FEDERATION OF LABOR.

The bitter cold weather of last Tuesday
night dId not deter many delegates from at
tending the re-ular meeting Of the Fedora
tion OF Labor.
President McHugh called the meeting TO
order promptly at 7:3G clock. All officers
were present. and delegates from twenty-five
organizations answered to their names at
roll call.

Credentials from the Protective Street Rail-
way Union. were also received and accepted
This union is the new organization that re-
suited from the recent strike on the Metro
poitan railroad, and is composed OF progress
siye material.
The special committee on non-unIon horse
shoers doing the work for the Capital Brew
Ing Company and the firm of L. L. Jackson
q Co.. reported that 1t had made written
statement of the facts in the case TO the
brewing company, but had not yet received
any reply. In the Jackson case new SUPER
intendent had been appointed, and his views
on the situation had not yet been learned.
The legislative committee reported that q
hearing had been promised before the Senate
subcommittee on appropriations, but for
some reason or other the hearing had not
been given. The committee, however had
accomplished good work. for through the
kind services OF some OF the Senators the
statement and arguments of the committee
had been presented to the Senate which had
good effect, for an increase in the aDpropria-
tiOns for the schools had gone through. An
increase Of two assistant building inspectors
had been provided for and while the increase
of pay for the liremen had not been allowed
provision had been made to increase their
beneficial fund.
TIE special committee TO watch the District
bond issue reported that the bond question
had received q black eye. having been
knocked out on point OF order.
It was the opinion of the committee that
organized labor should exert every influence
TO iml ress upon Congress the urgent neces-
sity Of having all city improy ments done
under the direct supervision OF the District
government and by days labor, instead of
under the contract system, as is proposed.
and OF which the ''Lydecker tunnel is
monumental specimen.

pared in Architect Didden's Office for exten-
siFe improvements on a prominent business
building, and a committee WAS appointed to
secure the work for union labor.
Painters delegates reported satisfactory in
terview with Architect Didden. relative to the
painting on the Portner flats. Carpenters
delegates made same report.
Engineers called attention TO non-union
engineer al work on the flats.
The Bricklayers and Carpenters organiza-
Hons were requested TO demand union cards

Recording Secretary of the District Assembly.
Many competent secretaries are to be found
among the respective organizations of Wash
ington, hut none stands higher than Mr.
Charles T. Walport, the recording secretary
OF District Assembly, No. &C. Knights of
Labor.
As faithful chronicler of proceedings he
is certainly entitled to be called the banner
secretary Of the District of Columbia. Mr.
Walport is an expert penman. and his books
are models of neatness and comprehensive
ness. Not surplus word is used and not
one word OF explanation is necessary.
He has filed his present position in the
District for about five years, and has also
been in corresponding position in the
Painters Assembly for the past nine years.
Quiet and unassuming in character, he has
gained the esteem of all who know him, and
it is safe to say he can retain his present posi-
tions as long as he desires them.
Mr.. Walport is native of the State of
Michigan. but has resided in Washington for
a number OF years.

falo was no longer possible. 1t is, indeed. a
pity that the once famous old company.
which has existed for half century or more,
should now be Obliged to dissolve. Old Buf-
faionians remember with pride the time when
the red coats and bearskin caps were always
to be seen IN professions and in the forefront
o all patriotic demonstrations. For many
years Company d never missed q parade on
Washington's birthday, no matter what sort
OF weather prevailed. But the TACT

OF which has been vastly improved, under
the fostering care OF the State. No new inie-
pendent military companies are formed, but

The first monthly battalion drill and parade
of the Fifth Battalion took place on last Fri
day evening, and was by far tho best forma-
tion which this organization has taken part
in. A close atteation to drills, the book, and
proper supervision, Will lead to a standard in
the performance OF duty very close to perfec-
ton.

Tee battalion was then formed correctly and
turned over to the ma or without error.
Companies were then equalized, and bat
talon was formed for drill, the commands
being transmitted by bugle, after which the
companies were dismissed, when, without ex-

permission from the major for iurther COM

uncle In addition to that, another uncle of Miss Sloane's, Cornelius Van derbilt, has leased the Bacon cottage at Lenox. Then MT. and Mrs. James Abercrombie Burden, parents of the groom, and millionaires both have taken the fine Eddy cottage for the season, and their affairs in honor of the ap- preaching event are beyond description. Miss Sloane herself drives out daily in her famous four-in-hand drag. The fair girl is an expert with the whip, in addition to being an expert in archery and a devotee of all outdoor sports. Miss Sloane much resembles her moth CT, who is member of the famed Nor ris family, of Baltimore. One of the married sisters of this lady is Mrs, Richard Irwin, who resides here, and another who lives in Paris is Mrs. Griswold Gray, who made her home in New York prior to her widowhood. MT. Burden is an aunt of Mrs Fred erick Gebhard Her son, the groom, is still q student.

