STRIKERS TO BE STARVED OUT.
Only One End Forseen at the New
Bedford Mills.

New Bedford, Mass, March THE end
of the seventh week of the strike in this
city finds the operatives much disap,
pointed because affairs are not going to
suit them. The funds of all the unions
except the spinners have been reduced to
almost nothing and even the union mem
bers have to depend upon outside relief
to a great extent. There is no question
that unless there is some discussion and
decision one way or the other the other
unions outside of the weavers will meet
and take action of some kind. 1t has
become common talk that this action will
be taken.
The collections from the outside last
week did not amount to any more than
they did during the week before, when
less than $1,000 was raised
This amount is only drop in the buc-
ket for 5000 to 10000 idle operatives and
under the circumstances only one end
can be seen-that the strikers will have
to return to work.

for immediate use The government of
Spain seems to have funds, for it is under
stood to be paying large part OF the pur-
chase money in cash, giving good security
for the balance, these being the only terms
upon which the Armstrong; would deal,
Some weeks ago Spain attempted to
purchase ships and supplies in England on
credit from prominent firms having close
relations with the government, but, after
INQUIRIES, the firms refused credit. Since
then Spain has raised funds from unknown
sources. Diplomats in London express
the belief that French financiers are help
ing the Spanish government.
1t is known that Spain is trying to pur-
chase three other ships being built by the
Armstrong;, but she has not yet succeed
ed in making the bargain, consequently
there is still time if the United States
wishes to forestall her.

REV. MR.. LUHRs' HoUsEWARMlNe

The cosy parsonage of ST. Johannes
EVANGELICAL Lutheran Church was dedi-
Gated last evening. 1t faces on North
street and is numbered 153. 1t is in the
rear of st. Johannes Church, which faces
on Summit avenue. Pastor J. c. Luhrs,
is very proud of the parsonage, SO are
the members of the church, through
whose efforts principally it was built. A
number of German pastors were present
and look part in the "house warming
Ameng these were Pastor Herman
Schoppe, of Union Hill; Pastor Sanft. of
GreenviIle: Pastor Rabbo, of Lafayette;
Pastor Wehber, of West Hoboken.
The Rev. Mr.. Holten was also present
and entertained all present with an in
teresting account of how he built a par
sonage 10xI2 feet in dimensions, out in
South Dakota, some years ago, and how
much improvement there was in the
second parsonage he built out there.
The programme Of the Rev. Mr.. Luhrs'
mouse warming, last night included
songs by the choir and reciting of the
Apostles Creed in concert. Refreshments
were served in the Sunday School room
near by. Pastor Lnhrs was the recipient
of a $50 purse from his congregation. He
also received a number of presents in the
shane Of furniture which was to adorn
his new home. These included a hand

consent to do.
Mr.. young goes on to say that his IS an
trolley companies do or are expected 70
do in any city, and he knocks out, by
references to the parties most in interest
the claims of the goo-goo element that
in Paterson and Brooklyn companies are
expected to do more than this. He ex-
pressly establishes the fact that wherever
car companies sprinkle their tracks, the
city provide the water for the purpose
Mr.. Young, incidentally, gets in a cruel
dig about the comparatively unswep con-
dition of our main thoroughfares.
Mr.. Young's position appears to be
reasonable-even liberal. The readiness
of the company to incur the trouble and
expense of sprinkling cannot be disputed.
1t is matter of record. The demand that
it should buy the water for the purpose
Is simply grotesque. 1t is asking the
company to pay for the privilege of doing
the public a favor.
