REV. M. TALMAGE,
THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUX
DAY SERMON.
Subject: "An Only Son "
Tftt t ,TNow whon ITo onme nlh to the
pftte of the city, behold there wti n tleHtl
man enrried out, the only son cf his mother,
arpi sh was a widow, an I rattoh peoplo of
the pit v was Tritli hfr. And when tho Lord
saw her rle had compassion on her and said
mto her, Wep not, and Ho camo and
touched the l.if-r, and thry that bore him
too 1 still. And H-. saitl, Young man, 1 say
ucto thw arise ! And ha that was lfa l sat
tip a" I iiopan to speak, aii'l He deliverel
liim to his mother." Luko vii., 12-15.
Tho text ca'ls us to stand at tho ftate ol
tho city of Xain. The street are a-rush with
buln-89 and jrayety, and tho ear is dna,frnei
with the hammers of merhanism and the
trh!la rf trnTi?. V-rU-, with Its thonsand
arms and thousand eyes and thousand feet,
fills ail thrt Blreet, when suddenly the crow 1
part?, and a funeral passes. Between the
wheels of work and pleasure there eorns a
lonp" proces!on of mournin? people. Who
is it? A triflT says ! "Oh. it's nothing but
a funeral. It may have pomi up from the
hospital ot the city, or the almshouse, or
f omo low place of the town," but not so, says
the aorious observer.
There are so rnny eviJences of dire be
reavement that wo know at tho first clanco
Bomo one has been taken away greatly bei
loved, nndto onr inquiry, "Who is this that
Js carried out with so many offices of kind
ness and affection?" the reply romes, "The
only son of his mother, and she a widow."
fttand back aid let the procession pass out I
Hush all the voices of mirth and pleasure !
Let every head be uncovered ! V eep with
this passim? procession aiid lot it be told
through all th Market places and bazaars
oi Naia thr.t in Galilee to-ilay the sepulcher
bath gathered to itself "the only sen of his
mother, and she a widow'
There are two or three things that, in my
mind, fjive special pathos to this seene-.
The first is, he was a you nir mail that vvas
belnij carried out. To'tlto aied death bo
comes beautiful The old m:m halts and
punts alottjj tho road, where once he bound
ed jRe the roe. Trom the midst of immedi
cable ailments and sorrows he cries out,
"How loner, I-f'?, howlont?!" Footsore
and har.ily bestead, on the hot journey, he
w!.nts to get home. Ha sits iu the church
and sings, with a tremulous voice, soma tune
he sans forty years !ko R&'l longs to join tho
'..otter asetnrlag.5 bf the one hundred and
forty find lour thousand who havo passetl
theilood. How eweetly he sleeps the last
feleep ! rush back the white locks from tho
wrinkled temples. They will never acho
again. Fold tho hands over tho still heart.
They will never toil again. Close gently tho
eyes. They will never weep again.
"But this man that 1 im speaking of was a
young man. He was just putting on the
armor of lire, and he was exulting to think
how his sturdy blows would ring out above
the clangor ot the battle. I suppose ho had
ri young man's hopes, a young man's ambi
tions and a young man's courage. Ho said :
'If I live many years, I will icedthe hungty
and clothe the naked. In this city of Nain,
where there are so many ba 1 young men, I
will bo sober and honest nnd pure and mag
nanimous, and my mother shall never bo
ashamed of me.'' But ah these prospacts
nre blasted in one hour. There ho passes
lifeless in tho procession, Behold all that is
left on earth of tho high hoartod young matt
of tho city of Nain.
There is another thing that adds very
much to this scene, ami that is ho was an
only son. However large tho family flock
may be, wo never couid think of sparing ono
or tho lambs. Though they may all havo
their faults, they all have their excellencies
that commend them to tho parental heart,
nnd if it were peremptorily deman lod of you
to-day that you should yield up one of your
children out of a very largo family you
would bo confounded and you could not
make a selection. But this was an onlyson,
around whom gathered all tho parental ex
pectations. How mU3h caro in his educa
tion ' How much caution iu Watching his
habits! He would carry down the name to
other times. He would have entire control
of the family property long after the parents
had gone to their last rewar 1. Ho would
stand in society a thinker, a worker, n phil
anthropist, a Christian. No, no. It is all
ended. Behold him there. Breath is gono,
Life is extinct. Tho only son of his mother.
