SPINNERS TO STRIKE.
New Bedford and Lowell Districts
Resent the Cut in Wages,

New Bedford, Mass, Jan. IA
feeling of gloom spread among the
business men when they learned that
the National Mill Spinners' union at
it's meeting in Boston sanctioned
strike here and at Lowell, carrying
with it the practical certainty that 1t
would be the longest battle New Bed
ford has ever experienced. Secretary
Ross of the national union has re-
turned from Boston and gave out the
first statements made of the action
Of the national union at its secret con-
erence.
after a discussion lasting two
hours" said Secretary Ross, "the ma
tional union voted to grant permission
to two districts, New Bedford and
Lowell, to order a strike. The action
c. the national union makes certain
to New Bedford the support Of the
whole Of New England With the
help thus promised us the New Bed
ford union will be able to carry on
the strike for a considerable time
Without touching cent oi Inc Hoo,-
eco in the treasury If the operatives
do not win the strike, it viii not be
from lack Of funds. The action Of the
national union means that New Bed
ford is to be the battle ground for the
whole section. 1t is here that the
first resistance will be offered to the
universal eut-down. AT the meeting
the representatives from number of
districts were urgent that they should
be allowed to order a strike, but after
a thorough discussion of the situation
it was decided to limit this authority

WINDOW CURTAINS.
These Change with the Times as Do
styles in Dress-SOme Pres
ent Fancies.

The fashion of window dressing
changes with the years and the ideas
of drapery that prevail. A few years
ago it was considered very desirable
to have inside blinds. To-day these
inside blinds have given place in many
country houses to the older fashion OF
the graceful Venetian shutters, which
take the place of the shutter and the
holland shade formerly considered
necessary at every properly arrayed
window. Where the expense is not con
sidered cool-looking awnings are
placed at all the sunny windows. II
is not considered necessary for the
sake of appearance TO put up awnings
where the shade of trees renders them
superfuous, but only where they are
needed. The inside curtains of sum.
mer room are quite generally limited
to the lower sash, where transparent
curtains of some material are fulled
over the window. Curtains thai
hang over the window and exclude the
air when the window is open are not
used in summer sleepiDg-rooms or any.
where in summer, unless there is some
arrangement by which they can be
looped back to let in the air. The wire
screen is used in kitchens and where
nothing else will take its place, but is
not desirable in less utilitarian apart
ments. These screens successfully
cage out flies and other insects, but
shut out an immense amount of air at
night, when the outside air is colder
than the inside and it is desirable tC
admit it. Windows and doors should
be shut from nine or ten o'clock in
the morning until after five o'clock in
order to shut out the heated air. Dur
ing the night as much air as possible
should be admitted indoors, and no
draperies should interfere with it,

ucation have removed my prejudices
and made me tolerant of all the
churches. Observation and experience
have taught me that there are good
people in all the churches, both jew
and Gentle, and if | was far away
from home and in distress sister of
charity would perhaps be my first
visitor. They found my mother when
her parents died of the fever in
Charleston and they took the friend
less orphan to their hearts and cared
for her; and l have no patience with
these preachers, SO called, who slam
der them or their church.
But my good old friend Simon Peter
Richardson is nothing if not original.
He is a strong man every way, and
our people here like him and love him
for his honest sincerity. He preached
here several years and is a man of
convictions. He is rightly named and
would have cut off the other ear OF
Malehus if he had Bsen there. He be-
longs to the church militant, and I
would be willing to take his chances
for the church triumphant. He was
telling me once about a great revival
he attended over on the Peedee river,
and when I asked him how many con-
yerts they took in he said: Nary
one, nary one, my friend; but we
turned II out and purged the church.
The revival was altogether sanitary"
We had great treat at our town
this morning. Col. William j. Bryan,
with his Nebraska regiment, stopped
here for an hour, and they electrified
everybody with their presence. 1t is
by far the best looking regiment we
have seen. The best looking, the best
behaved and the best equipped, and
they love and idolize their colonel.
They feel elevated and refined by his
commanding presence, and wouldn't
do anything that would mortify his
pride or wound his feelings. What
n grand and noble man he is. How
majestic in person; how gentle in man
ners; how inspiring in language and
conversation. How our hearts did
burn within us as he spoke. tell you,
my countrymen, l would trust him
with all my interest In national af-
fairs. He is Daniel Webster and
Henry Clay combined. May the good
Lord keep him and preserve him and
return him safe to his family and 10
the nation. The silver question may
pass away and be forgotten. The
tariff may settle down, but other and
greater issues will grow out of the
war, and the nation will need Bryan
at the helm of government. This is
the way feel about it, and l cannot
help it.-Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitu-

Women as Railway Guards.

Russia is not generally looked upon
as a progressive country, but, so far
as women are concerned, they certain
ly do keep abreast, if not little ahead
of the times. The latest step forward
taken by Russian women is to become
railway guards. With the female por-
ter or signal woman France has al
ready made us acquainted, and a very
quaint figure she cuts. The new field
of labor upon which the more or less
fair Russian has entered seems a little
odd at the first glance, but moments
consideration will show it TO be a not
inappropriate calling after all, since
the duties of the female guard are con-
fined to attendance upon the compart-
ments reserved for ladies'.

CHEAP PORTIERES.
old Ball Gowns, According to This
Writer, Make Up Beautifully as
Decorative Hangings.

Old oall gowns no longer need be
tArown away. A novel use has been
found for them, and several town and
country houses these days have an eff
fective fea ture OF decoration that is
highly pleasing to the women of the
family. The project is to turn these
frocks that have passed the stage of
usefulness as frocks into portieres of
silk, satin and brocade.
For these portieres are nothing
more than strips of these old gowns of
delicate colors. in harmonious order,
and stitched together with some eff
fective embroidery stitch. The most
popular pattern is the "bayadere
stripe" where these strips are ar
ranged in diagonal fashion.
The strips themselves should be
about a quarter of yard wide, and the
stitch joining them that is most in
favor is a feather stitching done by
hand in bright colored embroidery
silks, to correspond in color with the
material.
\ woman who is making these por-
there's has a special bag for her old ball
gowns, and into this they go as soon as
they are discarded. Anyone who has
many evening frocks of season thus
soon gets great variety on hand. She
not only has plain satins, silks and
brocades, but such novel and dainty
materials as silver brocade, cloth of
gold brocade, lowered brocade in
bright colors and brocades embroid-
cred in silver and gilt thread
These are in all tints and tones, too
-pinks, blues, white, green and the
darker shades of these colors Is we'll.
When she opens her bag to make por-
there's an almost unlimited assortment
spreads itself out before her, a stock
collected over months.
There are, of course, few women
who have such stock as is here sug.
gested but there are many who have
sufficient to make such portieres.-N.
