Local Labor Notes.

The opening of the Duluth-Su-
perior bridge is now set for July 1.
Five health inspectors were laid
off Tuesday evening. Only six are
retained.
City Attorney Richards has de-
cided that D. A. Reed never was
city engineer.
A reduction of and 10 per cent
in wages have been made on many
of the eastern railroads.
Another proposition for the sale
of the ga and water plant at 81, 695,

Lacrosse has been named as the
next place of meeting for the Wis
cousin state federation of labor.
The street railway employees have
challenged the fire department
base ball club for test of powers
at the national game. The date
has not yet been arranged.
And now the intake we'll at the
pump house is falling to pieces.
The stone in the arch is crumbling.
And yet there are people who think
that the only way to have such
work done is by the contract sys-
tenn.
Congressman Towne is in the
city after an absence of two
months. He is receiving numer-
Gus calls to speak, and will devote
his whole time to the organization
of silver republicans for the next
congressional campaign.
Norway. Mich, is still having
tough luck. In addition to the Ar
ragon which locked out it's en-
ployes last fall and finally was per-
nanently closed, the Curry mine
closed down May 81. This leaves
but one mine in operation.
And now it is announced that the
pump house fraud is even worse
than represented by either of the
committees that have investigated
it, The foundation walls were all
along supposed to have been all
right, but Mr. Reed tells the board
of public works that a part of them
must come down and be rebuilt.
Fortunately the Frederickson con-
tract is so drawn up that it covers
this additional expense.
Work on the water works has as
sumed business-like proportions
and the election of a new city engi-
neer in the person of I. J. McGilvray
will do much to further operations.
According to the reports of a few
days since the Carroll-Po CON-

resumed Tuesday. On the Burke
contract p1pe-lay1ng also began
Tuesday.

couCHIE-CoUcHIE IN CHURCH.

A New Orleans dispatch says: "A strange religious celebration was held in St. Marks Baptist church in New Dr. leans Sunday night. The facts were dis closed before Police Magistrate Finne- gan, when most of the female members of the congregation were arraigned for z dancing the 'couchie-couchie' in church. St. Marks is at the corner of South Ram part and Toledano streets, and a foot washing was arranged for the first Sab bath of the new year. A 'foot-washing' is big event with the colored Baptists of the south. They are indulged in once a year. The penitents. robbed in white, are held up by two of the pillars of the church. while the pastor of the flock washes their feet. It Is supposed that he washes away the sins of the pre- vfous year. The services were at their height and the congregation wrought up to high pitch of religious fervor when the women jumped upon their feet and began to sing hysterical1y The minis ter pounded on hetpulpit with his gavel, but. he was not heard.

Unlike some Of the other new cabinet

sented to him for his signature by the

Secretary Long evidently holds the cor

How Fake Maple Sirup is Made.

How Fake Maple Sirup is Made.
From the Indianapolis Sentinel.
The attention of the city sanitarian has
been called to fake" limitations of maple
molasses that are being sold on the market
and in some stores. The fraud is one that
Is worked every year during the season of
maple molasses and buckwheat cakes. A
little maple sugar is used in making the
Imitation, and the peculiar flavor is given
to 1t by the use of hickory bark. It is said
that only a small proportion of the So
called sirup retailed In the market Is the
genuine article. 1t is said that there are
several of the factories" now operating in
the city. In some cases the imitation is so
perfect that it Is very difficult to detect it.
- City Sanitarian Clark has been looking up
the authorities. and he has found no law
that will enable him to arrest the manu-
facturers and venders Of the fake article.
There Is nothing 'deleterious to health in
the composition. he says, and he cannot or
der his inspectors to make arrests. very
clever imitation can also be produced, he
says. by the use of ground corncobs in
place Of hickory bark.
