SOCIALISTS IN SESSION
Large Assemblage of European Work
 men at Hanover

Hanover, October 9.-The tenth annual socialist conference since the repeal of the socialist laws opened this morning in the Ballhof, which is tastefully decorated with laurel wreaths, red banners and the es- cuteheons of the various German cities. Ferns and flowers are grouped around an a,legorical figure of Liberty and busts of Ferdinand LasSalle, the originator of the social democratic movement in Germany; Karl Marx, the chief of the international socialists, and Egers. Places have been provided for the police commissioners and potce officers. who will attend the proceed ings on behalf of the government. There are 20 delegates, including representatives of Holland Sweden, Switzerland and Aus tiia, and Dr. Ardler, the Austrian socialist leader, who toward the end of this month must enter upon term of four weeks inn prisonment. to which he was recently sen tenced
 The delegates sit at tables along the whole length of the hall, and the scene presents rather the appearance of students at a symposium than of assembly of workingmen representing at least one fourth of the population of Germany. Herr Singer was unanimously elected presi- dent. After the formal proceedings an animated discussion arose over the ques- tion whether the comr had acted in the interests of socialism excluding from tho 'list of martyrs" published in the Vcrwaerts, the socialist organ, the labor CTS condemnation for taking part in the Dresden riots "A delegate hotly denounced the action of the committee and was re- peatedly called to order. The question was finally shelved by decision that the mat ter had been adequately ,thrashed out
 Munich delegates then moved that an in- terpella ton be submitted to the reichstag regarding tthe police prohibition of the dis semination of pamphlets containing cleo tioneering arguments in streets and public places, and also regarding the action of the postoffice authorities dn prohibiting the distribution of socialist literature of Sun day, because of which prohibition many socialists nave been fined for privately dis trioutng Their party's organs Herr Bebel contended that an interpolation was impos- sible in the absence of specific data, and tho motion was ted.
 Herr Llebnee'ht T read an inter-coro,- lary motion, exhorlintg socialists to take as active a share as possible in the nterna- tional socialist congress to be held at Paris France, in 1900. The motion was adopted and the conference adjourned

An Hone st Boy

From the Detroit Free Press
 While I was taking my vacation in the country" said a Griswold street fnancier. with reminiscent smile, "an old farmer drove into the little town where I was staying with load of watermeons. They were large and luscious, and the old man was soon surrounded by crowd of eager buyers. While the farmer was busily en- gagged in handing them out a small boy stole to the end of the wagon and managed to extract one without the old man see- ing him.
 Followed by two other boys the youth made off with it, and I couldn't help grin hing for thieving is a hard word to apply to watermelon and snIaii boy few minutes later l was surprised to see the youth returning with half of the melon under his arm and making for the spot where the old farmer had his wagon
 Here, said l to myself. is something l have read of in Sunday school books, but never witnessed before in real life That boys conscience IS prlclking him. and he is returning the melon to the farmer But I was mistaken.
 Look at that said the youth. with fine scorn in his voice, as he held up the half of a very green melon, is that the kind of stuff you sell feller? I want anudder one, see?''
 ''The old man grumbled a good deal, bu. finally handed over another one in its place, which the boy insisted he should plug to make sure that it was ripe.
 That boy will be heard from some day, and in bigger schemes than this, if my guess isn't all wrong"

SUES FOR REBATE.
w. III. Griffin Wants Some Rejected
License Money Returned.

w H Griffin is having q little argu-
ment in the civil branch of the municipal
court with the Pabst Brewing company,
having sued the company for $780, which
he claims to have paid the firm for a
Incense which he claims was never Sc
cured. The license was to have been pro-
cured for the place formerly conducted
at 80 East Seventh street by the mayor"
The brewing company deposited $1,000
for the license, but a protest against
granting the license was made to the
council, and the matter hung in allegiance
for some time, finally resulting in a re-
fusal to issue the license to Griffin Mean
time the mayor" had been conducting
the saloon and paying the brewing COM
pany $40 O. week, he claims, until the
sum aggregated $3.50.
Grif1n's contention is that as there was
no license during the time he conducted
his saloon business, he Is entitled to~ the
return Of the money paid the company
by him, because the city wouldn't &C
cept the license which the company Of
fered. Since the company does not have
to pay anything, he claimed he should not
have been compelled to pay the company
Judge Orr has taken the case under con-
sideration.
