In a matrimonial way it I* very quiet,
the number of weddings have been tew
and far between, but as Judge Adams,Dr.
Wright and Major Fears will soon lead to
the altar rich Indian widows, we may ex-
pect a revival of the matrimonial boom.
It looks very much as if the widows of
the Territory were going to carry off the
most eligible gentlemen in Denison. The
following are on the list up to date:
Judge Adams, C. P. Fox, Dr. Horace
Miller, Dr. Wright and Major Fears.
The Gate City Social Club gave a
grand hop at Gallagher's Hall last Thurs-

will be, as well, a fitting celebration ot
the birthday of Washington. Further
notice will be made of the programme.
“Do you know that girl over by the
window?” said a young man at a recen.
Denison party to a second young man,
with whom he was but slightly acquaint-
ed. “Yes," replied the latter. “Well,
ot all the abominable gowns I ever saw,”
exclaimed the first speaker, “I think the
one she has on about caps the climax of
bad taste I would like to meet her simply
to discover what tort of intellect could
go with such millinery pyrotechnics;
couldn’t you present me?” “Certainly,”
exclaimed the accoated party, “she is my
sister.”
In the last issue of the Gaz*tt*er we
Intimated that Mr. Henry Burks, form-
erly of this city, and now of Big Springs,
was to be married, and from the follow-
ing clipping, taken from the Big Springs
Pantagrmph we notice that the happy
event has been consummated. That pa-
per says: “Mr. Henry E. Burks, of the
superintendent's office here, and Miss
I .aura C. Henry, of San Antonio, were
wedded at Fort Worth on Friday the 8th
inst , and the twain reached Big Springs
Saturday evening last. Mr. Burks is very
popular In railroad circles, and has a
large number of triends in this city who
offer to him and his bride their heartiest
congratulations—with the hope that pros-
perity and happiness may ever be theirs.”
The Gazetteer extends hearty con-
gratulations to Henry and his bride, and
wishes them God speed through life.
Mr. and Mr*. Sam Jackson, who reside

OUR NEIGHBORS.
It is th* object of the Gazzttzes to cultivat.
the most friendly relations with our neighbors it
t he Indian Territory, and we cannot accompli*)
this and in a better manner than to make your per
sonal acquaintance. When you visit the city please
call at the GazsTTBSn office where you will always
receive a hearty welcome.
The following prominent citisens of
the B. I. T., were in the city the past

Martin Chiney, a cattleman of the
Canadian district, Creek nation, was in

Dr. McCoy, one of the leading mer-
chants of the Choctaw nation, was a visi-
tor at the Gazetteer office Thursday.
The Doctor was en-route to Sherman
with his daughter, Miss Ella, who is at-
tending the Sherman Institute.
Mr. J. H Harris, the well-known mer-
chant of Colbert Station, called at Mur-
ray’s Steam Printing House, Thursday
morning.
Miss Vleca Colbert, a very pretty and
interesting young lady who resides near
the station, was shopping in the city
Wednesday. .
Mrs. Harper Williams of the Choctaw
nations, was in the city Thursday.
Walton James ot Atoka, I. T., was in

W. H. Adams of Lehigh, I. T., was in
the city Thursday.
Mr. D. W. Hodges, special Indian Po-
lice of Lehigh, I. T., was in the city,
Thursday, and paid the Gazetteer a
pleasant visit. While here Mr Hodges
left a large order for printing with Mur-
ray’s Steam Printing House.
Mr. C. H. Kingsbury of the nation, was
in the city Thursday, and paid the Gaz-
etteer office a friendly call. *
John W. Hodges of Atoka, I. T., ex-
officer of the nation, was in the city
Thursdav.
RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
The Gazetteer will devote particular attention
to railroad matters, more especially of s local
character. This will be one of the leading features
of this paper. We desire the co-operation ot rail-
wav employes. If vou know of any railway news
call or communicate with the Gazzttsb*.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Hog Cholera-
Intelligence from the Territory is to the
effect that thousands of hogs are dying
with the cholera. Geo. Gravens, who re-
sides in the Chickasaw nation, distant
from Denison about fifty miles, has lost
o.ter zoo head. Mr. Frank Colbert's en-
tire lot are nearly wiped out. Mr. Geo.
Otlneal, who has a farm near Carpen-
ter’s Bluff terry, is also a heavy loser.
