The affable passenger had been searching
for victim for a long time. He had made
explanations when reading his paper, in the
hopes that it would attract the attention
Of some one and give him the opportunity
to show his power as conversationalist, but
all his little ruses failed. The people who
sat near him seemed to he wholly centered
on themselves, but still he was not COM
pletely discouraged. He looked about him,
and, selecting one man to whom he thought
he might be able to impart much interesting
information, he began operations by re-
marking:

The man who wasaddrcssed looked over the

Fall River cotton manufacturers, ut n
special meeting, voted to reduce the
wages of operatives. The cut will not

does not enable print cloth, it is as
serted, to be manufactured for the
price now prevailing, which is the low
est on record.
