New England cities, but the effort
Wednesday evening will be the first
systematic attempt to have the de-
mands of the workingmen recognized
by the board of aldermen In this city.
The committee elected to represent the
central body of local labor unions. is
evenly balanced. President Pierce is
a convincing speaker, and his fellow
representatives have had local union
experience.
Carpenters and Joiners' union was
| recognized as an auxiliary to the Cen
trail Labor union at the meeting last
| evening, and these delegates were CIV

the secretary to call a meeting of bot
tiers and drivers for the formation o
a union Sunday afternoon. The nev
union will be known as Bottlers' auC

RESTING FOR A WHILE.
Proposition for goth Centu-
~ Methodist Thank
Offering.

The subject of the goth century thank
offering-of local Methodist churches is
resting for time, pending action on
the part of the quarterly conference of
each church. 1t is expected that such
conferences will be held in each case
before Sept 10. the date set for the
conclusion OF the matter and final Or
ganization of the thank Offering COM
mission. There have been some objec-
tions from various societies to joining
the commission, but it is thought these
represent only individual opinions and
that the great mass of members are
DESTROYS of joining the general move
ment toward raising the debts on local
Methodist churches, all of which, with
the exception of Laurel Street Church.
are burdened with financial obligations.
The method of raising the thank
offering has been the subject of con-
siderable discussion among the leaders
of the movement. 1t is understood that
A. B. r. Kinney favored fair as a
means of raising at least a part of it.
Other members of the committee
thought this would be a very unwise
course to pursue. Rev. Alonzo Sander
son voices the opinion of several that
such a fair as would be necessary to
make any considerable amount of
money would have to be so large as to
cut seriously into the business of local
merchants. The i'll win of the latter
would thus be incurred and this would
mean hostility to the movement from
those sources.
1t has come to be pretty generally
understood, therefore, that the best
method Of raising the money would be
by voluntary subscription, and it is
likely that a new committee will be
appointed in each church to canvass
for funds, or that the present thank Of
fering committees in each church will
do the work themselves. Those who
are best acquainted with the sentiment
in the various Methodist churches in
the city seem to think that the cash
will be forthcoming in large quantities
and there are already indications that
the amount aimed at by the Trinity
Church plan, $4,000, will be exceeded
in the three years in which the can
vass will be prosecuted.
