hat, nicely polished
shoes and clean collar and cuffs With
these man looks decent no matter how
cheap his clothes, if they are not abso-
lutely ragged or unnecessarily soiled.
And no one is quicker to recognize this
than tine ladies. 1t is a matter OF prime
importance then to observe this fact.

Y. M. G. A. NOTES.
An Interesting Service.

A large audience gathered at the NJ.
E. Church last Sunday afternoon to
hear the delegates to the late State
Convention tell some of their impress
sions and experiences ofthat gathering.
The time was not long enough for all
to speak, but ten gentlemen made brief
reports.
Rev. Alex. Sprunt told who were
| there-some 255 delegates, mostly
young men, 80 from colleges, not a few
ministers and general secretaries, doc
tors, lawyers, business men and
teachers.
DR.. F. r. Harris spoke of the work
done in the State during the last year
and thought the reports very encour-
aging. DR.. F. S. Harris told of plans
for new buildings going up and more
conservation in delegates. Mr.. J. P.
Watson spoke of the money needed. 1t
was estimated that $4,000 could be
well used in 1891, and the sum of SO, 600
was pledged on the spot by the Asso-
cations and delegates, $245 of which
was put down to the credit of our del
egates.
Messrs. D. w. Hardee, B. R. TAYLOR
and Z. l.. Cheatham spoke briefly oftheir
enjoyment Of the sessions. Mr.. j. r.
Young contrasted this convention with
three others he had attended. He
thought the spiritual interest mani
fest in the others lacking to some ex-
tent in this and thought the reason
was that the people of Durham were
so little in sympathy with the Associ-
alton.
Mr.. Diggs reported Henderson, part
in the convention as follows: Hen
derson furnished the retiring President
and the recording secretary, two
speakers for the convention. two leaders
OF meetings on Sunday. the chairman
ship for one of. the five important COM
mittees and membership on one other,
the largest delegation from a town as
; soclatlon, and fair proportion of the
money raised, being in point of four
times greater according to membership
than the average contributed.
Mr.. Ulrich gave some figures af the
growth OF the work as follows:
In 1857 the first association was Or
ganized in Wilmington, but it soon
died out. The first State convention
was held in Charlotte in 1877 with only
visiting delegates present. In 1891
the 18th convention-therew were 23S.
In 1888 at the State convention at
Raleigh the following figures were
given. By comparison with this years
figures the marvellous growth in three
years may be seen:

At the Atlanta session Of the [. T. q.
Mr.. Prescott was the principal author OF
the report on a plan Of reorganization,
which appeared in The Typographical
Journal of last February, and was high
ly praised. In addition to his duties in
the unions Of his own trade Mr.. Prescott
is also a member of the Single Tax club
and the Young Mems Liberal club and
very active worker in Excelsior Assem-
bly,, No. 2,30j. of the Knights of Labor.
He is unmarried and resides wits his
mother in Toronto, where he holds a
frame at present on The Evening News.
At the same convention Mr.. James
McKenna, of Union No. 6, New York
city, was chosen first vice president; L.
7. Rutter, of Duluth, second vice presi-
dent, and P. J. Weldon, of the Stereo-
typers' union of Chicago, third vice
president. A very high compliment was
then bestowed on Mr.. William S. Nc
Clevey by his unanimous reelection to
the place Of secretary treasurer-an Office
of very great responsibility.
William S. McClevey is a native Of
Chicago, and a member of Union No. 16
of that city. He was born March 90,
1859. His fathers home at that time
stood on the site now occupied by the
Chicago Evening Journal building His
father, Lieutenant Colonel McClevey, of
the Ninetieth Illinois, was well known
to the printers of Chicago, and his regi-
ment contained many old time printers,
number Of whom are still living, and
some of whom have represented No.
16 in the International Typographical
union. Mr.. McClevey's apprenticeship
was served at the jobbing branch of the
business, and from boyhood he was
noted for his industry and skill. AS a
journeyman he held positions of trust
and responsibility in prominent job Of
fees in Chicago. He was elected to rep
resent No. IS at the thirty-fifth session
of the International Typographical union
in Buffalo in 1897, when he was first
elected secretary treasurer. He was
again elected to represent Chicago union
at the thirty-siXth session in Kansas
City, and was reelected secretary-treas-
urer, which position he has since filed.
In regard to his work and methods as an
officer Of the International Typograph-
ical union little need here be said. His
monthly, quarterly and annual reports
speak for themselves.

