LOCAL LABOR MATTERS.
Busy Meeting of the Trades Assem-
bly, Last Night.

bly, Last Night.
Over 100 delegates were present at
the meeting of the Trades and Labor
assembly last evening, which proved
one of the most interesting and exciting
which has been held for some time. A
report was received from the executive
board, declaring untrue charges pre-
ferred against one of the delegates by
another. The trustees found that the
books of the custodian were in good
condition, and the accounts correct. c..
Quincy and J. H. Mcdowell, Typo
graphical Union No. 80, and P. Ege
boot and shoe workers union, were
obligated as delegates. The action of
Tailors' Union No. IS in severing its
connection with the Journeymen Tail
ors' Union of America, created consid-
cradle discussion, some of the delegates
insisting that in consequence thereof,
they were not entitled to representa-
ton. J. B. Lennon, general secretary
of the international, in communica-
ton, requested that the assembly still
continue to allow the local union rep
resentation, at the same time express
ing the opinion that the union would
eventually see the error it had COM
mitted, and again unite with the par
ent board For the purpose of securing
all information possible, as to the
cause of the secession of No. IS, and
also to try and secure reconsideration
of their previous action, the organiza-
ton committee was instructed to APP
pear before the union at meeting to
be held Monday evening.
The annual dues, $10 to the Associat
ed Charles, were ordered paid. The
legal bureau bugabOo was again
brought up and, on motion Of one of the
delegates, was postponed until next
year, which is considered death blow
to the proposition.
communication from Anthony
Yoerg to the free text book committee,
before which Mr.. Yoerg appeared
Thursday evening, was read, and the
committee was instructed to meet with
a committee from the school board at
a meeting to be held at the court house
Monday afternoon.
Delegate Brown created considerable
hilarity by suggesting that the whole
assembly attend the meeting, and that
not only the free text-boo matter, but
others in which the assembly was in
terested, should be thoroughly aired.
If the whole assembly backed up the
committee, they would bring the school
board to time.
C. H. Brown reported that the diff
Guilty with the METROPOLITAN opera
house instead of being settled was
practically IN the same conultlon as II
had been for the past year, and claimed
that certain members of the assembly
had misrepresented matters. His re-
port was referred back to the stage
employees union for. action.
A resolution emenating from Typo
graphical Union No. 80 relative to the
letting Of the city printing for 1898
was Endorsed, and the city council will
be asked to appoint committee to
confer with a committee from No. 30.
J. H. McNally, P. McQuillan, Fl.
Giese, M. Igo and ]. H. Mcdowell were
added to the committee to make ar
rangements for the ball to be given
on Monday, Jan. IT. c. Guiny was ap-
pointed on the press and council COM
mittee to fill q vacancy.

"At Pine Ridge" David Higgins new
Southern play. which will receive its first
81. Paul presentation at the Grand toner
row night, comes well spoken of by the critics
of the East and the various cities in which
the play has been presented this season.
1t is said to handle the race question in
new and striking manner and the most eff
fective of its infinite possibilities of pathoS
are made use of. The production will be
complete as particular attention Is paid to
detail The company is an adequate one and
contains many well-known names The seats
are sel,Sg rapidly.

In the production of The Heart of Mary
land" David BelascO's celebrated play, under
the personal direction of the author So
much that is highly complimentary has been
said OF this play by the best American critics.
and it has sucn a record of splendid business
during its recent four weeks engagement at
the Baldwin theater, San Francisco, that It
will be surprising if the theater is not packed
during its engagement here. Certainly no
play of late years has been so well received
and apparently none has better deserved it's
great success.

WANT WATER BOARD PLACE.
Plumbers Ask That One of Them He
Appointed.

A delegation from the plumbers asso-
citation waited on Mayor Doran yester-
day to urge the selection of plumber
to the vacancy on the water board
which will be caused by the expira-
tiCn of the term of Horace E. Stevens
The delegation consisted of J. p. Adam
son, John H. Shea, Allan Black, j. J.
Prendergast, John e. Holt, c.. j. KEGS
S. A. Hill and John McQuilian. The
gentlemen had short interview with
his honor and presented the name of
Patrick w. Hudner as their candidate
for the position. The spokesman eX-
planned to the mayor that the plumbers
association was of the opinion that it
would be for the best interests of the
public that one member of the board
of water commissioners should be a
practical plumber. The mayor inform
ed the delegation that the suggestion
made and the name presented by them
for the position would be considered
when the appointment was taken up.
Some one suggested after the plumbers
had filed out of the office that if w. L.
Ames could be made a member of the
plumbers association there would be
chance for a representative of the as
sociation to be appointed on the water
board.

