NO LONGER A LABOR ORGAN
Tn" Tri.City Congress Repudiate 8
the Rock Islander as the Official
Paper of the Producing Glasses.

The secretary of the Tri-City Labor
congress has submitted the following to
the ARGUS for publication:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Rork
Islander, paper heretofore published in
the interest of farmers and laboring PEG l.,
pie of this vicinity, to desert its friends,
who have labored necessarily for its well
fare and prosperity, by advocating old
party politics, and to severely criticise
the labor movement, we members of the
Tri-City Labor congress do
Resolve, That the Rock Islander by its
advocacy of old party politics and de
sertion of its former position has caused
1t to lose the confidence formerly reposed
in it by the producing classes and their
friends, and that we declare it no longer
the official organ of this congress.
Resolved further, That we send a
copy of these resolutions to the Rock
Islander and other papers in the Tri'
Cities, and to the subordinate unions of
this congress.

of supposing that was the only man
in the party who knew syllogism
from personal pronoun. For three
successive evenings aired my college
learning while my compan ions sat in a
circle oaround me and chewed tough
beef or smoked plug tobacco. Then
they concluded that they had had
about enough of Aristophanes, Pytha-
goras, and the philosophy of the Peri
patetics. and they proceeded to wind
me up. The next morning the boss
gave me my orders in Greek, the cook
asked me in choice Latin whether /
would take sap or syrup on my slap

In the last five minutes of the play
we are treated to the spectacle of q
naval parade, which tells us why the
piece was so named. To anybody but q
landlubber the spectacle of ship on
the stage is always depressing. But
this was little worse than usual. To
see the U. S. S. Chicago sail in on badly
creased rollers, with sailor sitting
straddle Of the bowsprit and curling up
his feet in order that they may not drag
in the briny, is too much like casting
ridicule on the flag. Admiral Walkers

merit it nearly equals the production in
which Lillian Lewis is appearing, and

has taken paris green.
However, it is ungracious for me to
kick about the tendencies of the drama.

We are running to extremes The
farce-comedy of the new season has

If the tailors who at one time pur-

more for the purposes of the dramatic

shot on sight by every other character
in the piece and drops dead whenever
he can find six feet of space not pre-
viously occupied by the corpses on the
stage.

that the action, like that of many of our
principal navy officers, goes on entirely
upon the land. went to see it from
motives of pure patriotism. In cam
paign times, when half our common
country is engaged in calling the other

incidents of "The White Squadron
The curtain rises ON the peaceful par
Tor Of a young Brazilian lady. We
learn from a few hurried words that
Emperor Dom Pedro is going to be

Harcourt appears for a few minutes,
and it is well to look at him closely,
for it is the last time that we shall see
him alive. He appears upon the stage
often after that, but he is always

better be numbered with the slain.

Corean Hospitality,

In the matter of hospitality we might
learn many fine points from the Cor
cans, who appear, from the following
story, to keep alive the ancient notion
that nothing should be too good for the
stranger within their gates. When Adj
miral Shufeldt went TO the Hermit Ma
tion to arrange for a treaty, Miss Shu-
feldt missed valuable bracelet. the
theft of which was duly reported to the
proper authorities. Suspicion rested on
two natives, who were taken before the
tribunal and subjected to rigorous ex-
animation. The officials found that no
discriminating evidence could be OBJ
tanned against the suspected culprits,
and informed Miss Shufeldt of the fact,
but added. in a spirit of courtesy. that
'if Madam wishes. however, we will az
once cut off the heads of both men. -

down in revers in front. A big ruff of
peach-colored chiffon, of a much deeper
shade than the front, was tied around
the neck. The sleeves reached only to
the elbow, terminating with falling
ruffles of pink chiffon; the long gloves
were just off white. She made glad
some picture, and it was good to look
upon her.
A New Coat from Paris.-It is long,
fully halfway down, and is made of
Russian green cloth Of light texture.
The back is plain; the front turns back
in revers, covered closely with rows of
mohair galloon laid crosswise, and cut
in points at the outer edge to form a
scallop. Where the revers stop the
scallop is continued down the front.
The revers make very high collar,
and the coat stands apart considerably
in front. more than last years style did.
Do you want to make beautiful
cape effect out of your feather boa?
Or rather from two feather boas. unless
the one you have is extremely long.
Well, then, let it hang little at one
side; then bring it forward to the mid
die of the waist and up one side of the
front; then around the neck and down
on the other side. Then pass it through
the band at the waist and bring it all
around again. If the boa is full you
will find this covers the whole front of
the dress, leaving only a long dis
played. If you have delicate chiffon
front in your gown, and your boa is
black, the effect is very beautiful Of
course there's nothing at the back but
the two rows at the neck, which must
be kept high to form an imposing col
lar.
There are some beautiful new silks
and satins for evening dresses to be Sc
cured just at present. 1t will be some
weeks, to be sure, before we shall think
very seriously of new evening gowns,
but it's well to know what will be the
thing A rumor says young girls will
wear black velvet, bat surely most of
them will cling to the dainty colors and
shining silks. Most of the new satins
and all that saw were satins-were
