TAx SONG OF A TRAMP.
The midnight stars are blazing
From out the welkin wide,
And DER the restless river

The miInjght stars are blazing
From out the welhin wide,
And DER the restless river
They dance on its shimmering tide.
While homeless and friendless
Iwander wild and free.
care for no one. good or bad.
And no one cares for me.
The north wind, fierce and hard with fros
Comes whistling DER the moor.
It's bitter ~ the faces
meet at every door.
The brown leaves on the oak trees
Arc singing In tho blast.
They seem To think Of summer time
And dream OF pleasures past
But never thought Of pleasure
Or happy dream have l.
The spring hath no more hope for me
Than winters midnight sky.
For then in wood or field sleep.
Or damp and loathsome cave,
And now 10 warmer barn stink.
A coward and inave.
And homeless and fricndless
wander wild and free.
] care for no one. good OF bad.
And no one cares for me.

PROVIDENCE. r. L. May IA manu-
facturer says OF the caucus that led up
to the decision of yesterday 10 close all
the Olneyville mills
1T is difficult for the people to under
stand the affairs in the mills. The man
facturers are IN a position 10 see that
they are confronted by a difficulty that
threatens. not only the business OF the
mills but the prosperity Of Olnoyville as
a manufacturing town.
Long before the big lsTeor trouble Of
1888, Olneyvilie had obtained the rcputa-
tion Of ieing the centre Of labor agita-
tion. and the NCw York commission
houses looked upon IL AS place where
il was questionable whether an order
would be filled or not, IS strike was
likely TO be precipitated at any time.
"The strike OF 1893 only tended 20 con-
firm them in this opinion. and since that
time. IL has been very difficult for the
Olneyville mills 10 obtain the best mar
Ret for their goods. Again and again
they had been given 10 understand that
it would be impossible TO send orders TO
Olneyville while such a condition OF
affairs prevailed, and they had long ago
decided that n would be necessary 10
take the bull by the horns. and adopt
some measures 10 protect themselves and
put things on a better plane.
"The present labor troubles compelled
Them 10 look with anxious eyes upon the
future Of the market, and IL was there
fore determined to take the action neces-
sary to settle the issue. IL was for this
reason that il had been decided 10 order
a lock out.
IF the market for the Olneyville goods
was TO be preserved. the labor troubles
must end az once and for all time ana
if the spirit Of discomfort continues to
prevail among the help. the mills must
be closed until they are ready and willing
to go back and stay

for an indefinite period. but this means
that the mills will not be operated until
