GOOD UNION MEN
And What Goes Toward the Making
of Them.

The printers, who have been on
strike for several months past, as
well as other trades unioniSts, can
and do most heartily endorse this
definition of Il 'Egood union man.
as given by the editor Of the ANAL
gamatcd journal:
The good union man is he who,
insisting upon proper wages and
working conditions, also has re-
sp"ct for the rights of his employer
and does not regard him ncceSsari-
ly i'll the light of IN enemy.
He who, while dcploring the
mistakes of the nonunioniStS, new
erthelesS sympathizcs with him in
his scli-impoScd hard lot and en-
deavorS by both word and act to
prove To him that it is his duty to
join the union.
He to whom violence is at all
times repnngent.
lie who is thrifty, sober, pro-
vides well for his family, and loves
their companionShip.
He who loves peace. preferring
not to fight the employer, yet is
sensitive To unjust treatment and
* not Il coward.
He who is not afraid to go inn
mediately to the employer and in a
straightforward, manly way point
out injustice and insist upon having
the same righteu.
lie who opposes strikes and con
sents TO them only when all other
means of righting wrongs have ut
terly failed.
He who, when he goes on IL
strike, stays out until the wronghiS
righted.

SERMON IN SLANG;
Or, NJ. Dash's Story OF An Honest
Man.

Strange as it may seem, there
was born among thu publicans OF
the big city an honest man, whose
sole desire IN this world was to do
good unto his fellow man. He had
none of the cravings of the many
who We're about him to do his fell
low-man good. He lived a straight
life and preached the doctrine Of
extreme honesty until he used to
get red in the face and look rs
though he was going to have an at,
tack of apopleNS. Some of the
wicked men who claimed to be next
to his game declared he was too
honest, and that his professions OF
equity to all mankind was merely
a stall that he might get :, hack at
the real treasure chest ono of these
days, when it was full, and make Il
killing; but despite their SANDER
he Went on being good, and when
1T became known abroad that he
had never landed Il crooked dollar
people came miles to sec him, and
several museum proprietorS made
him big offers. He declined them
Will ScOfn- :tiltl IpltcfalSu MS state
mcnt that he wanted no easy mon
ey and would only accept that
which he had earned by the sweat
OF his brow. He worked for 81 10
per diem. but was happy in the
knowledge that he was doing right,
and that virtue was its own re-
ward. One unluclly day he was
walking across the main street
when deep-dycd sinner, who had
made a lot of tainted money in the
icc.buSincsS and who was known
as Il bold, bad robber of the poor
and defcnSelcsS, came daShing
along iii an automobile and ran
over him, killing him instantly
and spreading his manglcd remains
over four blocks of asphalt pave
ment. His soul was instantly
waited to its heavenly reward, and
he spent the balance of eternity in
Paradise. The wicked automobile
iSt was arrested and fined $40 for
exceeding the speed limit.

be happy, but the good die young.

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
John Martheson, a Blacksmith EN-
ployed in Seavoy's Camp,
Struck by Duluth Train.

John Martheson, employed as a
blacksmith in Meador Seavoy s
lumber camp, was struck by the
passenger train which runs between
Duluth and this village, Sunday
evening, and was killed.
1t appears that Martheson in COM
pany with several others employed
10 the camp, came to l. Anse during
the day, and after having returned
to the camp, he decided to come
back to this village, and started out
alone along the railroad.
The general supposition is that
he had lain down beside the track
and had fallen asleep, and did not
hear the approaching train.
AS soon as possible after the
accident was discovered the in
jured man was brought to L'Anse,
where he was given medical assist
ance aud where it was discovered
that he had been hit on the head,
leaving hole in the skull several
inches in diameter.
The unfortunate man lived until
about 1870 o'clock Monday after
neon. The body was prepared for
burial and placed in the local ceme-
terry.
Martheson was a married man.
but it is some years since he had
lived with his family, who reside in
Finland, and who could not be
located.

DEATH BY
ELECTRICITY.
Eugene Sherette Met a Horrible FATE
Friday Evening While FoolinS
With an Arc Lamp.

