Who Discovered the Head of the Mississippi? To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘This evening's Stam contains a fresh airing of Capt. Glazier's old chestnut, that the head of the father of waters is Elk lake instead of Lake Itasca. ‘The principal moat in this nut is to immortalize the rediscoverer of a well- known fact by substituting the frigid name of Glazier for that of Elk. ‘The wiole subject of what really is the head of the Mississippi river was as fully understood forty yours ago by the early settlers ia Minnesota as it is now or ever will be. It was as fully discussed by the early settlers and was as well understood by them that the waters of Elk lake ran into Itasca lake ds it is now. I distinctly remember that James W. Vincent, Sylvanus B. Lowry and John Banfil among the early settlers of Minnesota then as strenuously maintained that Elk lake was the true bead of the tiver as Capt. Glazier doesnow, forty years after, but neither of them had the cheek to propeve, his own name for the name of that lake. If Mr. J. F. Williams, secre! the Minnesota Historical Society at St. Paul, will carefully look over the files in his office of the old Pioneer, published by James M. Goodhue in 1849, 1850 and 1851, I think he will find articles upon this subject fully covering all of Capt. Glazier's later rediscoverios. And as further proof that this subject was under dis- cussion and understood at that time I quote as follows: @ 530, “Itasca lake, into which flow the head waters of the iP] is situated,” &o.

The attendance at the opening of the session was not as large as usual, but the seats gradually filled up and the proceedings were as interesting as on the two previous days. A final adjournment will be reached this evening, and the delegates con- sider that the meeting has been a very success- falone. PRAISE FOR THE LOCAL COMMITTER. ‘The arrangements made by the committee of the local exchange for the comfort and enter- tainmont of the visitors are highly appreciated and have contributed very materially to the succese of tho annual eibering.

At the session this morning the action of the convention yesterday in fixing the time for holding the next convention as the first Tues- day in Febranry was reconsidered. The exec- utive board was authorized to call the conven- tion at a date that in their discretion seemed to the best. Milwaukee was selected as the place for holding the next convention. The report of the labor committee was received stating that they had hada con- ference with a committee from the journey- mon tailors’ association, and their recommenda- tion that the exchange co-operate with a com- mittee from the journeymen’s association to secure the better enforcement of the tariff laws was referred to the tariff committee. ‘The proposition made by the St. Louis ex- change that the members of the various ex- changes keep a record of the efficiency of the Journeymen employed by them which could be ued by the men in applying for employment was referred toa special committee, which will report at the next convention. AGAINST A MONTHLY PAPER. ‘The recommendation of the secretary that monthly paper be issued as the official organ of the exchange was reported adversely by the committee to which it was referred and the re- port was adopted. It was stated by those in favor of the issue of a newspaper that it would be a medium of keeping the members informed. of what was being done by the officers of the exchange, and also of such matters as would be’ of general interest. One of the delegates, however, suggested that there was already too much printed matter FASHION PLATES FROM REAL LIFE. and the result was that the members did not have time to read it all. It was thought that the voluminous report of the proceedings of the national body and the privilege accorded ‘0 the officers to send to the members any in- formation that might be usefal to them would be sufficient. For those reasons it was thought that there was no need of an official hewspaper organ and the convention coincided wi view.

Mr. Conrad Mizer, who is a prominent member of the Cleveland exchange, and who represents the exchange in the convention, was not able to get to this city in time to at- tend the opening sessions. Ho was on hand on Wednesday and his fellow-members were glad to see him, especially those who are connected with the executive board,who received a good many attentions from Mr. Mizer when they met in Cleveland. While this is the last day of the convention yet the program of entertainment provided by ths lool sathauge extends uvertomorrow, As the guests of the Washington exchange the delegates and their ladies will visit Mount Ver- non tomorrow and inthe evening they will be escorted to the Corcoran Art Gallery. Last evening the delegates saw the play at the Academy of Music as the guests of the local xchange. ‘There were over 200 in the party, and as they were all in full dress the spect presented was brilliant. —— SHOOTING STARS, “That money talks” is very plain The phrase has wit and force; No doubt from money men obtain A conte-ible discourse. “Do you think that Bertic's cigarettes are killing him?" asked this young man's mother. “I don't know about that,” replied hisfather, “but I doubt very much whether his friends "t think I shall call on Miss Nippings again,” he said reflectively. “Why?” “She mado use of the expression ‘the late un- pleasantnose’ last night.” “What of that?” “She said it in » way that left mein doubt as to whether she meant me or the war.” That simple ailment which of old Physicians merely called a cold.

