STATE FEDERATION
 ORGANIZED LABOR
Birmingham Council Takes Ini- tiative and Appoints Committed
ALLOTMENT OF DELEGATES
Meeting Called for August 3l and 1t Will be Held in Birmingham-Com- mittees Addressto Labor Or
 ganizations in Alabama

Organized labor representatives will meet in Birmingham on August 31 for the pur- pose of forming state federation.
 Sometime since the Birmingham Trades Council appointed a committee to take up this question and to arrange for holding convention or conference in this city. This committee has issued the following ad dress:
 By resolution the committee appointed by the Trades Council of Birmingham, hereby calls for a convention of United Labor organizations of the state of Ala bama, to meet at Birmingham on the 31st day~pf August, 1900. for the purpose of forming State Federation of Labor. Tn the light of the experience of the past few years, no argument need be offer ed to supplement the invitation to union labor throughout the state to participate in the counsel of such convention. Every step made toward unifcation and sodify- ing the ranks of labor has, so to speak, been weighed in the balance and not found wanting. Each combination of labor makes new bonds, creates new interest conduces to better organization conducts Its work with less friction; a harmonious blending of a whole that can when called on act as one man.
 Alabama labor has much to be proud of in it's progress and triumphs. But still in tnls one particular has Jagged behind. It has hitherto failed to follow the lead of sister States in strengtnening the. National Federation by supplementary State combi- nation of labor union.
 The committee representing the Trades Council of Birmingham hopes, with the CO., operation of the unions throughout the State, to remedy this omission, to place in the chain the one missing link whose ab- sence prevents perfected organization. "The committee recommend the following allotment of delegates:
 That each central body be entitled to five delegates; each union be entitled to one delegate for every hundred members, or majority thereof in good standing. Unions of less membership than 100 entitled to one delegate.
 Credentials of deleates must bear seal of the union and be signed by the proper officers.
 All officers of labor organizations learn ing of this call are earnestly requested to call special meetings and take the neces- sary action to secure representation in the convention.

opANGE REPUBLICANS.

The two gentlemen whom the repub-
licans of Orange have nominated for
representatives Walter A. Main, the
real estate dealer of West Haven, and
Robert j. Woodruff of Orange. Mr..
Main, the elder of the nominees, is so
well known that he has the confidence
of business men in his vicinity and
elsewhere. Possibly Mr., Woodruff, the
younger of the nominees, is not so well
known, although having held the posi-
ton of tax collector he has had an OPP
portunity to become acquainted with
some of the Orange voters that he
might not have met otherwise. A son
of S. D. Woodruff, the prosperous seed
grower of Orange, and a lawyer by pro-
fession, he has received an education
that has ably fitted him for speaking in
public. Both the nominees are long
time residents of the town.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

Tonight at the Hyperion new
Theodore" will make her initial bow
in this city, in the person of Mrs. Clar-
ence M. Bruno, who has scored in this
play a personal triumph, which eclipses
in its way the sensational hit made by
the production. She will have asso-
ciated with her Mr.. Bruno and Mel
| bourne Mcdowell as co-stars, as well
as an organization of $50 people. While
| a part of this company Is made up of
supernumeraries nearly half of it's
! strength is composed of actors of repu-
| tation and merit. Interest in the en-
gagement is somewhat centered about
Mrs. Bruno, from the fact that she has,
4 in so short time, established herself
among the foremost legitimate actresses
of the world Her work is not only fav-
orably compared with artists in this
country, but the critics have gone
abroad for comparison. Theodore, the
greatest conception of the worlds most
famous living playwright, is acknowl-
edged to be the most intricate and diff
flcult of modern roles, and Mrs. Bruno
is accredited with possessing all the
requisite qualities for the part and is
said to be the most versatile actress of
this decade. AS Theodore, she depicts
with consummate skill every emotion
run in the gamut Of life. The dance,
which terminates the first act, after
abandoning the imperial robe for the
garb she is used to, is so perfectly done
that it has proven a revelation to the
critics. Theodore remains but for two
nights. Seats now on sale. Prices $3.50,
81, 75c, soc, 35c and 25c.
The handsome costumes which will
be worn by the Filipino girls and Welsh
peasants in "Flodora," the English Mu-
steal comedy, which comes to the Hy
perion theater on November 8 and 10
were made from designs drawn by AL |
fred Comelli of London, who was sent |
to the Philippine islands by Mr. Davis !
manager of the Lyric theater, London, /
for the express purpose of obtaining |
correct ideas as to the natives cos
tunes. At Bombay and Calcutta the |
draped costumes Of the East Indians |
were irreslstibly attractive to the artis- !
tic sense of beauty, and thus the cos
tunes in "Florodora" are a combination
of the graceful fashions of India and
the Philippines. The Welsh costumes
are OSCILLATIONS of those worn by the
in Wales. Seats on sale
