LABOR TROUBLES IN FALL RIVER.
The Mill Employees Have Three Propo-
sitions to Consider.

FAN River, Mass, August 12.-Tomorrow
evening the representatives of all trades
unlors VIII meet to talk over the situation
and consider three propositions. One to
accept tlVe per cent reduction with
curtalIment of four days running time per
week; second, the voluntary vacation of
three weeks from August goth; third to
accept reduction proposed by the manu-
facturers, with the ndeIstanding return
Will be made at the first favorable oppor-
tunity. The weavers would much prefe +
the hrst proposition, but the manufacturers
say there is no possibility of agreeing to
any form of curtailment, as far as they are
concerned. The spinners seem to prefer the
last proposition on the ground they ca get
nothing by striking while the markets are
in tie present low condition. Several man
ufacturers are of the opinion il The Fall
River operatives work along on the reduced
rates s.5 !, OF wages, the mills in other pla eesS

Turks at the Holy se1pu1cher.

One OF the most incongruous sights at
the holy sepuloher is the Turkish divan
just inside the entrance, on which couple
OF Moslems recline, gazing with apparent
indifference at the devout pilgrims who
pass through the gate, but really scruti-
nizing them with view to soliciting back
sheesh. These men may be styled the
Jailers of Chfistendom, for they possess
the right of opening and closing the Basil
lea. This privilege has been hereditary
in two families for centuries To one of
them belongs the right of keeping the key
OF the gate and to the other one the priv
lege of opening it. When any one Of the
three communities living inside the Basil
lea desires the gate to be opened, serv-
ant is signaled to call the representatives
of the two families After long delay
because an oriental is never in hurry
except when he wants fayor-the two
men appear. The gate can be unlocked
only in the presence Of the two, the old
regulations prescribing the attendance Of
both, as the one holding the key is not al
lowed to open the gate, and vice versa
After having performed their duty they
repair to the diyan and proceed to light
the nargileh and fan the brazier upon
which they make their coffee. Charcoal
and coffeo have to be furnished them by
the fathers, besides stipend of money,
the price Of all reaching about 81 for each
opening. The gate only remains open I'm
til about II O'Clock in the forenoon. On
festivals, when any of the patriarchs make
their solemn entrance, both wings of tho
gate are thrown open, and the price of
this ranges from St to $40, consuls and
other distinguished visitors being expected

barn contained wood for the cottages
and a large trunk which Mr.. French
tried to save, but burned his head and
gave it up. Insured with Prentiss Lor-

Charles Unwittingly Betrayed.
At Berkeley's castle in 1899 there was q

felt himself in great danger there, fearing

him, and he wanted to escape.
He was very unfortunate man about
his secrets, for they were always found
out. He did not intend to let any one
know when he left Hampton. 1t was
twilight, and he had planned to go quietly
out of the garden through a part of it
called Paradise, which was planted thick
ly with trees, SO that it was too shadowy
at dark for any one to be seen distinctly.
He could not take his favorite dog with
him, and as soon as he was gone the dog
began crying in the most pitiful way.
Some of the attendants came quickly to
see what had happened and found out the
kings secret.
Poor king, he Had the same ill luck
when he was brought back to his trial and
death. In going through Newburg forest,
in which he had hunted SO often that he
knew every nook and corner, it was

borne on the rolls, in addition to 1911
widows, making in all 1926. The Indian
War pensioners are evenly divided between
the survivors and the widows, the total
number being 6.170. Inasmuch as 3,431 of
the Mexican War pensioners ave had their
pensions increased to $12 q month, there
remains 10,204 survivors who are still
receiving the minimum rate of $8. The
additional amount required per annum will
be $48 in each case, or q total for the

HOBOKEN LAGER.
Its Sale by Hoboken GroceTs
Objected to by the Gin
Mill Keepers.
LOST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR
An Appeal to Be Made to the
Common Couneil-What
They Expect.
LOST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS 4 YEAR

A meeting is being held this afternoon at
the Assembly Rooms, Hudson street, Ho-
boken, of the Hoboken Liquor Dealers
Association, and action is to be taken upon
the practice of certain Hoboken grocers of
selling liquor in their stores without a
license.
The association contends that the grocers
have no right to sell liquor, and that they
cannot even obtain a license for it. Grocers,
they argue, must confine their sales TO goods
made for their business. Liquor cannot, ac-
cording to the association, be sold over the
same counter with groceries. Almost every
grocer in Hoboken i~nfringes upon this law,
the association claims. The member de-
clare the Legislature passed an act years ago
prohibiting q grocer from handling any sort
of liquor. The grocers in many instances DIS
agree, and some of them who have applied
to the Common Council and Mayor for
licenses have had no difficulty in securing
them. As the association claims to be IN
ahe right they entertain a very strong idea
that the Hoboken grocers must accede to
their demands made upon them.
JULIUS SCHLATTER EXPLAINS.
The secretary of the association, Julius
fschlatter, in conversation with a reporter OF
this paper yesterday, said that the Hoboken
grocers are making too much money out
ct selling liquor. They have no right what
ever to sell it, be said. II know
some who have got licenses, but these really
have no value. The Council should study
up the law and find that it has no.authority
to issue a license to a grocer. This is not
mere child's talk, but the society intends
making an issue of it. The matter will be
brought before the Council, and they must
order an investigation of it. II they do
not we shall call the attention of the Grand
Jury to the negligence OF the Council. OF
course, this is only to protect our
selling beer by the case. and
whisEey by the barrel, taking money right
out of our pockets-money that should not
90 to them. They deliver it themselves to
peoples homes and some of them move an
extensive trade in that line.
AN ENCOURAGEMENT,
ut is nothing more or less than an en-
croachment upon our business. The licensed
INSPECTOR should nave seen that grocers were
not allowed to sell liquor. When he does
not attend to it he is not doing his business.
We mean business about this, and intend TO
fight it.n
