nnd got down to the station this morning
In fair tlmo for bis train , ho found that
the long yellow slip which was expected to
take him homo was so much vollow paper
nnd no more , nml would stny so till next
Monday. Argument was vain and llov. Car
penter bought n full fare ticket to Omaha
nnd went liotnc. K E. Olivers of New York ,
district secretary of mission unions , thought
to get back to bis post In good tlmo for
Monday morning and met with the same
unflinching ofllclal nnd paid full fare.
"When the 9.000 delegates now In con
vention assembled bought their 9,000 tickets
most of them forgot to take a day off nnd
rend the discourse thereon printed. In
fact , only n model ate number got beyond
the first clause on the official looking docu
ment which leads as follows :
" 'Going passengers must lenve on date
of sale as stated on the back by the Is
suing agent , and they must bo used to
Milwaukee prior to midnight of the date
cancelled In the left band corner time no
later than July 17. '
"They took their trains therefore prior
to July 17 , as specified , and omitted to no
tice that coming passengers could use tbe
tickets no earlier than July 20. There Is
no help for It now , therefore , nnd tbe of
ficials have It In blnck and yellow and
cannot bo blamed for this not having been
lend. And late today , after n good deal
of coaxing nnd enumeration of personal reas
ons , a compromise was made on Sunday
afternoon , and the office will be opened
then.
"This , however , does not help the clerical
delegates , who nro expected to preach ser
mons In several hundred pulpits day after
tomorrow. There Is no expense account to
fall back upon nnd those who cannot wire
for supplies will give their charges vaca

C. W. Maler , third vice grand master of
the Diotberhood of Locomotive Firemen ,
.
delivered ' an address to tbe members of the
local lodges last evening In Patterson hall.
A good sized audience greeted Mr. Maiden -
on this , his third visit to this city , and
was well repaid for attending. One of the
main features of Mr. Maler's visit Is to
look over the ground with a view to having
tbo national convention of tbo Brotherhood
take place hero In 139S. Ho was driven
about the city yestb'rdaj' and expressed
himself as well pleased Tflfh Omaha's claims
to bo nmong the foremost among convention
cities. He stated Indirectly that he would
use bis utmost Influence , consistent with bis
position , to advocate' locating the meeting
here during the great Transmlsstsslppl Ex
position. The matter Is to bo settled at
the next convention' ' of the body , which
takes place at Galveston. Tex. , September
11. Mr. Maler says Ofnalm has an excellent
chance of securing tbo plum.
The speaker was introduced to the au
dience by Local Manter Hugh Graham of

largely to the many benefits accruing from
a membership in his organization and Inci
dentally outlined Its Jnception twenty-three
years , ago and progress slnco that date )
The si > cnkcr cxnressod''hlniself as not an
advocate of strikes nnd stated that the
time was not far distant when such labor
distill bailees would bo relegated to the past
by tolling humanity. Hraln power nnd not
brute force was the policy of his organiza
tion and this method was rapidly bearing
fruit In the form of a better understand
ing between the cmplojer and emploved
A class of sober nnd Intelligent men were
filling the ranks of the old time railroader ,
who In former days was given too much
to convivial pleasures in which the bar
took an important part. Politics , the speaker
hinted , would shortly take a more promi
nent part in the laboring man's fight for
his rights and prove a much better sys
tem of fettling differences than that of
riot and bloodshed advocated by many agi
tators. The speaker concluded with a short
reference to the benefits derived from the
benevolent Insurance which Is an Important
part of the organisation and rounded out
the evening by exhibiting a number of