The disease is spreading rapidly. Under
the circumstances we do not think It ad-
visable to eat hog meat.
Mr. Steve Hertwick, a resident of Deni-
son in pioneer days, died with hemor-
rhage of the bowels at the residence of
Mr. Hannifield, Wednesday. The de-
ceased had been in poor health for some
time. Mr. Hertwick arrived in the city
several weeks ago from Waco, with the
idea of locating here. He was a cabinet
maker by trade, and a splendid workman.
The remains werj conveyed to Fairview
cemetery nnder the auspices of the
Knights of Pythias, of which deceased
was a member. His wife arrived in
the city on the day of her husband’s
death.
During a recent visit to Dallas we called
at the headquarters of the Monumental
Bronze Company, and nad the pleasure of
meeting Mr. G W. Corning, the mana-
ger of the state agency. The agency is
located in the Grand Windsor block,
where they have an elegant suit of rooms.
Mr. Coming has statuary and monu-
ments on exhibition, which are elegant in
design and, so tar as we could see, perfect
in workmanship. The metal they use is
certainly beautiful in appearance and we
have no doubt of it> great durability. It
is claimed to be much cheaper than
granite or marble. We were also shown
medallions, life size, or larger, and other
work in this bronze. Mr. Corning has
made a proposition to furnish the city
with a monument to place over the re-
mains of Justin Raynal. See their adver-
tisement in this issue of the Gazetteer.
There was a report in circulation the
past week that the small-pox had ap-
peared at the Colonnade Hotel. There
are no grounds whatever for such a report.
There is no sickness at the hotel. The
report was traced to irresponsible payltes
who were arrested at the instance of Col.
Streeper.
From what we can learn, Mr. Nat
Decker Is innocent of the charge ot
squeezing the woman Metzler. She is
fully 50 vears of age and not calculated to
ejulte any passion iii the bosom of a cau-
tious man like Mr. Decker.
Mr. F. M. Cunningham has been ap-
pointed night operator at Atoka, I. T.
Roadmaster Connelly, of the Pacific,
was in the city the past week.
Hank Rush, tormerly conductor on the
Choctaw division, now yardmaster at
Bonham, was in the city the past week.
Frank Baldwin, late conductor on the
north end of the Pacific, was in the city
the past week en-route for the City of
Mexico.
A1 Crowley, who was formerly bag-
gagemaster on the T. P., was In the city
Tuesday.
Conductor Westbrook, of the H. & T.
C., has exchanged runs with Conductor
Tom Easton, who goes on the Tap be-
tween Ennis and Roberts.
J. D, Woodford, station agent of the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe, at Carter,
was in the city Monday.
Jim Beggs, the popular passenger con-
ductor on the Pacific, can tell a story
equal to BUI Nye.
Passenger engineer Jim Blair, of the
Pacific, who has been laid up several
weeks with rheumatism, has thrown his
cane aside and will soon be able to report
tor duty.
Chief Dispatcher Gavin, of the Pacific,
states that he knows nothing of the re-
port published in the Morning News to
the effect that he has been appointed to
the position of assistant superintendent
of telegraph for the Pacific and Interna-
tional roads.
It is reported that Mr. Rowley, who has
charge of the supply department of the
Pacific shops at this point, is to be mar-
ried in February. So we have got him on
the list at last.
Mr. John Condon, formerly passenger
conductor of the Pacific, is in the city
visiting his family. John has been north
for several weeks.
At Marshall last Saturday night the
operators in the telegraph department of
the T. P. R’y presented Warder Cum-
ming, retiring general superintendent,
with a fine gold-headed cane, suitably en-
graved .
Mike Cocoran, who has been section
boss on the Pacific for a long period, has
been appointed roadmaster on the Waco
division. The promotion is a recogni-
tion of long and faithful services Mike
is a thorough railroad man and will do
the company good service.
James Shone, foreman of the Mo.
Pacific blacksmith shop at Parsons, had
a close call the other day. He was pass-
ing through the shop when a bar of iron
slipped from the “roller” and was hurled
through the air with great force, passing
so close to Shone’s head as to cut the rim
of his hat. Had it struck him in the
head it would have killed him almost in-
stantly. Mr. Shone is a brother to Mr.
Sam Shone, who has charge ot the Pacific
blacksmith shops at this point.
