EngIish's-'The Telephone Girl"
1.-The Telephone Girl company managed
to secure its scenery yesterday, but the
stage settings did not reach Englsh's until
nearly time for the curtain to rise on the
matinee, and the special performance was
an hour late. A fair-szed audience waited
patiently. but it was in no mood to enjoy
the show. While the performance was
taken well it did not create sensation.
Last night at Englishs the theater was sold
out and the big audience quickly warmed
up to the performance and THE Telephone
Girl made hit. There was a little hest
fancy in accepting the novel situations of
the play in the first act, but there was no
lack of applause for the good things in the
shape of comedy bits and songs. The gen.
eral ensemble of the Casino girls their
fetching costumes and their gayety, scored
another success for this New York organiza-
ton. The Casino girls have established a
reputation for chic good looks and good
voices, and have set the pace for all other
extravaganzas.
The prettiest and happiest and wisest of
all the Casino girls is Clara Lipman, who
played the French telephone girl with all
the Gallo charm of a gay creature of gay
est Paree. From the tip of her toes to the
fluffy roll of black hair above her forehead,
Clara Lipman was picture of glee. Moth
ing to compare with her counterfeit of the
Frenchiest art has been exhibited here.
Miss Lipman fairly divided honors with the

WHITNEY'S INFLUENCE.

World and Richard Croker to a Close

Brings the Quarrel of the New York
World and Richard Croker to a Close
Chicago, Nov. 7.-One of the curious
features of the campaign is the atti-
tude of the New York World. Until
recently it was a most violent opponent
of Tammany and Mr.. Croker personally,
and claimed all the credit for exposing
that gentleman's corruption and po-
litical vices. It even took the credit
of driving him to Europe. For years
there was scarcely an issue of the World
without an attack, dOuble-leaded or in
display type, upon the Tammany chief
tain. Suddenly the assaults ceased and
the World became, and continues to be,
the organ of the great Tammany boss.
purposes, and its editor seems to have
discovered that Mr.. Croker is an angel
in disguise.
This new formed intimacy is the talk
of the clubs, and William c. Whitney
is credited with having brought it
about. He and Croker have always
been intimate. They have been partners
in several public enterprises of profit
and Importance, and when Mr.. Whitney
has wanted anything in the way of leg
islatiOn he has always used Mr.. Croker
as his agent and paymaster. At the
same time Mr.. w hitneS and Mr.. Pulitzer
have been friends, and the former has
been able to control the columns of the
World at any time. One of the former
editors of the World has been his priv
ate secretary for years; nobody has had
with Mr.. Croker, and it would be per-
fectly natural for Mr.. Whitney, if pos
Sible, to reconcile any differences be-
tween his friends.

a reduction in wages. They have been
making from so cents to s1.25 a day
They do not want to work for so cents
a day. Even the reduced scale repre-
sents wages higher than usually paid
to factory girls in any employment
The owners Of the factory are inclined
to be somewhat impatient at the strike
They say the girls have been paid
wa ges double those given at other match
factories. Mr. Gould and his associates
are also fretful because the girls seem
to have forgotten a unique philanthropy
bestowed by Mr.. Gould upon his en-
ployes last year. Work in a match fac
tory is somewhat hazardous to the
health on account of the liability to
phosphorus poisoning. Phosphorus is
particularly harmful to teeth that are
unsound- Mr.. Gould announced through
his superintendent last year, for the
protection OF the health Of his employees,
that they would all be required to have
their teeth put in sound condition. There

AGUINALDO A FACTOR.
Making His Position Felt in the Phil
ippine Matter.

New York, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Major Simpson of General Merritts staff
has just returned from Manila, and though
personally he does not seem to fear seri-
Gus trouble with the forces of Aguinaldo,
he says there is a distinct sentiment
among the United States troops that there
may be more trouble and that more troops
may be needed. Aguinald0's force IS
recl1oned a about 10000 and Major Simp-
son freely admits that the rebels are IN
control of the island of Luzon.
The recent attack on Iloilo by the forces
of AguinaIdo recalled to Major Simpson
the fact that Aguinaldo had some trans
ports and that about 500 of the LuzOn
troops had been carried to the island of
Panay. On the island of Mindanao the
situation is not understood, IS the inhabi-
tants are mostly Mohammedans. Little
or no investigation of the situation there
has been made by our army. Back in
the hills of LuzOn many tribes are almost
unciVilized and have never felt the force
of either the insurgents or Spaniards-
To complicate the situation the priests
are now Intriguing to make the rebels dis
contented with Aguinaldo and to set. up
another insurgent chief. Should all the
islands pass to the United States the
situation might be one of surprises. The
fact that Aguinaldo's troops attacked Ilo-
lilo, according TO Major Simpson, shows
that Aguinaldo has not acquiesced in the
decision involved in the fall of Manila.

A SERIOTS ACCIDENT.
Miss Edna McClintock Thrown From
a Buggy and Badly Hurt

Miss Edna McCHntock, one Of To-
peka's best known society young ladies,
was seriously injured about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon by being thrown
from a buggy at the corner of Eighth
and Harrison streets. Both bones of her
left leg were fractured about three
inches above the ankle, and a severe
nervous shock sustained.
Miss AcClintock was riding with Mr..
Fred McGiff1n. The buggy was one of
the small three-quarter type, and the
horse a young animal owned by Mr..
McGifin. The harness used was one
of the skeleton make without a breech-
ing, and this fact was in a manner re-
sponsible for the accident.
In turning the corner at Ninth and
Harrison streets the horse slipped on
the pavement and fell, breaking the
girth of the harness. AS the animal
recovered its feet the shafts flew up
over its back and the buggy, uncon-
trolled by a breeding, rolled directly
upon it. This frightened the horse and
it started on mad run north on Har-
rison street.
Mr.. McGiffin attempted to stop the
horse by throwing all his strength on
the lines, but this only served to push
the buggy on the animal. In an en-
deaVOr to get the horse off the pave
ment he pulled toward the state house
grounds, but as the buggy struck the
curbing at the edge of the pavement
he was thrown backward from the seat.
he says he attempted to pull Miss Nc
ClintOck out with him as he fell and did
succeed IN pulling her from the left to
the right side of the seat, but no far
Their. Wholly free from control the ami
NAL started toward the high school
building at the northwest corner of
Eighth and Harrison streets with Miss
McClintock clinging desperately to the
seat.
The moments that elapsed from the
time Mr.. McGiffin was thrown from the
buggy. up to the time she was herself
thrown to the ground in front of the
high school building were moments of
terrible suspense to Miss McClintOck
The horse made straight for the high
school grounds and the wheels of the
buggy came in contact with the stone
curbing with crushing force 1t was
then that Miss McClintock was thrown
straight over the front wheel and onto
the ground of the high school park AS
she fell her left leg doubled under her
and both bones gave way.
Miss McClintOck was not rendered IN
conscious by the fall, and was at once
picked up by people passing in a surrey
and taken to her home on West Tenth
street. There DR.. Mcclure and DR..
Mum attended her and dressed the
fracture. She suffered considerably yes
terday afternoon and last night from
the nervous shock caused by the acct
dent, but this morning was reported to
be in a comfortable condition
It will take several weeks for the
bones to unite, and Miss McClintock will
be confined to her room for some time
The horse tore loose from the buggy
after Miss McClintOck was thrown ont
and ran directly to Mr.. McGiffin's barn.
