OLE LARSON.
Trustee Of Trades Assembly and
Candidate for Sheriff.

Aux oASEAAAs
Ole Larson, trustee of the Trades AS
sembly, and candidate for the Repub-'
lican nomination for sheriff, is perhaps
one of the best known union men in
the city. He is steamfitter by trade,
and has for years held the office Of
treasurer in his union. Mr.. Larson was
born in Sweden, and came to this coun-
try when but young man. He learn
ed the steamftting trade, aud is regard
ed as one CT the best steamftters in the
northwest.
Shortly after serving his apprentice
ship he Joined the union Of his craft,
and has been an earnest and sincere
worker in the labor movement ever
since. He has served on two Labor
Day committees with CT edit and dis
tinction. His political career has been
clean and hono:a bic. In the Second
ward of this city he has many friends
outside o. the labor movement who
hav. considerable admiration for him.
lie was induced to become candi-
date for sheriff by many friends, and
he took considerable time to decide
before entering the race. He is not
endorsed by the Trade and Labor AS
sembly, but the delegates to that body
met after a meeting one evening and
unanimously endorsed his candidacy
He is making good fight, and sincerely
expects to land the nomination. If
he Is elected he says that he will dis
charge the duties of his office without
fear or favor. In cases of labor dis
putes the sheriff's office will not be
used in the interest Of any particular
class, but Justice will be done, and he
will only be interested in the main
,tenance Of law and order. Every union
man could do worse than vote for

SAMUEL KELLEY.
Member of the United Brotherhood
OF Carpenters.

Member of the United Brotherhood
Of Carpenters.
The fault finder of trade unions say
that it's members are un-American, and
although we will not discuss that phase
of the question now, we will present to
the readers of the Labor World the
name of a member of the Carpenters
Union, Mr.. Samuel Kelley, who fought
five years for Old Glory under the rays
Of the southern sun from 1861 to 1865;
woh furnished three boys in the Span
ish-American war, one of whom went
to China on United States man Of
war to aid in the protection Of Ameri-
can interests during the late uprising.
What better example of true American
ism is wanted? Mr.. Kelley is q trade
unienist because he is an American.
The cruelty of the southern oligarchy
upon the black slave stirred him to ac-
ton in his early days. and the injus-;
tees dealt to the wage slave by the
northern plutocracy Of today makes
him as earnest trade unionist as he
was a soldier. Mr.. KELLEY is an Ohio
an by birth. and came to this state sew
e'rai years ago. He has reared a large
and respectable family. who bear wit
ness Of his true and stirling manhood.
In the last campaign he was a candi-
date: for the legislature, but was defeat
ed by the very men he would have
faithfully served. Instead ~ him tl1ev
elected a wooden man. or something
similar. Mr.. Kelley was delegate to
the two conventions Of the State Fed
Grafton or Labor, and served his union
there with the usual good results. q: !

The Cigarmakers' Union without Aatt
Dttinger would be no union at all,
Many years ago he was elected alnan-
cial secretary Of the Cigarmakers' Una
ion, and he can have the job as long -
he wishes. To be financial secretary %
the Cigarmakers' Union is to be & bank
er in small way. The financial sys.
tenn Of the union permits the memberA
to make loans, giving their card as se~
curity. There are also sick and out 81
work benefits to be paid, and one can
imagine that the office Is no sine~
cure. But Mr.. Ettinger takes care o6
It all without complaint, and besides
never misses day at his work. He
was one of the charter members Of tha
old Trade and Labor Assembly, which
was organized in 1887. On account Of
the many duties of his office as imam
cial secretary Of the local union he Was
obliged to resign. The old records still
exist and his name Is repeatedly men-
toned as a >worker in the early days.
Last year his union elected him asa
delegate to convention Of the Inter-
national Cigarmakers' Union. which
was to be held at Baltimore, but which
by referendum vote was postponed for

his untiring services in behalf Of the
union. Say that unions are ungrateful.

conscientious and sincere workers in
the labor movement OF Duluth, is vice
president of the Stage Employees union,
and delegate to the Trades Assembly
Walter entered the movement. as a.
member of the Woodworkers' Union.
He> was then engaged at his trade,
and during the time that a local was
in existence in this city he served in
many offices In. that union, the last Of
which was president. He was a dele
gate to the Trades Assembly in the
early days when it required courage to
take stand in the interest of the
movement. Walter was never known
to finch, and there never was a duty,
no matter how unpleasant that, he
would refuse to perform. He retired
from the movement after he had left
his trade, and accepted a position I'M
the Engineering department Of the city.
He is now making rapid advances in
his new profession. For q past time
he works as q stage mechanic in the:
Lyceum theater, and hence is a menu!
Der of the Stage Employees Union. He:
is well-known in state labor circles, and
has attended several conventions of the
State Federation of Labor: During the
labor bazaar held at the Armory sew

of his time WITHOUT cost to the success
of the bazaar. His knowledge Of ma
chinery was Of considerable service to-
the managers of that affair. He is mar
ried and has a very pleasant home in
the center of the city. ~. -.

