LABOR STILL CONSiD ERING
Whether or Not to Put a Ticket in
the Field.

the fIeIu.
The united labor people, who are in
tereSAng themselves in politics and
trying to see what can be done to put
Tull or partial ticket in the field, held
another meeting yesterday afternoon at
Labor hall. The representatives of the
socialists and the Populists were not
present at yesterdays meeting. The
session lasted until after q o'clock and
was behind closed doors. Those attend
ing would not disclose what was said
pro and con at the meeting.
A committee was appointed to give
out such information as they desired
the public to know. Their statement
was that the committee which had been
comforting with the socialists and the
PupulistS made a report that was dis
cuSsed. The meeting then form ulated
plan which they would submit to
mass meeting, to be held at Labor hall
Thursday evening. The PopuiSts
aud socialists are invited to he present
at the mass meeting. The object of this
meeting is to determine what action

lance to the mass meeting will be upon

books showing the parties to be in good
standing in their respective organlZa-
tons.
1t was learned that some of the men
have claimed thai only partial ticket
should be nominated, while others favor
putting full city ticket in the field.
Those Oh the inside. when asked as to
what will be done, say they do not know
and it Is hard to tell how far the move
ment may go when it gets started.

DRINK TRAFFIC.

And Labor Crusaders Course
Grows in interest.
The attraction at the meeting of the
Crusaders Total Abstinence society
yesterday afternoon was a paper upon
1.-The Drink Traffic and Labor" by j.
A. Waters. He discussed the matter
fully. and produced carefully prepared
estimates showing that about nine
tenths of the entire drink bill of the
country is paid by people receiving an
annual salary OF less than $1,000 year.
and that SO far as the laborers in t he
cities are concerned they spend two
thirds of all they earn in liquor. The
labor of those engaged in the liquor
traffic IS unproductiye In the sense that
turning a griadstone with 10 use made
OF its motion is unproductive labor.
But even if productive, it is bad from
la5orer's point of view. One hundred
dollars expended for hardware gives
labor twelve days work in the manu-
factories, but Si00 expended for lilo uor
only gives to manufacturing labor six
tenths of one days work. The paper
was one OF the most interesting read
this season and lively discussion fol-
lowed. This was opened 10y T. P.
O'Connor. whose remarks were to the
point.

EASTER IN NEW YORK.
Old Trinity Thronged With a
Happy Crowd.

Happy Crowd.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Easter, usual
ly accompanied by sunshine, was ush-
cred in with fog and clouds. 1t was not
day for the exhibition of new spring
dresses and millinery, but the incense
of flowers was everywhere, and sweet
music pealed from the churches. Elab-
crate programmes had been prepared in
all the churches, notably st. Patrick's
cathedral, Trinity. st. Paul's. ST.
Thomas, st. Andrews, st. Francis
Xavier's and the First Central and West
Presbyterian churches.
The temples of worship on Fifth ave-
hue were. as usual, the center of attrac-
ton, and the parade on that thorough
fare to and from service was the grand
procession it always is. st. Patrick's
cathedral was packed to the doors. The
decorations were gorgeous and the music
surpassed, perhaps, anything that had
been heard before in the great edifice.
The parishioners, that they might not
be crowded out by strangers, were given
tickets. and the throng that came filled
up the aisles and the vestibules and
stretched to the street.
Solemn pontfical mass was ceIe.
brated at II O'Clock by Archbishop Cor
rigan. The chorus was composed of 100
voices, and beside there was chanceI
choir Of ninety boys. The programme
included selections from Gounod, Hem

PROFIT TO CHICAGO.
Proceedings Against Gas Trust q
Benefit to the City.

CUICAGo, March 25.-The quo war
rantO proceedings against the gas trust
here may possibly result in profit Ito
the city and advantage to the consum-
ers of gas in Chicago. IL the present
proceedings be successful the city gov
ment will. it is said on good authority,
take up the franchises of the companies
concerned aud operate the plants. A
careful study of the situation demon
strates that the city can supply gas to
consumers at the rate of 80 cents per
LOCO feet, and. after paying all ex-
penseS. including interest on bonds,
make profit of $4,000 900 year. After
gaining possession of the franchises the
city will protect the bondholders, and
will redeem bonds annually to the
amount of S1,000,000 for twenty years,
at the expiration of which time all
bonds will have been redeemed. The
remaining S1.0o0,000 Of the profits will
be used as sinking fund Either this
programme Will be carried out or the
affairs of the combination will be placed
in the hands of receiver, to be named
by the city, until such time as the
bonds shall all be taken up.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The police of
the East One Hundred and Twenty
sixth street station think they have I'M
earthed swindle by which some shrewd
crooks in this city have managed to get
money from people in other towns. On

Goodwin. of 46 West One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street. New York, offered
two Columbia bicycles for sale for Sl35.
John Mooney. Uf Boston, answered the
advertisement, and received a reply
from REV" George Goodwin, in which
the writer said that the bicycles had
been given to him and his wife by his
congregation. He had suffered from a
rupture, aud wanted to sell the bicycles
quietly. To pay the costs of transror-
tatlon Mr.. Mooney was asked to send
rival of the bicycles i'll Boston. Mr..
Mooney sent the money, but never
heard from REV" Mr.. Goodwin again.
He then sent the letter he had received
from Goodwin to his brother, c. w.
Mooney, of 1863 St Nicholas avenue,
New York, asking him TO call on Mr..
Goodwin. MIR. Mooney found that
Goodwin's address, Dc West One Hun

POtlatchss.

New York Herald.
From the breezy West a new slang
phrase has come to town. When a man
turns himself loose, treats everybody he
meets, squanders his money with
hangers-on and the dissolute, and, in
fact, has regular debauch. he is said
to be ''giying potlatch." The term
originates among the Indians of the
Pacific coast where, when a brave is
in bad odoy. he turns all his property
into meat and drink and asks the tribe
ruptcy. but renewed popularity. This
sort of banquet is called a "potlatch."

One OF the marvelS of the times is
why lun was not made on the Bank

Scheig, the assistant cashier, absconded
after stealing $4,000. and the cashier
committed suicide. ALI this occurred
at time when some of the best banks
in the country were going down before
frightened deposltors. The fact that
no raid was made OIL the bank indicates
that the people of Minneapolis have
