LABOR BOARD OF TRADE.
An Effort viii Be 7ade to Organize
One in the Near Future.

An informal meeting was held last
evening, attended by fifteen or twenty
of the leading laboring men of the
city, for the purpose of discussing
the feasibility of organizing a board
of trade. If we understand the OBJ
ject of the organization rightly, it is
designed to advance the interests of
labor, and at the same time work in
harmony for the advancement of the
material interests of the city.
An organization of this character,
if properly Differed and judiciously
conducted, can be made valuable to
the laboring as we'll as the business
interests of Mankato. We understand
that it is the intention to bulletin
all proposed city Improvements and
keep a close watch on all plans and
specifications for buildings. Contrac-
tors will thus be in close touch with
matters in their line, and in close
touch also with labor. T.
Another meeting will soon be held,
at which time it is expected to form
a permanent organization. .'.

GEN. GRANT.

Yesterday the tomb of Gen. Grant,
at Riverside Park, New York, was ap-
Jpropriately dedicated in the presence
of thousands of people including the
president and his cabinet, many men,
bers of congress, and other leading
officials Of the government, 1t was a
great occasion and the exercises were
wholly fitting the great hero whose
ashes peacefully rest in the
beautiful tomb. At the dedica-
tion were gathered thousands of the
generation that has grown up since
Grant met Lee at Appomattox, and
there were many representatives of
the thinning ranks of battle scared
veterans, many Of whom served under
Grant, who mingled freely with
representatives of those who wore the
gray. Nothing so illustrated the fact
that the bitterness Of the great
struggle is fast passing away as the
at the ceremonies yester-
day of some few that are left remain
ing, of the leaders of the southern
forces. who mingled freely with those
who followed Grant, and added their
praise of him to that of his most de-
voted follower and admirer. Greatest
in war, Grant was also greatest in his

THE GREEK STRUGGLE.

The Greek reverses have greatly ex
cited the populace of Athens, and the
crowd that was crying for war two or
three weeks ago and threatening
those in authority if they did not get
It, are now holding the king TO blame
for the reverses, and bowling for re-
voiution as loudly as they did for war.
One great test of a mans character
comes In adversely. But from all &C
counts the Greeks cannot stand rever-
ses. When the fall of Tyrnavos and
Larissa came it did not signify that
all was lost to the Greeks, though it
must be confessed the chances looked
largely against them because of the
great force and good organization of
the Turks. But it was taken by
the powers of Europe to mean the
beginning OF the end. And the Greek
masses have interpreted In the same
way. The great trouble with the
Greeks seems to be that there is no
real leader. Authority in military
matters seems to be too much divid-
ed, and it is hard to say whether the
king, the crown prince, or one of the
two or three leading generals is in
command as to the lead. There is no
man of iron to resolutely direct the
way. And from all accounts it is
doubtful whether there could be, for
the Greeks seem to be as impulsive as
ever the French were and will turn a
man down as soon as he meets with
the least defeat, and are envious of
one of their number who attains
great popularity. All of these things
point to very different ending of the
war than theigreat Christian masses
Of the world desire. With these
weaknesses noted, the Greeks have
had the opposition of the powers of
Europe, they favor the Turk, be-
cause his defeat would likely draw
Them into trouble over the division of
jhe spoils. Christian sentiment in
nations is queer article and does not
amount to much when the dollar or
ADDITIONAL territory is to be taken in
70 consideration. 1t is simply fad
ven enough to be endulged in on the
lde when there is nothing material
1t stake.

THE HENRIETTA ARRIVES.
Brings an Excursion From ST. Peter
and VIII Carry One There
Tomorrow.
One of the Largest Steamers That
Ever Came Up the Minne-
sofa

