Mr., Borden Buys the Surplus of
the Eastern Mills

New York, Feb. S.-The purchase Of
100000 pieces Of print cloth by NJ. c. d.
Eorden at Fall River today, announced
i'll dispatch from that place to the
United Associated Presses, is Il most i'm
portant one.
The stock of print cloths unsod and
held by the Fail River, Providence and
osher eastern mills has been steadily in
creasing On January l this year the
stock Of weaves known as sXty-four
squares, was nearly 90O,000 pieces. Last
Saturday the stock was said to have de-
creased to 10000 pieces. Numerous plans
Were discussed for further reducing the
surplus stock, and finally partial curtail-
ment was agreed on. An arrangement
was signed by which $4,000 spindles
are to remain idle two days in each week
Tor thirteen weeks or their equivalent.
Among the mills signing this was the
Fan River lion Works Company'S mill,
controlled by the Borden interests. Being
himself party to the curtailment plan,
it is reasonable to suppose that Mr.. Borden
will now insist on its being carried out
as arranged. His purchase of 100000
pieces las therefore mulating effect on
the market in which he will participate
to great extent.

Thoroughbred" the play given at the

Henry E. Dixey is the semi-star OF
the cast, and it was post pleasing sur

sits on this most popular actor after his
many years in burlcsque. Only in one

negro minstrel on the race track. does
he remind us of the days when he used
to do the hind legs OF the heifer in

the role of John Rimple, well-to-do but

Dainty and chic as ever, Frances Stevens

American heiress, strengthened her hold

The Brand of CAIN a thrilling melo-
drama from the pen Of Augustus Wolfuni
is the bin served up to the patrons of the
Bi. ou this week, and in its selection Man
ager Whitesell has shown his wisdom,
Tor it is one of the best all-rouud depiC
tions of that class of drama that has
been seen here for many seasons
The plot, though somewhat similar-hut
only in the feature of the dual identity
to the CorSican Brothers, is clever and
subtle conception. intensely thrilling ut
several places, and replete with the es-
sential details that go TO make up good
plays Of its character. The comedy is
original and brimful OF wit, while the
heavier roles show the work of master
hand in the art of stagecrast. The whole
plot hinges upon the striking resemblance
OF two brothers, and the exciting climaxeS
at the end of each of the four acts are
cleverly PLANNED and reached by an in
genUous web of cause and effect that Is
refreshing in these days of hackneyed
phrases and motheaten situations.

A CLOSE SHAVE.
A Level Headed Motorman Saves
 Passengers.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 13.-The presence of mind of motorman on a Bridgewood trolley car last night averted an accident in which loss of life would probably have been inevi- table. The car was crowded with passengers, among whom was Gov ernor Mount, returning to his home. AS the car approached the Big Four crossing on Massachusetts avenue, no fagman was there and the car pro- ceeded.
 Within a few feet of the crossing Motorman Allen Abrahams observed an engine backing toward his car at the rate of thirty miles an hour. An application of the street car brakes would have landed the motor on the track just in time to be crushed by the engine. Realizing this fact, Abrahams applied the full current and the car jumped the crossing at bound, but the rear end of the car was entirely destroyed by the engine. Governor Mount praised the motorman for his prompt action.

go to increase his own compensation. He must account for the money to rha proper auditing officers. The mere power of appointment also doss not place him in control of the ac- tions of those who get the offices. There has never been mayor who has succeeded in making all his ap- pointecs do exactly as he wished in everything.
 SETH LOWS EXAMPLE.
 The only mayor of Brooklyn who ever managed it was Seth Low, and he did it only by compelling them to place their resignatiors in his hands the day they were appointed. It was a case of standardization of poM;r fer non-par tishn ends, for Mayor Low notified each officer that he would accept the resignation of the first man who tried to use his of- flee for politics
 The plan worked well, but no may CT since has adopted it in Brooklyn, a d certainly not a single Tammany or machine mayor has. Instead Tam many and Mclaughlin machines plac- ed each mayor under obligations to ment heads Or accept the conse- quences. All the New York mayors broke their pledges before the expira- tion of thelir terms. Hewitt, Grant and Gilroy fought Croker and invited the consequences. Neither Grant nor Gikoy, however, ever held his appoin- tees to account, and in occasional instances were forced by public criti- cism to force their resignations from them, though not till after long per suasions and sometimes not till the offending official had been bomght off with promises of political prefer1nent in the future. The curse of Mayor Strong's administration has been his inability to control his appo.ntees They have more or less defied him. Parker of the police board is a mo- torious example. The mayor decid- ed that he was guilty on charges and the governor turned the mayor down. The same system by the charter is that which the new mayor will have to observe, though how much or how little he may require of his appointeas in the way of obedience is not ye! known. He will never be able to con- trol them absolutely unless he does as Seth Low did. If he does not his emily other power over them is that of being one of the members of the board of estimate. If he can get the other members of the board to think as he does he may punish them with reductions in their annual appropri- ations. The mayor of tha greater city, taken altogether, represents an advance in the theory of the ceatrali- zation of municipal responsibility Practically, however, he is not and can never make himself anything that resembles a king.
