POPULARITY OF KEITKS VAUDEVILLE
AS EDWIN MILTON RoYlE SEES 1T.

Speaking OF the development and
popularity OF Keith vaudeville. Mr..
Edwin Milton Royle, who is at Keith's
this week, said: you can secure a
good engagement in vaudeville by
means OF big name, but IL will not
suffice TO keep you there. Your work
must do the rest" He says. further,
that the tone of vaudeville perform
ances is continually improving. better

"a success he is Immediately recognized
as such, and can get all the time" he
can possibly fill.
An interesting fact is that an act of
great refinement rarely wins great ap-
plause, but IL Will draw more patron
age, and will remain at the theatre
longer than an act which makes the
people roar. This certainly shows a
substantial taste for the good among
vaudeville audiences. Some vaudeville
performers are AT loss TO understand
this fact, and some managers are un-
able to explain IT,
Mr.. Royle attributes the great sue
cess OF vaudeville i'm this country TO the
fickleness Of the American public-that
Is to say we are constantly wishing
for something new in the amusement
line, and vaudeville entertainment
affords more opportunity for constant

STRIKE in BUILDING
TRADES NOT UNLIKELY
The Action of Master Builders Not
Satisfactory to Men--Old Rates
Restored at LOnSdale.

A strike in the building trades may
occur here as the result OF the action OF
the master builders association, which
was announced In the News last even
ing. At recent meetings OF the masters
the situation was complicated by the
fact that the demands of the trades
Were not all alike. The carpenters made
a demand for eight hours and a min
imum wage OF $3.50 day; the painters
demanded eight hours and the same
wage; the plasterers wanted $3.50 a day
and the brfcklayers and masons asked
for SO cents an hour and nine-hour
day. The masons have had an eight
hour day for about 10 years.
The members OF the association dis
cussed the situation and then took the
vote in the opinion of the master build
ers OF Providence, the existing condi-
tions do not warrant reduction OF the
hours of labor here. The association de-
clined 10 consider the reduction of the
present working day o eight hours.

given for the refusal OF the demands OF
the trades was IL would reduce the

batch OF wounded soldiers had been
sent home that Mary heard anything
of her aid admirer.
Then one evening Giles Storey came
10 see her in a state OF ill-concealed
elation and remarked casually to her
mother that there wouldn't be so many
of the girls after Smith as there used
TO be. And he gave look at Mary,
who went on with the making OF the
tea and made no sign.
II was two or three days after this
that Mary was walking in High street
when she came upon sight that made
her heart jump.
IL was the wreck of trooper Smith.
He had lost an arm, and down on one
side of .he handsome face there was q
long scar. IL took Mary a moment To
get breath, and Smith. more modest
than in the Did days. would have passed

sion and put out her hand. 1t sent a

and ASSailed Priests and Nuns
of the Catholic Church.

Rev Mr.. Rannie, a young French

He was frequently interrupted by the
young element which had come from
Natick, Jericho and other villages. and
number OF stones were thrown
through the open door of the hall. Con-
stable Hyacinth Provost. who was alone

he was Immediately assalled by the
mob. rotten eggs and stones being free

Some OF the more violent OF his as

before the bridge was reached Mr.
Rannie was bleeding and bruised. while
some OF his small escort had also suf-
fered. Finally the lecturer took refuge
on the veranda OF Edward Pixies resi-
dence. and the crowd withdrew. Later
