theater received a telegram late last
evening announcing that the special

a great amount of phernalia which
it will take almost day to get in place.

INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD
Non-Sectarian Organization to Be

A non-sectarian organization, called

has been organized by Mrs. Katherine

ed all over the country, and its work is
now being done in over one hundred
cities throughout the United States.
A NEE ting will be held and addresses
made in furtherance Of the first object
at Blavatsky hall, 525 West Fifth street,
next Tuesday evening. The first object
is to help workingmen to realize the
nobility of their calling and their true
position in life" Life today is far from
satisfactory, even under the most favor
able circumstances. The system of
competition which obtains today has
developed enormous oppression on the
rich and poor alike. Man, who Is greater
than all systems. is in danger of being
swallowed up by his own creation. Those
who love humanity more than them
selves are scattered To bring them in
touch, one with another, the Interna-
tional Brotherhood league was formed.
The league has been organized only five
months, yet has branches in nearly
every part Of the globe and includes in
its membership many philanthropists

I believe" said Mr.. Allaire, that where
as now canaigre yields about per cent
Of tannin In the green state, 1t can be de-
veOped so as to yield IL per cent or
more; and that whereas now we get
about eight tons to the acre, with an
equal expense We may easily get fifteen
tons to the acre. That Is, 1 believe the
plant may be improved by careful cul-
tivation to that extent just as the sugar
beet has been improved"
The Deming factory was put up as an
experimental plant. 1t was the inten-
tion of the founders to run it through the
experimental stage and then build
larger factories as they might be need
ed in localities where the canaigre could
be grown with profit. The financial de-
preston of the past few years has pre-
vented, thus far, any further work
from being done in that direction, but
recently new men are taking hold of the
work, and If they conclude to go ahead
Southern California will be their field
of operation; but they will not pur-
chase high-priced orange lands for that
purpose.
Mr.. Allaire seems to have the conf
dence and financial support Of those who
best know him, and his efforts to de-
velop the canaigre industry are Endorsed
by the Santa Fe officials, who take
deep interest in developing the country
through which their road runs.
This statement of the canaigre busi
ness by Mr.. Allaire is probably the most
complete, accurate and reliabl one ever
put before the public, and will settle
c,Nr nf O n
garding the industry that have recent
ly appeared In the public prints. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Allaire will succeed in
establishing the canaigre industry on a
large scale, in Southern California. thus
adding another element to our already
large list of profitable productions.
