next general meeting, three weeks hence.
The regular allowance for this week will
be paid.
The shutdown of the mills today is
not attended by any excitement. The
operatives are accustomed TO shutdowns
because of strikes or depression in bust
ness and take them quietly. The streets
are crowded with idle mill people, but
they have more the appearance of people
on holiday than of people out Of work.
There Is general hope among the man
ufacturcrs as well as among the opera
tives that the shutdown will by the at
tendant curtailment improve the market,
and so render the reduction in wages un-
necessary when the mills finally start up
again.

MACON, Mo-, Aug. PA disastrous
accident occurred at the Kansas and Texas
mine, southwest of here yesterday. Hall
Mccarthy, miner, was instantly killed
and three others badly injured and their
recovery is very doubtful, by the fall of a
tremendous rock, which extended clear
across the two rooms in which the men
were working. 1t is alleged that the in
secure condition OF the rock had been
noticed and the men were directed to
place supports under it, but postponed it,
intending to do Il today.

THE ARABIAN NIGHTS.
How One OF the suitan's Wives Abolished .
Cruel Custom.

HOW One OF the Suitan's Wives Abolished q
Cruel Custom.
The Arabian Nights" or the ''Thou-
sand and One Nights, is q celebrated col
lection OF tales, long current In the east
and supposed to have been derived by the
Arabians from India through the medium
OF Persia. They were first introduced into
Europe In the beginning Of tho eighteenth
century by means of the TRANSLATION of
Antoine Galland, . distinguished French
| orientalist, which was hailed with univer-
sal delight and soon became one Of the
most popular works Of Europe.
The story which connects the tales of
the Thousand and One Nights" Is as fol-
lows: The Sultan Shahryar, exasperated
by the faithlessness Of his bride, made q
law that every one OF his future wives
should be put 10 death the morning after
marriage. At length one of them, Shahraz,
the generous daughter of the grand vizier,
tncceeded in abolishing the cruel custom.
BY the charm OF her stories the fair mar
rator induced the sultan 10 defer her ex-
ecution every day till the dawn of another
by breaking of in the middle Of an inter
esting tale which she had begun to relate.
The delight felt by Shahryar has been felt
by thousands more Of his own faith, and
the universal popularity OF the Arabian
Nights" Is eyinced by the numerous trans
lations I'm different European languages
which have appeared since the time of
Galland.
In general they aim merely to delight
the fancy, bat frequently display much
practical wisdom, with profound knowl-
edge Of human nature. They are doubly
interesting TO the European reader, be-
cause they place before him, in far more
striking light than travellers can do, all
the pecnliarities OF the eastern nations.
The Arabian Nights" does not rank as
one OF the classical works Of Arabic liter
ature, as they belong to comparatively
late period, though the exact date of their
composition lis not known. Mr.. Lane,
who resided FOR years at Cairo and who
has published translation OF these tales,
with numerous notes, Is of the opinion that
they took their present form some time

PRESENCE USELESS.
State Board Cannot Arbitrate-At.
tempt at Cancellation Useless.

BU We Associated Press
NEW BEDFORD, Aug. 2L-The strike
conference of last evening is the mair
topic OF discussion today. The general
feeling is that good has been accomplishe
by 1t, although substantial results may
not appear for some time.
The operatives speak very Indignantly
at the non-appearance of the mill mana
gers and say that they sent instead COR
poration lawayer who would only discuss
the matter in general and could not 20
into the details of the business.
The manufacturers, on the other hand,
say that they are content with Mr..
Crapo's presentment OF their case. 1t has
leaked out that it was their intention not
to be represented at the meeting at all.
The decision to be represented by Mr..
Crapo is said to have been arrived at as a
result OF an interview which Arbitrator
Warner had with Treasurer Andrew G
Peirce yesterday evening.
The members OF the State Board have
left the city with the exception OF Mr..
Warner, who is spending today in inter-
viewing the manufacturers.
As strike is now on here, the board
say that their authority is by statute linn
tied to conciliation. They cannot arbi-
trate until the employees go back to work.
The arbitrators do not believe that the
situation Is favorable TO an effort at
Cancellation now. Their present inten-
tion is to get all the information possible
from both sides and then watch develop
ments and when the right moment seems
to arrive eudeavor to effect a settlement.

given by G. G. Williams Of the Chemi-
cal National Bank of New York be-
fore the house committee on banking
and currency. On being questioned in
regard to his own bank be said It's capt.
tai was 100000, surplus s6,0OO,O0O, it
had an undivided profit of 100000.
Deposits $4,000, 900. dividends 100 per
cent. annually. One hundred dollar
shares sold for S4,SOO. In his address
he urged the withdrawal of legal tend
er notes and their funding in blocks of
$4,000. 900 at a time in bonds at 8 per
cent. interest which the holders. be al
lowed to deposit with the treasurer Of
the U. S. and receive therefor par value
in national bank notes. He suggested
the removing of the tax ON the circu-
lation Of national banks. For down.
right, unqualified gall, this man. who
is said to represent the prevailing
views Of the bankers, is the chief.
Think Of putting ajax deliberately Of
8 per cent. on our circulating medium
and making these sharks a present Of
it, and to further place in their hands
absolute control of the currency Of the
nation. He further suggests that all
silver notes be redeemed in silver bull
lion at its market value and these
again reissued in bonds and national
bank notes, thus throwing the vast
stores of silver in the vaults Of the
treasury on the market aud stamping
out its production and value entirely.
Mr.. Banker has shares of one hundred
dollars, their selling valuei IS four thou
sand and three hundred dollars each
that earn one hundred and fifty per
cent. per year. The silver miner has
mines that cost him from $1,000 Ia
100000 that are shut down because he
cannot make a profit in working them
for the reason these selfsame bankers
don't want his kind of money, and by
bribery, corruption and intimidation
have prevailed on the government t.
destroy the interests of millions Of
miners, millions of farmers, millions o.
laborers and millions of artisans
which said miners, farmers. laborers
and artisans have not sense enough
to protect themselves by nominatiD,
and eleetlng men to represent then
and their interests, but biennial,
place men in congress to further tn
interests of these poor and need,
bankers. Verify, it seems as if self
government was a complete failure.
