new EMPIRE THEATRE.

Miss Katherine Rober and her excel
lent company gave a very pleasing
performance OF Romeo and Juliet, at
the Empire Theatre last evening and
the impression made upon the large
audience was a most pleasing one. To
those who had known Miss Rober only
as a comedienne her work as Shakes
peare's immortal heroine came as
most genuine surprise, for her treat
ment of the by no means facile role
was both intelligent and sympathetic.
There was a most pleasing lack of any
tendency towards exaggeration. her
reading OF the lines showed careful
study. and in the famous potion scene
Miss Rober achieved something that
closely approached the higher walks OF
dramatic art.
The Romeo of Leon Louis Hall is
certainly the best thing this popular
young actor has done. lie was quiet in
bearing, and yet in the more emotion
al scenes betrayed an intensity OF pas
sion which denoted an Intelligent con-
ception OF the part. Hal. Clarendon as
Mercutio was full OF dash. and while
a little too noisy. perhaps. made a good
impression. Leonard Rowe was q par
ticularly fiery Tybalt. but did not over
step the bounds. and. in fact. seemed 20

plause. while the balance OF the cast
was in good hands.
The piece was staged with a great
deal OF attention to detail and the cos
tuning was particularly elaborats. In
a word. the performance was one that
could not fail 10 please even those who
might be prone 10 judge by higher
standards.

the BRlAR-RooT PIrE.

How many smokers know what their
briar-root pipes are really made of?
asks the London Daily News. In one
OF those. valuable repertories of fact,
the consular reports, we find some in
formation on the subject which will,
no doubt, be read with interest. Our
vice consul> at Leghorn, Mr.. Carmich-
ael, writes: The wood from which
briar pipes are made is not the root OF
the briar rose. but the root of the large
heath known in botany as the erica
arborea. Our 'briar' Is but corrup-
tion OF the French bruyere.' The
briar-root industry has had a somewhat
curious history. First begun in the
Pyrenees some 80 years ago, IL travelled
along the French Riviera and the liz
gurian coast (taking Corsica by the
way) 10 the Tuscan Maremma, and has
now reached calabria in the south.
which Is at present its most nourishing
centre. Leghorn has always been the
centre OF the export OF Tuscan briar-
root since the Maremma industry came
into existence, but as the South Italian
briar Is OF admittedly superior quality.
large quantity OF the Calabrian root
is also imported into Leghorn for selec-
tion and subsequent export"
How the briar-root pipe is made Is
also explained by Vice Consul Carmi-
cndcl. WHO says all the root tndt comes
into Leghorn has already been cut into
the shape I'm which IL is exported 10 the
pipe manufacturing centres. which are
principally. at least as regards Italian
briar. st. claude I'm France. Nurem-
berg I'm Bavaria. and various towns in
Rhenish Prussia and Thuringia. The
roots which are sometimes OF n cir
cumference OF two feet or more. are cut
into blocks and then boiled. VI there Is
any defect i'm the root which has not
been discovered before the boiling pro-
cess. the blocks are bound TO split
sooner or later. Briar-root blocks are
cut into about o5 different sizes and
three principal shapes. The shapes are
"Marseillaise "Releve', and BEL

shapes. From the 'Narselllpise"

Day.
Topic Discussed at Meeting In
MusIc Hall Under Auspices
Of Painters Union.

A meeting was held in Music Hall
last evening. under the auspices OF the
local Painters Union, for the purpose
OF discussing the eight-hour movement.
The attendance was not very large.
Charles J. s. Wilson of the Machinists
Union of Providence was the hyst
speaker, and he said that he was one
OF the strikes at the Mossberg e. Gran
VILE company and urged that whenever
a strike was inaugurated the strikers
should secure their tools and go and
seek work else where.
He then began to talk about politics
from the Socialist Labor standpoint,
and said that the Socialist PLATFORM
provides that eight hours shall consti-
tute a days work. that women shall
aave the same pay as men for the same
work. AT this point one man on the
floor interrupted the speaker by rising
and saying that the meeting was not
called for the purpose Of discussing the
Socialist-Labor party.
Mark Muivey OF Boston, a member OF
the Building Trades Council was next
introduced, and he said that the eight
hour day was the natural division and
he believed that in the near future
Providence would be I'm line with Bos-
worker should be affiliated with trades
unions. because II is only by organized
effort that the condition OF the workers
can be improved Next TO his religion
the laborer should belong to a trades
union and seek TO benefit his fellow
men.
Fred j. kneeland of Boston followed
and explained the circumstances that
led TO the granting of the eight-hour
day i'm Boston 20 the painters and de-
corators and said that the men who
took the places OF the strikers were
discharged as soon as the strike was
declared on. The men employed by the
municipality OF Boston worked only
eight hours a day. Providence. he said.
was simply country village. The peo-
pie have not yet woke up to the fact
that there Is an eight-hour movement
general throughout the country.
He concluded by saying that the ma
tional organization has 5000 nembers,
who Will contribute towards the sup
port OF the painters Of Pro, eience so
that they will get their weekly wages
during the strike, whether II be for
one week or 10 years.
After remarks by Thomas j. Caf5a-
CHER of Boston and others on the same
line OF argument. the meeting was de-
clared adjourned.

The women made a hysterical scram-
BILE for places of refuge. Some crowd
ed into closets; others hid their heads
under some hanging wraps. ostrichlike,
imagining they were concealed. Twelve
OF them fell TO the floor apparently In

Not a woman in the crowd could
be called young. The majority of them
had gray hair. Not one had anything
that looked like a recently purchased
gown, bonnet or wrap. They were de-
cidedly rusty. Hard lines on most OF
the faces bore testimony to many at

Inspector Thompson said he had

The raid was made so quickly, how

Inspector Thompson was much graft

the raid and said: I'VE have evidence

this case our evidence is conclusive"

der which this state ofanairs was brought
about are no less curious than distressing.
a short time since man arrived on
the island from fTaugesund. on the main
land. with his wife and family. to partici-
pate IN the spring egg gathering. While
testing his ropes on a cliff. preparatory
to commencing his search. he happened
to make a false step forward over the
cliff. lie was instantly killed. AS there
had not been a death on the island since
eleven years before. when a boy was kill
ed by boulder from the same clin fall
ms on him. the occurrence naturally cast
a gloom over the small community estab-
lished there. This consisted OF some thir-
" fishermen with their families. AS a
mark Of sympathy and respect all the
men determined to attend the funeral OF
the unfortunate. which was to take place
al the cemetery at Haugesund on the
mainland. But during the proceedings at
the burial ground a tremendous gale
arose. When the men returned to their
smack the storm was at Its height.
After carefully considering the situa-
ton the thirty fishermen determined to
sail for Aarlud. and having taken advan-
taEe OF the opportunity to replenish their
household supplies tho boat was rather
heavily laden. Their progress through the

the peop'- on the mainland, who. when
the boat had gone the distance of about
mile and a half from the coast, saw
that the vessel was In great distress. Ell
forts were at once made to go to Its as
