F. G. Winston. the firm Of Winston
Brothers. general railroad contractors. 1t
is one of the best known firms In the
country and in the past twenty-five years
has constructed thousands OF miles OF
railway in the west.
On March 80. 1876, Mr. Winston was
married to Katherine D. Stevens. daugh-
ter Of Colonel John H. Stevens. the
pioneer settler OF Minneapolis. They have
two children, Philip B., IT., and Nellie
Winston.
HI. Political Career.
" Winston was one OF tne notaDle
aAseS In Minnesota politics, in which he
a. been leader Or many years In the
ssrrss Of bis career in this city he held
ansuy honorable positions, serving In the
legislature. He was elected mayor in
1890, serving to the satisfaction OF his par
ty and friends.
He was of a genial disposition. with
kind word to all and personality winning
in the extreme. Because of his popularity
his party associates were always desirous
Of having him upon the ticket In one capa-
city or another and he repeatedly was
compelled, especially in recent years, to
decline nominations which the party was
only too anxious to give him.
This was true two and four years ago
when, 1t is commonly acknowledged, he
could have had the democratic nomination
for congress. Owing to the extraordinar-
lily prosperous business conditions Of the
past five or six years Mr.. Winston posi-
lively refused to accept any nomination,
saying that at the proper time he would
accommodate his friends, but that his
first duty was to his family, and that the
time to make hay was while the business
sun was shining.
During the recent troublous times polit-
ically he was loyal to the party as exem-
plified by William J. Bryan, but was never
an ardent silver advocate.
He refrained, as far as possible, from
taking a very active part in,the bitter con-
troversy which waged, and his popularity
was slike evident with both wings of the
party until the last, and during the past
month or SO his name was mentioned
prominently as the choice of Manager Ros-
ing al the next candidate OF the party for
governor.

did not believe in imitation nor in a con-
traction of the currency, but favored a
gradual increase. "As to fusion" said
the senator, 'the populists will go it

Mr.. Butler says the democratic party
will be captured by the Hill element. The
populists will make their fight on public
ownership not of everything, for that

THREE WEALTHY BEGGARS
Behind THE PRISON BARS.
HOUSES AND EMPLOYS A LOOK
OUT TO GUARD HIM.
HOW HE LOST HIS SIGHT.
STARED AT THE Sun TILL BLIND
NESS CAME.

NEW YORK, May 10-Detectives
Hayes and Flynn arraigned three old
time beggars in the Jefferson Market
Police Court to-day. They were Charles
Berkowitz, the blind man with blood
shot eyes who stands with a small pack
at Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue;
Joseph Buckley, also blind, whose stand
is usually at the elevated station at
Eighteenth street and Sixth avenue, and
Fred Allen. who is crippled and who
when begging exaggerates his infrmity
until he seems to be almost entirely
paralyzed on his left side. Allen is pale
and wan. He is not able to take more
than one round trip day from Broad
way to Sixth avenue along Twenty
third street. Each trip nets him from
S. to $12, the detectives say.
When arrested Berkowitz had over S.,
Buckley about $1.75 and Allen $3.50.
Berkowitz is the man whose life was in
vestigated by the Charities Organization
Society some time ago. 1t was learned
that he was brought here by his uncle
from Russia while boy and set to beg
ging. He was taught to roll his eyes
back and stare at the sun. He persisted
in that sort of thing until he went blind.
BerkowitZ is well-to-do. He is the own
er Of several tenement houses, the Char
tiles Organization Society's report says.
Aliens wife is a dressmaker and also
well-to-do. All three men make morey
enough to employ lookouts who linger
near with an eye for the coming police
When Detectives Hayes and FLYNN
spied the three men yesterday they tele-
phoned for a patrol wagon. The wagon
picked up Allen first in Twenty-third
street, and then Buckley at Eighteenth
street and Sixth avenue The wagon
then drove to Fourteenth street to pick
up Berkowitz. A we'll dressed man ran
across from the north side, seized Berk-
owitz by the arm, closed the peddler's
pack and started to lead him away.
When the police laid hands on Berko-
WITT the man loudly protested. Berk-
owitz, too, insisted that he was walking
with friend, and had done no wrong.
The lookout had to be threatened with
arrest for interfering with an officer in
the discharge of his duty before he
would stop his protestations.
In court Magistrate Cornell decided
to sentence the men to a months i'm
prisonment as Migrants. The action
was taken under section of the law
which does not allow of their release
under bond. This action, if it holds
good, may be something OF surprise to
the rich baggars. They usually are able
to supply bond that allows OF their
immediate release.
Berkowitz's lookout was in court to
see his employer arraigned, but no con-
versation could be had with him. AL
lens wife was at the prison door. She

PRIEST. SHAFFER TALKS
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE.
TOGETHER FOR THE GREAT
AMALGAMATI0N.
ITO MEETIN PITTsBURG.
THE HEAD OF THE AMALGAMATED
ASSOCIATION SUGGESTS SOME
PLANS.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 10.-The
amalgamation of all the trades unions
in the country is certainty, and Pres
ident T. j. Shaffer, of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel & Tin Work
ers is more determined than ever to
bring all the trades under one head.
While not so deeply touched with the
importance of the conference Of the
National Civic Federation, Mr. Shaffer
would not give out any interview that
was not in accord with the wishes of
those who were instrumental in call
ing the meeting. However, one thing
is certain. The conference impressed
him more than ever with the fact that
one gigantic combination of labor was
necessary, and that the workmen
should get together, and that as early
as possible.
Within a few days a meeting of all
the labor leaders in the city will be
called at the headquarters of the Anal
gamated Association, and President
Shaffer will explain the outcome of the
Civic Federation conference. In the
meantime, as an indication Of what is
to come before the leaders of this city,
President Shaffer gives out the follow
in~:
Where thee are kindred commodi-
ties controlled by. any large syn Heated
bodies there should be federation Of
the unions of the trades employed in
the manufacture of this commodity
and my opinion is that the American
Federation of Labor is capable of eff
fecting an organization of this kind as
controlling the trades, and that it
should be the endeavor to secure the
signing of the scales for all If The
American Federation of Labor cannot
see its way clear to do this, then the
trades themselves should unite anG
form independent federal bodies
The statement of President Shaffer
shows that he is determined to press
the combination of organizations, and it
is claimed that President Samuel Com
pers will push the scheme along. At
present the labor leaders or the work
ingmen in general do not recommend
the American Federation of Labor. as
they are not getting any recognition
for the amount of money invested. But
the object is to have the American
Federation take up the matter with
the Pittsburg labor leaders, and from
this industrial center send forth the
greatest labor organization ever estab-
lished. 1t is we'll known that at this
time all the workingmen are prepared
for it and the indications are among
the workmen here that the mills and
factories will be kept busy for at least
another year which viii be time
enough to complete the organization.
