The Opening.

With that same avidity that the
small boy looks to the advent of Christ
mas. so do the ladies look for the an
nhal "opening day" of Mdme. Boyle's
millinery department. The invitation
in THE TINES fixed the days of Mon
day and Tuesday Of this week for that
event. and 1t is fair TO assert that but
few Of the fair sex of the city missed
the opportunity. The dainty little
store presented the appearance of n
fairy bower. A solid bed of roses, vio-
let's, daisies, orange blossoms. bridal
wreaths. dah!ias, etc, occupied the
west side Of the store, riyaling nature
in colors. The east side was resplep.
dent with ribbons rivaling the colors
Of the rainbow; laces, trimmings and
many other articles the utility OF which
was unknown to the reporter. A large
case I'm the center of the store was the
object of attention. 1t contained mar.
wells of the milliners art. Snch a
pretty display of goods has not been
seen in Forrest City in years. and the
assiduous attention of Mdme. Boyle and
her charming assistant. Miss Mamie

Municipal Election.

The election for town officers to
serve the city for the ensuing year
took place Tuesday and passed oil
quietly. No special issue was being
waged. The only apparent object OF
the voters was to elect men of their
particular choice, without prejudice to
any one
With regard to the mayoralty, the
unwritten law of 1.-TWO terms' was vio-
lated to small extent, and j. H.TIpton
prevailed over the present incumbent,
j. NJ. Brown.
The contention for the marshalship
resulted in the present incumbent, o.
p. Wolff, capturing the plum AS a
ird-termer over j. q. Boyle.

executive the city has had for many

may be justly proud. Mayor Upton
enjoys the respect and confidence OF
his fellow men, and in his election we
venture to assert that his supporters
will never find cause to regret the cast

A VAUDEVILLE UNION.
Scale of Wages and Rule Against
PauPer Foreign Artists.

New YORK journal.
A new era is about to dawn for vaudeville
artists The Central Labor Union on Sun
day decided to take all performers, male,
female and female impersonatorS under its
union,. to be known as David Garrick
Council, No. 60, is now under way. Messrs.
Farley, Pallas, Warner, Daily and Kelly. of
the Central Labor Union, being the COM
mittee appointed for that purpose The an
nouncement of this great work occasioned
intense excitement along Fourteenth street
tig & Seamon William Armstrong and
Tony Smith. Great throngs of anxious
black-face comedians, hoster singers,
trapeZe performers and SeriO-comicS gath
cred at every street corner from Third ave-
nue., west to Broadway, and thence in a
northerly direction to the portals of the
situation. Very few vaudeville artists knew
positively what arrangements had been
made with the labor union, and many alb
surd rumors gained circulation in conse-
quence.
One thing is said to be fully decided upon,
however namely, that steam whistles are
to be placed the roofs of Tony Pastor S,
Keith's, ProctOrs, Weber & Fields'S and
Hurtig & Seamon's vaudeville houses. and
will summon the artists and artistes t, to
compelled to carry their dinners and make
up in tin pals, and the performers will
be classified and divided into gangs, each
given, and costumes will be purchased from
company stores to be established along
East FOurteentn street. "A scale OF prices
will be arranged, but the schedule has only
been partly completed thus far, as follows:
Irish comedians with green whiSkerS, 3712
cents an hour. Traiaed seals and toe dane
ers, $1.25 per day. Musical teams playing
THE Miserere" on sleigh bells, 20 cents an
hour. Society sketches (prison-made dress
suits barred. 81 40 per day.
Several important bylaws have already
been decided upon. Stage rubes' will be
compelled to wear union-made overalls, and
walking delegates must be chosen from
among performers who have Travelled to the
Pacific coast and back. Female baritones
will not be allowed to draw mems wages
on account of their voices, and Dutch COM
edians must have the words Made in Ger
many stamped on their dialect. Managers
desiring songs regarding mother and the
dear home ties must first obtain card from
Mrs. Z. L. Fernandez. Eight hours will
constitute q days work for all members.
"A co-defensve and co-offensive organiZa-
ton of this character has long been need
ed" said a vaudevillan yesterday. I'VE
have long suffered from competition, prin-
cipa1ly from the pauper vaudeville labor of
Europe. The time was when my partner
and l could get 62 cents an hour in any
first-class house in the country, and all /
had to do was to plant a Ratchet in my
partners brow twice during the turn. Then
a French team came over and not only
worked for 5S cents an hour, but would kick
each other in the stomach eight times light
matches on one anOther's cheeks twice and
fall into the orchestra once. The result is
that / have been glad to get 37l2 cents an
hour for the past two years, and it's time
something was done.

STEAMSHIPS.

meter is an experiment here though it is
used quite extensively in other cities. The
particular advantage is the hold 1t gives
the gas company on transients, who FREE
Guently change their residences without go
ing to the trouble of paying their gas bills.
With pay-as-you-Want the-gas meter that

is very stable, and there is hardly the need
of such meters here that there might be in
The machine consists of simple attach
ment 10 an ordinary gas meter. The only
ainerence apparent to the eye IS the addi-
ton of small, clock-shaped attachment at
the left-hand side of the meter, where the
feed pipe comes in, into which the coin Is
dropped; and a small red hand, moving hor~
izontaly over the other dials of the meter.
and registering on a horizontal scale di-
rectly under it, the figures on which run
irto the slot the feed pipe is opened just as
the beam is released in an automatic
weighing machine, while by the dropping
of the coin the horizontal hand is pushed
along until it rests at 2b. this being the
number of hundred feet sold for quarter.
As the gas runs through ii registers on the
pushes the horizontal hand back toward
the zero mark, sc that this hand always in
dicateS the amount OF gas paid for and not
used. When the hand reaches the zero
mark the gas is automatically cut off, and
an offering of another quarter is necessary
to have the illumination COZ tnued If four
quarters are dropped In, one after another,
the hand Is pushed up to 10, indicating that
1000 feet have been paid for, and the same is
relatively true of two or three quarters.
From this description ii will be seen that
the gas is supplied in this way at exactly
the same price as when a regular meter is
put in and the gas Is furnished by the
n onth. 1t might be thought that these ma
cEines would frequently be tempered with.
but as a matter of fact the danger is not
so great as with a slot machine OF some
ether type, because the machine is never
put in in a common place like cellar or
hallway, but In the room or tenement OF
each separate family, so that the occus
pants are definitely responsible for what
happens to it. The machines have been in
use for some time now. and so far as is
known there has never been a case of one

substitution of some other object for a