There was one thing that added to the
p;;thos of this scene, audthat was his mother
was a widow. Tho main hope of that home
had been broken, anil now he was como up
to be the staff. Tho chief light oT tho house
hold has been extinguished, and this was
the only light left. I suppose she often said,
looking at him, "There are only two of 113."
O, it is a grand thing to 8"e a young man
stop out in life mil say to his mother;
"Don't be down hearted. I will, ns far as
possible, take father's place, and as long as
1 live you shall never want anything." It is
not always that way. Sometimes tho young
people set tired of tho old people. They
suv they are queer : that they have so many
ailments, and they so netimes wish them out
of the way. A young man and his wife sat
at the tahie, their little son on tho floor play
ing beneath the table. Tho old father was
very old. and his hand shook, so they said.
"You shall no more sit with us at thotable.'
And so they gave him a place in tho corner,
wpere, day by day, he ate out of an earthen
bowl everything put into that bowl. Ono
day his hand trembled so much ho dropped
it. and it broke, and the son, seated at tho
elegant tablo in midfloor, said to his wife.
"Now we'll get father a wooden bowl, and
that he can't break." So a wooieu bowl
was obtained, and every day old grand
father ate out of that, sitting in the corner.
One ?ay, while the r'.ogant young man and
his wite were seated at their table, with
enased silver and all the luxuries, and their
little son sat upon the floor, they Baw tho
lad whittling, and they said : "My son, what
nre vou doing there with that knife?"
"Oh," said he. "I I'm making a trough for
my lather and mother to eat out of when
they get old !"
But this young man of the text was not
of that character. He did not belong to that
school. I can tell it from the way they
mourned oer him. He was to be tho com
panion of his mother. He was to be his
mother's protector. He would return now
some of tho kindness he had received in the
days of childhood and boyhood. Aye, ho
would with his strong hand uphold that
lorm already enfeebled with age. Will he
do it? No. In ono hour that promise of
help and companionship is gone. There is
a world of auguish in tnat one short phrase,
"The only son of his mother, and sho a
witlow."
Now, my friends, it was upon this scene
that Christ broke. He came in without any
introduction. He stopped tho procession.
Ho had only two utterances to make the
one to the mourning mother, tho other to
the dead. H" cried out to tho mourning
cue, "Weep not,'' and then, touching tho
bier on which the son lay. He cried out,
"Young man. I say unto theo arise I" And
he that was dead sat up.
1 learn two or three things from this sub
ject, and first that Chirst was a man. You
see bow that sorrow played upon all the
chords of His heart. I think that we forgot
th;s too often. Christ was a. man more cer
tainly thau you are, for Ho was a perfect
man. No sailor ever slept in ship's ham
mock more soundly than Christ slept in that
boat on Gnnesaret. In every nerve and
muscle ami bone and fiber of His body, m
every emotion and affection of His heart, in
every action and decision of His mind Ho
was a man.
He looked off upon the sea just as you look,
off upon the waters. Ho went into Martha's
house just as you go into a cottage. Ha
breathed hard whea Ha was tired, just as
you do when you are exhausted. Ho felt
aftr sleeping out a night in tho storm just
like you do when you have been exposed to
a tempest. It was just as humiliating for
Him to beg bread as it would be for you to
become a pauper. He felt just as much in
sulted by being sold for thirty pieces of sil-
vei as you would if you were sold for tho
price of a dog. From tho crown of the head
to the sole of the foot He was a man. When
the thorns were twisted for H 13 brow, they
hurt Him just as much as they hurt your
brow if they were twisted for if. He took
nt on Him the nature of angels. He took
on Him the seed of Abraham. "Ecu Homo '"'
behold the man !
But X must also draw froa thu subject
that He was a God. Suppose that a man
should attempt to break up a funeral obsa
quy. He would be seized by the law, he
would be imprisoned, if he were not actually
slain by the mob before the officers could
secure him. If Christ had been a mere mor
tal, would He have a right to coaie ia upon
8'aeh a procession? Would He have suc
eee led In His interruption? He was more
than a man, lor when He cried out, "I say
unto thee, arise ! ' he that was dead sat up.
What excitement there must have been there
about ! Tho body had lain prostrate. It had
been mourned over with agonizing tears,
and yet now it begins to move in the shroud
and 10 be flushed with life, and at the com
mand of Christ ho rises up and looks into
the faces of tha astonishel spectators.
