PLAN COMPLETED.
Union of French Beneficial Associations
an Assured Fact.

The plans for the amalgamation of
the French mutual benefit association
in America have been completed. The
movement for the placing of these So
cieties under one head has been going
on since the last convention of the ST.
John Baptiste Society held in Holyoke
last year.
The plan was drawn up by a special
committee which will report to the
next convention.
The name of the proposed organiza-
ton is the Union st. John Baptiste of
America. The aim of the society I'M
der the new name is to preserve the
French language and religion as far as
possible without violating the laws and
customs of the country. The union has
for its object mutual insurance based
on solid principles and in accordance
with their own interests; also, to i'm
prove the moral, social and intellectual
standard of the FrenchCanadian peo-
pie. 1t is a secret society approved by
the church of Rome.

GOOD ENGLISH PLUCK.
1t Characterized the Life of
the Late John Ed
win Smith.

John Edwin Smith was born in Shir-
ley, Mass, on the 21st day of August,
1882. His fathers name, John, his
mothers, Clarissa Worcester, and his
own indicate his English ancestry; and
his ancestry might be said to equally
indicate the man. English pluck" has
long been the commonplace to summar-
lie the traits which shade into physical
bravery and endurance on the one side
and into independence of thought and
devotion to an ideal on the other. Pa
thence, persistence, constancy, courage
and resolution are some of the names by
which we know them. Add to these an
enterprise to conceive, a practical wis
dom which somehow makes things go
and accomplishes results, a love of out
door life and nature and a fidelity TO
home and family, and you have the
qualities that have always pre-eminent-
" characterized the typical English
man.
In business those racial traits of Mr..
Smith showed themselves in a large
view of affairs. and ability equally to
plan for distant ends and to direct de-
tails, knowledge of men, knack of
directing their energies and getting
from them their best effort, a remark
able foresight, a rare judgment in prac-
teal matters, a rigid punctuality in
meeting all obligations upon time or
purse-in everything in which execu-
tive genius conscientiously exercised
could be shown. Success could not with
stand such an assault, and her early
surrender inevitably followed. To name
the following of the positions of re-
sponsibility filed by Mr.. Smith, is to
indicate the scope of his business ac-
tivities and the trust repOsed in him
by others. He was a trustee In the Wor-
cester Mechanics Savings Bank for
quarter of a century, and its president
from 1888 until his death: he was direc-
tor in the Mechanics National Bank
for as long a period; a director Of the
Massachusetts Central railroad from

ELKS RETURN.
Have Great Time at Grand Lodge ses-
sons in ST. Louis.

The Worcester delegation which at
tended the grand lodge session of the
order of Elks at st. Louis, returned yes
terday on the 9.34 o'clock train. The
local delegation consisted of Charles w.
Parker, John E. Sullivan, Julius c.
Zaeder, William E. Lancaster, George
C. Start, George Bieberbach and Peter
st. German of Baskerville
The returning members of the delega-
ton were unanimous in saying that the
grand lodge sessions were the biggest
in fine history of the Elks. The city of
ST Louis was filled to overlooking with
visiting delegates. 1t was way and far
ahead of the New Orleans session OF
last year in point of numbers, though it
was said that New Orleans has still the
reputation of the best entertainers.

SHORTAGES OF TRAINMEN.
Local Lines Find Themselves Tn
able to Handle More Cars.

In the general cry that has gone up our
iEg the past summer regarding the short
age of labor In Seattle for railroad and
other work the difficulty OF securing SUI
ficient skilled men TO operate trains on the
coast divisions OF the various lines has
been overlooked. The situation as summed
up yesterday by local railroad man is
that were II posssbie 10 secure sufficient
cars to carry of the congested business
that has accumulated on Puget sound. on
all lines. IL would be a physical impossible
f,y TO secure engineers, f1remen and train
crews 20 operate them
This IL the reason said the same Of
fetal yesterday why railroad compa MES
on the Pacific coast are compelled 10 ask
their employees to work overtime. The sit
uatson cannot be bettered at this time any
more than construction laborers can be had
10 complete the work on hand on the coast
by nearly every lire here.
During the past thirty days nearly 1890
Italians who are recognized as the best
class OF labor on construction work nave
left the coast and Western states They
cannot be induced to work In winter and
so the railroads are worse of today than
they were four weeks ago. great dea!
of the Improvement work planned for the
coast this year will have TO be abandoned
until another season.
Just so long as this deartn Of train
operators continues there Is no need of
crying shortage OF freight cars. for il
we had them We could not move them
