STRIKE THREATENED.
New Bedford is Excited by the Action OF
Fall River.

New Bedford is Excited by the Action OF
Fall River.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. "a. Intense
excitement prevails In localstextile centers
over the threatened reduction Of wages by
khs manufacturers of Fall River. Since
the news was printed yesterday 1t has been
the sole topic Of conversation among the
operatives, and loud derunciations are
heard ON all hands. The spinners here
say they will resent to the bitter end any
attempt of the local corporations to en-
force a reduction anywhere near the
amount determined ON at Mondays ses-
kion of Fall River mill men. A reduction
of wages In Fail River will mean q reduc-
ton OF wages In New Bedford. a. 1t has
always been so. The local labor unions
are taking action In the matter, and no
branch Of industry will submit peace
fully to q reduction.
Secretary Samuel Ross of the Spinners'
union was interviewed on the subject and
stated in his opinion such q course would
not have the slightest tendency In right
Jog the existing difficulty. He thought
that itt~t ~
Such q Course would Be Hasty.
Mr.. Ross further said: "No sooner do In
dications point to a depression in the
cotton market than mill mon meet In
council and talk reductions. but when the
market booms and large profits are being
realized from sales not word Is men,
toned about increasing wages The only
real remedy for such crisis as this Is to
suspend operations, course satisfactory
TO all concerned"
It is the prevailing opinion that the
epinners In both this city and Fall River
will strike rather than submit to the pro-
posed reduction. The weekly textile pay
roll Of this city is $4,000 The enforce.
ment of 90 per cent reduction would re-
duce IL $4,000.
Secretary Ross has received information
that notice of 10 per cent reduction In
wages has been posted in tho mills at Sal
mon Falls, N. H.. and spinners feel like
resisting It's enforcement, and have sent
for Secretary Ross to hasten to the scene.
Secretary Ross has issued q call for the
national spinners executive committee to
meet in Boston Monday, at which time
the situation Of the Salmon Falls spinners
and also those of other sections where re-
ductions are threatened will be acted upon.

the warpath against the sale of liquors,
which Is being sold through the kitchen

was sold, but the members refused to do
that. A committee of the league then
showed the selectmen a presumed list Of

men that own places where liquor is sold,
letting them to tenants who are among
the suspected Kitchen barroom keepers.

have suspected that gambling is carried

CAUGHT in THE ACT.
"A Boston Clerk who 10 Charged with
Stealing About $4,000.


BOSTON, Aug. 23.--A clerk in whom the
utmost confidence has been placed for IA
years by his employer, Patrick Canny.
wholesale grocer Of Hanover street, is ac-
cused Of stealing sl10 from his employer.
1t Is also claimed that sums of money
have been missed from this establishment
at various times for years past. and he is
also accused Of taking this money.
Some time ago Mr.. Canny began to be-
1ieve that he was being systematically
robbed, and decided to consult the police.
Inspector Cogan was detailed to investi-
gate the case. Yesterday the inspector
was IN q room In the store from which, he
claims, he could see what was going on In
the main part Of the store, and he saw the
clerk, whose name IL Herman, go to the
safe, place In the lock a key, which he
took from his pocket, open the safe and
take out the money. It was then that he
was placed under arrest.
Cahpy alleges that during the past 10
years 5000 has been stolen from him, but
HERMAN denies that :he ever stole such an
amount. 1t is stated that when the man
was arrested, besides the Clio that he took
from the safe, there was found upon him
key which fitted the safe, and which. it
is supposed, he had made from wax i'm
preston Of the lock; also three skeleton
keys. Herman is q German, 3s years old.

reproduced, says that this engraving shows
that to the camera things are not always
what they seem, and that by taking advan-
tage OF the laws Of optics the camera may
be made to confirm the most improbable
stories Of fsportsmen, who from the days of
Nimrod have been noted for the freedom
with which they adjust actual facts and
achieved results to their ideal conceptions
Of what should have occurred.
The illustration is copied from an actual
photograph, and is apparently a conclusive
proof Of the luck or skill of the two hunt
ers In capturing an enormous animal some
what resembling a rabbit. The animal
was really a rabbit of ordinary size, but In
arranging the group it was suspended by q
fine thread In such position that it ap-
peared TO be suspended from the pole on
the shoulders Of the men, but in fact was
several feet nearer the camera, it's actual
size being thus magnified out Of all proper
tion TO that Of its captors.
The Journal quoted suggests, as simpler
modification Of this principle, to photograph
a fish or an animal in the same picture with
q two foot rule or 10 foot pole. BY placing
the animal nearer the camera IL may be en-
larged to any desired size. A little care in
arranging the group Is necessary to obtain
good results. and a lens with considerable
depth of focus and very small stop must
be used, but the amusing and mysterious
photographs thus secured will well repay
the trouble.