Col. George H Noble, one of the most
efficient and popular railway men in the
southwest, has been appointed to the
superintendency of the T, P. R’y, a
position which he will hold with honor
and credit to himself.
Engineer Bob Mays, who has been
running between Denison and Taylor,
has been transferred to the Gainesville
division. The transfer is only for a short
time.
From the Marshall Herald of the 27th,
we get the following items:
In obedience to orders from the receiv-
ers there were 60 workmen discharged
from the T. P. shops and yard on last
Saturday, and a tew more were let out
yesterday. From what we can learn a
large majority of those discharged were
negroes. All were new men, who had
recently been employed on special work,
with the understanding that they would
not be needed longer than sixty or ninety
davs. It this is true, there can be no ob-
jection to their discharge There was
some excitement at the time, but it has
subsided, and work is going on as usual.
Yesterday morning a committee from
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
eers presented to Mr. Cumminga copv of
resolutions very complimentary to him
passed by the association. The resolu-
tions were received and answered with
high appreciation.
Considerable feeling has been engen-
dered imong our citizens the past week
ovor the rumor that the postoffice is to be
removed. We know nothing of Major
Maughs’ intentions, and have certainly
never heard him express any desire to
make a change of location. In the event
a change is made we think the Rennie
block on Rusk avenue, between Main and
Woodard streets, would be the best loca-
tion that could be selected, for the accom-
modation of the business community, and
it has the further advantage of greater se-
curity from fire. Two of these rooms
with a doorway connecting them, would
make a very convenient office by having
tite box office, general delivery, register,
money order and stamp departments in
one room and the mailing and general
business department in the other. The
low rent would also be a further recom-
mendation for this locality. Possibly
these rooms could not be secured; we
have no authority to say they could be,
and what we have said Is only by way of
suggestion in case a change is contem-
plated by the new postmaster, which is
improbable. We are disposed to think
the property holders on west Main
street are more scared than hurt by what
is only an idle rumor.
Now is the time to commence
your gardening. The best seeds for
this climate can be had of Perry
Brothers.
To TBS Show Pboflb —Murray’s Steam Print-
ing House is the best equipped printing establish-
ment ia North Texas. Companies wishing three-
sheet posters, half sheet hangers, large ana small
dates, programmes, streamers, dodgers, dyers,
etc., will do well to call. Show printing a specialty.
Patti Rosa Saturday, Feb. 6th.
Dan Sully, in his play, a “ Corner
Grocery,” will visit Denison soon.
Aimee commences a week’s engage-
ment at New Orleans on the 7th of
February.
The Lida Gardner’s Female Mastodons,
we learn, collapsed at Little Rock last
week.
Oliver Doud Byron’s engagement in
Dallas, we learn from the News, was not
a financial success.
Pecks “Bad Boy” company left the
state last week by way of Texarkana. We
can spare them.
Fort’s opera company was booked for
Sherman Saturday night but failed, we
believe, to put in their appearance.
The Boston Museum Company played
a six nights’ engagement in Harmony
Hall, Galveston, last week.
Oliver Doud Byron made a short stay
in Texas. He only visited Paris, Denison,
Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Galveston
and Houston.
Secure your seats for Patti Rosa in
“Zip,” as soon as placed on sale. This
is expected to be one of the best perform-
ances of the season.
Harry Warren, the talented young
comedian, who was in Denison last sea-
son with Katie Putnam, will be in Deni-
son next Saturday night with the Patti
Ross company.
Roland Reed left the state Saturday, by-
way of Texarkana, and didn’t visit Deni
son, either. Well, Roland, we will let
you off this time, but don’t do this
again.
The papers speak in the highest terms
of Patti Rosa. She had the largest audi-
ence of any actress, actor, or company
visiting Marshall this season, last
week.
Edwin. Browne’s “Good as Gold” com-
pany have been filling a limited engage-
ment during the past week at New Or-
leans, and report says the company gave
satisfaction.
Charles L. Davis, (the world renowned
“Alvin Joslin,”) Comedy company, cele-
brated operatic orchestra, and $10,000
challenge band is announced to appear in
Sherman, Feb. 2.
Annie Pixley will visit Texas next
month. She has dates at Houston, Gal-
veston, Austin, Waco, Fort Worth and
Dallas. Her dates at Dallas are the 19th
and 20th.
