The Good Roads Movement.

New Jersey shows more fruits of tn, impulse for better roads than otheI states, though probably no state in tn, north at least has wholly escaped tn, influence of this movement. The gr.at and growing army of wheelmen are al. ways Jealous and active agents for i'm proved roads, and though their interest may be personal the whole public bene fits by their labOrs The farmers ana market gardeners have the greatest an6 most immediate interest in good roads. Their loss through bad roads is esti. mated at s7. GOO. 900 year in the coun. try. In q general way they realize thi. in part. but are not sufficiently convinc, ed to be willing to run the risk of hay ing their taxes increased This is the great bugbear of the farmers, and the good roads movement will not secure their approval except by some of the plans which secure the roads withor, adding appreciably to the annual taxe of the farming class-Philadelphi Press

 with 100 looms and then shut down en-
 tirely.
 The Fall River iron works have not re- duced wages and are running with a full force. Tho Laurel Lake and Robeson mills arc running everything except their looms.
 It Is reported that the Globe yarn mills will not reduce wages. It Is the general belief here that the weavcrs' vacation will

 Do forced to shut down or that the yaca- ton will end in a week.
 The executive committee of the Spin ners' association held n very exciting meeting. The spinnors in the yarn mills in particular feel that the manufacturers arc not keeping faith with them. Though no definite agreement was made, the spin ners in thoso mills understood that no change was to be made in their wages until the outcome of the spinners' strike in New Bedford was known. Now 1t is proposed to reduce, though not the full To per cent
 A strong sentiment was shown in favor  of striking. Delegations wero present from each mill or corporation, and each delegation had a spokesman, who rccited the grievances in their respective mills.
 The spinners assert that there is m un- derstanding among the yarn manufactur- CTS to cut to rate equal to the wages to Do paid by the New Bedford mills that made concessions Monday.
 A regular meeting of tho executive COmmitteo will bo held fnnfUht and n special general meeting has been voted for next Monday night It was the opin- ion of the committee that the action ac- cepting the reduction will Dc rcconsidercd at the meeting Monday night.

Highways by water exist by force of the natural right which every citizen possesses of free passage along all water courses not of artifical construction. Upon land they are creat- ed either by express dedication of the owner, by prescription or in pursuance of legislative authority. Dedication is an act by which the owner of the fee gives to the public for some proper pur- pose au easement ill his lands. It must be made by the owner or proprietor and be to the public in general No particu- lar K,rIn it's required, clear intent be- ing all that is necessary, with accept ance by the public, which is usually proved by public use and enjoyment
 Prescription is where a man claims anything because he his ancestors or TT' t:'CC>surs '.r they whose estate he hath have lad CT used it all the time whereof no Ini-lnOry is to the contrary. ' \ road b,coI:l,s q public highway by prescription, by 3n open and adverse use for 20 years on tine suppoSition that a dedication had at some time been made
 Highways are laid out, altered, dis continued and kept in repair by officers known as commissioners of highways. They describe and cause to be recorded in the town clerks office all the high ways ill their respective towns, divide all highways into districts and appoint overseers of the same. They expend all moneys raised and collected from the town at large for highway purposes, upon the roads and bridges within their territory and have power to enter upon the lands of any person adjoining any of the rivers. streams or creeks of the state, drive spiles, throw up embank- ments and perform such other labor as rlay be necessary They report annually to the town board.
 The work upon highways is usually performed by the residents of each road district, male inhabitants between the ages of 2l and 70 years, with some ex- captions, being each required to work or pay for one day, all property owners being assessed highway labor according to the valuation of their respective hold lrGS. Among the duties of the overseers arr the following: To repair and keep ill order the highways within the district: to cause the nOxious weeds within the bounds of tine highway within his dis tTict to be cut down or destroyed twice in each year; to cause all loose stones ly- ing on the beaten track of every high way within the district to be removed once ill every month from the first day of April until the first day of December; to execute all lawful orders of the com missiOncrs.

 NEW BEDFORD. Mass, Aug 2I.-TLe labor troubles in New Bedford involve I3 tf the largest cotton manufacturing cstab- lishments, with m investment of $ll.- 400. GOO. There arc l,O43. UUO spindlcS and l5, 25O looms involved. Six of tho factories arc cloth mills and seven arc yarn mills.
 A big change has come over the strike situation. It was generally believed that in view of the procedure of the IIuwland Rotch and New Bedford Manufacturing companiCs tho strike would hc SD clily settled. It now transpirCs that every manufacturer in the city outside of thosc representing the above mills has decided to shut down his mills for an indefinite period. Trrasurer Pierce of tho Wamsut- tn mills issued a manifesto.
 At the north end of tho city Considera- ble excitement was caused when it was discovered that dozen or moro operatives had gone to work at the Bristol mill X mob of l ,oO0 people surrounded the mill and yelled for an hour At noon, with forces augmented, they again surrounded the mill and attacked the operatives as they came out. One boy Was badly cut about the face.
 As the excitement of the crowd incrcas- cd stones were thrown, and some of the strikers injured each other. The opera tives at work were ohli ged to remain in the mill, and their dinners were brought in This was the only mill at this end of the city in which n machine was started.
 William D. Rowland. treasurer of the New Bedford Manufacturing corporation, Rotch Spinning company and Rowland Mills corporation, three of tho leading mills of the city, gave out tho following statement:
 It was decided by these three corpora tions to run up to l2 o'clock Monday, as usual, and the help werc accordingly re- questcd to come in, which all but n few did, and the mills were run until noon In the meantime notice was given to tho other manufacturers of a suspension of action on the notice of reduction posted n week ago. Notice was also given the help of this fact, and that the mills would close at noon until general understanding could be had with all parties concerned in regard to tho exact terms on which they would start mp again"

At the present troublous time the most important offices in Korea are held by Americans, for the king of the Hermit Nation loves America because he knows the Yankee has no designs upon his ter ritory.
 One of the most prominent Americans now in Korea is General Charles W.