The Earth as an Electrical Conductor.

1ho h@dEth no IN hAeCtEtcut NOuuuctOTs
Steinhili, at Munich in 1887, was the first
to discover that the earth might be used
instead of a return wire, contact being
made to the earth at the two ends by means
of metal plates sunk in the ground. The
earth is almost universally used as the re-
turn circuit in telephone and telegraph
lines. While 1t is true that In the former
q complete metallic circuit is sometimes
found, it is not on account of the failure Of
the earth to conduct the current, but for the
purpose Of diminishing the induction
caused by the presence of electric light and
power circuits.
The earth plates are made of zinc or
copper and are sunk in the moist earth, in
a spring or in the bed of a river. 1t has
been generally considered that the earth
offers no resistance at all as its cross section
is so large, although its specific resistance
may be very high. The element of danger
to life and property forbids its use as re-
turn In commercial lighting and motor cir

Without Cause.

An accident occurred on the
Great Northern on the 9TH instant
and as result of which Conductor
J. II. Gallagher and Engineer Chas.
Hart were dismissed from the SER
vice of the road. A more unjust
act by a division superintendent
has never came under our notice
than was the letting out of these
two men, as will be seen from the
following facts:
Train No. Is west bound was
coming up the hill drawn by engine
5O4, Allen engineer, and was being
pushed by engine No. 1873, Hart en-
gineer, and ]. III. Gallagher con-
ductor. At Kalispell Gallagher got
orders to look out for special follow
ing and let them pass. Train is
was running about eight miles an
hour and when coming round a
sharp curve the special running
about thirty-six miles an hour ran
into the rear of 16 totally demolish-
ing both pilots. Train No. Is was
regular running on schedual time
and had the right of way under the
orders received. The entire fault of
the matter lay with Division Supt.
Ryan who had blundered in COM
polling the engineer of the special
to run his engine at a greater rate
of speed than was justified by the
position of the regular train. Sew
eral of the officials were on the spec
ial and Ryan evidently thought he
must throw the blame from himself
and consequently put it on Gal
lagher and Hart, who were no more
at fault than was some one in
China.
Both Gallagher and Hart are
careful and competent men, thor
oughly posted in their respective
branches Of railroad work and the
matter has caused no little COM
ment among the conductors and en-
gineers on the road. 1t is quite
probable the matter will be brought
to the attention Of the higher offic-
ials of the read where just dispo-
sition of the matter will be made.

A Biz Fire.

What was left of the once bustl-
ing town of Kootenai was entirely
destroyed by fire on Thursday last.
The fire started on the north side
of the town among the camps of
tiemakers who have been working
there for some time past. Though
there were many buildings there
but few of them were occupied,
nearly all having been abandoned
over a year ago. General and Mrs.
Kaiser, who had been there to look
after their building, left just as the
fire reached the houses on the
north side of the town.

Reform Needed.

1t is not easy to understand why
trivial cases in our justices courts
should occupy so much time. 1t
la common thing for such cases
to be spun out for three and four
days. Unless a reform is instituted
these inferior tribunals are apt to
loose much of their usefulness.
The reform needed is a more direct
and quicker dispatch of business.
This cannot be accomplished while
attorneys are allowed to twaddle by
the hour about technicalities. The
way things are run nowadays
'nine-tenChs of the time is taken up
by displays Of eloquence by the at
torneys and the balance of the time
is used to find out something about
the case. This is a poor way of
dealing out justice.

Wrong as Usual.

According to the time honored
habit the Graphic is wrong when it
says the U. S. attorney has been
told "to commence suit against
white trespassers on Indian lands
at Dayton creek, on the Flathead
reservation"
The lands referred to are in
cluded in township %, range 81,
and are not on the Flathead reser-
walton. This whole matter was ex-
planned in the Herald Journal some
weeks since. The land in disguise
is north of the reservation line and
outside of the reservation, and the
Graphic will only prejudice the
cases of settlers who have made
valuable Improvements and who
are patrons of Kalispell by giving
publicity to the effect that they are
trespassing on the reservation.
When township 25 was surveyed a
number of Indians from the reser-
walton claimed allotments in it and
in some cases their lines conhicted
with those of white settlers. 1t is
to remedy these conflicts that the
suits are brought. if they are
brought at all, the only authority
for the information being in a little
squib which appeared in the Helena
Indepenpent some days ago. Town
ship 25 has been withdrawn from
settlement until these allotment
questions are settled.-Herald-