The steamer Henrietta left ST
Peter at five minutes after nine
o'clock this morning and arrived al
the landing in this city at noon, hav,
ing made the thirty-siX miles Of river
in three hours, Or twelve miles an
hour. The boat tied to the bank back
of W. NJ. FAIRS lumber yard, and a
gang plank was showed against the
bank. Que hundred and seventy-five
people from St. Peter were on board,
and for two and half hours took in
the sights. 1t was jolly crowd,
mostly young people, and the eXcur-
sion was'an event in their lives which
they will long look back upon with
pleasure.
While the boat was at the landing
this afternoon, hundreds Of our citi-
zens visited her and were allowed to 60
through her to'their hearts content.
1t was strange .sight for Mankato
eyes to see, for it has been a dozen or
more years since steamer of any
size has visited this city. A quarter
of century 'ago regular trips were
made, but'the boats that came up the
river in the early days swere not as
large ass the Henrietta. Skipper E.
w. Durant,s.who has charge of the
boat, states that this is probably the
largest steamer that ever came up
the riversfrom st. Paul to Mankato.
The steamer is stern wheeler from
Saltwater, where Skipper Durant
formerly presided as mayor. She left
the Prison City last Friday and head
ing her nose up stream, made for
Shakopee. The next day she continu-
ed her'trip, stopping at Chaska, Car
yer, Belle PLANE and Henderson. On
Sunday shepushed up to St. Peter,
and returned to Henderson. This
trip was srepeated Monday. Yester-
day the wind was so strong that she
was tied up at St. Peter all day. To-
day she made this city and returned
to St. Peter. IL.
The Henrietta twill continue her
tripstas long'as the stage of the water
will permit.Cy The boat draws only
two and half feet of water, and is
40 feet long. She has been
reftted for this line of work, has state
rooms for forty.people, and is licensed
to carry 300 all told. There are three
decks, hoarse whistle, bell, uniformed
officers, alife boats, life preservers, etc.
Skipper Durant stated that the
river fromsSt. Peter to Mankato was
much easier of.navigation than below
ST. Peter. Snags and sand bars gave
no trouble and the trip was a deligfat-
full one.

coined the end of the great struggle
at AppomattoX than he. And yet fol
all his love of peace and objection tc
war, he was a born soldier and strate'
gist, and his logged determination
gave him that success in military
operations that comes to few men.
1t has been said that Grant was Who'll
ly devoid Of diplomacy and totally I'M
fitted for civil life, and that his de-
vOtiOn to his friends made him wholly
obliViOus Of their faults And on
this score ii has been claimed that
his civil career was a failure. But as
the strong political passion that was
engendered during the exciting years
following the war, when it took but a
spark to start a flame, passes away, it
is being recognized that Grants ad-
ministrdtiOn was one of the great adj
ILLUSTRATIONS Of the republic. It was
a hard place to PUT man in those
years and times of disorganization.
It needed man Of iron and that was
what he proved to be, as he had been
in military affairs. Doubtless he
made mistakes. All men do. But
his unyielding will did as much to
save the republic from ruin in those
trOublous days when partisan and
sectional bitterness ran high, as it
did in the years before on the field of
battle.
But Grant is better understood to.
day than at that time. In the twelve
years that have elapsed since his
death his character has been more
fully revealed and studied than in all
the years of his public life, though he
lived to see much of the bitterness
pass away and the TWO sections of
his country blend in the peace and
friendship he so much desired. while
the bitterness and malice with which
he had been assaulted had almost en-
tire]y died out and a nation gathered
him as father.

no man could drink half a gallon of
brandy day for more than a very
short time," said John L. Smith of

living in the town reside in who has
never missed drinking that much
brandy in day for 20 years. His
name is John Hudnail, and he owns a
brandy distillery near Linden. He
has used liquor as a beverage since
early youth, and for the past 20 years
has consumed half gallon Of brandy

the brandy. He is hale and hearty

knows him doubts the statement as

have said. 1t has not impaired his

A Cheerful Prospect.

A nervous young minister was fill
ing the pulpit for country charge
that was without regular pastor. A
part of his experience is touchingly
related by the local paper. The very
pious old lady at whose house he
staid, in showing him his room, said :.
4" 1t amt everybody I'd put in this
room. This here room is full OF
sacred associations to me-" She went
on. "My first husband died in that
bed, with his head on three pillows,
and poor Mr.. jerks died sittin in that
corner Sometimes when l come
into the room in the dark / think !
see him sittin there still. My own
father died lyin right on that lounge
right under the window there. Poor
pa, he was a spiritualist, and he allus
said he'd appear in this room after he
died, and sometimes l am foolish
enough to look for him. If you
should see anything of him tonight
you'd better not tell me. It'd be a
sign to me that there was somethin in
spiritualism, and I'd hate to think
that. My son by my first man fell
dead of heart disease right where you
stand. He was doctor, and there:
two whole skeletons in that close
there belongin TO him, and half a
dozen skulls in that lower drawer. l
you are up early and want somethir
to amuse yourself before breakfast
just open that cupboard there, and
you will find lot of dead mems
bones. My poor boy thought lot
of them. Well, good night, ant
pleasant dreams !"-Pihsbnrg CHyon
