Dollar Bill.

About 500 o'clock last evening young
man met Clara Walsh on Gala street ana
requested her to 60 into her fathers
store, at 20 Gala street, and get
him a pound OF the best butter and
pound Of tea. The man gave the little
girl bill to pay for the articles. The
little girl did as requested and her father
gave her change for sl.Oo. The arti-
cles and the change was taken out
to the man by the little girl. When she
gave him the change the man made the
remark, "Little girl that was slo Dill that
/ gave you." She returned TO the store
and told her father, who looked st tne
bill and found that IT had peen
raised from 81 TO $40. Mr.. Walsh started
after the man, but he ran away. The WORK
of raising was poorly done. x..---,--
A little earlier in the evening, Mr.. Charles
Burke, who resides on Columbia avenue,
was accosted by three men and woman
on Broad street, near Gala street.
One of the men asked Mr.. Burke for the
time of day; another asked him
for a match and the third called him a
foul name, and at the same time called Tor
what money he had in bis possession.
Mr.. Burke pulled out his pocket knife
and told them that IL they made an =
tempt to touch him that ne woulo see
knife. Burke then started on ht
run when one of the men
threw a large stone after him, which
struck him ON the heel, iniuring him quite
badly. The description Of one OF The
men, given by Mr.. Burke, compares
with the description Of the man that
tried to fim- fam Mr.. Walsh.
The police OF Station were notiheo ano

Today collectors for the strikers started
TO manufacturing centers In Nassachu-
setts. TO obtain funds to aid in maintain
ing the strike in Olneyville.
The funds collected will be turned over
after the expenses OF the collector are de-
Quoted, to the general commltlee ior us
tribution.
In connection with the collection OF
funds outside, a local lodging house pro-
prietor told the following this morning;
Last fall" said he "we had three col
lectors from New Bedford stop with us
over night who were here coheetlng tos
the strikers down there. lhey collected
what they could and after settl~g their
board and lodging bill they had
not funds enough TO purchase return
tickets for but two Of them and the thlrd
was obliged to walk.
'Tf those who departed today DON'T iare
any better than those who visited here
did il will not be a very bright outlook
for many families to depend on for sup
port"
II is reported that the strikers are in
clined to make q move against the sample
weavers and brand them as ''scabs." III
Is feared that once the samples are out
the manufacturers Will be inclined 10 let
the mills stand idle until fall.
A manufacturer, when asked regarding
the sample weaving, replied: "Ihe
operatives now out Will be thankiui
when the chilly days of autumn come that
we had our samples out In the spring, ana
obtained orders TO furnish employment
when II will be appreciated more than
| during these pleasant summer days.
The committees from the several rooms
| ara being named and in few days the
| help will all be more or less organized In

They are maK1ng al PIePaias.oH PPs r...o =,
| to resist the manufacturers, ana remain
out as long as possible. Every encour-
| agement is extended to those who are IN
| clined 10 look upan the strike IN olsap-
proving manner.
Alluring prospects that cannot possibly
| be realized are held out by the leauets u
, see that no break occurs.
II reported that number OF operatives
| outside of tho union who were dissatlsnec
| and Inclined TO believe that they WouiC
receive practically no assistance IRON
anywhere will send committee TO th'
mill owners asking to be allowed 10 re-
turn to work, ss they had not preclpltateS
in the strike and 1T was not cohtIhueu

Two young ladies attracted attention
at the Waldorf today, not because they
were over pretty or chic, but merely
ON account of their walk. They strutted

this could hardly be possible the IN

an explanation from friendly femi-

matter? Why, hoopskirtsl "That walk
