A meeting of the state federation of labor was held yesterday afternoon in Labor Temple. Twenty delegates from St. Paul and Minneapolis were present.

Erwin, the attorney, was thanked and complimented for his work iii the behalf ol the strikers.

The meeting ad journed to the first Sunday in June, when the sessions will be held in St. Paul. AMUSEMENTS. IToyt's musical absurdity, "A Trip to Chinatown." is at the Bijou again, just is funny as ever and with the same clash that characterized its initial pro duction. The company presenting it is strong and every member is a hard worker. The theater was packed at the matinee performance, and there was not even standing room in the evening. Burt Haverley as Weliand strong, George A. Beane Jr. as Ben Gay, Harry Gilfoil as Noah Heap, the " waiter; Laura Bigsrar as Mrs. Guyer. Patrice as Flirt, and the little McCoy sis ters, are worthy of special mention. Each made a hit in specialties. Gil foil's whistling and imitations were a feature of the performance. The piece is staged superbly, and every piece of scenery used in the production is car ried by the company. Taking It all through, "A TriD to Chinatown" makes a pleasing entertainment. The lirst of the Nordiea concerts will be given at the Grand opera-house to night. Mine. Nordiea Is, without doubt, the strongest card for a soprano that could be secured. There are live of the foremost artists in this country in her company. Gardner, Alias Huss, in Hock. Sergeant Leonard and Patrolman Murrissey yesterday arrested a tough named Tom Gardner, alias Tom Hass, and locked him up at the central sta tion. llass was round in a house of ill repute ou First street.

A lion t two vvreksagolt became known that Col. Mattson was dangerously ill. Fora week it was expected that bis departure would be only a question of hours. About a week ago he began to grow stronger. The family began to take heart It was hoped that Ins ir.m constitution would pull him through. But he was 100 much weakened by his Illness. Death was caused by fatty degenera tion of the heart. Dr. '1011, the attend ing physician, was with him when he die. l. as were all the members of the family save two sous who are in Cali fornia. Col. Mattsou leaves a wife and one daughter, the wile of L. Jaeger. editor of the North. The funeral ar rangements have nut been made yet. Col. Hans MaWson has had a remark able career, in I. is early lite in business his experiences were, perhaps, but little different from those ol the usual immi grant frotc European countries. He was a SwedUb-Americau pioneer. He start ed at the bottom and became one of the foremost Swedish-Americans in the world, and an acknowledged leader of his people. He had been honored over must men by public office. He was t v, ice am ii tor of Goodbue county, served in the war as a colonel of the Third regiment Minnesota volunteers, was elected secretary of state in Minnesota three times, and represented the United i^ consul general lo India during the Uarfleld-Artbur administration. Hans Mattson was born at Kristion- Btad, Sweden, in 1832. His father was a farmer in good circumstances. Young Mattson enjoyed educational advan tages rather "better than the average, and improved them. Be enlisted in the artillery branch of the Swedish army when seventeen and served two years, applying himself to the study of mathe matics meanwhile. Ile first set foot on the American continent at Boston In 1851. when nineteen years of age. For a year or so he knocked around between Boston and Buffalo, N. V.. working at anything, served as cabin boy on a Southern coast steamer, then came West to Ualesbtirg, DL Later he moved to .Moline, 111., and ex perienced there hardships which nearly ended his life. Meanwhile his father had joined him. With a few of their own nationality, he and his father came to Minnesota, and founded what is now the flourishing community ot Vasa, in (Joodliue county. Young Mattson ex perienced the hardships common to Minnesotians in those pioneer days of tne state. In is".; Young Mattson found himself stranded by the reaction from the fever ish Western laud speculations. He was persuaded to enter the law. He read with Warren Bristol, of Red Wing, afterwards tJnitedStates attorney in New Mexico, and tried his lir>t case before Ju dee, afterwards Senator. Mc- Millan. Politics attracted him, and he was elected auditor of (ioodhue county the next year, lie went to the war on the second call tor troops as captain ot" Company I). Third reiriment. He served tour years in the war. rose to the rank ot colonel, and alter Murfreesboro, as senior officer, re ceived the surrender ot Gen. Jeff Thompson and command at Latesville, Ark-. In 1866 Col. Mattson became editor of Svenskca Amerikaneram. lie was ap pointed on the stale board of immiirra tion and in 1868 was elected secretary of Btate. In is;o he helped to draft the national law for the protection of immi irrants. The next year he resigned the secretaryship of state to go to Europe as financial agent for Jay Cooke, who was then Dashing the Northern Pa cific railroad project. After three years spent mostly in Europe, Cooke fell and Col. Mattson came home to publish the Stats Tiduing in Minneapolis and also as one of the editors of the Svenska Tribunen, of Chicago. He was ,n the newspaper business actively until 1881, when lie went to Calcutta as consul eeneral. His commission was the la>t official document signed by President Garfield after he was shot.

