Mr.. DelaScO is a Canadian by birth
whose professional career is thus far mainly
identified with successes in Europe. After
q years tuition with Mrs. Kempton, a
leading vocal teacher in Chicago he spent
six months in Paris. Then he entered the
Royal Conservatory of Music at Milan,
Italy, and after six months experience
there he spent four years with the famous

and her singing is never heard except to be

TIE LEATHER TRUST.
Savannah Shoe Merchants Propose
Method of Defeating II.

Savannah Shoe Merchants Propose
Method of Defeating It.
The shoe dealers, both retail merchants
and iobbers here, are very much wrought
up over the leather combine which is soon
to be effected in the New England states.
Meetings Of the sole leather manufacturers
who intend to enter the proposed trust, have
been held in New York every Tuesday for
the last month for the purpose OF formulat-
ing plans for the combine.
Savannah handles about $4,000 cases Of
shoes every year, and while trust which is
calculated to raise the price of shoes would
operate materially to the disadvantage of
the dealer, it is the men, women and chil-
dren who wear the shoes, upon whom the
burden OF the extra cost ultimately falls. IL
is these, therefore, who are most interested
In the workings of such combination and
the efforts TO defeat their attempt TO in
crease prices.
The dealers here are complaining of the
advances which have already been made on
goods, where they are hardly able to stand
It. An advance of q : cents to ~ cents
per pair is reported on certain classes of
goods, as the outcome of the trust moves
msnt which Is now crystalizing into shape
Inc class OF goods upon which this sd-
vance has been made offers very small
margin under any circumstances, and the
rise In the price as we'll as being a detri-
ment to trade, is looked upon as the cue for
a general rise upon all sorts and kinds of
shoes.
The merchants here offer proposition to
thWart the movements of this trust which
is at least worthy of consideration. OF
course the dealers cannot form trust or
combination, but they can by agreement
among themselves do their business with
the manufacturers who refuse to enter the
combine. There will no doubt be some OF
the sole leather manufacturers who will not
join the trust, and these by increasing their
output can secure the large volume of the
trade If they but take advantage of the op-
portunity. There is little doubt but that
something will be done to defeat the object
of the trust.
Pertinent to the combine it may be stated
that large orders have been placed by many
retail dealers with manufacturers, who
will have to fill their contracts whether
they lose by the rise in the price OF sole
leather or not. Others, however, who
failed to get in early orders, may suffer ac-
oordingly as a result.

AT THE THEATER.
THE Charity Ball" Tonight the Weeks
Only Play.

The Charity Ball. Tonight the Weeks
Only Play.
The only attraction of Holy week at the
theater will be 1.-The Charity Ball" tonight
by Daniel Frohman's company which played
The Wife" here two months ago.
DeMille and Belssco, the authors of
The Wife" and 'The Charity Ball." have
conceived these plays in their happier vein
and given them q touch very akin to nat
ure. Both plays deal with life in the upper
strata of society, and yet are totally diff
ferent. In The Wife" Washington city
and its diplomatic circles form the center
OF attraction. and it is an interesting study
to even those well acquainted with the eapi-
tai.
1.-THE Charity Ball" is laid in New York,
and one of the not least interesting features
is the great annual Charity ball in full blast
at the Metropolitan opera house. Both Of
the plays have been seen here before and
therefore do not require detailed account
Of plots and incidents. The scenery, which
is entirely new, was specially designed for
the present company, and is said to be- un-
usually handsome.
