Thus terminated the labors of a day as much of the beautiful as will serve the purpose for which the Lodge is established. The nucleus of a library has already been collected, and it is the aim of the Lodge to enlarge this until the members shall have not only the advantages of real models of everything their avocation requires them to handle and use, but also all the substantial and technical literature bearing upon their profession, together with as much literature of a general nature as the means of the Lodge will justify. In fitting up the Lodge it is noticed that several public-spirited people have kindly remembered the Brotherhood. A centre-table in the arteroom is the gift of J. H. Barkley & Co.; another, in the reception-room, is from C. E. Taylor, of Bloomington; a handsome heating stove is from Mann, Keeble & Co.; a water-cooler from G. W. Bolinger; and a complete set of time-tables, printed on silk and mounted on roller hangings, from the Journal Printing Company. Altogether the Brotherhood is to be congratulated on the prosperity of the Organization, and the substanial and useful character of the home it has estabished for itself.

We regret that we are unable to give the addresses of the Hon. Messrs. Linegan and Graham, as they were both exceedingly interesting and instructive. It was one of the largest gatherings we have ever attended, over 400 delegates being present from six different states. Upon reaching the hall it was found that nearly every seat was taken on the floor of the house as well as in both galleries, and it was with difficulty we could get into the body of the hall. The principal rooms of the State House were kept open during the day for the benefit of the visiting members and their friends, which certainly was an act of kindness on the part of the representatives of the state worthy of our highest appreciation. The Broth-swer given within ten days. ers of Springfield Division have every reason to feel proud of their first union meeting, and the compliments paid their hall.

Nearly every day we learn of some party too indolent to earn an honest living by the labor of his hands, who is traveling about the country and with smooth talk dead-beating his way, and by an unwarranted use of someone's name, or a worthless imitation of something that has proven itself of value seeking to benefit himself at the expense of the purchaser and to the detriment of those whose purpose it is to furnish such goods only as will make good their recommendation. The latest case is that of an ex-Pan Handle engineer, who was for a time an agent of the Matchless Metal will enable all to avoid this palpable fraud.
