GREAT FALLS. April 20.-About - men
assembled at the parlors Of the Ulm
house this afternoon to take measures
towards organizing a chamber OF COM
mcrcc. This action grows out Of opposi-
ton TO the present board of trade regard
ing matters of public interest. Finally
an adjournment was taken after tho APP
pointment of a committee 10 confer with
the board OF trade officials with a view of
Strengthening out matters to tho satisfac-
ton OF all parties concerned.
While in Helena Monday. an cnterpris-
ing teamster invested u dollar IN STAND
ARDS. These he brought to Great Falls.
aud although the paper was several days
old, he quickly disposed of tho lot for %
cents each, realizing 81 on his investment.
The man has gone back to Helena and
says he will return in few days with n
Balm wagon loaded with STANDNRDs, even
If they are week old.

try Of the United States annually. In dis
cussing the effect of the tariff for revenue
only and labor. he said the people who labor
with their hands control the destinies OF
the country and that its future would be
what they would make 1t. No statesman
could afford, by reducing the price OF
labor, TO reduce the condition of the labor
ing class 10 that of the laborers in the
countries of Europe. Dolph pointed TO
the rejoicing IN England over President
Cleveland's FREQ trade message, the Mills
bill and the Wilson bill. lie said the
question TO he determined by this con-
gress is whether We shalt legislate in the
interest of the people of England, Europe

THE CONDITION OF TRADE.
Strikes and Labor Troubles Have Thrown
sixty Thousand Men Out of Work

sixty thousand Men Out Of Work.
NEW YORK, April 2o.-Bradstreet's re-
view OF trade tomorrow will say: With
the exception of the prospect for still
further extension of strikes and other
labor disturbances, no plainly retarding
influence is mauifesting itself. So far as
learned there are about % additional
strikes involving % 900 people. This brings
the total number of those now on strike,
or idle because of strikes, up to 6O,0O0.
The week also furnishes IL shut downs of
important industrial establishments, :, more
than offset by the resumption of S2 others
which furnish employment to 5000 opera
tives, although seven important establish
ments announce reductions in wages.
The widely heralded announcement that
10000 coal miners will strike to-day has
occasioned uneasiness among the manu-
facturers at many central. western and
eastern cities, owing to the prospective
scarcity of fuel. The cities along the line
of the Great Northern railroad, which road
is now at standstill because Of the
strikes of the employees, are finding their
reduced volumes OF business still further
curtailed. and AT Chicago labor. troubles
are seriously affecting the building trades.

PATRIOTS DAY.
A Celebration That Aroused the Enthus-
iasm of Thousands

CoNCoRD, Mass, April 20.-All day Con.
cord and Lexington have shared honors
m this, the first celebration of Patriot day
as legal holiday, much in the same man
ner as they did ll9 years ago when the
first revolutionary struggle was fought
and won here. The celebration began at
sunrise with n 81 gun salute by tho Con-
cord Independent battery. When this was
over, sham battle between company I
OF Concord and tho Concord independent
battery as American minute men, and
companies Il aud ID of F!tchburg and OF
Boston as British guards, took place at
the old north bridge at IL o'clock. Many
thousands of spectators had gathered. At
Lexington the days festivities were cen.
tered around two events, the great mass
meeting ia the old Hancock Congrega.
tIonal church facing the common, which
was addressed by ex-Governor Robinson,
and In tho afternoon the gathering in the
town hall in honor of the governor and
members of his staff, where many patr-
otic speeches were made.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
A Shabby Mans HIT OF Sentiment About
q Horse shoe.

One OF the busiest places in town Is the
main thoroughfaro of big wholesale
house. Large numbers Of brisk young
men are running about with their hands
full of iluticFing papers; there are desks
on one side and little Offices on the other;
from these offices come the sounds of
droning diciation and the rat-a-tat-tat OF
typc-writing machines.
The stranger finds himself In n maze
and the safest thing for him to do Is 10 70
To the desk nearest the door aud ask for
guidance.
This is what tho shabby man did. Ho
took of his hat as no came in the front
door and edged about uneasily until he
caught the eye OF the young man mt the
information desk, and then he asked for
the head of the firm. The young man re-
garded him closely, but he was SO meek
and answered the:lookiwith such calm
eye that the young man said: "All
right" and led the way back to n private
office.
The head OF the flrm was at his desk
when the shabby man entered. Tho
latter had taken from his side pocket
something wrapped in newspaper and
