CARRIED HIM BACK TO

Every now and then some feature Of
the entertainment offered at the Or
pheum theater has peculiarly appeal
ing power to some prominent Minneap-
olltan who was born and bred across
the water. h. Vaudeville is essentially
International and recruits its talents
from all countries. BY the same token
it often brings to citizens who had
their beginnings in foreign lands many
fond recollections. a~@E
Thus it happens that when E. G. Wal

night and listened with eager ear to the

his songs, dances and patter take me
back to the days, or rather, the nights
when we young fellows used to sit in
the stalls at the Tivoli, the Oxford the

In those days the music halls used
to have the quaint custom Of announc-

as they came on. The chairman, gen
orally venerable, old gentleman,
would rap on the floor with his case

Pertinent Sayings From Exchanges

st. Luke Herald asked: What
think you of that religion whose
basic creed is love, that on Sun
day wants tithes of all we pos
sess. and on Thursday carries
these tilhes past our door and
gives them to the white man,
the better to enable him to lord
it over us?' But what do you
think Of a minister of the gospel,
who gets all his bread and butter
from his own people by preach
ing love, that will preach himself
hoarse lauding Negro enterpris,
es aud buy all he consumes of
groceries, stores, etc, of the
other fellow?-Ex.
Such person is a fraud, of
course, but in Springfield we do
advise the colored race to trade
with a colored man just because
he is "colOred," nor do we advise
them to not trade with white
people, but; when colored people
are in business and are Offering
you good inducements and too its
the Negro enterprises that open
clerical positions for our people,
moslly-hence we advocate that
they should have a goodly part
of their trade; but not because
they are colored. Negroes must
also, when in business, keep
their p aces neat, quiet, the win
dows cleane d, and themselves.
Noisy crowds and hangers on
should not be tolerated-this

TEN MILLION FOR WATER,
New York Board of Estimates Voted
That Sum Yesterday.

New York, Nov. 2S-J. Edward Sim
mons, chairman of the board of water
supply, appeared before the board Of
estimate and apportionment to-day and
asked for ten million dollars to be util-
lied for the contract, to be awarded on
December 4, for the construction Of the
first eleven miles of new aqueduct
which will be built in connection with
the Catskill water project.
The board voted the money, S6000,000
of which will be used to build the sec
ton in Putnam, Westchester and
Duchess counties, and will run from
Hunters Brook to Foundry Brook. The
other four millions are for administra-
ton. Comptroller Metz said to Mr..
Simmons:
You can't go ahead and make a
contract until the board formally ap-
proves this grant and raises the mon
ey?"
Mr.. Simmons said this was true, add
ing that his board would not need more
than 10 per cent. of the money for sew
eral months.
The facts are that the money cannot
be raised Immediately, as the efforts of
the comptroller to sell bonds for the
board of water supply last July failed.
only 500 worth being bid for, Accord
ing to the enactment Of the legislature
creating the board of water supply and
authorizing the expenditure of $161, ,OOO
nm for the C9tslyfU scheme the bonde
have to run for twenty-year terms. The
bonds were not bid, because they were
short-term stock.
An effort to have the legislature last
session pass an amendment making the
bonds long-term failed. It will have
to be tried again at the next session
before the new board can get any mon
ey, unless the sinking fund buys the
bonds.

DISCUSS AMERICAN TOPICS.
English Journals Paying More Attens
tion to Them Than Ever Before.

