applications for membership in the Fenci-

our part" said Captain Domer to aaStar
reporter, in speaking Of the matter. I'VE
do not stand In need Of additional members
but, nevertheless, will be very glad to re-
ceive the new comers as they are excellent
material from a military standpoint. Their
recent discharge from the National Guard
in the interest of the service was the result
of a difference of opinion with their COM
manding officer. There will be no differ
ence Of opinion in the Fencibles." A rumor
of certain rejection, 1t is understood, caused
the boilers to depart from their original in
tention Of applying for membership in Com
pany B. I'd Battalion-the National Rifles.
Notwithstanding the disturbances of late

with many other branches Of industry, the city
is the principal distributing point and all the
factories have offices here. In the local handling
Of straw hats upward Of 5000 hands are en-
ployed. all of them women or girls. Most OF the
factories are in Massachusetts and Connecticut
but the material OF which the hats are made
comes in braids from Japan and China, and IN
smaller quantities from Switzerland England
ard Italy This raw material is admitted duty
free but the manufactured article pays duty
Of ~ per cent Importers seem to be satisfied with
this duty at least they don't complain, but, ike
other merchants. they cry aloud for surcease OF
tariff legislation. Straw hats range in price from
~ cents to ST. This is what an importer says
about the business I'VE did not expect much In
