A Servant Believed tn Have Poisoned the
Wife of n Man Whom She Loved.
RACINE. Wis, Dec. 2.-The attempt of
some person to kill Mrs. T. w. Burrett
by placing poison in her tea and coffee
Is surrounded by many sensational
facts. Mrs. Barrett is the woman who
created such widespread attention sew.
erai months ago by fasting for thirty
days for dyspepsia. Mrs. Burrett has
received anonymous letters of the
vilest character aud one of them
threatened her with death unless she
left the city.
1t seems that Bohemian servant girl
who had been employed III the family
for many years fell in love with Mr..
Burrett, although he never paid the
slightest attention TO her. The girl
went to O fortune teller some time ago
and was told that she would marry a
man who lived IN the same house with
her as soon az his first wife died, and
the girl evidently tried TO hasten the
time by administering poison to her
mistress.

MANUFACTURERS WHO ARE NOT
ROBBER BARONS.

1t is said that twenty-five of the cor
porations OF Fall River, Mass, repre-
senting u capital of $l4,410,O00, and
operating forty-six mills, paid in divid-
ends, during the year 1890 1926, $50, on
an average OF only 1.64 per cent. Ten
corporations operating eleven mills and
representing a capital of 81, sos 900, paid
no dividends at all. During the last
quarter, out of forty corporations at
Fall River, representing sixty- mills,
twenty-three, owning forty-two mills
have declared dividends averaging 13
per cent. Twelve corporations, operat
ing fifteen mills and representing cap
ital of $5.56S 900, have paid nothing on
their Investment and many Of them
have lost heavily. This discouraging
state of affairs is not attributed in any
degree to Il falling off in the export de-
mand. Our exports have shown an in
crease in both cotton and woolen manu-
factures, but with reduced home con-
sumption there has come an increased
production. 1t is said that ten new
woolen mills were started during the
first.week in June last, and this has oc-
CURED in spite of the present closing of
mills and the general immobility of
goods. Bradstreet's attributes the de-
preston of the New England cotton
mills to the sharp competition that has
arisen from the development of the new
mills in the South. These mills have
many permanent natural advantages
which can only be counterbalanced by
greater economies in production and
skill employed by New England manu-
facturers. They pay less for transporta-
ton on their materials, they are nearer
the coal fields and the cost of labor is
less. Hours of labor are longer, while
the Massachusetts mill owners are
threatened with an eight hour law, and
have been prevented, by state legisla-
ton, from tining their operatives for
careless and imperfect weaving. In view
of these facts it is hard to believe half
the stories we hear days about
robber barons and greedy cotton and
woolen manufacturing corporations who
pocket the tariff and otherwise rob the
people. The fact seems to be that COM
petition, in these industries has reduced
the profits of the manufacturer and the
cost to the consumer to a point below
which it seems impossible to go without
loss and bankruptcy. If there are rob-
Der barons, and we have not a doubt
there are plenty of them, they can
scarcely be said to be running cotton
and wooden mills in New England
