and haystacks of conventional size were
scattered about; one corner of the lawn
was a pasture, where two oxen, fresh
from a Rhode Island farm, quietly
grazed. The house itself was stored
with products of the soil; agricultural
implements that had been in daily use
decorated the rooms, Mrs. Fish, repre-
senting the goddess of agriculture, re-
ceived her guests on dais of plows,
reapers, cultivators and what not. The
broad piazza was made into a grape ar
Dor, the living vines bearing luscious
clusters of fruit; the flower beds and
the stone wall were planted with the
kinds of wild flowers that are to be
found in every countryside.
To obtain the harvest effect desired
Mrs. Fish bought up goodly portion
of the crops of a small Rhode Island
farm; and its owner also made second
pretty penny by placing the sheaves of
wheat, the haystacks, the shocks of corn
and other things in traditional manner.
She has had an entire theatrical COM
pany, stars and chorus, provide post
midnight vaudeville for house full of
guests. She has made over her town
ballroom into small theater, the stage
being complete in every detail. She has
had special play written for production
by her.

and in which fish darted. AT her Inn
brella dinner each guest sat under as
costly and rare an umbrella as patient
search on her part and money could Sc
cure At her peace ball, which repro
duced the famous one held at Mt Yer
non in 1880, she filled her Newport
house with furniture and decorations OF
the period, spending thousands of dol
lars to give the affair as correct set
ting as possible.
AS result of her work in connection
with the ball, Mrs. Fish is a recognized
authority on the peace ball and entertain
ment and other things colonial. She
spent weeks in studying up on the sub
ject before she began actual work on
the ball; her thoroughness in this mat
ter is but indicative of her thoroughness
in all things. Therefore, her days are
crowded with work.
As a critic of the Newport set Mrs
Fish is certainly thorough going-and
refreshing. Probably no one outside the
charmed circle of the -Four Hundred
has spoken or written harsher things
about it. She says that the Newport
folk are uniformly stupid" She
ascribes little or no brains to not few,
and generally and specifically She de
clares that they are "too crazy about
dukes and such things" Her structures

who quite incidentally brought the
young woman's case to the attention of
Mrs. Fish.
A rather daring and out-of-t -the-ordi-
nary way of engaging in philanthropic
work, but in her social life she is even
more daring and ingenious.
Recently she set the tongues of the
country's gossips to wagging when it
was announced that she was to give a
dinner at which the guests were to ap-
pear in bathing suits. Newport has it
that before the season is finally over she
is expected to give yaching- -party-in-
doors entertainment, at which, it is
whispered, the guests will be received,

Il like her earnest look" she added, a
moment later; please call her to me"
Then, when the young woman had come
up, Mrs. Fish said:
"You are to continue here until you
are ready to take a step upward, and
remember, under no condition are you
to give tip your studies until you are
fully equipped for your work"
With that she swept out of the class
room and on her way to social func-
ton, and had not the man informed the
stupefed and shaking student who her
benefactor was she would probably have
remained ignorant of her identity to this
day, the necessary funds for her art edit

Mrs, Astor is the Reputed Head,
but it is Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
who Entertains Most Lavishly,
Introduces the Novelties and
Spends the Most Money.

% come to the point at once: For all
that Mrs. Astor is the recognized head
of the famous -Four Hundred" Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish, of Newport, New York
and the -Four Hundred" is America S
leading society parsonage.
She has spent a bigger fortune on So
cial entertainments than any other wo-
man of her day and generation, probably
than any other woman who has lived in
America.
She was one Of the summer pioneers
at Newport, and her social life there
has helped most powerfully to make that
two continents.
She is the most consistent, most regu-
lar entertainer in this country. Mrs.
,Astor gives one or two big functions in
the course of twelve month; Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish does not average less
than half dozen year, and her small
dinners, receptions and other lesser en-
terAinments are several times more num-
erous than the weeks. No other member of
the socially elect is so much the hostess,
and but few of the titled social lights Of
Europe, where entertainment is more
heavily gone in for than here, can equal
her record of functions, big and little, OF
the past ten or fifteen years.
The various epochal steps in her So
cial career are marked by the most ex-
traordinary entertainments, embracing,
as the alliterative circus press agent
would put it, startling, stupendous,
supplying, stunning innovations.
"Only Mrs. Fish would dare to do
such a thing" is stock comment by
her associates.
In brief, it may be said that it was
she who set the style of entertainment
and amusement that has been in vogue
among the millionaire and multmillion-
aire social devotees of recent years, and
us of little money, too. The cakewak
gymhkana races, society vaudeville, pri-
vate theatricals by professionals on an
elaborate scale, costume and symbolica
dances, and festivals on scale even
more magnificent, and true to times past
to the slightest detail; the engagement
of the worlds most noted and high
est-priced song-birds for an afternoon oil
4 evening of music--all these widely
copied features of present day big IS
society amusement she either planned
out and introduced, adapted to her uses
or was Instrumental in giving them their
popularity.
Mrs. Fish is, in truth, the genius
one may almost say, the brains-of the
-Four Hundred" And, strange as i
may seem, she is one of its bitterest
critics
She is easily the busiest society de-
votee in the country, and yet for all hei
ramifying interests in this butterfly sor
of existence she somehow finds a great
deal of time to devote to charitable anc
phianthropc work. This, however, does
not attract the attention that her un
usual modes of entertaining do, and nat
urally, so that Mrs. Fish could be easily
misjudged by one not familiar with hei
except on her social side.
Society counts her one of its mos
open-handed members. Many a young
woman, now safely launched on busi
ness career, owes her start to Mrs. Fish
She is particularly keen to help young
girls with talent for the arts but with NJ

