A full house greeted the Baldwin-Mel-
vile company last night. The people
came from the South and the North
Highlands, from East Lake and from
West End. Ladies came in their family
carriages and all seemed bent upon en-
joying the evening. Popular prices to
good show are sure to be appreciated.
Even from the box office standpoint 1t is
good Frederick Warde played Falstaff
to $50 people at advanced prices, and If
the price had been less he would have
made more. Besides, there is inspiration
in a full house. And again, the more
people that come out the more there'll be
who want to come. The taste for the
theater grows by what it feeds upon.
Popular prices bring the people out and
that educates them to a love for the
drama.
The drama presented last night was the
Golden Giant Nine" and 1T pictured life
in mining town true to nature Amid
such an environment human nature is
seen in it's natural state, without the
veneer of the artificial life of the city.
George Klint played the Golden Giant"
to perfection. Wilson Day as Jack Mason
was true and brave, though gambler.
Alma Hearn pleased the audience very
much with her songs and dancing. She
makes charming soubrette. Laura
Alberta and the other players more than
sustained their regulations.

with q vocal solo.

Crisis in the Cleveland Labor Trou-
bles at Hand.
FEELING AMONG TIE WORKINGMEN
Viewing the Body Of Rettger
Who Was Killed Last Night.
DEBS TO BE FUNERAL ORATOR

CLEVELAND. Ohio, July 3.-Conditions
at the Brown Hosting Company's works
this morning indicated that the crisis was
rear at hand.
Despite the riots and the killing of WILL
lam Rettger last evening, quite a number
Of Eon-union men appeared at the works
this morning and took their places in the
shops. The police were on hand in large
numbers, but there was no indication OF
immediate trouble. The feeling of unrest
among the workmen in the manufacturing
district Is more intense than 1t has been at
any stage. Groups Of men on their way to
work idled along the streets to denounce
the police and the soldiers. The feeling
against Mayor McKisson and his cabinet is
very bitter.
The body of William Rettger who was
killed last night. has been removed to his
fathers home on Hoadley street. and many
the remains. Many shed tears. but when
the men left the house and saw the blue
coats they cursed, and many threatening
remark was passed.
The funeral Of Rettger will take place
from the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception on Sunday, and 1t will undoubtedly
be one of the largest ever held in he city.
Every workingman in the city will be in
vited to attend. and invitations will also
be sent to every union in northern Ohio.
The men will wear the white ribbon, and
1t Is thought that they will turn out 10000
or 10000 men. The Structural Iron Work
ers' Union will hold meeting today. and
action will be taken condemning the mayor
and the police In the strongest terms. Many
of the shops will close earlier today than
usual in order that the men may be on
hand.
Several companies Of militia are under
arms at their various armorieS throughout
the city.
There is a feeling Of great unrest among
way Company. Last night when Company
F boarded car to go to the center Of the
city. the conductor promptly stepped of
and refused to conduct car which carried
the soldiers. The mayors proclama ton
forbidding all persons from congregating
in the vicinity of the Brown works was
posted in various places about the city this
morning
Eugene Debs has been asked by telegraph
to deliver the funeral Grafton Sunday over
the remains of the striker who was shot
and killed in last nights riot.
1t has been decided to suspend work and
take the non-union men out Of the works
at noon today instead of this evening The
strikers aud their sympathizers are now
gathering around the plant in large num-
bers.
Later-The non-union men were escorted
out of the Brown works at noon by the
police without serious trouble.
1t was. of course. supposed by the strikers
and their sympathiZers that the plant
would not close down until the usual hour
at 5 o'clock. and this step the part OF
the company and authorities will undoubt-
edly prevent any further rioting today.
