PILGRIM CHURCH FAIR.
Ladies Last Night, Gentlemen ToniGht
the Hosts.

A delightful and highly successful
fair was opened at Pilgrim church last
evening, and the first night was at
tended by several hundred people. The
lower floor of Pilgrim hall was devoted
to the fair features, while an elaborate
turkey supper was served in the upper
floor. The entire building was taste
fully decorated in appropriate colors,
and the whole scene was typical of al
oriental fair. The ladies were in charge
last evening, and tonight the gentlemen
win direct proceedings, and hope to-
surprise their fair sisters. Supper
was served from $50 to 7.30 o'clock.
The India" booth was a feature OF
the fair, being arranged to give an APP

the two elements of the hair-cutting
fraternity. A very interesting squab-
bic is expected, however, when the
matter comes to a determining point,
and the outcome calls for general in
terest. The various details which will
become involved in the contest are
many and interesting The BARRIERS
bill, which viii come up for considera-
ton before the coming session of the
legislature, VIII be a prominent factor
in the proceedings. This bin, in the
first place, calls for the making of a
law demanding the proper eXamina
ton and registration of all who pretend
to be BARRIERS, and the initial step af-
ter the passage Of this law will be the
securing OF every registered barber as
member of the BARRIERS union in the
different sections of the state
At the outset, the union men can see
where they are winning ground pro-
Viding the proposed bill becomes a law.
They claim that the passage of the bill
will see the throwing out of large
number Of those who are "barbering''
now. Of course, this does not apply
to the veterans in the business. but il
will be emnently successful, they
think, in Kidding the trade Of the
school boy artists.
Concerning the schools, which are
the root of al the evil, all sorts of
statements are made, but so far as the
amateur practice is concerned. as il
applies to practice in union shops, lit
tie can be learned. Proprietors of the
shops where this amateur labor is en-
ployed say that is a question of union
or no union with the men and that is
all that has caused the trouble.

WAITING FOR DALTON.
High School Boys Anxious to Get Armory
for Drill Shed.

The pupils Of the high schools are
anXiously awaiting the reply from Adjt.
Gen. Dalton to the petition sent him,
asking for the use of the armory as a
drill shed for the military companies
that are to be formed in the school.
providing permission is obtained.
The forming of military companies
in the high school has been under con-
sideration for a long time, but the
lack of place for drill has hindered
its success. The principals of the
schools feel confident that Gen. Dalton
Will consent to allow the use of the
armory by the school.
The boys are not the only ones who
are awaiting his reply, as the girls
are forming a basket ball team and
are looking for suitable quarters to
train and play in. The feeling among
the girls is that If the boys secure the
armory as drill shed, there is no rea-
son why they should not be allowed
to use II to play basket ball.
Miss Frances Healy, physical direct
or of the Y. w. c. A., who has been
taking great interest in the forming OF
a team, was at the school yesterday
to make some arrangements, but, as
the reply of Gen. Dalton had not been
received, nothing was done.

SOCIALIST LABOR.
Campaign Of Education" Being Pushed
and Nominations Made.

Twenty thousand copies of the local
platform of the socialist-labor party
are to be distributed throughout the
city, and today the house to house
canvass Of the entire city begins in
earnest, the work being carried on I'M
til the municipal election is held. The
eight wards Of the city have been dis
tricted among the members Of the
party, and a copy of the platform as
adopted for the city campaign will be
left with every family where possible.
There will be from two to six workers
assigned to a ward, and by the cam
paign of education" as the socialists
call it, they hope to win q large and
appreciative vote.
One of the most important features
of the platform is it's drive at the Du-
buque law recently passed. The plat
form claims that all legislation of the
day is class legislation, and in proof
the party has adopted the following
plank:
"All legislation is class legislation,
This fact IS shown by the adoption by
this state, Of the Dubuque law This
makes 1t possible for the wage Garner
to be imprisoned for debt, while the
capitalist, through bankruptcy laws.
ETC., is enabled to avoid the payment of
has debts. Hence, wage workers, il
you want legislation in favor of your
class, vote for the party that repre-
sents your class interest. That party
is the socialist labor party"
Today the socialists will file their
nomination papers with the city clerk.
Aldermanic Candidate c. G. Marcy
has the matter in charge, and thinks
that he has the necessary signatures.
About five papers for endorsements
have been out, and about 200 have
signed. The percentage required is 8
per cent of the vote of the previous
year, and this would make the number
of signers necessary about $40, which
have been obtained. Last evening the
plan of campaign was discussed and

Heap, in arraignment of the two great
parties, which appeared in The Spy.

The Mayor May Appeal to
Courts Against CONSOLE

Mayor Dodge held a conference last
evening with City Solicitor Rugg at the
city hall, and as a result Mr.. Rugg said
that there could be no doubt that the

the sidewalk.
He thinks that the court would re-
strain it from so doing, and at the re-
quest of the mayor, he viii today con-

If upon consultation the company

time to have the streets kept in fit con-
dition for travel, and to that end has
