GOODBYE SWEETHEART ,
THE PEOPLES COLUMN,
Protest From "a Rider" on tho Change
of Schedule of the EIectrics

To THE EDITOR OF THE TINES: Proba-
bly, you arc aware that a change IN the
schedule of the cars on tho Crystal
Spring line OF tho Roanoke Street Rail
way went into effect to day. If you arc,
you are better informed on this subject
that some of the patrons OF the line
were until they wished to make use of
some of tho so-called ommod alton.
Your correspondent is not familiar
with the stipulations upon which the
franchise was given the Roanoke Street
hallway Company, but it is fair to pre-
same that one OF the articles mentioned
Is to the cfect that cars shall be run as
convenience To the public rs the com.
pany fulfilling this obligation when it
changes US schedule without giving it's
patrons fair and timely notice that
change is to occur? 1 do not saw that
no notice was given in this instance,
but the writer did not know anything
OF the change until seven o'clock this
evening, when informed by a friend.
Judging from facts since given me,
there were quite q few other people n
the same fix. If you will refer to one of
this evenings papers you will SEQ that
the schedule OF the cars there published
on page 8, does not seem to indicate
any change taking effect to-day
Now, as the Roanoke Street Railway
Company's officials may object to being
criticised without suggestion as to
simple way to overcome the difficulty,
let mo suggest that they have our friend
Stone print some fair sized placard, say
twelve inches square, bearing the
words: "Change of schedule Tomorrow
or now schedule to-day" and hang in
the cars. Please do not think this is
an ad for Stone for he knows nothing at
all about this article, but if he wants to
print such cards make his imprint on
them and present them to the Railway
Company. l know the pratrons of the
Crystal Spring line will feel greatly in
debted to him. Then we can see if the
Railway Company will make use of
them or not.
Too bad l have to "kick" this way so
early in the year, isn't it? A RIDER.

Lillian Lewis.

1t is like giving perfume to tho violet
to write words Of commentator about
Lillian Lewis. The character of La
Tioba in "Good-Bye, Sweetheart" fur
nishes her the fitting opportunity for
her special gifts of voice, manner and
play of features which have brought her
a permanent reput ation as an artistic of
tho first rank. There is delicate stroke
of nature in all her movements and a
keen suggestion Of su bducd and irresist-
able womanlineSs, even when She is
silent in her remarkable by play and
mobile countenance. Her audience, to
the greater portion OF which her art is
familiar, ere always alertly responsive
in tho quiet, continuous appreciation, if
not in noisy demonstration. IT is the
beauty of this quiet art and the gentle
loneliness OF the woman which makes
Lillian Lewis the beloved of her public.
About the wrong woman one may go on
saying ad infinitum this woman is SUI
premely beautiful and produce no eff
t0ct on tho public, and yet the right
woman will produce the sensation with.
out so much as word. Such is the case
with Lillian Lewis, when she appears
there is responsive snap in every eye.
1t may be that genuine loveliness is
telephone and that appreciation OF it
IS masonic, at all events everybody has
the password Lillian Lewis beauty
would not answer to tho Niebelungen
traditions, it is like her art, too calm
too gentle for that. Lillian Lewis
beauty is of that type which makes a
Christian feel that she is a woman with
a white soul; which makes Musselman
feel that she is fashioned for Mahomet's
garden, and in despite of that she is like
the superb grici, she has corn and vine
and oil in her face, and to see her in
"Good-Bye, Sweetheart" does man or
woman good.

Geo. w. Monroe as "My Aunt Bridget"

As musical comedy my Aunt
Bridget" is the best American produc
ton it has been my lot to witness.
George Monroe's delineation of the
good-natured, uncouth Irish woman
trying to be a"nice lady is unparalleled
in brilliant eccentric character paint
ing. Bridget's studying etiquette from
a book to avoid improprieties while en-
tertaining some guests, whom she is
invited especially to show off before,
and awkwardly stumbling into the
blunders she studies to avoid, gives OPP
portunities for delicate bits of humor-
GUS satire, which Monroe's quick, keen
perception takes advantage of and
keeps his auditors in constant roar
Nature gifted Monroe with wonderful
versatility of facial expression. he
pantomimes his satire and comedy with
breadth and depth of facial gesture
that needs no words to impress even the
most obtuse. His satire tickles the
fancy because his insidious suggestive
ness leaves just little something for
our Imagination to complete.

TRUCK STORIES IN PENNSYL
VANIA.
Twenty-Seven Places Run by Biz
Corporations III Defiance OF Law

A clerk in a Pennsylvania coal COM
pany supply store" has made some
interesting revelations regarding that
particular method or robbng the work
ingman, says the Wheeling Register.
There are twenty-seyen supply
stores in the Pennsylvania coal ana
coke region, Notwithstanding the state
law on the subject, and all are owned
by the coal companies or by heavy
stockholders in the corporations.
Twenty Thousand miners or employees
Of coke ovens are compelled to deal at
these stores, and assuming that the
average annual purchases Of n Gus
toner reaches $500, we have S4,000,0W
as the total OF the business. All the
supplies for all these stores are
bought for cash, by one man, who has
an office IN Pittsburg, and the employe
quoted says he is enabled, by the mag
fittlde Of his orders and spot cash
payments, TO buy from II 10 ~ per
cent. cheaper than the individual priv
ate merchant, while the store prices
to miners are from 10 to % per cent,
higher than at other stores In other
words, he figures a profit TO the
'fpluck7me" store of from % to 90 per
cent. on a total annual business OF
81, 900, 600, and concludes that the
stores are often Far more profitable
to the coal companies than the mines.
These company stores have no bad
debts, as other merchants have. A
miner can only obtain goods when he
has money coming to him from the
coal company. When he exhausts that
balance, he can obtain no more sup
plies until he has done more work,
and as a result of this system he often
sees no cash for months at time.
In other words, 1t Is the Pullman
system In another form. AT Pullman
the employe earns certain amount by
his labor, and the company offsets 1t
for rent, water, gas, Improvements,
schools. library etc, all returning
large percentage Of profit. In the coal
regions 1t is very much the same, and
under both systems the empoyes are
virtually slaves.