"h, this was the work of a Go 1 1 1
hear it in His voice ; I seo it in the fl tsh of
His eye ; I behold it in the snapping of
death's shackles ; I see It in the face of
the rising slilmberer ; I hear it in the out
cry of all those who were .spectators of the
Bcone. If, when I see my Lord JeSUs Christ
mourning with the bereaved, I put my hands
on His shoulders and say, "ily brother,"
now that I hear Him proclaim supernatural
deliverances, I look up into His face and
Say with Thomas, "My Lord .m l my Gol."
t)o you not think He was a God? A great
many people do not believe that, and they
compromise the matter, or they think they
compromise It. They say He was a very
goo l man, but no was not a Go J. That is
impossible. He w.w either God or a
wretch, end I will prove it. If a man pro
fesses to bo that which he is not, what is he?
Ho is a liafj an impostor; a hypocrite; Tnat
Is your unanimous verdict; Now( Christ
professed to be a Go.l. He said over an 1
over again He was a Go !j took the attributes
of a God and assumed the worts and offices
of a God. D.ire -ou now say He was not?
He was a GoJ, or He was a wretch. Choose
ye.
Do you think I cannot prove by this Bible
that He was a God? If you do not believe
this Bible, or course there is no need of my
talking to you. There is no common data
from which to start. Suppose yoU do be
lieve it. Then I can demonstrate that Ho
was divine; I can prove He was Creator,
John i.i 3, "All things were male by Him,
and without Him was not anything male
that was made." He was eternal, Revelation
xxii. 13, "lam Alpha and Omega, tho be
ginning add the end; the first and the last."
I can prove that H'i was omnipotent,
Hebrews i., 10, "The heavens are the work
of Thine hands." I cau prove He was
omniscient, John ii., 25, "lie knew wuat
was in man." Oh, yes, He is a Go 1. He
clcit tho sea. He upheaved tho crystalline
wails along wbicu the Israelites maraiiad.
Ho planted the mountaius. Ho raises up
governments and casts down thrones and
marches across nations an I across worlds
and across tho universe, eterual, omnipo
tent, unhinderedand unabashed. That hand
that was nailed to the cross holds the stars
in a leash of love. That head that droppe 1
on tho bosom in fainting and death shall
make the world quake at its nod, That voico
that groanod in tne last pang shall swear be
fore tho trembling world that time shall bo
no longer. Oh, do not insult the common
esnse of the race by telling u that this per
son was oniy a man in whoso presence tho
paralytic arm was thrust out well, and tho
devils crouched, and the loners dropped
their scales; and the tempests folded their
wings, and the boy's satchel of a few loaves
made a banquet for 5000. and the sad proces
sion of my text broke up in congratulation
and hosanna I
Again, I learn from this subject that Christ
was a sympatnizer, Mark yon, this was a
city funeral. Iu the country, when tho bell
tolls, they know all about it for five miles
around, and they know what was tho matter
with tho man, how old he wis and what
were his lust experieneos. They know with
What temporal prospects he has left his fam
ily. There is no haste, there is no indecency
in the obsequies. There is nothing done as
n mere matter of business. Even the chil
dren come out as the procession passes and
look sympathetic, and the tree shadows
stem to deepen, and the brooks waep in
sympathy as the procession goes by. But,
mark you, this that I am speaking of was a
city funeral . In great cities the cart jostles
the hearse, and there is mirth and gladness
and indifference as tho weeping procession
goes by. In this city of Nain it was a com
mon thing o have trouble and bereavement
and death. Christ saw it every day there.
Perhaps that very hour there were others be
ing carried out, but this frequency of troublo
did not harden Christ's heart at all. He
stepped right out, and He saw this mourner,
and He had compassion on her. and He said
"Weep not !"
Now I have to tell you. O bruised souls,
nnd there are many everywhere have you
ever looked over any great audience and no
ticed how many shadows of sorrow there
are? I come to all such and say, "Christ
meets you. and He has compassion on you,
nnd He says, 'Weep not.'" Perhaps with
some it is 'financial trouole. "Oj," you say,
"it is such a silly thing for a man to cry
over lost money !
Is it? Suppose j-ou had a large fortune.an I
all luxuries brought to your table, and your
wardrobe was lull, and your hom vas beau
tiful by music an.l sculpture and painting
and thronged by the elegant and educate I,
and then some round misfortune should
strike you in the face and trample your treas
ures and taunt your children lor their faded
dress and send you into commercial circles
an underling where once you waved a scepter
of gold, do you think you would cry then? I
think you would. But Christ comes and
meets ail such to-day. He sees all the straits
in which you havo been thrust. He observes
the sneer of that man who once was prou 1
to walk in your shadow and glad to get your
help. He sees the protested note, the un
canceled judgment, the foreclosed mortgage,
the heartbreaking exasperation, and He says
Weep not. I own the cattle on a thous-in I
hills. I will never let you starve. From My
hand tiie fowis of heaven peck all their food.
