Object to Housework

w. R. Patrick was called to Fort
Crook, Neb., last week, to obtain, If
possible, by legal process the release of
five enlisted men who had been SEN
fenced to thirty days in the guard house
for mutiny. According to the story told
by the soldiers who came up and en-
gagged the services Of the attorney, the
privates were detailed a few days ago
to proceed to the house of the company
commander and clean it from top to bot
tom. The work was performed under
protest and when completed the men
requested the privilege of laying their
alleged grievances before the command
ing officer of the post. This request, it
is claimed, was refused by the COM
pany commander, who sent all the men
to the guard house. They were tried by
the post court and sentenced to thirty
days in the guard house and to forfeit
$40 pay. Their names are Byron S.
Browne, James s. Browne, John Larue,
Joseph Rich and Henry Weber, all of
company D, Twenty-secondi infantry.
Friends of the imprisoned men have
retained the attorney for the purpose of
having the question determined whether
enlisted men can be compelled to act as
servants Of officers. 1t is the intention of
the attorney to commence ha beas corpus
proceedings in the federal court in or
der to obtain the release of his clients.
The privates at Fort Crook are much
excited over the affair-Chicago Chron-

congressman Barlow Defended

The following letter has been received
by Mrs Nye from her brother, e. M.
Wardall, who is private secretary to
Congressman Barlow:
Dear Sister: Your letter. with clip
ping from the Messenger, Is received. 1t
is of course a gross Misrepresentation.
.Mr. Barlow is always ready to work and
vote for the interests of his constituents.
No Populist favors the Dingley bill as
whole. The bill reported by the
finance committee Of the senate Is a vast
improvement, and we believe will be,
when finished. greatly improved over its
present form. We expect to hold our
fruit schedule intact. We expect to do
this with Populist votes. It cannot be
done any other way, and whatever
protection western interests may secure
will be by the aid of Populist senators;
SO any fling at Populism just now is in
very bad taste as well as perversion
of the truth. Senator Jones Of Nevada
holds absolute balance of power in the
senate finance committee. He forced
report of one cent for citrus fruits as
against y cents in the Dingley bill Of
the house. I believe we can hold that
figure, but it must be done by force.
That is to say we must have. as farmers,

niste," which means theater for wom-
en-, by women and in the interests of
women only. There is only one weak
spot in this armor of femininity, and
that is the fact that the manager is to
be a man; but the ladies' who are the
soul OF the enterprise say he will not
count, as, like the rest of his SEX he will
merely be their slave.
AUX sarieux, though, it is to be gen.
uine place for women. The White thea
ter, where only plays of absolute purity
were to be tolerated, was the first en-
trance of woman into the managerial
capacity of the theater. This victory
gave such confidence to the women that
they We're determined to star their own
ideas exclusively, and the result is the
Theatre Feministe. The establishment
Is not to be limited. No pent up France
will confine its powers and the ladies Of
every country will be at liberty to air
their grievances, assert their privileges
and defend their interests through the
medium of the drama and the opera.
For long time the question of man
agement was discussed pro and con by
the members of the club, which had the
organization of the theater project in
hand. Opinion was divided, not as to
the ability of women to take entire
charge of every detail, but as to whether
it would not be wise to have some man
to do the drudgery and let honor and
glory be the lot of the women. Finally
it was decided that if man could be
found who would face the prospect. he
should be engaged on the spot. AS the
Frenchman i9 fond of excitement and
loves to brave adventure, the necessary
male was easily discovered and has al
ready become the Adam in this other
wise Adamless Eden.

shall receive instructions from the ex-
ecutive committee of the board of di-
rectors which is composed of five wom-

unparalleled feat of pleasing all five.
and is very popular. The circulars or
advance announcements of the theater
and its purposes do not bear the name of
the manager, but state that the theater
is under the sole control of the board Of
directors, composed entirely of women.
They further state that only plays treat
ing of womans rights will be pre- scented.

