MAIN OBJECTS OF THE ORGANIZATION Plans Perfected for the Observance of Labor Day. THE OFFICIAL PROGRAM oe The Star has on a previous occasion printed a history of th local Federation of Labor and District Assembly, No. 66, Knights of Labor, and a sketch of the Central Labor Union and Building Trades Ceuneil, which follows, is now for the first time given to the public. Previoas to 1806 there were no trades union central body in the District of Co- lumbia. This condition was not favorable to trad> unionism, and to bring about a better state of affairs between employers and employes, a preliminary meeting was held at Typographical Temple February 9, 1807, at which it was decided to issu2 a call to all union organizations to send three delegates to a meeting to be held March 23, following. Pursuant to the call the following organizations were repre- sentd: Amaigamated Society of Carpen- ters, Granite Cutters’ Branch, Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Bricklayers’ Union No. 1, Bakers’ and Confectioners’ Union, Stereotypers’ Union, Columbia ” Musicians’ ‘Association, Cigar Makers’ Union, Brother- heod of Carpenters, Typographical Union, Steam and Hot Water Fitters’ Association and Engineers’ Union. Milford Spohn was chosen chairman of the meeting. A reso- lution was unanimously adopted, to the ef- fect “That the meeting proceed to form a permanent organization and pledge the members to further the interests of said or- ganization.” ‘Th: following permanent officers were then elected: President, Milford Spohn, of sricklayers’ Union; vice president, William Silver, Granite Cutters’ Branch; secretary, F C. Roberts, Typographical Union; treas~ urer, J. D. McKay, Amalgamated Carpen- EFS" objects of the Organisation. objects of the Central Labor Union are declared to be to unite the various bona fide labor organizations of the city and vicinity and assist in the formation where non2 exist, s> that a brotherhood may be formed for the defense of the rights and the protection of the interests of the labor masses. To use its utmost endeavors to impress upon the various branches of labor the necessity of maintaining a more perfect organization of their trade, craft and calling: to use all honorable means in our power to arbitrate difficulties that may arise between workers and their employ and while the federation has no desire to dictate to individual bodies as to matter of T hours and compensation, we pledge our- selves to assist them in any just demand they m make, financially, to the best of our lity Milford Spohn retired from the presidenc in January of the current year, and Nor- man C. Sprague of the Printing Pressmen’s Union was chosen to succeed him. At the expiration of the term in Jul tH. G Szegedy of the Plate Printers’ Union was elected president, which position he now holds.

The Building Trades Council. The Building Trades Council of Washing- ton, D. C., was organized September 18, 184. For some time previous to the or- ganization of the body the observant mem- bers of the building craft were convinced of the necessity for a combination of the local building trades for the objects, as stated in the constitution of the council, to so ¢ tlize the united efforts and exper- ience in building line that they may form one compact body, with common in- erests, to prevent that which may be in- verly perfect and carry into et that which they deem advantageous to themselves and for the common good of Lomax of the Brotherhood of Car- 190, was elected the first presi presided for two terms. He wa George Suter of Carpenter: who, after serving one term, eded by P. J. O'Brien of the same organ‘:ation, who, after one term, relin- hed the gavel to Dennis Ferry of Brick- Union, who, after presiding four left the city, and William Silver the Granite Cutters’ branch was elected to fill the unexpired term, after which he was re-elected for five consecutive term: In January, 189%, Richard Lants of th Steamiitters’ n was elected Mr. s i until June having entered when Mr. Silver fill the unexpired term. izing the benefits of national affil- jation, the council, in*response to a call from the Building Trades Cour of St. Louis for the formation of a national coun- cil, sent Mr. toa John P. Healey as a delegate assembled in that At this convention ional Building Trades Council was in- «d and the local council became affil- lated therewith on Januray 1298. The council was never recognized as a ntative body by District Assembly 66 and the local Federation of Labor, and in the those latter part of 186, as the result of bodies refusing to recognize the jur- 2 of the council in the matter of a which had bi imposed on the . a number of organizations The council, however, was main- ed, and by wise conservative methods secured the respect and favor of those of the building industri Within the present year the organizations of the tinners, tile-layers, soft-stone cut- ters, plasterers and Carpenters’ Union No. 1 have been admitted, and, with the exception of one organization, every building trade of the city ts represented in the council. The officers of the counctl are as follows: William Silver, president: H. L. Btreb, | Vice president: J. P. Healey, pro tem. re- cording secretary; J. Carmody, financial secretary: Andrew Murray, treasurer; O. P. Cox, sergeant-at-arms: William Marsh, fraternal delegate to Central Labor Union. Schedule of Dances.

