A neighbor has sent the following
tribute; The sudden passing away of
Mrs. Anna Newton has cast a gloom
over the community. Not only in the
home where her loss can never be
made good, but in the society and
neighborhood where she was appre-
ciated for many estimable qualities
will she be missed. Not by words
said or unsaid, nor by enconiums high
sounding, but by her good deeds and
helpfulness will she be remembered
She was a good woman, faithful in
business and in all relations of life
ION this point there was never any
doubt. The jewels of consistency
and absolute integrity she possessed
and retained. Her neighbors would
bring respectful and reverent witness
to her consistent Christian character

In London an American, boasting Of

this is nothing compared with some Of

around there that it's a common thing

WHY MIsERs Are MlsERs.
How she Disnnse Vas DiagnOs:icated
h. n Policeman.


b. Policeman.
An Old woman was found dead in her
bed in a little tousmcnt house room on
the west side some time ago. and there
was excitement from one end Of Old
Greenwich village to the other. The
neighbor women stood on tie curb and
cossiped and wondered about it. Even
the policeman n the beat WAS interest
ed. There was reason for the unusual
interest. howcrer-the old woman was
a miscr.
All the women for blocks around
knew the fact, and their ideas Of the
sum of money she had concealed some
where about her miserable room varied
w,dcly. Some said she had $loVO'
which was q fortune TO most OF the
poor people. while others were sure
She had $4,000 The policeman heard
the stories and decided TO search the
rooms. Carefully hidden under loose
board iN the door lie found 500 IN
greenbacks. lie counted it before Il
crowd Of women, and as the sum grew
by tens and twcnties their mouths
dropped with amazemcnt
"She ain't had square meal for
MONTH exclaimed one.
"And look at her clothes" cried an
other. "That tattcred skirt was given
to her by a woman whose husband
makes SO week
"She ought to have been ashamed to
take it," said the third. knowing all
the time she had a fortune hidden
away"
Then they tried to figure out what
reason she could possibly have had for
being mlser The general verdict was
that she was crazy. Just plumb daily
on the subject OF money" was the way
one woman put it.
But this did not suit the policeman,
who was a man Of parts and some edu-
cation. He had Il theory on the motives
Of misers. and the audience was ready
to listen.
"If misers were crazy" said he,
"they would rot be able to keep from
stealing money saved by other people
They would run amucl at the sight OF
things displayed in store windows, anc
we would arrest them"
"WeH, if mscrs amt crazy will You
tell me why they don't buy clothes and
food and fire with their money! de-
manded one y the women. They know
they can't take the money with them
when they 90 into the next world"
you see," said the man in Uniform
"ies ike this. according TO the way I've
figured it out. You've heard Of soldiers
shooting themselves for fear they were
going to be shot in a fight You've
known people to poison themselves be-
cause they were afraid they were go
ing to die Of some poisonous cancer or
tumor. It's the same way with the
miser. He starves himself for fear he
will starve to death ut some indefinite
time in the future; for fear Of freezing
he permits himself 10 freeze. The first
thing he knows he's dead, and the SUI
fering which he has endured is all in
vain. There's only Que thing 10 DO, and
.thats. to-sIs2d EouR B9saey ~hile.yon
I have it and let the future take care OF
itself"
Then the policeman walked of to the
station house with the old woman's
savings. some Of which were used later
on to pay for the expenses Of a decent
burial. The women followed his big
uniformed figure with admiring eyes.

why they had not been receiving any
orders, and when Mr.. Abrahamson in
formed the agent that it was because
they did not use the label he was thun-
derstruck. The wires were kept hot
that day between New York and Du-

order not to lose Mr.. Abrahamson' S

ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT.

M, Dillon, a member of the Tug
Firemens Union was arrested Tuesday
on complaint of Captain Mcpherson,
a ron. union employee of the Tug Trust,
for an alleged assault. His hearing
was set for yesterday afternoon.
1t appears that Dillon is the wrong
man, as four prominent business men
who saw the engagement have said.
When Dillon heard that there was a
warrant sworn out for his arrest he
walked into the police court and gave
himself no. He was released on $40
bail. A member of the firemen's union
said II cannot understand how it
is, that when a non-union man as
saulted union pickett a short time
ago he was arrested and permitted to
go on his own recognizance, but when
two union firemen were arrested for as
sault little later they were locked
in Jail until they could furnish 5000
bail each. In this instance Mr.. Dillon
voluntarily entered police court and
gave himself up. This exhibition of
faith had. no. effect on the court, nor
was he permitted to go lon his re-
cogniZance as was the case of the run
ner of a. union store.'
Since writing the above the case
against Mr.. Dillon was dismissed, as
it was clearly shown that he was not
the man who committed the alleged
assault.