Another committee of the directors

| which means more in the way of advanc-
ing their general status than all the en-
Joyment of the franchise which could
possibly be secured. Nine. Loevy talk
ed freely to me the other day when l
questioned her regarding the enterprise,
| and l can safely say that here for the
| first time is the real purpose of the un-
| dertaking made public. Il am fully
aware" said Nine. Loevy, that in ad-
vocating such an enterprise as this the
ater, I am laying myself open to the ac-
cusation of being what believe you
Americans term crank Well, so be
it. My sex has been so determinedly
| set upon unless the most brilliant genius
was manifest that it is high time we did
| something to right this wrong
L do not wish to convey the idea that
we want women to vote in political mat
| ters, and to do things of that sort. No,
indeed. What we want is to share in the
glories of the drama and literature in
| different fashion than has previously
been our lot. The presence of woman
on the stage has as often brought her CAL
| umny as anything else. Why can we
| not have the same advantages as play
wrights as the men? Who can truth
fully say that a sex that has produced
some of the greatest and most glorious
minds in literature may not do as we'll.
at least, in the writing of plays? So we
are going to see what we can do. Per-
haps it will surprise you to say that we
have already under consideration
twenty dramas written by women, and
l am free to say that we find evidences
of great merit in all of them"
Il must not be understood that II is
to the drama alone that the program of
this woman's theater will be confined.
1t is the intention to produce comic op-
era as well. Marked changes will be
made in the manner of production, and
it iS the present intention to eliminate
all the Objectionable features which
have often made the comedy opera stage
stencil in the nostrils of decent human
| ity. There is to be no prudery exer-
cised. Skirts Will not be necessarily be-
low the ankles nor will tights be barred
| But there Will be none of the Barrison-
ian atmosphere about the place. A very
| strong effort will be made to force those
who wish popular favor to win it on the
basis of merit rather than by LAWS ii
| display of the gifts of nature.
| There will be no difference in the
charges of admission to this theater
than rule at any other of its size and
class. 1t will not be large playhouse,
but rather on the bijou order. IT is the
intention of the management that it
shall be thoroughly comfortable and no
accessory will be wanting to make this
plan fact. One or rather two rules
will be strictly enforced. The first is
that all women in attendance must re-

Fattening the Bloated Trust

Republican senators definitely committed
themselves to legislation in behalf of trusts
by voting solidly for the new sugar sched-
ule submitted by the finance committee.
The action of the Republicans gives the
trust the privilege of importing a years
supply of sugar at the present rates and of
selling that sugar under Il greatly in
creased protective tariff with a differential
in favor of the trust on refined sugar. 1t
gives the trust a monopoly with double
profits at the expense of the national
treasury for the first year-St. Louis Re-
public.

First Thing After PRAYER

"Open the doors of well-requitted toll to
the unemployed and bring the long-ex-
pected prosperity to every home" prayed
the chaplain of the senate Tuesday morn
ing. When the senate got down to work
after this inspiring prayer it finished the
consideration Of the sugar schedule of the
tariff bill, comforting on the sugar trust
the largest measure of favor ever granted
it by law. Never was there a more gro
tesque contrast between prayer and work
as this spectacle in the senate. While the
chaplain prayed for blessings on the people
the senate opened the peoples doors to q
band of robbers.-St. Louis Republic.

the authoress. or possibly the author,
must incorporate all suggestions Of the
board. The unkind men who have heard
of this project say that he who runs and
reads may attend one performance, but
that he who reads will run after seeing
a second announcement thereof.
Aside from the manager. the only con-
ditions under which men can hope to OBJ
tain little scrap of the success which
this theater, according to its projectors,
is sure to attain. is to write plays or mu-
sical compositions which will bear on
the subject of woman's rights. The au-
thors of these efforts may come from any
part of the world they wish to- and their
nationality will be considered no bar.
The ladies say that the men will be criti-
cised in that same spirit of fairness in
which a woman always considers her
own sex, and therefore they may be sure
Of absolute justice.
Nine. Loevy, who will direct the for
eign department of the new theater, is
very decided in her statements as to the
purpose and probable result of the enter
prise. Heretofore, she says, the fact
that play was written by woman has
been sufficient in most instances to en-
sure it's failure. The only instances
where this has not been the case have
occurred in the United States. Now
this sort of thing is to end. Women are
to have the precedence in at least one
theater, and the men will have to take
second place, if they are sufficiently for
tunate to secure any place at all.
Agents of this theater are to be ap-

show the women of all nations that their
