WORKING CARD ADOPTED.
Building Trade Council Puts In Ell
feet n New Plan Successful
I'm the East.

The Building Trades council has adopted
a working card for all the orkme affiliat-
ed with that body. The cards will be dis
tributed by the council to the various unions
and the officers of the unions will give them
to the workmen The cards will be alike
for all mechanics. After the cards are dis
tributed no mechanic will be permitted to
work on a union job who cannot show his
working card.
BY the new system we can compel all
union mechanics to keep their dues paid
up said General Hahn. the organizer of
the council. THE cards will be distributed
every three months and. only those who
have paid up their dues will receive cards.
The working card system is in vogue in
Chicago. Boston and New York city and has
proved a great success
At the next meeting of the council the
question of adopting the Building Trades
union label, which was proposed by General
John Hahn a year ago. will be taken up
for discussion. The label will be made Of
copper and will be placed in the front of
all buildings constructed entirely by union
labor.

HOW BISMARCK BECAME RICH
German Writer Says the Chancellor
Specialized ON State
Secrets.

From the London Truth.
A pamphlet has recently appeared in Ger
many entitled Bismarck and Bleichroe.
der" Its author is a member of the old
Junker party of the name of Diebat Daher,
and it processes to give some curious de-
tails in regard to the present fortune of the
ex~-chanceilor and how it was acquired.
After the German war of 1870 the prince re-
ceived from the country two estates Of no
great value, which. coupled with his own
paternal estate. brought him in a fair reve-
nue.. He then left Bleichroeder to look after
his private monetary affairs. with the result
thai he I.ow has a fortune amounting 70
$50. 600. 900 marks. This. the author contends.
can only have been made by Stock exchange
speculations. based on the knowledge that
the prince derived from his position at the
head of the German government. and which
he confided to BleichrOeder. That, with the
cares of empire on his shoulders, he left
his monetary affairs in the hands of his
banker is very possible. and equally posi-
BILE is 1t that his tanker did the best for his
client. But | should require a good deal
more evidence than is afforded in this PAM
phlet to believe that the prince specialized
on state secrets in partnership with a He
brew %financier or that his fortune Is now
anything like 100, 600, 600 marks.

This is against one in IL for the entire

of the 2Sth of January while travelling
to Tacoma on the California, Oregon,
the train had been held up. The car
in which he and other passengers
were, was rified and the safe blown
up. This caused the baggage car to
take fire and thousands of dollars
worth of personal property was de-
stroyed Mr.. Hering's trunk, also in
the ear, contained an atlas of the city
Of Honolulu, photographs, maps and
valuable notes all bearing upon the
work he has been entrusted by the
Government to do. At the request OF
the engineer Mr. Dodge Will furnish
him as nearly as possible with dupli-
Gates of what he has lost.
