IRISH GIRLS TAKE VEIL
Thirty-one Arrived In San Antonio
From Galveston Last Saturday
to Enter Convent.
fHerald SnecIalA

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. IA
Thirty-one Irish girls arrived in this
city from Galveston last Saturday
morning for the purpose of entering
Breckenridge Villa as postulants. The
institution named is the mother house
of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word.
Those in charge of the local church
institutions say that Texas women are
too fond of, the world to spend their
life in the cloister. For some time
they have not entered the converts
to any considerable extent and for
that reason their inmates have to be
brought from elsewhere. The same
authorities say there is no difficulty
in getting recruits from Ireland. No
cause for this was assigned but it is
understood that the deplorable eco
nomic conditions prevailing in the
Emerald Isle are largely responsible
for this. Last year thirty-three young
Irish women entered San Antonio
converts, and the year before an
even larger number was recorded.

GRANITE CUTTERS
REJECT OFFEROF
SETTLEMENT
Employers Offered to Stop Use
of Pneumatic Tool
DURING 8 WINTER MONTHS
Now No Hope Of Immediate Agree
ment and Outlook for the Win
ter is Bad

Montpelier, Dec. 12.-The hope OF
an early termination of the troubles
in the granite industry in Washing
ton county that has prevailed for sew
eral days in this city and Barre again
faded away yesterday when the cut
ters at Mortified where the trouble
originated, promptly turned down
without dissenting voice the second
proposition for settlement made to
them that day by the manufacturers.
Made Great Concession
The second proposition was even
more of a concession by the manufao-
turers than was the first, which was
that the men go back to work and
that the use of the pneumatic bush
hammer in the sheds at Mortified be
optional with the men there between
December and March. The PROPOSE
ton rejected yesterday was that dur
ing the winter months when the win
dows of the sheds are closed the use
Of the bumpers" be discontinued al
together except for channeling and
other difficult work. To this second
piOhti vi iHt OilNt III duIn lut tutltIa
said no with a bang.
Duncan influence Rules
1t is said in this city today that the
men at Mortified as well as in Barre
and Montpelier are anxious to return
to work tomorrow but that the infiu-
ence that emanates from the office of
National Secretary Duncan at Quincy,
Mass, induces the men to stay out,
that they are led to believe if they
stand firm and refuse all overtures of
settlement except on the ground that
the use of the pneumatic bush ham
mer be altogether dispensed with
they i'll eventually win. This labor
saving dvice does tn work of three
or four men and the manufacturers
intimate that they will never agree to
its adjustment at all seasons.
The manufacturers from Barre.
Mortified and Montpelier were in
session at Barre yesterday afternoon
awaiting a reply from the Mortified
cutters to their proposition. When
word was received that it had been
turned down the manufacturers at
once adjourned without action and
the lockout looks no nearer settle
ment tonight than it did three weeks
age.

TO STOP AMERICANS LANDING
Dixie Arrives at Colon and Men
and Ammunition Being Prepared
To Proceed.

Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. Il
Authoritative dispatches received
here state that 500 of Zelaya's forces
have been entrenched for the purpose
of preventing the American marines
from passing over the bridge into CO.
rinto.
since Thursday when Gen. Estrada
became practically certain that Gen
Vasquez in command of a portion OF
Zelaya's troops, was attempting 10
make detour around Rama FOR the
purpose of Selling an unguarded river
point and descending on Bluehelds,
the forces of the provisional Govern
ment have been acting with great en-
ergy. Rama has been occupied and
other less important river landings
have been strongly guarded. All
available boats have been held in re-
serve to rush reinforcements to any
point that may be threatened.
Gen. Chamorro and $50 men arrived
here today to assist in guarding the
entire sixty miles of the Escondido
river from Rama to Bluefields. Gen.
Chamorro left 800 men guarding the
land passage between Bluefields and
Greytown.
In an interview this afternoon the
provisional secretary OF state, Adolfe
Diaz, declared that the Zelayan troops
would not be able to march overland
from Greytown because of the
swamps and jungles and that they
would not be able to get the use OF
river boats. For these reasons Gen.
Chamorro could afford to weaken the
Greytown force without fear of the
results.
While the provision government
would welcome additions to the men
the United States cruiser Des Moines
has aboard, Secretary Diaz declared
that Estradas forces were capable
of defeating any attempt to attack
Bluefelds.
1t is learned from an authoritative
source that a reign of terror is being
maintained in Managua and that not
less than 500 persons identified with
political affairs are in chains in the
prisons. A Catholic society has been
ordered to cease sending food to the
prisoners and they are in fair way
to starve to death, as they are allow
ed only two cents a day for food Cor
poral punishment is meted out daily
to various alleged offenders.
Zelaya in order to create an impress
sion that the sentiment of the people
of Managua is hostile toward America
and Americans, recently ordered Anne
lilo Estrada, prominent liberal and
brother of the revolutionist chief, to
organize a demonstration against that
country and people but this he refus-
ed to do, and Zelaya had him arraign-
ed on a fictitious charge

THE CONTRIBUTION BOX
A Convenient Arrangement in Greek
Church

A custom among attendants OF the
Greek church at Trebizond explains
the use of certain tokens which have
been presented to the American Num-
ismatic society
According to the Journal of the So
ciety sometimes several collections
are made during the service in these
churches. Even should there be but
one, the visitor may desire to make a
special contribution at the shrine or
picture of some of the saints whose
intercession he desires to secure, or
he may wish to purchase a candle for
use in some of the ceremonials in
public or private devotions.
On entering the church, therefore.
he exchanges a certain sum of money
with the deacon at the gate for an
equivalent amount of these tokens.
He is thus able to respond to the calls
for the various offerings during the
service or to deposit his gift at the
shrine of the saint by using one or
more of these tokens as he may be
disposed, yet without any heavy de-
mand on his purse. These church
tokens are sometimes of brass and
sometimes of paper

TICKET SALE TONIGHT
Last Attraction at Local Opera House
Until After the Holidays.

Among the notable attractions that
are to appear at the opera house this
season, the announcement of Henry
b. Harris production of Charles
Klein's masterpiece. The Third De
gree will perhaps cause more com
ment than anything theatrical for the
past few years, or since Mr.. Kleins
famous drama, The Lion and the
Mouse first made its appearance
here; and it is a foregone conclusion
that anything that Mr. Klein writes
is bound TO arouse interest and even
if he had not written any play other
than this his latest work, it would
stamp him as dramatist of extra
ordinary merit.
Mr.. Klein essays to bring to the
notice Of the public certain conditions
that endure through the deplorable
lack Of initiative on the part of suf-
