LABOR CONVENTIONS TO
Be HELD At TRENTON
MaSonS' Union and Hold Carriers
Organization to Gather in the
New Jersey Capital.
QUESTIONS OF IMPORT

TRENTON, n. J., Jan. 10-Two impor-
tant international labor unions will open
their annual conventions here tomorrow.
one is the BricklaYers' and Masons' Inter
national Union and the other is the Inter-
national Hold Carriers and Building Labor
ers Union About 400 delegates will attend
the first-named convention and about 100
delegates will be in attendance at the hod
carriers. carpenters. painters, plumbers.
ton is expected to be i'm session for at least
two weeks and the hod carriers will be
here for several days.
The most important matter that will
come before both conventions will be the
proposition to affiliate with the structural
trades alliance, an organization which is
now in the formative state, but which is
intended to bring about a federation of the
basic trades engaged in building. This alli-
ance will include ten trades in ALL among
which will be. besides the masons and hod-
carriersh carpenters. painters. plumbers.
structural iron workers. steamfitters, tin
smiths and others.
The matter of afiliation is now being
voted on by the subordinate organizations
of the bricklayers' and masons' union and
the result Will be known before the conven-
ton adjourns. 1t is generally believed that
the proposition Of afiliation will receive an
affirmative vote. The sentiment among the
delegates present 10 the hod carriers con-
vention is that the convention will adopt
the alliance proposition by an overwhelm-
ing vote.
At the masons' convention announcement
will be made of the referendum vote that
has been taken among the subordinate or
ganizatiOns on the question OF the aftiliatiOn
of the International union with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Ii is understood
that this proposition has been defeated, al
though the subordinate organizations are
privileged 10 exercise their discretion I'm the
natter of their utilization with the Fedora
ton. Announcement will also be made Of
the result of the referendum vote on the
question OF the election OF officers and the
amending OF the constitution by a vote OF
the subordinate bodies IL Is understood
that both OF these propositions have been
carried affiTmatlvely.

CURIOUS PROVISIONS
OF AN ANCIENT WILL
DiSmemberment and Cremation
Desired by Naturalist and His
Wishes Carried Out.
QUEST FOR HIS ESTATE

SALT LAKE. Utah, Jan. 1O.-The remark
able provisions of a will made twenty-five
years ago have been brought to light
through letter to County Clerk James
from Mrs. Robert Irving, of New York,
asking for information regarding the dis
position made OF the estate of her grand
father, DIR. Charles Frederick Winslow, an
eccentric but brilliant naturalist, who died
in this city in 1877, leaving a valuable
estate. This consisted mainly of personal
property. including a large and valuable
collection of shells, fossils, minerals, an
tiquities and rare books. three volumes of
the latter alone being valued at $4,000. An
examination OF the public records fails TO
disclose what became of this property.
The will is dated May 3. 1876. After max
ing requests TO his children, DR.. Winslow,
in his will. requests that after his death his
heart be cut out, embalmed. inclosed in Il
glass vessel and placed on the coffin OF mis-
mother on the island of Nantucket In q
similar vessel he requested that the ashes
OF his cremated body be buried with the
body of his wife in cemetery near Cam
bridge, Mass.
AS there had been but two previous Gre
nations i'm the United States, and none in
Utah, much difficulty was found in carry
ing out this request. IL being necessary to
construct temporary furnace i'm the heart
Of the city at a cost of 81 500 Nearly every
person in the city gathered to witness the
then novel cremation OF the body.

THE AMERICAN COLONY AT COLON.
II is in Colon that there exists the
strangest of all the social conditions 10 be
found in that part of the world. In the
American section OF that city there are
the bungalows of the employees and the
hotel which is owned by the railroad. The
policy of the railroad company is to fur
nish it's married employees with quarters
in the bungalows, housing the unmarried
men in the hotel In that section Of the
city life is made bearable by the location.
which looks out over the whole expanse Of
the Caribbean sea, by adequate sewerage
and waterworks systems. and by careful
tending of the thoroughfares. fiower-gar-
dens and walks which the railroad main
tains.
The American colony is, therefore, able
to live in comfort; but the women of that
colony, few in number as they are, cling
20 the ridiculous social distinctions common
up north. 1t would be supposed that
women thrown together i'm a remote corner
of the earth as these are would meet upon
a common plane for social intercourse. But
they do nothing of the kind. They all at
tend the Episcopal Church, which the rail-
road supports In its section of Colon: they
all meet about the hotel where the railroad
company furnishes board for the entire col
ony at a low price, but II Is a fact that
among these women social lines are drawn
A brakemans wife is not, for instance,
upon the same social level as the wife OF a
passenger conductor, while the latter is
slightly lower in the scale than is the wife
Of a salaried office employe This distinc-
ton goes through the whole fabric OF the
American colony, creating little cliques, too
small for real social intercourse. Its effect
a place where the respectful BILE white popu-
lation numbers hardly more than 800 souls,
where domestic duties practically un-
the homes, and the practice OF all employees
dining at the hotel. and where the town Of

