LOVES EXTRACT"

There are three maid servants In
Loves Extract" the new. ~farcical
comedy adapted from the French OF
Raymond and Gastyne, and produced at
the Fifth Avenue Theatre last night by
Mcssrs. Carl and Theodor Resented.
These maid servants dust the furni-
ture las maid servants do, on the STAGE
and chatteringly tell lis all about their
mistresses, and what we are to ex-
pect. BE sure OF one thing: When q
playwright has to explain himself by
means OF his servants he hasn't much
to say Of any Importance. Go n see

what / say.
There is no use mIncing matters and
attempting to analyze this farce. 1t Is
dreadful rubbish that aluo I def $ clpg 1.

and common: It's humor consists In tho

Though 1t sound Sarah Jancy to say
that the Metropolitan public demands

We may say to ourselves that we prefer
more intellectual themes. but In our own

made to lay 1t on the table. This was
carried by a vote of thirty-three yeas to

Appropriately enough, the motion to

Pennsylvania. Mr.. Quay is known not

To the Editor:
The curse OF the woman who is compelled to
work for her living. and also Of man. is the
woman who merely works for dress or pin money.
She has a husband or a father to support her,
so can afford to work for less than living wages:
she thereby cuts down her unfortunate sister.

prices, The Kings Daughters and such societies
should take hold Of this question. They should
also take hold OF stores md business men who
pay their women less thun living wages; they
drive many a woman into the paths OF vice. Let
all women who have hearts refuse to buy OF
stores that pay less than they should. The bus

morally a thief. Let womankind organize, ind

refuse to buy OF them. q, C.

The Philosophy of United Labor.

To the Editor;
Mr. Carson. the reason why the union men
we're not successful at Csrnegie's was because
there we're too many non-union men ready to take
their places. Labor cannot be successful when
II lights itself. and the Congressional Committee
found higher wnges paid at CarneG.e's than any
where else N the world In hat line. Now. Mr..
Free Trader. don't YOU know that under our
present system CT civilization labor ard capital
are both separate factors Of production. and Ia
Dor must organize TO be on an equal footing with
| capital. Let US suppose one capitalist employs
n thousand men. II these zen are not organized.
each individual treats with all the capital In the
establishment. All the capital is represented by
one man but one laborer represents but a thou
sandth part OF the labor, and he Is not In a po-
sition OF equality. The laborers. therefore, unite
their labor, and speaking through one reprssen-
trtivc place all tho labor against all the capital.
but both their interests are the same. II pro-
lection Ia good for the capitalist 1t Ia good for the
llborer. You have had more hard times under
tho shadow Of the Wilson bill than the countr,
has seen for forty years The party who turns III,
business interests OF this country over to th,
old aristocrats and theorists OF the South will
always make a blunder. as they have done.
