Peaceful Ending of the Joint Convention
at Chicago.

Peaceful Ending of the Joint Convention
at Chicago.
Chicago. Jan. 2s.-The Joint miners
convention has adjourned sine die.
and miners and operators have
gone home, both feeling happy at
the conclusions reached. Three hun
dred thousand men have been CIV
en- an advance in wages equal to 10
cents a ton on all mine products in the
bituminous field. beginning April l, 1888
That the peaceful settlement of the
many questions involved will have far
reaching consequences, both miners and
operators admit. 1t will in the future
reduce the chances OF strike, such as
that of 1897, to a minimum. II not wipe
them out altogether.
A system of arbitration is inaugural
ed for the settlement OF such local dis
putes as may arise in districts. State
boards will dispose of matters affect
ing two or more fields, and an interstate
board will adjust differences which may
arise between the miners and operators
Of different states. The present work.
ing rules remain in force until April l
next when the new agreement goes
into effect in the four states involved.
A committee is engaged in drawing up
the scale contract, which will be signed,
printed and then distributed as soon as
possible. The Illinois miners, too, are
engaged in arranging their local diff
ferentials.

Had n Long n end.

A story has been quietly told about the
hotels al late concerning the shrewdness
OF certain knight of the grip who has
gone down the road. and, as he has left
the city, it will be safe to TIL it. The
drummer 10 question has been on the
rosd for a long time and il onto about
all the tricks OF one OF his craft, which is
saying a good deal.
The other day soon alter he struck
to,. n he met a few OF his old ere " aies
and they decided to get "out for a time"
that same eyading. One OF the things
this sbrewd drummer knew was that gen.
orally when he got out with "the boys"
it cost him a good deal. "The boys"
prov'd entire'y too much for him and it
wasn't long before his head began to
SWIM aud he began to sye things. 1t was
then that he bethought himself OF seeing
to it, while his mind was somew hat
clear, that he dIdh't spend all his money.
He had not been on the road very long
this trip and still had roll OF some $140
in his inside pocket. la the intentness OF
his purpose to put the money somewhere
SO that he would not get at it and it
would be safe. he tucked 1t under the rim
OF his hat.
Now, the boys kept things humming in
good style for the better part OF the
night and when he retired be didn't
know. whether he had hat or not.
The next morning his head was alto
gether too large for the hat
and he couldn't remember much OF what
had happened the night before except
that he could not find his money. He
had been touched" This information
he promptly told the proprietor Of the
house and demanded satisfaction. A
hunt was instituted, but no money
showed up and the whole hotel force was
looking for the lost roll, but it could not
be found, Then the boarders we're asked
to join tine hunt, but the missing green
backs failed to put in an appearance '
The drummer was 90 much put ont by
the loss that he got out for another
"time" and it was then that his memory
came back to him and he remembered
where he had stored his money. He
quietly informed the proprietor OF the
fact. but left on the next train before the
rest Of the travelling men had Q chance to
get back at him.

Address by Rev. ,. N. kerridse
uusiesl and Literary Numbers Con
rfbute 10 the oeessi Mere
nony Was Impressive.

I'm observance oi a time-honored cue
tom OF the Ancient Orceroi United Work
men the local lodge held memorial eIer-
eises last evening IN honor Of the de-
parted trethen Of the lodge. The e1er-
eises were very interesting and we're
well rendered by members OF the order
and their families and friends. The pro-
gram given was a delightful one, but the
one prepared was not given IN It's en-
tirety. DIR. Hunter who was down Tor an
address was unable 10 be present and
sent word TO that effect at the last mo-
ment.
The meeting opened with a prayer BY
Rev. ]. NJ. Kerridge and then the hrst
number, a quartette selection by Nessrs.
and Misses Mitchell and Johns delighted
the audience. Prot. T. Wills gave a
recitation in bis inimitable manner and
Mr., and Mrs. GlanvilIe then gave a vocal
duet which was heartily appreciated. A
violin duet by Prof. Arndt and Master
Albert Volker was given hearty encore
and fully appreciated az was also the
instrumental duet by Frank and W.
Mitchell.
Rev. M. Kerridge then gave his address
speaking in particular OF theiDhuence the
daily life OF everyone gave to those in
whose sphere they moved. His talk was
full OF good points and gave plenty oil
opportunity for thought. The Presby-
riaD choir then gave selection, and
trio OF Mrs. Harte, Messrs. Warren and
Scott rendered an instrumental selection.
Messrs. King and Cowley followed with
an instrumental duet aud after this Mr..
King gave a solo on the euphonium. All
ofthese numbers were heartily applauded.
Albert Yolker was called upon for an
other violin solo nnd the Johns quar-
tette closed the musical part OF the pro-
gram. Mr.. Joseph Chynoweth then gave
a short but very interesting talk on the
benefits OF belong to a beneficiary order
OF this kind and OF particularly one OF so
broad a scope as the Workmen He
spoke OF the fact that this society in-
Guided 10 its membership those who
worked in the bowels Of the earth for
their daily bread and barred no one on
account OF their occupation. This closed
the evenings program.
Most OF the local members of the Work
men appear TO be in favor OF the adop.
ton OF the classified plan Of assessment.
Mr.. John II. Grigg will attend the meet
Ing OF the grand lodge next month at
Grand Rapids IA a representative OF the
local lodge. 1t il thought that the class
flied plan will certainly be adopted at
that meeting. Ii has largely been adop.
ted in many states OF the union, and
Michigan Is sure TO fall in line. The
Workmen today are stronger than any
other order OF the kind and il ia thought
the membership will be increased great
many fold "a soon az the new plan is
adopted. The lodge is one OF the most
popular in the country and includes Ia
its membership many OF the best men OF
the country. A canvass OF the different
lodges OF the state in regard to the adop-
ton OF the new plan OF assessment lie said
to have resulted in 20 per cent OF the
lodges iavoring it,.

