Jr C BOSTON , Mass. , Feb. 14. At a meet-
f \ > "ff yesterday in this city of fifty-five
M. \ representative of textile unions in
l B o > New England it was unanimously vot-
H \ \ ' > 1 to recommend that all unions call
H & t \ out the operatives In every cotton mill
BH ) \ in New England.
H \ v J T e meetng was practically the out-
1 \ W conio of the recommendation which
/i , # President Gompers made to the Fed-
f m orations of Labor last Sunday , in
Hb \ which he urged the different unions to
1 , , J * unite on some settled policy regarding
HL * ' % the iniI ] situation in England.
| W ' § At that meeting a committee of four
1 | was appointed to take charge of the
Htt \ matter , and after a conference this
H \ committee recommended that a gene-
H \ * ral meeting to be held to take definite
B B Bj X , I action.
B B J The representatives of the various
B B B I & ' national textile associations assem-
HftfP I ble1 i" the Wells Memorial hall and
Hr % for four hours discussed the situation
S Cq from every standoint. The primary
M0t n. object of the meeting was to devise
HT * " * * * / some method of rendering assistance
B BH k f 7 to the New Bclf ° ri strikers.
B BM lkft U was P ° inte(1 out that if the strik-
Jt / > ers at New Bedford could hold outS
for four weeks without receiving more
than 20 cents per "operative per week
in the way of outside assistance other
mill operatives could stand a similar
strain , and thnt if all went out , it
would precipitate a crisis that would
S have to be met within a short time by
the manufacturers. I
It was also shown that the mule
spinners were in excellent condition
as regards funds ; that the United Tex
tile Workers and the New England
Federation of Weavers were also in
"BBB \ J god condition , but that the rest were
short of funds.
These questions were also discussed ,
and at length the matter was put tea
f a vote , no one being registered against
the motion that the different unions
should order a general strike in every
cotton mill in New England until a
satisfactory adjustmeit , of wages
- * would be arranged.
f % x It now remains for the various naB -
B | \ tional unions to take action on the ref -
f t commendation , but what this action
gR B * . will be is a matter of conjecture. If
gR M j all should acquiesce and vote to strike ,
gM M 147,000 operatives would undoubtedly
B M \ cease work and the manufacture of
B BE a cotton goods throughout New England
gM BJ a would be at a standstill.
B D j ? If , on the other hand , only a few
BiBI t unions should vote to strike the re-
lH • tusal of the others would still keep a
gM Bl . ) • large portion of the mills in operation.
B " S Inasmuch , however , as the meeting
r was the outcome of President Gomp-
_ , _ . srs' suggestion , and as he admonished
B H * ' * ie Inemuers of the Federation of LaB -
m i I
B bT mW w ' ) or * ° ° n naU ( s au < assist the New
B BP Mm I -Bedford strikers , it seems probable
B B8 1 r - \ that nearly every union will carry out
B BB t * - < the recommendations , and that one of
B B S f IS the gi-eatest strikes in this country is
B B B / impending.

Interest Ir Aroused' ' In the Canadian
West.
f IfiS i * * rgrains ana
' TRft l S ? is ro ° ts and
tile lands of Western Canada , which
were made at the several state and
county fairs in some' of the Western
states this fall , have awakened consid
erable interest in the lands which the
Canadian Government has opened for
settlement , and which are given free
to settlers. The agents pf'the govern
ment , who are to be found in these
states , are flooded with inquiries re
garding the conditions on which these
lands may be secured. Large numbers
have located on these lands during
the past year , and send back to their
friends most encouraging reports. They
say they have entered on an era of
prosperity , and are well pleased with
both the agricultural possibilities and
the climate. The provinces of Mani
toba , Assinaboia and Alberta are spe
cially adapted to diversified farming.
In some parts the country is specially
adapted to stock raising , and it is be
ing profitably pursued. In these parts
snow seldom remains a week at a time ,
the warm breezes from the ocean af
fecting the climate thus favorably.
When the desirability of these lands is
fully known there will be a rush sjjch
as has scarcely ever before been
known. Information as to low railway
rates , illustrated pamphlets , etc. , will
be forwarded with pleasure by the De
partment of the Interior , Ottawa , Can
ada , if you are not in possession of the
name of an agent of the government.
More illiterate hod-carriers reach
the top-of the ladder than men with
college educations.
LETTERS FROM THE RESTORED.