A mere list of the people who will attend-and there will be guests by the train load-would read like the cream of the income tax lists. Mir. William Douglas Sloane has al- ready made arrangements to have two hundred wedding guests accommodated at Curtis hotel alone. A vestibuled train will bring up the New York guests the day before the wedding Cornelius Vanderbilt and his entire family; George Vanderbilt, the brides bachelor uncle; Mir. and Mrs. F. ". Vanderbilt, who, alas, have no children; Dr. Seward Webb, the whole Shepard contingent, and the H. Mex. Twom- bleys will complete the Vanderbilt dele gation. That is, of course, excepting the Willie K. Yanderbilts. Nobody knows exactly how the Willie K s will be disposed of. They have certainly asked him, and he was supposed to go with his daughter Consuelo, but that young lady will not go without her mamma, and her mamma was not asked. That, at least, is the way the gossips put it. Little Harold s. Van derbilt is to be a page, and Willie K, Jr., is to be there at any rate. But If Mrs. Ava Vanderbilt were there and

The body is covered with tulle edged with satin and trimmed be- fore and behind with two tulle braces embroidered with black spangles and crystal pearls. On the right shoulder is bunch of roses of various shades. The back part of the skirt is covered with straw-colored tu11e, cut at inter- vals with straw-colored satin, on the cross.
 Then there is dress for garden party. This dress is of white pique, with brocaded pattern of green and black, giving the effect of pompadour material. The skirt is plain. The body is in three plaits behind. In front one

 However, leaving the Vanderbilt contingent, and taking a look at the others, there will be Mir. and Mrs. Orme Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor, MT.

". put those who THE OBJECT LESSON have had opportunities of observing her in New York do not think it likely that she will give up her work to marry anyone. She loves her cause far more ardently than she loves love. There has been much speculation as to her motive in leaving the country so sud denly. She explains it by alluding to the coming Worlds Temperance con gress in London. Miss Willard objects to the dime museum methods of cer- tain temperance workers in the me- tropolis. There was delirium tremens object lesson given by one of the or ganizations she visited. 1t consisted of representations of snakes, serpents, monsters and various crustaceans visi- ble to the victim of drink. Not few topers had attacks of the malady as result of looking at those exhibits. Miss Willard frowned upon the enterprise, and was rather dislilsed by its origina- tors for doing so. But, alls things con- sidered, this lady is the most popular temperance worker in the country.

assume a very se-

rious aspect. The truth seems to be that MT. Sage is beginning to feel the weight of years. He never was a very strong man physically, and he caught quite a cold in the clustering weeks of March, from which he suffered long time. The injuries which he received at the time of the bomb explosion in his office were also of serious eharac- ter, although not much has been said of them since, except in connection with the man Laidlaw. Mr. Sage takes a great deal more care of him. self than formerly, frequently staying at home and indulging in such unwont- ed luxuries as an easy chair, Q cheery glass and a visit from his doctor. There is talk, too, of some religious interests aroused in the mind of Mir. Sage as his earthly career hears it's end. He has already contributed money to the building of country church.

Spring Makes Me Tired

it makes pure, rich blood. It gives strength to nerves and muscles because it endows the blood with new powers of nourishment. It creates an appetite, tones and strengthens the stomach and digestive organs, and thus builds up the whole system and prepares it to meet the change to warmer weather.
 Hoods sarsaparilla is medicine upon which you may depend. It is the only true blood purifier prom- inently before the public eye to-day, It has a record of cures unequaled in the history of medicine. It is hemedi- cine of which so many people write, "Hood's Sarsaparilla does all that it is claimed to do.n You can take Hoods sarsaparilla with the confident expectation that it will give you pure blood and renewed health.

large plait in the middle, showing 8 shot taffeta founce, accordion plaited on each side. The sleeves are of the same taffeta plaited, cut in the middle by double crest of accordion taffeta plaited.
 Another object of interest is small cape of crepon, not coming below the waist. It is of lavender crepcn, in point before and behind, forming large and wide godets over the shoulders. It is trimmed all round with small ruche of shot taffeta. In front it forms d sort of draped shawl, stopping at the waist, where it is confined by large satin bow. The neck is trimmed with shot taffeta, with large white satin bow behind.
 The brides wedding dress was made by Worth, or, rather by his sons. It is of heavy satin, ivory colored, trimmed with point lace, thirteen inches wide, Bretonne pattern. The train is round, and eleven feet long. The gown is lined throughout with heavy satin, fashioned at the bottom with lace ruff fles, trimmed with bows of satin rib DOhs A ldi iSS QldDCly AOWo ONCA tiiC bodice. The sleeves are exceptionally wide, very full at the top, and taken in at the underpart, buttoning closely over the waist. The bodice of the gown fastens at the back, under roll of satin and two bows of lace. The bridal veil is of very rare old lace, fastened at the crown of the head with bunch of orange blossoms.
 Turning to less important things, it may be mentioned that this young woman and this young man are very much in love. The match was first suggested over q year ago, but the fond pair have been compelled to wait until time could prove the fidelity and strength of an eternal attachment, as they say in old-fashioned story books. Time having proved the same, all is well. The brides dowry will be cool million-why is million always cool? and the bridegroom inherits another cool million from his grandmother, be- sides which are numerous millionaire uncles and aunts, and veritable frigid expanse of cool millions in all direc- tions.
 All in all, it will be the wedding of the year. We Americans may feel proud of the fact that the wedding Of the year is to be so strictly American an affair. To their credit be it said the weddings of the Vanderbilts always are

To many people Spring and its duties mean an aching head, tired limbs, and throbbing nerves. Just as the m1lder weather comes, the strength begins to wane and "that tired feeling" is the complaint of all.
 The reason for this condition is found in the deficient quality of the blood. During the winter, owing to various causes, the blood becomes loaded with impurities and loses its richness and vitality. Consequently, as soon sa the bracing effect of cold air is lost, there is languor and lack ot energy. The cure will be found in purifying and enriching the blood.
 Hoods Sarsapari11a is the greatest and best spring medicine because it is the greatest and best blood purifier It overcones that tired feeling because
