Mr.. Tucker is president of the New York

in this way. On Monday evening the
builders will visit the New York Trade
school at First avenue and Sixty-eighth
street. There will be general sightseeing
at all available hours on Tuesday. The
biggest theatre party ever given in
New York will occur on Wednesday
evening. The committee on arrange
ments has made. a bargain for II whole
theatre-one of>the Broadway houses--and
they will run it to suit themselves. The
regular attraction will be given but special
gags will be introduced, and a gag COM
eral weeks. 1t is a pity that the general
public will not be permitted to discover
what sort of a gag can be turned out by the
rules governing bricklayinR and masonry.
Handsomely engraved invitations and
gorgeous souvenir programmes will also be
included in the list of special attractions.
The house will be decorated for the occas-
ion.
Thursday evening will witness the grand
banquet in Lenox Lyceum. 1t is a spacious
hall, but the services of expert designers
have been required to solve the problem OF
getting in seats enough. On Friday the
whole party will be taken to Philadelphia
by special train. The trip will be under the
direction of the New Workers, but the en-
t~ertainment in the Quaker city will be il
charge of the local exchange.

A paragraph from the associations decla-
ration of principles may be interesting as

indicating to the sociologist whether any
form of arbitration is likely to be recon-

l. This association af1irms that absolute
personal independence of the individual to
work or not to work, to employ or not to
employ, is n fundamental principle which
should never be questioned or assailed;
that upon it depends the security of our
whole social fabric and business prosperity,
and that employers and workmen should be
equally interested in it's defense and preser-
walton. While upholding this principle as
an essential safeguard for all concerned,
this association would appeal to employers
in the building trades to recognize that
there are many opportunities for good In
associations of workmen; and, while con-
demning and opposing improper action up
on their part, they should aid and assist
them in all Just and honorable purposes.
That WHILE upon fundamental principles,

The National Association of Builders
holds its fifth annual convention in New
York beginning Feb. 8. The meeting is no
table because of the representative men
who will be called together, the important
questions which will be discussed, and the
widespread interest in the decisions to be
reached.
First, as to the men. The association
was organized in 1885. The delegates to its

from those actively engaged in building
work. 1t has been in existence only a year
and a half, but is already an assured sue

but discussions Upon subjects relating to

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.

The Banners comments on electric
lights have been universally discuss
ed in the city. The very fact that
when you see crowd congregated,
improvements for the city and the
ways and means to get them are
being discussed, argues that the
time is opportune flor BRENNAN
to secure some much needed i'm
provements that would make Bren-
ham one of the brightest Jewels in
the realm of Texas Her star is in
the ascendeney, and stands out in
bold relief as a beacon light inviting
our people to awake from a state of
lethrgy and indifference to the i'm
portance of her necessities, to the
Importance of securing the few
things now that would start her on
a glorious future towards the dawn
of an era when she might lead the
van in the sisterhood Of Texas cities.
The question of electric Light and
an artesian we'll are the first consid-
erations, and are being discussed in
connection with the approaching
city election. A new board of alder
men are soon to be elected, and it is
safe to say from the expressions of
public opinion, that the new board
will be progressive one, f2yoring
these improvements. But under
the present city charter the city
could not issue bonds for these i'm
provements without having it amend
ed, and just here, our people should

securing them is not taken during

A Reunion.

The marriage of Mr.. Frederick
Meyer and Miss Minnie Hauhelt, of
this city Tuesday night by Justice
Curry was a reunion of the lives
and destinies of q couple who some
two years age severed by due course
of law the marriage ties that had
previously bound them, the young
lady securing q divorce and assum-
ing her maiden name. Since they
drifted apart Mr.. Meyer has been out
TO California and returning to this

expiring spark of love was rekin-
died, and resulted in the second

Moore, says on the subject, that

forever still the once warm heart
that throbbed with naught save love
and charity, but green in their
hearts will live her blessed memory
and 1t may be from that bright
spirit land will be waited back an
