4" THE COTTON KING"

Very Capable Company Produce the
Well-Known Play at Opera House.
A large and appreciative audience wit
messed the first production of "The Cot
ton King" at the Pawtucket Opera House
last evening, and testified by frequent ap-
plause their approval of the work of the
we'll balanced company.
"The Cotton King" Is one of the most
thrilling productions from the pen of
Sutton Vane, and while not of a nature
calling for a severe strain on the nerves
abounds in interesting situations and
holds the close attention of the audience
from the rise to the fall of the curtain.
The play was presented here last season
and is familiar to many of the patrons of
the house.
The play is more realistic than the ordi-
nary melodrama, and deals with every day
life. The story is hot new, although the
settings are, and the play deals with the
great wrong righted, and the final reward
of honesty and virtue. The production Is
morally healthy one to witness, and the
company which present it are very capable.
In the fourth act, the elevator scene is
one OF the best pieces of stage mechanism
seen in the house this season, and received
merited applause.
The company Is evenly balanced, and the
work of some of the members is worthy OF
special mention. Perkins j. Fisher as
James Shillinglaw gave one of the best
performance of character work witnessed
this season, and his part was rendered in 9
very finished manner. His work last even.
ing won merited applause.
James Osborne, 1.-THE Cotton King" i'm.
personated by James M. Brophy was evil
IDENTIFY intended for the honest, manly col
Oring which that actor gives it. Richard
Stockley, the villain of the piece, is a diff
ficult and unpopular part, but the work OF
T. French Burke was very clever. There
Is vain of comedy running through the
play, and the fun maker is James F. Nc
Donald, who is a vocalist of some ability
and does character part well. He very
soon became favorite with the audience.
Miss Nellie Elting, the Cotton Kings
sweetheart is an actress of marked ability
in the emotional line, and in addition a
very graceful woman. She apparently has
true conception of the part assigned to
her and her work is very clever. Clara
Wisdom, with ambitions in the Sandow
line was clever in the comedy part taken
by her and her work with James McDon-
aid was amusing. Rose Braham, who ap-
pears in the first two acts of the play as
Elsie Kent does good work, and plays her
part attractively. The remaining men,
bers of the company are fully up to the
requirements of the play. "The Cotton
King" is the best production of its kind
witnessed in this city this season and will
amply repay visit.

NO CUT WANTED.
Mule Spinners Will Not Have
Reduction in Wages.
Meeting Last Night OF Executive
Committee of Local Branch.
Secretary FaIlon Reports on Proceeding Of the
National Convention Held In Boston.

A meeting of the Executive Committee
of the Mule Spinners' Association was
held in the Cottrell block last evening,
and Secretary Fallon reported on the pro-
ceedings of the National Convention held
in Boston, and which concluded it's ses-
sions today. The report will not be made
public until after the general monthly
meeting of the association, which takes
place on the 18th.
Yesterdays session In Boston of the con
vention of the National Cotton Mule
Spinners' Association emphatically declar-
ed against any reduction of wages, and
voted to fight all attempts at reduction
when the "curtailing" season was over.
Every delegate present spoke upon the
subject, and the resolution ordering Or
ganized resistance was carried unani-
mously.
The curtailing season, so called, Is the
part of the year when the manufacturers
close their mills in order to curtail pro-
duction of textile goods. At the end of
the season IL Is often the custom to reopen
the mills on full time under reduced
wages, and little resistance is offered on
these occasions because of the long peri
DDS of idleness and the reduced financial
condition of the workers in consequence.
Where the mule spinners have been or
ganized they have been able to successfully
resist reduction of wages, unless the state
of trade was such as to make such reduc-
tion an absolute necessity in order that
the mills might be kept running.
Those of the textile workers who have
not been organized into trade unions have
been the greatest sufferers. There is
we'll grounded belief that an attempt is to
be made upon the organized workmen
when the mill start up again on
full time to reduce wages materially.
The convention decided to open up the
agitation for a shorter workday in the
| textile industry. Nearly every delegate
| present spoke upon this proposition, the
strongest points made in it's favor being
that the increase in the improved pro-
cesses Of production was rapidly increas-
ing the unemployed, and the fact that in
other trades where the work was not so
laborious as in the textile trades short
hours, without loss of wages, had been
obtained through constant agitation.
Secretary Robert Howard read an invita-
tion from the Mayor of Robaix, France,
asking the convention to send delegate
to represent the American textile opera
tives at an international convention to be
held in that city in August.
After passing vote of thanks to Robert
Howard the convention adjourned.

CAPT. DOES PLANS.

He Has Abandoned the Idea of Becoming
Bicycle Magnate.
Fred Doe of New Bedford announced
yesterday that he had given up for the
present his scheme of building big bicy-
Gle track about midway between Fall River
and New Bedford. He also stated that he
would most likely accept Manager Mar
ston's offer to identify himself with the
Fall River Baseball Club. The fact Is that
Mr.. Doe wrote to Mr.. Marston a day or
two ago, asking for a position OH the team,
but as there are no vacancies II is hardly
probable that the New Bedford fre-eater
will be seen this year in Fall River uni
form.

BOGUS COLLECTOR.

The Police Are Looking For n Swindler
Who Is Practfcing q New Game.
The police are looking for swindler
who Is practicing a new game of bunco in
this city. Wednesday afternoon young
man, well dressed and having the appear
ance Of bookkeeper, called upon Mrs.
Michael Connolly of South Bend street.
He had pencil behind his ear and book
In his hand. He stated that his business
was to collect the unpaid taxes. Mrs. Con-
molly had never heard of the tax depart
nent taking the trouble to do this before,
became suspicious and declined to pay the
swindler anything, and he took his de-
parture after making q memorandum In
his book.
He next called upon a family named
McNerney and gave them the same game
Of talk. Mr.. McNerney was about to pro-
duce the money when Mrs. Connolly
rushed In and told the astonished Mr..
McNerney that she thought the fellow
was swindler.
The young NAH took hurried departure
without attempting to make any entries In
his book, and Mr.. McNerney started In
pursuit, naturally he was angry when he
thought how nearly he had been imposed
upon. The race was an exciting one, and
pursuer and pursued ran up South Bend
street, though North Bend street, through
Brook street, and 1t was not until the run
ners had reached the neighborhood of the
Poor Farm that the swindler made his
escape.
There has been a party around the city
which the police think Is the same man,
trying to collect water rents, and II would
be surprising II many families had been
swindlcd on one pretext or the other.
