Incident of Browning.

It was at the height OF Brownings
fame that there occurred little incident.
narrated by Mr.. Couson Kernahan,
which showed that simplicity and kind
ness are not OF necessity destroyed by
prosperity and the appreciation OF the
world A certain writer at that time
young and unknown, was introduced 10
Browning by n friend. Stammering from
nervousness he attempted 10 express
his admiration of the poets work To
one whom the world united to praise, the
appreciation OF a mere boy was a small
thing but so natural and simple was the
poet that the sincere tribute of the
young man caused him real pleasure,
which he did not try to conceal.
Some time afterward the same young
writer received an invitation 10 Il great
literary function. Browning was present,
surrounded by "A circle OF the most dis
tingulshsd men and women OF England.
Presently he caught sight OF the young
ster standing awkwardly by 1he door.
Turning his back on the great folk,
Browning made his way TO his humble
admlrer, called him by name, and ex-
pressed pleasure at this opportunity or
renewing acquaintance.
WAS that realty Browning with the
white hair and beard?" said a lady who
had been standing by.
''Why. by the way nc spoke one would
think he would be better pleased 10 be
taken for an ordinary gentleman than
for a great poet et"--EXchange.

ONLY 8
SIGN THE
AGREEMENT
Fall River Cotton Men Slow
In Moving for q Reduction
Of Wages.

Fan River, Mass, May q. Up 10 noon
today # was said that but six agents
representing eight corporations had sign
ed the paper put in circulation yesterday
for the signatures OF the mill managers
binding them to am agreement TO reduce
wages 10 per cent on June and so far
as the narrow goods mills were concern
ed, TO make further curtailment Of
production.
From what, can be learned this move-
ment has one or two large owners of
rnift stocks for It's sponsors affa-t ffese Haeas'
are seeking 10 force the hands OF the
manufacturers mainly FOR the purpose
OF effecting reduction in wages,
II is q significant fact that out OF the
eight corporations that have endorsed
the proposition. the men in question are
among the heaviest OF the stockholders
and are directors I'm most OF them. Again
some OF these mills will not be affected
by the curtaiiment program since they
do not manufacture the style cf goods.
the output OF which Il Is designed 90 re-
strict.
n is an open secret that the fine goods
mill managers are lighting shy of compro-
missing themselves on a cut down agree
ment. unless they have some assurance
that the operatives would accept reduc-
| ton of wages at this time, without resis-
| stance.
According 20 the sentiments expressed
| by the officials of the labor organizations
| there Is little doubt as 90 what the action
| of the mill workers would be. They would
| inaugurate a general strike and in that
| event the fine goods mills would be hung
| up with the rest, involving TO them the
J loss OF n profitable business.
Among the managers or the print cloth
| mills IL Is stated today that there are
| also a number of agents who are not
| in sympathy with the policy of the pro-
| posed agreement and are likely 10 Withhold
| their names from it. lnasmuch as II pro-
! vides for an attack on the pay rolls united
| action on the part of every corporation
| is essential TO the success of the project.
IL would be almost impossible for part
\ OF the mills 70 continue I'm operation here
| on a lower wage schedule than some OF its
| neighbors are paying Another and AS
usual an unknown factor I'm the occasion

On the second Monday of January
the annual term of the Superior court
will open in this city, when a number
of case appealed from the local courts
will be heard.
one of the important cases appealed
is that of Conrad Schroeder against
the Scranton Gas and Water company,
Il suit to test the legality of the ordi-
nance passed by the city councils fix
ing water rates in the city of Scranton.
Judge Edwards decided against Schroe-
der. finding that the councils had no
power to pass such an ordinance. From
this decision Schroeder has taken an
appeal. The case is one of great i'm
portance not only to the people of this
city, but to water companies of the
state in general.
There is also an appeal in the case
of the Commonwealth ex rel Martin p.
Flynn against Joseph A. Scranton,
county treasurer: an action begun to
determine the amount to be paid for
liquor licenses in this city. The decision
in this court was against Flynn, who
maintained that $3.50 was the fee to be
paid here. The county treasurer de-
manded s1,1O0, and the court sustained
his position. Other cases appealed are:

cember 81. While Mr.. Thompson's
play in itself will undoubtedly draw
out a large assemblage, yet the magnet
OF the greatest drawing power will be
in the person of Estelle Loomis.
youngest daughter Of +. E. Loomis,
the we'll known attorney, who WILL on
this occasion. make her first "at home"
appearance since taking up the stage
as a profession.
Miss Looms is a favorite in Scranton
society and will appear as Nance,
daughter of Lem Ransom, a reformed
convict The part calls for much en-
otion and pathos, and Miss Loomis'
rendering of it will be in the nature
of a surprise even to those who have
known of her dramatic gifts. Her ad-
vancement in her chosen work has
been rapid.
