The committee reported through the
Rev. L. ID. Anderson. who stated that it
recommended that the Social union de-
fer action on the establish nent Of a new
Baptist church in Ward Seven. The
recommendation was adopted.

Friendship Street Baptist church has de-
cided TO sell its eiifice and erect a new

This action meets the approval of ali
parties concerned.

university, Waterville, Me-, a graduate
or Brown university, was introduc d as
the speaker OF the evening. President
Whitman announced his subject as "The
Message of Young People to the Present
Age" and among other things said:
In my Judgment it is not hard to tell
why the young people are playing such
an important parC TO-DAY. There is in
the spirit OF youth a fitness for the tasks
TO be performed.
On tie part of youth there is a judg-
ment of character which compels respect.
There is on the part of youth power.

The significant thing of all is the
boundless faith in self. In God which
makes youth so prominent at this time.
Along with the enthusiasm OF the age
there has gone along an almosS bound
less pessimistic feeling. We fall into
fashions and follow fads.
My impression Is that our dispo sition
Is largely what we make it. La the me :

1t is just as well to keep these things
in mind. If, as this paper suspected
from the first, the lone Chinaman Of the
other day was a missionary spying out
the land for some one a great deal more
powerful than himself, we have not
heard the last of his visit, and the way
he was treated here. 1t was illegal and
unwarranted to put him in Jail and
search his person, and these proceedings
show the utter lawlessncss of the whole
business. An outrage on a poor, help
less Mongolian, or even his serious in
jury or death, may be insignificant, but,
as the Rev. Mr.. Reid pointed out in his
sermon, "the injury done to the cause of
justice is not insignificant"
This Chinese question is a serious one,
and one which is liable to create grave
complications before long. 1t will be
well for all who are interested to goslow,
as great troubles sometimes arise from
small causes.

A COMMITTEE from the various trades
unions of the city has been delegated to
inquire into the views of the several po-
litical committees respecting candidates
for city offices in the approaching cam
paign. 1t seems to be the sense of the
unions, and very properly, too, that only
good. clean, and competent men ought
to be nominated for any city office. In
the unions political matters are never
discussed, and the method adopted to
make known the purpose of working
men to support only such candidates as
are above ~reproach, without regard to
party, is an excellent and timely one. In
this way the unions can, with perfect
propriety, make themselves a power in
the selection of public officials and a ter

of wind when moving with high We

miles an hour the pressure of air in mo.

to 100 miles per hour its force rises to
the equivalent of 49.2 pounds to the

One of the finest issues of a daily
newspaper ever brought out is the spec
ial anniversary number of the Chicago
Inter Ocean Of March %, the 2lst birth
day of this great newspaper. 1t contains
sixty pages of reading matter and a1ver,
Using and a twelve page supplement in
colors, every line of which is clearly and
beautifully printed. The history of the
inter Ocean is the history of Chicago,
and it is a worthy representative and
mouthpiece of the one city Of earth
which has made a record for growth and
development the like of which was never
before known. Under the editorship of
VIM. Penn Nixon the Inter Ocean has
gained steadily in character and iutiu-
ence. and it stands today as one Of the
really great newspapers of the world.
Mr.. Kohlsaat, the publisher, is enter,
prising and progressive, sparing neither
expense nor trouble to secure the best
talent in every department, and insist,
ing always upon absolute perfection in
all that pertains to the mechanical work
of his splendid paper. Though republi-
can in politics the Inter Ocean is always
just and fair and it deservedly has the
respect of the country.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.

