THE CONVENTION CITY
Great Year for Conventions--rh Ger
man Population Preparing for
Grand Event

Grand Event.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 2s-There are more
conventions held in St. Louis in a year
than there are held in any OTHER city in
the country. This is the result Of the
central position of the city; It's excel
lent railway facilities, and the reputa-
ton it has made at times of national
political conventions, Knights Temp
lars conclavcs and Grand Army en-
campments for comfortably taking
caro- of big crowds. The hotel men do
not raise their rates here, nor make
three sleep in u bed when the town
finds it has to provide for a hundred
thousand people. Tho national con-
vention Of tho Knights OF Labor
was the largest gathering of the
kind that has been held here
this year Several more arc coming.
The builders are making arrangements
to entertain their National convention,
which meets here next month and will
bring about five thousand men to the
city who are interested financially in
tho trades concerned with building;
the National Association Of Electro
clans will be here after that, drawn
hero by the city's leading position with
respect to electrical interests; and still
later, the National Association of Ger
man Veterans will hold their reunion
here. All of these associations will be
accommodated by the hotels now opcE.
Three great hotels arc being built, but
none OF them will be finished till the
fall
The German citizens OF st. Louis
are going to make this m exceptional
year in the way Of celebrations. There
are two score singing societies here,
and nearly thirty Of them will go to
the National Saengerfest ut Cleveland,
taking over five thousand members
with Them. These Saengerfests de-
pend largely on the St Louis contin-
gent for their success, MS tho choruses
from here are all well drilled and am
bilious At the beginning OF fall,
just before the festivities OF the city
commence, German Day will be cele-
brated by great national show OF
professions and music. This patriotic
celebration is generally one Of the
most attractive sights Of the year in
ST. Louis 1t is carried out without
regard to expense. and the street
pageant is n sp-c,arle cSccllcd only by

There Is n railway switchmnn here
who five years ago was at work in the

bare living. The great Southwestern
strike came, and he struck with the
rest Of the men. While the strike
lasted he spent most OF his time In his
room, inventing u device TO close the
frog Of n switch 80 that men could not
catch their feet In II. When the strike
was over he went around trying to
sell his invention TO rally hys. but
none Of them would try It. lie was
discouraged. when two years ago the
Missouri Legislature passed u law
compelling ali railways to pre- tect the
lives OF their employees by Onrding
the frogs In some way. A market for
tho switehman's invention was opened
at once. lie is now living In u house
that could be sold for $50. 900 any day,
and last Sunday he was driving In the
parks, with the rest Of the gay crowd,
behind two horses that went by every
body else on the boulevard with ease.

Frs OF LIBERTY.
Ladies' Who mmemorate the American
Revolution.
Sa,ecinl to The .Lersen CYtn Mems

Special to The Jersey City Ne,rs
M~oRRIsTowN, June 5, 1893.-m Morris
town, last Saturday afternoon, the New
Jersey Branch OF the Daughters of the
American Revolution met in general
meeting. Westinghouse famous head
quarters were thronged, and the old man
sion was as gay as in days Of yore. And
then, again, a daintily served lunch was in
happy contrast to the tales of old time
privations which the patriots endured, and
the d~elicacies of the menue well befitted a
private house.
The meeeing was opened by the State
Bright. This was followed by a paper
read by Mrs. w. II. Cutler, a member Of
the Washington Association, which met
with great appreciation, and as a critiq1te
upon W~ashington's home life in Norris
town and of the citizens of the place, it is
indeed a valuable contribution to State
history. Mrs. S. B. Linard. the historian
of the State Society, read her first chapter
of the New Jersey branch, with the reasons
which called the organization into being.
Introduced with a beautiful tribute to
New Jersey and the place she occupied in
Revolutionary annals, she lauded her sons
and particularly her daughters who strove
for liberty, a liberty to which Mrs. Linard
paid this lasting tribute:
This beautiful flower was liberty
springing up everywhere from the fertile
soil hitherto tilled to its uttermost yield
ing. to pay tribute to the Crown of mighty
England. It's inspiring odor breathe sweet
in the nostrils of every man woman and
child throughout the length and breadth
of the land until they longed for it, fought
for it, pluckcd it and wore it." 1t was not
the rich who desired the Revolution, Sc
cure as they were in plenty, but those who
more nearly had the good Of their country
at heart. 1t is to perpetuate this spirit and
the records of our ancestors that t e
daughters of the American Revolution
was organized. Mrs. Linard then traced
with care and fuIlness, the genesis OF the
| society and its development into a power