Aud will I let you starve? Never; no, My
child, never!"
Perhaps it may bo a living home troublo
that you cannot speak about to vour best
friend, it may be some domestic unaap
piness. It may be an evil suspicion. It may
be the) disgrace 'following in the footsteps oi
a son that is wayward, or a companion who
is cruel, or a father that will not do right,
and for years there may have been a vulture
striking its beak info the vitals of your soul,
and you sit there to-day feeling it is worse
than death. It is. It is worse than death.
And yet there is relief. Though the night
may be the blackest, though the voices of
hell may tell you to curso Go 1 and die, look
up and hear "the voice that accosted tha
woman of the text as it says, "Weep not."
Knrrh hath no sorrow
That heaven cannot cure.
I learn, again, from all this that Christ is
Ihe master of the grav-. Just outside the
gate of tho city Death and Christ measured
lances, and when the young man rose Death
dropped. Now we are sure of our resurrec
tion. Oh, what a scene it wis when that
young man came back ! The mother never
expected to hear him speak again. Sho
never thought that ho would kiss her again.
How tho tears started and how her heart
throbbed as she said, "Oil. ray son, my son,
mv son !" Aud that scene is going to be r -
peatel. It is going to bo repeated 10,000
times. These broken family circles have got
to come together. Theso extinguished
household lights have trot to be rekindled.
There will be a stir in tho family lot in tho
cemetery, and there will be a rush into life
at the command. "Young man, I say unto
thee arise '" As the child shakes off the dust
of the tomb and comes forth fresh anl fair
ud beautiful, and j-ou throw your arms
around it and press It to your hert. angot
to angel will repeat tho story of Nain, "He
delivered him to his mother." Did you no
tice that passage in tho text as I read it?
"He delivered him to his mother." Ob, ye
troubled souls ! Oh. ye who have lived to
see every prospect blasted, peeled, scattered,
consumed, wait a little! The seedtime of
tears will become tne wheat harvest. In a
clime cut of no wintry blast, under a sky
palled by no hurtling tempest and amid re
deemed ones that weep not, that part not,
that die not. friend will come to friend, and
kindred will join kindred, and the long pro
cession that marches the avenues of gold
will lift up their psilms as again and again it
is announced that the same one who came to
the relief of this woman of the text came to
the relief of many a maternal heart and re
peated the wonders of resurrection and de
livered him to his mother." Oh, that will
be the harrest of the world. Tjbt will bo
the coronation cf prinj-es. That vrill be rftp
subfctitu of eternity.

DYNAMITE FIRED A MILE
AND A HALF,
Where the Projectile, Which Weighed
Over Haifa Ton, Struck, an Acre
bf Water Kose Over a Hundred
Feet In the Air and Shook Sandy
Hook (N. J.) Trying Grounds.
A fifteen-inch, full-calibre projectile, con
taining 500 pouuds of nitro-gelatine, one of
the strongest o! explosives, an i weighing
11G0 pound3, wa3 fired 2403 yards, or about
one and a half miles to sea, from a pneu
matic gun at Sandy Hook, N. J. Tho
cap in the end of the projectilo had
been set to explode two seconds after the
Cartridge struck the water, anl ill that time
it was figured that the gigantic affair would
sink at last eighteen feet from the surface.
For a moment after a thin stream of spray
told the watchers at S indy Hook that the
projectile had struck the water therd was a
dead silence.
Then a low roar could bo heard, and a
second later the earth fairly trembled, as
the army experts an 1 the men who spent
nearly a million dollars in perfecting the
pneumatic- gun saw a full acre of water rise
in a solid column to a height estimated at
anywhere from one hundred to three
hundred teet, and then slowly fall
back again. For three minutes after the ex
plosion the air over the spot where the pro
jectile struck was filled with spray, and ten
minutes after the haze had disappeared the
water, for a half mile around, was one mass
of seething foam.
