THE FEScIBLEs. CELEBRATION.
Tenth Birthday of The Organization
Fittingly Observed.


The tenth anniversary of the National
Fencibles was celebrated at the company S
armory and clufrooms. No. 313 L street,
last night. EX-ruenbers and old members
and friends were there and speec hes
and "reminiscences We're freely indulged.
Capt Domer officiated as master of
ceremonies, and old and new members
alike werc called on for remarks The
babyheod OF the company was lived over
again, and competitive drills won and
lost, were drilled again, in retrospect There
is always a sweet sorrow associated with
celebrations which indicate passing years,
and deceased comrades were not forgotten:
hut were tenderly referred to in this aele-
bration of the passing of the first decade
OF existence of the Fencitles
There seems to be an unusual bond Of
coTnradeship existing in the organization
OF this company and the statement that
"oRce Fencible, alwaysa Fencible," was
when were made during the evening.
Charter members now no longer actively
associated with the company expressed
uuendiag fealty, and it is safe to predict
from the enthusiasm manifested that should
a competitive drill be announced for next
in the ranks OF the company and that the
Fencibles will once again make an effort
to regain lost honors and the coveted title
OF the champion military organization of
the United States.

the Union.
The members of the Plasterers' Union
affiliated with the Central Labor Union
who were employed on hgildipgs in the
northwest section of the city struck for
yesterday for union wages.
1t is reported that the men We're dssat-

the regular scale of wages being recog-
nized and paid had continued TO work.
Finding, however, that they were not
getting fun union rates they determined,
rather than to work for less than the
regular wage scale, TO quit work.
The matter was not discussed at the
Central Labor Union last evening, as the
PlasteTers Union have not yet had an
opportunity to take any action in the
matter. II was understood, however, that
no compromise would be made, other than
on basis of fun union wages and hours.