The following was the bill of fare at
the Fort Worth opera house during the
past week:
Monday and Tuesday nights, Patti Rosa in
“Zip** and “Bob.*’ Wednesday and Thuradav
nights, Oliver Doud Byron in “The Inside Track”
and “Across the Continent;” Friday and Satur-
day nights, “Alvin Joslin.”
J. E. Fulton, late manager of Smith’s
opera house, Sedalia, Mo., recently re-
opened by said Fulton a few weeks since,
came to grief last Saturday for non-pay-
ment of past due bills, for which he was
lodged in jail in default of a one hundred
dollar bond.
John T. Raymond is playing the
Southern cities, and it is probable that if
Manager O’Maley would offer the proper
inducements, Mr. Raymond would visit
Denison before the season closes. When
ne was in Texas last year, he included
Denison in his list to visit when he came
again
Charles L. Davis, the “Uncle Alvin
Joslin,” will not visit Denison this sea-
son, so we are informed by Manager
O’Maley. Mr. Davis misses one good
point in Texas to a dead moral certainty
when he goes by Denison. He has done
well heretofore, and can always count on
a big house.
M. B. Curtis, the great “Samuel of
Posen,” is announced to appear at Sher-
man on the 13th ot February. Denison,
as yet, is not included in Mr. Curtis’
route. Manager O’Maley, here is an
opportunity. If you don’t secure this
celebrated comedian for one night, then
your cake’s dough.
“The Silver King,” whom our people
so well remember as being a big card at
the McDougall last season, commenced a
limited engagement at the Grand Opera
House, New Orleans, last Sunday It is
very likely that this company will visit
Texas before the season closes, and if
they should Manager O’Maley will confer
a great favor upon the patrons of the
McDougall by securing this company for
one night.
Daniel Sully,the natural Irish comedian
in the laughing success of two seasons,
“The Corner Grocery,” during his en-
gagement at Bidwell’s Academy of Music,
New Orleans, week before last, gave a
handsome souvenir card basket to every
purchaser of a reserved seat in advance.
Mr. Sully is now In Texas and may visit
Denison. If he should, we would suggest
the propriety of his extending this cour-
tesy to his patrons here. If he does he
will be the first one that has ever done the
like.
The Bonham Review gives Peck’s “Bad
Boy” company what we believe to be a
very unjust criticism in the tol'owing:
“Pack’s Bad Boy” was played at the opera
bouse Tuesday night to s good audience. Tossy
that this troupe is conipnssd at second-class
amateurs, only mildly expresses it. The “gags”
were very * stale,” end disgusting. Peter Pegs,
the grocerymsn sod shoemaker, had better apply
for s position with s road supervisor ss s *horder,
ss he hss undoubtedly mistaken his vocation. The
“Bad Boy,** tram his actions, has not studied his
primer lesson well. The troupe, ss s whole,
IS B. g.
The writer must have been thinking ot
some other play and company. There is
no such character in the “Bad Boy” as
Peter Pegs, the shoemaker, and as to the
little boy, who takes the part of Henry
Peck, we think he does splendidly. The
play is without plot, and its sole and only
object is to make people laugh, and if .we
are to judge other audiences from the one
that witnessed the performance of this
company, and play, at the McDougall
opera house Tuesday evening, then the
object of the piece has been maintained,
for laughter reigned from the beginning
until the closing. The play takes better
where only produced once, as a repetition
becomes monotonous. As a whole, we
think the company got all out of the
play there is in it, and those who were - in
attendance at the McDougall Tuesday
evening, enjoyed a good laugh.
Patti Rosa, who is booked to appear at
the McDougall on the evening of Febru-
ary the 6th, in the play of “Zip,” one of
Lotta’s best and most attractive pieces,
comes among us as being the equal of
Lotta in every respect, except age. Patti
Rosa is credited with all of Lotta’s capri-
ces, winning ways, singing, dancing and
acting, and in many respects better than
the famous Lotta herself. We have been
watching the papers since Patti Rosa’s
advent in the state, and the following ex-
tracts from the leading papers where she
has appeared thus far, will fbe some cri-
terion for our amusement-loving people
to go by:
This peerless little soubrette, in the character of
“Zip,” wax greeted at the open house last night
by the best audience of the season. In artless in-
nocence and simplicity, and the lively interpreta-
tion of the chamcter, she rivals Lotts in her
palmy days. Though not ss perfect with the ban-
jo, in the dance she excels; and in singing, what
she lacks in melodvietully sustained in articula-
tion and expression. Harry Warren, ss “Philoso-
phy Jack," was very good; and John W. Dunne’s
“Jules Galletti,” was enough to make a Dago
smile. The other characters were well sustained.
