An anditing committe on local union accounts was ap pointed, consisting of James Sweeney, Daniel Cavanongh, William Eldrigan, Joseph Cosgrave and Oscar Summer. ‘The books containing the distribution of the per captia tax are always balanced by the unfon, that no unequal discriminations in bearing the burdens may be made. A committee on resolutions was appointed to draft an expression of thanks to the originator of the Plimsoll bill, which did so much for the sailors’ benefit in England.

Foran, of Cleveland. his bill regulates the number of able-bodied senmen which steam and sailing vessels of stated tonnage shall carry as acrew, the accommodations which shall be furnished, and the general treatment of the men. It provides: for in- spection of all versel=, and makes sailors’ wages a lien on the boat.

President Powers in his report eald. ‘Nhe increase from local unions to the international fund is about 6,000 per annum. ‘The dues paid by $6,000 members is 35 cents per month, from which the local nnion expenses are paid. An assessment ot five cents per mem- ber is made upon each death, which amount goes into the general fund, From this, burial expenses and sick benefits are paid. There is an immense amount of mutual comfort brought about through the influence and power of this Union.” THE CENTURY A GREAT ENTERPRISE. PAPERS ON THE CIVIL WAR. The important feature of. THE CENTURY MAGAZINE for the coming year—indeed, per- haps the most important ever undertaken by the magazine—will be a series of separate papers on the great battles of the war for the Union, written by general officers high in command upon both the Federal and the Confederate sides—General Grant (who writes of Vicksburg, Shiloh and Oth- er battles,) Generals Longstreet, McClellan, Beauregard, Rosecrans, Hill,. Admiral Porter, and others. The series opens in the November Cen. tury with a graphically illustrated article on the battle of Bull Run, written by the Confederate general, G, T, Beauregard. Brief sketches, en- titled “Recollections of a Private,” papers chron- icling special events, descriptions of various auxil- jary branches of the xervice, etc., will supplement the more important series by the various generals. A strict regard for accuracy will guide the preparation of the illustrations for the Century, In the line of fiction the Century will maintain its prestige, and furnish the best stories by Amer- ican writers that can be procured. In November begins a new novel by W. D. Howells, author of “Venetian Days,” “A Modern Instance,” etc. This story deals with the rise of an American business man, A novel by Henry James, a nov- elette by Grace Denio Litchfield, and short stories by “Uncle Remus,” Frank R. Stockton, H, H. Boyeson, T. A. Janvier, H. H., Julian Haw- thorne, and other equally well-known writers will appear at various times. Under the heading of miscellaneons features may be included a series of papers on the cities of Italy by W. D. Howells, the illustrations being reproductions of etchings and drawings by Joseph Pennell; a series on the new Northwest being an interesting group of papers by E, V, Smalley, Lieutenant Schwatka, Principal Grant (of Kings- ton, Ontaria,) and others, descriptive of little- | known tegions; papers on French and American art—sculpture and painting. with some exquisite illustrations; papers on astronomy, architecture and history, the first being by Professor Langley, and others Under Architecture are included more of Mrs, Van Rensselaer’s article on churches, city and country houses, etc. Colonel George E. Warrington, jr., will describe progress in sanitary draining; E, €, Stedman Edwin Gosse, and oth ers will furnish literary essays; George W. Cable will contribute in various ways; several papers on Sport and adventure will soon be published, and John Burroughs will write from time to time on outdoor subjects, Readers of the CENTURY may feel sure of keeping abreast of the times on leading subjects that may properly come within the province of a montbly magazine. Its circulation is now about 140,000 monthly, the November numbar exceed- ing that figure. Subscriptions should date from this number, beginning the war series and Mr Howell’s novel. Priee $4.00 year, 35 cents a num!er, All book sellers and news-dealers sell it and take subscripnions, or remittances may be made to publishers, A free specimen copy of the CENTURY will be sent on request.
