SLEEP STILL UNBROKEN
All Efforts to Arouse Califor-

Futile.

Los Angeles, CAL, March 3d.
Mrs. Beulah Hawkins, who has puz-
zled the medical and psychological
professors by her long, unbroken
sleep, at the county hospital, will to-
day begin the fifty. eighth day of her
mysterious slumber.
Unless her sleep is soon broken,
the physicians declare, Mrs. Hawkins
will never survive the effects of it,
granting that she does not die while
still sleeping.
Every effort known to science has
been resorted to to awaken her, but
all so far have been futile, and doc.
tors are of the opinion she will die
sleeping.

CUT IN WAGES.
Ten Per Cent. Reduction IN
New England Cotton
Mills.

Boston, March 31.-The general
reduction of / per cent. in the wages
of New England cotton-mill opera
tives, which was recently decided
upon, became effective today in
mills employing 10000 persons.
Next Monday the movement will APP
ply to the pay of as many more.
The reduction is due to the depress-
ion of the cotton-goods market,
which forced many mills to curtail
production. The city of Fall River,
Lawrence and Berkshire counties are
not included in the general reduc-
ton, but may be affected later on.
There was some interest in mill
circles to-day as to how the opera
tives would accept the cut down.
Several minor strikes were regarded
as possible, but the serious walk-out
was expected at any point to-day.
~. The curtailment is general
throughout New England at the
present time. The average curtail-
ment is placed at from 20 to rs per.
cent. of the production. The cotton
mills of New England have about
$1,000 spindles. In Fall River
production of print cloths last week
was lessened by about 155, 900 pieces,
the largest amount held from the
market this year. 1t is probable
that most of the Fall River mills
will adopt M. c. D. Borden's policy
and run in half time, closing every
other week.

UNCLE SAM
May Be Called Upon to Spank
Venezuela.

Washington, D. c., March 81
All the patience of the government
has been exhausted in trying to get
a just and equitable settlement of
American claims with Venezuela.
Every proposition of concession
made by Secretary Root and his
predecessor, Mr.. Hay. has been
treated with almost contempt, and
now something will be doing unless
Castro dismounts from his high
horse.
Uncle Sans gunboats may be
brought into action in short time,
as Castro evidently does not intend
to do the square thing until he is
forced to do so.
Today the correspondence that
has passed between America and
Venezuela was submitted to the
Senate, and it is almost certain to
create profound impression.

HOW MOLLY SAVED
PLEASANTVILLE,
BY ARTHUR II. GRANT.

Pleasantville had walked up. The cen
ter of a rich farming district, 1t had
grown so quietly that It hadn't realized
that it had outgrown its short dresses,
so to speak, until Henry Graham, the
enterprising manager Of the Pioneer
Electric company in MilIdale, eight
miles away, asked for franchise and
contract to light it's streets with
electricity, which he proposed to trans
NIT from his recently enlarged Milldale
plant
Pleasantville was divided between a
sense of shame at having so long
been content with oil lighted streets
and delight at the prospect Of having
its beautiful elm shaded streets as at
tractlve in the evening as they were
by day. The city fathers had dis
cussed the project, and final vote was
to be taken at the council meeting on
Thursday evening. Graham had made
the proposition that was fair to Pleas
antville and yet would give a good
profit to the stockholders and was con-
graduating himself on having done q
good stroke Of business, for a prac-
tically unanimous vote was assured,
when, as usual, the unexpected hap.
pened
On Wednesday afternoon trouble
alighted from the westbound express
in the person Of Hiram Stickney, a
stoutish, middle aged man Of the
'glad hand" type, but with little wrin-
kles around his eyes, which, to the
wise, were danger signals Of a more
sinister character than was revealed
by the jolly smile with which he greet
ed the clerk of the City hotel:
electric light contract let YETI" he
asked of that rather sleepy function
airy.
"No, but 1t will be tomorrow night"
"Maybe so and maybe not" replied
Stickney as he followed the bellboy
TO his room.
Twenty-four hours was all he need
ed to make his maybe not" come
true, for as the representative of the
Slicker Manufacturing company he had
become expert as franchise killer
and as builder Of municipal plants.
A week later he and the mayor were
seated side by side on the platform of
the largest hall in town. The final
vote Of the council had been postponed,
and Stickney was that night to show

rowly they had escaped the wiles of
the shrewd Graham and how much
better it would he for them to have a
lighting plant Of their own.

the mayor, "a gentleman who has
made a special study of the lighting
problems of cities like Pleasantville,
and whose coming to US at this juno
tuFe seems to me little short Of provi-
Dental. He will tell you tonight what
he has previously told your represent

doubt that you will agree with us that
It was wise to postpone action on the
proposed lighting franchise. l have
the pleasure of introducing to you Mr..
Hiram Sticlney of the Slicker Manu-
featuring company"
Stickney had not been idle during
his week in town. He had the history
Of Pleasantville down as fine as the
oldest inhabitant. He knew all its am
billions, its jealousies of neighboring
towns, the range of trade Of its mer-
chants, and had taken the gauge of
almost every man Of any prominence.
He began, therefore, by skillfully play
ing upon all the strings of local pride
and envy and ambition until, when he
reached the climax of his Introductory
remarks, he had his audience just
where he wanted it.
''Get your current from Milldalc?
Send your money to build up your
rival? Become a mere appendage to
another city? How long before you
would find your customers following
the wires over to Milldale, and saying
If Pleasantville has to get its current
from there, why should not we get our
goods from thereP Where would your
political leaders stand in the county
conventions when the Milldalers would
refer to them as representatives Of
one Of our suburbs? No! Pleasant
vile must not mortgage its future in
any such way. 1t is strong enough and
brave enough to stand on its own feet.
And it can do THERE he was inter-
rupted by perfect storm Of applause
land 1t can do it, and save money In
the bargain"
Then he plunged into the details of
4 municipal lighting plant. Boilers, dy-
namos, transformers, were described
rs already the property of the thriving
little town, until the audience saw the
completed plant and felt that sense of
proprietorship which Is dear to every
v.fo,hk fhinlyinO Amariaan HAnd the
entire plant can be installed In four
months, and at cost which viii not
exceed $10,000-in fact, my company
has authorized me to make q contract
with you for trifie less than that sum,
If 1t can be signed within two weeks,
as this is the dull season in the year of
our business"
