Decrease Of 10 Per Cent in Several
Large New England Factories.

Boston. Nov. 30.-The wages of
about $4,000 cotton textile operatives
were reduced today. Today's addition
brings the total number in New Eng
land who have had their pay cut down
this fall to about 10000 and a cut
which takes effect in New Bedford
next Monday will swell the total to
about $4,000. and compete the gem
eral reduction in the southern New
England cotton mills. The cut down
in the majority of factories averages
~ per cent.
To-day practically every cotton mill
in Rhode Island, where there are
about 2.2O0.0 900 spindles, adopted the
new schedule. In that state nearly
10000 operatives are affected. and
the new order of things will mean a
loss Of fully 100000 weekly in wages.
The cut also became operative in the
mills in Massachusetts, and Connect
lieut. controlled by Rhode Island cap
ital. and employing about 1000 addi-
tional hands.
Reports from the mill district indi-
cate that the new schedules were re-
ceived without any serious protest on
the part of the operatives.

One wife and Three Queens.

A story is told on a Rochester down.
town man who loves a quiet game of
draw poker. Being advised over the
phone the other afternoon that five of
his friends were about to open a jack
pot, he phoned back: "IIow much will
it cost me 10 come in? Seven dollars?
All right. Let some one who Is not
playing draw cards for me. I'll stand
for IT,"
Soon one of the outsiders called him
up and informed him he had three
queens. The business man chuckled
and waited for the betting to reach
him.
Tlng-a-ling rang the telephone.
"Well?" asked the wire player.
IL called YOU began a voice.
"Sorry." cried the business man. 'for
I've got three queens"
"Why, George. this is Mary" ex-
planned the voice.

Once there was an English man
Who couldn't take a joque.
And when he was requested
His head to go and soque
He said to his tormentor:
You're a blasted blarney bloque
To want me to do something
Which would make me croque.'

Perhaps you do" replied the latter,
hastily drawing its tail in, 'but you

Madison, April 16.

MdulsOus ApAh Aos
Senatorial courtesy has been ex-
tended TO the women of Wisconsin.
The senate committee on privileges
and elections yesterday afternoon de-
cided by a unanimous vote to report
for passage Senator O'NeiPs woman
suffrage bill.
Senators Morse, Whitehead, Martin
and Munson voted to recommend the
bill for passage. Senator Miller, the
other member of the committee, was
not present at the committee but is
known TO have favored the bill.
Whether or not the bill has any bet
ter chance of passage now than before
It was sent to the committee is not
known, but judging by the action OF
the senate in other years the bill will
scarcely be treated seriously when ii
comes up for consideration in the SEN
ate. The measure still has long way
to travel before it becomes a law.
The bill is general and inclusive in
its provisions. 1t simply provides that
the elective franchise shall be extend
ed to women to be exercised by them
on the same basis as men.
