A strike of no less than 40, 900 cotton
hands is expected in the Ashton-undcr-
Lyme district, England, in consequence
OF demand for an increase of fifteen
per cent. in wages, which the employers
refuse to grant. It is not improbable
that if the strike occurs it will extend
through the entire cotton manufacturing
region. It is claimed tat au advance
OF wages is simple impossibility, as
manufacturers profits have been reduced
30 much by the high price of the raw
material and of conis. that some of the
more sagacious men in tho trade have
advocated temporary cessation Of pro-
dnctlon, as means of relief from the
present Improbable and even losing

A DISH WASHER BECOMES MILLION
A1RE.-A few days ago. and there was
dlsh-washer. named George Woodruff,
employed at the California Restaurant,
on Montgomery street-a dirty, greasy,
grimy cuss, with scarcely cent in his
pocket. or hope in the world-to-da he
is millionaire, six millionaire, in fact.
One day, while reading morning pa
per, his attention was attracted to an ad-
vertisement headed personal, stating
that one of his namo would find it to his
advantage to address certain party in
New York. The name was familiar to
him, and he concluded to answer the ad.
yertisement. He did 80, giving his ad-
dress, and in due time received letter
stating that his uncle had died in New
York. leaving property to the amount of
Sc. 100000, which the deceased had
willed to him. He was astonished, and
could hardly believe that the news was
confirmed. Upon its confirmation he
cast off his greasy clothes. and. forsak-
ing the sacred precincts of the kitchen,
he donned new raiment and departed
for his estate in New York, q richer if
not a better man. There is O now dish
washer at the California now, and he is
waiting for a rich and forgotten uncle to
die and give him n lift. He reads the
personal" with evidity every morning.
