PALL'S SOCIAL NEW YEAR'S AND CHRISTMAS SO CIALIST-LABOR PARTY EN TERTAINMENT Sonars. Speeches, ReeitntloiM and Other E\erol»c« Combine to Edi fy a Large Audience of Socialists and Their Families. Section St. Paul, of the Social Labor |>arty, held its annual Christmas and New Year's entertainment yesterday aft ernoon at Assembly hall, corner Third and Wabasha streets. There were be tween six and seven hundred presar.t, the hall packed, and standing room only available. It was an entertainment mora especially designed for young people and children, and in this respect was an un qualified success. Mr. Ernile Constant presided, r.nd fol lowing- the "Marseillaise,'' by tiie o.chei tra, delivered a short addrtss of welcome. Briefly he outlined the demands of so cialists, described their present status, and urged them to continue s. work which was already auspicious'.y bagu.-i. He? raii that socialism would never ba content with anything less than the financial death cf eveiy capitalist in the land. They demanded labor from those who had nev er worked before, and a time when l'ttle overburdened children should work kss. In the name of Section St. Paul Social Labor party he welcomed the large au dience bafore him. "The Dawn of Ireland's Freedom" Is what might be termed a curtain raiser, and was, in jeality, a brief comedy bit of acting that was highly appreciated. It was given in character by the Barnes Bisters and Mr. Strange. Chairman Constant then introduced W. B. Ikmraond, who said in part that one year ago there was a similar meeting held in the same hall. In c;iscs like the present it was easy to indulge in retro spection, and to dwell upon Ihe progress made In years gone by. Was the Social Labor party making progress? Could Its members see improvement over the past? II not, it might be well to change their methods. Eut that they were retrograd ing in any respect could hardly be true, in view of the inteiest manifested by tha audience before him. It was composed largely of men, women and children who, nearly all, had a vital interest in socialism. And working people were the ones who would reap the future benefit of socialism. The speaker was positive that the laboring classes had made de cided progress during the past year. The Bection had grown in numbers and influ ence. And the spirit of socialism would spread more widely yet. Even capitalists recognized the progress the party was making. It was admitted by the daily press. Each year socialists were ap proaching the triumphs 1 that await them in the future. Mr. Hammond said that he recently read an article in a paper describing the great changes that had taken place since the day of Washington, and the editor had argue;! from this that the country was in a most happy and prosperous condition. Of course capital ists reasoned from this that all were bet ter off. But the working people, who had brought these beneficent changes about, did not enjoy the benefits of thsm. Far from it. Only the rich enjoyed thz product of their skill and labor. Social ists, however, were striving for this end. They realize that they are not get'ing their share of such improved condhions. Machinery had detlected these bene'its from their ranks. Machinery had built up a class of non-workers. Jobs were in secure. If John got a job today, Charlie YOU NEVER NEED ASK j •WHAT DIFFERENT GRADES ARE THERE IN A THERE ARE NONE There is no "grading" known In the Steinway factory.

Were socialists sat'sSed with theso con ditions? They should at once reso.ve to accomplish their work in the near fuiure, and come into their own. Th:-y must oust capitalism before they can enjoy the good things of life to which they are en titled. They earn these good things, but are, at present, deprived of them. Ther* was no one without s^me influence. In a year from now they should be able to point to the fact that 1900 had wonder fully advanced their cause. Work only can accomplish this much to be desired result. Following the address of Mr.'Hammond there was a song by the little Wi'.son cnil dren, "Our Cause Is Marching On." Soma very graceful calisthenic exercises were executed by a group of five little girls robed in lemon-colored dresses, and the orchestra gave another number. A reci tation by Clayton Stadfield was well re ceived, and the young orator responded to an encore. The socialist drum corps gave a stirring exhibition, and H. Carling recited "Hoch der Kaiser," which was re ceived with tumultuous applause. A se lection on the drum by little Norman Bergeson was followed by another com edy act by the Barnes sisters and Mr. Strange, after which the presents were disrlbuted among the children, each one receiving a gift. The hall was then cleared for dancing, which continued until a late hour. .«». !— SILKS IDENTIFIED. Part o< Those in Mrs. Rivnrd's Po» --session Cnme Front Olson's.

