The Fall River Strike is Over.

Boston, January 1S.-The strike of
cotton mill operatives at Fall River
was settled at conference here to-
day. The conference was held at
the State House. Representatives
OF manufacturers and operatives
have met by arrangements made by
Governor Douglas. The strike be-
gan July 20, 1904, when manufac-

iusted by Gov. Douglas.

Returning Home.

Nearly five years ago two girls,
just past seventeen-school mates
and friends-left the little town of
Westminster to complete their edu-
cation with business course in the
city Of Atlanta, the friend and COM
panion being Evie Simpson. To-
gether we bade goodbye to our loved
ones and went away for the first
time to cast our lot with strangers.
Every JOY and sorrow we shared to-
gether. School duties and room
likewise being all in all to each other,
we learned to love more dearly.
Evie at once became very popular
with both teachers and classmates;
every one loved her who knew her.
With pride the teachers pointed to
her success. The week she won her
diploma-conferred with honors-
she decided to enter the grandest
and noblest life given to woman
that of wife and mother. Thus
choosing, she married Albert Flynn,
of Atlanta. Unto this happy couple
were born two children. The devo-
tion of wife and mother, husband and
father, made their life complete; but
God, in His infinite wisdom, does not
will that such happiness be of this
world, only to be used in his divine
providence for His glory.
On Saturday night, January 7th,
/ was called to the Tabernacle In
Urinary to the bedside of my dying
friend. Everything that human
skill could do had been done. En-
tering the room we saw at once we
were in the presence of death.
Father, husband and friend, with
breaking hearts, could only try to
pray, "Thy will be done," as we
stood helpless by the stricken one
and watched that beautiful spirit
take its flight. 1t seemed that the
very gates of heaven were opened
and we could hear the music of the
angel band as they bore her spirit
home. Another heart rend Can
there be nothing done? Is there no
power given unto man by which this
fast tleeting soul can be bound and
given back to this young mother of
only twenty-five years, with SO much
in life to live for? In answer came
voice from heaven, "Fear not,
though ye walk through the valley
of the shadow of death" We were
in the shadow, while her soul was
vending its way through the valley.
God the Father was there; the
whole room was filled with His pres
ence death had lost his sting :;
gently sleeping, she passed away.
Two years ago the chain OF our
friendship and love was broken-the
first link added IL heaven. a few
short months 60, another, for the
third, God marked the brightest
link, and that is why He took the
fullest and noblcst life-that of a
wife and mother. He alone knows
which link will be added next.
Every day we realize more keenly
this beautiful life has gone from us,
the gentle spirit has returned home,
likewise the temple which held it.
Five short years ago she left them,
so full of life and ambition, returning
to-day Gas God wiled."
The loved ones--for comfort we
can only point them to God the
Father, whose glorious presence
filled her room the night her spirit
went home TO Him. T. A. p.

OGd Re.s.

Some extraordinary bets have been
made on the Japanese-Russian war. A
number of Japanese officers have bet
that they would be killed in battle.
The money was to go to their widows.
One officer, on starting for the front,
made the following wager: If he were
killed within a month his heirs were
to receive $500. After that date he was
to pay his opponent 10 yen 90 a day
until he had survived 100 days, after
which the bet was to cease. He under
took to expose himself to danger only
when military conditions demanded it.
In other words, he was not wilfully to
let himself be killed.
In a moment of excitement Lomakin.
a Moscow merchant, undertook to "eat
his boots" if Japan We're not forced to
sue for peace by July 1 last. Against
this his opponent bet 500 rubles. Iona
kin ate the boots. But as no time limit
was imposed he cut off and swallowed
only a tiny strip each day, completing
the achievement on Nov. 20. His OPP
ponent absolved him from eating the
nails.

Tie King. G1uxed Hand.

1t was noticed in Paris when King
Edward was there that he always ap-
peared in public with his right hand
gloved, but not his left. AS it is a COM
mon practice to carry the right glove
loose, and not the left, much specula-
ton has been excited by the kings re-
versal of this custom. One learned
writer suggests that it is due to a
sound perception of hygienic propriety.
The object of a glove, he says, is not
to adorn, but to protect the hand.
Which hand has the more constant en-
ployment and is therefore brought into
closer contact with microbes? Why,
ther right hand. 1t follows that in keep
Ing that hand gloved the king shows

POORLY PAID
The Salaries That Professors and
Tutors In Harvard Receive.


