MILLS RUNNING OVERTIME.

Fall River Mass, Dec. 1.-THE Metacomet Manu-
featuring Company began to run overtime tonight,
working two shifts of operatives. The reason for
this is that the company has large contracts for
quick delivery and will be unable to fill them I'M
less overtime work is done.
Besides the Metacomet three other mills are run
ming day and night because OF large contracts
ether corporations are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
Of running nights but It is believed that scarcity
of help will prevent such a movement becoming
general The labor unions opposed to night
running and should the managers of local mills
endeavor to make night work part of their regu-
lar schedule steps will be taken toward remedyins
the practice.

TO EXTEND THE BONDING PRIVILEGE.

Washington. Dec. u.-Representative Payne or
New-York prospective chairman Of the Ways ana
Means Committee, to-day introduced In the House
a bill extending the privilege of shipping goods In
bond across the country, without reference 10 the
destination OF the goods At present this free bond
ing privilege is restricted to goods going to the ad-
jacent territory of Canada or Mexico. Mr.. Payne
says the effect OF this has been TO cut on much
transcontinental traffic In goods destined for re-
mote points in Asia and elsewhere which traffic
was taken by the Canadian railroads. HIS Dill
seeks to open the privilege to all countries alike
on the same terms that Canada and Mexico have
enjoyed the system, and Mr. Payne says IL is dls-
tnctly favorable to American transportation inter
ests The bill does not change the status relative
10 the Mexican free zone that portion OF the bill
being a repetition OF the present law.

ANOTHER HOME BEKEAVED.

six-Year-Old 500 of Hon. and Mrs. S. r.
Christie Passes Away.
A particularly sad death occurred in
Dawson Saturday afternoon, when the
spirit of George Pierce, the six-year- old
son Of Hon. and Mis-. S. r. Christie,
passed from its tenement of clay to life
eternal.
The little fellow was stricken with
dyseAtery one week before he died, and
in spite of the best medical skill and the
mInistrations of loving hands his hold
upon life gradually weakened until the
Grim Reaper claimed him as its own.
George Pierce was an unusually bright
and intelligent child, and his death was
a severe blow to his fond parents and
little playmates, with whom he was a
favorile.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev. j.
B. tombstone, were held at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Christie aC half past two
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, after which
the remains of the little loved one were
borne to Cedar Hill cemetery and con-
signed to their last resting place in the
presence of large number of friends
and relatives.
The grlef-stricken parents have the
sincere pathy of hosts of friends in
their sore affection. May the burGen OF
their sorrow be lightened by Him who
said, "Suffer little children to come unto

Ben Bridges, the sixteen-year-old son

tng an indistinct view of him, thought
be was a turkey and fired at him with a
gun loaded with squirrel shot. A cry OF
