Employers and Employees Mingle To-
rether at Horseshoers' Meeting.

The horseshoers of Washington met at
their hail. corner of 9th and G streets
northwest, recently and held an open meet
ing for employer and employee The meet
ing was called to order by the president of
Local Union No. II of the Journeymen
Horseshoers' Union. After a few speeches
by several of those present refreshments
were served consisting of sandwiches, light
Wines cigars, etc.
Those present were treated to a few Sc
lections of popular songs by several young
vocalists. After enjoying themselves for
a while the meeting was again called to
order and one Of the employers was placed
in the chair. The journeymen then retired
from the hall and the employers formed
themselves into a temporary organization
to fully discuss the situation of their craft
in comparison with the several others, the
question Of advancing price in material the
low prices of their work, the small profits
derived from their business in comparison
to other crafts of the city. They concluded
that 1t was time for them to get together
all employing horseshoers in the city and
form permanent organization for mutual
protection and to promote their business
interests. 1t was therefore decided to call
a meeting in the near future for all the
employing horseshoers in Washington, to
more fully discuss the situation.

the naval appropriation bill. will be fin
ished. and then there will be accommoda-
tons for much larger audience.
The program presented yesterday was
quite up to the standard that has been
set by the band in the previous entertain
ments. The work of the bandsmen was
under Director Santelmann. The soloist
for the evening was Mr.. Lucian H. Conen,

PUBLIC WORK RESUMED
PROGRESS ON VARIOUS PROJECTS
UNDER U. s. GOVERNMENT.
Dredging the River Channels-Recon-
struction of Aqueduct Bridge Piers
Highway Bridge.

The weather having settled. work has
been resumed on the various public works
in this vicinity and reports on the various
projects under way have been submitted to
General Mackenzie chief of engineers. Col.
Miller reports that So 0S6 cubic yards of ma
terial were dredged from the Washington
channel of the Potomac and deposited on
the lower end of Potomac Park during the
month of March and that the contractors
are now engaged in dredging the Virginia
channel of the river above Long bridge
Since the opening of the season Sanford
e. Brooks, contractors for dredging the
Anacostia river, have had dredge working
night and day with an average rate of ex-
csvation of 206 cubic yards per hour. Oper-
atoms on this project to date have resulted
in making a channel twenty feet deep at
mean low tide and at least 800 feet wide
except at Buzzard's Point, where the width
is 240 feet for distance of 4,tO0 feet up
stream from the mouth Of the Anacostia,
being about one-thlrd the distance to the
navy yard. and filling in about eighty acres
of flats to above low tide, aud of this area
twenty acres are above high tide.
Aqueduct Bridge Pier.
Colonel Miller reports that work has re-
commenced on the reconstruction of pier
No. 5 of the Aqueduct bridge by the Penn
Bridge Company of Beaver Falls, Pa, after
a suspension since the latter part OF De-
cember. Although some apprehension was
felt on that score no damage was done to
the cofferdam by the heavy ice OF last WIN
tec the last of which passed out early last
month A rehabilitation of the stresses in the
false work around the pier shows that II Is
amply strong enough to carry tine addl-
tional loads imposed upon 1t by the WIDEN
ing of the superstructure of the bridge now
going on and that it will not be necessary
to increase the sizes of their members as
was at first anticipated. 1t is expected that
the erection of the relieving false work Will
be completed during the present month and
that the pumping out of the cofferdam VIII
be commenced.
Regarding the highway bridge across the
Potomac just above the new railroad brldse,
Col Miller says that the Pennsylvania steel
Company of Philadelphia, the contract
ors, have an ample construction plant on
hand, including timber for sheathing ana
cofferdam and that the lack of piles is the
only impeachment to the immediate com.
Increment of active work. Deliveries OF
piles are expected daily and as soon as they
arrive it is the intention of the contract
ors to push operations vigorously. work
will probably be started during the pres
emit month on the southwest abutment and
on at least ore pier.

S5@4O. In the early afternoon hours the stock market once more assumed great strength, with St. Paul in the van as a leader, having gained over yesterdays close per cent. Other good properties such as the Pacific group also were strong, and even the despised Gould properties are beginning to show strength. Wheat changed little in price. Speculatively there is not much doing. Cotton responded ito lower ca bles and further aggressive bear pres sure but outside interest in the market at ruling prices is increasing, and talk ing a broad view of the situation, we do not look favorably upon selling con- tracts short at present prices. With the advent of the closing hour for realizing sales became the future and prices gave way from the highest almost through out the list. Sentiment after such erra- tic advances as took place to-day was much mixed; in the main, however, na danger signals seem to be set as yet. Industrials and some of the less merito- rious railroad properties were reaction ary, while the better class enjoyed good support right up to the close, It looks to us as if the forces who are working the market would put it generally still higher Total sales $1,S51.00O.

AN EYE FOR coLoRs.

