THE FINAL SESSION HELD
AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION DELE
GATES ELECT OFFICERS.
The Next Meeting VIII BE Held in
MiIwaukee-The Wage Scale
as Adopted.

Yesterday the convention OF the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers closed after a session of two
weeks and a half with the election of Of
icers. President T. j. Shaffer. Secretary
treasurer John Williams, Assistant Secre-
tary E. r. Tighe. all of Pittsburg. were
unanimously reelected. Assistant Presi-
dent Ben L. Davis was made editor and
manager of the Amalgamated Journal, and
Thomas Mansell. of New Philadelphia, o..
was elected assistant president. The trus-
tees elected are j. II. Morgan, of Cam
bridge, o.; George Pate. Of Youngstown,
o.; John Pierce, of P%ittsburg. Pa. The vice

that were elected are: First district, David

MCGOWAN, of Birmingham, Ala: eighth
district, John c. Chapel, of New Castle,
Pa. The next convention will be held in
Milwaukee the third Tuesday in May. 1901.
After the convention adjourned there re-
manned one thing yet to be done before the
delegates returned home. That was to buy
presents for their children. This custom
has become so thoroughly established that
it is now considered a part of the pro-
gramme of the convention. All yesterday
afternoon delegates could be seen going
towards their hotels with arms full of
various sized parcels. So natural has this
become to those attending the conventions
that as Secretary Williams put the last
official document In his grip he mechani-
cally turned and said, well. now / must
get something for the children and then
/ will be through"
The iron scale as given out after the con-
vention adjourned is the same as was
printed in the Journal at the time it was
adopted by the convention. 1t raises the
base from Ia cents at S. a ton to Is cents
at $3.50 a ton, which at the present price
of iron. raises the wages of puddlers from
IS a ton TO s6.25. The same advance holds
good as to %scrapping and busheling, BUSH
cling on sand bottom, knobbing, heating,
slabbing and Singing. bar and twelve
inch mills and open cotton tie mills.

SHOW A DISAPPOINTMENT.


Buckskin Bills Wild West show. which
gave two exhibitions on the West Wash.

ought to he a money-making concern, since
almost everything connected with it
formers-presents an appearance of cheap
ness. There were only two acts on the te-
dious. long-drawn-out programme which
were deserving Of special mention. These
were the ground and lofty tumbling feats
xecuted by a group Of five Arabs and the
fancy shooting of Elmer Mendenhall. The
Arabs were the best performers of the kind
ever seen here. Many of their a~crobatic
feats would scarcely be attempted by
American tumblers. Unusual interest at

If the man introduced as "Buckskin Bill
was the m~uch-vaunted hero in person. then
candor compels the statement that he was
a tremendous disappointment. In appear
ance he was decidedly commonplace. and
his shooting ability was so sadly lacking
that he was greeted with a storm of de-
risive laughter. There was a large-sized
band of Indians with the organization, and
fine specimens. too. but they seemed af-
fected with spring fever which prevent
ed them from enthuSing as much as the
small boys would nave liked. The cowboys
rode at full speed and picked up objects
from the ground, participated in several
milk and watery border ARRAYS, did some
more or less clever lassoing and took part
in the final races. There was a group of
"cowgirls." 10 whom money comes very
easily il they do not have to work harder
than they did yesterday TO earn their SAL
aries. The usual Indian "massacray'-as IL
was termed by the announcer-took place,
but failed TO provoke much enthusiasm. A
little thrill of excitement went through the
big audience when the "horse thief was
caught and dragged over the ground at the
end of a rope a considerable distance to the
spot where he was finally hanged" A
small boy sitting on the ground raised quite
a laugh during the progress of this act by
calling out in a ludicrously superior man.

ADJUSTMENTS.


The Carnival OF Romances" will be CIV
en- tomorrow night and Saturday at Eng
lish's, for the benefit of st. Paul's Church.
Especially pleasing to the little folks will
be the opening number. THE Birth of the
Butterflies" where sixty little girls will be
costumed In all the colors of the rainbow,
and. from their position and arrangement
on the stage, will form the outline of an
immense butterfly. The scene opens in the
forest. just before day dawns. when the
Queen OF the Night walks abroad, chances
upon Titania asleep on a messy bank,
rouses her from her slumbers, when the
little Queen waves her magic wand, and
numbers of little butterflies emerge from
their cocoons and form one of the most
childlike and fascinating tableaux that it
Is possible to arrange for the amateur
stage.
The second act will show the factory girls
from the opera Carmen" singing their
famous chorus, in which Carmen and
the love song will be executed.
Tn third act will show 2 palace of the
great Mikado. where forty nimble young
sters frolic under the glare of the brilliant
lights.
TIL fourth act will present the gavotte
and chorus from "Erminie," where eight
couples or the younger society element will
dance and sing one of the best selections
from this charming opera
The NTH act will give a glimpse of one
or the most pleasing scenes from the opera
-Girone-Girofa,' and the w~ell-known
drinking song will be sung by the dancers
and grand chorus.
The sixth number, and next to the last.
will reveal a delightful picture of English
rural life. and viii be in the nature of an
English garden party given by her lady
ship, the Duchess of York. Eight couples of
society people will be enjoying a game of
whist, using rocking chairs and will sing
the Rocking Lullaby" or My Bed is
Like a Little Boat"
The carnival will then swing into the
cIosing number. The Gypsy Queen" which
will prove a brilliant finale TO the enter
taining programme. The carnival promises
to be one of the best amateur perform
Snces ever put on In this city. The seats
are now on sale at Engiish's box office.

the Second Church. but when the Fourth

II would not be possible to measure the
