’>■ IHO CM CM M 000 004«*1 ' SOME L IMPRESSED IMPRESSIONS. I—-oso500.0 -090 i BY SAM SIM. In the death of P. M . Arthur, Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotiveengineers, tin* labor world has lost one of its greatest leaders. Mr. Arthur has met with the highest kind of success in his official capacity and at the present time the Locomotive Engineers are considered the best organized union in the world. He was elected to the position as chief in 1873 and although he directed a limited number of strikes, his brotherhood has received all that they ever asked. His policy did not exclude strikes but he always considered such moves placed the burden on women and children and for that reason avoided them if possible. Arbitration was his method of settling disputes. Under his direction the demands of the engineers were seldom ignored by their employes for he never asked unreasonable concessions and was always determined, for that reason tto secure what was demanded. Labor unions are a good thing when directed with reason and were there more men at the head of them like chief Arthur, their purpose would be accomplished without opposition . WILL ENLARGE. The Lyman Portrait House will be Enlarged. Lyman Brothers are making preparations this week to enlarge and increase the capacity of their portrait house in this city. Less than two years ago the Lyman Brothers started their western branch office in this city, but so pleased and successful were they in this territory, that now Decatur is their central station. Two New York artists have been employed by the firm to assist Mr. Chas. Ross, who has been with the company since they started . Mr. Ross left this morning on a three weeks trip through the east, and will bring a New York artist back with him. Mr. Nat Popkins, who is here from one of the New York academies, will be employed during Mr. Ross’s absence, and will continue with the firm on the latter’s return. Commodious quarters are being arranged in the Stone building and the company expect to turn out over a thousand orders a month. Mr. Ross's fine work has been winning success everywhere, and his assistants will doubtless maintain the same high standard. The Lyman’s now have twenty men on the road and expect to double this number within] a few weeks. OPENS WEDNESDAY. Island Park Assembly Programme for This Week.

Military Geese. Even the geese in Germany march with military precision, which may be the reason why the famous drill style of the German infantry is called the “goose step.” A writer in Travel thus describes the great goose armies which are so interesting to the health seekers at Bad-Nauheim: “It Is worth while to go to OberMoerlen at 6 o’clock in the afternoon to see these geese returning home from the fields. The village is white with them; hundreds and thousands, regi- ; ments and brigades of geese, marching along with military precision. As they near home they separate of their own accord; sixteen to the right, twelve to the left, a detachment up a lane, and so on—all quacking loudly, but bearing themselves with that keen sense of order and discipline which distinguishes the vaterland.”
