TOUCHING SCENE.
Boy Dies in His Mothers Arms at
aDrue Store.

George Hoffman, the eleven-year-old
son of George L. Hoffman, living at 2O6
West Third street, died suddenly last
evening at the drug store of S. Ii.
Reeves, at Seven corners. The boy,
accompanied by his sister thirteen years
old, left home at 5 O'clock to attend a
Christmas entertainment. The family
live on Third street almost opposite the
drug store, and while crossing the
street George fell to the pavement. He
was carried by passing pedestrian
into the drug store and DR.. BrImhall
called. His parents were also sum-
moned, but despite all that medical aid
could do he lived but short time. The
scene was touching one, as the lad,
resting in his mothers arms and gasp
ing for breath, murmured, Mamma,
know Pm going to die" and. as his
breath grew shorter, his arms clasped
his mothers neck the tighter. Deputy
Coroner Xanten was called and the
body taken to Gross q Dohm's under
taking rooms, where an autopsy will be
held this morning. The lad has been
suffering from an affection of the heart
for years. but for the past six months
had greatly improved, and yesterday
seemed in the best of health. The
physicians say death was undoubtedly
due to heart failure.

Masked Men Took His Gold Watch
and Some Cash.
The "hold up" boys celebrated
Christmas eve the same as other people,
ana yesterday the police were notified
of a couple of tricks turned by one Of
the numerous gangs of the city. Mrs.
Griffith, living at 425 Van Buren, street,
while returning from neighboring
grocery Sunday night at 8 O'Clock, was
stopped by three men who commanded
her to turn over what cash she had.
Mrs. Griffith fortunately had but a
nickel. and this she quickly handed
over TO the thugs. She was so badly
scared by the thieves that she was I'M
able to give very accurate description
of them.
Two hours later August Ellinghous,
living at $50 Como avenue, was assaulted
by three masked men at the corner of
Como and Rice street, and, after being
slugged, was robbed of a gold watch
and chain valued at SIS. and 81 Ill cash.
EllinghouS describes the gang as two
short men anC tall one.

An elderly woman giving her name
as Mrs. j. c. Smith. was taken from the
union depot yesterday morning to the
central police station suffering from
temporary insanity. Mrs. Smith lives
at Spokane, WASH. and was on her
way to Hunt!ey. ILL.,, to visit friends.
She became deranged on the train and
escaped at a station between Spokane
and st. Paul, but was found and sent to
st. Paul. When she arrived at the
uniondepot yesterday morning she was
so bad that it was decided best to take
her into custody. DR.. Hanley was called
to the station and had the woman sent
to the county Jail. Her husband. who
is mine superintendent in Spokane,
was notified by wire OF his wife's con-
dition.
Shortly after IL o'clock last evening,

Mrs. Smith had taken a dose of NOR
phlne from bottle she had concealed
on her person. DR.. Ancker was sum-

CHRISTMAS MIsHAPs.

Ola Santa Claus Sets a Tree on
Fire.
Christmas is a peculiar day in more
senses than one. 1t is full of many ex-
perences of every shade and variety
Some are sad, it is true: most are merry,
and very respectable proportion are
decidedly funny. Yesterday morning.
just before the rise of the sun. an event
happened on Hague avenue which had
both serious as well as a comic side.
The fond father of family arose
"a county officer, by the way)
clad only in his robe de
mutt. and thought to delight
the hearts of his little ones by lighting
up for them their Christmas tree. Tall.
erect and proud the evergreen stood,
covered with wax tapers, tinSel and the
glittering baubles which so delight the
children. The match was struck and
;he tapers lighted. For one brief mo-
ment the tree was Illuminated, and its
beauties revealed to the little ones clus-
terlng around. But alas for the frailtv
of their hopes. A twig caught fire and
the whole tree was soon in flames. The
head of the house acted promptly, and,
Selling the tree. rushed quickly out of
doors and began waving the blazing
limb deXterously through the air and
whipping it up and down in the snow.
To the few neighbors whose eyes
greeted the unwonted sight, the scene
was weird and exceedingly funny. In
less than five minutes the fire was
eXtinguished. The front yard was
covered with the banbles, and the
impression made on observers by that
man waving the burning tree VIII not
soon be forgotten.

This Morning Institute Civil
Proceedings Against the Twin
City Rapid Transit Company;r-
He Will Not Permit the Law
to Be Defied. 99i &

During the recent street car lockout
there was considerable talk to the effect
that the Twin City Rapid Transit conf
pany was violating the "personal-lib-
erty law passed last winter by the Leg
islature.- This law was passed with "a
view of reaching the company men
toned, as it.was claimed then that the
company was requiring men to sign
agreements not to join unions in caseiof
employment by it. During the street
car trouble last summer it was claimed
that the new men engaged to work for
the company were questioned as to their
belonging to union or their intention
to join any labor union. There was a
great amount of discussion in labor
circles at the time in the direction of
enforcing the law, or at least to test its
validity and application. No action
was taken until recently the matter was
brought to the attention of Labor Com
missioner Powers, who has determined
upon appealing to the courts in the
matter, or at least on lending his sup
port to persons who will make Informal
ton of violations. 1t is expected that
attorney today with view of testing
the law which imposes az fine OF 500 for
violating its provisions. There are said
to be many instances of refusing en-
ployment to men who would not agree
to eschew unions, and test case will
be commenced, and in case of success
many others will follow.
The vestibulng case will also be
prosecuted against Superintendent Hos
kins. and in case the law requiring cars
to be vcstibuled is upheld by the courts
several hundred more cases will follow
1t is claimed that several cases for
each day since the law became
operative, on November l last, have
been noted Oh the several lines of the
street railway in this city and will be
ready for prosecution in case the
courts sustain the conStitutionality
of the law as to vestibuling cars.
1t is claimed by Labor Commissioner
Powers that the street railway company.
promised to comply with the law, and
place enclosures on the front of the
electric cars in this city,: 1t is expected
that the company will fulfill this prom
Use, but the delay i'll so doing led TO the
commencement of the proceedings
against Mir. Hoskins, which have been
adjourned for week in the municipal
court. This case, as we'll as the pros
ceedings under the personal liberty"
law, will be watched with interest by
all.and especially In union labor circles.

LABOR UNIONS.
Forty of Them in st. Paul, All
Active Workers.


There are over forty union labor or
CARNATIONS in this city, and they keep
up an interest in their meetings, not
withstanding the fact that they have no
general agitation on hand as to matters
that they regard as the handspring of
their organization. 1t is true that they
are not pleased with the tendency TO
lower wages considerably, but they
realize that it is time when many are
willing to work for mere pittance to
keep the wolf from the door, and that it
would not be wise to agitate the matter.
The attendance at the meetings for the
past few months has not fallen OFT, not
outstanding the fact that moth
ing but routine business has been
transacted. The men discuss the
situation in philosophical way
and hoping FOR better times cheer each
other as much as they can by con5ola-
ton. With the beginning of the year
the organizations will be placed in the
hands of new sets of officers and the
unions will go on with the, work of edu-
cation. The working people of st. Paul
are intelligent as a class, and take phIlo-
sophical and reasonable views on the
matters affecting the relations Of en-
ployeI and employe. it is to their
credit that it can truthfully be said that
they have been reasonable in their re-
quests for concessions from employers.
The conferences between the capitalists
and laborers on questions of differences
have generally been conducted with
fairness on both sides, and usually have
ended with amity and good feeling.