The play was smooth, and altogether the best that
has been presented here this season.—Marshall
Herald.
On Wednesday night our theatre goers enjoyed a
treat. The play was “Zip,” and produced by the
Patti Rosa company, every part being well sus-
tained. The management haa displayed good
judgment in making up the company nil through,
ana are especially fortunate in securing that popu ■
iar comedian, Mr. Harry Warren, who had only to
come on the stage to create a laugh. Patti Rosa is
making such a reputation in “Zip,” that it ia
thought Lotta will refuse to let her play it next
season. She is certainly a very fascinating little
actress. Mr. lohn W. Dunne makes s rest good
Italian, and does “grabby de chair” to perfection.
The rest of the troupe are well up in their profes-
sion and parts. Should they ever return, we be-
speak tor them a cordial welcome.—Marshall
Messenger.
The house to which Patti Rosa presented Lot-
ta’s great play, “Zip” last Tuesday night, was
without question the most flattering that any actor
or actress ever played in Owensboro. The sign,
“standing room only,” was hung out, every teat
in the house being occupied and many interested
spectators lined the wail. But the moat gratifying
texture in connection with the audience was that
it comprised not only the most intelligent element
of the play going public, but a targe number of
citizens who do not customarily patronize the
drama, but were brought out by the generous
praise which previous performances of the little
actress had evoked, whether or not the presence
of such an audience acted as a stimulus to her act-
ing, certain it is that she found favor with the
crowd, for they watched unweariedly the bewild-
ering pulsations of her pretty feet and pursued her
with applause after every song. She introduced
new trickeries of msnner and voice and played
altogether as if well pleased with herself and the
audience. A good house awaits her whenever she
may chance to return.—Ownesboro (Kentucky)
lnouirer.
From the New Orleans Evening Chron-
icle of January 17, we make the follow-
ing extract from a lengthy article in re-
gard to Mr. Daniel Sully, the now very
popular young actor, and as Mr. Sully
expects to visit Denison before the theat-
rical season closes, we publish the same
in order that our amusement loving peo-
ple may learn something of the gentle-
man who is making himself so popular
with the people elsewhere:
Mr. Daniel Sully, the comedian who is to begin
an engagement at the Academy of Music this eve-
ning, is an actor who haa recently and speedily
gained both fame and fortune by hia work on the
p. To-day when asked the question the same
ndividual will say: “Oh! he*a the Daddy Nolan
of The Comer Grocery.” Mr. Sully furnishes one
of those infrequent instances in which an humble
actor suddenly develops the possession of rare gifts
and powers that have reknained dormant tor a
time only to strengthen and intensify the impres-
sion thev make when once they are awakened.
Two years ago he suddenly electrified the theater-
goers and the newspaper critics of New York city
by showing them a character that was unique,
well rounded. well considered and entirely new to
the stage. There is excellent authority for the as-
sertion that Rome was not built in a day; but it is a
matter ot record that Mr. Sully awakened one
morning in lune, 1884, to find himself famous,
made by the plaudits ot snch critics as Wm. Win-
ter, Paul Potter, Robert Griffin Morris, A. C.
Wheeler (Nym Crinkle) and Leander Richardson.
Mr. Sully’■ engagement to appear at the Academy
ot Music to-night suggested to the Chronicle that
something about him and his play would be of in-
terest to the public and the foregoing was the in*
ilifftory result of a talk with Mr W. O. Wheeler,
his manager.
“Mr. Sully is perhaps unfortunate in his engage
ment in the city to one thing,” said Mr. Wheeler,
“and that ia m the fact that many people associate
his comedy with that piece of arrant idiocy called
“Peck’s Bad Boy,” which was recently played at
Lhe Academy. Now those who have seen Mr.
