NOVEL PAYMENT OF DEBT.

One OF the pleasant incidents of the
convention occurred at the Ebbitt House
when a number Of electrotypers pre-
scented a cane TO the l. T. U. delegation
from Baltimore in appreciation of at
tention shown the electrotypers by the
Baltimore printers last Sunday.
Ten men took the trip TO Baltimore
Sunday and were received by the local
typographical union there and given a
royal time. None of the Baltimore dele
cation was on hand. but the local union
took charge of the visitors and did the
honors. When the ten delegates re-
turned to Washington they sought for
means of showing their appreciation of
the reception that had teen given them.
Finally they hit upon rather a novel
idea.
They bought a handsome cane. with a
silver head. On this head was inscribed
the date of the present convention, with
the name of the Baltimore union and
those of The donors. Around the cane,
near the head, is a silver band contain
ing the name of the chairman of the
Baltimore delegation. The cane will be
the property of the Baltimore union, and
every year the chairman OF the delega-
ton to the I. S. E. U. convention will
carry the cane and. upon his return 10
Baltimore. the union will have his name.
with the date and the place of the con-
vention, inscribed upon a silver band
which will be placed under the present
one. This will continue from year to
year until the cane is wrapped in silver
bands from end to end.

noticeable feature of the picture is ghe

drink since their arrival in Warrington.
This is called the Millionaire Punch. ="
and was concocted in Chicago by James
C. Maloney. known around the Windy
City as 1.-The poet bartender
The millionaire punch is a miId-look
ing beverage but when imbibed it has
the effect of bringing to the drinkers
consciousness-as long as consciousness
lasts-the sublime knowledge of being
monarch of all he surveys. After few
glasses last night several of the steTeo-
typers wandered over 10 the freight de-
pot to make arrangements for shipping
the Congressional Library and the Capt =
toll to their respective homes. They had
only loaned them for the convention,
they said, and felt they must take them
back with them when they returned
home
The origin of the name of the punch is
this: Maloney had just put Il before his
customers one night and against the bar
were leaning eight or nine millionaire
business men of Chicago. A newspaper
man came in, sampled the punch, and
asked Maloney what he called it. Upon
being told that the beverage had not
been named the newspaper man waved
his hand to the crowd of millionaires
and said.
why don't you call it the millionaire
punch?'" Maloney saw the value OF the
hint and named his beverage accord

THE POPULAR FIR. ASHTON.

One of the most interesting figures at
the I. s. z. U. convention is Charles
Ashton, foreman of the Boston Jour
nal" and a member of Boston Union, No.
,. Mr.. Ashton is not a delegate to the
convention. but that is because he de-
clined to act in that capacity.
AS a matter of fact, Mr. Ashton is
known TO his brother delegates as "the
lve-time delegate he having repre-
scented his union at five successive con-
ventions. lie was president of No. 2
for six or seven years, finally retiring
voluntarily and against the protest Of
the members of his union. He is popu-
lar, and his arrival in Washington was
the signal for many hearty greetings.
Boston is not after anything this
time" said Mr.. Ashton to a Times re-
porter today. Il worked for a good
many years TO bring about the indePen-
dence of our union, and now that we
are separated from the 1. T. U. my
work is done. I am here to see all the
boys and have a good time. and so far
I have nothing TO complain Of.

The ammunition was put on the naval
