good business they are doing;
for their beautiful homes, sur
rounded by trees and shrubbery;
for our excellent schools, churches,
and social privileges which are
excelled noplace i'll the state.
Our young people should be
thankful for the wonderful oppor-
tunities that lie before them in
the way of business openings and
professional lines; opportunities
not enjoyed by the youth of the
older states where everything is
over-done, and where only the
wealthy can be prosperous.
Personally, the editor of the
DEMOCRAT is thankful for all the
things enumerated above, and
many more. We are thankful
that our efforts to make a paper
that the public appreciate are
apparently successful; thankful
that during nearly fourteen years
that we-have published the DEMO
Graf we have had no occasion
to enter the courts either as
plaintiff or defendant; that we
believe we hold the confidence
and good will of most people
with whom we have come in con-
tact, and that we have been given
health and vigor to pursue our
chosen calling.
Let us all, then, be thankful for
the many blessings which the
Divine VIII has seen fit to bestow
upon us.

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly was held yesterday afternoon
with Vice President Duffy in the chair.
President Tighe is attending the annual
convention of the Amalgamation in De-
troit. There was good attendance of
delegates, and a lively interest was
manifested in the proceedings. Gre
dentials were presented and delegates
obligated as follows:
Local No. SO, brewery workers, Otto
| Ebert and Herman Dipka.
Local Division 103, street railway en-
ployes-John ]. Byrne and P. Stanton.
The statement was made that COM
mittee of clerks was in the ante-room
and desired a hearing. They were
granted the privilege of the floor, and
stated that they desired to inaugurate
an early closing movement A series
of questions developed the fact that
the clerks are not organized, but would
support of the Trades Assembly. Upon
motion of Delegate Bauer, the case was
referred to the Organization Commit
tee, and in case of necessity, to the Ar
bitration Committee.
The striking street car workers re-
quested the Assembly to declare boy
colts on certain merchants. The re-
quest grows out of the directory of the
railway company. The matter provoked
considerable discussion, which was
finally ended by the adoption of a mo-
tion to refer the matter to the Arbi-
tration Committee for consideration
and report.
The Legislative Committee reported
that a committee of three from the
direct legislation league would act in
conjunction with the committee on
electric light franchise A discussion
followed, in which the proposed fran
chise grant for new street car line
was mentioned. Upon motion of Secre-
tary Salisbury, the Legislative Com
mittee was instructed to thoroughly
investigate the purpose of the Peoples
Electrical Company.
The Arbitration Committee reported
an amicable settlement between the
butchers union and two recalcitrant
members, who have agreed to enter the
union.
A delegate offered a substitute for
action on the request of the street rail-
way employees, providing for boycott
on merchants. 1t was ruled out of or
der. The official board reported its &C
ton relative to the letter from Cover
nor Atkinson, and the arrangements so
far made for the mass meeting on
Wednesday night.
Several communications, relative to
boycotts and other matters, were re-
ceived and filed.
The question of music for the mass
meeting was brought up, and after
short discussion the Assembly decided
to have no music unless it is given vol
UNFAIRLY and without charge.
Inquiries made of street railway en-
ployes relative to the necessity for fin
ancial assistance, brought out the in
formation that they were very badly
in need of money. The strikers an
nounced that they have made arrange
ments for big picnic at the fair
grounds on June 10th.
After adjournment Of the Assembly
the Executive Board held meeting to
arrange for the mass meeting Wednes-
day night. A telegram from Stuart
New. of Toledo, notified the Assembly
of his acceptance of an invitation to
be present. The names Of other speak
ers are withheld until arrangements
are completed.

THE SEA SERPENT.
The Monster now Appears on the
British Coast.

Very little has been heard of the sea
serpent for some time, but creature.
which, it is stated, closely resemh
that monster of tradition, has, it APP
pears, been discovered off Stonehayen,
a town about sixteen miles south of
Aberdeen. Towards the end of last
week, at about IL o'clock in the morn
ing, the fishing boat Lily
was returning to Stonehaven from
the paddock grounds, when the atten-
ton of the skipper, Alexander Taylor.
was directed to something floating on
the surface of the sea about a hundred
yards off the coast. Thinking that the
object might be a body, the skipper or
dered one of his crew to be in read
mess with boat hook to take it on
board when passing, for it was right in
their course. But what was their con-
sternation when they approached
closer to see the thing rear itself part
ly out of the water and swim Stewards
across their bows. The boat was now
only fifty yards away, and the crew
could see the strange creature quite
clearly. The skipper describes it as
having a Back somewhat like the up
turned bottom of ship, on which were
two fms twenty feet apart, about the
size of the sails of a small boat, which
they closely resembled. Behind one fin
was pTotuberance of the shape of a
cagnel's hump. The body was of a
blush color, and in appearance the
head was much fatter than that of a
whale. The monster went short dis
lance out to sea, and, describing cir
Gle, turned and passed the boat again,
this time in the rear. At intervals it
raised its head high out Of the water,
and spouted in the manner Of a whale,
the only difference being that it took
shorter period to blow. The skipper
of the boat describes the part Of the
creature that was visible as being
twice the length Of his 34-foot boat.
He did not see it's tail end, so that
there is no knowing what its total
length might have been. 1t seems i'm
possible that the fishermen could have
mistaken the animal for a whale at
such short distance, as whales are
quite familiar to the traWlers of the
northeast coast of Scotland Taylor
tells his story clearly and without hes
itation, and his crew vouch for the
veracity Of his statements, which are,
in measure, corroborated by the fact
that in the early morning of the same
day the crew of another boat heard an
unusual splashing and blowing as they
were leaving Stonehaven harbor
Owing to the dense fog which prevailed
at that early hour, however, they were
unable to discover the cause of the
disturbance. London Daily Tele
