STANDOF THE PLUMBERS IXIOX llEMAXIiS AIIOI.ITIOX OF AP I'ltlLYI'll'KKHir SYfeTl-LM. McmWrn Say the Journey men .Market In 0 r rutncked Ol her Local Labor Trouble. Th first example of a f-eal truFt among laboring men, with all the alleged ramifications of great financial corporations, is now being exhibited by the local Plumbers Union. The union proposes to completely eliminate, tho apprenticeship system until there Is a greater demand for Journeymen plumber. The demand was made upon the master plumbers some time ago that tho Journeymen should not after the 1st of May be required to go to work with a' helper or apprentice. The union held a big meeting Iaht night nnd decided to stand by Its demand. With that In view no plumber will go to work this morning with a helper. If this Is carried out and tho Master Plumbers Association refuses to accede to the demand a strike may result. The union contends that the Journeymen plumbers' market is overstocked nnd they must stop the continuous Increase In their numbers or the plumbing business will soon bo unremuneratlve. Under tho present system one helper Is given to each plumber. The abolition of the system entails no additional expense on the master plumbers, the Journeymen say, n they are asking no Increase In wages and are willing to carry their own tools, pot und furnace. They say that R would even bo more economical for tho master plumbers, as the work will be better done and no more time will be required because the Journeymen will not have to watch their helpers. It takes four year3 of apprenticeship to make a Journeyman plumber, and at the present rate each plumber is turning out a new one every fourth year. The union asks that the system be abolished for the time being only, and as soon as work demands more journeymen helpers will be put back to work. At present the union has about twelve Idle members, although they say there Is now more work than there has been for some time. The union Is willing to allow the master plumbers all the apprentices thev want In the shop, but will not go to work with them on the outside. The new rule is to be effective In regard to new apprentices only and the older ones will be allowed to finish their trade. WILL GO TO .NEW YORK. President John Mitchell Will He n Busy Miin for Some Time. President Joh.i Mitchell, of the Unite 1 Mine Workers, will leave for the Pennsylvania anthracite coal district this evening, and after spending several days there will go to New York to attend a meeting of the special committee appointed by the National Civic Federation to form plans of conciliation and arbitration for the adjustment of differences between employee nnd employes, which meets May 7. A subcommittee, composed of President Mitchell, Herman JustI, commissioner of the Illinois Coal Operators' Association, and E. P. Kenna, vice president of the Atchison. Topeka Sc Santa Fe Railway Company, which will formulate the plans to be offered fopdoption by the general committee, will meet on May 6 to be ready to report tho rest day. The plan adopted by th-? geneial committee will be presented to the public, and the members of the National Civic Federation will then use their influence to bring a pressure to bear on both employer nnd employe that will prevent strikes, lockouts and drastic measures of settling labor difficulties. Such a meeting has never been held. The advisory council consists of several hundred representative men of the country, divided Into departments affected by industrial contests as follows: Manufacturing, agriculture, labor, college, church, finance, commerce, law, transportation and Insurance, organization and general affairs. Insular representatives will be present at meetings of the council from Hawaii. Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine inlands. i Plasterer Threaten a Strike. The Plasterers' Union has made a demand for an Increase of wages from 40 to 50 cents an hour, to become effective to-day, and so far the contractors have refused the demand. The union has declared Its intention to strike unless the demand is granted, and it is thought that all union men will not take up their tools this morning. The union contractors contend that they cannot pay the prices unless all contractors employing nonunion plasterers are compelled to pav a like advance. It is said that the nonunion contractors are now paying but 35 cents an hour, 5 cents below the union scale and the union contractors say good jobs 'are continually getting away from them because they cannot meet the nonunion contractors in bidding. Jack Cooke Irmv a Crowd. A large crowd was present last night to hear the boy evangelist. Jack Cooke. The meeting was somewhat late in getting started. It was 8 o'clock before the regular song service was begun. At Its conclusion an appeal was made to those present who had felt conversion to rise and give their testimony. Several responded, and the evangelist's brother, who conducts the early part of the meeting, felt much gratified. The usual programme characterized the meeting, biblical questions being sent up to the rostrum for the youthful preacher to answer. This being concluded, a text was chosen by some one in the audience and Jack Cooke built his sermon around It. Stole n Cnddy of Tolmcco. Charles Fry, an employe of George "W. Stout's grocery, arrested last night by Detectives Bray and Lancaster while trying to dispose of a caddy of tobacco, confessed to having stolen it from his place of employment. He first told the officers he ha 1 won It at a raffle, but later said he put it into a barrel In the rear of the store and trok It away after dark. He had been with the firm for about two years. Insurance 3Ien to Meet. The Indiana agents of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company will hold a meeting at the Bates House to-day.

