SIX HUNDRED STRIKE.
Pitt.Held Mass, Has Largest Strike for Many
Years, Over Wages.

Pittsfleld. Mass, April 23.-The most
serious strike known in Pittsheld for
years began, this noon, when over t0O
employees of the TACOMA 6; Belair mills
refused to return to work. Both mills arc
run by Wilson 81 Horton, who on January
1. 1894, reduced tho wages 10 per cent.
The employees vainly asked for q rcstora-
ton of the old ,hcdule several times, and
this noon, committee representing every
department in both mills, waited on MIR.
Wilson and repeated the request for II
restoration
Mr.. Wilson told the committee that the
request could not be granted, as the con
dition of business did not warrant. He
said that business WAS being done on a
very close margin, but as times improved
the wages would be restored to the Old
figure.
The employees claim that the business
does warrant an increase, and point to the
fact that new buildings and machinery are
being added to The Taconic plant and the
mills are running nights.
The conference lasted an hour, but no
conclusion was reached and when the
whistle blow not an employee went into
the mil. The strikers voted unanimously
not to return to work until the 10 per cent.
reduction was restored.
The strikers say that wages have been re-
stored oil over the country and ought to
DO here They say that they cannot carr
sufficient to pay their board. Mr.. Wilson
Is a very fair man, and the trouble may bt
soon adjusted

"BAsY MINE"
The Sad Find Of Workmen While Digging al
Lewiston. Monday.


It was graesome find which they made
down on Park street, Monday afternoon,
when the workmen who were digging
cellar unearthed a small wooden box Win
c,eats nailed across it and the cover nalieo
down. There were men In the crew VINO
had dug cellars before and when one OF
the spades uncovered the top of the box
which was Is inches long and 10 inches
wide and some one suggested that 1t was
buried treasure, Others shook their heads
and said Aye, buried treasure. But oil
no use to any one now" They lifted the
cover and for @ moment saw the form of
a baby in the box 1t held its shape for
nearly "a minute though it might have
been sleeping in the ground for 80 years
It's little hands were folded across a tiny
calico pinafore and the little feet were
eucased in what were once blue slippers.
On the bosom was a rusty pin with a
piece of yellow paper on which was writ
ten in a woman's hand the words Baby
Mime For few seconds the men stood
about and gazed at the uncovered sorrow
and then it commenced to melt away into
ashes and when at last they pulled the
box out and sent for Deputy Marshal
Sands. there was nothing left in the box
but a little pile of gray ashes and the
mothers slip of paper on which was still
leyible BABY Mine. When Deputy
Marshal Sands arrived he judged that an
inquest was not necessary inasmuch as
there was possibility that the infant had
been legitinately buried years ago before
the houses were so thick on Park street,
and as no jury would be able to learn
more than the box itself told. The man
who unearthed it took it away and inferred
it again in quiet place, he said. Lewis

lions in the China-Japanese treaty OF

BOSTON'S MYSTERY.
Unknown Woman Seen to Drown Nea
West Boston Bridge.

Be Eva Kiiburn.

Boston, April 23-At 4 30 this morn
ing n woman's screams were heard from
the water, near the West Boston bridge,
but before assistance could be got to her
sic we s seen to sink. On house float
near by were found large olot of blood
and several articles of woman S cloth
ing.
An out-patient's card of the Eye and
Ear infirmary, found in an apron pocket,
was given at that institution to Eva Kill
burn, 90 years of age, of Franklin, Mass,
who had been treated for an eye affection.
The police are divided in their opinion
of the affair, some believing that tho blood
and screams indicate foul play, while
others think the woman jumped upon
the float first and received injuries which
caused the bleeding and then jumped over
board.
1t was learned by the police that there
is woman named Eva kilburn who be
longs in Franklin, and whose husband,
Arthur Kilburn, is employed in one of the
largest stores of this city as salesman.
He was seen and was told the story of the
drowned woman. He was naturally much
surprised but said the woman could not
possibly be his wife, rs the drowning &C.
CURED at 80 A. NJ and Mrs. Kilburn
was in the store at 10 A. NJ. to see him
and had probably gone to Dorchester
where she is visiting her parents.
The card found in the pocket of the
apron on the fat belonged to his wife, hi
said. and she had been a patient at the
infirmary, but Mr.. I[ilburn knew of NJ
way another woman could obtain 1t. The
clothing left on the float he did not recog
nizc as belonging to his wife and he wa!
quite positive that it wasn't hers.

