Mr. Reed, one Of the cleyerest high

clan from Illinois. with his inimicable
drollery was a politician ito the man
ner born" and he captured the large
audience with his clever acting as easi-

candidate, Peter Woolley. He was call
cd before the curtain again and again,
and the crowd was never satisfied until
he came out for q speech, which he
made in his exceptionally happy vein.
The original twentieth century wo-
man plays a highly important part in
the piece, but the effectiveness would be
lost were the role In the hands of any
one less capable than Miss Isadore
Rush, whose lovely face and shapely
figure, with her extreme gracefulness,
give to the mannish cast she assumes,
in the language of the play, 1.-THE COM

THE COOPERS STRIKE
MANAGER nrKEE MAKES A STATE
RHINESTONE INSIDE FACTS
Not Hitherto Known In Regard
TO the rroubie-A conserva-
tive Talk.

L. w. Mckee. superintendent Of
the cooper shop on the North
Side, was seen yesterday after
noon by q Gazette reporter and
requested to give his side Of the trouble
between the operatives and manage
merit. Inresponse, Mr.. Mckee said:
About the only visible effect OF the
temporary walkout was to cut down
the pay roll OF last week from 800 to
$3.50. We have here 80 employees, and
at their meeting last Friday they de-
cided. by over two-third vote. TO re-
turn to work. Here is the Objectionable
timber to which reference was made"
Here the reporter was shown a lot
OF sapling hickory poles. which did not
look as II they could be worked into
any kind OF material.
You VIII see" remarked Mr.. Mckee,
that this material has to be soaked
thoroughly before 1t becomes pllabie
and can be worked. my reasons for
purchasing these poles were from the
fact that the difference between the
cost of the poles and the prepared
hoops was about 80 1-3 per cent, which
was given to the employees instead OF
the dealers, In the prepared hoops.
thought the men would be pleased with
the difference, but a few extremists
seem to be dissatisfied, so l agreed to
thoroughly prepare the pole timber by
soaking. to purchase no more pole tim
Der. but hereafter to buy only prepared
hoops"
Then all seems to be satisfied be-
tween the management and the en-
ployes?"
Yes, so far as I know, and all have
returned to work willingly hut you are
aware that there always exists in every
labor union some ultra people who are
never satisfied"
Mr. Mckee appears to be very con-
servative In all his views, and i'm
presses anyone by his Willingness to do
the fair and right thing.

The San Francisco call., 1896-05-13

and its destination proved to be the pier
at San Quentin where the tugboat Vigi-
lant had been waiting for two hours to
carry the two passengers to San Fran
cisco.
Without baggage or even cane or para
sol and unhampered by friends, the happy
pair, oblivious to all else in the first
moments of their married life, started at
once from their special car tor the boat. A
small plank was laid from the rail TO the
pier, and the groom ventured upon it. He
slipped and nearly fell overheard. but soon
after was safely on deck with his pretty
wife.
They took their positions on the leeward
side of the cabin, where blissfully con-
sclous that they were alone, they sat very
close together on two small camp stools,
the groom's arm lovingly about his bride.
And this position they maintained during
the trip to this City.
The captain had instructed the engineers
to observe extreme caution, as the two
passengers aboard represented a little
matter OF about SIS, 900, ,000 But that only
increased their desire to leave the engine
room one by one to get q glimpse of the
valuable lives in their charge.
At 2:40 o'clock the Vigilant arrived
safely at the Folsom-street pier. where a
horse and buggy stood in waiting, as a
part OF the general plan. No one was in
attendance. Hobart himself unhitched
the horse, assisted his bride to the seat,
got in and drove off in the direction OF San
Mateo, near which place he owns a coun-
try residence, surrounded by extensive
grounds.
The bride was attired very simply in a
becoming serge skirt, shirt-waist and black
straw sailor hat. The groom wore a plain
black sack suit and low-cut patent leather
shoes.
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-13

investigation was directed by THE CALL.
The granite have already taken
steps to notify Colonel Fred Grant OF New
York and U. S. Grant Jr. of San Diego
that prison work has been employed on
the monument.
Last evening Cornelius O'Connor, one
OF the managers of the monument asso-
citation, was asked where the granite ped
estal came from, and he replied, from
Placer County,
Ibid it not come from Folsom2" he was
asked, and in reply ne said: cit came
from quarry in Placer County and never
was at Folsom"
In reply to the next question, "Was the
stone dressed by convicts2" Mr.. O'Connor
said: at makes no difference who dressed
the stone. Pay no attention to that"
The CALL at once stablished communi-
cation with Warden Aull at Folsom Prison.
The warden was asked:
WAS the granite pedestal for the Grant
monument dressed ut Folsom?"
He replied: "Yes, it was
WAS it dressed by prison convicts2"
ut was" responded the Warden.
where did the stone come from ?"
From the Folsom quarry" replied the
Warden.
"Are you sure that it did not come from
Placer County?"
ut came from the Folsom quarry"
WAS the stone quarried by convicts?"
1T was quarried by prison labor" re-
sponded the Warden.
Where is the pedestal now?"
"ln Golden Gate Park"
The Granite-cutters' Journal, published
at Baltimore, relates an incident connected
with the finishing of the celebrated Grant
monument in Riverside Park. New York.
Recently committee caIled Colonel Fred
Grants attention to rumor that the orna-
mental work for the interior was to be
performed by non-union men and he
promptly replied: 'sThat will not do; my
father was union man and his tomb
should be finished by union men or left
unornamented.'
There should be enough money in the
Grant monument fund of San Francisco to
pay for tirst-class free labor on the monu-
ment work.
A vast deal of money was subscribed
and never paid in, yet considerable sum