Happy the Woman Who is the Fora
 tunate Possessor..
 Happy is the woman who has an irl-: nate sense Of harmony, who knows not. only one tint from another but knows what colors will quarrel Happy the woman who does not spend her strength and her money trying to have an attractive home or pleasing ward robe and all to no purpose
 The woman who has an eye for color can work the happiest effects and often with very small means. He home Is restful and inviting, with an indefna- ble charm which money alone can never buy. She would no more think of compelling purple to stand with blue or scarlet with crimson than she would think of inviting into her parfor two persons who were sworn enemies to each other. She would avoid loud colors in her furnishings as she would a loud -mouthed individual full of self assertion and overbearing ways.
 Instead of envying and apiTg the rich, the woman who will study the nature of colors and the laws of harmony and make her selections in accordance with them will be gratified with a beautiful home, simple, perhaps, but wonderfully pleasing in it's air of cheerful comfort and expression or refined feeling.
 The woman who has sense of har- nony, either native or acquired, will not make the mistake of overlooking her rooms or her garments. True art de- mands the absence of whatever is su- perfiuous, meaningless or contradictory and fretting. It may not be easy ito give up what vulgarity and ooarseness have so long exacted, but refined taste once acquired has no use for the taw- dry, the worthless, and the oppressive weight of decoration.
 Simplicity does not signify baroness nor any form of Puritanism, but it does mean harmony that produces peace on all who come under it's influence Chicago Chronicle.

 New York, Oct. 4.-To-day's market opened with considerable activity and a general fractional advance The room traders seemedinc lined to oppose fur ther improvement and sold short, cov- ering later in the day, when the larger interests put on the screws at, higher figures. There can hardly be any ques- ton about important parties holding the market well in hand, and also that the outside public takes more interest in Wall street affairs. London again was a buyer early in the day for Continent tai account, private cables say. The underlying faith in the market contin- ues unabated; the information given out by the market leaders is that many of the better class of properties will go much higher. The money market does not show much change in it's complex ion, be 1t for call loans or time money. Foreign exchange on heavy offerings of commercial as well as financial bills Is lower.

Na United States Steel.
 New York, Oct. 4.-Speculative atten- tion reverted again to-day to the Northern Securities settlement ques- tion and United States Steel pf. was given over to a profit taking move- ment. The rather emphatic official de- nials that the corporation was buying it's preferred stock for conversion into aonds, which was the nominal cause for the buoyant rise in that stock yes- terday made it natural that some sell- ing should result to-day. The move ment eentered in St. Paul to-day. That stock seemed to reach no limit in it's flight. Its action was the direct out come of the strength of Union Pacific and of Southern Pacific on the ex- change and of Northern Securities on the curb. The new phase of to-day's rumors regarding the settlement of the dispute over the distribution of the Northern Securities assets was that it involved the 1odgment of control of Northern Pacific, which is the vital point in the contest in the St. Paul. But not the faintest admission from any official source of the truth of the report could be secured. Room trading incident to the movement was on an enormous scale and involved quick turns in tens of thousands of shares. The movement elsewhere was more moderate and was accompanied by

INTERPRETING FACTS.
For Nearly Every Man, Woman and
 Child.

A short time ago we published an ar ticle recommending to our readers the rev discovery for the cure of Dyspep- sia, called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and the claims then made regarding the wonderful curative properties of the remedy have been abundantly sus- tained by the facts. People who were cautious about trying new remedies advertised in the newspapers, and were finally induced to give Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets a trial, were surprised and delighted at the results. In many cases a single package cos ing but fifty cents at any drug store made a complete cure and in ev- cry instance the most beneficial results were reported. From hundred or more received we have space to pub- fish only a few of the latest, but assure our readers we receive so many com mandatory letters that we shall pub fish each week a fresh list of genuine unsolicited testimonials ard never publish the same one twice.
 From James Yemmeisler, La Crosse, Wis: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are doing me more good than anything I ever tried and was so pleased at re- that I gave away several boxes to my friends, who have also had the same benefits.
 From Jocob Anthony, Portmurray New Jersey: I have taken Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets with the best re- suits. I had dyspepsia for years and had taken a great deal of medicine, 1.,,+ 4I,a Ta hIatg seem to take ri ott I,ol7 and I feel good. I am a farmer and lime burner and heartily recommend to everyone who has any trouble with his stomach to use these Tablets.
 From Mrs. M. K West, Preston Minn.; have received surprisingly good effects from using, Stuart's Dys- nensia Tablets. gave one-half of my last box to friend who also suffered from indigestion and she had the same good results. e ..s.
 From Mrs. Agnes K. Ralston, Cadi- llac, Mich: Ihave been taking Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets and am very much better, and feel very grateful for the great benefit have received in so short time.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are cer- tain cure for all forms of indigestion. They are not claimed to be a cure-all, but are prepared for stomach troubles only, and physicians and druggists ev- anywhere recommend them to all per- Aons suffering from Dyspepsia, sour CT acid stomach, heartburn, bloating or wind on stomach and similar disor- ders.

ventiOR of Citizens Alliance.

ventiOn Of Citizens Alliance.
Chicago, Oct. 17.-An attempt will
be made to extend the "open shop
principle to many new industries. A
meeting of the Citizens Industrial AL.
lace has been called to meet in New
York city November 80 and 80. D. M.
Parry, the head of the alliance, has
sent out notices to every employers
association in the country asking each
to send delegates to the meteing.
The "open shop for union and non
union men will be the tocsin of the
employers. Even skilled trades are to
come within the plan. Each associa-
ton is expected to send two delegates
to the convention. Fifteen hundred
delegates ae expected in all.
In addition to associations large
companies are especially notified of the
meeting and itso bjects.. Recent sue
cesses in locking out union men and
opening plants on "open shop" rules
has encouraged the employers to believe
that the time is ripe for extending the
fight to the most powerful unions. Be.
sides the open shop it is intended also
to attack the eight hour law and the
anti-injunction bill.
