and lie has expressed a desire to end
his DAYS in his old home.
Eiglity-two years old. very feeble, al
most blind and his memory entirely
gone. It is like a little child gazing for
the first time on some wonderful thing
Reich can no longer remember for
what crime he was sent to prison. He
hardly knew his daughter when she
met him at the prison doors to bring
him back to the city. He could recall
that he had had daughter and a son
too, but further than that he knew
nothing He could not remember that
his daughter, who now is married and

tial evidence in 1883 of having killed
his wife. He was sentenced to be

COTTON STRIKE BEGUN.
Order to Fall River Operatives censr.
ally Ohcyed.

Order TO Fall River Operatives Gsner-
ally obeyed.
Fan River, Mass., july % The
strike order issued by the Fall River
Textile Council, calling for upward Of
10000 operatives to remain away from
the mills in protest against a reduction
Of 12l3 per cent in wages, has become
effective ana the response was as gen
eral as the labor leaders had predicted.
In the thirty-seyen mills involved in
the agreement to reduce wages but a
few, comparatively, of the usual force
went to work. 1t is estimated that not
more than 800 entered all the mill
gates, in place Of the tide Of operatives
which ordinarily sweeps through the
various entrances.
The whistles blew at the usual time,
the engineers were at their places, but
there We're no operatives, ut least not
enough to operate the mills, and prac-
tically every one involved in the trou-
bic had to shut down. The strikers,
who in some instances had assembled
near the mills, dispersed quietly and
silence settled over the usually tumul-
tuous business district.
Both sides admit that this is the be-
ginning Of one Of the most determined
contests which Fall River has ever
seen. The manufacturers maintain
that they have tried every plan which
they could think Of to avoid a reduc
ton in wages and took that final step
only when driven to do so TO save
their business. On the other hand, the
operatives say that the conditions af
fecting cotton manufacture here are
such that a reduction in wages is NO
more a remedy than such step would
be in attempting to prevent the raw
ages Of the boil weevil.
