Another Strike Threatened.

BOSTON, March 17.-For some time girls have been employed in the finishing depart- ment of the Waltham Watch company's at Waltham. They have proved so incompe- tent that men have been obliged to go over their work after them. The men who form erly did this work held meeting Friday night, sending notice to the company that unless they received written notice that this work should be taken from the girls there would be a general strike Monday night. The superintendent endeavored to pacify them by promising to right their grievance but they insisted upon a written agreement from headquarters. The present foreman of the finishing department is generally disliked by reason of his cutting wages immediately mon assuming charge.

This remarkable comic opera has made it. self more popular with the public than any WUEk oA KcCeut yCaAs PAoO0SeAoh' AIo AAAoSAo is heard on every hand and the merry sayings of Cadeaux have become familiar even where the piece has never been presented. The greatest charms of "Erminie" lie in the ex- treme simplicity of it's story and the popular vein of its airs. As presented by MT. Aron- sons company it begets peculiar charm, foI the performance is thoroughly satisfactory throughout. The organization stands | out in artistic relief as the most capable one before the public. Few managers have had ! their professional pathway strewn with SC ! many laurels as MT. Rudolph Aronsen. The phenomenal run attained by "Erminie" has | been perhaps a source of great surprise tc him, but it at least proved his conviction | that "Erminie" would be the greatest oper. atic success seen in America for many years ! The final representations of this opera will be given at the New Haven Opera House Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee | of this week. Seats are now on sale at the box office of the opera house.

MISS LUCIA KImBALL

Addresses a Large Audience At Da- venport Church-At Calvary Baptist
 Church-Traintng the Young.
 Miss Lucia Kimball, superintendent of the National Womens Christian Temperance union, addressed large congregation at the Davenport Congregational church last even ing on the subject of intemperance. Her principal point was that the children should be educated to shun the liquid tempter for that is the only way to put stop to intem- perance. She thought temperance lessons should be taught moro in Sunday schools than they now are, and that instead of only talking about the matter some positive steps should be taken to carry out the prin- cipal of temperance among children. This could be done in part by their signing 8 to- tai abstinence pledge. The speaker has pledge cards, which she is distributing among the different Sunday schools. She said that seven out of every eight children who signed them kept their pledge.
 MASS SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING.
 A general meeting of Sunday schools was addressed by Miss Kimball at the Calvary Baptist church yesterday afternoon. Miss Kimball is a pleasing talker and chose the combat of David with the giant Goliath as subject for simile, Hkening intemperance to the terrible giant who strides up and down the land, bringing sorrow and misfortune to all in it's power. She told the little ones many stories of the sad results which follow fre- quent and incorporate use of alcoholic drinks and burned 8 little bit of alcohol that the children might see how different it was from water although the two look nearly alike. Don't be influenced to bad ways because people tell you that you are afraid, she said. "He who is bravest and most man is the one that is not afraid to be told that he is afraid" She told her hearers to always think of the heroism of Daniel and David when strongly tempted to an evil deed. Miss Kimball interested the children very much with her remarks and stories.

THE wEAvERs, STRIKE.

Manufacturers Arc Locking For
 Weakness, Hut the Strikers Assert
 Their Strong Determination.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, March 1s.-The first week of the weavers' strike closes without any appreciable change in the situation, and
 the question now settles down to one of en-
 durance. Manufacturers still express conf
 dence that the strikers will begin to show
 signs of weakness by Tuesday or Wednes-
 day. The strikers themselves deny this
 claim and assert that they are as united as
 ever, and that the mass meeting Tuesday
 morning will be the biggest of the strike.
 Many weAvers assert that they will stay out
 six months rather than go back without an advance, and the executive committee are arranging to send out collectors to raise funds to support the needy. To-day'f meeting was unanimous in favor of staying out and making determined struggle. One point that the operatives are likely to gain on account of the strike is general holiday on Monday. When the St. Patriok's day committee asked the board of trade to shut down the mills Monday they were refused but tonight nearly all the mills notified the help, who were at work, that they would not start up till Tuesday morning and sever al announced that they would not start ur to return to work.
 FALL RIVER. March 17.-There is nc change in the situation of the strike to-day Nearly every mill will be entirely shut dowr tomorrow, as many operators desire to par ticipate in the St. Patrick's day celebration Most of the mills will resume again Tuesday | morning, although some will not start uE | until the weavers are ready to return to work
 It is expected that Tuesday will be the mos | critical day of the strike. If the weavers car | hold together that day and show no signs O | weakening the struggle is likely to be pro ! longed.

Phelix Clark Calmly Takes Poison,
 Sits Down and Peacefully Joins the
 Majority.
 NORTH ADAMS, Mass, March 17.-The sui eide last night of Phelix Clark, aged twenty eight, residing at No. 13 Eagle street, was the most deliberately planned and executed of any occurring in this vicinity for years past. Clark went home about five o'clock appearing as usual. He was seen to take a powder in water, rinse out the tumbler clean, throw the paper in the fire, sit down in the front room and go to sleep. As he was in the habit of doing all this it was only when his sister noticed his features were turning blue that suspicion crossed her mind that there was something wrong. When she touched her brother to arouse him he fell to the floor. When physicians reached the house the drug had done it's work and they were not able to arouse him. He died dur ing the night. About five years ago while employed by the New Haven and Northamp- ton railroad Clark was run over in the yard here and lost his right arm. This, with the fact that the road would never compensate him, although he was discharging his duties was probably the result of insanity. The drug is supposed to have been morphine.
 Unlawful Opium Traffic.
 PORT TOWNSEND, W. T., March 1.-The steamer Walla Walla of San Francisco, Cal. plying to Puget Sound, was seized by cus- toms officers for emitting proper entries of freight on inward manifest. She carried four barrels supposed to contain saurkraut which were taken through to Tacoma with out proper entry on the customs record. The freight list at Tacoma indicated that the barrels came from San Francisco, consigned to Ellenburg. Shortly afterward the bar rels were seized by customs officers and found to contain opium valued at nearly $10, 1000.
 The barrels were put on board the steamer at Victoria and secretly taken through to Tacoma. The penalty for false entry is $1 900. The steamer was en route to Van- cover when she was seized. Last evening her officers furnished $5. 900 bail for appear ance Monday for trial. The officers claim they can prove conspiracy and will cause the steamer deal of trouble for bringing opium into the country. The ship officers disclaim all knowledge of the ship ment of the barrels. The Tacoma customs officers worked the case up and think that many hundred thousand dollars worth of opium has been smuggled in this manner.
