Vention:
The nineteenth session of the American
Federation of Labor has concluded its
work and it's transactions are now mat
ter of history. While in many respects
the Detroit meeting was a notable one,
particularly in point of interest and at
tendance there is yet a somewhat di-
NerEent tone expressed by a few of the
returning delegates which would indicate
a lack of complete unanimity. One dele

thc debates too VOluminous and general,

A SAILORS GRATITUDE.
a Novel Paper Weight Ne Has Designed
As n Present

Edward McGarry, the sailor of the
Resolute who was pardoned from
Portsmouth jail by Gov. Rollins, where
he was serving a six months sentence
for disorderly conduct, has gone home
to Norfolk, Va, says the Manchester
IN. H. Union. Before leaving he made
from piece OF the aft rail Of the
United States steamship Maine paper
weight, which Lawyer John II. Bart
lett, who was his counsel, has forward
ed to Gov. Rollins. The design was
suggested by McGarry. The top bears
the inscription, Edward McGarry 10
Gov. Rollins" while on the reverse is
neatly engraved, made from the art
rail of the u. 8. s. Maine"
McGarry is an artist as well as
sailor and has drawn sketch or an
other paper weight which he Is to have
made. When speaking of 1t he said:
Il wanted to show my appreciation or
what your governor did for me. The
metal of which that paper weight is
made came from the United States
AhdihIy NV - $4,000 ~----
Dor. L took ii from the wreck myself.
with view of having a large paper
weight made to present to the COVER
nor Of Maine. This little token which
l am now having made to send to Gov.
Rollins is a hurried affair. l am going
to give him better one. Here is
picture of 1t which l have designed.
You see. the base is to represent a
rough rock, typical of a sailor. On the
top you see a sailors hat, with the
band u. s. s. Resolute upon it, while
upon the top of the hat you see pair
of handouts, the connecting link OF
which has been cut in two by quill
pen"
The whole affair will weigh nearly a
pound and half and engraved upon a
little tablet on the face of the rock will
be the words, Gov. Rollins freed a
sailor of the Resolute."
On the bottom of the weight Will be
engraved: Presented to Gov. r. w
Rollins in remembrance of the kind
ness shown Edward McGarry OF the
u. S. s. Resolute."