Mattson had been engaged chiefly in financial enterprises. lie was presi dent of the Swedish-American bank. the Security Loan and Investment company t a company formed to build a hotel i:i Chicago to accommodate world's fair visitors or limited means. He al ways bad a liking for the newspaper business, and at the time of bis death was editor-in-chief of the North, lie had dabbled some in literature. At least one successlul novel. ".Miiinen,"' was written by him. His "Story of an Emi grant,'* a narration of his own experi ences, leached such a large sale in the original Swedish that it was recently republished in English. TEX-CEXT DIXNKRS. How They Can He Served by Kcs- tanrant Keeper*. On First avenue south, between First and Second streets, is a cheap restau rant and lodgiuir house combined, called "The Loop." Huge flaring signs flutter from the awning announcing that a whole dinner, with Jelly and ice cream us side dishes, can be had for 10 cents. The police have been watching "The Loop, ' for it was a mystery to them how the proprietor cqnld set up so big a meal for a dime and why there was such a crowd of bums «nd toughs about the place. Several commission merchants had also (Tom plained that someone was stealing pails ot jelly, cans of pressed meats and other articles of food, and they could not locate the thieves. Saturday Patrolman John Morrissey kept a watch over "The Loop." and during the afternoon he saw a couple of seedy-looking fellows inarch into the restaurant, carrying a pall of jelly in each hand. Morrissey followed them into the restaurant and rescued the jelly, It had been "stolen- from a com mission house on First avenue north and sold to the proprietor of "The Loop" for SO cents a pail. A warrant will be sworn out for his arrest this morning. The police have also been watching a cheap restaurant on Washington ave nue south, and expect to have a case against the proprietor before long. . It is claimed that he has in tow a gang of THE SAINT PAUL DAJLY GLOBE: MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 0, wjh. tramps and petty thieves who make the rounds or the commission houses.grocery stores ami meat markets every day and steal whatever they can ] their hands on. They bring in all their 111-gotten staff to the restaurant keeper, and ho hustles It back to the kitchen ami soon has it ready to serve to his customers. In this way he manages to serve up all the delicacies of the season for a very low price. The tramps and thieves board with him, find receive a little money for the stuff they brine: in. It is said his kitchen is crammed full of canoed goods, and, though as yet the police cannot prove they were stolen, they are mortally certain the restaurant keeper never came by his possessions honestly. • TOPICS OF TODAY. Rev. G. Ij. Mori-ill Touches Upon vents or Iteri-nt Date. Before his sermon last evening at Cal vary Baptist church, Rev. G. L. Morrlll took occasion to comment on some of the events of the week, say ins;, in sub stance: "Ex-I'resldent Harrison retires to pri vate life with the nation's respect for his capable, clean and worthy adminis tration. He has combined piety with patriotism, ami stands for the highest type of Christian American manhood. His enemies cannot defame, disparage or discredit hi.ii. Of him It may fit tingly be said, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant.' President Cleveland, in his inaugural address, recognizes the (Jo<i of this government in words showing the solemnity of the occasion. Whether we voted for him or not. he and his counsellors have ■ rightful plane in our prayerful sympathy and support that the Great Ruler may give divine wis dom tor the performance of diilicult duty. New Jersey's statute to legalize gam bling is a dirty disgrace, a triumph of vice over virtue, of fraud over fairness, and pleases none but imps of hell, in whose interest it was framed. I, for one. am sorry for, and ashamed of, my native state. South Dakota's victory over the liquor element's effort for '•resubmUsiou"- is a cause of pal itude to all who believe that rum is cue of the It's that threatens our civilization. "Alabama's disfrnnehisement of thou sands of her n«tgro population is on a par with New Orleans' plug-ugly Ism ethics of 'might makes rii:ht.' She has sown what she will some day reap, though the sickle, be dull, the sun hot and back ache. "The Minnesota 'honorable' hypo crites who have defeated the Cairns bill for the removal of saloon screens and are hostile to anti-pool room legisla tion, are making a history which an outraged constituency will remember, and read to them when election day re quires and invites." OX REVIVALS. Rev. William Wilkinson Points Out That '1 here Arc 1 WO Kinds. Yesterday morning, in his sermon at St. Andrews' Episcopal church, Rev. William Wilkinson had this to say about revivals: "Every good man must take deep in terest in all which concerns the exten sion of the church. Every honest effort put forth with this object must com mand respect, even from men who may see cause to question the wisdom of some of the methods used. So lam glad we are to have a series of evange- I list meetings, and trust great good may come out of them. It may, however, be well to consider what am the true spiritual conditions upon which a real revival depends, for all men should be given clearly to un derstand that the kingdom of grace is not like the kingdom of trade. Men can get up a railway company or a Hour so ciety, but not in like way a genuine re vival of religion. We may, at our sweet will, engage singers of marked power. We may have all kinds of instruments of music in the hands of those who can make them discourse exquisite and catching harmonies, we 1 may have extensive and adroit advertis ing, and halls brilliant with light; the meetings may be addressed by men of well-proved eloquence. But this alone can bo more produce a revival than an electric shock can raise to life the ancient dead. Machinery in religion has its place of importance, but it is not life. The public in this city at this time should keep this in mind: The church is subject to Divine law. The servants of Christ who want to en gage other men lor him have not to make the conditions under which hew recruits may enlist. The regulations and the instructions are all in the hand-book of directions called the New Testament. Jesus Christ sent forth the apostles and disciples to preach repentance and par don, and told them to baptize men in the name of the Father, the Son. and the Holy Ghost, and so they did, but it was in holy love, in an ardent desire for the increase of the saved, in united, fervent prayer, in singleness of heart, in full , knowledge that, even with St. Peter to preach, without the Holy Ghost no good could be done. Here is the lesson of the ages for revivals. Temporary enthusiasm can do great things, but they are tran sient and, like the early dew, pass away, often leaving the church as bad as, if not worse, than before. In times like these we are to have the next weeks the danger is greatest; men shall look upon distorted views of God, views which do Him and those who hold them a sad injustice. Any prayer or supplica tion which takes it for granted, or which leaves it to be understood that God has to be persuaded to bless us, to love us, to desire our good, or that ne desires to punish us is entirely wrong. It is per nicious to the last degree.Such teaching has done untold, nay, 1 will say, in calculable, hurt. It has outraged the best moral sense of the best men who ever graced tbe world. And it has hardened the worst, and driven them farther away from the true light. It is sure that there is a warrior side in the character, and in the very nature of God; but it is intended to be exercised against sin, while he lores the sinner and wants to bless and make him happy by making him holy."