The manufacturers of the remedy
called " 5 drops , " which is guaran
teed to cure rheumatism , neuralgia ,
asthma , and kindred ailments , have re
ceived thousands of letters regarding
their medicine , many of which have
been published. The following is a
sample of these letters :
Oct. 10 , 1897 , 030 Main St. ,
Springfield , Mass.
Dear Sirs I can not express my
gratitude to God , also to you , for the
benefit I am receiving from " 5 drops. "
I walk around my room without a
crutch , which I have had to use a long
time. I firmly believe that with faith ,
patience and perseverence , " 5 drops"
will get the better of all diseases. My
doctor says it is indigestion lias made
me bloat so , but his medicine does not
seem to reach my case. Respectfully
yours , Mrs. A. Spring.
The producers of " 5 Drops , " who are
the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Co. , 1G7-
169 Dearborn street , Chicago , have de
cided to continue for another 30 days
an offer which they made some weeks
ago , namely , to send a sample bottle
of " 5 Drops , " prepaid , for 25 cents.
They state that this is done as they
know even a sample bottle will con
vince one of the value of their remedy.
Also , large bottle , 300 doses , for $1.00 ,
and for the next thirty days , three bottles
tles for 52.50.

rience , and also a good deal from his

DIPHTHERIA IN WINNECONNE.
How It Was Stamped Out , After the
aiodern Treatment Had Failed.
Thirty-three cases of diphtheria were
reported at Winneconne , Wisconsin ,
and the schools were closed.
Of the thirty-three cases twelve were
subjected to so-called modern treat
ment ; four of the t.velve thus treated
died , a death rate of 33 1-3 per cent.
Mr. J. Ulrich , a resident of Winne
conne , had observed the marvelous
success Muco-Solvent had met with and
in his enthusiastic way induced many
mothers to use it. His own family was
one of the first infected , Muco-Solvent
being used to the exclusion of every
thing else with splendid results.
Compared with other treatments , its
success was so very pronounced , that
Muco-Solvent was generally adopted ,
with the result that by its use alone
the other twenty-two cases recovered ,
not one proving fatal where Muco-Sol
vent v/as depended on.
We recommend its presence in every
home , for all throat troubles. In avert
ing developments of diphtheria , scarlet
fever and croup , it is unequalled.
Upon receipt of the price , $1 per
bottle , the Muco-Solvent Company , 35G
Dearborn street , Chicago , will express
it , charges paid. This makes splen
did article for agents to introduce in
their locality , as it is backed by over
whelming and convincing testimony.

A dictionary containing tlio deliu t'ons
of 10,000 of tlio most useful nud impor
tant words in tlio English language , is
published by the Dr. Williams -Medicine
Co. . Schenectady , N. Y. AVliilo it contains
some advertising , it is a complete diction
ary , concise nnd correct.
in compiling 'this ' book care lias been
taken to omit none of those common words
whoso spelling or exact use occasions at
times a momentary dilliculty , even to well
educated people The main aim lias been
to give as much useful information us pos
sible in a limited space. With this in view ,
where noun , adjective and verb are nil ol > -
viou.-ly connected in meaning , usually one
only lias been inserted. Tlio volume will
thus bo found to contain tlio meaning of
very many more words than it professes
to explain.
To those who already liavo a dictionary ,
thin.bcok will commend itself becaisitis
compact , light and convenient ; to those
who liavo no dictionary whatever , it will
bo invaluable. One may bo sicured by
Avriting to tlio above concern , mention
ng this paper , and enclosing a two-cent
stamp.