Only a few Harvard professors get
$4,000 a year. The cost of living and
the demands of life in general have
greatly increased, but no increase has
come in the stipends of these able and
handwriting men.
In 1868 a full professor got from
$4,000 to $33333.32, with an average of
$2,273; tutors We're paid an average of
Sl.O91.222. instructors, an average of
$54S; assistants received salaries be-
tween $50 and $416.67.
To-day a full professors salary is
$4,000, an associate professors $4,000.
an assistant professors $4,000, an in
structor's $1,000 or less, an assistants
between $3.50 and $500.
In the course of the thirty.seyen
years Which have passed since 1865 al
most all other persons on salary have
had their compensation raised to suit
the times. 1t costs a professor much
more to live now than it did then. and
1t takes him longer to become a full
professor, which ear a shorter work

conner, but is a learned, experienced
scholar, always eminent in his especial
branch of study and often one of the
masters of it. There is no other occu-
patton where first class ability is so
poorly paid, and few make more exact
ing demands upon the intellect and the
nerves. 1t cal be only a genuine love
of learning and of teaching for their
own sahes which could induce a gift
ed man to work so hard for so insig-
nificant a reward.
The alumni of Harvard, however,
have taken the matter up and are en-
deavoring to bring about a better state
Of things, believing that in SO doing
they ere working in the interest not
only of their own college, but of every
other in the country. Several large
subscriptions are said to have been
promised, and Harvard professors may
soon be paid as We'll as bank clerks
and commercial travellers.

NO PARDON FOR TAYLOR.
Murderer of Margaret Ernst Applies for Sixteenth Time.

Hartford Dec. 4.-Of the twenty-sev- en prisoners at the state prison in Wethersfield to petition the board of pardons for freedom at the December term of the board to-day five were par doned and one was paroIed. The parole of Attorney Percy l.. Johnson, of Bridgeport, was extended so that he may go to New York.
 James F. Taylor, who was sent up to prison in July, 1887, for life for murder in the second degree, petitioned the board for the sixteenth time, but no pardon was granted. He, with William Chamberlain, killed Margaret Ernst, of Spruce street, New Haven. l. In the case of James Bradley, of Bridgeport, the prisoners mother, a woman of seventy years, appeared be- fore the board to plead for clemency for the petitioner. Bradley is serving a sentence of three and half years 10 eight years on two counts of statutory burglary, and was sentenced February 26, 1902.
 Among the pardons granted was one to John Leverty, sentenced from New Haven county July 6, 1897, for fifteen years for criminal assault.
 The paroled prisoner is George Hull, sent to prison from New Haven county April 2, 1901, for seven years for break ing and entering. He was found guilty on seven counts.
 The petition of Hannah L. Chase, of New Haven, charged with arson, did not come before the board. When the case was reached the board was in- formed that the application had been withdrawn.

FIRST SESSION OF CONGRESS
Continued from First Page.)

The preliminary steps to organization were taken by the house. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois was reelected speak CT, the members of the house took the oath of office; the officers and floor enn- ployes of the body were re-elected; the rules of the last congress were made and members went through the formal ity of drawing for seats, all of which was enlivened by the presence of the crowds in the galleries, the animation of the reunion of veteran members and t2e interest of new ones.
 In brief speech against the adop- tion of the rules, MT Williams of Mis- sissippi, touched on the interest of the country in tariff legislation, and told of the new republican "ideas'' which were being waited to Washington on breezes from every part of the coun- try.' These, he said, might be properly legislated for should the minority of the majority sand with the demo- cratic members in opposing the adop- tion of the old rules and forming new ones, which would permit consideration of such legislation as popular opinion might dictate.
 MT. Williams was asked by the youngest member of the house, MT. Wharton of Illinois, for an explana- ton of what he had meant by the word 'kid'' in asking for support in opposi- tion to the rules from the new republi- can members. The retort was instanta- neous and caused burst of laughter at the young members expense. with that degree of reverence which the per sonal appearance of my interrigator excites in my mind should say he would be the last member of this house to ask that question:" said MT. Will Hams.

Alderman Curtiss said that the mini- mum cost, according to engineers, would be $400 per lamp, or about $24O, 900 for this city, and the maximum $500 per lamp, or $3OO,0O0 total. It cost Detroit recently $550 per lamp, he said. It would cost about $38,OO0 or $40,00O year to run it. New Haven gets it's arc- lighting cheaper than any other city, except those where the electricity is supplied from water power. New Ha- ven under the old contract paid $S2.1 per lamp pear year of 4,0OO burning hours. South Norwalk, with a munich pal plant, pays $62.5O for 2,70O burning hours.
