Gov. AltgeId Invited, But Mayor
Swift Refused Permission to
Speak.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-American Fedora
ton of Labor delegates refused today to
permit Mayor Swift to address them.
There was considerable opposition to
the action on the ground that mas
much as Gov. Altgeld had been invited
to speak, the same courtesy should be
extended to Mr. Swift.
BY vote of the convention 1t was
decided that the executive council has
not the power to settle disputes among
local organizations. 1t was then an
nounced that the afternoon session
would lie devoted to the election of
officers. A strong fight was expected,
as john Mcbride, of the Ohio miners
union, was candidate for President
Gompers' place, and John l.. Lincoln, of
Chicago, was prominently mentioned as
successor to Secretary Chris Evans.
President GomperS. In all interview,
said that there was nothing in the claim
made by some of the delegates that the
invitation to Gov. Altgeld was conces-
sion to the anarchistic element of the
federation. and made because the gov
erhor had pardoned the anarchists.
d eIegate Tommy" Morgan, Of Chicago,
was or different opinion. He said 4:
'Gov. AItgeld's case was made an eX-
ception. 1t is true that the reason he
was invited was because he pardoned
the anarchists"
| Late III the day, however. the gov
ernor sent word that he would be un.
able to address the meeting. The cleo.
/ ton of officers will be held tom orrow

woMAN's LAND SYNDICATE.
Receiver Asked for a Chicago
Land Company.

CHICAGO. Dec. 15.-Mrs. E. J. Grey,
a receiver and an accounting against
the Woman's Land Syndicate of Chi
cago. The bill relates that the syndi-
cate was organized in 1892 by Mrs. r.
A. Emmons, Mrs. j. E. Hobbs. wife
of James B. Hobbs. president of
the Commercial Loan and Trust COM
pany, of Chicago, and Rev. Henrietta
&. Moore, all of whom are made defend
ants to the bill. Under the name of the
syndicate, the bill says. the defendants
extensively advertised that they had
purchased 1000 lots in the town of
South Waukegan for $3.50 per lot.
Bonds TO the number of $4,000 of the
denomination of $40 each were then is
sued, and representations, 1t is charged,
were made to the purchasers of the
bonds that as fast as the money should
he received from the sale of the bonds
the 1000 lots. Then, after the bonds
were sold. the lots were to be placed on
the market. aud the purchasers of the
bonds were to be repaid the amount of
money they had paid in. and the profits
made on the sale of the lots would be
equally divided between 1.-The Woman's
Land syndicate and the bondholders."
The bill fatty declares that the Won
ans Land syndicate was a scheme de-
yised for the purpose of enriching the
defendants by cheating innocent women
through the influence OF persons widely
known to be prominent in temperance
and religious circles. Calvin Dickey
and James II. Hobbs are alss accused of
having received large sums of money
from the syndicate, Dickey's share be-
ing put at $4,000. Hobbs some time
ago made some bitter enemies in the
Women's Christian Temperance union
by denouncing the management OF the
woman's temple in Chicago.

THEY WILL BUY THAT LOT
Ia Spite of the Mayors Technical
Objections.

"What are you going to do about that
mistake in describing the engine rouse
lot i'll the Twelfth Ward?' Aid. Rollins
was asked yesterday.
s "DO about il? why, correct the mis-
take and put the resolution through
again." answered the alderman. 1.-The
fact that another party offers lot for
$500 cuts no figure when you take into
consideration that it would cost over
$500 to lay water main from Lake
street to supply an engine house on the
lot in question, which is some 800 or
400 feet north of Lake street. On
the other hand, the lot which
the fire committee selected as the most
desirable site for an engine house, and
which the council has contracted to
purchase for $1,000, is not more than
eighty feet south of Lake street. and
could be supplied with water from the
Lake street main at a trlf1ing cost. No,
sir. The city has obligated itself to
buy that lot, even though there was a
mistake in the description, and the
mayor will find that he cannot accom-
plish anything by taking advantage of a
technicality."
The mayor refused to make any state
ment, further than to repeat that the
error invalidated the resolution. When
told that is would cost $500 to supply
water to the property off cred by Hay
wood & Boshart the mayor laughed,
and asked:
"How much will it cost to furnish
water for the other lot?''

FINANCIAL REVIEW.
Inactivity Has Keigaed in the
Stock Market All Week.


