LABOR ITEMS.

The Bridgeport Moulders-Tenement House Cigars.
 BRIDGEPORT, April 2.-Of the moulders at the Eaton, Cole & Burnham factory, who re- fused to work yesterday morning, number went in to-day and took their places, set clement having been effected. Among those who resumed operations were the unskilled laborers, the demand for the advance of whose pay first caused the brief strike. The rest of the hands, it is expected, will resume work tomorrow.
 A committee of the Cigarmakers' Interna- tional union arrived here this week from New York to confer with the union of this city respecting the sale of tenement house cigars. It was finally arranged that the latter organi- zation should see dealers who sell them and request discontinuance. Yesterday small handbills were scattered all over town, warn ing workingmen not to buy cigars unless they bear the C.. N. I. U. label. All the firms here which sell the tenement house cigars will probably cease such action it is said.

mADR1D,s SOCIAL LIFE.
The Last in the Mechanics Course (
 Lectures by Prof. Knapp.

The Last in the Mechanics Course of
 Lectures-Lecture by Prof. Knapp.
 The last of the lectures in the Mechanics
 course, and without doubt the most interest ing was delivered last evening by Professor Knapp: subject, ''Social Life in Madrid" The course as a whole has been excellent and we'll attended The audience last night was unusually large and was exceedingly atten- l tive, and when nine o'clock sounded the lec- turer hesitated, but was compelled to go on by the loud and continued applause. Pro- lessor Knapp began by saying that our ideas l of Spain and it's people are derived for the great part from Spanish America and from | the works of writers who use the Spanish l only as fit subjects for ridicule. The lectur- CT continued: "But while acknowledging their peculiarities we should remember that | they are the remnants of past age, and | that the glory of Roman civilization has left ! in Spain it's only monument. Spain is | preserved as the arehive of poetry | and romance. When seated in our railway compartment we approach Madrid there are no signs of city until we within it. On leaving the train are confronted by a most terrible conglomeration of wretched hu- l manity who expose their ailments and de- | mana BY all tue SalutS b1db Wo SuOulo SiSo | aid The native Spaniard passes them by
 courageously, but the foreigner is their le- l gitimate prey Begging is thus seen to be ! the principal industry of Spain.
 Proceeding from the station we soon reach l the central square of the city, which is the place of congregation and idleness. The gen. ! eral rule for the middle classes is to live in flats of which the third floor is the best. No one living in one of these flats knows any
 one else in the house, although they politely
 salute one another in passing. The better | class of the people are conservative in ad- ! hitting foreigners to their homes, but when | once acquainted none could be more social. On entering the drawing room ladies do not l rise, which custom is somewhat embarrass- | ing to stranger. There is no introduction l when gentlemen meet while calling and ! such an acquaintance does not exist after leaving the room. Both gentlemen and
 ladies call each other by their given names, prefxing Don or Donna as the case may be. One of the most interesting occurrences is the vivid production of the Passion Play" The lecturer closed by giving most enter | taining description of the Spanish bull fight.

Margaret Mather will appear as 'sJuliet" in "Romeo and Juliet" supported by her we'll known company. An exchange says: Miss Mather's acting, from the opening scene to the close, was replete with the evidences of the development of her genius since her last wis., it to Providence. There was a grace and delicacy in her impersonation of the charac- ter, coupled with wonderful tragic power, that exceeded anything before seen in her performances in this city, and which fur nished the all-suficient explanation of her memorable triumph in New York, during the present season, from which she comes fresh to Providence.
