Needs Attention. The Civic league should call the at tention of some owners of private yards and also of church property, to the badly kept appearance of these places. Some of these yards are any thing but a credit toi the city. An other ,evij that calls loudly for a remedy is the matter of the ugly, malodorous trash piles that ornament (?) tho streets at a number of back gates laroiund ithe city. These and the papers that litter our residence and business streets are evidence of a grate lack of pride both personal and civic. This is a branch of work with which our erstwhile energetic civic league might well concern it self. Wisconsin Librarians.

Chicago, 111., D. 10.—Prliinb ary steps were taken Chicago to: . to <if j’.iizc a mi: in i federation of local employers’ association in the building line. in the opinion of those well informed as to the pur pose and scope of the movement its impoxtaaoe can scarcely be overesti mated. In plain words it aims to curb the excessive exaction of the labor unions, front which th building trad es have suffered of late perhaps muxe tnan any other line. Other objects, such as the standardization of material and the suppression of unfair com petitions, will be kept in view by the new organization, but all of these will be of secondary importance in compar ison with the main purpose of advanc ing and protecting the interests of the contractors in their relations to the labor unions. The idea of the National Association of Employers, under which name tlie federation is to be known, bad its in ception in the formation of the il hid ing Trades Employers' Association in New York last spring. Nothing of tie kind on so large a scale had ever been achieved in any city in this couu t-y and ail the cities which had been I disturbed by labor conflicts watched |f® outcome. Soon simular associa tions were formed in other cities and the idea of a national federation was the result. Represented in. the ted oration arc the following trades: Architectural iron, elevator building, plastering, house drainage, mantle and tiie woxl;, masons and builders, plumb cutters, marble manufacturers, paint ers, decorators, mosiac work and elec trical work. The object of the organization, as set forth in th ecall for today's confer ence arc as follows: Ta advance and protect the inter ests of the contractors. To secure equitable treatment in their dealings with their employes. To encourage organization and the formation of associations of contract ors. To regulate conditions among build irg contractors. To maintain peace and harmony between he employer and employe. The basis of settlement of all dis putes should be conciliation and ar bitration , Tlie sympathetic strike should be absolute y prohibited. Where conditions are proper and employ,associations exist plgree aent to be made with them. A uniform form of agreement be x lopted and used is making joint agreements, wages being adjusted ac cording to local cor Itions. All agreements ti embody the fol lowing principles: There shall be nr estriction oi the ise of machinery or ools. There shall be nr restriction ot the use of rny mam ictured mati ial, except prison-made No pirson shall ave the rig! to' nterfere with the w rkmon during the working hours. The use of app ■..tices shall not be probit ited. The fneman shall be the agent of the employer. All wotkmen are at liberty to work for whomever they see fit. All implosyers ar at liberty to em ploy and discharge whomsoever they sue fit.. A HANDSOME booklet. One Has Just Been issued by the Cea board Ai.- Line. The Seaboard Air Line Railway have just issued two m ndsome booklets entitled "Resorts of the Csrolinas and Georgi !•" and ‘‘Flor.da in the inter est of tourist travel. Toe ewer de signs are particularly attractive, re productive of oil paintings, repri sent ing the stately pines and a tropical scene, both in colors. The booklets are marvels of the printer’s art and are both handsomely illustrated. The text of the books are particularly readable, the Florida book starting off with a brief discretion of the ficaboard Florida Limited train te he inaugurated January 11th, a die- cription of the route of this now fa mous flyer, which is the "quickest” train to Florida because tho "route is the shortest,” The discription of “A New Florida” reference being to tho Manatee country recently opened tip by the Seaboard extencion into Sara sota, is specially interesting. Graph ic accounts are given of Camden, S. C. Pinehurst, N. C., and other famous j winter resorts. j The books are for free distribution I and mav be had upon application to ticket agents f the Seaboard, or by! j addressing Charles F. Stewart, A. G. ! P. A., Savannah, Ga. i IN THE SUPERIOR COURT. ! Lony-Winded Cases Again Occupied Attention of the Tribunal. Minor cases, which the attorneys argue at length, seem to be occupying the attention of the superior court this week, and but few cases have thus far been disposed of. Yesterday sev eral little eases were up, which kept court in session until 7 o’clock last nigth. none of them being of any im portance. The record for the day is as follows: J. N. Brown vs. J. H.

The grand jury was also in session during the day. hut this body has not yet settled down to work, an only a few cases have been looked into. ANOTHER WRECK ON THE B. A B. Several Cars Demolished in a Hcadon Collision Late Wednesday Night. The 11. & B. is keeping up its well established reputation for wrecks and another one occurred late Wednesday night, whn ae log and freight train colided. The log train was tlie property of the Taylor Cook Cos. No one was hurt but a number of fiat cars were pretty i>3dly damaged. The B. & B. people are investigating the responsibility for this accident, which seems to have been due to a flagrant disregard for orders. MME. ROSE LINDE. Fapers Speak Weil of Her Excellent Voive. The press is loud in its praise of the beautiful voice and grand singing of Mine. Rosa Unde. Among hun dreds of elogistic praises we quote ihe following: The Baltimorean. Tlie soloist was Mme. Rosa Linde, a famous contralto, who made her first bow before a Baltimore audience She possesses a magnificent voice of great power and execution. , Hartford Currant. Rosa Linde, has a vofco surprising in the fullness of tho lower tones, which are almost of baritonic qual ity. Her medium and upper regis ters are clear and the compass remarkable. Boston Traveler. Rosa Linde’s sweet and powerful contralto voice won her continual re calls, all of which she richly deserved Mme. Linde will be heard here on Monday night at the Grand opera house. A canvass of the city for sale of seats is now in progress. THE CAVALIER HERE TONIGHT. Miss Charlotte Tittle to be Seen in the Great Play, Tlie Cavalier is to be given here tonight and is said to he an entirely adequate and satisfactory dramatiza tion of George W. Cable's famous story This engagement is one of more than ordinary interest, especially as that charming emotional actress, Charlotte Tittell, is to appear as the heroine of this stirring story of the cruel war. The play tells a most attractive story of life in the south during the war. Charlotte Durand is a high spirited daughter of the south, who, after she has married a captain in Hie Confederate army, later learns that he has become a Union spy. She keeps her secret and conceals her an guish by undertaking missions of great, peril, doing a mans work lor the cause she loves. The story develops logically and there are thrilling scenes made realis tie by the artistic touches of charac ter iri which Miss Tittell lias always been charming. Her husband dies during the war and she marries the man she has come to love. No Report Rendered. The committee appointed by council at .a meeting a few weeks ago to meet with a representative of a carnival company who desired to give an en tertainment in this city, did not Tend ed thoir report at the meeting of coun cil last night as was expected.

It is al so a specific for all ot the dozens of different diseases caused by coffee. Trial proves this. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, "Toe Road to TYallrUle,”
