 New York, Nov 3O.-In sermon on ,"Women'' Rev Dr. N. F. Hills has sounded a warning note to young men in business life. If you don't want women to outstrip you in the indus trial race" he said, "and compel you to come to them when you want 50 cents. yod better stop drinking poor whiskey and quit gambling at race tracks and in bedrooms.
 Women" continued Dr Hills, Sin spite of mans refusal to give them the rights and privileges to which they are entitled, are to-day in 145 branches of business and in instances showing more ability than the men.
 ''In one of the greatest financial in- stitutions of this city not long ago, a we'll known man, drawing a salary of $2I,0O0 a year suffered a nervous col lapse. The directors selected the di- rection of a young woman who for ten years had been the stenographer, She, the directors told me, has done better work than the man she sue ceeded and is doing it for but $10,000 a year.
 "In fifty years the women will know more than the men. They have more time to read and study and they are improving their time. Eventually they will vote and tell the men for whom they shall vote.
 Eventually all the universities will be co. educational and the women will carry off all the prisoners"

Thirteen players were severely injured, some of them being disabled for life.

 Inomas Kenny, Stephen Ball, William Costello and Michael J. Ryan.
 Attorney Kellogg stated to the cesszf before sentence was passed that vsrfje the state was not vindictiya he thought sufficient punishment oueA* x, De imposed to teach others who may De inclined as the accused were on the night of the assault that they can not violate the peace without being punished for it.
 Attorney O'Neill, speaRinq for the boys, said they were of good characfer and were undoubtedly led away. It would be too bad to .imprison them. It would ruin their future unouesfion- ably. MT O'NeiIl pictured the scenes on the streets the night of the riot. He said there must have been at least 15- GOO people on the streets and vel he had no doubt that one in a thousand of the crowd really participated in the riot The verdict while as light as III. could evidently have been made. the accused were the scapegoats of al crowd. The boys were hardly to blame; they were simply carried away by their Impulses.
 The court said there was no ques. ton but that the verdict was proper Wolcott's story was corroborated all along the line. even though it was proven he had a bad reputation. Ther8 was no doubt that the accused were drawn into the crime through associ- ation and the feeling at the time. If they had maintained the story they had already told instead Of leaving the state because they feared their tesfi- mony would be fatal to the accuseds in the other trial. That was very welt known, yet the boys were sent out of the state. Perhaps they did not ap< preciate the enormity of such step It is evident they did not. Yet they go one step further. They made certain statements and they refused to testify on the ground that it might incrimin- ate them. Now they take the stand and two Of them deny the notes taken by Judge Peasley at the trial in the lower court. Therefore they cannot be treated as If they had behaved dif- ferently. The law is not yindictive. but the community must understand that the courts will administer the law and that crime shall not exist in this state without being severely pun ished. The court will take into con-G sideration what they did. Also their youth and their good reputation up t0 the time of this crime. The sentence of the court in each of the cases ig that he be imprisoned in the cOrntys jail foD ten months.
 Scarcely had the last two words been uttered than Miss Annie Quinn. sister of the accused boys of that name, exclaimed +Ohr' and burst into tears. Judge Wheeler glanced at her a moment and then left the bench. Miss Quinn became hystericaI and had to be removed from the room. The door had not closed upon her when Mrs Thorpe collapsed. The boys wers then removed to the cells in the base ment
 Notice of appeal will be filed. Court adjourned to December 12.
 The cost of the trial goes with the verdict. which means about $1O0 on each boy.
 The reward offered, $200 in each case, will go to Wolcott, which means that he will make $1,6OO out of the af- fair.

CENTRAL FEDERATED UNION
Decided Not to Enter Politics to Ob- tain Legislation.

New York, Nov 3O.-Delegates of the Central Federated union, representing more than 15O,OO0 workers in the mis- cellaneous trades, have decided not to enter politics as means to obtain leg islation. The movement thus checked was put in motion last Sunday at the weekly meeting of the federation. It was found to be impracticable to form any sort of combination among the numerous political beliefs represented by the delegates that could even serve as a committee to bring forward reso- lutions on the subject. Furthermore, politics was declared to be outside the sphere of the federation.
 It is asserted by friends of the scheme that if the New York delegates had been able to launch it successfully, it would have been taken up in Chi cago, Boston, Philadelphia and Cleve- land.

COTTON TEXTILE WORKERS.
Another Crowd Received Cut in
 Wages To-day.

About Sixty-four Thousand Operatives
 Have Now Had Their Pay Cut-New Schedule Received by Workers With
 out Any Protest. .
 Boston, Nov 3O.-The wages of about o2,OOO cotton textile operatives were re- duced to-day. To-day's addition brings the total number in New England who have had their pay cut down this fall 10 about 64,OO0, and the cut which takes effect in New Bedford next Mon- day will swell the total to about 75, GOO and complete a general reduction in southern New England cotton mills. The cut down in the majority of fac tories averages 10 per cent, although in many Blackstone valley town. 1t is stated 1t ranges from to IS per cent, according to the nature of the work.
 To-day practically every cotton mill in Rhode Island, in which state there are about 100000 spindles, adopted the new schedule. Tn that state nearly 10000 operatives are affected. and the new order of things will mean a loss of fully $2O,O0O weekly in wages. The cut also became operative in mills in Massac chusetts and Connecticut con- trolled by Rhode Island capital and employing about 1000 additional hands.
 The reports from the mill districts indicate that the new schedules were received without any serious protest on the part of the operatives. The ac- ceptance of the cut by the great body of Tall River hands largely influenced those elsewhere and 1t was generally recognized that strike at, this time would be unwise and without any good effect
