TESTIMONIAL FOR Upton.
American People to Present Sir
Thomas a Costly Gift.

New York. Sept. 23.-The Upton tes-
timonial committee met at the Waldorf
today and examined designs for the
testimonial that the American people
will present to Sir Thomas Upton Two
Tiffany designs were considered the
best of those submitted. and one of
them is likely TO be the final choice.
One showing the American Indian. buff
falo, sea gulls and American eagle with
delicate trimmings, comprising dainty
festoons OF Indian corn, was much ia
vored. though a smaller design, with a
clever representation of Shamrock III
was also greatly admired.
The committee wishes it understood
that It has made no final decision. and
invited all to submit designs.
Money is coming in rapidly, and the
indications are that the fund will
reach IS, 600 or $4,000 If so a more
elaborate design may be ordered. or the
testimonial may be of gold instead of
silver.
More than $4,000 in subscriptions
arrived today. OF this amount $500
came from Senator Kearns of Utah.
The enthusiasm over the testimonial is
general, for even Portland. Ore, is de-
termined to be represented.
The subscriptions will be open for
several days. although it is hoped to
get the testimonial finished so that it
may be presented to Sir Thomas be-
fore he sails for Europe.

SUES EMPLOYER.
Printers Union, Incorporated, Alleges
Breach of Contract.

Philadelphia. Sept. 25.AAn interest

here today by a labor union against
an employer for breach of contract.
The suit is brought by the Amalga-
mated Painters association dncorpo-
rated against Huneker & Sons. master
painters. and the amount of damage
called for is $1,000 Huneker it is
alleged. had a. contract with the Anal
gamated association to employ only
members OF that organization. which is
being bitterly antagonized by a rival
painters union known as the Brother
hood Of Painters. Paperhangers and
Decorators. The latter union, backed
up by the allied building trades of
Philadelphia, requested Huneker to dis
charge the Amalgamated men under
the threat of calling sympathetic
strikes on all operations on which
Huneker was doing work. He at first
refused. but finally decided to dismiss
al the Amalgamated men and employ
Brotherhood workmen. The suit of the
Amalgamated painters then followed.