Sully, or who keep informed upon theatrical mat-
ters, do not allow the title of hia play to create any
such impression. If there is sny one thing we
wish the public to fully understand it is that we
have no connection with “Peca’s Bad Boy.” The
piece has become a by-word with the public as
with managers. The “Comer Grocery,” while we
do not claim for it any extravagant merit as a stage
mirthful 1
We call the attention of the readers ot
the Gazetteer to the advertisement in
this issue of Hanna, Leeper & Co., the
central hardware house of Denison. This
.house is the most centrally located hard-
ware store in the city, and the stand is the
most popular, the building having been
used for this branch of trade ever since
the town was first started. The place is
more popular known as D. W. C. Davis’
old stand. The present firm have thor-
oughly overhauled the establishment and
stocked it with the most desirable goods
in the hardware line, more especially
shelf and heavy hardware. Now that the
garden season will soon be upon us, it
would be well to visit this establishment
and examine the many novelties and labor
saving implements.
The Gazetteer would suggest that in
order to please all parties concerned, in
regard to the postoffice muddle, that the
Government contract with Mr. Walter-
house, the proprietor of the street car
line, to have the office arranged in one of
the street cars, and that it make regular
trips up and down Main street every ten
or fifteen minutes.

terest you have by your good works.
T. V. Powderly, general master work-
man of the Knights of Labor, says: “If
every laborer and every manufacturer
would read daily a good paper, and keep
posted on the topic* of the time, I feel
certain there would be less trouble.”
Manchester, N. C., has tour assemblies
of the Knights of Labor, with a total

The stove works of S. S. Jewett to Co.,
of Buffalo, N. Y-, are shut down, and will
not be re-opened for some months. Con-
vict contract labor causes this. About
four hundred men are thrown out of em-

Organized labor everywhere is seeking
to establish co-operation and arbitration,
and employers will be asked to. assist in
the tormation of impartial arbitrating
boards, in order to save from forty to fifty
million dollars worth of labor, now lost
annually, through strikes and suspensions.
A scheme is on foot to develope large
tracts of coal lands in Kentucky; also,
natural gas, which is believed to exist
there in abundance. Fifteen miles trom
Ashland on the Tug river, are two wells
which discharge, one ot them 15,000,000,
and the other 6,000,000 feet of gas every
24 hours.
Labor generally is beginning to think it
time for wages to advance, and is only
awaiting a favorable opportunity to
demand an increase. In the eastern
Pennsylvania penitentiary of the 1,200
prisoners, 500 are engaged in weaving,
300 in making shoes, 40 in making cane
seated chairs, etc. All of the woven goods
including hosiery, are consumed in the
institution.
The textile manufacturers of Philadel-
phia are crowded with orders, and wages
are advancing. Carpet manufacturers
are busy, and sold three months ahead.
Hosiery mills are oversold. Not for years
has there been so much business in hand.
Wool is advancing in price, and demand
will expand. The wool grower* of the
country are organizing for protection, and
are insisting on better prices than they
have been receiving.
At least fifty large manufacturer* are
about to move to western Pennsylvania
and eastern Ohio to take advantage of the
natural gas supply; they will take with
them, something like $15,000^00 in
money and ten and twelve thousand work-
men. .Many other manufacturers are
thinking seriously of the expediency of
going too.
The glass .worker* of America have at
last joined their organization with that of
the Knights of Labor; the two will
continue tq be managed aeperately. At
the annual meeting of the bottle manu-
facturers on Wednesday last, a disheart-
ening state of affair* was reported. Only
about half the manufacturers are running
and a shut down of a few weeks to clear
oat supurfiuous stock is suggested, as the
only remedy for the present state of
things.
During the past three months more in-
dustrial organisations have been incorpo-
rated than during the proceeding twelve.
If one-half the enterprises now projected
are carried out, labor will be in active de-
mand, wages will advauce, prices will stiff-
en, and in consequence the producing ca-
pacity of the country will be considerably
Increased.
Capitalists and investors are purchas-
ing large tracts of timber, coal and agri-
cultural lands, in the west and south, to
hold tor an advance In land values. This
policy is a good one for labor organisa-
tions to follow; they should look further
than to the protection of their daily earn-
ing ; they should put money Into land*
that will advance in value; or, they should
make purchases of land for the use of
their own members.
The organization of the Knights'of La-
bor is extending into all the trades, now
covering nearly 200. The expressmen
are befhg organised; industries into which
the spirit of organization never entered
before, are now being brought under the
shield ot this powerful order. The. ban-
ners of Labor’s organisations are raised
on the Rocky Mountians, In the tar
southwest; in the swamps of Florida, and
in the lumber regions of Maine and Mich,
igan.
