THE FUNCTION Oh THE THEArER.

William Archer Is the latest critic to
lament the attitude Of the cultivated
mind towards the theater. He ex-
presses again the regret that the intel
lectual man who goes TO the theater for
an evenings enjoyment Is very much
more likely to select a burlesque or a
comic opera than serious play. Grant
Aliens Investigations over the drama,
some years ago. led him 10 the same
conclusion. and he was discouraged to
find that the oxford professor who
came TO town and went 10 the play was
usually more likely 10 select the Gaiety
than the Lyceum as his goal. This Idea
OF the function OF the theater Is quite as
firmly rooted here as Il is In England,
because II seems impossible for Anglo
Saxon minds to regard the institution
as possessed Of any other purpose than
TO amuse. Discussion Of plays with
persons thoughtful and learned In other
particulars leads usually 70 utter con-
fusion when enlightened or dlscrlminat-
ing opinion Is expected. What are re-
garded as It's banal and discouraging
features by those who Halter themselves

Ten years ago there were nine large
circuses and menageries on the road In
this country, all high-priced ones. To-
day there are but two. namely, Fore
paugh- Sells and the Ringing Brothers.
Nine years ago there were nine large
minstrel shows ON the road playing TO
high prices. Today there are but two,
Primrose & Dockstader having trans
ferred their minstrel company from
opera houses 70 a tent, IN which they
are now touring the southern country.
Judging from adverse criticism along
the line by the press. the transition has
not been a pleasant one for the minstrel
managers. nor has IT been acceptable to
the public. One paDer devotes half a
column TO the fake features introduced,
the highway robbery practiced In the

! O1er OF an increase of 10 per cent in
miners wages was today made by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company, and this move IL is stat
ed, Will be followed on Tuesday by ST.
milar notices at every colliery in the
anthracite region. 1t is expected by the
operators that this increase in wages
| VIII he satisfactory to the men, and
they believe many strikers will take
advantage of the offer ard return to
work. Mining operations will, in this
event. be given an impetus, and the
operators expect there will then be a
gradual resumption until the collieries
will again have their full complement
Of employees.
HAZLETON, Pa, Oct. president
/ Mitchell at noon today said:
The strike is practically complete,
and there will be no resumption of
work without there first being a con-
vention representing every colliery in
| the anthracite field. The prediction
lmade yesterday that no attention would
be paid to the notices posted by the
Reading company conceding a 10 per
cent advance has proved true.
"Our reports from the Panther Creek
valley indicate that this heretofore i'm
pre- enable portion of the anthracite re-
glOn has declared it's intention of sus-
pending operations at once

members, l shall go to Wilkesbarre to-

cording to the official report of General
Superintendent r. c. Luther to Presi-

of the offer of an advance In wages Of
10 per cent, the company is working
five less mines today than on Satur-
day. The five collieries that failed to
open this morning are: Copps, Eagle
Hill, Vaudeville, Silver Creek and

porter did not turn his heed. he at