The, exoeriment was only one of five mada
before the members of tho Board of Ord
nance and of tne Board of Fortifl1ations of
the United States Army, but it was the most
Important one ; in fact, it was the mo-t im
portant experiment of its kind ever bifore
attemptod in this country, and the suec-ss
which attended it will probably result in
the acceptance by the United States Gov
ernment of tho three enormous pneumatio
guns now on Sandy Hook, which were con
tracted for by tho Government anl which
were built by the Pneumatic Gun and Tor
pedo Construction Company. No one elso
has ever dared to attempt to explode 500
poxin Is of dynamite, either from a gun or in
any other way. and thi3 experiment marks
the beginning of a new era in the history of
explosives.
Tho wonderful mechanism of the pneu
matio guns fairly delighted the scientific!
men. Only two of the three were used, but
both worked with wonderful precision. Tha
guns are worked entirely by electricity, and
ns the name implies the power to send tho
enormous projectiles is gained from com
pressed air. The guns and gun carriages
weigh together flfty-two tons and are set in
a depressed foundation. Beside tha
gun is a littlo stand on which
the man who works tho weapon
stands. By means of two cranks and a lever
he gains complete control of the enormous
ma?s of iron and steel, and with one twist of
one of the former can send the entiro gun,
carriage nnd all, noiselessly and smoothly
around a complete circle, in flfty-two sec
onds. Another crank will set the gun prop
. nu TrriiiiA a twist of tne lever
releases the compressed air and sends taa
projectile flying into space.
At Sandy Hook the havo engines con
stantly generating compressed air and
storing it in cellars under the guns. Pipes
connect With the storage cellars, and when
the lever is pulled as much compressed air
as it has previously been arranged to use is
liberated. It rushes into the cannon back of

QUIT LIFE TOGETHER.
De Marcus Killed Mrs. Fournier and
Then Himself.
In the most picturesque spot in New York
City's Central Park, the Ramble, just below
the flag bridge and within fifty feet of a
little inlet at the upper end of the lake,
Folieeman Flynn found, a few mornings ago.
the corpses of Julius de Marcus, twenty
three years old, and Juliette Fournier, seven
teen years old.
The girl was lying prone on the ground.
A great hole in her chest showed the man
ner of her death. The youth lay with
his face on her shoulder. He clutched a
revolver in his right hand, and two cham
bers of it were empty. There was a ragged
hole in his head near the right temple.
Lying beside them there were the girl's
corsets and chemise, carefully folded up,
and a neatly tied bundle of letters. A
bunch of flowers was stuck in a corner of a
bench near by,
Fh nn ran for his roundsman, and togetner
they" lifted the bodies up. On each dead
face there was a smile.
The girl was hardly a woman yet, although
she had been a wife more than a year. She
was a French girl, educated in Paris, and had
been In this country only a few years. She was
a little thing with a head of curly brown hair,
deep black eyes, a pretty face, and a slender
figure. She was the wife of her father's
brother. Henri. From the letters which
thev left it was evident that the two
young people had loved e'ieh other, had
decided that their love was hopeless, be
cause tho girl was already married,
and then deliberately set to work to
die together. From the position of the
bodies it is presumed that the man first shot
the girl in the left breast, and then, standing
by her prostrated body, sent a bullet into
his own temple, killing himself instantly
and falling across her body.
The young woman, as she lay upon the
stono floor at the Morgue, was pronounced
the most beautiful girl that had been there
in many a day. She was dressed in a dial
colored skirt with a white and red striped
silk bodice. A small toque, richly orna
mented with gold and silver lace, lay be
side her abundant hair. Sho had evidently
dressed with great care for the occasion.
She wore diamond eardrops and several
valuable rings.
De Marcus had been acquainted with her
for about six mouths, and was desperately
in love with her. She was a Christian, they
said, and her brother was an orthodox He
brew. De Marcus had in his pocket a clip
ping of Robert Ingersolt's letter, declaring
suicide not to be a sin.

AND OPERATIVES GO OUT.
They Resist Reduction In Waze ol
Cotton Manufacturers Five of
New Bedford's Twenty-seven
Mills Shut Down The I'nlon Pre
pared for a Long Fight.
A dispatch from New Bo Ifor.I. Mv., siy
The great textile strike the biggest of in
kin 1 whleh this city h. ever known anl
one of the largest In tho history of New
England Is oa in full force. The fac
tory lells rang as usul on tho morn
ing of tho starting of th strifc-.
At tho north en 1, whern aro tho Wamutta
and other great mills, only a dozn or fiftn
non-union weavers went to work. All tho
ret stayed out in prottt ,-i iast the reduc
tion of wages paste 1 lnt wek.