Boy Runs Barefoot for Doctor
When Mercury Stands Ten Be

MIDDLETOWN. n. Y, Jan. 1O.-Alarmed
at the sudden sickness Of his father. Bran
do Huggins, twelve years old. OF Beaver
kill, ran nearly half mile barefooted
through the snow, and in consequence Will
probably lose one foot
The lads father was taken seriously
sick during the night. and his son lost so
little time In starting 10 obtain aid from
the nearest neighbOrs that he only donned
a portion OF his wearing apparel, and did
not even think 10 put on his shoes and
stockings as he rushed from the house.
Not until his feet came in contact with
the snow did he realize his omission. and
then. fearing that delay might result Ia
tally to his father. he rushed on. his feet
becoming colder and colder. The Their
mometer at this time registered ten degrees
below zero.
Young Higgins finally reached a neigh
boris house. and having interested him in
going after the doctor, started on his return
trip unmindful OF the fact that both his
feet were frozen. as they appeared utterly
devoid of feeling. IL took longer 10 make
the return trip. however, and when ne I'm
ally reached his home and entered warm
room he was i'm terrible agony. AT first II
was feared that ne would be compelled 10
submit 10 the amputation OF both feet, but
IL is now believed one may be saved.
Despite the fact that his effort 10 get re-
lief for his father had cost him dearly.
the boy bears his suffeTings patiently de-
claring that he does not consider the sacri-
flee for the sake OF his father any too
great.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Jan. 1O.-The tenth
week of the Central Polo League begins
with more doubt as TO the respective merits
of the teams. The changes in the Danville
team by which Hadley. center and Moran,
half. were released, and DAILY released and
re-engagtd, has had a good moral effect
among the players. There has been less
drinking and less rowdy playing. The ref
erees have been enforcing the rules, and
the players know now that the league mag
mates intend that there shall be clean sport.
In every city In the league the games have
been drawing patronage from a class Of
citizens. with a large proportion of ladies
in the seats, that will not attend if there
is to be fighting or bad language used.
Moran after leaving Danville signed with
Logansport and is playing a great game.
Since the Iroquois disaster the authorities
in several Central League cities. have ord
cred changes in the Kinks for fire protection.
All the Kinks are easily emptied of the
largest crowds with the exception of
LOgansport.
The masks for the goal tenders will be
received this week. So far the Central
League players have Jared more fortunately
than those in the Western League where
there have been several cass of serious in
juries. but the Central League managers do
not want To run a risk and will make the
wearing OF the masks compulsory.

RICHMOND, Ind, Jan. 10-One Of the
leading questions now confronting Prof E.
Z. TrueblOod athletic director at Earlham
College. is how to interest the young women
in athletics. 1t does not seem to be the de-
sire of any of the officials to make the work
compulsory, yet there is decided need that
something be done. Last year the girls bas-
ketball team had regular schedule and this
created much interest in the general gym
nasium work This year this is lacking. AS
ii is now there is no opportunity for the
girls to meet the girls of other schools in
any kind of a contest, either mental or
physical, and no social relations exist a all.
President r. l.. Kelly is an ardent advocate
of athletics for girls. but he does not believe
girls should play basketball by the rules
governing the game for boys. He also be-
lieveS the games should not be open to the
general public. An effort is being made to
secure a physical director for the college,
and il is believed that this, III accomplished,
will give athletics boost in every line.

Snatching up her slackened rein
with one hand, his rider managed to
secure her leaping cap with the other;
| and after the first bounce she caught
| the jerky gait instinctively and sway
ed her body into its uneven swing
But her heart was all at once a-throb
in a wild panic. Was this what boy
must expect? ''If these other men
behave so, it is in my mind to tell
them that | am a woman" she decid-
ed. "Since they are my own people,
no evil can come of their knowing;
and | dislike the other feeling"
The recollection that she had al
ways this escape open gave her new
lease of holiness. When a sentinel
stopped her near the top, she faced
him with a fairly firm front.
81 have war news for King Canute, y
she told him haughtily; and he let her
pass with no more than grin.
She had come in by the back door,
but now she had begun to reach the
better quarters. Her nose reported
sooner than her eyes that meal was
in making; and glow of anticipation
braced her famished body. There, a
dozen yards to the left, the meal was
nearly over; between the gnarled
trunks the fire shone like red eye;
and bursts of merriment and snatches
of boisterous song marked the begin
ming of the drinking.
Sometimes woman's lighter laugh
ter would mingle with the peal. Some
times, through the swaying branches,
Randalin caught sight of the fiower-fair
face of an English girl bending be-
tween the shaggy yellow heads of the
captors. Once she came upon brawny