The: explosion of a leaky -g@soline: stove in a. frame house on Good Hope road yes- terday afternoon, dbout 3 o'clock, caused @ fire which totally destroyed the building, as well as a second one a short distance in thecrear. An alarm was turned in-from box #18, atthe German Orphan Asylum. The scene of the fire was some hundreds cf yards above the asylum, on the south side of the road, and about half way up Good Hope hill. Engines No. 15 and No. 8 of Anacostia and truck A ‘responded. It Froved to. be an awful strain on the horses attached to the fire apparatus to climb the steep hill in the heat. The water main up Good Hope hill ends near the German Orphan Asylum, and from the plug near this place the men of No. 15 company had ‘to stretch about 1,600 feet of hose to reach ‘the burning buildings. After some time it became necessary to station No. 8, as the more powerful en- gine, at the plug. It is said that on ac- count of the hill the water supply was searce. The firemen worked from 3 o'clock until after 5 o'clock, and by their hard work succeeded in saying adjoining prop- erty. The first building was owned by George Ridgeway, white, and was occupied by the colored family of Charles Stewart. The owner's loss is about $1,300, partly covered by insurance. Stewart's loss amounts to $300, with no insurance. The second house Was owned and occupted by Daniel Brown, colored. His loss is in the nelghborhood of $1,200; no insurance. Brown was injured slightly by having the brick chimney of his house fall upon him as he was looking around his second story after the fire. Mr. David T. N. Shanks, who a short time ago received an urgent request from the Houser family near Cavetown, Wash- ington county, Md., to locate young Sam- uel Houser, who was believed to have ecme to Washington with an alleged pen- sion agent, has received information that the young man returned to his home Wed- nes lay. It is learned that young Houser was in Washington with the man who represented himself to be a pension agent. It is said that Houser returned home with no money, theugh he had $15 when he left home. The statement is made that detectives are in search of the pension agent for shady practices in Washington county. What young Houser’s story about him ts is not known. Mr. John E. Powell, United States in- spector of electric lighting, whose home, “Rese Croft,” is near here, left last even- ing for New York, where he will take steamer Saturday for Paris. Mr. Powell goes to Paris as a member of the United States Paris exposition committee. Mr. Pewell states that he will probably be home by October 15. It is said he will con- cern himself chiefly with the electrical ex- hibit while in Parts. Rev. C. O. Isaac of the Anacostia M. E. Church has returned from a visit to nis home at Ellicott City; Md.

He will deliver a sermon every Sat- urday morning, and, as he comes with highest recommendations, the services for the coming season are looked forward to with great interest.

Take the Blue Line flyers. —Advertisement eg eee The Escort Question, To the Editor of The Eveuing Star: If the District regiment does not want an escort, that ought to settle it. In many respects it would be a wise decision for all concerned. Nothing is more tiresome than waiting for a procession. Everybody wants to see the heroes of Santiago, but there are not many who care to stand the fatiguo cf waiting for a long line of escorts to form and march. But let the boys themselves decide the question. It seems now as if many of the soldiers will be too weak to march. Carriages should be provided for the sick ones. .As they will have to ride to their homes any- how, the sick and wounded might as well appear in the procession in carriages. THOMAS W.

