the house. One day large sample case
arrived by express at hotel in little
town not far up the country, and on one
side was the familiar dynamite lettering.
The luggage had been sent ahead Of a
traveller who was expected next day.
and, being on to the cracker factory gag,
the clerk thought he would have some
fun with a green porter who had just
been engaged. Calling the man into the
office, he pointed out the case and told
him to carry 1t up stairs The porter
read the inscription and turned pale as
death.
"'Scuse me, sir, but I'd rather not
touch that thing he said.
"'Oh, bosh!' replied the clerk. What
are you afraid Off and walking over to
the grip he gave it kick that sent it half
across the Office. The porter let out a
yell like Comanche and started for the
door. There's no danger in dynamite
said the clerk, giving the thing few
more jolts, and il you don't take it up
stairs right away I'll certainly have you

very gingerly and, holding 1t at arms
length. began to mount the stairs. Sew

into him on the way, and when he return

course everybody had big laugh. and
the matter was forgotten until next
morning, when black whiskered gentle
man walked in and wrote his name on
the register.
"I had my grip sent on ahead he re-
marked as he laid down the pen. Has it
arrived yet?'
"'Yes, SIR said the clerk. It's here
all right. How is the cracker business?

stranger looking surprised. I'm not in

clerk, getting white about the gills.

VIM. c. WHITNEY, who held a po-
sition in ex-President Cleveland $
Cabinet, says that Cleveland is the
only man who can lead the Demo-
cratic party to victory. He lead
the party to victory twice. once in
1884 and again in 1892. But he
was dead issue in 1896, having
placed all the Federal Offices posi-
BILE under civil service, which gave
him black eye with his party.
The Democratic party does not be-
lieve in civil service and this will be
the straw that will break up the
Republican party. With nothing
to gain, what is the use Of Kepub-
licans voting?

HELD OUT EIGHT YEARS
JOSEPH GARDNER, A TIMER, NOW
AGREES TO UNIONIZE HIS SHOP.
The COOpers' Strike Il Discussed by
Central Labor DeleSates-The
Next Meeting.

At the Central Labor Union meeting last
night it was reported by the timers dele
gate that Joseph Gardner, who has been
under boycott for about eight years, had
agreed to unionize his shop, and the matter
was referred to the grievance committee
for settlement.
The coopers strike was discussed. A dele
gate from the coopers' union asked the as
sistance of all other unions, saying the
strike was justifiable and that under pres
ent prices experienced mechanics in that
line were unable to earn more than 81 day
on an average Many were working fer 20
cents per day. 1t was claimed the material
elsewhere. and that on account Of the re-
quirements of the consumer and the skill
of the workmen the finished product was
superior to any similar product in the
United States.
Yesterday the men were notified that
they could either go back to work or take
their tools from the shop. Two men took
their effects away and others will do So
Labor Commissioner l.. z. Mccormick said
mis- investig ationS confirmed the claims of
the coopers and he thought their conten-
lions were just. The wage scale in Indian
apolis, he said, was from 5 to 10 cents per
package less than in other parts of the
country. The coopers say they will hold
out, and conference yesterday between
+. w. Brandt, one of the master coopers,
and three delegates from the union resulted
in no change.
Christmas day, the meeting was postponed
until Dec. 2S

The announcement that Mcintyre and

yesterday afternoon drew a large crowd
despite the bad weather that prevailed.
These popular entertainers have sur
rounded themselves with corps of clever
artists, and the performance proved highly
pleasing. The programme is a straight
vaudeville one. consisting of eight acts of
considerable merit. 1t began with an ex-
hibition of dexterity In the manipulation
of Indian clubs by Derenda and Breen,
American boys. Some new and daring fig
ures were executed. quite different in parts
from those usually shown. McWatters and

of the entertainment was the unique exhi-
bition of rapid modelling in clay, given by
Bicknelle, THE Model Baker" from the
Folies Bergeres. Paris. THE Young
America Quintette.' a band of Juvenile
singers, contributed a musical turn Of un-
usually high order. Wilton and Lamar
tine performed some wonderful feats on
the triple horizontal bars. setting at
naught all preconceived notions as to the
limit of human agility. Another fine ac-
robatic turn was done by the three Ne
veros, European ndbalancers. One men,
Der of this trio displayed phenomenal
strength and cleverness. The programme
was brought to a pleasing finish by the
familiar sketch of Mcintyre and Heath.
who always have something funny to say.
Altogether the entertainement given by
these comedians and their co-workers Is
entitled to take rank with the best seen at
the Park.
Mcintyre and Heaths comedians will re-
main the entire week with the usual mat
inees.