At tho south ent Treasurer William V.
newUn.l, of the Howl.iu !, tho New Ho 1 for-1
and Rotch Mills, asked tho hands to work
until 12 o'clock in order that ho might con
sult with the other manufacturers. Mr. How
Ian 1 Is noted for hi kin ily treatment or hU
employes an.l was known to be anxious to
avert a strike, an 1 most of tho help wore t
as usual until tho noon hour. Then thov
mills also close I.
More than 10,000 mill workers, clad in
their best and, for tho most part, with smil
ing, happy faces, thronged the streets aud
gave them a gala day aspect.
But it was not a holiday. Thero was
a buzz of anger when It became hinte 1
abroad that the small hanlful of non-union
workers were laboring In the Bristol mill. A
mob of a thous in 1 gathered atout th mill in
tho morning and yelled for an hour. At norn,
with forces augmento 1, they again surround
ed the mill aud attacked tho operatives
as they came out. Stones were thrown, an I
some of tho strikers iujure l each other, uao
worker had his nose broken by a stone, a
boy was ba lly oul in tho fae an I several
persons were roughly handled. Finally tho
police same and scattered tho mob.
Similar scenes were enacted at tho Ami
hurt mill, and there a girl was seriously cut
about the face by some thro wn missile.
How long this strike will last cannot now
bo predicted. Secretary Ross, of the Spin
ners' Union, expects that it will continue for
six months, an.l soino of tho manu.acturers
T . I.. .. 1.-....- fl.al.fr
declare themselves preparuu nr i.
Andrew G, Pierce, of tho Wansutt i nulls,
said that his mills would not bo govern" 1 by
tho action of Mr. Howland. whatever it may
be. His mills, ho declared, are now shut
down lor an indefinite perio 1, an 1 ho
thought that the other mills would take sim
ilar action.
On the other hand, a lea ling mill man. also
at the north end, thinks that the manufac
turers are already beaten, that the strike
was a big blun ler to follow tho Fall River
mills in reducing wages. This gentleman
thinks that the key of the situation is iu Mr.
Rowland's hands, and that opinion seems to
bo held by many others.
Mr. Rowland, as has been said, is always
strongly sympathetic toward his working
people, and he is particularly anxious now
to avert a fight. He sai l to- lay
"I have already conferred with a commit
tee ot the help and I propose to do so with
my fellow-manufacturers. When las -ertain
tho position of both then I shall decide w.mt
course to take. I can't afford to let the help
run my mills just to suit themselves, but 1
will grant all I can. If it comes to a sim
ple demand for a cut by tho mamitaetiireM
and for the old s.-hodnlo by the help I
shall waive the cut-lown and rur. my mills.
I can't afford to shut down and sever the
frieu .ily relation? with the liau Is. Our goods
havo a reputation, and wo have orders that
must bo filie 1. It I impose su -h con litlons
that tho men refuse to work my silent spin
dles won't make money for the stockhold
ers." "But how about over-production
"Well I agree that something must bo
done to re.dueetho cost of goo Is, but I am ot
a different mind from most manufacturers.
I look for better times iu the near future.
If curtailment is the renin ly l"t us curtail ;
but if reducing wages is going to bring
everything to a standstill it U pretty evident
that isn't tho proper course.
If a long fight is to come the spinners are,
in excellent shape for it. T.-.ey have .0,000
in the treasury and offers of K"Vrrlf? X"
sistance from the national un-on. Ino body
has rarely been worsted in a 11 -'lit.
Thousands of men and women gathered
about the gates of tho various mi Is, nut so
few entered tho works that, with the exc op
tion of tho plants mentioned, the m'
was not started. At tho City mill a groat
crowd gathered nnd tho po.ico wr.. sum
moned but their services were not rqu ro I.
h"ndf.ilof helpwnt into tho Wamsutta
mills but these operatives were sent out
again', and wero received with jeera and
laughter. , ..
The strikers aro objecting to a roiuTtton

operatives, and the cnange I scho lule aff
iu"Hve thousand weavers to only a slight
degree. Only five of tho twenty-seven mills
in the city aro open. The pay rolls of tho
mills aggregate $75,00,1 a week.
All the mills in Fall River, Mass., that

the strike in spite of the vote of the Weavers
Association to take a vacation But ac -ot-1-in"

Agriculture at Washington show that thero
has been a very heavy d-eliua in the potato

under which the country bus filtered this

On account of this depreciation It l prob
