Miss Ada Gray, with a very excel

House last evening in East Lynne, and
gave the best rendition of the charac
ter of Lady Isabel and Madam Vine
ever Witnessed in this city. AS Lady
Isabel, the young bride, she was trust
ing and confiding, but sorely torment
ed by her cruelly jealous suspicious,
until ut last she yields to the villainou
temper and leaves home, husband,
children and all, ouly to find that she
had been deceived. In this character
all the passions are brought in play,
and each WAS delineated In a mastery
manner. Her conception OF Madam
Vine, the erring wife, tortured with e
remorse that never sleeps, was

scene, where, as she sees her Willie

Mr.. Thomss johnson stated to re-
porter OF the REPUBLICAN, this morn
Ing that the report which was published
v, sterday of the Harlan q Hollings'
worth Company dischafging fifteen men
ON acooant Of their being connected
with the knights OF Labor, "was lie
from the whole CLOTH" and while he
thou ght II was the desire Of the news
papers to publish the truth, be thought
they were often imposed upon by I'M
principled persons. He said that only
six men had been laid of In the ship
joiners' department.. and that he was
Obliged 10 do that for want OF work,
and not because he, or the company,
wished 10 get rid Of members OF the
order.
Upon being asked his opinion OF the
Knights of Labor, he said that he
thought It an excellent order, as lite
principles cannot but tend TO elevate
labor aud improve the condition OF the
working GLASS, but he also thought 1t
would be we'll for the members TO
guard against permitting designing or
|uupripoipled men to have any control
of It's affairs. Some of his best men
belong to the order, and no man ever
WAS or ever will be discharged or laid
off on that account. Mr.. johnson,
upon being asked about the trouble
with the rivet heaters last week, said
that he was waited upon by them one
morning with request for an increase
| OF 10 cents n week, making them "a
each. He told them he would see what
could be done, and Immediately had
| eight Of them, who had been with him
for some time, raised, while the re-
manning four, who were not 30 pro-
icieut, were kept at 81 80 per week.
The boys again waited upon him,
aud he told them what he had done
and they seemed satisfied. They went
TO their work aud he was surprised
few minutes later ~ see them quit
and leave the yard. Some Of them
came back In few days. and after ad-
uniting that they were wrong In doing
as they had, wanted TO return to work,
but were not permitted to do so, as
their places had been filed. There
were, however, two exceptional cases,
where tho boys were given their old
places back. Mr.. johnson also said
that the report which had been cirou'
lated about the boys being urged TO
strike by the men was not true, rs they
admitted having gone out Of their own
volition.

The unalterable criterion
in business is always
The Price

and as we have but ONE Rsce
that must always be as low
as our competitors after they
have fallen to their lowest
price. Quality, style and all
considerations in the pur-
chase of all articles are reg.
ulated by this decree. and
all go for naught when the
selling figure does not strike
the buyer as reasonable and
right. One OF the notices
of our business is the price
tells, and everybody tells the
price and experience has
forced us to believe that no
greater amount OF truth was
ever condensed into a single
axiom. We believe the best
advertisement is the price,
and believing, as we have
stated, that the price con-
trolls all considerations, We
should be glad to give you a

method by a close COMPARE