money to secure them the necessary COW
eted education. Her fondness for grand
opera and classical music in general has
led her to be the good fairy to quite a
number of girls ambitious to become
prima donnas in time.
A story is told of her way of carrying
good messages to those hoping against
hope.
1t seems that we'll known painter of
portraits was commissioned to paint
Mrs. Fish. At sitting the conversation
turned on art students, and this led the
artist to tell of certain young woman
in one of his classes who was making
exceptional progress, who seemed to
have what is known among the profes-
sion as the divine fire, but who was
soon to lay down her brush and palette
for the stenographer's pencil because of
lack of funds. But" added the speaker,
mark my words, she'll be back in the
class as soon as she has managed to rake
and scrape together enough money to
give her another course of instruction" !"
Two nights later Mrs. Fish, unaccom-
panied, Unexpectedly appeared before the
portrait painter as he was busy in the
class room.
"Show me the student you were telling
me of the other day." she commanded.

The Christian Trades Unionist

nent above all others: in all things
fairness. l am ready to contend for
the position that man can be as a
union wage Garner a far more consist
ent Christian than as a non-unionist.
In comparison l am reminded of the
new testament story of Zacchaeus:
You remember how, when Christ
passed by, he, being small of stature,
ran before and climbed up into a syca-
more tree to see him, and when Jesus
came by he saw him and commanded
him to come down, that he must abide
at his house.
Now what strikes me as being the
great lesson in this story is that if we
would have Jesus come and abide with
us, we must get above the crowd. And
l verify believe that the union is the
sycamore tree that the wage-earner
should climb.
I love God and I love His people
believe that when Christ saved me He
saved me completely and believe that
inasmuch as he has come to take up
his abode with me, he will not depart
because l am in the company of the
union, but rather will work in me an
exceedingly more glorious salvation.

Workingmen and the Church

men who join, for example, the Fed
Grafton of Labor, and l find it copied
quite closely after Christ's summary
of duty. l can not see why every
Christian cannot subscribe to both.
They are both good, both seeking
mans good. Then why should there
not be perfect agreement between
workingmen and the church in the
great work of humanity? The work.
ingmen believe in Jesus. They laud
Him. Let them rally about Him and
about the church which He esta blished
and make it what it ought to be, if it
is not in line with the idea of it's
founder. The church needs the work
ingmen and the workingmen need the
church. Some Of our best church
workers are workingmen; men who
give their one-tenth to the Lord. Men
who exemplify His teachings in all
their life. Ask the workingmen if they
would abolish the church and | believe
long, loud cry of mo" woald arise
from many many workingmen, even of
those who do not belong to church
Why? Because in their hearts they
believe that Christ ordained the church
to save the world
Let us, my fellow workingmen, rally
around the Carpenter of Nazareth and
by our noble and aggressive Christian
lives make His church what He de-
signed it should be. Eliminate the
evil by the spirit of truth, drive out
all hard heartedness and selfishness
and arrogancy and fnariseeism by
making the people Christ-like; then
will the glad day have come when the
knowledge of the Lord covers the earth
as the waters cover the sea.

Mr. Nickel said in part:
this evening, to testify to the fact that
the Christian Unionist is not a myth
nor dream ideal, but a reality.
Among unionists such testimony is not
especially needed for in the unions his
influence is everywhere in evidence
and his usefulness recognized. In the
church he is not SO we'll known, as
while in the union he is continually
advancing the principles of Christian
ity and brotherly love, in the church
there is so much of ignorance regard
ing unionism that he must be very
careful what he says.
In evidence of this fact, I am re-
minded of a certain minister in Lin
coin, who has time and again made
the assertion that it is impossible for
a trades unionists to be a consistent
Christian.
Mr. Maupin has very tersely ex-
pressed the duties of a Christian and
the aims of unionism, and it only re-
mains for me to say that if 1 were to
take a text as he has done, 1 would
select the fifteenth verse from the sew
enteenth chapter of John, which reads
this way:
Il pray not that Thou shouldst take
them out of the world, but that Thou
shouldst keep them from the evil
Now if Christ would not take His
followers out of the world, how much
less would he take them out of the
union.
1t strikes me very forcibly that in
the union the Christian attains to the
zenith of usefulness. The influence of
a dozen Christians in a union would
be almost without measure, and his
opportunities for being living testi-
mony to the benefits of Christian life
are limitless; and the church is the
most benefited because the practical
side of the wage Garner is always in
evidence.
Union labor contends for one ele-