TAXES ON INsTALLMENT.
HaIf-YearIy Payment Law in Effect
Jan. /.

The law passed by the last IegisIa-
ture fer the relief of taxpayers, goes
into effect Jan. l. BY this law taXpay-
ers are allowed to pay their assess
ments in two installments, the first on
Jan. l, and the second on July l.
The effect of this law will be to re-
lieve what otherwise would have been
a hardship to many, although the gen.
eraI condition of matters is better than
it was a year ago. 1t will be much
easier for most people in moderate cir
cumstances. whose taxes are, say $100
annually to raise $50 twice a year
than to raise 500 at one time. 1t is
also believed that the new system for
the payment of taxes will greatly re-
duce DELINQUENT lists of the future.

Hard Work Chasing the Long-Nseked
Animals In south Africa.


The pleasure of giraiie-hunt Is in
disputable, but it is one that no real
sportsman will repeat more than twice.
A hard spur and sjambok gallop
through bush aud thorn, with more
than an even chance of your nag put
ting his foot in jacka's earth, a
gradual oyerhauling of the giant mann
mails that are sailing without apparent
eNerlion III front of you, hasty dis
mount unless you are lucky enough to
he able To shoot from horseback, a
bullet planted just above the tail and
penetrating the tough skin into the
heart and lungs, and with crash your
game comes to earth, and you are
standing, dripping with Precipitation
after your two.mile run, and outrage
ously scratched With haakdoorn, over
the body Of what is surely the strangest
animal that even South Africa can
produce. The trouble is that beyond
the chance of being thrown or of COM
ing in contact with a tree, there il not
much danger in the puysuit of the
giraffe. No animal could he more
gentle or defenceless. You have the
thrilling excitement of a twenty min
utes' burst, but you mss what should
he the spice of big-game hunting-the
risk. All that You need in giraffe
hunting is Il good nag; if possible, one
that has been used to the business.
II is hard to keep an inexperienced
% Ia kxsh
the disagreeable smell of an old giraffe
bull comes down the wind. With that
and a solid Martini Henry bullet-the
hollow express ones are not firm
enough to get far beyond the inch or
inch and half of brazen hide that
encases these monsteTs-succes is
almost certain. Giraiies DO not put
out their fullest speed unless very
hard pressed. They start off at an
easy ambling gait, moving the legs on
one side simultaneously, like an Amer
lean PAGER. Their black bushy tails
corkscrew over their backs, and their
immense necks bob backwards and
forwards at each stride. They do not
appear to be going very fast, but You
will find that you have to be well
mounted to get within shooting dis
lance of them. If not run down in
the first two miles they stand good
chance of getting clean away, When
going their hardest they change their
gait to an extraordinary sort of gallop,
their hind legs being well straddled
out and brought forward, one on each
side, in front of the fore legs. 1t is
ierky, convulsive, awkward movement,
but wonderfully effective as a means
of getting over the ground.-Harper's
Weekly.

washington's sundowners.

An institution characteristic of Wash
ington is the "sundowner. This term
ia here applied to a man who il in
government employ from nine o'clock
till four, but who has a profession
which he practices for the rest of the
day.
There are shutdown doctors, sun.
down lawyers and shutdown ministers.
The regular physicians have for years
made war upon their shutdown con-
petitors, and under tire last administra-
tion they succeeded in persuading the
secretary of the interior to issue an
order forbidding the clerks in his de-
partment to practise medicine. This
applied particularly to the medical ex-
aminers in the pension office, who, it
was contended, should not be under
obligation to outside clients. But
with that exception there is little or
no restriction upon the practice of
these professions by the clerical force
of the government. The pastors Of
many OF the smaller churches, espe-
cially in the suburbs, are men who dur.
ing the week are clerks in the depart
ments. Occasionally "sundowner"
achieves such success in his profession
that it ceases TO be profitable te give
six hours and half day for the sal
airy which the government pays. He
then resigns and devotes himself
wholly to his avocation.
The professional schools In the dis
trict do much to encourage this "sun-
down" system. They all have even
ing sessions exclusively, and almost
every young man who comes to Wash.
ington to go into the departments at
once takes up the study Of law, medi-
cine or dentistry.-Boston Transcript.