The barn and contents were totally destroyed, entailing a loss of about $150. The fire communicated to tho residence at 220 West Eleventh street, ri. Cheyne, occupant, where damage, of $25 resulted.

CLUD'S LAST CONCERT

CROWD AT (iEiniAX HOI SE EXCEEDED SEATIXG CA IM C'lTl . Much Pmlse for Director Erncxtlnoff The Et citing's Programme Much EiiJo4mI. The Inst concert of the German Club and Muslkvercln stason In the auditorium of the German House lat?t night was heard by an audience that far exceeded the seating capacity of the hall. The size of the audience, however, was no occasion for furprle since the varied and delightful programme rendered by this strong musical organization could scarcely fall of popularity, in lad night's event, as indeed on tho occasion of eery other concert by the German . Club and Muslkvert in this season, Director Ernestlnoff dl played his Ulcnt and versatility in a marked degree. If a man who directs tin orchestra or a ringing Muiety well Is deserving of high praise what shall be said of one who directs with consummate t-kill and talent choruses of men and women and an orchestra besides, all at one concert, us did Professor Ernestlnoff last night? The evidently thorough enjoyment of the audience, as attested by Its frequent demand for encores, seemed ample reward to the hard-working and painstaking conductor. The programme began wiih the thrilling Rossini overture to "William Tell," whose crescendo passages at times Foemcd of almost too great volume for the size of the auditorium. Then came tho appropriate and beautiful 'MalMed" ("Song of May"), by Beer, rendered with full power and expression by the male chorus with rich orchestral accompaniment. A number that created a sensation amd that won for the, soloists a veritable triumph was Grieg's conccito In A minor for piano and orchestra. Miss Una Clayson took the piano part nnd played with truly professional case and llnlsh. The selection is tilled to tho btim with the, grace and poetry and fire for which the eminent Norwegian composer is famous, and all these line qualities were admirably brought out by both tho pianlste nnd the orchestra. Miss (Mayson is a graduate of the Chicago Conservatory of Music and has al.o taken a postgraduate course under Oliver Willard Pierce, of this city. The feminine chorus was heard to pleasing advantage In two Kelectlons by Pudlev Buck-"Robln Adair" and "Annie Laurie." A striking and most enjoynblo sample of the picturesque Russian school of composition was Moszkowskt's "Cortege," played with Infectious spontaneity and fervor by the orchestra. The male chorus gave a delightful duo of songs Veit' "Schoen Rohtraut" ("Tho Fair Rohtraut") and Spicker' "Noch Sind Pie Tage der Rosen" ("Now arc the Pays of the Roses.") The novelty of the programme was the quartet for flutes, "Op. 103," bv Kuhlau, played by Messrs. P. Montanl. J I. P. Kaiser, Walter Kipp and H. Klser. Whatever may have been thought of the effect of this number, it must be admitted that the young men played with rare skill and precision. The concert was given a tine finish by the rendition of Weinzlerl'? elaborate descriptive number "Llebesweben" ("Love and Spring") by the splendid mixed chorus of over one hundred voices, accompanied by the full orchestra. The piano accompanist of the organization Is Mrs. 8. L. Kiser. After the concert the chairs were removed from the auditorium and the remainder of the evening spent In dancing. A Request Programme.

