Pehnsylvan1a railroad. When Holmes left
the house with his wife he told Alcorn
ne was going to Harrisburg September
~, he returned to DR.. Alcorn's and re-
m ma "a. few days At this time told
Dr. Alcorn that he intended to take
rooms for the winter, and later that his
WiIe ana little sister woald be there. The
wife never came nor did Dr. Alcorn know
whether Alice Pietzel ever came to the
mouse as she went away and when she re-
turned she was told that a little girl had

Alcorn did not know the man.
John Grammer who lives in DIR.
Aleorn's house testified that he saw Alice
Pletzel at the house WI b Holmes on the
occasion of his second visit. Holmes
represented Alice as either his sister or
wlfe's sister, the witness could not re-

leading this child astray upon the

A crayon portrait of Alice Pietzel was
put in evidence to identify her by, and
when this was held up to view for the

steadily at the portrait moment and
then with an apparent effort withdrew
his eyes from it and made some remark
about it to court officer. During Mr..
Graham's examination of DR.. Alcord,
Holmes was in evident perturbation of
mind and his relief was evident when
Judge Arnold sustained the objection
of his counsel. During the testimony of
the subsequent witness Mr. Graham in

PROVIDENCE, April 12.--Whcn tho 2500
operatives Of tho Atlantic mills, Olney-
Vile. went to work yesterday morning, in
tending, according to program. to labor 10
minutes and then go out on strike, they
discovered that their plans had been fore
stalled by the managers. Signs were
posted on tho gates. notifying the opera
,uves, that the mills would be closed until
further notice. The strikers held meet
ing and discussed tho outlook. A vigi-
lance committee of rs was appointed to
guard the vicinity OF tho mills.
superintendent Lougee of the Atlantic
mills stated that the mills were closed by
the corporation to avoid complications as
ISOLATED with strike and not through
feeling of spite, as the public might infer.
He said:
IF the men had been allowed to carry
out their intentions, and 250O men had
come in and gone out In Is minutes, there
would have been considerable disturb
ance, and some damage might have been
done. l am very sorry the strike has
been called. because i'm the past IA years
we have succeeded in obtaining "A superior
force Of workmen. The operatives seem
moro intelligent and capable than any
ever saw under one roof"
The Atlantic corporation is the only one
In Providence
Not In the Manufacturers' Club,
and tho other manufacturers are not con-
cerning themselves with the trouble.

long to the union, but rs the majority are

night, and the streets were practically de-
serted at 10 o'clock. About 70 men pa
troled the streets about the Atlantic
works and did SO until relieved by others
this morning. 1t Is intended to maintain
perpetual patrol about the factories as
long as the strike lasts, to prevent, IL pos
sible, outsiders from going to work.
The weavers Of the Providence and Ma
tional worsted mills met last night and
voted to assess themselves 81 week each
for the benefit of the strikers. They num-
ber nearly 600 persons. The employees of
the Saxon worsted mills also met, but de.
cided to leave the matter of assessment to
the judgment OF the executive council.
The worsted and woolen spinners will
tako up the matter Of assessment at meet
ings tonight
Notice has been received from Andover
and Lawrence, that the operatives in
those cities will assist the Olneyville
strikers in every way possible. Popular
dances are to be held ut Olncyville, Paw
tucket, Central Falls and Pascoag every
Saturday night while the strike lasts.
Richard McGuy, secretary Of the Tex.
tile union is seriously ill at his home and
unable to take charge of tho strike and ii
is expected that on Saturday the union
will elect some one to act in his place.

10 BEGIN The SURVEY.
FIRST BLOOD FOR SENATOR MER.
GERS SWAMP BILL.
REPRESENTATIVES, of the Geological Bureau
Now at Leary. The First Work
to BE along the Chick
asaWhatChee.
asawhatchee

The first work contemplated by the
bin know as Senator MERGERS swamp
Bill passed at the, last session OF the
General Assembly, is now about to be
begun. State Geologist Yeates, who mas
been in correspondence and communlca-
ton with Senator Mercer on the import
ent subject OF surveying the swamp
lands of Southwest Georgia, as contem-
plated by the proVisi ons of Senator
Mercer's bill, has sent a topographer, a
Mr.. ;Wardroper, to this section for the
purpose of prospecting and taking the
necessary bearings for beginning a
survey.
The Herald says that Mr.. Wardroper
and an assistant passed through Albany
a few days ago on their way to Leary
to confer with Senator Mercer, who says
that the most important survey to be
made as starter win be along the course
of the Chickasawhatchee
Senator MERGERS bill made no appro-
priation for either surveying or draining
the swamp lands of Southwest Georgia,
and the work that is now to begin will
have to be confined to what can be done
out of the limited appropriation that ha S
been made for the support of the Geo
logical department of the. state. With a
survey to demonstrate the practicablit y
of draining and retaining thousands OF
acres Iof s1ich swamp land, and at the
same time. improving the health of this
entire section of the state, however, it is
entirely within the range sof probability
that the Legislature can be induced to
make an appropriation for the purpose
of carrying on the work.
The importance of the work contem
plated by Senator MERGERS bill car
hardly be overestimated, and yet there
are but comparatively fe of our people
who appear to appreciate it. Senator
Mercer deserves great credit for getting
through his Swamp BILL" as the mem
bers of the legislature from the upper
counties dubbed it while 1t was pending,
andlif the work which which he has in
augurated so successfully is kept up il
will accomplish a great deal for The
wampy.I e ion of Southwest Georgia.

Curious Facts.

The medical statistics of this country
have been studied by DR.. John T. Bill
lings from the racial standpoint He de-
duoes many curious facts: The infan-
tile death rate among the blacks is very
high; the race itself is shorter lived
than the white; it is less liable than the
white to malaria, yellow fever and can
Ger, but succumbs more readily to tu-
berculosis and pneumonia. Irish chill
dren survive infantile diseases, but the
adult death rate is high; tuberculosis,
pneumonia and alcoholism cut them
down. Germans are especially liable
to digestive disorders and cancer. Jews
have a low death rate; they live long;
their diseases are diabetes, locomotor
ataxia and kindred nervous ailments. -

That Is, Mr. Depew Says. They Are Not

Notwithstanding the many DISCUSSES

DR.. Depew reiterated, eyes, a failure "
"And your advice to her is?''
"Quit the Business "
Of course the new woman, who thinks
she is a great success as a companion TO
after dinner coffee, will rise to Object to
such wholesale condemnation, but who
| has a clearer title to criticise than the
| king of after dinner takers?
Club life produces after dinner talk
ers by the dozen. But none, as yet, be-
comes the queen of after dinner speakers
A majority are too conscious of their
own efforts to reach that distinction
Almost as many are i'll too deadly ear
nest over their particular line Of work
| to heed the graces and the lightsome-
ness of coffee talk and become popular.
When asked if his Judgment was the
result of experience, Mr.. Depew said:
Eyes, l have heard women talk at
Sorosis, at dinners political, charitable,
reform dinners, dramatic dinners, din
ners of every conceivable kind, and aft
er them all my advice still is, Don't do
it. Among themselves they are we'll
enough, but III a mixed dinner party
they seem out Of place.
''They are not in touch with their
audiences nor in accord with the spirit
of the occasion. After dinner speaking
belongs to the hour Of good fellowship.
A woman doesn't fit into the surround

She doesn't catch the mood Of her lis
