ST NICHOLAS for May presents very
tempting table of contents, beginning
with an imaginative poem. Morning"

work has been so cordially praised by
the critics. Nora Perry's Siege of
Calais" a ballad with striking illusua-
tions by Birch. will delight little stu
dents of history. who will also read the
second paper on THE Land of Pluck. -
by Mrs Dodge, with keen delight, sup
plemented as it is by two very interest
ing letters on Holland, in the letter. box
Department.
j. o Davidson, the marine artist,
has written and fully illustrated a short
serial of adventure entitled, Chan Ok, -
which describes the capture of noted
Chinese pirate of the present day; it is
based on fact, and, indeed, but a few
months ago a steamer was destroyed by
these piratical Chinese outlaws in the
very waters wherein the action is sup
posed to take place. The excellent SER
ials by Trow bridge and Noah Brooks
are continued.
The Departments, and the usual de-
lightful jlngles and pictures tucked in
between the longer stories and poems,
force one TO confess that ST NICOLAS

ouSly inserts small extra bits wherever

THE great labor disturbances predict
ed for the first of May did not matura-
lie to any great extent. A few local
demands and strikes were all that &c
cured in this country. while serious riots
by idle masses marked the day of both
Italy and France. American workmen
do not realize that they are by compare
son with the same grade of workers in
o.her countries favored class. Their
discomfort is all the more unaccountable
when it is considered that the agitators,
in almost every instance, were once part
of Europe's thriftless citizens and cast
ing longing eyes towards the American
Eldorado. Once here and able for the
first time in their lives to acquire little
property, they foment trouble as if to
demonstrate to themselves and TO the
world their independence.

A committee of railroad men have
issued a call for convention of railroad
men in this city. The call, which speaks
for itself, reads:
Whereas It has become evident that the
results of legislative measures introduced
would have been as follows:
First-To jeopardiZe our situation and
largely reduce our means of living.
SecOnd-To compel trainmen to work
more hours TO make a trip without addi-
tional pay for the same.
Third-TO deprive employees and their
families of passes (buI they were defeated
and failed of accomplishment. as well as
other measures of very serious moment to
the emplove; and
Whereas, A concerted attempt is to be
made to still further reduce the earnings of
railroad companies and their ability to hire
and pay for labor, by means of complaints to
state railway commissioners, and by other
methods; and
Whereas, Railway employees have found
out, if they don't look out for their own in
terests, nobody will.
Therefore, be it Resolved, That an earnest
invitation is hereby extended to all such en-
ployes organized or unOrganized, in the
state of Minnesota to co operate with us, and
meet in mass convention, which is hereby
called in st. Paul, on Thursday, Aug. q, 1891,
at 10 o clock in the forenoon.
1t is recommended that each organization,
each locality, or association select one or
more delegates to be present. in order that
the representation may be as large as posi-
bic from all places.
The questions to be considered are:
First-HOW can we best protect our right to
a fair days wages for a fair days work. as
well against all who deny our right as against
those who pretend to admit II but try to take
away the only fund from which our wages
can come-the earnings of railroads?
Second-Shall we be represented in future
hearings before the railway commissioners.

up the idea that they have good friends
living in Chicago that are anxious to
have them go on and spend week or
two with them during the worlds fair.
Be wise and independent, and remember
that if your Chicago friends have a room

NO BEER FOR INDIANS.
Despite Judge Bryant's Decision,
Noble Says Nay.


WASHINGTON, Aug. ga question
has arisen that is of interest to the
treasury. war and interior departments.
1t is. in substance, whether there is
anything in the existing laws to prevent
the sale of lager beer in the Indian Ter
ritOry. The only statute bearing on the
subject prohibits the Introduction of
.''ardent spirits" or ''SpirituouS liquors"
into the Indian country, and this, as
affects beer, has been differently con-
Strued by the judges having Jurisdiction
over the territory in question. One
judge having jurisdiction over limited
portion of the northern part of the ter
ritOry has decided that the sale of beer
within the territory is contrary
to law, but Judge Bryant, whose juris-
dictiOn covers the southern and major
part of the territory, has decided other
wise. Naturally the persons intending
to introduce the malt beverage into the
Indian Territory conduct all their trans
actions within the jurisdiction of the
judge known to be favorable to their
side of the case.
Acting Secretary Chandler, of the in
terror department, has had conference
with the commissioner of internal rev.
enue, with view to the prevention of
any more admission of beer into the In
dian country as violation OF the spirit
of the law against the introduction of
intoxicating liquors. and Secretary
Noble has instructed the commissioner
of Indian affairs to direct Agent Ben
net, of the Union Indian agency in the
Indian Territory, to seize all packages
of beer that may be shipped into the
Indian country and turn them over to
the United States marshal to be libelled,
as provided in the statutes. This action
was taken upon information that car
load of beer was about to be shipped to
McAlester, ChOctaw Nation.