Advertising Was Discussed in All Its
H:ranchcs-Ion Newspapers Best.
When the board Of trade convened at
the water company's office at 1 o'clock
yesterday, President Harris was in the
chair and several members were present.
More than the usual interest was mani
tested on the subject of advertising the
city, and a proposition for an adver-
tisement in THE TRIBUNE was referred
to the advertising committee, of which
DR.. Sweat is chairman. Remarks were
made on the subject by Messrs. Wood
bury, King, Rolfe, and others. In sup
port Of the proposition that advertising
in the local newspapers was the best
possible method for the city, l.. G..
Phelps, who had charge of the disburse
ment Of the great Helena fund of a few
years back. said that the only kind OF
advertising matter the outside world
seemed to care for was that appearing in
the home papers, as they were sure that
it must be closer to the facts than any
other.
p. Kelly and L. G.. Phelps were ap-
pointed a committee to open up COM
munication with the agents of the
Waldenses, the entire community that
c~ontemplates moving to this country
from Switzerland.
Mr.. Woodbury., chairman of the execu-
tive committee, reported that the com
mittee had employed J. q. Jones as sec
rotary of the board for one month at
500. His office will be in the Water
company's office in the Tod building,
where he can be seen during regular
office hours each day.
Orange Perry, publisher of the Mon
tana Farmer of this city, presented sam
pie copies of his first issue, and made a
proposition to mail copies to farmers in
the east which was referred to the adver-
Using committee.
The board rendered a vote Of thanks
to G. II. Wright, ex-secretary, for his
long and faithful services TO the board
without compensation.

All-FOOls Day.

From a time long beyond the memory
of the ''oldest inhabitant," the first day
of April has been deemed to give license
for practical jokes to any extent. In
the middle ages and down to the latter
part of the eighteenth century, the
peasantry Of Europe celebrated All
Fools day by gathering in some church,
choosing a bishop or archbishop, or pope
of fools, and performing such burlesques
on religious ceremonies al would now
be thought highly improper, if not scarf
legious. 1t is said there is a fool born
into the world every minute, and the
literature of all centuries Is sprinkled
with illusions to them. Carlyle said
the population Of Great Britain was
thirty million people, mostly FOOLS
This was dyspepsia run mad-but
almost all persons are foolish about
some things. Sometimes it does not
make any important difference, but
there are matters in which it is fatal tc

is the selection of a railroad when you

JOE JEFFERSON, the actor who became
famous through his impersonation of
Strip Van ,Winkle," is a personal friend
of President Cleveland and it is said he
will be given a foreign appointment. Re
ferring to the matter, the Boston Adj
v~ertiser says: There is a precedent for
such a selection in the first half of the
century. John Howard Payne, whose
Home, Sweet Home will keep his name
alive while the English language lives,
was for 20 years a well known actor,
manager and playwright, and then left
theatrical life to become American ON
sui at runis in 1871. He occupied that
position until his death in 1852. His
stage career was as successful as that Of
Jefferson, both in England and America,
and he was esteemed in his private life
in much the same tanner. Therefore,
if the consular or diplomatic service
should be honored by the accession of
Mr.. jefferson, it would be quite in the
line of tradition, and would furnish an
additional incentive to the bright young
men of the stage"

Railroad Employees Who Tried to
Start n Strike Dismissed.

Railroad Employees who Tried to
start a Strike Dismissed.
The fact has just leaked out that a short
time ago there came near being u strike of
some Importance among the conductors and
gripmen Of the WASHINGTON and George
town railroad. Several men lost their po-
sitions on the grip-cars, and the strike was
averted. 1t is also to be noticed that now
the streets are called as they are crossed.
and the cars stop long enough for passen-
gers to get on and off in safety.
AS the story goes, President Dunlop. az
ter he took charge of the ioal, made up
his mind that the rules which had been
adopted by the directors when the road
was begun should be more rigidly obeyed
than they had been. In tl.is h was not
altogether successful. and several weeks
ago he issued a circular "a the superintend-
ent to be posted up at each end Of the line,
calling the attention Of the men TO the
rules.
They did not like this very much, it is
said, and for time were rather lax in call
ing on streets and stopping sufficient
length of time. One day while riding home
on grip car President Dunlop noticed
that the gripman was derelict in these
matters, and the next morning coming
down to the power house, he observed the
same state Of affairs. Roth men were sum-
moned to headquarters. and had a rather
unpleasant quarter of an t.uIr. Later two
grlpmen started to work to organize a
labor union among the men. and consti-
tuted themselves walking Delegates, trying,
1t Is stated, to work up a strike Eoth men
lost their positions with the road, am, the
strike failed to be a subject Of interest 1t
Is said that there were no new rules niade
but simply it was ordered that the rules
