presented a beautiful and picturesque
sight last evening, the occasion being the
first OF a series OF costume carnival
dances by the children Of the German
school. The dances were under the direc-
tion Of Prof. Leopold Hamburger, teacher
OF languages OF this city, and were in
dulged in by thirty-two children OF the
school. 1t was happy evening for the
parents OF the little ones TO see them
neatly attired In japanese costumes going
through the many intricate and serpentine
figures OF the dance, to the inspiring
music OF John 3. Krauss' orchestra.
The "fower Dance" which closed the
evenings festivities for the children, was
loudly applauded, and the singing by the
entire German school was we'll apprecia-
ted. The testers OF the dance were Willie
Donath and Emma Krumbholz, two little
tots that brought up In the rear and made
lots OF merrimeht for the audience. The
piano selections of Mrs. Leopold were OF
a high order, and the duet by Miss Emma
Donath and Mrs. Leopold was well re-
ceived. The names Of the children who
took part In the dances are as follows:

Situation Getting Serious
in 0IneyvilIe.
WHAT MILL OWNERS SAY.
Will Close All the'Mills at First Sign
OF Trouble.

All the textile manufacturers OF Provi-
dence have agreed to combine and
TO CLOSE any or all Of their mills at the
first sign of a strike. They also agreed
not to communicate with their operatives
In the event of strike, and to make no
proposition Of any description.
Horace A. Kimball, owner OF the Man.
ton wooden mills, ut which place the step
looking to big strike at Olneyville was
taken, says no has no idea when he will
resume the operations of his plant. He
attributes the inception OF tho strike to
what are known as tramp weavers-men
who work In place long enough to get q
few dollars ahead and then go on to the
next manufacturing settlement.
Manufacturers' Point Of View.
Mr.. Kimball sizes up tho woolen manu-
featuring business Of Rhode Island as fol-
lows: "There is no desire on the part of
the manufacturers to combine against the
help, but they are In position where they
are forced to combine to protect them
selves against tho operatives. who are de-
manding things which cannot be given.
"The operatives" he continued, "have
q mistaken notion that good times in the
mill business have been restored and that
the mills can afford to give the old ratio of
wages; they do not know how the mill
men in and around Olneyville figured to
get the market.
"They had to figure close, and then
work to get out big volume Of product
to come obt whole on such small margins.
None of them ever figured so close before,
but by doing it they got the orders that
have sct all the mills in Olneyville run
ming, while there are lots Of mills around
the country that are not able to do this.
Strike VIII he Of No Avail.
"The help will find that they cannot
gain one mill by the course they have
taken. II they strike, they will stay out
unuil they get ready to look about and:find
that the wages already paid In and around
Olneyville are fully as high, and In some
instances higher than are paid In other
places.
You may safely rely on my assertion
that they will not 60 back to work when
the strike is over at any higher wages.
They will bo lower, II there Is any change"
Olneyville is regular bed Of strike
sentiment. A general strike is contem-
plated April l, bNt 1t has been decided in
stead that the operatives of the Fletcher
mills will make demand Monday for
return to the schedule of 1893. The result
Of this will be the closing Of that mill
and probably general strike soon after
