of his resignation was dissatisfaction

forwardness, and especially his breezy
eloquence, won the admiration of even
his opponents; but it did not suffice to
spare him the insults and invectives
which furnish one of the chief weapons
OF the political adversaries of every
striking figure In French public life. HIS
Indifference to these attacks, however, is
prOverbial, and it is related that on one
occasion, during a heated debate on the
Dreyfus affair, he was chatting in the
lobby with a member of the chamber

The Only Large Delegation Present Was
+ From West SuperiOr.-Record of
the Conventions Doings and
the Days Events

The great crowds expected to be
in attendance at the A. 0. u. w.
convention yesterday, did not mater
ialize. Elaborate preparations had
been made by the citizens and the
local committee to entertain a great
many visitors, but aside from little
less than $50 from West Superior the
outside delegations did not consti-
tute more than a dozen. Still our

dition of things and had quite cele-
bration. The City Band furnished
excellent music throughout the day.
However, despite the small out
side attendance, the day was quite
success. There was parade
right after dinner and latter a fine
ball game, in which Washburn de-
feated Superior by score of II to 5.
Then came balloon ascension, with
parachute drop of 1000 feet, the
baloonist, parachute and balloon
landing with care near the depot. In
the evening there was q dance at
the Opera House, which was we'll
attended, and which proved to be a
most enjoyable affair.
The delegates of the A. O. u. w.
convention got together during the
day and held their business meeting.
The following officers were elected;
President: j. NJ. Segner, OF Eau
Claire.
Vice President; O. G. Olscamp,

be in the nature of convention, but
just what the name signifies. West

place of meeting. Among the prom
inent members of the order in at.
tendance at the convention were

man, and NJ. J. Doherty, deputy

1t is real delight to meet hobo.
No! You may think that doubtful!
But we don't mean by that the
average bum with the hard luck
story who wants to be somebody but
can t because the world is against
him. The fellow we mean is such
one as struck THE TINES office the
first of the week. 'Say, Mr.. Edi-
tor" said he, "I'm a hobo printer,
can you help me out? [ have just
come from California-traveled most
of the way on Pullman-they are
fine cars | tell you, all you have to
do is to get an eighteen inch board,
and place it on the beam, and it. the
finest place in the world to ride
beats fast freight trains all hollow.
| I'd like TO work a little, but give me
d quarter first to get something TO
eat with please The old fellow
was ffty-fve years old, a printer,
and Just hobo, sir, and nothing
else if you please. He touched us
up for dollar and an old white
shirt. The brethren of the press
need not think THE TINES man has
gone through period of transfgur-
alton if a "hobo printer" with
u. E. ]. embroidered on the bot
tom of his shirt bosom applies for
work in the next few days. He felt
somewhat Inundated by having
been obliged to make his way out of
here on local freight, and as that
was two or three days ago he has
perhaps made several hundred miles
by this time.
There is an array of artists up
stairs over THE TIMES office, and
they are right in line when it comes
to decorating doors or painting por-
traits. There are at least one or
two young men who are swearing
by" the work produced.
Now that an effort is being made
to change the license fee back to
5000 it remains to be seen whether
some of the advocates of the $500 fee
will let the matter go by default as
they did three years ago. The
activity shown at that time was all
in favor of the 5000 fee, and it is safe
to say the latter will lose none of
their interest this time.
It is said that the band made five
trips to boats and trains Tuesday
and each time met just one visiting
delegate to the Convention. Any
way the lonesome delegate must
have thought he was being royalty
welcomed to have whole brass
band turnout to meet him.
