The Edison Nitascope and Phono-
graph company gave private rehear-
sal last night at McKennons The
Vitascope worked superbly. 1t is q
wonderful machine and TO those who
have never witnessed its work, it will
prove a startling revelation. The Vita.
scope is Edison's masterpiece, and too
much cannot be said OF the marvellous
invention. The Rlce-lrwin heroic
kissing scene is alone worth the price
OF admission.

NEW WOMAN'S BROOM
MRS. PAUL UNDERTAKES TO CLEAN
CHlCAGO'S STREETS.

She Has Long Been Interested In Santa
tiOn and Now Has q Chance to Reform
ChicagO's Street Cleaning System-Her
Thorough and Vigorous Methods.
Chicago has at last had to turn to
woman to have its street cleaning done.
For years the condition of the main
thoroughfares and alleys in the business
part of the city has been something
which even the most patriotic citizens
admitted was an open disgrace. Every
one knew that the rottenness of munic
ipal politics was at the bottom of it.
There were inspectors who didn't in
spect, but who held their positions be-
cause they had pull.
It was rough on Chicago, but no one
had the courage to demand that the po-
litical bosses should put the business of
street cleaning in competent hands 1t
was looked upon as one of the unavOid-
able evils of corrupt city government.
At last the Civic Federation and Mu-
nicipal Order league took up the matter
and then there came to the front a
woman with a purpose who did not hes
itate to say that the men who were be-
ing paid to keep the streets clean were
not doing their duty and ought to be re-
moved. This woman was Mrs. A. E.
Paul. For three years she has urged,
implored and demanded reform, but all
that time she has been an outsider.
Now she is in position to attain her
object, for Mayor Harrison has appoint
ed her superintendent of street cleaning
in the down town districts. She has
full authority to have the work done
properly, anG there is no doubt but that
it will be done as it should be.
There is not a little sentiment con-
nected with Mrs. Paul's devotion to
this somewhat unfeminine task. She is
widow, and up to three years ago her
loneliness was lessened by the presence
of a bright little child. But one day
