are bewildering in their variety and beauty,
but after they have endured the crush of
the throng for an hour or two they are little
more than wrecks of their former great
ness.
On Wednesday evening the President and
Mrs Cleveland will entertain the Presi-
dent-elect and Mrs Mckinley ut dinner, as
has been the custom OF retiring Presidents
from the earliest times.
This dinner will be served in the family
dining room, and while it will be in a sense
an informal affair, it has none Of the fea-
lures of state occasion, but is rather a
courtesy from those about to leave their
official cares behind them to those SO soon
to assume them. AS no other guests are
invited, 1T gives the retiring President an
opportunity TO talk over matters lit
tie with his successor; and this Is generally
done when these important gentlemen re-
tire to the library. And so, too Mrs. Cleve-
land ana Mrs. Mckinley will be free to
discuss the no less interesting affairs that
pertain TO their official station. Possibly
they may take stroll through the beau
tiful state parlors and the upper floors

In former years it has been customary
to serve luncheon in the White House on
the 4th of March on the new Presidents

Plasterers' Assembly 1914, K. OF L.,
ami Union No. 20, international Broth
erhood OF Operative Plasterers OF the
United States and Canada, is also an iul-
portant member OF the house builders
brigade. Up 10 the year 1873 the plas-
terers in Washington We're UnOrganZed,
and worked piece work, the weekly rates
ranging from 75 cents to 81 % per day.
Several times an effort was made to per
feet an organization, but without success,
until in 1874 delegation OF plasterers
from Baltimore visited this city and OK
ganiZed Assembly No. 1914 Piece work
was then abandoned, and a scale OF wages
at s. 80 per day established. This rae
was rapidly increased. until the present
price, So 80, was reached.
During the last year, however, a ma
jorty of the members OF the assembly
thought they would better advance the in
terests locally and strengthen the stand
ing nationally by affiiiating with the in
ternational organization Of plasterers, and
accordingly applied for and were granted
n charter by the Brotherhood OF Operative
Plasterers' Union of the United States and
Canada. The present chief executive Of
ficer is Mr.. Daniel Mahoney.

AS labor organizations go, the brick
layers are by long odds the best fixed
financially OF any of the local labor bodies.
While always maintaining fat bank
account, they are not stingy with their
funds when any of the brother members
are i'll need OF assistance.
According to the constitution OF the
union, the president is empowered TO ap-
point committee, whose special duty it
is to keep posted on the wants OF the
members by learning the reason why any
one is absent from the regular weekly
meetings or from his work. In this way
no one is lost sight OF, and the needy al
ways receive timely assistance.
Each year the union eX pends several
thousands OF dollars in-this way, and it
is the pride and boast of every member
that no union brickIayer Is ever compelled
to seek aid from the public or private
charities of the city. The present ex-
ecuuve officer OF the union is Mr. william
II Maghan, who is now serving his sec
ond term.

Among tie many different labor organi-
zatioas in the city there a1e several which
belong distmctively to the class known
as "Louse builders such as the brick
layers, granite cutters plasterers and car
penters. These come strictly under the
head OF trade unions, but nevertheless, some
are and have since their organization been
affiliated with the Knights of Labor. All
OF them, however, are among the Oldest
organizations of IatoIing men in tie Dis

new scale of wages was established, and
the hours of work reduced from ten to

Since it's organization the National Union
has rapidly increased both in membership
and innumber of local branches. Whenfirst
formed there were but six unions affil-
lated with the national body. The COM
bined membership of the several unions
numbered only a few hundred, while now
there are bout 200 branches, with mem
bership of nearly 1900. OF ten charter
members of the old Granite Cutters AsSo
citation, there are only five now remaining
in this city. These are Messrs. James
Doran, Charles Bastapool, John Fitzger-
aid, Martin Ford and John Lahster.