New YORK, Dec. 15.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say: In
activity of the most pronounced kind
continued 10 reign in the stock market.
The speculative public and the large
class of professional operators seem to
be waiting for the outcome of pending
currency and tariff legislation. The
unfavorable condition of railroad traffic
ana the heavy decreases in current
earnings tend to create bearish senti-
ment in regard to the future OF prices,
though the plethora of money and
low interest rates still constitute
barrier to liquidation or to the
success of manipulative attacks
on values. The shipment to Europe
81, ZOO, 900 gold-was also without effect.
the arrangement by which certain New
York banks will supply the specie re-
quired by exporters Obviating any fear
of further reduction of the treasury gold
reserve. Under the circumstances. the
smaller traders have found the, market
at once too narrow and too firm for
raids on the bear side. and too responsive
for any upward movement of prices
Public inquiry is still limited to bonds
of the best grades. but commission
houses are idle, and Europe's participa-
ton has been exceedingly light. though
the foreign element seem, on the whole,
! to have bought tritie more than was
sold for that account. The volume of
transactions on the stock exchange has
fallen to low ebb. and the absence of
real business would appear to exercise
a depressing influence upon the temper
of the street.

everybody calls him, is one OF the best
known BARRIERS In town. During his
career he has made the reputation rs
mug manipulation of having shaved
more notable people, including crowned
and uncrowned bald heads, than any
man in the Western hemisphere. In
the salad days of Phil Scheig. when he
and the Floyd boys had on their high
rolling skates, no one could impart that
polished finish to shave SO well as
Nj ck, and his magnetic seafoam could
Danish the effects of a jag sooner than
all the frappes or gin fixes In exist
ence. 1t was natural that when Phil
went into involuntary retirement he
should want TO see his old friend; and.
being in need of shave, he sent for
him. Nick was admitted to the cell,
and the big iron door was closed against
him; but at first he did not realize that
he was securely shut off from all the
rest of the world.
After treating the prisoner to an easy
shave, and enjoying visit in which the
good old days were recounted. Nick
started to go, as he had already re-
manned away over the allotted time
from The shop. Then 1t was he realized

then yelled, and then beat on the iron
doors with tin pan. This attracted the
attention of Matron Paine, and upon
her arrival Nick demanded to be let out
instanter, and seeing that Mrs. Paine
took no stock in his story, he kept it up
by commanding her to at once summon
the judge and jury who convicted him.
She ran down stairs and told Jailor
Bradley that one of the prisoners had
gone crazy ana threatened to tear down
the jail. SEEING an AK and other i'm
plementS several of the attendants
rushed up stairs. when the situation was
realized, and the now really Indignant
barber was permitted to take his de-
parture in peace. And maybe he didn't

CONDUCTORS HAPPY
at the Results of Worlds Fair
TraVei-Two RanOucts


The passenger conductors of the Twin
Cities are arranging for their annual
banQuetS, which this year will be of
especial significance, it being the in
iention to make them in the character
of general celebration in commemora-
ton of the happy outcome OF the worlds
fair travel. In speaking of the subject
yesterday, a veteran conductor running
between Minneapolis and Chicago said
chat there had never been such
good luck known as attend
ed all of the roads leading
eastward last summer. While the
country was Mortified by terrible disas-
tiers In the eastern and middle states,
and mostly in connection with world s
fair travel, not a single accident oc-
Cured on any of the lines leading from
the Twin Cities to Chicago.
"All of our lines said the conductor
in question, "have played in good luck,
and with the thousands of people carried
10 one was hurt, not wheel was off
the track. and not even a car was
scratched"
In view of the above facts it is no
wonder that the conductors feel happy,
and they have good cause to celebrate.
The annua! banquet of St. Paul Division
No. 40 will take place tomorrow even
ing, and the banquet of Minneapolis
Division No. III will take place week
from tomorrow.

Tracy, Mimi. Dec. 15.-Some little
discussion among the "unco guild" has
been stirred up lately on the dancing
question. Prof. Lee Smith gave school,
entertainment at the opera house in
which dancing played conspicuous
part-the exhibition of heel culture be- :
ing more prominent than that of the
head. Instead of closing the hall at the
end of the entertainment, as ordered by
the school board, he permitted an i'm
promptu dancing party to De held. One
citizen arose in the midst OF the enter
ia 'nment and left the house. A school
meeting was called to decide whether
or not the performance should be per-
nj ted to be repeated. and it was decided
to let it go on.

THERE WILL BE FREE SOUP,
''Holt or No Holt" Says the Chief
of Police,

Secretary Holt, of the Associated
Charities. protests against the free
soup scheme put in operation at the
central police station, as an encourage
ment to tramps and loafers. But the
police do not agree with Mr.. Holt, for
the reason that the great majority of
the dodgers are not trainps. Chief of
Police Smith SAID when spoken to about
Mr.. Hollis objections:
"Holt or no Holt. those men will
sleep oh the boards at the station all
night, and we will give them a bowl of
hot soup in the morning, that they may
have something in their famished stom-
achs. II is good as crime preventive if
nothing else. AS to there being few
deserving ones among the dodgers it is
very easy to tell workingman from a
tramp, no matter how they may be
dressed, and we have found large pro-
portion of them deserving and glad to
work if they could only get the
chance"

week, says the Miller. The mills never

OUTPUT for the first three months on the
new crop having never before been
eQualed. The output for the calendar
year will probably aggregate 9,20U, 600

seems but reasonable to expect 100000
barrels more to be turned out during
December.