When one of the big American shows first arrived in Europe, appearing now in the cities of England, now in those of Germany, Austria and Hungary, the phase of the American circus which most astonished military men was not so much the show itself as the manner in which it was moved. Two or three Incidents will serve to illustrate the curiosity with which the transportation department of the English and continental armies view the organization, discipline and ingenuity shown In moving, without halt or hitch, such a large amount of property and so many persons. While preparing to open at the Olympia, the Madison-square Garden of London, the building department of the city told the owners of the Olympia that a new proscenium arch of steel must be built. This arch was to frame a stage at one side of the edifice, and was 2S0 feet wide by 7u feet high. The material was brought into the building, and the arch was put together, bit by bit. flat on the ground. When completed the British workmen were confronted by the task of lifting the heavy frame into place. Pays were spent In futile attempts, until at last the showproprietor said that If they would turn the job over to him he would raise the thing of steel. He then called In his 300 American workmen, and in three hours had tho arch in position and secure using for the purpose only the circus paraphernalia which he had brought with him from America. A London newspaper printed an editorial urging the government to detail one or two officers from the engineering corps of the army to travel with the circus, and thus aeqvdre knowledge that would be of practical use In moving military material. The government acted upon this advice, and ' throughout the tour several army officers: were always present to witness the loading and unloading of the cars, the transportation to and from the grounds and the erection and razing of the tents. The reigning monarch of one of the European nations himself came to the show incognito. He did not come to see the performance, but devoted the night to a personal inspection of circus operations, such as the taking down of the tents, their movement to the train and their loading on the cars. He said that he regarded this as one of the most important object lessons in the movement of heavy material that he had ever witnessed, and that he intended that officers in the army should familiarize themselves with it.

lx. order oo 128 and 1UO North Pennsylvania St MXAUMN'S SPEECH. It Has Stirred I n All Ihac of Southera Political Sentiment. I Hartford Courant. Colleague Ben Tillman has no further use for Colleague McLaurin. after that speech to the cotton manufacturers, lie denounces him us a Republican at heart, a deceiver, masquerader and ralsleader, a man who "deserted his party In a great crisis (the vote on the treaty of Paris) under suspicious circumstances," a man without principles or conscience, and a plagiarist into tho bargain. "If necessary," he says, "I will meet him face to face in any forum he may choose." This last remark is not to be construed as foreshadowing a physical encounter. Tillman lights with his mouth exclusively. McLaurin is not in the least frightened. He says that Tillman began his career by slandering better men than himself, and is merely keeping it up "I have a contempt," continues McLaurin, "for an Intellectual bully and shameless pretender masquerading as a statesman a moral pigmy posing as the champion of honesty. I neither court nor desire his good opinion or friendship." ' Tillman's predecessor In the Senate, Gen. M. C. Butler, says amen to tho Charlotte speech. He considers the talk about "militarism" and "imperialism" all flubdub. He thinks that President McKinley has simply done his duty. He is for retaining all the Islands the Spanish war brought us. He is weary of reckless demagogues. The great need of the South, he-says, is broad, affirmative, progressive statesmanship. He doesn't know what effect McLaurin's speech will have in South Carolina, but the best possible thing for the State, politically and in a business way, would be the building up of a vigorous and respectable opposition party. "There is no telling," says General Butler, "what twelve months will bring forth in the politics of this country. If I had been In the Senate I would have voted just as McLaurin did. with the exception, perhaps, of his vote for the ship subsidy bill. And yet there are plenty of precedents In Pemocratlc history to Justify a vote for that bill. South Carolina subsidized every railroad built in the State by subscribing to the capital stock of the companies, up to the breaking out of the war." Senator Clay, of Georgia, thinks that there are no McLaurlnites there. Governor Candler, also of Georgia, says it is not the negro question that is going to keep the South Pemocratlc, but "the desire to see the government checked in its mad career of empire." On the other hand, Hon. Harry Skinner, of North Carolina, says that the well-informed business men who are In agreement on all important points with the present administration ought to vote as they think, "it seems to me to be suicidal." he 'says, "for the South to continue to throw the weight of its Influence against these governmental policies which mani-, festly tend towards our betterment." The Savannah News frankly admits that the sliver question is. to all practical intents and purposes, a dead question. "Of course, there is going to be considerable shifting about In the membership of parties," it says. "McLaurin has evidently gone over to the materialists, the money power." says the Chronicle, of Augusta. Ga. In the "opinion of the Nashville Banner. McLaurin s speech, if it does nothing more, will "give emphasis to the demand upon the part of a large and increasing body of Pemocrats for a party rehabilitation which will sever It entirely from Populism and the fads and vagaries that have been catered to by the Bryan domination in its councils." In the opinion of the Florida Times-Union, the McLaurin revolt is foredoomed to failure, because "burdened with the approbation of the federal government." In the opinion of the Louisville Courier-Journal, the Democratic party cannot retain its present hold on the South by "clingln, to dead ssues" and by "existing only as a party of opposition." In the opinion of the Richmond Times, the political slavery to which white voters have submitted äs the lesser of two evils Is about to be abolished. "It !s Impossible for this thing to last in the South." says the Virginia paper. "Southern men are by nature brave and independent, and they are sick and tired of the party yoke. Hence they determined to get rid of the menace of negro rule, and so open the way to a ?i'?w declaration of independence. Senator McLaurin. of South Carolina, has sounded the bugle note, and the elans will rally." The leading editorial article in yesterday's New York Journal will disturb Mr. Bryan, if it does not Jar him. It praised Tom Johnson and Carter Harrison for knowing live issues from dead ones. It advised the Democratic party to acquire that very useful knowledge as quickly as possible. "It is evident.' said the New York paper, edited by the president of the National League of Democratic Clubs, "that the silver mummy has been Anally sealed In Its sarcophagus." A Pipe 'Graft."