Butler kas written the follow- ing note to Mr. Castelberg: My staff has presented to me the four- leaf clover designed by: you at their re- quest. I desire to say that I consider thi« badge of tha.24 Army Corps, both in design ‘workmanship, most excellent in every Tespect. EXCURSIONS, Those in this city may never again have such an opportunity to see so many United States war vessels together as is now af- forded by the huge fizet off Old Point Com- fort. .There are probably fifty fighting crafts at anchor there, with new arrivals every day. The cruiser San Francisco, Ad- miral Howell's flagship, is still in the Roads and th2 waters are dotted with any num- ber of gunboats, converted gunboats, auxil- lary cruisers, torpedo boats, etc. The offi- cers on board are glad to have, visitors come and be shown over the vessels, as well as to learn all about the crews, v:s- sels, guns, machinery and other details that are wonderfully interesting to the landsmen. Those who took advantage of the reduced rates off2red by the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company last Saturday know what a delightful time they had, especially when visiting the fleet. The same reduced rates will be in >ffect tomor- row evening, and, Monday being Labor day, the tick2ts will be good to return either on Sunday or Monday evening. The elegant steamer of the Norfolk and Wash- ington line will leave 7th street wha-f to- morrow evening at 6:30, arriving at Fort- ress Monroe early Sunday morning. Instead of diminishing in popularity as the season advanced, the reduced rat> ex- cursions to Arlington on the electric trains of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon railway have steadily increased in favor since they were inaugurat>d. The reduced rate in force on Sunday makes a trip to Arlington a very economical way of spending the morning and evening. Arling- ton is one of the most beautiful places for many miles about th2 city, with its shady walks, huge old trees, beautiful grounds and fragrant flowers. Electric trains leave the station at 13% street and Pennsylvania avenue every forty-five minutes during the day and avening. Reduced rates will also be in effect over this line between this city and Alexandria on Sunday. The delightful evening sail to Marshall Hall _and Indian Head on the steamer Crarles Macalester will soon b2 a thing of the past, as far as this season is concern ed. The evening trips to Marshall Hall and Indian Head this evening and tomor- row may be the last two outings of th= season, 8o that a large crowd is sur> to be on hand to take a farewell ride down the Pctomac, on the Macalester. These rides will be rendered doubly enjoyable to many on account of the full moon shining during th> ride home and bathing the water and the shores with silvery light, making the whole scene almost as bright as day. Steamer Charles Macalester leaves 7th street wharf at 6:30 p.m., stopping at Mar- shall Hall both ways. Those who spend the day at the Hall can take the evening sail to Indian Head without any extra charge. Three trips will be made to Mar- shall Hall on Sunday, th> Macalester leav- ing at 11 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. This gives a chance to spend the entire day at Marshall Hall, or to take the evening sail and return home in the moonlight. There is no need of being bothered with lunch bask2ts, as the Marshall Hall table d’hote dinners will be served on the arrival of the steamer. One of the pleasantest ways of spending an evening that the “stay-at-homes” can enjoy is to take the cars of the Georgetown and Tenieytown railway and go for a ride to West Chevy Chase and Bethesda Park. The railway runs through part of the pret- tiest portions of the District, the road for the greater part of the way being about on a level with the monument. Besides the fresh country air and cool breezes that one enjoys the ride affords a view of the naval observatory, “Red Top,” the former home of ex-President Cleveland; the American University, Cleveland Park, “Grassland,” the late residence of Mr. Whitney, Presi- dent Cleveland's Secretary of the Na Fort Reno, the highest point in the Di: trict, and many spots and places intimately connected with the colonial days. The elec. tric cars of the Georgetown and Tenle; town railway connects at 32d and M streets with the avenue cars, and at 32d and P streets with the F street cars every ten minutes during the day and evening. The war with Spain and the pressure of business after peace was declared has kept many of the government employes confined to their desks all summer.