There perhaps is no one in the local
labor movement who has been the SUBJ
ject Of so much abuse as that old vet
eran, J. H. Baker. His service in the
movement has been Of such length that
he is generally looked upon by those
who accept the gospel of PUCK" and
Judge" as an agitator and trouble
maker. He joined the labor movement
away back in 1857, when it required
both nerve and courage to say that one
was member Of labor union.
He has seen the movement grow from
its infancy, and strange to say he never
allowed his hope in the movement to
falter. Other men have come and gone.
He has been attacked and abused, but
his faith is still unshattered, Occasion.
ally he Is defeated for q time, but in
the course of events he hobs up serene
~, and takes his place among the ac-
tive workers in the movement. Mr..
Baker Is q veteran of the Civil war, and
hence we appreciate how dear the labor
movement is to him. Some critics con-
denim him because he does not work at
his trade. but it does not seem reason
able to us that q man of his age should
be obliged. to work, and toll in the even
ing Of !, his life, when he. ought to reap
ing some Of the benefits Of his past pro-
ducing days. In his capacity as busi-
ness agent he is bringing In more new
members tothe Carpenters Uuion than
were ever. brought before. sSs4
Mr.. Baker was a delegate TO two
Of the State Federation of
Labor. at both Duluth and Mankato.
He also attended several Of the K. Of
L. conventions.

London. May REORGANIZATION
poured in today upon Miss Florence
Nightingale, the famous Crimean war
nurse, the occasion being her seventy
ninth birthday anniversary. There
were number of callers at her resi-
dence, all OF whom were received and
welcomed, although the health of the
venerable heroine has been very poor
for several years. The congratulations
of the king and queen, in the form of
autograph letters, were delivered to
Miss Nightingale by special messen-
ger. Dispatches couched in telicitous
phrases were received also from Miss
Clara Barton, the cZar of Russia and
other notables.
1t is known that for years Miss
Nightingale has been an invalid as a
result of her experiences in the Crimea
a half century ago. 1t is not so well
known, however, that her sick room
has been the scene of the most ardu-
ous and constant labor for the i'm
provement of the health of the soldier.
Although now confined to her bed a
large part of the time, she always ac-
corded welcome to anyone who seeks
advice on a question affecting the in
terests of the sick or those who nurse
them She is always cheerful and
spends most of her time in reading.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.
Cne Hundred and Fourteenth Session
Opened In New York.

New York, May 15.-The one hun
dred and fourteenth Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly was call0l to order by
the moderator, Rev. Henry G. Minton,
ID. d., at IL o'clock today in the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church. At 8
O'Clock the chapel was opened to re-
ceive the credentials of the commits
sioners and alternates. and from that
hour until the assembly convened.
Rev. DR.. William II. Roberts, the
stated clerk, was kept busy distribut-
ing badges and assigning the delegates
to their places. The galleries OF the
edifice were crowded to suffocation
when the opening hymn was sung, the
spectators joining with the commits
sioners and alternates in their rendi-
ton of the anthem. Spacious though
il is, the church was not large enough
to accommodate the crowds anu many
were turned away.
The various local and suDcommittees
are quartered in the chapel, and ade-
quate arrangements have been made
by those committees for the proper en-
tertainment of the visitors.
The sermon of the retiring modera-
tor, DR.. Minton, occupied the entire
morning session and at its conclusion
the assembly adjourned until late
hour this afternoon to prepare for the
election O. a new moderator, the most
important practical business OF the
day. OF the several candidates in the
field no one seems to have a decisive
lead and all forecasts as to the out
come of the election are purely prob
lematical.
The most important business will be

DOWN TO WORK.
Miners Have Reached the Question of
the Hour.

Hazelton. Pa. May 15.. The final re-
port of The credentials committee at
the convention of anthracite mine
workers, called to decide the matter of
a strike, was made this morning, after
which the question of the hour was in
troduced by President Mitchell in the
form of an exhaustive report of the
negotiations of the Civic Federation
and presidents of the coal companies
The same impenetrable veil of secrecy
surrounds the proceedings of the con-
vention today. No doubt there will be
many propositions introduced by dele
gates, and it is possible the debate on
them will continue until tomorrow.
The convention took a recess from
II to 1:30. The speeches up to 2:30
o'clock are said to be strongly in favor
of a strike. None of the national Off
ers of the organization addressed the
convention. The gossip coming from
the hall points strongly to strike.
