TRADES ASSEMBLY.

The trade and labor assembly met Fri
day night with every union fully rep
esented. P. j. O'Donnell and J. Well
leux were admitted as new delegates.
The newly elected officers were duly
installed and the assembly settled down
to business. The reports showed PLAIN
" that this Is the season OF the year
when there is a general dizziness in:
trade. The following report was made,
Printers, fair; cigarmakers, steady; tin
clerks, fair; painters, dull; carpenters,
dull; bakers, dull; tailOrs. dull; walters,
fair; bricklayers, dull; hOrseshoers,
fair; stonecntters. slow; machine and
wood workers. fair; wood carverS, fair:
BARRIERS, good; paper hangers, fair;
plasterers, dull; lithogr aphers, good.
The st. Cloud reformatOry was the
subject of an animated discussion. The
delegates from the st. Cloud assembly
stated that the granite industry is yet
in its infancy, but is in fair way to be
entirely destroyed. Outside capitalists
refuse to invest their money while the
state of Minnesota invests its money in
the business. The stone from the re-
formatory Is sold at any price Supt.
Myers can get. The plan not only takes
away opportunities for labor from free
men and citizens, but is endangering
the business interests of st. Cloud as
well. The citizens of that city would be
willing to have stone cut there to be
used in building prisons and reforma-
tories in the state. Then other classes
of work could be introduced without
following resolutions were adopted
unanimously:
Whereas The present system of disposing
of the products of the st. Cloud refornatory
is causing an injustice to the free labor of
the state. inasmuch as the management en-
deavors to dispose of stone cut at The reform.
atory to contractors at prices below those at
which free labor can compete, be it resolved,
that the trade and labor assembly Of st. Paul
heartily Endorses the bill now before the leg
islatuIe providing that no stone quarried at
the st. Cloud refOrmatory shall be sold In the
open market, and that sandstone shall only
be used OH public buildings built by the state.
Resolved, further. That we would respect
fully call the attention of the proper authori-
ties to the fact that the labor organizations
of st. Paul have never given their indorse
ment to any system OF competition with free
labor, as indicated in the report OF the sup
erintendent of the st. Cloud reformatory,
and, also
Resolved That we do not concur with the
conclusion arrived at in the report as relat-
ing to the filling of our penal institutions as
a solution OF the convict question.
The following standing committees
were appointed: Organization. Cas-

The sensation caused by the charge of
cheating at cards made against Sir
William g. Gordon Cumming at table
where the Prince of Wales was present
calls attention to the fact that such
charges are becoming very frequent
among the British aristocracy. Not
alone are charges of cheating made, but
they are very generally believed and
sometimes proved to be true. Sir W. G.
Gordon-Cumming' suit for libel against
his two defamers is likely to be settled
out of court by an abject apology and a
statement of the facts differing in many
material points from that which has
already been published. but the scandal
caused by the making of such a
charge and the recriminations it has
brought about will take long
time to be removed. The desperate

enough to make up school, some one
would send out invitations to the peo-
pie to meet at some central point on
certain day provided with axes and
other tools for the purpose of building
school house. The parties invited were
sure TO attend or if they could not,

were felled, from which logs were
taken; these were hauled to the
point agreed upon, and building
went up as if by magic. The entire
job was completed in few days. Some
public spirited man would go around

would be employed and the education
of the rising generation would begin.

public schools, of course far better in
nearly every particular, recalls the cost

EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

The shoemakers' assembly met Thurs
day evening and installed the recently
elected officers with appropriate cere-
monies. A discussion of trade matters
showed that all the shoe factories are
running full time, with prospects of a
good season.
The painters union met Tuesday
evening and discussed the system of
quarterly due cards, which is now so
popular in Eastern cities. The plan is
to haye all building trades unions agree
to adopt uniform plan of paying dues
three months in advance, thus making
sure of being able to draw the line be-
tween union men and scabs. An effort
Will be made to have all departments
unioniZed, so that non-union men will
find it neither profitable OF comfortable
to stay outside their respective unions.

turns up later on in the story. Two
days passed without any unpleasant
ness, but on the third the trouble over
the cards occurred. Next morning the
hostess received news of the death of
her only brother, and the house party
was broken up. The prince went to
York, where he put up at the quarters
of his son, the Duke of Clarence, at the