Those of the Michigan Central : « . Talk of.Going on a Big Strike. General Managers of All Roads l Say Thoy Will Not Increase TcV .• "Wages.' •j:,;--: i > Ciut'AOo, March 5.— A strike of the switchmen and swltchtendcrs on tho Michigan Central road is Imminent, and if It is not promptly settled there is a strong possibility of its leading to com plications upon other roads. Last Fri day tho employes of the Michigan Cen tral formulated a. demand for an in crease of wages, with tho intimation that an answer would bo* looked for Monday noon. The increase demanded was to 80 cents per hour for day helpers and 82 cents lor day foremen, night helpers and night foremen to get 88 and 34 cents. •If these demands are not granted the men say they will strike, and the majority of the engineers and firemen on the switch ing engines will, the switchmen say, stand by them. The large majority of the dissatisfied men on the Michigan Central are non-union men, and Grand Master Wilson, of the Switclfmon's as sociation, said today that he had no power over them, though, for the sake of his own men working on the road, he was endeavoring to prevent a strike. The dissatisfied men have left the mat ter in the hands of their own committee and the officers of the Switchmen's as sociation, but tho feeling among them is strong, both on account of wages paid and time— some of them claiming to be worked seventeen hours a day, and if they do not receive what they ask they will, they say, walk out in a body. It was learned today that at a secret meeting of the .switchmen, held in this city some time ago, and at which every road entering Chicago was represented, it was determined to present all de mands for increase of wages and for re dress of grievances to the general man ager by noon March 8. On every road complaints have been sent in, and the committee will begin to arbitrate with the general managers next Tuesday afternoon, and the question of strikes will depend upon the outcome of these meetings. Less than a week ago a meeting of the general managers of all roads centering in Chicago was held, and it was unanimously declared the sense of 'the meeting that no increase in wages would be granted during the present year. The men declare that tnis is only a bluff on the part of the general managers, and the complaints and demands which have been sent in will soon show how much firmness there is behind the resolution. Division Superintendent Snyder, of the Michigan Central, said tonight, that the demands of the men would not bi granted, and that if they struck new men would be put in their places. ' THE SILVKU DANGER. v lt Is Discussed by a Leading Aus trian Financier. . '.New York, March s.— "Austria will have a new currency on a gold basis, begin Jan. 1, next year, and the knowledges the change of affairs has already had a wonderfully favorable ef fect on the financial condition of the country. I cannot understand why the United States continues to pur chase silver for the solo benefit of the owners of silver mines. If any such financial policy which the United States has so long maintained were kept up half as long by any other country that country would be ruined." So said Arnold Weiss burger, the Aus trian financier. Mr. Weissburger is connected with the privileged imperial and royal bank of the provinces ot Aus tria, and is going to Chicago to estab lish a branch of the bank "for the ac commodation or Austrian exhibitors and Austrian visitors during the world's fair. "Everything must be possible in America, when the government can purchase so much silver and at the same time maintain its credit. It is a mystery to mo how it is done, but it is done just the same. But it cannot last long, and Use United States is acting most un wisely in permitting its gold to leave tha country. Of course, Austria has no complaints to make, because in this countiy we find the easiest market in which to get gold. The Privileged and Imperial Royal bank alone has se cured $ 10,000,000 of America's gold ex ports. Austria's credit lias been in creased to a remarkable extent by establishing its currency on a gold basis. There are no bi-metallists in Eu rope to speak of, and the conference at Brussels will not amount to anything. The gold scare will have a great effect in changing the attitude of some of the delegates when the conference meets again in July, but the result will prob ably bo that nothing definite or satis factory will be accomplished by the delegates. The United States, in order to maintain its credit, will have to put a stop to its silver purchases, and at the same time put a stop to large exports of gold." BOOTH'S BIG JOB. He May Try the "/)arkest En gland' Scheme Here. New York, March s.— Balllngton Booth, the commander of the Salvation Army in this country, has decided to adopt his father's "darkest England" scheme here. He has already received several offers of land for the first farm be wishes to establish, but has not yet made his selection for this proposed colony, as the land offered is in the West. What be wants first is a farm near New York city, because his first colony will bo 3 made up of those, rescued here. The probabilities are that this farm will be in New Jersey. The plan for his scheme is to establish a shelter in all large cities, where he will temporarily receive and care lor, as best ho can, those who ask for assistance. All of these who are willing and able to do farm work will be bent to join the colony established on the farm nearest each city. There the process of reform ation will be carried forward by indus trial, moral and religious methods, with the hope that some day the fallen ono may be restored to friends. iir DEPARTMENT METHODS.