London, Nov. 24.-Perhaps never In
the history of British journalism have
American topics ever taken up SO much
space as at present.
Just now the leading subject OF ats
cussion in the English press is the se-
lection Of a successor to Sir Mortimer
M. Durand, as British ambassador at
Washington. Many writer's agree with
Sir Mortimer that Washington Is far
the most important diplomatic post In
the world
One Of the principal weekly reviews,
The Outlook, makes this subject me
leading feature Of its issue and gives
up more than a page to 1t.
The Outlook says the British embassy
at Washington has lost completely the
political and social ascendancy 1t en-
joyed under Lord Pauncefote. The
blame for this is not Sir Mortimer S,
who commands universal respect, but
he was translated from a sphere which
he filled with distinction to an enwiron-
ment where it was practically impossi-
BILE for a diplomat of his traditions to
become acclimated. There has been no
misunderstanding between the United
States and Great Britain, but there has
been some cessation of complete un-
derstanding. What is now needed is a
man as little like the professional Dip
lomat as can be imagined, and resem-
bling as nearly as possible American
representatives such as Lowell Choate
and Reid, who have been the most eff
| fective ambassadors in the world, be-
cause there have been no atmosphere
of Journalism or convention about
| them"
Continuing the outlook says the place
formerly occupied by the British ann
bassador In Washington has been taxi
en- by Baron speck Won Sternburg, who
combines every advantage for the post.
The German ambassador is almost an
Englishman. He was born in Yorkshire
and might possibly have become a
British subject at one time, and he
swings our language as automatically
as ourselves. His success has been as
brilliant as the failure of the theatrical
Edlplomat. like Count Cassini of Russia,
has been dismal"

HUNDRED THOUSAND
affected BY ADVANCE
FALL RIVER TEXTILE MANU-
RAOTURERS SET PACE FOR
OTHERS.

Increase of Ten Per Cent. In Wages tn
Their 10000 Employees Means That
Other Cities May Have to Follow
suit-Leading Operators Of Rhode
Island Declare They win Meet What-
ever Advance Is Given by New Rel.
ford MILL Owners.
Boston, Nov. 23.-According to adj
vices received from cotton mill centers
in southern New England, an advance
of 10 per cent. in wages granted by the
Fall River manufacturers to-day 10
their 10000 employees will affect nearly
100000 operatives in southeastern Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, eastern Con-
necticut and in several towns In other
sections. 1t is not expected, however
that the rise will amount to 10 per cent.
except in Fall River and several prdnt-
cloth mill villages.
Tho New Bedford Cotton Manufact-
urers association has under considerao
tion demand for an increase of 10 peg
cent, but as the reductions In that city
were not as great as those in Fall River
it Is understood that an offer Of a 5 per
cent. advance, to go into effect Dece1n-
Der 10, will be made The New Bedford
cloth mills employ about $4,000 hands
and the yarn mills 4,OO0 The New Eng
land Cotton Yarn company, which enl-
ploys $500 operatives in New Bedford,
is not member of the Cotton Msnu-
facturers' association.
The leading manufacturers of Rhode
Island, who have offices in Providence,
say that they will meet whatever ad-
vance is given by the New Bedford mill
owners, their principal competitors. An
advance in Rhode Island will affect TO-
900 hands, and in addition win benefit
$4,000 operatives in eastern Connecticut
mills controlled by Providence mill Of
| fees, and about 5000 persons in Massa
| chusetts factories owned in Rhode ISL
and.
The Fall River advance will be- gtyen
by half dozen print cloth mills which
are located in this state and New
| Hampshire and it Is considered prob
able that several other Massachusetts,
mills, not controlled by New Bedford
or Rhode Island interests, will adopt
the New Bedford rate of increase.
While Boston mill office, which direct
the affairs of cotton mills in northern
New England in Palmer, Ware, Chico
pee and Holyoke, Massachusetts, are
much interested in the situation In
| southeastern New England, no action
looking to a change in the wage sched-
ule has been considered here. IT is inn
possible to tell at this time whether an
advance will be ordered In the mills
controlled from this city or in the mills
of Berkshire county. The mills con-
trolled by Boston ana Berkshire coitn-
ty interests employ about 10000 opera
tives

DIPLOMATIC STATUS OF CUBA.
Britain Holds 1t is an American De-
pendency.

washington, Nov, 23.-Great Britain
has decided not to recognize the pro-
visional government Of Cuba as other
than an American dependency, and her
envoy will not be accredited to Cover
nor Magoon. The entire diplomatic
corps at Havana is consequently on the
anxious bench"
France is credited with the sugges-
ton of solution which will probably
be adopted by her sister nations. This
proposition is to grant the diplomats
at Havana an indefinite leave of abb
sence and await results.
Meantime the Washington govern
ment will maintain It's legation at Ha-
vana, where Governor Magoon reports
that Mr.. Morgan, the American minis
ter, is rendering helpful service to the
provisional government.
