One OF the prettest and most modest
young ladies who is connected with the
millinery department of one OF the large
department stores down town laughed so
heartily in a Union avenue car last
evening while on her way 10 her home

When she left the store she had just
nickel which she tied up In her
handkerchief and then tucked the hand
kerchief into her muff The car was
crowded and she was obliged, TO stand
and the handkerchief slipped out of her
mutt and fell into the folds OF a young
mans oyercoat. The young man, at the
time was reading newspaper pre-
sumably TO keep his seat. and in turn
ing his paper over he espied corner OF
the white handkerchief
He at once began to squirm in the seat
and the young lady noticed his actions,
for the young fellow acted to her Just
as II he thought that some OF his under
wear had worked It's way out over the
waist band of his trousers. At any
rate the young man tucked the hand
kerchief. containing the nickel upder his
clothing, and when the conductor called
upon the young lady for her fare she
'1ughted so heartily that she could not
answer and did so until she left the car.
The story was 50 good that she had TO

MAY BE TROUBLE.
II looks as II there might be trouble
In the mill OF the American Woolen COM
pany on Valley street. For year or
more the weavers who took part in the
late strike complain of not being able 10
make more than $3.50 per week. while
those who took their places at that time
can make anywhere from so to sls per
week.
The reason, SO some of the old time
weavers say IL is because the work that
they get Is bad, and that OF the Poles,
Italians, etc. is OF the best At different
times these old weavers have called the
attention OF the overseer OF the depart
ment 20 this fact, and the reply has al
ways been that the next would be bet
ter" Yesterday a delegation called upon
the overseer and told him that II was
about time that the better class OF work
came along. and IL the said weavers tell
| the truth, the overseer said that those
who took the place OF he strikers were
TO have the best work as dong as II lasted
and that these orders came from head
quarters.
The weavers are to hold q meeting Sun
chances Of a strike are small, for the
weavers do not think that they have
strength enough TO cut any figure. but

III reports are true the smaller markets

have I'm the past, for report has Ii that
the Olneyville branch OF the Public Mar

iast few years has been altogether too
small for them. When the change D.
made still larger line OF goods will be
put In and will In every respect be made
equal to the main store.
The worst feature for the little dealers
about Olneyville will be that a system
OF free delivery will be installed. and this
will attract a line OF trade that this con-
Germ has not been able to reach, for there
are thousands here who will not carry
home packages.

representative OF The News. but he