rules were REVISED by committee OF the
Western Association aud must now be
submitted to the different universities

nized az authority on the subject. But
there is every probability .oi favorable
action and this win mean that the same
changes will be adopted by the different
high school clubs about the country.
The alteration has been sweeping.
The system OF scoring has been compile o.
ly changed. The goal secured alter a
touchdown is slated tor only one addi-
tional point. A drop kick is given four,
the plate kick three, and the safety for
two points. There is no requirement for
seven pen on the line as heretofore, but
the liuesmen back shall be outside OF the
scrimmage. Acknowledgment against
roughness Is that imposing distance pen.

lore the ball is put into play.
Another importabt alteration is that
OF permitting the obe scored against the
privilege OF kicking of. There are sever.
al other changes proposed which tend to
modify the game in many ways aud
give more opportunity Tor scientific play.

In view of the cheap Orders now
working throughout the country,
and especially those who make It
their business to assure Workmen
that they can furnish them the same
protection at one-third or one-ha1f OF
what they are paying, it seems neg
essary to say 10 the Brethren that
there are no bargains in life insur-
ance any more than there are bar
gains in gold dollars. Nature has
established the rates of mortality
and these are the same to men OF
like ages irrespective of what form
of organization they may be enroll
ed in. The cost of actual protection,
stripped OF all expense elements, Is,
therefore, substantially the same in
one institution as in another; no de-
vice whatever can make it other
wise. The average assessment to
members in the A. Q. L. w. is still
less than the actual average natural
cost, and societies who are offering
it Tor less, are either Intentionally or
ignorantly attempting to deceive,
and whoever yields to their seduc-
tions will find this to be true at no
late day in the future.

Other Jurisdictions are beginning

Legislation upon the matter of death
losses from suicide.
The Golden Rod Workman, OF
Nebraska, says there have been 80
deaths from suicide in that Juris-
diction, costing the members 500 600
The record of other Jurisdictions
would be found to be equally as
great, compa paratively.
Montana and Oregon have already
legislated upon the question.
Adopted by the Montana Grand
Lodge:

shall be from suicide, whether sane
or insane, before have been a mem
Der of this Order two years. that

BILE to any beneficiary named in my

Adopted by the Oregon Grand
Lodge:

About Suspensions. y.

| The most fruitful cause of trouble
in any traternal Order is non-pay-
ment of assessments on the part of
members. Suspension naturally
and inevitably follows. The MEM
Der whose neglect caused the trouble
is almost always the only one respon-
sible, yet, not unfrequently, he lays
the blame on some one else, thinks
himself ill-used, and in the majority
OF cases he abuses the Order as hav-
ing done him wrong and being
henceiorth unworthy of confidence.
| We want our members to under
stand that the individual member
and his beneficiary are of all parties
most interested in keeping his stand
ing good. If those personally con-
cerned neglect the vital matter OF
paying assessments is it to be expect
ed that others will interest them
selves in what is to them of no per
sonal consequence? 1t is expecting
too much OF the fraternal spirit to
look to it for the discharge OF the
duty that belongs to the individual
member. The fraternal spirit is VIC
lated by the members who shift to
the court the duty that is first theirs.
If a Brother is in hard luck, his
court will not suffer him to become
suspended. If the favor is worth
having it is worth asking for. You
should not expect the Financial Sec
retary of the court to pay your as
sessments for you. The duty and
benefits are yours. Let each mem
ber pay his way-promptly and
cheeriully-and then suspensions,
the bane of fratcrnaliSm, will disap-
pear.-IIldebeItdent Forester.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1898-03-26

Experience of the past has demon
strated that the "insurance plan"
tagged on to Fraternal Order by
permission of their Supreme Body,
is not stable one. 1t may last few
years, but it is not perpetual. If a
Fraternal Order has merit enough
to attract to its folds men who desire
fraternal and social relations, let it
be operated on that basis. If the
Order is designed for fraternal and
beneficiary purposes, make it obliga-
tory for every member to carry pro-
lection. In thus carrying out the
intent of the Order, strength and re-
liability is assured. These are, how
ever, lost sight of wher set OF
members are granted permission to