SKETCHES OF TWO OF ITS MOST
PROMINENT MEN.

William B. Prescott, of Toronto. Elected
President by the Recent Convention at
Boston-WiIliam S. McCievey, of Chica-
20, Secretary Treasurer.
Mr.. William B. Prescott, elected presi-
dent Of the International Typographical
union at its recent convention IN Boston,
was born Dec. %, 1864, near Toronto,
Ont, in which city he still resides. In
1875 his father died and he soon after
began his apprenticeship in the Office of
The Presbyterian, Toronto. He Joined
the Toronto union, No. 81, in 1888, and
soon began to take an active part in its
councils. His clear judgment, executive
ability and devotion to the union and the
cause Of unionism in general soon made
him a noted man in the councils, and he
was made chairman OF the Toronto
World chapel.
In 1885 he was made chairman of the
general board of relief; the next year he
became recording secretary, and in 1889
he was unanimously elected president
of Toronto union, this being his third
year in that Office.
Other candidates for the presidency
of the International union were Messrs.
Marsene johnson, of Fort Worth,
Tex, and Samuel R. Freeman, of Biz
mingham, Ala. Last year Mr.. Prescott
had the honor of being unanimously
chosen by the Toronto union to repre-
sent it in the International, in which
President Plank appointed him on the
committee to revise the laws, work he
performed in manner that gave general

baptismal and professional title is DR..
Charles A. Eastman. His maternal
grandmother, though fullblooded
Sioux, was so handsome that she was
known among her people by a title
which might be translated Goddess.
His grandfather was a captain in the
United States army.
DR.. Eastman is thirty years old, and
after brief term at Beloit, Wis, was
graduated from Dartmouth with honors.
He was class orator and captain of the
football team, and won first medals in
several athletic pursuits. He is a fine
looking man, with just enough of the
Indian to show his origin, is practicing
physician, and viii continue in that pro-
fession at or near the Pine Ridge agency,
In South Dakota.
The bride and her sister, Dora Reed
Goodale, were early celebrated as prodi-
gies. They were born in Mount Wash
ington, Berkshire county, Mass, Elaine
on Oct 8, 1868, and Dora on Oct. %,
1866. Both began to make verses as
soon as they learned to write, at the
age of six; and when Elaine was but
twelve years old the two issued a small
paper for the entertainment Of the family
and friends. In 1877 selections from this
paper appeared in st. Nicholas for De-
cember, 1877. Elaine has since publish
ed "In Berkshire with the Flowers"
Q879), Oversees from Sky Farm" 1880,
and journal of a Farmers Daughter"
QS81), besides minor productions Jointly
with her sister. After teaching term
at the Hampton (Va.) school, she became
editor of the Indian department of The
Southern Workmen, then went to Da-
kota to teach the Sioux.

Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, is hard on
shoes, requiring a new pair every month.
Mr.. Reed, although quite stout, is a

his walk is stride. There is no hest
fancy about his step. His feet know just
what is expected of them and they do it.

HOW THE BUILDING WILL APPEAR.

portance and progress of st. Louis, were
delivered by leading citizens. Governor
Stannard commended the spirit ard gem
eral conduct of the people, which, he said,
proclaimed St Louis in the front rank of
American cities. He claimed there was
n greater community of interest among
the people than ever before felt, and a
commendable pride and growing aztec
ton for their beautiful city. Hon. James
o. Broadhead, in the course of an elo-
quent address. said the erection of the
new building was another step in the
march Of progress; another monument
50 the enterprise Of their people. The
Masonic ritual was used III laying the
