He Found One Man,

Captain John Miller tells a,good story
about himself in connection with his trip
TO the Chicago convention, While on
route he thought he would feel the pub
lie pulse along the road, SO at the yari-
ous stopping places he got out on the
rear platform and made short speeches
in favor of Senator Hill. The name of
Hill did not arouse the slightest enthu-
siasm, greatly to the surprise Of Captain
Miller, who before leaving Washington
had an idea that the Democrats of the
country were hungry for Hills nomina-
ton. Not a hand was clapped In re-
spoRse to Captain Miller's eloquence un-
til the train reached a little town out in
Ohio. There one man in the crowd APP
plauded the name Of Hill quite yigor-
ously Captain Miller paused in his
speech, jumped off the train and rushed
up to the man, saying:
''My dear friend, am glad to know
that there is one man out in this God
forsaken country who appreciates the
name Of Hill T
!, ~ don't belong here, replied the man.
m came out on the train with you, Cap
tain Jack"
That put an end to Captain Miller's
electioneering for Senator Hill, -Wash-
ington Post.

''No, sir, said a prominent physician
recently; 'Im not getting anything like
the amount Of work that / ought to have
at this time Of year. Bless me, I had
only one new case all Of last week. The
reason2 Why, cholera, Of course. The
big cities are In better condition now
than they have been in years probably
better than they ever were, 0ld cess
pools and vaults have been closed up,
sewers cleaned, cellars dried and white
washed and plumbing oVerhauled, and
that has knocked out the usual crop of
diphtheria and typhoid disorders. Then,
people became more careful in their eat
ing and living than they had been before
the Normannia got in, and the result of
it all is that they have stopped getting III
and sending for physicians. Tho cholera
was splendid thing for the cities, but /

The tweed suit that Wilkie Collins
purchased in Philadelphia as he passed
through the city SO many years ago is
still here. The novelist by accident
ruined one that he brought over with
him BY spilling broth over it and stepped
across Chestnut street to invest in q
new one before returning to his hotel
Collins instructed the tailor to send the
spoiled one to his rooms, and when he
gave his name the clothier said, "Are
you the authorof NO Name and 'Arma-
daleT Wilkie had to own mp, and the
tailor was overcome with pleasure, an
nouncing that he was the most sincere
adnlirer of Collins in America. I'M
fortunately the suit was not a good fit,
but the novelist had too much delicacy
to acquaint his sincere admirer with the
fact So the garments were relegated

remained over a generation, Philadel-

Chicago and employed a master car.

When the Pioneer was finished it had
cost the extraordinary sum of $4,000, a

beauty of the finish and the marvellous
innovation he had made were advertised

THE JOINT BUILDING PLUMBING.

Resolutions Against Giving the Contract
to Non-Union shops.
1t is understood that the contract for
the plumbing, gas and steam fitting at
the joint city and county building will be
let by Contractor Bowman today, and the
following resolutions in the matter have
been adopted by the federated trades and
plumbers union:
Whereas. It is one OF the chief aims and OBJ
Jects of organized labor to advance the interests
and elevate the laboring classes aud the bust
ness interests of the community; and as the
past history OF the Federated Trades OF this
city is such that we as q Trades Assembly can
point with pride to its action on all questions
of interest 10 the general public; ana as in all
work OF public nature we believe that organ
lied labor alone, as II alone acts upon all public
questions, should be recognized.
Now, therefore. be 1t resolved that we the
Plumbers, Gas and Steam Filters Union No.
10 of Salt Lake, and we the Federated Trades
ana Labor Council of Salt Lake city assembled,
ing, gas and steam fitting of the city and county
building being let TO the following
named non-union shops, viz; r. Morris
son and the Salt Lake Hardware
company, and would respectfully request the
contractors of this building not to consider bids
from these shops; and we believe that the city
and county officials well as the business com
munity as whole, will sustain and support US
in this request
And be II further resolved, that we the Trades
assembled having full confidence in the contrac-
tors from the utterances and past standing of
these contractors towards organized labor that
our request will be granted, leave the matter in
| their hands with entire confidence.

Marshal's Removal.
He Is Accused of Sending an Ex-Convict
to Work on the BulIion-Beck-
Condition of the Trades

There was very large attendance at
the meeting of the Federated Trades last
evening. One Of the first matters
brought up was the action of the

miners strike at Eureka, and the follow
ing resolutions were adopted, after con-
siderable discussion:
Whereas. the United States marshal is an
ofncer appointed by the president OF the United
States for the purpose OF prese rVing the peace
in the territory to which he is appointed, aud
Whereas there being at present certain
disagreement between the miners union OF
Eureka and the mine owners OF the Billion
BeclE and Champion mine, and
Whereas, United States Marshal Benton
sent an eX-convict to said mine owners as q
person TO be relied upon, constituting himself
an employment agency for said mine owners,
and by his action, inviting rupture OF the
peace OF said community. therefore, be it
Resolved, That said United States marshal,
l. A. Benton, has OverStepped the limit OF his
authority in thus recommending an ex-convict,
who has served at least two terms in prison. to
said Bullion Beck and Champion Mining COM
pany, uSurping the right OF an employment Of
fee and causing bitter feeling to exist in the
town OF Eureka, therefore be it further
Resolved, That by SO doing, he cannot exc
cute the law in an impartial manner, as by his
oath he has sworn TO do, and is not lit to longer
hold the position OF which he has by his action
violated the oath thereof,
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be
sent to the president OF the United States, a
copy furnished each Of the daily papers, and q
copy laid before the Utah Federated Trades ana
Labor council for their approval in censuring
the conduct and action OF United States Mar
shall Benton.

ing at the city and county building were

resolutions appear elsewhere in this
