Surely if there are unhappy sufferers on

rheumatism and rheumatic and simple govt

since they all have q fatal tendency to attack

South windham Wooden Mill Operatives
Believe That 1t Would Have Most
Damaging Effect on Their Industry-A
Petition That Tariff smashers Should
Ponder.
The alarm which the industrial masses
of this country are feeling on account of
the pending Wilson tariff bill, has pene-
trated Maine, and there is general up
rising against that measure. The num-
Der of Maine mills that have shut down
already is much greater than is common
ly supposed, and the prospect is not
bright for their immediate starting up.
The wooden industry feels the situation
keenly. In the neighboring town of
South Windham, ono of these mills, the
Robinson, is located. 1t manufactures
very handsome broadcloth for ladies'
dresses and cloakings. In both the dve-
ing and the finishing the highest grade Of
labor is required. The operatives must
be men both of sobriety and Judgment
such as are worth not less than SIS a.
week and usually get more. Yet one of
the operatives in South Windham is au-
thority for the statement that in Brad
ford, England, the great wool manufac-
turing city. he was lucky to get pound
week. A dyer, be says, can save more
money week here than he can earn in
Bradford. Several others of the South
Windham laborers have worked in Eng
land and know what the English stand
ard means. They have now made their
homes here and are not anxious to see
them put onto the English basis.
The following petition has been circu-
lated among the South Windham en-
ployes and eagerly signed:
We. the undersigned employees Of the
Robinson Mills, request you in the most
earnest manner to vote against, and to
use your best influence to defeat. the
Wilson tariff bill.
If this bill should become a law. it
would have the most disastrous effect
upon the industry which gives us en-
ployment. Those among us who have
worked in Europe know that the prices
paid for labor in Europe are SO much
lower than the prices paid for the same
labor in this country, that if foreign
made goods were admitted to this coun-
try at such rate of duty as the Wilson
bill would give them, it would have the
effect Of either throwing us out of work
entirely, or else of cutting down our
wages to about the same rate as is paid
in Europe.
We desire to inform you that if we are
thus deprived of our means of earning
livelihood, or if we are obliged to work
for reduced wages, we will hold those
responsible who vote for the bill; and
we hereby assert most positively that
irrespective of former party affiliations,
we will vote and work against the cleo
ton of any member who will favor bill
that will cause such distress to the Ia

THE FoERSTEL DEFALCATloN,

A Decision in the Probate Court OF st.
Louis in Favor of the Ex-City Treasurer
Michael FGcstcl-Thc Suicide Son and
Assistant Treasurer Made the Scapegoat
of the Whole Affalr-Ihe Case Is Some-
what Complicated.
ST. LoUIs. March O.-Judgc Wocrner
rendered Il decision yesterday IN the
casc of Gus V. L. Mcchin, assignee of
Michael Focrstel, against the estate of
Edward Focr,tcl. The claimant ap-
piled to recover S64, lO2. ~, which was
secured by the city on Michael Foer-
stcl's bond as treasurer His bonds
men paid the amount, and Focr-
stel made an assignment. Then tho
claim against the estate of Edward
Focrstel was filed in the probate
court by Focrstel's assignee ON the
ground that Edward Foerstel was the
chief assistant of Michael Foerstel,
when the latter was city treasurer,
and was the only person who had ac-
cess to the books, vaults, etc, equal to
| the treasurer himself. When the de-
| falcation was discovered it was shown
| that Edward Foerstcl had been in the
/ Office during period of thirty-six
| hours after his father left and just
prcccc, r~ the time the deficit was dis
covered. The treasurer himself had
not been in the Office during that
period The point was made in the
claim and proven that previous to his
APPOINTMENT as assistant treasurer
Edward Foerstcl had no property worth
considering, and that during his in
cumbcncy was only paid II salary of S2,-
400 year yet at the time of his death
it was found that he had made invest
ments to the amount of $50, 600,
mostly in the names of other persons.
The proof was SO overwhelming that
the deficit in the treasury was caused
by Edward Focrstel that the claim
was allowed. This puts about S64, 900
more into the assets of the assigned es-
tate of Michael Focrstel, but just what
the claim win be worth is hard to tell
The bondsmcn who have to pay the
Judgment may recover something, but
it is hard to tell what the Edward
Foerstel estate is worth at the present
time.

IT is certainly great feather in the
cap of American railway managers to
be able to say that Notwithstanding
the greatly increased travel during the
Columbian 1898 the number of
deaths from accidents WAS ninety-ninc
less than in 1871. and 10 less than in
1890. Considering the number of extra
trains and the great speed Of through
trains the record is remarkable and
wholly credi.ablc TO the management
Of the railroads
