king has already subscribed 5000 toward
this object, and Cardinal Bishop Lorenz
$40. The rector Of the university makes
an appeal to the corporations, counties,
doctors and leading officials throughout
the entire country to come to the help of
the students with their subscriptions
and influence. The various government
offices, institutions and numerous pri-
vate situations will, it is hoped, be thrown
open to the deserving student at least
two days in the week, when he is entire
ly free and able to do the work remaining
over in the offices.
Moreover, an appeal for board and
lodgings for the undergrads has not gone
unheard. Certain restaurant owners
have set good examples by offering to
dine limited number of students every
day free of charge. Private families will
most likely throw open their doors to the
hungry searcher after learning and
victuals, and public officials, lawyers,
etc., will give them "shake-down" in
the out-of- the-way corners of their Of
fees for the night. Hitherto the stu
dents seem to be extremely pleased with
their new luck, and have not raised a
single word in protest against this prof.
fered charity.--Pall Mall Gazette.

WILL NOT STRIKE
Cotton Operatives Conclude to Accept
Reduced Wages

FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. 2S.-The op-
eratives' conference committee, was In
session two hours tonight, after executive
committee meetings of the various unions
had been held. Secretary O'Donnell gave
out the following resolution, which had
been unanimously adopted by the COM
mittee:
Resolved. That we accept the reduction,
as 1t would not be good business policy on
our part to enter into a strike at the pres
ent time. But we inform our employers
that as soon as we think there Is enough
margin of profit for the restoration of the
present wage scale, we shall demand it.
even If we have to go to the extremity
of leaving our employment by going on
strike.
The feeling among the leaders tonight Is
strongly against the reduction. While the
committee offers the resolution to the un-
ions. there is possibility that they will
not accept 1t. The spinners, slashers and
loom fixers all talk strike, and 1t is possi-
BILE they may so vote at the meeting on
Thursday night.

necessary to hang pieces of absorbent
