A NEW COTTON PICKER.
It Is tho Invention ot a Grandson of the
Famous Ell Whitney.
New Haven, Aug. 29.—EH Whitney,
of this city, a grandson of the famous
Inventor of the cotton gin. has Invent
ed a machine which m-ay revolutionize
cotton picking.
No means of gathering the product
from the plant has hlthereo been dis
covered. The Whitney liarvester, as
the machine is called, resembles an or
dinary grain harvester. The mechanism
is operated by an endless chain at
tached to one of the rear wheels of the
lioneater. A series of vertiool cylin
ders. suspended from the bottom of the
wagon, with hooks nnd rolls attached,
gather the cotton from the plant and
drop the pods Into n basket as the har
vester is driven over the field. By
means of this machine two men and
two horses can harvest as much cotton
as 100 workmen. Experiments already
made show that tho amount of cotton
harvested Is about 85 per cent, of the
amount pf the field. Mr. Whitney owns
tho factory in which his grandfather
worked, near Lake Whitney In this
city, arid perfected his invention.

RESUMING AT NEIIV BEDFORD.
Ono Thousand of the Striking Opera
tives Back to Work Today.
Now .Bedford. Mass., Aug. 2?.—The
north end was nstlr an hour earlier tills
morning khan at any time fllnoe the
great striko clogged tho wheels of In
dustry. ...
As early as 5 o'clock operatives with
dinner .pallfl In their hands and overalls
and aprons under Choir arms weru to tie
seen wending their way to the Bennett
It Columbia mills. Hundreds of em
ploye* of Other mills, some impelled by
curiosity, others moved by tho hopo of
securing employment, turned their woes
In the same direction. Promptly at 6:30
the buzz, hum and whir of the muchln-
ery replaced tho alienee wfriVch haa
reigned since the greatest strike In New
Bedford's history became master of the
Industrial situation. Not till of the army
of workers attached to these great en-
teuprises 'were so fortunate as to be able
to resume htelr labors. Borne were des
tined to dtsa-ppolntmenrt. Columbia
mills No. 2 still remain silent nml In
the No. 1 mill Bevcn or eight pairs of
mules are stttMdl*. Three pairs of mules
In the Bennett mill No. 2 were not
started and five pains In No. 1 mill are
not In operation. The exact number
by which the ranks of the unemployed
has been curtailed by the starting up
of these mills cannot be determined,
but probably about 1,000 are now at
work at Hies* plants.
TITO BTAJTUS OF THE STRIKE.
NSW Bedford, Aug, 29,-The strike
situation remains practically unchanged
and little excitement attended the open
ing of the Bennett and Columbia mills
fills morning. The stirring speeches
made on the common hsve made the
manufacturers In a very even state of
mbnl, although they refuse to have any
thing to say in reply to any of those
meetings, ft being against their policy
to be drawn Into conversation about
any notion of this kind the strikers roiy
take. The optrwttvea have a more hope
ful feeling since the managers or the
Bennett and Oalumhla mill* have given
In to their demands. The exodus of
mill help from the cKy has partially
ceased, and only twenty through tick
ets to Canada were sold, making 103 In
all- By the starting up of the Bennrtt
and Columbia mills about one-third or
the card and picker room help is now
employed.
RESIST HEALTH OFFICERS. .'
Poles and Germans Refuse to Obey a
(Health Ordinance.
Milwaukee, Aug. 29.—Tho Southsldo
Polish and Low German districts are
how In poMteecion of a howling mob.
pity Health Commissioner Kempstcr
has drpped all effort to control tho sit
uation there, nnd the state board of
health, which Is sitting today, will
probably declare a quarantine on tho
lufet-lod district, to be strictly enforced
by strrtohlng a cordon of state troops
urund It. This is a plan which has
heretofore been dismissed and tacitly
agreed on ne an emergency resort. Tho
Southsldo mob are driving the guards
a-way from the house quarantined by
tho health department, und defy the
authorities to 'take any more patients
to tho isolation hospital, which they
say is so badly managed that nearly
half the patients taken there die with
in a week.
Two rlotors nrfested yoetrday after
noon wero discharged today, though
the fifty police engaged In yesterday's
bnitJe with the 300 angry women had
a dozen or moro broken heads nud
gjthurcd up a bushel or two ot clubs,
potato mashers, rolling pins, saur
kraut stain pern and other evidences of
tho ournostness of therlotlng. Mean
time, the new temporary birracks near
the principal residence portion of Uio
city s in process of erection, despite
the threats of residents that they win
bum tho place down before tho first
paitlent arrives there.
Fifteen now aloes are reported today,
all front 'the riotous district, nnd tha
reckless exposure of hundreds of per-
sons to the disease during die riots of
yeaCerdny und tday will add scores
more to -tho "Irk list within a week.
