and visitors at Ht. Thomas' collego hall.
Halter's orchestia will furnish music.
Thorn will also be a large iiumlier of
smaller tcceptlous by tho vatlous etSrls
to their national nlllcers and delegates.
One of the principal subjects to oc
cupy Ihe attention of lite convention Is
the Chinese exclusion net. The l'aelllc
coast delegation, headed by J, T. Mor
gan, or Portland, Ore., will tight vigor
ously to have the convention not only
declare for the rc-enacttnent of Iho
(lenr.v law, but for an extensive widen
ing of Us scope to make It more strin
gent. The matter of tho government
letting out ship-building nnd other big
tontracls In private contractors will
also conic In for 11 big share of atten
tion. Tho union men want thut the
government should do Its own work,
because It pays good wages, exacts only
eight hours' labor and never Itns
strikes.
A light Is llltel.v over the iiliesliotl of
jurisdiction over engineers anil llreim-n
at coal mines. The stationary engi
neers' nnd tlienien's organizations will
demand that these men be turned over
to them. The ('illicit Mine Workcis
will oppo-io it. As tlio mine workcis.
will have the largest delegation of any
organization represented lit the con
vention, It confidently expects to win.
The controversy between President
Shafer, of the steel workers, on the
one side, and Ptcsldelit (tampers and
Vice President Mitchell on the other,
nt the close of the unsuccessful steel
strike, will likely be the occasion of
some lively discussion.
The convention Is to bo hold under
the auspices of the Central Labor
union. Its committee of anangeiuenls
consists of John II. Devlne, chairman:
ftcorge tlolliier. secretary; Hugh
Franey. livastuer: Stephen Price, Jos
eph Williams, Hlchard Hoberts. Wal
ter Junes, D.tnlel Coleman, Joseph Oli
ver, W. c. Patterson and W. A. Stan
ton. Walter Joins, president of the Cen
tral Labor union, will act ns messen
ger of the convention, and fleorgo

J., LAST JULY.
Since Then He Has Ttavelled Exten
sively in the West and Has Been in
Canada on the North and ns Far
as New Mexico on the South Ar
il ved In This City from Bingham
ton on tho Step of n Lackawanna
Fast Vesttbulcd Express Is Now
Returning to His Home.
'A 11-year-old Jewish boy was found
yesterday nf tut 110011 sitting on thn
steps of tho fust Lackawanna vestl
buled train which arrives In this olty
fiom the west about it.UO o'clock.
"Here you, boy, wheic did you coup-'
from?" asked a special policeman ns
he grubbed him by tho arm,
"oh. 1 Just blew in from liliigham
ton," said the lad. "I don't can; It
you art est inc. The cops In eight
towns nil over the country has pinched
me in the last four months and a half,
but I've never been sent up yet. Onnte
on tin and we'll see the Judge," and
ho walked along up with ilia olllcer lo
Maglsliule Howe's ofllce.
"Hello, Judge, glad to sec you. You're
a pietty nice looking man." said the
1 1-year-old lad, its he was ushered into
the maglsl rate's presence. .My name's
Louy, Abel Leny. and I'm ft 0111 New
nil;, N. .1. Han uwny fiom home last
July to see tho country and I've trav
elled s.OOO miles since that time. Ueen
arrested eight times, but no judge
ever laid the heurt lo send me up.
(Join home now to see the folks."
After finishing this remarkable
speech, Master Abel Leny sat down
in a ctiatr and put his feet up 011
the window sill to awnlt developments.
He was attired In a cast-off suit which
he said a newspaper man In Hlng
hamton had given him. The trousers
were so long that they wete turned
up about a loot and the youngster
looked as contented as If (hoy were
tailor made.
SENT TO POLICE STATION.
Magistrate Howe questioned the Lid
for a little while nnd sent him up lo
the central police station lo stay over
night, promising to let him go in the
morning if he behaved himself.
V Tribune man saw Abel at the sta
tion last night and found him to be
11 most procoelous youngster. Ho is
porhans about as conceited a lad as
one could meet In a week's travel, and
likes nothing better than to sit back
and tell all about what he's done and
where he's been for tho edification of
an assembled crowd. He held forth
to the policemen for several hours
and seemed to be real sorry when It
came time to go to bed.
He is a remarkably clever lad for his
age, however, and there is a look in
his dancing black eyes which reveals
an innate shrewdness and keenness of
intellect. He's up to all sorts of dodges
and one of his favorite I ricks seems
to be to refer frequently to his "dear
mother" at homo and how- dearly, oh
how dearly he loves her. As ho says
this he puts an affected sincerity into
his voice thut must certainly have
succeeded In opening- the purse strings
of many a person in the last few
months.
The hoy s.iys he left home to see
the country and that since July he
has been in twenty-two states. He
has u diary- in which ho has kept an
iici urate account of all his travels and
n 1 et'usal of this, together with his
famil'nrlty: with western railroads and
cities would tend to bear out his story.
He says ho has been as far west as
New Mexico nnd through a. largo part
of Canada as well as in nearly every
important city in the country.
FUEIC.HT TOO SLOW.
"I always ride on passenger trains,"
he said in response (o an Inquiry.
"Freights are too slow. 1 generally
ride like I did today on the back step
of a vestibuled train so the trainmen
can't see me between stations."
He says that ho has lived by beg
ging from house to house or "hitting

"I'm going back homo now to my
