Wage Agreement with Fall River Cot
ton Manufacturers.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Nov. A.-Repre-
sentatives of the Textile Council and a spe-
cial committee Of the mule manufacturers
entered into an agreement at to-day's con-
ference which will, when finally adopted by
operatives and employees, result in a definite
settlement of the present wag agitation
and ultimately, when a sliding scale is
agreed to, will make wage disputes in this
city a thing Of the past. An advance of 5
per cent. is offered to the operatives, to go
into effect Dec. II, and both Of the parties
agree to take up in good faith the cons. dera-
ton of a sliding scale of wages, which must
be agreed to within a reasonable time. OPP
eratives and manufacturers hope by means
OF this scale to place the industrial condi-
tions on such a firm footing as to guarantee
steady employment to labor at fair wages
and reasonable assurance to the manufac-
turers that they may enter into contracts
for a period of at least six months Without
fearing a labor disturbance. Provision is
also made for a settlement in conference
of any question which may arise on either
side. 1t is very likely that the Manufacture
ers' Association and the various labor or
ganizations will ratify the agreement en-
tered into by their representatives. and agf-
tation which has been going on for over a
month may be now considered as definitely
settled.

HsiOn mt Walkesbarre

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Nov. 2t.-The pa
rading and rioting of the wives and other
feminine relatives of the striking miners al
Nanticoke was resumed there to-day, and
before long resulted in the arrest of che of
their number for throwing peppe in the
eyes of one of the deputies. The excitement
incident to their marching last night had
worked the women up to such a pitch that
the strikers were entirely unable to re-
strain them, and by daylight hundreds of
the women were marching the streets OF the
town. A number OF miners working about
the collieries were captured by them and
the deputies were forced TO charge the line
of women in order to recapture the men.
The women gave battle TO the deputies and
a number of hard bio US were exchanged.

A Theatrical Innovation.
New York Evening Sun.

new 1OIk Evening sun.
One OF C~hicago's cleverest women has re-
Gently introduced an innovation into one
OF the theaters OF that city that has proved
a decided success. She achieved IT by the
introduction of a charming service of ice
cream and fruit punches during the entr'
acts OF the performance. 1t is so managed
that 1t rather adds TO than detracts from
the aesthetic quality of the entertainment.
A limited number of pretty girls in violet
cashmere gowns. sheer, white muslin
aprons, coming nearly to the knees. and
fuffed into butterfly effects at the shoul-
ders. with Alsatian BOWS of white satin
ribbon on their heads, pass quietly down
the aisles bearing silver trays upon which
are dainuly arranged champagne glasses
OF creams and ices.
These are not only OF delicious quality.
but are OF pretty and contrasting tints,
n grouped with some idea as TO their
color effects. Projecting from either side
or the glasses are thin. triangular pieces
OF cake. also In delicate tints, which add
10 the decorative character OF the ensemble,
while providing a delicious accompaniment
for the ices.
This charming service is not only an in
novation in the theater into which II has
been introduced. but Is new 70 Chicago, and
quite unknown In other cities of America.
More than thirty years ago the custom OF
serving some refrsshmeut was introduced
into the theaters OF Paris, and was found
10 add so much TO the general dash. sparkle
and oriliiancy of the occasion, that IL has
never been abandoned there. England and
Germany soon followed I'm the wake of
Paris, although their service lacks some
thing OF the Nghtness and grace that so
invariably characterize French methods.
The English are rather inclined TO adhere
to their national beverage, tea. when at
the theater. From the way that this new
departure has been received in Chicago IL
would really seem to have met a long-felt
want. Considering the nation OF ice con-

seems strange that this delightful custom

Old Couple Cruelty Treated by n Band

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Nov. 2I-Joseph
Earle. aged eighty-fve years. and his wife,
over eighty years. were tortured and robbed
at Glencoe early yesterday morning by a
band of masked men. The old people were
cruelty beaten and the soies of their feet
were burned with torches before they would
make known the hiding place of their
money. The culprits obtained over $500.
Both Earle and his wife are in a precarious
condition, their advanced age making re-
ccvery doubtful. Three years ago they
were robbed, and the thieves, who were
never detected, are believed TO have been
the same PERSONS who committed yester-

"a Colonial Girl" at EnEltsh's.
The finished production of "A Colonial
Girl given at English's Opera House last
night by Mr.. Howard Gould and a COM
pany OF the greatest excellence resembled
a sumptuous feast at which the major por-
ton OF the guests are absent. Here was a
dramatic feast such as is rarely furnished,
and but a mere handful of people present
to enjoy It. II a reason for this should be
sought one is not far away. This is the
day of dramatized versions Of popular
novels. and "a Colonial Girl does not hap
pen to rest upon such a foundation. 1t is
simply a great play Of one of the most stir
ring eras in the worlds history, when the
little American colonies were manfuny
struggling for independence against the In
vading hordes of George III and against
men Of their own household, as we'll. The
character OF Godfrey Remsen. at once pa
triot and spy, Is one that is replete with
dramatic possibilities. Never for an instant
did Mr.. Gould fall short Of the high ideal
set by E. H. Sothern, and 1t may be doubted
IL he did not. at times, surpass even that
consummate actors work. Mr.. Gould is
very young yet and great things may be
safely predicted for him.
He shows rare Judgment in surrounding
himself with an almost hawless cast. Miss
Eleanor Carr IS the only member OF the
company that appeared in "A Colonial
Girl with Mr.. Sothern last year. For the
most part she duplicated her excellent work
OF last season. The rest are new in the
play, but all are good. There. are two little
women with Mr.. Gould, Grace Freeman
and Helen King Russell, that may be sure
of the frlendliest kind Of a reception when
they next visit Indianapolis. They are not
only sweet and pretty. but assume their re-
SDeCttVe roles with the ufmOSf nafura mess
Miss Freemants picture of the sudden, yet
subtle, transition of a young girl to ripe
womanhood the instant love enters her
virgin breast, was one of the most ex-
quisite bits or acting that could be imag-
ined. Robert ConnesS as Captain Lovelace,
Albert Perry as Giles, Benjamin Monteith
as Jack Osborne and Charles c. Brandt as
Colonel Carteret, all deserve high praise.
Several climaxes that approached the thrill
ing in their intensity occurred, the one at
the close OF the last act bringing out spon-
famous cheers from the upper part of the
house. The scene in which Godfrey Remsen
Umpersonated by Mr.. Could appears so
cleverly made up TO resemble Captain
Beaufort as to defy detection, and thereby
is enabled to shield his wife from the in
suits OF Captain Lovelace, Is handled with
great possibilities. The play is not given
adequate setting, most of the scenery APP
pearing travei-worn, but that detail was
lost sight of entirely. IL Mr.. Gould had
made his engagement for two nights in
stead of one he would assuredly have re-
couped whatever loss he may have gus
tanned last night. He simply caught the
will not happen a~gain-at least not in his
case.
