There are some doubts as to whether
the Textile union will send back 10 their
homes any more men who are imported
20 this city by agents OF the company,
for there are those who believe that the
American woolen company is having
these men sent here for the express pur-
pose Of reducing the weavers' funds.
II is a positive fact that one man
in ten OF the men who are brought here
are capable OF doing good work. and GER
tainly no man who had the least re-
spect for himself and was capable OF
earning on honest living would. for one
moment, dwell IN the shanty that has
been provided for them by the company
This brings TO mind the fact that the
board OF health should be called upon 10
look over this place, and decide II II Is
for the best interests OF the community 10
allow so many persons TO live under one
roof and under such conditions. and
move in this direction may be made by
someone II the Textile union does not
According 10 authentic reports. the men
who have been sent here by agents are
huddled together like so many cattle. In
stead OF human beings.
They are not allowed TO leave the build
Ing and are escorted 20 and from the mill
more az convicts than free men.
The local merchants are now waking
up TO the fact that this class OF men In
a detriment to the community. and
move on their part will do much TO abate
this outrage.
The business men could and should soon
enlist the sympathy OF the public at
large, not so much TO help the weavers,
who are flghting a hard battle, but for
the good OF all.
ENLIGHTENED BOSTON LADY.
Webster avenue can boast OF as many
we'll educated people as any other thor
oughfare In the annexed district and
they are just as keen and witty as any
where else.
Yesterday there came from Boston a
young lady 10 pay a visit 70 a family on
this avenue. and in the family Is a men,
ber who TO all outward appearances would
be taken for common. everyday young
man.
Early In the evening the young man and
the young lady from Boston were sitting
on the stoop OF the house. and she I'm
true Boston style began TO tell Of the
beautiful heaven, the grass and the
flowers.
The young man allowed her TO go on
with her grandiloquent remarks and
when she had concluded he said: THE
bulbs Of those flowers you refer to are
dandellons. the leaves OF which II pulled
when young. well washed and boiled with
a piece OF good fat pork make the best
green's you ever ate"
Frank" Mother came TO the rescue
Of the young woman.
DAsTARDLY ACT.
A well dressed man in a stylish turnout
committed a dastardly act at the corner
OF Webster and Pocasset avenues last
evening by running down a small boy
who was riding on a bicycle.
The carriage struck the boys cycle in
such a manner as to throw the wheel
into the air, and the many who witnessed
the accident supposed that the boy was
badly injured. Happily. however. be was
not, but the man in the carriage whipped
up his horse and drove off at a rapid
pace: In fact so fast that q bicyclist who
happened TO be near was unable L catch
up with him.
STILL WITH STRIKERS.
Yesterday there appeared In this col
umn an item TO the effect that one OF the
striking weavers had returned to Fletch-
er's mills. but today It is a pleasure to
state. that this man. has thought the
matter over or else been forced to
change his mind. for he is now numbered
among those who say, I'VE will win or
fall by the wayside. before We will run
two looms"
This incident has been the cause OF
much rejoicing among the weavers.

Just what has became OF 90 or more
pounds OF dynamite from ledge In this
vicinity is puzzlng the public and others

made for this explosive.

Mary Bromly. OF 9S2 Gladstone avenue,
was one OF the persons on this earth that
believes that thera are just as honest men
who go about mending umbrellas, etc,
as there are In any other trade or calling,
but she has now changed her mind and
will undoubtedly refuse to be convinced
to the contrary unless the fellow who
repaired an umbrella yesterday comes
back and gives her the change for a
bran new IS bill that she rendered him.
