THE Y. NJ. c. A. FUND.
Full Amount Must He Raised by Next
Monday.


Thirty dollars were added yesterday TO
the Y NJ c. A. fund. and the total amount
now subscribed is sl,11s.50. The time Is
short now, as the subscription must be
completed on Monday in order that the
s., 500 may reach the home office or the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company in
Philadelphia by the date of the expiration
of the note, May Is.
IT is evident that a number of those In
terested in the association are holding
back their subscriptions. hoping that the
amount will be raised without their CIV
ing, but unless they come in with their
subscriptions within a short time they
will find that through their delay the fund
has failed and the Y. NJ. G. AS work
must stop. 1t is unfortunate that the de-
mand for this sum comes at a time when
money is so scarce and every one feeis
poor But the Y. NJ c. A. cannot choose
the times when It's debts are to come due:
the obligation was incurred in good faith.
and when the most conservative business
men of the city said IL would be safe to
borrow the sum required to complete the
building Now that the mortgage Is due
the association and its friends should be
thankful for the opportunity to renew on
such terms as the payment of $500 in
stead of having to pay the whole amount
OF the mortgage at this time, which is
the course upon which many of the mort
gage companies are now insisting when
their loans mature. 1t will take the full
sum of $3.50 to secure renewal of the
$es oGo loan. but If the sum is raised and
the renewal secured the interest on the
balance will be reduced from per cent.
per annum TO 6 per cent. making a re-
ductfon to the association of nearly $40
per month in the running expenses
Altogether the Y. NJ. c. A. is today in
better condition for active and aggressive
work than ever before in its history as
Is indicated by the large membership. the
loyalty of those connected with IL and the
enthusiasm and zeal of its services, and
IL is 20 be hoped that there will be no
break in its prosperity.

The fact that there was such an fmme-

was without question, very strong
factor in bringing about the settlement of
the matter.
As soon as the arrangement was per-

chicago's New STOCK Company.

At the Schiller theatre in this city
" Fort Frayne," an American play,
dramatized from a successful American
novel by two American playwrights,
was presented for the first time Mon
day night and won from the local dra-
matte critics unanimous verdict OF
approval.
For many reasons this event in the
local theatrical world is noteworthy
1t is especially pleasing because it in
PRODUCES to Chicago new permanent
stock company which for general ex-
cellence compares tavorably with the
best organizations of that kind in this
country. Such company will dc
much to make Chicago producing
center. 1t will also open to native
dramatists a new market for their
wares and will guarantee an adequate
production of any play that is staged by
it.
Many who have been watching this
Schiller experiment have predicted
that it's success will be the signal for a
return to the high class stock regime
of former days. Whether it shall have
this effect or not, there can be no doubt
that it is destined to exert powerful
influence upon theatricals in Chicago
and throughout the west. The &C
QUESTION of such an organization as a
permanent institution here furnishes
good ground for congratulation. That
it has begun its career so successfully
augurs we'll for it's future. Chicago