SS SS as NORTHEAST CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATION. Another Interesting Meeting to Consider the Interests of That Locality. A second meeting of the Northeast Washing- ton Citizens’ Association was held last evening, attended by large number of the citizens of that locality and the neighborhood hood of Ivy City. The organization was com- pleted by the adoption of a constitution and by-laws, the securing of « permanent place of meeting and the appointment of standing com- mittees, to Whom the business of petitioning Congress and the District Commissioners and urging upon those authorities the necessity of improvements in the interested localities was assigned, including the formulation of bills designed to meet the demands to be presented A LIVELY TIME At the Final Seasion of the Foremen Custom Tailors’ Association. SENSITIVE ON REMARKS MADE ABOUT CHICAGO, BUT EVERYTHING 18 SMOOTHED OVER AND THE CONVENTION ADJOURNS IN THE BEST OF HUMOR— NEW OFFICERS ELECTED. ‘The Foremen Custom Tailors’ Association, which bas been in session at Willard’s since Monday. closed its convention today. It was the most successful and enthusiastic in the history of the organization The final session this morning wasan un- Usually lively one and came very near to being too lively and spirited for ite own welfare. The election of officers gave rise to consider- able fecling, as it was charged that the Chicago men were endeavoring to keep all the officers in the west. This dificulty, however, was finally settled amicably and to the satisfaction of all sides. morning one of the ere in his eddrese’ criticisod the ‘ction of the Chit cago association on a certain occasion and this was construed as an attack upon Chicago. Some very pointed remarks were made, but the troubled seas were soon calmed down and a motion was made and carried that all that part of the specch that referred to Chicago should be expunged from the minutes of the society. The convention broke up with the best of spirit prevaling and it was very evident that no bard fecling had been en- gendered. THE PRIZES AWARDED. Last ovening the members of the association took part in a handsome banquet at Willard’s. During the dinner the decision of the judges in the contest for made-up garments was announced and the following prizes were awarded: First prize, a gold medal, diamond setting, A. C. Anderson, Chicago, for Prince Albert coat. There was no award of the gold modal for second prize, as the garments failed to come up to the requirements, but a first rize diploma was awarded to John L. Vivian, “Norwich, diploma for Indies’ inverness was awarded to H. Barker, jr., of Galorburg, Il; second prize dipioma for cheviot full dress suit, semi-oriental style, electric blue, to Edward Dowd, Chicago; third prize diploma for cut away frock, Henry Nelson. Spok: Falls, Wash.; fourth prize diploma, Francis J. Strassell of Louisville, Ky., for combination and novelty in trousers. THE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU. ‘The members of the association were rather slow in gathering for the morning mecting to- day owing to the fact that tho banquet occu- ied their attention until a Inte hour last night. it was 10 o'clock when President Shepherd rapped for order and called for the re- ports of tho committces still out. Mr. €. J. Stone, manager of the employment bu- Teau, an important feature of the association, made a brief verbal report of what had been done in the way of supplying work for cutters who are out of employment. Mr. Stone said that it would be well if the A CUTTER WHO KNOWS HIS BUSINESS. members of the association would lethim know of any vacanies they might hear of. As it is now applicants are sent to him in great nut bers whether they are members of the associa- tion or not, but no one interests himeelf in finding places for the men out of a job. Ap- plicants come into his store at the rate of from six to ten a day, all seeking work. ‘The auditing committee made its report, in which they found the accounts of the treasurer, Mr. H. E. Parker, jr., correct in every partic lar. There was still a balance of $262.95 in the treasury, with all bills paid. CREDIT DUE To THE CUTTER During the time that the committee on nom- inations was preparing ite report Mr. J. O. Madison, representing a New York trade pub- lishing company, was given the privilege of speaking before the convention. The world generally, he said, did not give the cutter proper credit for the skill and intellectual avility used in fitting a coat. The correct drafting of a coat is not a mere matter of me- chanical rule. tape measure does not do it all. In all professions, he said, allowance is made for mistakes, but in the ‘tailoring busi- ness every failure is ascribed to inexcusable carelessness and trade ignorance. A doctor is not blamed for not curing every disease nor is a lawyer expected to win every case he pleads To @ man properly is as difficult a mat- ter as to weigh s comet or carve statue. A man's figure changes constantly and his fiesh is by no means rigid.

Yet with all this the cutter contend with the vast army of cranks who do not know what they want until they see it, but make a fuss if they don’t get it. and those ‘who don't know what they want, wouldn't know it if they should see it, and wouldn't like it if “The api of art, said the speak Suet spirit er, - ing in the minds of the cutters of the land and is finding ite expression in their outward life and work. | During tho past quarter of a century the tailors trade advanced from the int where it poi was universally laughed at and ridiculed to a business of such admitted art characteristics thas eubetantial business men are wiling to hea vices for its lucts.