One of the saddest and most ap'
palling accidents which has taken
place in this village in some time,
occurred Friday evening, at about
eight o'clock, at which time Eugene
Sherette, the 14-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Sherette, was killed
by shock of electricity.
Young Sherette, in company with
Louis Boiyin and Neil Shea, was
walking along Railroad street, and
when at the corner OF Third street,
they noticed that the arc lamp sta
toned there was not burning and
Sherette remarked to his compan-
ions that he would cause it to light.
He then took hold of the pully line
and shook the lamp, which it APP
pears had been done before in SINH
lar instances, thus causing the car
bons to ignite.
His companions state that he had
no sooner grasped the line, when
he was lifted from the ground dis
tance of several inches. with sparks
of electricity issuing from his heels
and suddenly thrown face downward.
They FASTENED to his side, and made
every effort to arouse him but failed.
Word was quickly dispatched to
Drs. Zellen, who were soon on the
scene. For two hours they worked
to preserve the slight pulsation
which at that time still existed, but
their labors were unrewarded, and
at 10 O'Clock he was pronounced
dead, and the body removed to
the home OF his parents.
While the accident is a very sad
one and causes deep regret. it will
certainly be a lasting lesson of
warning to those who have fre-
quently attempted to do as Sherette
had intended. 1t will not be amiss
to again state that the village has
employed an experienced electrician
in charge OF the lighting plant,
whose business it is to attend to
any defects in the system, and not
that of the public. No person S
duty should go further than to
notify the proper official. Had such
been the case Friday evening, the
accident would not have occurred.
At the hour of going to press ar
rangements for the funeral had not
been made.

Mr.. O'Connell claims that anyone
may become d crack shot by prac-
tice, and not $50 much of that as
many are lead 10 believe. He says
the main thinks are a perfect rifle
and perfect sights on the same. All
the old fashiontd sights have long

ments in arms, stc. Mr.. O'Connel

ing and correct vocal method. His
singing was always true to the pitch
and OF an exceptionally rich quality.
Mr.. w. E. Sackett's first appear
ance was in the accompaniment to
the quartette, showing him to be an
artist in this difficult branch OF the
musical art, but it was in his two
appearances as piano soloist that he
stamped himself a thorough musi-
clan and an artist of the highest
rank. The beautiful tone color in
the Schumann, Novelette,, ''and the
brilliancy of technique in the Chopin
Polonaise, will long be remembered
with pleasure by those who heard
him..
L'Ause is particularly favored by
having tenor singer with a voice
of beauty and range such as is pos
sessed by Mr.. H. N. Aldrich. He
was heard to advantage in the most
widely known and effective compost
tion by Dudley Buck, Fear Ye
Not, o Israel. " His enuniciation
was clear and distinct, and his tone
pure and of an agreeable quality. 1t
was pleasing to observe that he
ranked so favorably with the visit
ing artists.
The quartette consisting OF Miss
Emma d. Menge, Miss Aurelia
Murphy, Mr. H. N. Aldrich and Mr..
Alvin Gillett, opened the program
with the pleasing an d
difficult ''Bedouin Song The en-
semble was all that could be desired
and it was regretted that they were
only heard in this one number, The
quartette was a fitting opening for
this delightful recital.
Miss Helen Nj. Theobald was the
accompanist of the evening, and this
difficult and usually thankless task
was performed by her with the
ease and grace of a professional. She
is possessed of good technique aud

In this recital Mr.. Morphy justify
verified all that had been said of him
prior to his appearance in our
village, and readily ranked him in
the minds Of his audience as one Of
the best young American violin
virtuosos. His left hand technique
has the brilliancy and sure intona-
tion of the strict German school,
while his style of bowing, distinct
ly of the French school, is graceful
in the extreme, producing a tone
marvellous 10 beauty and power.
His versatility was remarkably dis
played in the Polonaise, Legende
Concerto, as well as the pleasing
encores Canzonetta, by GODDARD and
Cavatine, by Raft. These numbers
are OF o diverse character and de-
manded widely different treatment.
In the playing of them Mr.. Morphy' s
ample musicianship, as well as his
masterly skill as violinist, were
freely demonstrated.
Mr.. Alvin E. Gillett, baritone,
sang his numbers in an admirably
artistic style, which called forth
spontaneous applause, and we're re-
sponded to with pleasing encores.
He is the possessor OF an excellent
baritone voice, under perfect con-
troll and fully demonstrated that he
has had only the best musical train