The most numerous of the house-building
fraternity are the bricklayers, who have
perfect organization formed on trades
union principles, with membership of
nearly 500 Though not so old an organ
iZation, like the granite cutters, they,
too were organized as an association, with
Mr.. Walter b. Dobson as president. They
were organized as the Journeymen Brick
LAYERS Association in April, 1867, with
membership of 146, which number in
cIuded all the bricklayers in the District
of Columbia at that time. Very soon after
the organization they joined the brick
LAYERS and masons' international union,
which, in 1873, adopted scale of wages,
making $3.50 the price of days work
of eight hours.
The business depression of IA caused
great decline i'll building operations, eSpe-
cially in Washington, and as a result nearly
every member Of the union was thrown out
of employment Under the circumstances
it was impossible to maintain the wage
scale at So so per day. The members of
the union We're idle for months, and the
treasury was depleted by the payment Of
out of work and sick benefits. 1t was i'm
possible for the men to find work, and the
struggle against the employers seemed
hopeless; so after a fruitless effort, pro-
longed for six months, the union disbanded
Before disbanding, however, it paid out
every cent in the treasury, amounting to
over 81 400.
In 1881 the union was reorganized under
the name of Bricklayers Union, No. 1, and
in Al prii of the same year issued the first
working card, which was signed by Mr..
James Annoud, as president
The old rate of 81. so per day was re-

The Oldest Of these organizations, and
perhaps the first labor body formed III the
Dist rict is the Granite Cutters union.
Like many of the old labCr organizations,
when first formed was known as the Gran
ite Cutters Association. The local union
was first organized in 1852, with Mr.
Mole HarcouIt as president. Atthat time
the ass ociation had a large membership,
and work was plentiful, and the orean1za-
ton became powerful, not only nunerf
caHy, but financially as well. II was not,
however, until 1877 that rational union
was formed, with Mr.. Thomas IL MCTch,
ancx- { ongressman from Maine, as general
secretary and treasurer.
According TO the constitution OF the
national organZationth heheadquartcrs could
remain only two yearsin any one State, and
so has kept moving around from one State
to another sinceits formation. Another law
OF the national body was thatthe president
should be chosen from the local union in
which the headquarters were located, thus
providing for n compulsory change in the
chief executives office every two years.
The general secretary and treasurer, how
ever, was eligible to re- election but is com
PEELED to move when there is change of
headquarters.
The first trouble the Granite Cutters
A ssociation experienced was in 1878,
when it made a demand for the recoSni-
tion of the eight-hour law. Mr.. John Stew
arts stoneyard on New York avenue was
the scene of the first strike that the mem
bers OF the association made. Mr.. Stewart
refused to recognize the demand ami all
his opnIOves were 'scalled off" by the as
sociation. The lockout lasted for two
months or ten weeks and was finally set
tied by bycompromise;M Mr.. Stewart agreeingto
reduce the hours of labor for his employees
to nine hours per day.

Marriage of Prof. Reyes, of Columbia
College, to Miss Mary l.. Ward.
The marriage of Prof. Henry Elmo
Keyes, of Columbia college, to Miss
Mary Louise Ward. at St. Leo's church
New York city the other day. has in it
q touch of romance which had It's origin
in war time. The prospective BRIDE
groom is a son Of the famous Maj. Gen.
E. D. Keyes, who died abroad few
years ago, and whose resting place at
West Point is marked by a magnificent
monument placed there by the govern
ment.
During the war Gen. Reyes formed
the acquaintance of Capt. G. S. Luttrell
Ward. 1t is the daughter of this young
officer who subsequently died, that
Prof. Keyes is to wed. After the war
Gen. Reyes went to Europe, where he
remained with his family until his
death. During his residence in Europe
Gen. Keyes had his son Henry in a
school in Paris and later sent him to
Heidelberg, where the young man not
only distinguished himself as scholar,
but made name for himself as duel
list.
When young Reyes returned to this
country he became attached to the
scientific department of Columbia col
lege. It was mere accident by which
Prof. Keyes met Miss Ward, the daugh-
ter of his fathers soldier friend. Prof.
Reyes was visiting friends last sum-
mer at New Brighton, Staten Island,
