TRADES ASSEMBLY,
A Lively Discussion Occurs Over
Laundry Boycott.

The Acme laundry, J. T. Armstead
proprietor, has been on the unfair list
since last Friday not only of the laundry
workers union but also of the Trades
Assembly, and every affiliated union
that has met since has endorsed the de-
cision.
It took good part of the last meet
ing of the assembly. Mr.. Armstead de-
sired to be heard. Many of the dele
gates opposed the usual motion to sus
pend the rules and give him the floor on
the ground that a man so notoriously
opposed to unionism had no standing
there. On the other hand it was point
ed out by President McEwen and others
that there was No object in refusing and
there might be loss; people might think
the assembly had taken arbitrary action
and they would never get over it. There
could be no harm in hea ing what he
had to say.
Mr.. Armstead contended that it was a
cut-and- dried decision. that an hour
after Miss Dunleavy was discharged he
was told he would be boycotted for ii
and that more than half the assembly
was committed to a boycott. He intlm.
ated that the affidavits bearing on the
matter which have been circulated were

Capt. John Kidwell.

Heartiest congratulations were ex-
tended yesterday to Capt. John Kid
well upon his temperance in the city
after a siege of illness at his home
near Pearl City, where he is in the
pineapple and cane growing business.
Last December the captain was kicked
by mule and a couple of weeks ago
noticed that the hurt was taking on
new life. A physician was consulted,
with the result that there was some
lancing, after which the leg was plac-
ed in a plaster cast. Capt. Kidwell is
able to walk all right again, but
through dieting and confinement in
doors lost about twenty pounds in
weight.

lions of speed stock 1t will be diff
cult indeed to get such a horse, but

The matter of two heats in three
instead of three in five for the pacing

being persistently urged by men of in
fuence in the Hawaiian Jockey Club
and it is likely to be made. 1t is strong

patrons of the track. One of the own
ers who has been in marked opposition
to the proposed reform from the first
said yesterday, when perhaps off his
guard, that he would have been agree
able but for the fact that a certain
individual with whom he had an old
difference was so much in favor of the
change. This temper may disappear.

between Hollinger's Margaret H and

ANCIENT STUTTGART.

Postal and Travelling Accommodations of
the Old German City.
The post relations of ancient Stuttgart
were unpretentious. The two maid
servants of the postmaster distributed
through the city the daily letters, which
they carried in the same basket with the
family marketing. Letters were carried
out of the city by positions. There was
q number of couriers, and as surety
against mistakes there hung in the post
office, beside the curious mail bags, a
huge whip, with which, when the com
mission mad been given to the courier, a
powerful blow for the strengthening OF
his memory was dealt him.
Coaches and post wagons were inno-
cent of any suggestion of comfort-a
high, clumsy wooden box was secured
by thick leathen straps and iii the
cavernous bottom were confined together
packages and passengers. Up and down
hill, over ruts and rocks, the cumbrous
vehicle ratified on its way, the hapless
travellers being ever Oh the defensive
against the assaults Of tumbling boxes
and bundles. And then the weary slow
ness of the way! Formerly the journey
from Stuttgart to Tubingen was made
in 10 hours. The same journey is now
made in four hours. The positions
alighted to take refreshments when it
pleased them, and one traveller has left
a dismal record of journey that he
once made, during which the driver
took the horses from the carriage and
attached them to hay wagon that had
been left mired in the mud. The man
drove the wagon into the next village,
and when there he Joined the grateful

The Original Organ Grinder.

When barrel organs once the usual
accompaniment of the magic lantern,
came into use, a native of the province
of Tende was one Of the first who trav-
eled about Europe with this instrument.
In his peregrinaticns he collected
money enough to enable him TO purchase
from the king of Sardinia the title of
count of the country where he was born
for which, probably, in a time of war
he did not pay above 1000 guineas
With the remainder of his money he
purchased an estate suitable to his rank
and settled himself peaceably for the
remainder of his days i'll his mansion.
In the entrance hall of his dwelling
he hung up his magic lantern and his
organ facing the door, there to be care
fully preserved till they moldered to
dust, and he ordered by his will that
any one of his descendants who should
cause them to be removed should forfeit
his inheritance and his patrimony revert
to the next heir, or, in failure of sue
cessor, to the hospital of Tende.
Only few years ago the organ and
lantern were still to be seen carefully
preserved. Pearson Weekly.

THEY DON'T LIKE PAPER.
savages ~ First Contact Regard the Fabric
With Suspicion.

With Suspicion.
When savage people first come in con-
tact with the whites, none of the won
ders that they see is regarded with more
suspicion than large sheets of paper
The native is apt to regard paper as a
sort of cloth, and the fact that it tears
easily and is worthless for most Of the
purposes to which cloth is put convinces
him that il is fraud.
One or two Kongo travellers told Of
the disgust with which the natives at
first regarded paper. The Kongo tribes,
by the way, are on the lookout for
sharpers and it is exceedingly hard
work for anybody to sell them bad
quality of cutlery or cloth. Savages
soon find however, that paper is not in
tended TO serve the purposes of cloth.
Then they cease to look upon it as a
fraud, but they do not think it ranks
high among white man S manufactures
and they have little use for it.
Some time ago we'll known explorer
was travelling in the interior of Queens
land, Australia where he met many
natives who had never seen a white man
before.
One day crowd of natives was in
the white mans camp carefully inspect
ing the explorer and his baggage when
newspaper happened to drop out of
his pocket.
The natives unfolded and spread it
out on the ground. They decided that it
must be an article of wearing apparel,
and one of them tried it on. He wrap
| ped it round his shoulders like shawl
and sat down OH the ground, arranging
watching the faces of the crowd to see
what they thought of his elegant gar
ment, covered as it was with many
| thousands of curious marks.
Presently, however, an accident hap
pened. While the savage was rearrang
ing his shawl and trying to bring the
corners together in front of him the gar.
ment began to tear at the nape of his
neck. A howl from the crowd called at
tention to the disaster. The blanket, Oh
| whatever it was, was evidently made OF
the poorest sort of material.
| The savage took his covering off, ex
amined the mischief he had wrought
made the tear little longer and ther
with his finger poked hole through
the paper.
That settled the fact that the article
was worthless. The newspaper sudden
| ly lost all interest for the natives, wht
turned their attention to less destructi
| BILE objects. Pearson Weekly.
