Strikers Numbering zoo Arreste ds and
 Beaten by Cossacks. MOSCOW, Oct. 10.-A large force of artillery had been posted in front of the palace of Governor General Dur novo for the purpose of defending 1t against anticipated attacks.
 A meeting of workmen sent depu- tation to the chief of police to ask per mission for the holding of mass meet ing to discuss questions relating to the strike Notwithstanding that this re- quest was refused crowd of 2,000 persons assembled at o'clock last night in the presence of strong detach- ments of Cossacks and other troops and resolved to continue the strike un- til all the employers had granted the strikers demands.
 The number of persons wounded in the previous disorders has not been definitely established, but it is believed to be about hundred, of which num- Der twenty-five are police or soldiers. One policeman has died of his wounds, and several others, including an officer, are suffering from serious injuries.
 Two hundred strikers were arrested at the Philipoff bakery and taken to the courtyard of police headquarters, where they were severely beaten by Cossack troops before being released. None of the Philipoff bakery strikers were killed.

 The emancipation is complete when it comes, and the remaining part of the journey through sweet country lanes is described with equal fidelity to fact: and he who knows the country has no difi- culty in following the route, despite the license which the author has taken here and there to lengthen the road some what The large town" from which the last part of the journey is made Is mani- festly Wolverhampton, from which the road to Tong is plain; and not so long. as the creator of Nell admits. as to neces- sitate a nights rest on the way. al- though the dignity of the schoolmaster, in whose company the pilgrims were travelling, demanded 1t, in order that the village. which was their destination. might be entered in due state.
 The reader can only now be referred to the Story for very accurate descrip- tion of the village. Dickens has taken a few liberties with the schoolmaster'g house. placing 1t nearer the church than it actually is. and working in some ruins near at hand for effect. The cot tage shown in che illustration was for generations the abode of the village sehoolmaster and parish clerk com bined. aud is now succeeded by an up- to-date sehoolhouse not far away. 1t is known to all as Little Neil's Cottage
 The main interest centers in the church and the churchyard. "It was for such spot the child had wearied in the dense. dark. miserable haunts of la- bor." The many monuments within the church, in the midst of which Nell loved 10 sit and ponder. are historic, for they represent noble families of we'll known name and famous deeds: but they now derive their principal inter- est from the ghostly presence of rthe child" which seems among them still. The death of Little Nell is one of tha most pathetic passages in English literature. and her sleeping place. merely imaginary though t bs. is sacred to all readers of the masters books It is said that Hengis, of old founded the neiRhhorinw castle. and. by sharp trick, gave the place iis name Of Thong" but far more widely known and deeply re- earded than the stately castle is shs humble cottage of the schooinaateF. in which the vinsome child of fiction faded sp her death.

The Land That Dickens So Vividly Pictured for World of Read ers-Resting Place of
 Little Nell.

It was quite incidentally that Charles Dickens became acquainted with the charming village which he afterwards selected as the scene of the closing days of his child-heroine, Little Nell.
 Dickens was on visit to the Mid lands, and was taken to see the historic oak at Boscobel, in which it is said Charles II. hid from his enemies. By a variation of the route on the journey back from Boscobel, Tong was included, and the quiet charm of the old-world village, with it's stately church. quaint timbered houses, and winding lanes, at once captivated the astute writer. who always had a keen eye for beauty, and who was ever on the lookout for suitable settings for his stories.

''In the Land of Cotton" by Daniel L. Hart, author of "The Parish Priest A Rocky Road to Dublin and other popular pieces, entertained a big matinee audience at Poli's thls afternoon.

The cast is well up to the demands of the piece and the scenic environment far above the average. Prices for to-night's per formance are 9, B. 90 and 75 cents.

The experiment. will be made as soon as the hounds can be ob- tained from the Napanoch reformatory, but as thousands of persons have visit ed the farm and secured all the sur rounding country 1t is felt that the chances of success are remote.