The Akron Sewer Pipe Go. is putting
in a new 250 horse power Corliss engine,
an evidence of prosperity In the sewer
pipe interests, in spite of the unavailing
efforts of the manufacturers to form a
pool. Another and still more Interesting
evidence is the fact that the Akron Sewer
Pipe Co., Hill Sewer Pipe Co. and Rob-
inson Bros, to Co., last week raised the
wages of all their hand* to per cent, a
day. As the men are only getting 126
and 13 cents under the advance, there is
no doubt that It was needed.—Sunday
Gazette, Jan. 24.
A secret meeting of delegates from
northwestern labor organizations met In
Chicago, Jati. 13. The meeting waa called
for the purpose of securing united action
on the eight hour movement. Commenc-
ing on May 1st next, all the labor assem-
blies belonging to this organisation will
refuse work longer than eight hours, and
long before that date the members
throughput this state will, It Is claimed,
be in a shape to successfully enforce the
law, which they claim now Is a dead
letter.
Female employee* throughout the
United States, are proving to be the moat
sincere and faithful trade-unionists, and
are doing more to advance the spirit ot
organization, than even the rank and file
of the male members. These “Knight”
are good debaters, show good sense, and
exercise a conservative Influence in the
deliberations of their district assemblies.
The Lynn Ladies’ stitchers’ union is the
largest and most Important female assem-
bly of the Knights of Labor In the coun-
try.
The Standard Oil Company haa several
grand schemes on hand, beside* those
known already to the public. It proposes
monopolizing the natural gas supply, and
if possible, securing possession of the
electric lighting privileges of the city ot
Philadelphia. It it can do this, councils
will Be asked to grant great privileges, and
the city will be greatly beautified. It is
proposed to spend $5,000,000 In this en-
terprise. $50,000,000 could easily be had
if wanted.
The far-reaching results and Intricate
workings of the boycott are illustrated in
Chicago where a firm of box-makers have
come under the ban on* account of the in-
troduction of labor-saving machinery into
their factory. The workmen who con-
structed the machinery hare filed a pro-
test, because its manufacture gives them
employment, and if box-makers are not
allowed to use it their occupation will be
gone. The Day’s advice on all these vex-
ed questions is not to worry, but to take
the world as it comes. It American ge-
nius ever invent* a wooden editor who
will grind out paragraphs by the simple
turning of a crank, we propose to step
down and out quietly.—Waco Day.

Kd. Gazetteer.
I see in the last issne ot the Sunday
Gazetteer an item in regard to a couple of
prominent citisens, belonging to the K.
of L.—I suppose the writer meant politi-
cian*—for every Knight ot Labor is a
prominent citizen, which will be proven
before the next county and state elections
are decided. Ill referring to your item I
would say that Pthink it originated in the
mind of “ye city editor”, for the Knights
of Labor are too well organized to allow
politicians to use the order for their own
selfish purposes, and it is my opinion that
no candidate will be supported without
belli wage-worker, and if it comes to
pass that we can't find brain* in the wage-
working portion of the K. of L. to fill
the various offices, we will let them go by
default. Magnus Good.
The cotton mills of the south are crowd-
ed with orders. The machine shops of
New England have more orders on hand
than they have had for twelve months,
and in some cases wages have been ad-
vanced without solicitation. Boot and
shoe factories are runnyig full time. The
bridges ......._
large supplies ait material for bridges to
be constructed over a number of rivers,
including the St. Lawrence. Builders of
railroads have bought 300^300 ton* of steel
rails within the past ninety days, and
within a few weeks the entire year's pro-
duction, i/ny» tons, will be sold.
Master Workmen fiouderir, writing to
the Scranton Truth, from iKansas City,
says: “The Knights erf Labor are firm-
ly entrenched here. Twenty-gwo assem
blies of that order transact their business
and take a hand in shaping out the future
of this city. The Missouri Pacific rail-
road system, with the 6*046 miles of rail-
way, Ss manned from end to end by
Knights of Labor, and they have a stand-
ing arrangement with the management
of the system that no reduction in wages,
work force, or change in rule*, no strikes
or changes of any kind, shall take place
on the part of the company or men until
both sides meet and discuss the question
understanding^, and even then the chief
officers on both sides must meet before
changes ot any importance are made.”
