JOKE ON THE CONGRESSMAN.
Waiter Drew Wrong Inference from
Guests Attitude.

A Georgia congressman gleefully
tells of an experience during his last
visit to New York.
The representative had put up at an
American-plan hotel. When, upon sit
ting down at dinner the first evening
of his stay, the waiter obsequiously
handed him bill of fare, the con-
gresham tossed it aside, slipped the
waiter a dollar bill, and said. Bring
me good dinner"
The dinner proving satisfactory, the
southern member pursued this plan
during his entire stay in New York.
AS the last tip was given, he men
toned that he was about to return to
Washington.
Whereupon, the waiter. with an ex-
preston of great earnestness, said:
"Well, sir, when you or any of your
friends that can't read come to New
York, just ask for Dick.

Labor Day Children's Chorus.

Announcement is made that the Labor
day committee of the Central Labor Union
will hold the last rehearsal of the children's
chorus tomorrow afternoon at o'clock,
at Typographical Temple, on street. The
children who will participate in the chorus
are the sons and daughters of the men,
bers Of the affiliated local unions attached
to the Central Labor Union.
There will be about 500 children in the
chorus, and they will be the guests of the
Labor day committee. They will be fur
nished with free transportation and free ad-
mission tickets to the park and will also be
provided with refreshments after the exer-
cises. The public speaking and the singing
of the children will take place immed,-
ately after the field games, which will be
about O'Clock. Mrs. Effie Fay Berry will
have charge of the children, and Leader
John Bovello Of the Greater Washington
Band will conduct the singing. The commit
tee on field games has added as an attrac-
ton base ball contest between the Navy
Department and st. Stephens teams. The
tug of war between the sheet metal work
ers and the machinlsts will be holly con-
tested, as great rivalry exists between both
unions as to the physical strength Of its
members.
Bicycle contests and several sprinting
races are scheduled for the day. The follow
ing are the speakers: Charles p. NeiIl, COM
missioner Of labor; Il. v. Powderly bu-
reau of immigration; Crandall Mackey, COM
