The Musical Programme.

There was large attendance at the
Industrial far on Saturday evening to be
present at the formal opening which had
been postponed from Wednesday eve
ming. The crowd was larger than on any
of the previous evenings, in consequence
of which the book girls and those in
charge of the various booths were kept
busy. Sbor ly after o'clock Mayor
McConochie, City Clerk Koehler and the
members of the city council were escorted
into the hall by Bleuer's band and few
moments later President T. A. Pender,
of the Industrial Home association, in
troduced the mayor who made the open
ing address. He began BY congra talat-
ing the members of the association on
their untiring zeal and perseveran ce in
carrying on the work of so laudable an
enterprise which when completed will
add so materially to the city's wealth and
prosperity, and stand as monument to
the Industry and good taste of the united
labor in this community. He then spoke
of the establishment of the home as one
of the most important steps eyer taken
by the workingmen in Rock Island, and
which speaks volumes for their enter
prise and business capacity, after which
he reviewed the condition of working
men in past years and called his hearers
attention to the advancement made by the
laboring man in the past IS years. Mr..
McConochie then spoke OF the gradual
forming of the two distinct classes tod az
in this country and the tendency of the
young men of our time to seek for more
genteel employment, saying that already
in some localities honest toll is couside
cred as degrading. and the utter aversion
of the young man Of the period for any
employment in which physical exer;ion
is required. In this" said the speaker,

and at the conclusion of his speech a