This is due to the fact that while there has been a de crease in heavy cattle there has been a large increase in the number of yearlings and stock calves that have come to the market to be sold. South St. Paul has made rapid strides in the year just closed as a stock cattle point. The same fact Is found again in the table showing tne shipments. While many more cattle have been shipped out, the number of cars is less, showing an in crease in the .shipment of stock cattle. There is comparatively little difference in the number of hogs shipped out in 1898 and 1899. As the receipts were con siderably larger it is readily seen that the number of hogs used at South St. Paul has increased. As less sheep were received for feeding purposes it is but natural that there should have been a falling off in the shipments. BUYING FOR 1899. Bearing out the statement that South St. Paul is growing at a great rate as a stock cattle market it will be .-een in the, table given be'.ow that buylnss by job bers, feeders and brokers have been heavy. In the cases of the two princi pal broking firms, Slimmer & Thomas nnd Hankey Bros., their business sho.vs an increase of more than BO per cent. Of Wentworth & Co.. it may bs said that the firm is a comparatively new eVe, but it is already a factor and its business is grow ing daily. The business of the local Tf&cJkers, fa miliarly known as-jhe'-'^pVown d*cl»t«. j1 has grown with the rest, oahd their buy ings, especially in-catfce 1 tfrid Bogs, show splendid increases.

It will be found that In cattle there is a shortage, and this is again due to the fact that less Western cattle came to the market and less heavy catle. In comparing the number of hogs btught in the two years it will be seen that there has been a substantial in crease and the same is true of sheep, and in this latter case the surmise that more sheep have ci.me to the market fat and ready to kill is borne out.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR 1899. . Swift & Co. have under way extensive' improvements that will make it almost possible for the business of the company to be doubled at South St. Paul in 190 X A large addition is building to the fer tilizer and a new refrigerating plant will be in readiness for use long before the warm weather comes, and in addition to this the pork cellars are being rearranged and enlarged. These improvements, when completed, will have cost about $100,000. It is not improbable, too, that the pres ent quarters occupied as offices may be enlarged and refitted, as the business has grown to such proportions that the present clerical force may have to be greatly increased, and this will make the new quarters necessary. The improvements to the plant proper will make it possible for Swift & Co. to handle and kill about double the num ber of hogs bought In 1899, and it will also be possible to handle and kill 50 per cent n>ore cattle and sheep. The Union Stock Yards company also has under way and in contemplation im provements that will be of great benefit to the yards and will greatly facilitate the handling of stock. An additional scale and weighing yard is at the pres ent time receiving its finishing touches. This new .scale will be used in weighing cattle and can also be pressed into serv ice in handling heavy runs of sheep. It will be a great aid to salesmen, as stock may be weighed up and gotten out ot the way much more quickly. It is pos sible that the one great Improvement to the yards ard the one that means so much, the paving in brick of the pens and alleys, may alos be put through dur ing this year. This matter is before the board ot directors of the company at the present time. "It means a vast outlay of money, but it Is an improve, ment that is needed and one that will be welcome to all. MODEL BANKING HOUSE. One of the successful institutions at South St. Paul is the Stock Yards bank, which is now in fibout the middle of its third business year. It is conducted on good, sound business methods, deals en tirely with reliable business men and is in every way a model institution. It has a very large undivided profit, considering the amount oi capital, and its statements are a source of satisfaction to its stock holders.

One of the largest and at the same time one of the most successful meat and provision companies- in the city is the Haas Bros. Company, located on St. Peter street. The proprietors, Henry G. Haas and Jacob J. Haas, have long be^n in the business of providing choice viands and high class provisions to the people of St. i'.iu:. L n. •stabllsh ment has grown from a modest meat shop to one of the largest and best equipped markets to be- found in any city in the country. The firm is enter prising in every way and may alwaya be found in the front rank in the army of progression. The buyings of this firm in the course of a year amount to as much as a small packing plant. FINDS ST. PAUL WARM. E. M. Walters, a Cape Nome Resi dent, Tells of Its Wenlth.

