Develops Opposition.

During the debate on the resolutions some
opposition to their adoption was developed
for the reason, declared, that it was i'm
proper for the Central Labor Union, which
Is a labor body exclusively, to participate in
the factional disputes of any party in the
District
One Of the most earnest opponents of
the resolutions expressed the opinion that
they will be made capital of by one Of the
present contending factions. and that it
was not the purpose of the Central Labor
Union to favor any political faction or
party.
communication was read from me sec
rotary of the National Boot and Shoe Max
ers' Union at Boston, Mass. asking the
Central Labor Union to request the shoe
dealers here to sell only those goods as
bear the union label. The matter was re-
ferred to the label- committee.
communication was also read from the
Coopers' International Union, Local No
80. at Cincinnati, Ohio, requesting that the
Central Labor Union ascertain whether or
not the breweriesiihere. are using exclusive
ly made union cooperage and if the replies
are in the negative to request them to do
SO. The request was referred to the Brew
ery Workers Union. -

DOG AND PUPPY CRATES.
Made for Handling the Animals in
Transportation.
tFrom the View York Sun. J


The dog that is shipped by express is
safety but also in comfort. There are va
rious kinds of dog crates made especially
for such use, some of them hat-topped and
some of those OF later design gable-topped
and some oval-topped so that nothing can
be placed on top of them. Dog crates are
made in various sizes as well as styles,
some with open, Slated sides and ends,
some closed all around, except for the
open spaces left for ventilation. Crates
for bulldogs and dogs that gnaw are made
with Stats that, whether separated or set
close together, are iron bound, SO that
the dogs cant set their teeth in the edges.
The dog crate is provided with n cup
for water, which is SO constructed that
the water can't spill out of it, and this
cup is secured in the crate. under the end
OF pipe to which there is an opening in
the top of the crate, through which the
dog can be kept supplied without opening
the crate at all. Attached TO the front of
the crate is the dogs buffet, like long
canvas wallet or envelope, In which the
dogs food is carried. The dog crate has
at the ends handles by which it can be
picked up and carried as trunk would
be.
Besides these various sizes and styles of
dog crates there are also made in va
rious sizes smaller, lighter crates for
puppies and crates OF one sort and an
other of special sizes are made to order.
First and last there are sold a good
many dog and puppy cratea, and they are
regular articles OF stock where dog sup
plies are sold.

The natural history of the fish is OBJ
scure. Ii seems to be the fry of some
fish, for when taken many have the yelk
sac still attached TO them. The first that
is known of 1t is when schools appear in
the mouths Of rivers. The river mouths
at all seasons of the tide seem fairly
alive with the multitudes of fish not an
inch long but all swimming and leaping
under the impulse of the instinct to as
cend the fresh water streams Then they
are caught simply by sinking a piece OF
cloth In the water and lifting it by its
four corners at once. J. square OF cloth
six feet each way will hold at an ordinary
draft half bushel of the fsh, Which the
Samoans and many other islanders know
under the name 'inanga."
During the few days they are running
they are taken by millions without dimin-
ishing the school in the least Enormous
numbers of them are known IL pass up
the streams, but once past the bar at the
river mouth they disappear from sight
and all knowledge Even in the height
Of their run they are not seen in the
streams above the mouth, yet they are
never seen running back to sea. The run
lasts for not more than a week or ten
days in any one stream, and on the island
Of UDolu seems to begin in the eastern
streams earlier than IN those down to

debouching into it. Not more than half
mile separates the two, yet the school

days before II makes its appearance in

In native cookery they are wrapped in
banana leaves and steamed for short
time. But the catchers eat them raw