a beautifully carved and exquisitely colored pipe-bowl upon the counter In a tobacco shop, at Eleventh and Market streets. The tobacconist took the bowl, and examined it uith the confident air of an Xpert. "Po you want a meerschaum stem, madam?" he asked. "Certainly." said she. "Pardon me," he replied, "but I really don't think it's worth it." the woman's nostrils dilated with the Indrawn breath that tetokcn dignity offended. ."You are mistaken." slm said, coldly. "That pipe was the property of Admiral Decatur, whose descendent I am. It was given by the admiral to on of his subalterns, who treasured it and handed It down to his children. By great good fortune I managed to secure tt from one uf the descendents of this man, who told me that dire poverty alone led him to part with it. Now. sir. if you think so priceless a relic, for which 1 paid 53".. is rot worth a meerctauni stem you argue yourself Ignorant of ." "Pardon me, madam." the tobacconist interrupted, "hut there Is really no need of your becoming angry. 1 can show a boxful of ple-bowls like this one, and I'll sell any one of them to you for fo cents." So saying, he reached under the counter, and made good his statement. The woman was dazed. She picked up hr relic and left without a word. "That's the greatest graft In the world," said the tobacconist, afterward. "It's being worked all over this country.

We cannot pick up a paper now without finding something along there line by ambitious men who are trying to add something to tho rich discoveries made by Darwin and his scientific collaborators.

At this time ev.-ry evening the roaches would scramble out of their dens and make a rush for the paste feast. It was not a matter of noise in this department, for the noise In the building continued up to oYlfiok in the eve ning. Close by there was a bell that rang every hour in the day. While I am not willing to haz7ard the guess that these cockroaches counted th strokes of the t-ll, I state a simple fact when I say that every evetinj when the bi clanged five times these insects would start at a rapid gilt for t'i pjjste pot. It might have be-e-n a matter of vibration, for the bell had a deep, lingprlrij tone, and the building might have taken up the sound, and In this way the roaches might have been affected.
