Cut glass knobs are considered much
smarter on colonial furniture, just at

Woodwork and floors painted green

Women would do well to give much
thought to color harmony and circum-

STRONG PROTEST.
Live stock Men MemoriaIixe the SEN
ate Against the Grout Bill.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 1.-THE Live
Stock Association, in national convention
In this city, to-day adopted a memorial to
the United States Senate protesting
against proposed legislation inimical to the
interests of live stock raisers and especial
ly against the Grout BILL The memorial
recites that the National Live Stock AS
ISOLATION is composed of 126 live stock and
kindred organizations. all directly inter-
ested in the production, marketing and
disposition OF live stock, and whose hold
ings thereof represent an investment of
over 5000, 600 900. IL declares that the pas
sage of the law would destroy the domestic
demand for oil OF cleo. OF which 2fo00.0oo
pounds were used in the year 1893. in the
manufacture of oleomargarine and also
would seriously injure the hog industry
By a similar destruction OF the demand,
except for export, of neutral lard, Sl,O00,000
pounds OF which was used in the year 1899
in the manufacture OF this food product;
thereby entailing a loss 10 the producers
of live stock of the United States OF mil
lions of dollars annually.
In conclusion, the memorial "solemnly
protests against the enactment of the Grout
bill or any other legislation calculated TO
entail an enormous loss on the live stock
producers OF this country. TO ruin Il great
industry, and 10 deprive not only the
working classes. but others. Of a cheap.
wholesome. nutritious and acceptable ar
ticle OF food"

There are now ninety-six cities represented
with a membership of $4,000 The most
animated discussion was over the resolu-
tion TO shut out the wood workers from
shops and factories who do not work at
the scale OF carpenters, painters and others
A number of resolutions having been of
fered that interfered with the autonomy
OF local unions, IL was resolved that no
action be taken that interfered with the
autonomy of local unions
II was resolved that all local unions of
affiliated national bodies be compelled to
affiliate with their national organization
or be suspended. design was adopted
for the buildings trades label TO be put on
buildings. 1t was argued that this would
have materially helped the Chicago strike
resolution was adopted for each trade
to define and classify its work and file in
duplicate copy of the same with the To-
cal and general secretary. This is to pre-
vent collision between certain trades, such
as steam filters and plumbers. In locali-
ties where there is no Buildings Trades
Council it was resolved that working
card shall be issued except by the gen.
eral secretary. In localities where trades
are not largely represented and too small
for charters separately, il was resolved to
grant them a charter of the Amalgamated
Building Trades Union until they could Sc
cure sufficient members to be eligible for
the charters of their respective unions.

Suggestions as to It's More Definite
Establishment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE several
measures providing for the more definite
establishment of the gold standard were
under consideration again to-day by the
House committee on coinage. Mr. Roberts,
director of the mint, were heard and letters
being received from prominent financial
experts. Mr.. Roberts approved the gen.
eral idea OF legislation for the exchange
of silver dollars for gold. He salt 1t would
not add anything to the burden of the gold
reserve. The only demand on the gold
reserve would be for export purposes and
the government was bound to meet that
demand in any event. Mr.. Roberts was
cross-questioned quite Sharply by Repre-
sentatives Cochran OF Missouri and Sha-
froth of Colorado. both representing the sill
yer element on the committee. Cochran
announced that the opposition to the pro-
posed legislation would ask for a hearing
later.
A letter from President Williams, of the
Chemical National Bank of New York, was
read, approving the pending bills as de
manded by public sentiment and the en-
phatic Endorsement by the people of the
principle of the gold standard" Mr. Will

legislation is to suspend the coinage of
