to have their teeth examined and present
a dentists certificate that this had been
done before Sept l. DR.. g. W. Watson Of

few girls took notice of the order, and Su-
perintendont Beading was driven to dos
pcration
Order No . was Issued, to the eject
that girls must present doctors cartih-
Gates by Sept. o or bo discharged. Eighty
girls complied but 100 refused.
When the delinquents appeared at the
mill, they found notice posted to report
at once to the Official dentist or else re-
port to the superintendent The girls got
mad, and 90 decided to quit then and there
"We won't do It for him, the mean
thing they said, and thoy didn't.
Gathering their traps together, they
Joined hands and quit work. Their friends
heard of it, and when the night shift went
to work they had somesympathizers.
"We'n 60 with them, too, " they said,
and 80 quit work.
When Superintendent Reading hoard it
he was equally mad and Immediately ad-
vertised for new help.

Plan TO Settle n Matter That Has
Caused Much bitterness.
NEW HAVEN, Oct. 2.-The members Of
the ivy committee Of Yale's class Of '96
have made public what will undoubtedly
prove happy solution OF the trouble en-
gendered by the planting Of the slip of
ivy from the grave of General Robert K.
Lee on the Yale campus and its subse-
quent theft during the summer
The members of the ivy committee, con-
sisting of Chauncey W. Wells of Middle
town, Conn. William ). Woodruff OF
New York and II. C. Leo of the island Of
Trinidad, have been in correspondence
over the theft of the ivy since it became
known and have decided to plant another
of the several slips from General Lee's
grave which were originally sent, and
also, on a proposition Of Wallace Bruce,
'67, slip from the grave Of Theodore
Winthrop the poet and writer, vino was
one of the first Yale officers to meet death
in tho Union army. The planting Of the
iyies will be made notable event, and the
plan Of having Ex-Governor Chamberlain
Of South Carolina deliver the oration Is
being favorably considered. 1t is proba-
BILE, however. the slips will not be put
into the ground till early spring. Mr..
Wells, chairman of the committee, IN
speaking of the matter, said the Winthrop
ivy will be planted close beside that from
the grave of General Lee, and as the vines
grow together they will typify the wish
Of every loyal Yale man for a union In
spirit of the north and south and blow
at any attempt to create sectionalism in
any form among Yale alumni and under
graduates
