There is unquestionably q remark
able revival of industry all over New
England. Fall River has advanced
the pay Of its operatives from 10 to
IL per cent. and other centers of the
the textile industry have followed.
This is only one phase of the indus
try. The shoe towns are doing a
rushing trade, and, in fact, there is
increased activity from Maine to
Rhode Island.
The revival in the textile factories,
marked by a general increase of
wages, is most noticeable, because
most recent. The wage schedule in
Fall River, which went into effect
Saturday. affects about $4,000 en-
ployes. The advance in most cases
ranges from 10 to IL per cent, and
this means an increase of from $15,-
900 to $50. 900 in the weekly pay rolls
of the city.
In Providence and other parts of
Rhode Island the manufacturers are
coming back to the rates that pre-
vailed before 1898. The Weybosset
wooden mills. Of Olneyville, have in
creased wages $1.O5 per week. and
the largest cotton manufacturers
will undoubtedly follow the example
of Fall River. Down in the Quinne-
bogg Valley, notices of increase have
been made and 5000 operatives are
happily affected in western Rhode
Island and eastern Connecticut mills.
In Haverhill business is good and
wages will be increased just as
soon as the local board OF coucilia-
ton and arbitration can decide upon
q scale.
In Weymouth the shoe shops are
turning out large amounts of goods,
and some are so rushed with orders
that they are compelled to run holt
days.
The 1900 employees of the State
Wooden company Of Massachusetts,
are the latest wooden operatives to
receive notice Of an increase of wages.
The protectionists told us that free
trade would destroy industry. We
have now. free trade in wool. and the
prices Of wooden goods are lower,
their market is extending. the bust
ness 10 strengthening and the wages
Of the worktngmen are rising.

MOVING OF A MONOLITH.

The Burial B0wldef and the Attention
Attracted BY 1t.
The New York Herald in an article
devoted to Great Bowlders and
Their Use, has this to say of the one
moved across the Mississippi in full
fillment of the wishes of the late Ed
ward Burial for . monument:
"a great bowlder, which, from
time immemorial, had been q land
mark on the western shore of the
Mississippi river. was moved from its
long resting place, taken across the
river from Iowa to Illinois, and is
now a monument in ChiPpiannock
cemetery at Rock Island, and marks
the grave of Edward Burial.
This bowlder lay on the bank Of
the river in a highway known as the
Rockingham road. five miles west
of the city of Davenport. and
is an irregular spherical ovoid. with
a mean diameter of about eight feet,
and weighs more than 40 tons. Its
sight was a favorite Indian camping
ground even after the advent Of the
whites. and its granite face has many
times echoed the passionate words of
such chiefs as Keokuk and Black
Hawk.
An Enduring Monument.
"Some years ago Edward Burial,
of Rock Island, conceived the notion
of using the bowlder for a monument,
made q contract for its removal to
the other shore of the river, and pro-
ceeded by will for carrying out the
contract and having it placed on his
grave, bearing the simple inscrip-
ton. 'Burrall.'
..In 1876 Mr.. Burial died, and
some time afterward the contractor
began the work Of moving the bowl

drawn to the waters edge. and an
attempt begun to take it over the
river on the ice, but the plan was
abandoned for fear of accident. and
afterward it was loaded on a fiatboat
and taken to the Illinois shore, from
where it was drawn by windlass and
tackle to Chippiannock cemetery.

ing the bowlder was 500. 1000"