upon the shelf-a back number, obso-
lete. Only one book has survived the
ravages of change and time and is ever
up to date-only one. 1t is the text
book of all good men. Why do not all
good men seek the divine interpreta-
ton and live up to it? Then there
would be no colliding. Then VIE would
be brethren as God designed we should
be.
While very few workingmen reject
Christ, there are many who think of
Him as the friend of the workingman
and as coming simply to free him from
the slavery of toll. This doubtless is
true as far as it goes, but Jesus came
to free men from the slavery of sin
He said, Il come to call sinners to re-
pentance." If sin could be eradicated
this whole problem would settle itself.
Again, some talk about Christianity
as being narrow. They certainly can
not mean that. Men may be narrow.
but Christ is not narrow. The church
may be narrow, but Christianity is not
narrow. Jesus condemned the narrow
ness of His time, and Christianity
must always condemn narrowness, for
it is but the breathing forth of the
spirit of Jesus. Take that remarkable
summary of human duty as set forth
by the Master in Matthew'S gospel:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart and with all they
soul and with all thy mind This is
the first and great commandment, and
the second is like unto it: "Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as myself

rights of man. They have had no time
and as little inclination to support the
reasonable labor measures, the enact
ment of which we have urged, and
which contained benefcent features
for all our people without an obnox-
ious provision to anyone.
Patience ceased to be virtue, and
IN March 81, 1906, the representatives
of labor presented a bill of grievances
to the president and those responsible
for legislation or failure of legislation
in congress, reciting the failure or re-
fusal of the party in power to adopt or
enforce legislation in the interests of
the toiling millions of our country. AZ

requests and urging early action, we
this statement:
But if perchance you may not
heed us, we shall appeal to the con-
science and support of our fellow citi-
zens.'
Relief Asked for Refused.
THE relief asked for has not been
granted. Congress has turned deaf
ear to the voices of the masses of our
people,; and, true to our declaration,
we now appeal to the working people,
aye, to all the American people, unit
eddy, to demonstrate their determine
zion that this republic of ours shall
continue to be of, for and by the peo-

mighty dollar.
The toiling masses of our country

already quoted above. And in lire

to expect, to arouse the citizenship of
our common country, interested in
good government, to the apathy or
hostility of the party in power to the
real interests of the people. so that
men more honest, faithful and pro-
gressive may be elected as the peo-
pies representatives.
IF it has come to condition in this,
the greatest and wealthiest nation on
earth, that the almighty dollar is to be
worshiped to an extent of forgetting
principle, conscience, uprightness and
justice, the time has arrived for labor
and its friends to raise their voices in
condemnation of such degeneracy, and
to invite all reform forces to join with
it in RELOCATING Indifference to the peo-

dustrial affairs, and that the working
people cannot hope to maintain their
rights or progressive position in the
varying phases of modern society I'M
less they organize and exercise all
those functions, which, as workmen
and citizens, it is their privilege and
their duty to exercise.
1t is declared that labor makes no
demand on government and society
which is not equally accorded to all
the people of this country, and that it
can and will be satisfied with nothing
less.
The proposed campaign is based
upon the allegation that little attention
has been paid to the enactment of laws
prepared by organized labor and pre-
scented to congress, for the relief of
these wrongs and the attainment of
these rights to which labor and the
common people are justly entitled and
which are essentially necessary for
their welfare.
The council issues word of caution
that the movement must not degen-
crate into a scramble for Office, but it
should be determined effort, free alb
solutely from all partisanship OF every
name and character to secure the leg
fslation we deem necessary and essen
tial to the welfare and happiness of
all our people"
1t is expressly stated that where a
congressman or state legislator has
proved himself true friend to the
rights of labor he should be supported
and no candidate nominated against
him.
The following is a text of the pro-
gram:
Campaign Program Outlined.
ITO All Organized Labor and
Friends in the United States-Dear Sirs
and Brothers: Events in the industrial
affairs of our people have rapidly
changed and are rapidly changing.
The trade union movement, as ex-
pressed by the American Federation
of Labor, has kept and proposes to
keep pace Herewith.
The wheels of industry cannot be
halted or turned back, nor should
they be, even if that were possible.
Welcoming industrial progress, labor
must be ever alert to meet new condi-
tons, recognizing that eternal vigi-
lance is the price of industrial as well
as political liberty.
The working people cannot hope to
maintain their rights or progressive
position in the varying phases of mod
ern society unless they organize and
exercise all those functions which, as
workmen and citizens, it is their privi-
lege and their duty to exercise
Labor makes no demand upon gov
eminent or society which is not
equally accorded to all the people of
our country. 1t can and will be salts
fled with nothing else.

States have in their messages to con-

people, but congress has been entirely
preoccupied looking after the interests
