The Common Man and the Ideal wife
A wife's position in the estimation
OF her husband Is always what she is
not what she claims to be. Men soon
forget what they have said themselves,
but their memories are ~singularly re-
tentive Of what their wives have said
Of them. Only a woman Of ignoble
nature fosters her husbands weak
nesseB; a true wife always holds him
up to his best: without dattsry she
makes him feel that she Is his fonCest
admirer. Before no slightest reVela-
ton OF the godlike does man ever
stand irreverent," says Carlyle-least
Of all when he sees It in the woman
Of his heart and home. More men arc
made better by women than by the
church. Men are grateful for forbear-
ance Ia their wives. For often while
asserting most loudly that they are
right, they are frequently conscious
that they are wrong Given a little
time and a little silence they viii often
show in actions-rarely in words-that
they have been mistaken. A nan ex-
poets his wife to be better than he. No
matter how little religion a man may
have himself, his ideal wife is always
a woman with the purity Of soul that
only a Christian can have; and to a
good man It is usually part Of his
religion to believe that his wife is
morally higher and nobler than him
self. No man likes his wife to be his
mere echo, but there are times when
he wants to be agreed with, when It
seems sweet and soothing and sympa-
thetic to feel that his Judgment guides
her. and that she accepts his estimate
OF men and things. He will be the
more ready to think with her upon
other occasions.

BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL.
Delegates From Hodcnrriers' Union,
No. - Admitted.

The Building Trades Council held its
regular weekly meeting at 1904 Pennsyl-
yania Avenue last night. The committee
on credentials reported favorably on the
delegation from Bricklayers' Union No.
and they were obligated. A grievance COM
mittee reported that the principal bosses
had refused to employ all-union plasterers
and fathers. The committee recommend
ed that the employers be placed on the
unfair list The chief reason for the
failure of the fathers to win their point
is said to be due TO lack of aid from the
plasterers.
A letter from Thomas L. Jones was read,
requesting in behalf of Hodcarriers' IN
ion No 2 that the organization be admit
ted into the council. Ii appears that the.
union sent delegates to the council several
weeks ago, but they were refused admis-
sion, Hodcarriers' Union No. 1 having in
terposed an objection. Last night it was
announced that the credentials of the del
egates had been examined and the obiec
tion Of Union No. l Withdrawn. The coun-
Gil agreed to admit Union No. g. The Office
of fraternal delegate was declared vacant,
this action being occasioned through non
attendance of the incumbent. E. l.. Lomax
was elected to fill the vacancy. Delegates

ported that on Labor Day they would make

A SUIT OVER BOOKS.
Court Asked to Restrain Their De-

A bill of complaint was filed in equity
by the Statute Law Book Company, through
Attorneys Webb and Webb yesterday,
against James H. Thomas, former en-
ploye of the concern, and Constables Charles
A. Darling and Stephen B. Callahan.
Thomas, it appears from the statements
set forth in the complaint, was discharged
from the service of the company about Au-
gust o. 1t is asserted that ne afterward
claimed ownership of four manuscript vol
umes, belonging, it is alleged by the COM
plainant, to the company. The volumes
contain an inventory of all the books and
other stock of the company, in addition to
much photographed and other information
of great value, and absolutely essential for
the proper prosecution OF the business of
the company. The bill states that Thomas
caused the books TO be repleyened and that
they were taken by the constables under
the authority contained in two writs issued
by Justice O'Neil
Constable Darling found some of the
books in the possession of Theodore L. Cole,
President of the company, and Constable
Callahan obtained the other books by writ
of repleven from the West End National
Bank. The complainant prays that Darling
and Callahan be restrained by order or the
court from delivering the manuscript vol
umes TO Thomas until he has proved his
legal title also that the volumes be placed
