BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL

The semi monthly meeting OF the Building
Trades Council was held last Tuesday
evening at the Typographical Temple.
President O'Brien was in the chair and
representatives from nine building trades
were in attendance. During the even
ing a committee representing the Steam
and Hot Water Filters applied for admis-
sion. After conference with the council
committee the matter was laid over till
next meeting and in the meantime re-
ferred to the Plumbers Association for
their consideration. Reports were had
from Eiseman Bros. job also from the
Catholic University.
Communication was received from the
Carpenters Council, sustaining the Brick
LAYERS in the course pursued by them
with reference to Kernan's theater.
The President called attention 10 the
Bureau OF Labor literature that had been
established at 1924 F street
Cornice Workers called attention to
the fatal accident whereby two of their
members lost their lives. The council ex-
pressed sympathy for the unfortunate
mems families. The council also expressed
a desire that proper steps be taken to
secure a law providing for the proper
erection of scaffolds in this city. The
election of officers for the ensuing term
was fixed for the next meeting when it
is hoped full delegations will be present.

RInnIn prS I'm the Huh

Yesterday evening man and woman on
bicycles whiZzed along Columbus avenue.
The street was lively with returning clubs
and struggling riders, but this pair had
dashed out of side street as though Just
off for a spin by moonlight. The man, who
wore sweater, lay over the handle OF the
machine as though in an attack of cholera
morbus, While the woman had on boomers
of Scanty pattern, shirt waist, and nom
descript cap. She, too, had the saddle
raised, and was bent over as double as her
companion, so that it was difficult to say
which was which, save for the flying hair
OF the girl and the more slender legs of
the man. The startled spectator turned
TO watch the twain as they passed, Won
dering how any human being could Will
ingly make herself as ridiculous as the
woman or as conspicuous as the man, and
by what faulty the female mind deemed
boomers a becoming disguise for ponder
osty. But there was no gift [ gle US
for this rotund damSel, who meant to be
as up to date as the law would allow,
and therefore, she and her escort Speeded
away in evening light, perfectly content
with their scientific riding ard regardless
of comments.-Boston Herald.

NO DOUBT.

There is no doubt that physician who
makes a life study Of certain ailments,
as DR.. Walker has done for twenty-foUr
years. OF nervous, brain, and chronic dis
eases, is better qualified to treat and cure
them than the general practitioner, who
cndeayOrs to cover the whole wide range
of complaints that affect humanity
Although Dr. Walkers practice is large
and extensive and steadily increasing and
his time is in constant demand, bel has always
firmly adhered to his system of small
fees; he never makes a charge of any kind
for consultation, examination, or advice.
This places the wonderful benefit of his
great skill within the reach of all. In ad
dition TO the large number OF callers he sees
daily, be yet finds time to answer per-
sonally the many letters he constantly re-
ceivcs from out of-town sufferers, who
Seek his aid or advice Dr. Walker makes
il an iron clad rule TO only accept for treat
ment those cases he KNOWS he can cure;
Others are candidly told their condition and
sent away.
Young or middle-aged men suffering from
the effects of their own follies, vices. or
excesses, or men contemplating marriage,
who are conscious of any impediment or dis
qualification, or those who feel their youth
full vigor ard power declining should con-
suit Dr. Walker, who has been the means OF
restoring hundreds of such uufortunateS to
health, strength, and happiness.
His wen-known saniJarium, at 14l1
Pennsylvania avenue, adjoining Wizards
Hotel, is open daily for consultation and
treatment Office hours. 10 a. N. to . p.

1t is not commonly known that the
capital of China is ice-bound for five
months out of the twelve, or that the
stolId-looking Chinese could ever be
graceful skaters, yet both these facts
are well established. The Chinese use
a very inferior style of skate, of their
own manufactures mere chunk OF
wood arranged to tie on the shoe, and
shod with rather broad strip of iron.
There is no attempt at elegance of de-
sign or at anything approaching a
spring fastening. A pair of "Acmes,"
when shown by the writer to some
native students in the Chinese capital,
produced unbounded astonishment and
admiration by their neatness and
strength. On the other hand, the very
cheapness and simplicity of the CON-
mon native-made article tends to
make skating general.-Pittsburgb

There appeared in various New York
newspapers early in 1863 a report that
there was in Florida "a great volcano,
about bursting, whose lava will burn,
flow and destroy" and this was further
defined as being ''the sudden appear
ance in arms of no less than five thou
sand negroes" "a iberating host"
mot the phantom, but the reality Of
servile insurrection." The fact which
lay behind these preposterous exag-
gerations was simply an expedition up
the st. Johns river Of two black regi-
n1ents under my command, with the
aid of some small gunboats. We were
expected to retake Jacksonville, which
had been evacuated in October, 1862,
under Maj. Gen. Hunters orders, this
being on the avowed ground that it
would take a garrison of five thousand
men to hold it. InasInuch as my whole
force was less than thousand, it might
have seemed unduly risky to proceed
On this enterprise, but the theory was
that there was now but a small confed-
crate force in Florida, although this
theory overlooked the fact, afterwards
demonstrated by the defeat at Olustee,
that Jacksonville was on the mainland,
and easily accessible by rail from the
whole department of the south.
On the Other hand, the temptation to
get to Jacksonville was very strong.
1t meant a foothold in the interior
and an unlimited recruiting of COL
ored troops. 1t meant also the es-
Enlistment of tho United States tax
commissioners on the real soil of Flor
ida, and, perhaps, the ultimate bring
ing back of that state into the union.
To me personally these objects were
quite secondary. What 1 desired was
to occupy Jacksonville. then be re-
placed by white troops there and go
further up the river TO Magnolia,
where there were large unoccupied
buildings, just suited to a recruit
ing station. The finest men l had
were Florida negroes. They knew
every inch of the st. Johns river, and
] had not the smallest doubt that if we
once could get to Magnolia or even
Jacksonville we could recruit another
regiment or two from the rivers up

asked her boys II they would not bring
her some evergreen boughs. This thew

her pupils a little description OF what
she intended to do.
She had spent some of her vacations
In Vermont, and. being familiar with
the process Of sugar making, was able
TO make her story not only instructive
but decidedly interesting.
She described the grove, the tapping
of the trees, the running of the sap,
the boiling of 1t. and so on. Then she
told what she proposed doing ut the
party. She was going TO boil some
sirup and then pour IL upon bowls Of
