NO SOCIALISM IN HIS.

A respected and honored member of
the "cultured" class, IA manager OF one
OF the largest business interests of Provi-
dence, wanted to argue the idea of So
ciaism out of the head of one of his
wage-slaves who would persist in having
an opinion of his own, and expressing
his higher ideals and hopes.
''The Socialistc State would be unen-
durable" said the representative of the
'better classes" "How would YOU
manage the theatres, for instance?
Would the Cooperative Commonwealth
hire actorst" ave would manage that
nicely, replied the socialstic son of toll.
"The theatre as a public utility would he
placed under the control of the board of
education, and actors would he hired
and managed as other lines of education
are. You see that would place the the
atre on a higher moral and intellectual
basis than it has ever been before. And
then, like education, it would be access.
ible to all classes. The working classes
would not then be barred from the finest
drama and crowded into cheap museums.
Yes, it is one Of the rich features Of the
soclalistic commonwealth that the
theatre will be made blessing and an
educational force for the whole people"
But interjected the respectable
gentleman, there are some shows the
State would not run. They would never
have any of these leg shows. The board
of education would not run around and
hire lot of lewd women TO come on
the stage and dance practically naked
before lot of bald heads"
mo, probably not, the show would be
put on higher plane" exclaimed the
Socialist.
well, cried the representative of re-
fined society. "when | want TO see a
naked woman dance. dressed in three
cents worth of lace and ribbon, and
pay my twenty-five cents, why, want
to, that's all. want none Of your So
cialisIn i'm mine" And this scion If cap
italism wheeled away in utter disgust,
while the poor worker was left IN severe
meditation, saying that is the first argu-
ment against Socialism that ever heard
| could not anewer. "-Ir0r. People.

JOHN SWlNTON.

The welcome news that John
Swinton has recovered his health
will be received with delight by his
many friends everywhere. If his
great abilities are to be devoted once
more to the cause of Iabor's emanci-
patton, it is to be hoped that they
will receive a more substantial recog-
milton than has heretofore been given.
Especially would this be the case if
his work and influence tended to es-
tablish a practical and successful
means of propaganda and progressive
organization among American work
men of the more intelligent class.

PROLETARlANS ALSO.
heartlessness of Sanger, the Theatri.
cal Manager.

Miss Helen Weathersby was play
ing with Frank W. Sanger's "lIarbor
Lights company at Pittsburg when
the news of the sudden death of her
lover, Archie Foster, at Denver,
Frustrated her. She at once sought
leave of absence to attend the funeral
in Milwaukee,. The management,
however, refused her permission to
leave until the next day, and COM
PEELED her to fill her part on the eve
ming of the day upon which she re-
celved the sad news. Upon her ar
rival in Milwaukee she received a
dispatch from Sanger asking when
she would rejoim the company. She
replied that the Press club and Elks
had fixed the funeral for Sunday,
and that by leaving Immediately
after the exercises she could rejoin
the company at the Wednesday mat
lnee. In respond to this she received
4 dispatch from Sanger saying that
the funeral ought to be held on Sat
urday in order that she could get
back to Philadelphia by the first of
the week. She found herself power
less, however, to change thearrange-
ments, and the funeral took place
on Sunday.
The heart broken woman left Mil
waukee at 4 o'clock on the following
morning, caught the limited express
at Chicago, and reached Philadelphia
III time to resume her theatrical du-
ties on Tuesday evening instead of
on Wednesday. What was her as
tonishment and grief, however, upon
presenting herself at the theatre to
learn that she had been discharged
during her absence and her place
filled 10y another. 1t WAS too late in
the season to obtain another engage
ment. and SO, literally stranded in q
strange place, she was of necessity
compelled to go to New York and
rejoin her family. There she is at
present. Il is said that these facts
have been verified by the local Press
club and Elk lodge, and that they
will be embodied in a circular to be
issued soon, with some caustic com
comments upon Sanger's methods.
If the theatrical profession would
take the trouble to 60 II little deeper
into the matter they would trouble
themselves less about Sanger's meth
ods than about a system of things
that permits such creatures as Sanger
to tyannlze over Others. Perhaps,
some day, the actors will wake mp to
the truth that they are proletarians
as well as other wage workers.

ANOTHER WHACk AT THE
ARlSTOCRATS.

at is clear that the men who are now
striking, or leaving their work, are not
ipjuring the Burlington. for that road is
actually prosperlng; and it is possible
that if severe disciplinary measures were
resorted to by managers of the roads now
threatened with strike, and if engineers
who feign illness could be blacklisted
throughout the country, the striking
fever would soon snbside, even if il
should not be permanently cured, -

Mr.. CardOza's Little story.


Mr.. Claude II. Cardoza, a well-known
baritone, formerly of Baltimore. has re-
turned 10 this city from an extended
southern tour in time to attend the
fashionable wedding in Brooklyn We'd
nesday evening Of Mr.. Irvine Weisiger,
Of Richmond, and Miss May Y. Wyatt,
of Brooklyn. Mr. Cardo2a brings a
new stock Of interesting stories from the
South.
Il WAS talking TO friend at a hotel
down there" said Nlr. Cardoza, "when
a seedy-looking individual with a richly
colored nose entered. OF course, he
had been wounded at Gettysburg, lost
the use of his left arm at Appomattox
Courthouse, suffered shipwreck in Hamp-
ton Roads, and had been captured with
his face to the enemy. He only
wanted a loan of five dollars, and
as security he could offer two
lottery tickets, perhaps worthless,
perhaps worth thousands. The south
erner. who is a merchant, said he could
not negotiate the lottery tickets, but he
would in the kindness Of his big south
em heart advance the shabby genteel
man two silver dollars. 1t was accepted,
and the lottery tickets were laid on the
counter. i don't want them, said the
merchant That's al right, was the re-
ply = take the tickets.
1.-The kind hearted man stored the
lottery tickets away in corner Three
DAYS later he learned that the tickets had
drawn Il prize OF $4,000 and the last /
heard OF ii WIS that the merchant was in
search of his impc cunious friend. He
wanted to offer him thousand-dollar
bonus ON the lottery tickets. If you
meet the fellow, whom you will recognize
by MS red nose and seedy appearance,
send him to Newport News, Va"
