That lie the Canse OF MANY strikes.

Tho Central Labor Union tho Hair-spiittinG
That Is the Cause OF Many Strikes.
The Building Trades section of tho Central
Labor Union has sat down upon a new building
trades union, an event that marks the first step
In a revolt against the subdivisions in trades. q
fertile source OF dissension in the past few years.
The snubbed organization is tho Stamped Stool
Ceiling and Side Wall Hangers Union. 1t ap-
piled last Sunday for admittance to the Central
Labor Union. and the application was referred
to the Organization Committee of the Building
Trades section. The Organization
reported against 1t, and recommended that tho
union join the Tin and Sheet Iron Workers
Union. One of the delegates said yesterday that
the divisions of trades had led to moro strikes
than all other causes put together.
Here We have the painters and varnishers and
the painters and gilders always striking against
each other" he said, +" when they should DO all
in one union. The slate and metal roofers and
tin and sheet iron workers are also striking
against each other at intervals. because the
members of one are doing the work of the other.
It's about time the unions got down to business
and stopped kicking. A little common sense Is
needed"

sEIDL At THE ASTORIA.
A Brilliant Audience at the SECOND or the sub
scription Concerts.

A HrtItlnk Audience AT the beO0n0 OF the Sub
s%cription Cenoerts.
Tho second Of seidl's subscription concerts at
the Astoria last evening showed a consider
able increase In numbers In tho audi
torium. Tho floor was crowded with
people all In gay dresses, . perfect salad
Of toilets, and tho scene was ono to
enrapture the eye. Ices and punches were
handed about very ~skilfully by trained and eff
cient walters during the intermission. and
everything combined to give an air Of tho most
charming festivity to the occasion.
Outside OF the social fashionable side, from the
art standpoint the affair was equally successful.
Berlioz began and ended the proRramme-be-
gan with n magnificent rendering of his
"Benvcnuto Cellini" overture, and ended
by the highly imaginative and descriptive
Pilgrims Marcel" from Harold in Italy,
during which it was most attractive to 500
Ysaye sitting humbly down among the first
violins. playing with the zest Of q true disciple
Of art the viola obligato which represents Har.
old himself throughout the symphony.
Indeed, this whole concert was tinged and
permeated with the personality Of two re-
markable artists-Ysaye and Pugno. They are
warm friends, they are accustomed to play
together continually. and they are both
men of such splendid calibre that they
bring tho finest art atmosphere with them-an
atmosphere which art easily lives in in the Old
World. but which has not yet become its real
element here.
Tho utmost simplicity characterized both
artists. and they possess also tremendous con-
ceutration, dignity and the real fire of genius
NJ. Pugno last evening made his debut lbe-
fore our public in Schubert's fantasia called
song Of that name. His position at the
head Of tho plano department of the
Paris conssryatoire tells at once what
cianly intelligence and correct judgment. These
qualities are displayed in full measure. He is
the ideal professor, but he Is more a %virtuoso of
his instrument. with a sure grasp of the keyboard
rarely seen, with lightning %quickness OF finger.
with a feeling for shades OF tone color never
surpassed by any artist that has been heard in
America, and with that exquisite grace and
huency and liRhtness that is so decidedly char
acter.stic Of French piano playing.
With all this lightness, with all those pearly
runs and nicely graded diminuendos, NJ; Pngno
has great power and an enormous ability to
make grand climaxes and crescendos. He
played with notes. and this appeared we'll as a
change from tho everlasting show.off Of a piece
prepared long before that Is and has been the
fashion among pianists. There was a sense that
prot great works rather than to show
and a reverence in this attitude that is vastly
attractive. He was encored, and for tho recall
played a part of Mozart,s sonata in A major.
Isaye played with great charm and sentiment
Saint Saens lovely violin concerto In b minor,
and it sounded we'll. in spite Of the fact that the
Astoria acoustics are not good for the. violin.

NORA CE L. CHAPMAN's AMBITIONS.
He wants to Run for President In 1000 and
to SIT in Hanna's Seat In the senate.

h VNAntnt 10 hun Q President In 1000 ana
to Sit In Hanna's Seat In the senate.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 1s.-Iorace L. Chapman,
lately Democratic candidate for Governor, wants
to become President of the United States or 60
to the United States Senate. Ohio Democrats
do not believe that Mr.. Bryan can secure the
nomination In 1900 and many OF them think
that the party will either come to Ohio or go to
New York for its candidate. A member of the
Democratic State ittee is authority for
the statement that Mr.. Chapman will be a can
didatc.
The Democrats made the discovery some time
ago thai it did not require a majority OF al tho
members elected to the General Assembly to
elect a United States Senator, but only tho ma
iority OF q quorum, and u scheme has been pro-
posed to induce enough, Republican members to
absent themselves on the day fixed for the cleo.
tion Of a Senator. and in this way enable tho
Democrats to elect Chapman as Hanna's sue
ccssor. The fact that this plan has beco o
known spoils any chances Of success it may have
had. 1t was the intention of the Democrats to
mako Mr.. Chapman their candidate, and 1t Is
quite likely that he will receive the Democratic
co uplimentary vote to holp along his Presidcn-
tinl candidacy.
