PHILADELPHIA, Dec. I5-The com
p~ositors working for the morning papers,
the Times, Record, Inquirer and North
AmeyicoH, made = demand at 6 O'Clock
this evening that their wages be increased
from 40 cents to As cents per thousand
ems. All OF the compositors are members
OF the international Typographical union.
The Times granted the increase, as did
also the North american, although the
latter paper did so under protest.
Proprietor SIngerly OF the Record re-
fused TO pay extra or confer with the
strikers. Instead, he went to work in
dustriouslY to secure a n~on-union force and
by s J. o'clock forty four men we're busy set
ting type in his Office. This is about half
the number usually at work. Mr.. Singerly
expresses confidence in his ability to get
along without Union men and says his
paper will be issued tomorrow as usual.
At the Inquirer office after several con-
ferences between Proprietor Elverson and
a committee representing the strikers, the
men agreed to continue work pending a
settlement.
The Record is now paying an average
of about A cents and the scale presented
today really amounted to a reduction on
the whole in its composing room. The
objection of Mr.. SiDgerly was not to the
new scale. but to the proposed interior
ence with the business of the Office.

United States Mail Wagon b
CHICAGO, Dec. I5-Five daring high

mail wagon aud at a revolyer's point
forced the driver to throw out several
sacks. The wagon was then sent on its
Journey, the driver being threatened with
instant death ii he made an cutlery or

effected by the bandits that the driver
failed to utilize the services of a large bull
dog beside him GU the seat. Near mid
night the stolen mail sacks slit open and

Superior street. in the northern division
OF the city, fully three miles from the
scene OF the robbery.
At that hour every available mar of the

inventory was made of the contents of

Russia Does Not Want Aid

ST PETERSBURG, Dec. i5.-The Mos.

.'LoUIS THE ELEVENTH.


Louis AZ was presented at the opera
house last evening by Thoa W. Keene to
a large and well pleased audience.
The character of Louis YI is one Of
interest to the student OF the history of
the rulers OF France and while it pos
sesses no ordinary historical interest yet it
stands out as one of the most cruel in a
long line of cruel mOnarchs who with
superior cunning and craftlness surpassed
his contemporaries in the wickedness of
his age. The tragedy as adapted for
Mr.. Keene IS a picture OF the closing
years of a kings reign when awakening
conscience for his many acts of cruelty
and the fear of approaching death began
to arouse within him an abject cowardice
and led him to assume a hYpocritical SEM
blance of reverence for the forms Of re-
ligion.
Iu the conflict between the fear of
death and the love OF his earthly power
lies the strength of the character, and
that Mr.. Keene is equal to the task Of
portraying graphically such a powerful
creation none who saw him last night can
gainsay. With perfect vocalization he
maintained the r%asping hardness of voice
OF a peevisb old man through all his
varying moods from pitiful subserYincy tC
the priests to the almost incoherent roar.
ings OF mauiacal rage against those who
thwarted him. In facial expression every
emotion Of the crafty, cunning, unscrupu-
lous, hypocrtical king was shown and his
features told the workings of his mind SO
truthfullv that words seemed unnecessary
to tell the story. Keene's gestures are
not extravagant and while the violence
and rage of the character demand force
OF expression yet at no time can he be
accused of wanting. Whatever rank
Keene may take among tragedians of the
present time there can be no doubt that
as Louis ~ he can be cqualled or ex.
celled but by few.
The excellence of Keene's perior-
nance does not suffer any detraction by
the acting of his company which is uni.
formly good. Mr.. Frank Hennig a:
"Nemonos" was especially pleasing while
the characters OF Oliver and Col

Thos. Gregory met with a peculiar ad
venture at the shop yesterday. His
sleeve was caught in the drill which he
was operating and the rotary motion at
once began to absorb his SHIRT. Gregory 5
instinct was to ave himself by resistance,
without thinking OF stopping the machine.
The consequence was that he held back
as hard as he knew how while the
machine continued to remorselessly draw
in his superfuous clothing. Before he
got loose he was entirely denuded OF the
clothing on the upper part of his person.
Beyond the strain he had undergone
Gregory suffered no harm from his ad-
venture.

WANT INCORPORATION nrumTs
A Number OF Sue Articles FIIed IN

Three bills, praying for incorporation
rights, were filed in the secretary of

Sheridan Mill and Mercantile company,
with a capital stock OF 10000; the
Saratoga Water company, with a capital
of $50, 900; and the Mount Hope Gene
terry company with a capital of $40, 1000.
The first paper sets forth the many ad-
vantages that a mill and mercantile com.
pauy would be to the community and
show good reason that such an enterprise
would be a source OF profit to the whole
state. The second is presented bv a num-
Der of gentlemen who wish to enlarge

third show why such a cemetery should