Ton Thousand of It Destroyed in a Burning Building* Boston, March The Grant build- Ing, on Central square, Cambridge, was almost entirely destroyed by fire early today. Tlio structure is three-stories high, and is owned by John 13. W. Joy, of Boston. There were nearly a score ■of occupants. The most of the third floor was occupied for storage purposes, and it is thought the tiro origi nated in one of these storaire rooms. The tiro was confined to the third story, but the remainder of the building was badly damaged. The loss on the build ing will bo probably from $20,000 to 126,000, and to the occupants from 185,000 to $40,000. The insurance on the build ing is $30,000. It is reported that Mc- Kenzie had $10,000 In silver coin stored iv his room, all ot which was lost. IN THE SENATE TODAY. Senator Stewart May BrlriK in a Silver liesolutlon. . Washington, March s.— The senate of the Fifty-third congress will reas semble in special session tomorrow at noon. Usually these special sessions are perfunctory and formal, the busi ness done being confined to the recep tion of nominations from the president, beginning with the cabinet nominations, and winding up when the places within the gift of the chief executive, which are of the first trade of importance, such as the Heads of the principal bureaus of the governmental service and the foreign ministries, are tilled. But because of the peculiar condition of affairs, so tar as the composition of the senate itself is concerned, with the doubtful standing ot the senators who hold appointments from the gov ernors of their state, instead of cre dentials of election by the legis latures, and, iurther, because of the an nounced intentions of Senator Stewart, of Nevada, to precipitate a silver dis cussion by the introduction of a resolu tion of inquiry directed to the new sec retary of the treasury, it may be that this special session will assume a de gree ot importance and excite such pop ular interest as has never before been witnessed in such cases. It is probable that in the early part of the week the senators on both sides of the chamber will hold caucuses to determine upon lines of party policy, and what shall be done in respect to the organization of the committees and of the numerous force of senatorial employes. As time is no lack of, candidates for the highly desirable places wUi<in the disposition of the majority in the senate in both the committee assignments and the appoint ments pertaining to the office of the secretary of the senate and the sergeant at-arms, some lively contests may be expected.

O 5 Why is Pears' Soap — the best in the world, the soap with no free alkali in it — sold for 1 5 cents a cake ? It was made for a hospital soap in the first place, made by request; the doctors wanted a soap that would wash as sharp as any and do no harm to the skin. That means a soap all soap, with no free alkali in it, nothing but soap ; there is nothing mysterious in it. Cost depends on quantity; quantity comes of quality.
