FALL RIVER STRIKE.

Fall River, Mass, July 81
"Unless the operatives agree 20
come into the mills and work under
the proposed IL l-2 per cent reduc-
ton, it is doubtful if any attempt
will be made by the manufacturers
to run the mills before October. !"
This statement was made to- night
by prominent mill treasurer IN
reference to the cotton mills strike
Involving 20, 900 men.
In explaining this attitude, the
gentleman quoted said the manu-
facturers have found that to cone
tinue operations under the old
wage scale would mean loss of
money. They prefer, therefore,
to have the mills closed than to
have them run at loss
No attempt was made to open a
single mill affected by the strike
to-day, aud the strikers ranks re-
main uubrOken.

A RETRACTION.

In the May number of the Ladies
Home Journal we published, in the
article entitled 1.-The Patent Medicine
Curse an analysis of Doctor Pierce S
Favorite Prescription, - in which that
preparation was represented as con-
tincture of opium, and alcohol. I'M
mediately upon publication of the
number suit for damages was in
stituted by the r. " Pierce Medical
Company, of Buffalo, New York, pro-
prietors of the preparation in ques-
tion, against the Curtis Publishing
Company, based upon the claim that
none of the three ingredients was con-
tanned in the medicine
Upon the filing of the suit, we, of
course, Immediately looked into the
published analysis 1t appears that
this particular analysis had been made
if made at ALL fully twenty five years
ago. We, thereupon, employed three
leading chemists in different cities to
make an analysis of the preparation
from bottles bought in the open mar
ket These analysis, one and all,
now show to us conclusively that not
a single one of the ingredients men
toned by us in the analysis quoted
that is, either digitalis, opinm or al
cohol--was contained in the bottles
analyzed We then the President
of this Company and the writer-per-
sonally visited the r. " Pierce Med
ical Company, at Buffalo, and were
there convinced that the officers of
the Company were absolutely truthful
III their claim that not one OF these
injurious ingredients was contained in
Doctor Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
tion. - Naturally since the analysis
we printed has been proved erroneous,
the deductions made in connection
with his preparation were unwarrant
ed and unfounded
Under these circumstances it is now
perfectly plain to us that this maya
zine was unintentionally, but never
theless absolutely misled in making
the original statement, and we hereby,
of our own volition, make this un-
qualified acknowledgement of our mis-
take to The r. V. Pierce Medica
Company and to our readers.
The mistake was honestly made,
but it was mistake.

THE GOATS HOUSE.

Going to the goats house for wool
and coming back shorn, - was the fate
of the rice growers of Vermillion,
Acadia, Cameron and Calcasieu. who
asked of the legislature ali appropria-
tion of $50, 600 to aid them in the com
pletion of locks i'll the Mermentau
river to keep out the salt water from
the gulf. In lieu of this help, which
might have been extended to better ad-
vantage than much of the money that
was appropriated to sundry purposes
there was returned to them full
tledged levee district law with power
to tax in a good many ways, and all
the parephernaIia thereunto appertain-
ing, including board appointed by
the governor.
The bill for the appropriation got
a ground early i'll the action but the
levee district bill made the rifle with
ont hitting either sides or bottom.
1t is making trouble now and last
Saturday there was large meeting at
Gueydan, at which people from the
four parishes interested We're in attend
ancc One thousand dollars was sub
scribed to fight thebill before the courts
and the following memorial was
adopted:

MEAT FAMINE.

New York, July IS. Owing to the
agreement among the 1000 Kosher beef
dealers of this city that they buy no
more beef until high prices created by
the strike shall have again become
normal, all but ten Kosher shops are
reported closed Throughout the East
side and Harlem watchouts from the
Benchman's Union working for the
Association of Kosher Butchers,
watched the shops and reported every
one that was open. The threat had
been made that any one selling be IF
would be arrested under the Sunday
law. Only one Uf ten butchers sus-
pected was arrested. He was dis
charged because it could not be proven
that he sold any meat. He denied
having disposed of any. Three wagon
loads of fresh meat sent TO the East
Side and offered for IL cents, was
spurned by all of the butchers. They
said that if they offered it to the pub
lie at the necessary high prices their
shops would mobbed. The meat was
sent back, but the wagons went the
rounds second it time Offering it for
II cents pound No one took it.
A rate of 61a cents was all the butchers
said they would pay.
This united action of the kosher
butchers enforce the most complete
meat fast ever known on the East Side