Corporal Joseph Murphy of the marine corps, who has spent nearly fifteen years in the service, was arrested in Georgetown last night by Policeman House on a charge of disorderly conduct, Having no funds at hand Murphy had to spend the night in the lock-up. “I’m guilty,” he pleaded, when arraigned in the Police Court this morning, and the officer who arrested him said it was an ordinary case. When Judge Kimball had imposed a pen- alty of $5 or fifteen days, the defendant asked that he be permitted to go and get the money. “I can’t do that,” the judge told him, “but I’ telephone to the barracks for yeu. “It’s hardly worth while to telephone there at this time of the month,” said Mur- yhy, “but I can get it in the neighbor- o0d.”” Policeman Brennan, who was in court, volurteered to go with him, His kindness was greatly appreciated by the defendant. Keeping Unlicensed Bars, Thomas Butler today pleaded guilty of keeping an unlicensed bar, and Judge Kim- ball fined him 8250, with the.alternative of 4 ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. Fiftieth Anniversary Meeting aud Part Taken by Washingtonians. The fiftieth anniversary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science was held last week in Boston, and the con- tingent of scientific men who went from Washington to be present on that occa- sion have pretty nearly all returned. In point of numbers Washington had the third largest repreeentation, and the names of its representatives were Cconepicuous ones in the annals of science. Among the past presidents who were on the platform at the meetings of the gen- eral session were Prof. Simon Newcomb, formerly of the United States Nautical Almanac, and Prof. William Harkness of the United States naval observatory. Also in attendance at the meetings of the sec- tion on astronomy and kindred subjects was Prof. J. R. Eastman, who js president of the Washington Academy of Sciences. It is almost imporsible to enumerate the names of those whe were present, but from the bureau of ethnology there ‘were Mr. McGee and Miss Alice Fletcher; from the Department of Agriculture there were Mr. John Hyde, the statistician, and Mr. Ewell of the department of chemistry, as well as Dr. L. O. Howard of the department cf ethnology, who is general secretary of the association. The Zcelogical Park was rep- resented by Dr. Frank Baker, and the United States geological survey by Mr. Marcus Baker and Mr. W. H. Dall. The National Museum was represented by Dr. F. W. True of the division of mamma's and Dr. Marcus Benjamin, the editor. From Columbian University there were Prof. Charles E. Munroe and Prof. Peter Fireman. Nearly all of the persons mentioned pre- sented papers before the association, and obviously no mention can be made of all. but attention may be called to two papers Presented before the association, ich will make the fiftieth anniv a memorable one. They 3 dress on the lessons of the war read by President Eliot of Harvard University ir Sanders’ Theater the evening of Augus: 24, and the address by Dr. Charles F. Brush, who has turued aside from his work in connection with the electric light to re- sume his studies in chemistry. He an- rounced at this meeting the discovery by himself of one or more new elements in the atmosphere, thus rivaling Lord Ray leigh and Sir William Ramsey, wh nt covery of argon was the conspicuous event at the Oxford meeting of the British asso- ciation a few years ago, and gained for these gentlemen the Hodgkins prize of $10,000, given by the Smithsonian Institu- tion. The next meeting of the association wil) be held in Columbus, Ohio, under the pres- idency of Edward Orton, the geologist. In the distribution of the other hono Washington was not ignored, for the prezi- Gency of the section on anthropology was given to Prof. Themas Wilson of the Na- tional Museum, 2nd Dr. Marcus Benjam!n recelved the presidency of the section on economic science and statistics, while Dr. F. W. True was made secretary of the sec- tion on zoology. A Blaze of Light. The corner of F and 13th streets was last night one blaze o‘ Nght for a radius of hun- dreds of feet from Langlois’ Foot Form Skoe Shop. The prcprietor has erected in bis F street wirdow probably the largest inside electric sign in America, and the first sign in this city made up of regular sign lamps. The 150 lamps spell the story of thi store’s brsiress—“Langlois Foot Form.” A beautiful white front, white marble flooring, deep white curtain and brass trimmings and lettering form an ar- tistic tout ensemble. ————— Had Been Rude to Him. Clement A. Fitzgerald was today fined $5 by Judge Kimball for assaulting Henry Sherwood. The accused admitted the charge, and said he “thrashed” Sherwood because the latter had been rude to him on a Glen Echo car. The fine was paid. ———— Reduced Rates Account ational Labor Day, September 5, 1898.

Y., under date of August 2), 1808, as follows: “Well, I am located here in ward N. gen- eral hospital, and have just finished dinner. Am being cared for by the Red Cross @o- ciety. Everything is as nice as can be, and we are being fed on heavy diet. I guess Ii will get a furlough Tuesday or Wednesday, and, if so, you may look for me home the latter part of this week. ; “This is a paradise to Cuba, and we have) plank walks and the floors in the hospital are built three feet up off the ground; so} you see, with a nice spring bed and sheets. and, in fact, everything, including nice pa-| jamas and ‘slippers, we are perfectly at home. There is nothing the matier with! us but weakness caused from starvation. | Why, I was so weak on the boat that once,” while trying to walk without assistance, L| actually fell down.