Not that I want to advocate the cape ac a health resort, as it is no country for Invalids, but a place where a man must have plen ty of heart. It is not always the big, strong fellows that do the best. There is room for a great many more peopie on the capo; why it would be years before the gold fields laying directly tributary to the shore will be taken as claims. Tho territory on the American tide has bee:\ but little prospected, but it is known definitely that the American side is far richer than Dowson and the locality v here the best claims were first located.

"I have thrpe claims, which are no bet ter than hundreds of others to be had to the ncith of the settlement. After spending a short time in Philadelphia I expect to return to the cape." CAENIVAL COMMENT. Working plans for the great Dewey arch and tha cruiser Olympla in ice will be arranged for as soon as the directors of the Carnival association act on the report of the committee on central feat ure, which will be made known at noon tcdny. by which time it is expected that Senator Davis will know positively what the intentions of the admiral are with re spect to the invitaticn that has baen sent him. The last that was heard from the senator on the matter was on Saturday, when he said that the chances of the ad» miral accepting the, .invitation were very good. In any event, the work on the plans may begin iOjt,; once The architect will be designated at the roeeting today. It is expected that working plans of the arch may be had from New York, but the ship will be built on lines to be had from the navy department. The slip will take the place of the fortification usually used in assaults and bombarding. The vessel wjII be exactly like the original, the interior, tops and turrets illuminated brilliantly from with in, and the gun apertures being used for the discharge of fireworks. The hqllow interior of the arch will be provided with a system of lighting in alternating col crs, and magnificent effects are looked for. The elaborate details in sculpture will be difficult, but the difficulties not gieater than those overcome in the works cut a dozen years ago for the ttatuary. The outline figures, the groat victory group on top ot the arch may be mo.de on frame work in Ice and snow, the bas re'iefs bsing done with the chisel. It is expected that about two weeks' actual working time will be necessary to the completion of the structures. * a * The matter of railroad *r«.tes will bs taken up this week. Mayor Klefer is at tho head of the committee having the arrangement in charge, and he has al ready had pome correspondence with the railroads. It is confidently expected that a tingle fare will be made to cover a iadius of above three: hundred miles. The rallrcsds will also second the work of publicity by distributing carnival lit trature. Th's will take the form of lacge posters and single sheets, bearing in vivid colors an emblematic figure and the necessary text. A hundred thousand small bills will be s«»t cut at once; within a week every traveling man in the North west will be supplied with stickers, and all the mail matter from the big houses of the c'ty will carry- an imprinted re minder of the carnival dates. The news papers of the Northwest have evinced a very generous spirit, and most of them of the past week's issue have spoken In commendation of the project of a winter carnival. LAID TO REST. Funeral of the Late E. V. Smalley Largely Attended. Ihe funeral of the late E. V. Smalley tcok place yesterday afternoon at 2:30 from th? family residence, 633 Holly av enue. The services were of an eminently s'mplo nature, the brief Episcopal serv ice being read by Rev. C. D. Andrews, of Christ church. A delegation from Acker post were present, and tha regular G. A. R. burial service was read by tha commander and chaplain. Several benu* tiful floral gift*-- surrounded the heavily drt.ped. coffin, and attending the last rites were many of Mr. Srr.alley's prominent business and profe??ional friends. Wai; ter M. O.

A meeting of the executive coinmittea of the Srund Money league, of which Mr. Smalley was the general secretary, will be held very soon to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Smalley. J. Sterling Morton is president of the league. SECOND-HAND DEALERS. They Decide to Offer the City the Old License Fee. At a meeting of the second-hand deal ers yesterday it was decided to tender the^ city $25 license fee, the amount required under the old ordinance. Twenty-five at tending the meeting agreed to this. Last year a similar tender was made the city and refused. The existing ordinance places second-hand dealers in tha same class with pawnbrokers, and Imposes a fine of 1100. This the second-hand men contend is rot fair. In every city in the Union a distinction Is made between sec ond-hand dealers and pawnbrokers The new law reduced the pawnbrok T3' license and raised the second-hand men's license to the same basis, that of $100. The or dinance- has never been cojnplled with, and the city's refusal last year to ac cept $25 from the second-hand men was a loss as it was not found practicable to collect $100.
