' Children of the Odd Fallows
Some . - f .-
No one can afford to miss the con
cert that will be given at the opera
house here tonight by the class
from the Odd Fellows' Orphan Home
at Uoldsboro. Jt will be delightful
and entertaining throughout, and
those who sttend will not regret their
action. The concert will be given in
the opera house instead of the court
house, as was stated in this paper last
week, and aa has been advertised.
- This is ths first" year that a class

a record breaking house at the Y. M.

THAT T. M. O. A. FOB CONOOED
TSnrprtse Expressed That the. Proposl-
tioa to EsUblish One Hers His Met
I With 80 Small Response.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Dear Sir: To be paradoxical, I am
neartuy surprised, and yet I am not
surprised, at the seeming indifference
of the Concord people, and especially
of the young men in regard to my let
ter proposing tbe advisability of org
anizing and maintaining a Y. M. C.
JL, or a elub for the young men along
similar lines.
True, I have been approached by
one or two men who have assured me
of their interest, and willingness to
assist, but I certainly expected the
young men for whom this benefit was
proposed, would realize their possi
bilities "while the iron is hot'' and
work for themselves.
The club would not necessarily be
run on an elaborate scale; as I sug
gested in my last letter four rooms
would be quite sufficient, one of which
could be used as a gymnasium fitted
up with flying rings, parallel and
horizontal bars for "apparatus
work;" one or two good mats for
wrestling; and two or three sets of
boxing gloves; the other rooms fitted
for reading and game rooms, and a
shower bath room. It would not re
quire very much to equip the rooms,
and the only source of expense would
be the rental, lighting and heating of
same, which expense could be met
by the monthly fees.
That the young men, and especially
the boys of Concord need some stim-
1-1)8 for clean, 'honst manhood is
without question, and I am surprised
that an "outsider" should be elected
to perform the necessary duty for bet
tering affairs.
I hope to visit a great many of the
leading and professional men of the
city this week, and make some ar
rangements for a mass meeting to
consider the question.
As I sand beffroe, I am more than
surprised at the cold reception with
which such a proposition has been
met by the young men, and I sincere
ly hope this letter will convince them
that I am sincere in my intentions
for their welfare and am ready to
meet them half-way towards bringing
the proposition to a successful work
ing. I am rejoiced at being assured of
The Tribune's support; and am more
than glad to know that at least two
of The Tribune's staff are willing to
'start the ball rolling" with a sub
scription of $5.00 each, and personal
influence.
Sincerely thanking you for your
courtesy and kindness, I am
Very, truly yours,
FRANCIS H. BALL.

English Railway Men t Return to
Work at Once.
London, Aug. 19. A great -wave of
relief swept over tbe country tonieht
wnen snortiy alter 11 o'clock tbe an
nouncement was made from the board
of trade offices that the railway strike
had been settled snd that the men
would return to work immediately,
Telegrams were quickly dispatched
to all important railroad towns hear
ing tbe information and crossed in
transit messages to. London describ
ing sinicc nois in Ldaneuy and small
towns in the kingdom.
The Cabinet had been workine
night and day since tbe strike was
threatened to arrange a compromise
between the railway managers and
their employes. Most of the credit
for the ultimate success of their ef
forts appears to rest upon the shoul
ders of David Llovd-Oeorge, Chancel
lor of the Exchequer, who, in his
statements to Parliament and in in
terviews with the managers and the
men, worked for eonciliation when all
others of the interested parties seem
ed to have given it up.
bo far as technical advantage in
the compromise goes, it appears to
be in the men's favor, particularly as
the managers consent to meet their
representatives. The official state
ment concerning the agreement says
the managers consented to this
scheme in view of certain representa
tions made to them by tbe govern
ment, including a promise of legisla
tion to permit of increase in railroad
rates. The men claim victory for un
ionism on the point of recognition of
unions, which was one of the most
vital principles at stake.
Messages were sent to 1,800 branch
es of the labor unions tonight say
ing: "The joint committee has ettled
the strike. It is a' victory for trades
unionism. All men must return to
work immediately."
Barnum & Bailey's circus will show
