PLUMBERS SUCCESSFUL ENTER
TAINMENT.
By far the most entertaining event that
has ever taken place in the Labor temple
since the establishment OF the same as
the headquarters for the working people
was that held last evening under the
auspices of the Plumbers union.
The occasion was the installation OF the
officers and IL was made the gala occa-
sion for the Mon. In order that the af-
fair might be the more memorable and
enjoyable, the union had number OF it's
members prepare a tableau in the form
Of a mock trial, and the way the young
mon went through their parts shows that
some OF them have missed their calling
or they will make bright and shining
marks In the work that they have made
theirs for life.
The mock trial was a success in it's en-
tirety and there was but one break in
the whole thing and that was so slight
that II was not perceptiblc to the hall
full Of men. Every man entered into the
part which he was playing with his whole
soul, so that the performance was about
as real as could well be made.
The trial was n breach OF promise suit
and the pleading OF the lawyers and the
acting of the plaintiff and the defendant
were so good as TO put TO blush the eff
forts of those who make the calling OF
acting a livelihood. Michael McKenna.
