.MR DAVIS STaVTEMKNT
"Why," huld StiDcrliilendent Davis
of thu iSaiKiuolt ye3terd.i', "do you
know what all this lining that you hear
of amounts to? In our last four pays
wo have dlHtrlbutrd $50,000 and have
collected $3.50 In lines.
"However, lt'n tho scale llnelf which
Is causing all thu trouble ana delay.
It,'s preposterous to oxpect us to give
It any consideration at nil. If we tried
to pay, on their terms, tho company
would have 19 go out of buolness. Tor
tho present, matters nro resting pretty
quietly and I do not think there wlil
bo any now developments In the sltim
Hon at our mill, until after Friday,"
Kildny is pay duy nt the Faurjuolt,
and when the girls report for their
wages they will bo brought together
nnd given it quiet little talk by Huper
Intendcnt Davis. Tlic latter will en
deavor to discover Just how many of
the girls wish to resume work, and
the pcatu of wages offered them will
be probably the snmo ns that made by
tho company on tho day last week on
Which the girls struck. If enough
glrlij signify their acquiescence to ie
sumo work Monday, tho mill will 1ms
again operated. Otherwise they will
remain closed for uu Indefinite period.
Over a hundred of the striking girls
waltid upon Superintendent Davis
"Wednesday, nnd on his asking them:
whether or not they wished to romo
back to their work, nbout seventy de
clared thilr willingness, nnd the bal
ance gave u blank refusal. The "will
ing workers" appeared at tho mill
yesterday mornlnjr. but ns Superinten
dent Davis cast bin glance over the
huge, empty plant and gar.et'l ut the
small band, ho remarked that with so
tew it would be ImpoMdbln to npemlu
tlm mill nnd they had bolter wait
awhile.
Tho ghln left the btillrtlng, and yi"S
lerdny afternoon attended th incit
ing of the Saqunlt soft sill) woikeiM
In Carpenter' hall. Totnonow morn
ing there will be a meeting nt Carpen
ter'11 hull of all the girls of the Kaquolt
silk mill.
This gathering linn been failed b
older to arrange jtome plan of cam
paign for the meeting with Supct In
tendcnt Davis.
HAUVKYS WAITED Cl'O.V.
Tlaivey Ilros. were waited upon y"
lerday Iiv the strikers' committee. The
latter were romteouily received and
thi" scale presented. After u lengthy
Inlet view. It wai announced that if
the Hauquoll people net-opted the scale,
It would likewise go Into effect at th
Harvey mill.
The scale committee nIo tailed upon
Valentine Hllss, whose mills at Provi
dence and Dickson Cltv nre now, Idle,
but Avlino nnninore plant .Is In full

would not tor 11 minute consider tho
scale. A copv of this was, however,
left with him.

that ho had .studied the sti liters' scale
nnd nftcr due conslduiatlou deemed It
ume.isonable. Am yet, they have nut
given any formal answer to the com
mittee. At the otlK'l mills Ihc Mltiinilon Is

THE PROPOSITION REJECTED.
Turnpike Company Will Not Accept
Committee's Teims.
The Ablugton Turnpike rompauj v til
not accept the counter proposition of
tin- councllmiinlu committee regarding
the terms on which the turnpike as
far as Seneca stieet Is to be deeded to
the city. Tt Is understood that a com
munication ( ontnlnlng u rejection of
the proposition has been leceived by
City Solicitor Voshiug.
Tim company was uHtiim to deed
"West Market street to tha city provid
ing the citj- would agree to pave il
and providing that it would further
agree to expend $1,200 the first year and
$.",00 evoiy year thereafter In keeping
the street from Seneca stieet to tin:
old stone bridge In repair.
The committee which considered the
proposition was opposed to the ex
penditure of any money to keep any
poition of the road In repair and sub
mitted a counter pjoposltlon agreeing
to every p.ut of the company's pro
position except the part above referred
to. It Is this counter proposition which
has been 1 ejected.
WILL COST ABOUT S3, 500.
That Amount Will Be Needed to Tny
for Bepnhs to City Hall.
The members of the joint public
buildings committee of councils yes
terday completed their examination of
the Municipal building with the view
of estimating tho cost of the repairs
needed for that structure o that the
nccessaiy amount may he provided
for in thu coming appropriation ordi
nance. The approximate cost of the nec.es
:;ary repairs, according to Chairman
Adam Schroeder, of the select council
committee, will be about $::,ri00. This
will include the re-painting of tho
walls of the corridors, of the council
chambers and of a number of the of
fices In addition to the painting of all
wood work nnd iron wotk on the out
side of the building.
Mr. Schroeder stated that if the
painting of the outside of the building
were left for nnothep year It would
he ruinous. The Iron woik 011 the
towers, he said, is already thick with
111st, having never been painted slnco
the building was erected. The com
mittee will also recommend that new
awnings bo purchased and that a num
ber of other small repairs be made.

THH UAXCIOS
The UiU'slan flag dance was uinoug
the prettiest with its broad ted, white
and blue fettlpcd skirts, the reel mm
nets of the ladles and the ticb black
velvet and gold embroidered costumes
of the men. This Is known as "The
t'olllery Knglncer Dance" since the
peisonnel is made up of representatives
from that gieat institution of this
city. .Mis. It. .J. Foster, who Is one of
the chapcroncs and who has worked
Indefatigable in tho Interests of the
young people In her dance, carried an
immense bouquet of scarlet cat nations
last night as a graceful tribute from
the participants, the hue correspond
ing with the prevailing lone of their
tiroes.
The Alsatlon dancers wore charming
costumes with accotdeon plaited skirts
nnd velvet bodices, while the men were
attired In the festive dtess ot their
nation.
The Gypsies glllteicil with reti and
gold nnd their gay tnmbouilncs made
lullllant Mashes of color as they were
lifted In tho changing light.
Tho Pierrots in their quaint clown
dress nnd their pretty Pierrettes In
diaphanous skirls weie among the
most effective. While tho eighteen
young ladles of tho Fire dance camo hi
for rounds of applause In their beau
tiful evolutions with their red frocks
and transparent, smokc-liko scnifs.
Tho Shepherds and Shcpherderscy
made a sti Iking scone In their flowered
gowns made In tho stylo familiar In
tho pictures by Iloueher, with their
berlbboned and Uower-tilmiucd urno.
and their splendid picture bats. Tho
men also wore handsome costumes In
this dance and carried Shepherds'
crooks.
Tin: couut daxck.
Tho Court dancers, of course, led In
the splendor ot their appearance. The
pastel-like effect of the ladles, with
their powdered hair and rich, soft sat
ins can only be seen to he appreciated,
They woro magnificent Jewels and wero
altended by courtleis no less sumptu
ously atthed,
Tho coRtumen were the topic of uni
versal favor. It would be an unenviable-
task to say that one was morn
attractive than another when all weie
so charming, fnlm tho dainty striped
frocks of lite pietty dairy maids to
tho lustrous broendes and satins ot
the court.

Dresden silk gown over a pink satin
petticoat, garlanded with flowers. Shu

like a picture in every pose.
Miss Alice Matthews, as the (Irani
Unchesve, was lur away lovelier than
ever that particular royal lady could
tlalm in be. She wore u lovel. .iilln
kowii. blazing with Jewels.
Miss Amy l.oulse Nnrthup made a