49, walton.
Nothing is more alarming than diseases
Of an uieerous nature. A continual Snaw-
ing away of life-generating tissue, until a
vital spot is reached, an artery is severed,
Or from sheer weakness death ensues.
Especially in Gastritis - ulcers OF the
stomach - is terrible suffering expert
enced. The symptoms, though not at
first alarming (seemingly slight attack
Of indigestion), gradually become worse,
so that no nourishment can be retained
on the stomach, and unless the trouble
causing ulcer produces death by perfora-
ton, the patient
Dies OF Starvation.
In Consumption, where the ulcers attack
the lungs, the termination is very similar,
as it Is, in fact. in any of the wasting dis
eases to which are given various names,
according to the organs affected.
BY the methods of physicians of to-day
thousands of lives are being saved in cases
that few years ago were considered hope
less. The first step now taken to effect a
cure is TO make new blood and tissue, give
the patient strength, and keep him on
the gain" by administering Bovinine.
Boyinne is not medicine, but greatly
concentrated extract of the most vital ele-
ments of lean raw beef. The life-main-
tanning qualities of this wonderful prepa-
ration are simply marvellous. Dr. A. NJ.
Cook, Of New Castle, Pa, states that he
maintained life in his wife, while suffer
ing from gastric ulcers, for three weeks
without giving her anything through the
mouth, injecting Bovinne instead.
With such results as this, it is not to be
wondered at that Bovinine is Endorsed by
physicians everywhere, and has become
recognized as the greatest factor in saving
life, fastening recovery from sickness, ard
wardins off disease, ever given to man.

THEIR TRUE coLoRS



Foreign 6oods-
Tariff reformers have always con.
tended that the theory Of protection
was opposed TO all foreign trade. and
that il its advocates were consistent
they would entirely abolish interna-
tional commerce by enacting = prohiD-
tory tariff. says a writer. But the
McKinlcyites have been ashamed OF
the conclusion Ia which their logic un-
erringly pointed and have protested
that they were anxious to extend our
foreign trade. 80 while one set of
HIGH tariff orators was clamoring for
law which would keep the foreigner
out Of our markets, another set were
contriving so-called reciprocity laws"
for the purpose OF bulldozing the fo:-
eigner into trading with Us.
The failure of reciprocity" as a
means of opening up foreign markets
was 50 evident under the Mckinley
tariff that the trade hating wing Of
the republican party are coming 10 ths
front and boldly declaring for policy
of total exclusion OF foreign goods. In
letter published in the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter. Judge
William Lawrence. president of the
National Wool Growers association.
tells what the wool duties are To be IL
the protectionists are allowed 10 make
new tariff Not satisfied with the
old Mckinley duties the woolgrowers
will demand l. cents pound on class
l woods. IA cents on class ?. with an
annual increase of u of cent a pound
until the duty should he prohibitory.'
And he adds: protective duties arr
only valuable as they keep out foreign
goods All the foreign products should
be excluded Why not?"
This is the true position Of the be
lievers in the Chinese policy of trade
exclusion. Judge Lawrence deserves
credit for boldly stating the real prin
ciples of protection, even though his
views are worthy of only a barbarian.
II the rest of the McKinleyites will be
equally frank there will be no mistake
as to the issue between democrats and
republicans in the next campaign
When the people are plainly asked Il
decide between policy of free and
extended commerce with all the
world, and one of Chinese-lik,
trade exclusion. there can be no doub
as to their answer. In 1892 an over
whelming ma jority voted against TIL
doctrine of restriction. A still greater
majority will overthrow the party
which advocates free trade prohibition

The beneficial results of the new
tariff are being felt in every line of

From every section come reports of in

wages for the workingmen. None

it is to their advantage TO sell good
lambs for 81. 90 to 81. SO as they did last
gear under the Mckinley tariff, in
stead of the s. 80 to $500 which they
get to-day.
They remem Der that they could get
only IL cents pound for good butter
last year which brings 20 cents this
year and CENTS this year; 10 cents to
IA cents for their wool under the Nc
kinlcy law and 20 cents under the Viii
son law.
Sheep pelts which would bring only
Is and 20 cents last year are snapped
up this year by dealers at 40 and IS
cents; cow hides hunted for buyers at
2 cents pound last year. now buyers
hunt for COW hides and are glad to pay
: cents pound; or veal hides which
found purchasers at 20 to 10 cents now
sell for from so cents to Sl.4s. And so
on to the end of the chapter.

PUNISHMENT PROMISED.


D1reful Threat Against Those who Prospcs
Under Tariff Reform.
1t appears from unmistakable threats
in the Tribune that wool and iron
manufacturers who presume to pros
per under any but q Mckinley tariff
are to be severely dealt with as soon
rs the repu blicans can get at them
After reciting the fact Of their in
creasing prosperity and consequent
satisfaction. IL says that IF they in
dulge the notion that they can perpet-
uate the special advantages which the
most Infamous tariff in American his
tory may have given them in compare
son with other American producers
they will learn their mistake
And this is what the Tribune calls
dealing with monopoly" The crime
which wool manufacturers and iron
manufacturers have committed Is in
presuming 10 become more prosperous
than the Tribune is willing to allow
before a republican president is elect
ed and the tariff law changed
Honcc IL threatens loudly that il the
price Of iron does not drop. IL we do
not quit shipping iron to England and
Japan, il wages are not at once cut in
all the iron mills. IL general gloom and
depression are not 1t once substituted
for cheerful prosperity. there will be .
great deal OF trouble for all concerned
as soon as the Tribune and its friends
get a chance ut them
This is really funny. Or, at least, 1t
would be II the Tribune were not ale
