COMPLAINT AGAINST JORDAN.
Central Labor Union Appoints
Special Committee.

The Central Labor Union last evening ap-
pointed special committee to enter COM
plant with Major Sylvester against Lieut..
Jordan Of the eighth precinct, who, 1t is al
legged, exceeded his authority in the case of
w. T. Trittipoe, who was arragned yester-
day in the Police Court for unlawful dis
tribution of printed matter.
This action was taken by the union after
statement was made by Mr.. Trittipoe,
who is a delegate to the central body, in
which he alleged that he was required to
furnish s. collateral and was arraigned be-
fore the Police Court without warrant on
unfounded charges entered against him by
Lieut.. Jordan
1t is stated that the committee of the
Central Labor Union will submit to Major
Sylvester detailed statement Of the COM
plant and will request that the matter be
fully investigated
The joint resolution recently introduced in
the Senate by Senator Gallinger, proposing
an amendment to the Constitution, which
shall entitle the District of Columbia to
representation in Congress and the electoral
college, was, after considerable discussion,
Endorsed on a divided vote.
A number of delegates opposed the in
dorsement of the measure for the reason
that it does not apply to change of
municipal government and which, If in
dorsed, will commit the Central Labor
Union to a measure proposing only partial
franchise, and which will tend to delay and
retard any effort that may be made for a
change of municipal government

Bead Work in England.

From Elegant Arts for Ladies'" 1869.
There burst out suddenly a colored glass
and steel bead epidemic which rapidly
spread its contagion throughout the land,
and the ravages of which must be fresh
in the recollections of ladies of a certain
age" This visitation occurred about the
period of the reform BILL when it seized
upon the female constitution with viru-
lence not to be resisted; the disease be-
came universal, hardly a family escaping
the contagion. Beads rose with the manu-
facturers TO abnormal prices and they were
sold retail by millions and thousands of
millions at fabulous profits Still. there
never were enough of them in the market;
and In numberless cases the dear ladies
were vexing and grieving for the want of
them, or sallying forth in all weathers TO
hunt them up at prices however extraordi-
nary. Their first use was in the production
of bracelets, for which innumerable pat
terms were sold in the shops. The bracelet
could be worked in two modes-either by
sewing the beads on a canvas ground, a
simple process enough, or by deliberately
netting them together in a small frame by
means of mohair and needles, an exploit of
far more labor and difficulty, but resulting
In product of greater value inasmuch as
Ii exhibited the pattern on both sides. From
bracelets the beadwork extended to bags
fever did not abate very soon, but became
after time a more manageable disease
Meanwhile the Berlinwool school of art had
been struggling into existence and by the
force of its superior claims succeeded in
shelving the beads.

BUT Horace observed that those who
never had been strong enough to throw on

were the very ones who put crimps into

Horace often suspected that some Of
