1t is delightful to know that the sale of
seats indicates a brilliant opening for this
talented artistic to night. Certainly Miss
Lewis has been wise in the selection of her
support. Mr.. Harry Mainhall is beyond
doubt ore of our best leading men, and
Miss Esther Williams has been quite sue
cessful as "star" in the East, and is now
having a play written for her for next
season. Mr.. E. J. Holden and Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. J. Edmonds, Miss Trella FOltz, and
many other familiar faces will appear.
The repertoire is also one OF the best ever
presented here. An exchange speaks of
her performance thus: "Miss Jeffreys-
Lewis personation of "Clothilde" Is a
dramatic revelation; in fact Is more ex-
altedly dramatic parsonage than the "Clo-
thilde" of sardou. grandly as the character
was by him conceived and drawn. In a
word, the "Clothilde" of Jeffreys-Lewis Is
instinct with exalted dramatic genius,
from the slightest gesture to the most
emotional episodes"

LABOR MATTERS.
The Anarchists and Dynamiters
Must Paw the Penalty.

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE Central
Labor Union is out with petition on behalf
of the Chicago Anarchists and Socialists
who are condemned to death. The petition
claims that the conviction of these men was
not in accordance with just and equitable
administration OF the law and they are en-
titled to new trial. Copies of this docu-
ment have been left for signature at the
headquarters of the various unions, while
parties who appear to be specially interested
are going around among downtown merch-
ants. bankers and members OF the Ex-
change, soliciting their names. In som9
cases they are freely given, but in a great
majority of cases II ey are withheld: Trade
unfonists generally support the application:
One man to whom the petition is intrusted
expresses the conviction that out of $1,000
votes cast for Henry George, $4,000 of those
who cast them will sign 1t and he thinks
5000 more can be got with very little effort
in Brooklyn.
