The workmen in our American
mills do the same work that is done
by our English operatives and get
paid in our plant in Yorkshire. Here
at our Rhode Island plant they comb,
spin and weave exactly the same
classes of wool, alpaca and mohair
and the same qualities of yarn and
cloth as do the operatives in our
English mills. They use identically
the same machinery. They do pre-
cisely the same things. Indeed, many
OF our workmen here were working
in the English mills only six years
ago. The length of the working week
Is almost the same-56 hours here
and So 1-2 hours over there
Mr.. Benn also referred to the
cost Of living in the two countries,
and said:
I have never known a workman
to return to live in England. The
company has built a model village
about the mills at Greystone and the
operatives conduct their own cooper
atiVe store, just as they do in Eng
land. The secretaries of these stores

Mecker to Write on Greeley

Ralph Meeker. son of n. C.
Meeker, who was associated init
mately with Horace Greeley, is writ
ing a story of the life and character
of the famous editor after whom this
city was named, which will be read
at the Greeley centenary celebration
to be held at the Methodist church
next Friday evening. Word was re-
ceived this morning by Mayor Hous-
ton from Mr.. Meeker, who will send
his manuscript at once. Mr., Meeker
is connected with the New York
Herald.
Although final plans for the cele-
bration have not been completed 1t
is agreed that Judge Garrigues will
be the principal speaker of the even
ing. Music will form a part of the
program which will relate chiefly to
the life, character and work of Hor-
ace Greeley.
In the public schools on Friday
afternoon there will be special exer-
cises commemorative of the day. In
every grade there will be programs
given, the principal events OF which
will be addresses by pioneers wh>
were original members of the colony
and who knew Mr.. Greeley person
ally Every school child in the cie
will learn on that day something of
the history of the city. its founding.
its progress and of the inspirations
for colony in Colorado, which ter
ritory in that day was classed in the
wild and woody sections of the coun-
try.

A Great CannibaI Feast.

Probably the biggest cannibal orgy
on record is one of which Miss Bea-
trice Grimshaw tells in "The New
Guinea" "In 1858 shipload of China
men was being taken down to Austria
liza. The vessel was wrecked upon a
reef close to Rossel island, New GUM
ca. The officers escaped in boats, but
were never afterward heard of. AS
for the Cinnamon, numbering 326, the
natives captured them and put them
on small barren island. where they
had no food and no means of getting
away. They kept their prisoners sup
piled with food from the mainland
and every now and then carried away
few of them to eat until all but one
old man had been devoured. This one
succeeded eventually In getting away

seems to have met with general disbe

SENIORS AT NORMAL MAY
PRESENT A SKATING POND

Seniors at the Normal school are
engaged in solving more difficult
problem than is presented in any OF
their text books. They are trying
to decide what to donate to the
school as memorial to the class OF
1911. For many years it has been
the custom of graduating classes to
present something of a substantial
nature to the institution and each
class tries to find gift that will be
out of the ordinary.
This years class is leaning strong
ly toward a skating pond, it being
argued that this would be thing OF
beauty in the summer time and
source of infinite JOY in the winter.
Other things have been suggested.
including pieces of statuary, iron
deer and ground decorations, but
the skating pond is in the lead for
popularity, with but one handicap.
that being the cost. The seniors feel
that they may wei proceed with eau
tion on the pond proposition, having
watched with interest the efforts to
provide skating for the children at
Island Grove park. They want to
be sure that they get a real pond
and fear that to make such one as
they wish the cost will be beyond
! their reach.
Other students at the Normal are
heartily in favor of the pond, since
/ they will have years ahead of them
in which to enjoy it. But the digni-
| fed seniors are to have the say re-
| garding their own gift, so that the
rest of the students can only hope
that a decision in favor of the pond
will be reached. A bit of statuary-
they admit, would be very beautiful,
but it could not be skated on in the
/ winter time or provide messy banks
for day dreaming during the gentler
moods of nature.

Imprisonment For Debt,

About the middle of the last cen
fury the power of imprisoning debt
or for life was taken from the creditor,
and 1t fills one with amazement to
think that system so ridiculous
should have continued as long as it
did. The three principal debtors pris-
ons in England were the Kings Bench,
the Marshalsea and the Borough
Compter. In the year 1853 there We're
10000 prisoners for debt in Great Brit
ain and Ireland. The futility of the
system was quite as great as its bar
barty. More than half the prisoners
in some of the prisons We're kept there
solely because they could not pay the
