Mcintosh will succeed Odell Williams
as Squire Bartlett i'm sway Down East" 4"
The role Of this stern father is about
as foreign to his own personality as
anything he has ever attempted in the
way Of stage characterization. The
squire is q typical New Hampshire
farmer, well nigh on to sixty" a
pious Godfearing man, with a Yankees
sense OF humor, but always stern and
authoritative in his most genial mo-
ments. Mr.. Mcintosh in private life is
a rather languid and exceedingly swell
young siX-fOCter, with his trousers
creased with mathematical nicety and
turned up in all SORTS of weather. He
is a Princeton man, and "a dozen years
ago WAS the champion intercollegiate
athlete. Upon the stage he "tackles''
a part with the same energy that he
was went TO display upon the football
field. Such contrasting parts as Taffy
In "Trilby," and the old Southern
blacksmith in "In Mlzzoud" have

JUDGE AND VEsTRYMEN

Your note concerning the judicial
timber furnished by the vestry of St
Pauls Protestant Episcopal Church
was interesting reading, ," said a Sussex
county man to the Wayfarer, but you
lost sight of the manner in which one
family contributed not only the vestry-
men, but also the judges. Peter ROB
inson, associate judge, was a son of
Peter Robinson, one of the justices of
Sussex county, appointed in 1892, and
who served the state for some time.
Judge Edward Wootten married a
daughter of Associate Judge Peter
Robinson. Chief Justice Alfred p.
Robinson was a grandson Of Associate
Judge Peter Robinson, and ex-Asso-
ciate Judge David T. Marvel married
the great-grand-dau of Associate
Judge Peter Robinson. Thus, for near
ly three-quarters Of a century, the Rob-
lnson family has figured not only in the
vestry of ST. Pauls Church, but also
on the bench of the state.

THRITY-FIvE THOUSAND INVOLVED.
Southern Competition the Chief Factor I'm
the Pending Cut.

Providence, Il. l., Jan. 3.-After de-
| laying their decision to the last in the
hope that in the meantime conditions
might change SO as to render the step
unnecessary, the agents OF the leading
cotton manufacturing corporations in
this state have decided TO reduce wages.
The cut-down will average about II
per cent 1t will take effect Jan. II.
and notices to that effect will be posted
in the mills Of b. B. & r. Knight, the
Lonsdale company, the Manville, Social
and other companies controlled by the
Lippitt's, and the smaller corporations
throughout the state. Eastern Con-
necticut corporations will take similar
action, and mills operating about 2.OO0,-
900 spindles in this state and Massa-
chusetts and the earnings of between
$4,000 and $4,000 operatives will be af-
fected by this decision of the Provi-
dence agents.
Many firms oppose the reductions,
and would have favored running short
er hours. but they say they cannot af-
ford to keep up the cost Of production
and then curtail the output when the
other mills are turning out the regular
quantity at 10 per cent. less cost The
exact amount Of the reduction is not
fixed yet, but it will be on the same
line as in other cities Colonel r. II. l.
Goddard in discussing the cut-down
said: Il should have preferred to
keep the wages where they are and
run shorter hours for. say four months:
but as the rest decided TO run for some
time we shall be obliged to do the
same. No doubt the first action taken
In Fall River was largely due TO south
ern competition. The low wages and
standard Of living with the longer
hours there makes ii very hard for us
to compete with them.
Robert knight said: 1--WE have got
to do 1t to put ourselves on a level with |
the other manufacturers. We are op- |
posed to il, and do not believe it is |
going to better conditions very much. |
1t Will only bring us 10 per cent. nearer :
the southern manufacturers. This is
the key to The whole situation, and |
where today the southern mills are sold
up and can go on making and selling at
a profit we are carrying stocks, and |
when we sell cannot get back a new
dollar for an old one. The legislatures
have done much harm in the north by !
interfering. and they have attempted
more than they had any business TO
and change will have TO be made in
present laws or laws Will have to be
made in the south to regulate the
working hours there"
