where negro and white labor is employed,
undertook today to put in half a dozen
negro bosses over the white operatives

~ that the colored bosses were promptly
taken out.
The mill has had considerable trouble
since colored hands were employed and
the whites today declared that they
would fight it out and tear down the
factory unless they could work under
white men.
They got what they wanted and were
satisfied.

y ADVERTISERS will find it to their advan-
tlge to occasionally follow the paper they
patronize into the homes in which il cir
culates to note with what ayidity the fem

woman reader Of newspapers first turns to the
marriage and death column, then to the

the best possible medium through which TO
reach the eyes of his customers, present and

speed of torpedo Boat No. O.


NEWPORT, r. l., Jan. 25.-New torpedo
boat No. g had an unofficial trial yester-
day over a measured course, n nautical
mile long, from Sands Point to Fort
Adams, and attained a speed Of twenty
seven knots an hour. The boat carried an
overweight of ten tons, and with this out,
it is thought that she will exceed her con-
tract speed Of tw~enty-seven and one-halt
knots by fully a knot, if not more. The
vibration, which retarded the boat on
previous trials, has been reduced to a
minimum, and the steering gear works
perfectly. No. 6 will be put over the
course every day until Saturday, when
she will be taken up to Providence and
put into dry dock. The official govern.
ment trial will take place some day next
week There will be no bonus to the
builders for excess speed.
