THE NEW BEDFORD STRIKE.

New Bedford, Mass. Feb. IA weaver
today expressed himself freely concern ug
the strike and the possi bility OF the non
npion weavers holding out Said he:
"A non union weaver made application
for assistance yesterday ut the bead1uar-
ters of the distributing committee. On
inquiring. he was told that for the pres
ent week no assistance could TO given non
union wPavers. The reason given was
that up to the present time the collec-
tioBs amounted TO only Sl25, ana that dis
tributed equally among the non D-up ion
strikers would amount to only six cents
per head. IL WIS thought prudent TO de-
lay paying OF until other funds were re-
ceived.
MIR. Hart further stated that be had
confidence that funds enough would Iva
coming in next week To provide for all
non union strikers who proved worthy OF
receiving support. These statements
were made in the presence OF large
number OF people.

stating the outlook Is not very bright
At thu present we non-unioD weayers are

Little Money Collected at
CentreViIle.
OPERATIVES LOSE HEART
Feeling Against Those Who Pre-
cipitale1 the Strike.
SITUATION AT NEW BEDFORD.

The strikers at the Centrsville mill are
still out and the mill Is closed down for
an indefinite time and the operatives are
not half as enthusiastic in their attempt
to dictate to Supt. Allen ms they were
last week.
A committee>of the. strikers has been
attempting TO collect funds from the
operatives in the other mills to support
their strike, but have met with very poor
success. as the Centrevillc strike is viewed
with disfavor by the operatives generally,
and all of their spare money is going to
support the strikers at New Bedford
Many of the operatives at Centreville
are feeling the effects of the shut down,
and as their money disappears and their
credit fails ut the stores. they ere very
bitter against the weavers, VINO, by their
hasty action, have thrown them out of
work i'm the middle Of winter. Some OF
the operatives have secured work shovel
ing snow and are ekeing out living In
that way, but they realize that the work
is only temporary, aud IL the mill does
not start up before long great deal OF
suffering will ensue, and IL there is not
some change for tne better before long
the striking weavers' paths will not be
strewn with roses.

MODERN COLLEGE.
President Andrews Address TO
WilllsiOn Students.
The Power, Profit and Privilege OF COL
leeiate Education.

President Il. Benjamin Andrews OF
Brown University delivered an address
at Easthampton last evening before the
students Of williston Seminary on 1.-The
Modern College, He saId that he did
not wish to be regarded as Pleading for
his own college in particular, but paid
warm tribute 20 Amherst and Williams,
Smith and Mount Holyoke institutions,
which SO enrich and adcrn the society OF
Western Massachusetts, where tho speaker
VAS brought up. Many prejudices exist
respecting the purposes of college life and
wCrk. Because numerous sons OF
wealthy people are found in most col
leges. the idea prevails that colleges are
meant simply for such. This is great
error Even in Yale and Harvard most
students come from the middle or poorer
classes, and not few OF them practically
support themselves. Nor are the colleges
any longer merely or mainly for intending
clerRymen. Again 1T is great mistake
to suppose that colleges now teach mainly
the dead languages. THESE. in fact, form
but a comparatively small part OF :the
modern curriculum. The vast miscon-
ception Of all is one still quite PREVALENT,
that sickly and broken down young poo
pie make up the bulk Of college coIDmun-
tiles, persons who could not engage in
csllings which demanded physical vigor.
College men show very uncommon av-
erage of health and strength. Ii Is. in
fact one OF the chief Rlories of the mod
ern college that IL does not impart men
tal training alone. but provides dIsci-
pline for conserving and improving stu
dents physical powers "a we'll.

Once more Providence may be raid to
be In touch with the rest OF the old,

from Worcester are running on schedule
time at the start and are only a trifs
late.
The Union Railroad Company IL just
making things jump in the way Of clear
ing tfe tracks on It's several lines. Over
quite number Of the routes cars are
running on regular schedule time. and
while some are using only one track for
a part OF the distance. the big gangs OF
shovelers that Manager Potter has at
work are extending the running distance
every hour Of the day. The Cranston
line is running TO Knightsville without
any apparent difficulty, ana the West
minister street and Broadway cars are
carrying passengers in large numbers TO
and from OlneyviIle SQUIRE.
The Elmwood cars are running to and
from Red bridge on the Waterman street
route, and westward to point near
Roger Williams Park, while the Broad
