The Dempsey Fund.

Secretary Hochstetter, OF District As
sembly No 3, X. OF L., has received sew
eral letters from ex-Master Workman
Dempsey from Riverside penitentiary
relative to the disposition OF a portion OF
the fund that was raised for his defense.
1t seems that about So, 900 was raised by
the Knights OF Labor and all but a few
hundred dollars OF this amount was paid
to the lawyers. Dempsey now writes
and wants TO know what was done with
the money. He directs that IL be paid
to the lawyers, as he says was intended
at the time the collection was made.
Mr.. Hochstetter says DempseV's wish
es will mo- be regarded when II comes
TO disposing OF the money, and his as
sumption to direct how the money shall
be used is resented. Mr.. Hochstetter
said yesterday that Dempsey's wife and
Mrs. Beatty have been paid a portion Of
the money.

Work On 1t Commenced at Pittsburg'
The first work in preparing a wage
scale for the Amalgamated Association
to present to the manufacturers was
done Friday. The wage committee be-
gan its conference in the morning in
the association rooms at Pittsburg, and
held a long session. There are two
committees at work; one represented
the iron workers and the other the
steel workers. The committees are COM
posed of delegates or representatives OF
the various lodges in the district. 1t Is
the annual meeting at which q wage
scale is formed to be presented to the
the association convention. Here the
wage equestion gets another thorough
discussion, and is subject to such modi-
ications as the majority may desire.
At the meeting OF the wage commit
tee the scale is usually prepared from
the suggestions OF the lodges repre-
sented. 1t Is understood this year, al
though all the meetings OF the commit
tee are secret, that the lodges are very
conservative and are not asking many
changes. The present year is consid-
cred a most important one by the iron
and steel workers, as there is adivision
in their own ranks. If any radical
changes are made there will be two
scales for the manufacturers to consider
the Amalgamated and the National
FinisherS.
The scale which the Finishers adopt
ed is the same as the manufacturers are
now running under. 1t is thought that
the Finishers' scale will be utilized by
some mills to bring their work within
the magic circle Of unionism as a means
to obtain the long-talked-oi reduction
in the pudding OF iron. There is moth
ing regulating the price OF pudding in
the Flnishers' scale, so, although these
mills might be in a sense union mills,
yet the price paid for pudding would
be discretionary with the manufacturer.
No trouble is anticipated by persons
who seem to know, as they think there
will be no material change in the scale
now being formulated. The manufac-
turers have not placed themselves in a
hostile position this year with the asso-
citation, so it is more than probable that
everything will be harmonious.

A Splendid show Given Under Trying
circumstances.
Despite the sudden hot wave that
swooped down upon US yesterday and
made men ardent advocates Of dress
reform that would bar all but a necktie
and a straw hat, the Opera House last
evening held a good sized audience,
which thoroughly appreciated Mr..
Frank Hennig's rendition OF the most
difficult character in Shakespeare.
Mr.. Hennig's Hamlet" shows close
and careful study, aud the young actor
well earned the unstinted applause he
received. He was splendidly supported
bV Miss Emma Naders, whose "Ophe-
Tia" Is beautiful and touching. Her
schooling with Edwin Booth, whose
leading support she was, is evidenced
In her delicate appreciation Of the char
acter oil the unfortunate maid.
Mr.. Hennig's support throughout was
EXCELLENT.

ALarxe Crowd Attracted to the Open Air
Concert
The first OF the series Of fortnlGhtly
open concerts given free Of charge oY
Mayors brass band, took place last
night at the Public Square. The band
was stationed on the veraDda on the
second door, a point which made 1t pos
sible for everybody within 3 radius OF a
block TO hear the excellent music which
way played.
On account OF the tearing up OF the
.fagstoneS on the square, there was no
place for listeners but on the curoS, in
the street, and on the opposite sidewalk.
Most Of the crowd assembled on the
west sidewalk, and at different times
during the evening there were probably
two thousand people present. The first
concert may b said to have beent sde-
cided success.