Union labor Of Duluth, and the Gar
ment Workers union of America, owes
William Abrahamson, of the Hub
Clothing House, a debt Of gratitude. He
has done more in the interest of the
union label in the past two months
than all of us union men will do in a
decade. A short time ago Mr.. Abra-
hanson decided to buy no more shoes,
clothing, hats or shirts and collars un-
less they carried the union label. His
experience in the business has bis 3ht
him to the conclusion that person
must be either one way or the other,
and so he has concluded to operate a
strictly union store in the broadest
sense of the word. He is closing out
whatever stock he has left that does
not bear the label. 1t must be expected
that when a business man decides upon
such a course as this lie will make or
lose friends by it.

The Trades Assembly held an ex-
ceedingly lively meeting last Friday
evening. There was an unusually large
attendance and good grist of bus
! mess, which President Dworschak
ground out in his usual rapid manner.
| The delegates to the State Federation
| of Labor submitted their report, which
was plumb full of interest. It was ac-
! cepted with enthusiasm. The matter
of the free labor bureau hiring men
for outside work during a strike was
given an airing. Delegates held differ
ent views on the subject, and while
| they all deplored the fact that the free
bureau could be used for such pur-
| pose, yet they did not feel like embar-
RAISING the work Of the bureau so long
| as they had the private concerns to
deal with.
Much satisfaction is felt in labor cir
| cles over the present success OF the free
| bureau in it's new quarters. With
fair field it is felt that the free bu-
reau will put all Of the private institu-
tions out of business. When both lab
orers and employers learn that they
will be assured of honest treatment by
a free bureau, they will give it greater
| patronage.
At the next meeting of the union the
semi-annual election of officers will
occur. There is much speculation as to
who will be elected president. 1t has
been the habit of giving a second term
| to a worthy officer, and there is no rea-
son why Henry Dworschak will not
succeed himself. Some of the delegates,
I 1I
O'Neill has been spoken of, but as he
is president of his local union, and also
an executive officer of his international,
it is not likely that he would care to
accept any more work at this time
It is quite a task, as every one knows
who has been through the mill, to work
every day at a trade, and then faith
! fully perform the work of more than
| two offices.
Henry Perrault, of the Cigarmakers'
union, is being discussed among many
of the delegates. He would make a
splendid presiding officer. His deliber-
ate manners and honest traits have
won for him many friends, but he says
himself that President Dworschak Is

! desire to destroy any of the established
precedents of the Assembly.
The office of vice president is usually
rendered to some one in line for the
presidency so no other candidates have
been mentioned save those before men,
toned.
J. W. Richardson can have the sec
retaryship again if he desires it. The
delegates know when they have good
thing, and intend to hang on to it.
A. A. Fider has resigned as financial
secretary treasurer. He is tired of his
Job. Victor johnson and Ole Larson
have both been discussed to succeed
him. Either would be acceptable.
At this meeting a committee to ar
range for the Labor Day celebration
will either be appointed, or the presi-
dent will be authorized to choose
them at his leisure. It is the intention
this year to beat all former records
that is if they are real good, and can
stand in with the weather man.

TEAM OWNERS DEMANDS.
Union Not Slow in Getting Down to
Busfness.


The Team Owners union, which was
recently organized by the Trades AS
sembly committee, evidently believes in
starting out early. At their last meet
ing it was voted to make demand
for an increase of $1.00 day for teams.
The union has 125 members and gives
promise of being giant in union labor
circles. Their demands go into effect
on Monday next. Those who do not
grant them will find themselves minus
teams on that morning.
Four firms have already agreed to
the new scale. They are all prominent
contractors in the city, and among them
are such firms as John Marshall,
Knauft, Fredin & Carlson. The union
scale will be so cents an hour. This is
what the city is paying today, and the
team owners feel that they ought to
receive as much from contractors as
they do from the city.
