For a time the last Of last week it
looked as If Bellows Falls might have
a strike which would affect a number
of employees of the wood pulp depart
ment of the International Paper COM
pany. The employees of the pulp de
partment have felt that they should
have their Saturday nights off the
same as has been granted to the pa
per makers, who stop work at o'clock
Saturday evenings, receiving pay the
same as il they worked until midnight
which had been done in former years.
The company refused to grant 1t and
it was arranged that they refuse to go
to work at O'Clock to the number of
about 40 men. The officials of the
company arranged for filling the
places of the men by new men and by
transferring men from other depart
ments, and the men decided TO post
pone their action until next Saturday
night when they hope to be in better
situation to enforce their demands.
A movement is on foot to try and Sc
cure an advance of wages for the com

THE PRESIDENT
Of the City Council, Wilkes

Rheumatism.

Col. VIM. j. Harvey, president OF
Wilkesbarre's city council, who will
long be remembered for his great work
for the city, was ance a mere physi-
cal wreck, torn in every muscle and
nerve from the frightful pains caused
by rheumatism. He consulted the
best physicians, went abroad, took
mud baths, and almost every known
treatment for the disease. One of
the city officials had had a very sim
liar experience and DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy had cured
him, so he recommended this great
kidney medicine to his friend. and Col
Harvey is today a well man. hale and
hearty. In his own abrupt way he
states his case:

$1,000 PRICE DECIDED UPON.
Old High School Property Will be Sold
to Roman Catholic Diocese.

The sale of the old High school
building TO the Roman Catholic diocese
of Burlington was practically COM
pleted last Saturday. The two COM
mittees chosen for the conducting of
the sale, one of seven representing the
town and one of six representing the
church. met at the Office of H. D.
Ryder Saturday afternoon and after
considerable discussion, price of $751;
600 was decided upon for the property,
satisfactorily to both parties. While
many people had spoken of a much
higher price, the figure decided upon
seems to meet with the approval of
the larger part of those who have
carefully considered the matter. The
committee representing the town
placed a proviso upon the sale that
in case the location should cease to be
used for school purposes the town
should have the right TO repurchase
it at some equitable price based upon
the present selling price, taking into
account any appreciation or deprecia-
ton of values that may have taken
place.

Embarrassing Condition.

Washington, April 29.-The state
department has had some correspond
ence with the government of Mexico
respecting the case of ex-CouncilmaI
Kratz, who is a fugitive from justice
from St. Louis, charged with bribery,
The man, at the departments in
stance, has been arrested, and is
locked up at Guadalajara, but as the
offense with which he is charged is
not one of the o~ffenses named in the
treaty Is subject to ~extradition, the
department has been trying to pro
cure his delivery to the Missouri au.
thorities as a matter of comfy. A
considerable obstacle has been IN.
%countered in the shape of a polite
suggestion of the Mexican authorities
that they will do this, but only on
the understanding that the United
States government will r%eciprocate in
kind when occasion arises. This is an
embarrassing condition, impossible Of
fulfllment, for no American court
could deliver a fugitive from Mexican
justice if his offense is not set out in
the extradition treaty. 1t is thought
that an effort will be made to secure
the punishment of Kratz by Mexican
courts if he can not be returned to
Missouri.

CONGRESSMAN CUMMINGS,

Aspect.

Baltimore, Nd, April 29.-The seri-
of the condition of Congress-
man Amos j. Cummings, of New York,
who is a patient at the Church Home
and 1nfirmary, in this city, was aug
mented yesterday, by the develop
ment of double pneumonia. Several
days ago pneumonia developed in one
lung, and an examination yesterday
by the physicians revealed the fact
that the other had become slightly
affected.
Mr.. Cummins is slightly delirious at
times, but he is still able to take
considerable nourishment, and he
rests well. The attending physicians
have by no means lost hope of his
recovery. The latest complication
has, however, given his illness a very
serious aspect.

SOL SMITH RUSSELL DEAD.
Actor Passes Away Among
Friends at Washington.

Washington, April 29.-Sol Smith
Russell, the actor, died at the Rich
mond hotel in this city at 2:10 yes
terday afternoon, of perpetual hic-
cough. Mr.. Russell had been ill for
some time from this malady, but dur
ing the past few days the disease
took a serious turn, and since early
morning the end had been hourly ex-
pected. Those present at the bed
side of the veteran actor were Mrs.
Russell, Miss L. Alice Russell, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick G. Berger and Edward
/. Rosenfeld. Mr.. Russell was "a
years old.
Deceased will be buried in Rock
Creek cemetery near this city.
The funeral services will take place
Wednesday afternoon from the resi-
dence of Mr.. Berger, a brother-in-law
of Mr.. Russell, to whose home the
remains will be removed from the
hotel to-day. Mr.. Russell was an
Episcopalian, and the burial service
of that church will be read over his
body by Rev. j. B. Perry, rector of
st. Andrews Episcopal church of this
city.
Mr.. Russell was one of the best
known comedians on the American
stage. He was a native of Missouri
having been born in Brunswick in
1S4S. He took to the stage early in
life, doing his first really %pretentIous
work with the Berger Family Swiss
Bell Ringers, in which he appeared in
character sketches. With the dis.
bandment of the organization about
twenty-five years ago, Mr.. Russell be.
gan his regular theatrical career, and
with "Edgewood Folks made an in
Simultaneous success as a comedian.
which never tagged until it became
necessary for him to leave the stage
during an engagement in Chicago
three years ago. His name is asso.
ciated with Peaceful Valley" "a
Bachelors Romance "a Poor Rela.
ton" and other plays of lesser note.
Numerous kilograms of coincidence
have been received from many parts
of the country, and a dispatch from
New York says that a party of init.
mate friends will be in Washington
on Wednesday to attend the funeral.
Mr.. Russell leaves a widow and two
children, Miss L. Alice Russell, and
a son, Robert f., Russell, of Minneapo-
lis. Mr.. Russell's death followed an
illness of more than two years. While
his condition was so serious as to
prevent the continuance of his work
on the stage, it was not until last
Thursday that the end was seen to
be near, and his friends and relatives
gave up hope. On Thursday morning
he was able to go out for a short
time and, as usual during good wealth
er, was wheeled about the parks in
his chair. His figure had been a
familiar one at the local theaters
during his illness, particularly at the
matinee performances. He seemed to
take especial pleasure in witnessing
the work of Joseph jefferson, for
whom he had a great friendship;
Stuart Robson, Nat Goodwin and
William ii. Crane. He was usually
wheeled to and from the theaters in
an invalid chair. He was considered
one of the wealthiest actors on the
American stage, his real estate hold
ings including many properties in
Minneapolis. The total value of the
estate is said to be more than $2,000,-
