Mammoth Meeting Held in City of
Chicago.
A PLEA TO THE PRESIDENT
English Course in Africa Causeless Out
rage on Humanity.

A monster mass meeting was held
at Chicago last Sunday to protest
against English methods in dealing
with the Beers. Burke Cochran ad-
dressed an immense audience in the
Auditorium and letters were read
from Carl Shurz and other prominent
men. While this gathering OF
American citizens did not 90 to the
root of the outrages and denounce the
war as a whole, s'the South Afri-
can republics" are referred to, thus
ignoring England's claim to them as
colonies
The resolutions adopted are as
follows:
Resolved, That we as American citi-
zens believe that the wanton destruc-
ton of property of non-combatants by
English military authorities in South
Africa (without precedent in modern
times save by English officers in the wal
of the American revolution) is a source
of needless suffering TO the people of the
South African republics and without ad-
vantage to the operations of the English
army. and the slaughter of helpless and
innocent caused by English prison pens
are IL causeless outrage on the humanity
of the civilized word which amply Justify
concentrated remonstrance by American
and Eurpean states, and believing that the
rights and obligations of common human
ity are not determined by geographical
of political limitations, and regarding the
treaty of 1871 as made to be observed by
England as well as America, do mos
solemnly demonstrate and protest against
the acts of the English government
Resolved, That we, and each of us
do hereby pledge ourselves TO use oul
utmost powers to make this, our protest
known TO our several representatives il
the American congress aud to cause
copy of these resolutions, to be brough
to the attention of the president of thu
United States with our most reSpectfu u
but urgent petition that the treaty o
Washington, of May s. 1871. be strictl,
enforced and that the use of American
ports and waters be henceforth denied t.
vessels operating under British charte
for the augmentation of supplies of war
and that the president of The Unite'
States will employ every possible mean
to bring to an end the horrors of concen
tration camps and a warfare which b,
its unexampled ferocty and enormou
cost of life and treasure has astounde
the civilized world
Resolved, That the chairman
authorized to appoint a committee @
citizens of Chicago to call the attentio
of the president of these resolutions an
to inform him of the sentiment of tn
citizens of Chicago. and that such com
mittee shall have power to add to il
number citizens of other portions of tn
United States"
A resolution was also adopted com
mending Governor Yates of Illinois TO
issuing proclamation calling for as
sistance for the occupants of concentrs
tion camnS In South A frica.

A Wise Woman.

Much clamor is made in these days
for cleanliness and art IN theatricals.
We are told that many plays-in
fact, most of them-appeal to the
immoral Instincts: that the public
sets the pace and like "a fawning,
slavish servant, the stage follows.
1t may be granted without further
argument that there is perhaps an
ounce of truth in the contention, yet
when we glance at the list of truly
legitimate productions of the last
two or three years, and reflect upon
the hundreds Of faithful, Jealous
playwrights and producers who are
Leading the taste of the public by
sure and steady steps to a higher
plane, one is forced to agree that
this is not the period of stage deca-
dence. In comedy there has been
change and revival quite marked,
for having returned to its legitimate
function-true mirth based upon the
foibles Of mankind, which harms no
one and has happy termination.
Foremost in the latter class is the
comedy, ga Wise Woman" as
presented by talented company and
which will be seen for the first time
at the Opera House. The play is an
infection laugh-producer. 1t is 9
continuous laugh, and one laughs
because of the witty lines and true
to-life situations. As an evidence
of its popularity, good portion OF
the present season will be used by
this company in playing return dates
demanded of them by an enthusiastic
public.

WILL REVIVE.
Carruthers & OTOOle Expect to be on
Their Feet Again Soon.

Carruthers & O'Toole (the failure
of which firm was accidentally lett
out of the paper last week. are con-
fident that it will be but very short
time until they are doing business
again on their own management.
The assets are about $3.50 and
the liabilities S15, 900. Their as
signment was made necessary be-
cause of the reprehensible action OF
the Kleinschmidts. 1t will be re-
membered that John Rogers secured
a judgement against Isaac E. Blake
in the district court at Weiser and
under this secured a considerable
quantity of ore from the Peacock
mine. This ore was hauled off the
ground and stacked up by Rogers,
and his title was never questioned.
Roy Carruthers purchased a part OF
this ore at intervals during the sea-
son and short time ago shipped two
cars of this ore to the smelter at Salt
Lake. About the same time a cal
of Boston & Seven Devils ore was
shipped. One of the Kleinschmidts
-Reinhold- was nosing around the
country for an opening to perpetrate

Fortune Smiles on Them.

We have received personal and
unquestionable information from the
east that ga Wise Woman" is max
ing the strongest kind of a hit and
has been doing an enormous business.
Since the day it was started the
management have been digging out
and adding to it without fear of favor,
until now it stands without an equa
in its line.

The Big Comedy Event.

The great big comedy event of the
season will take place when the
new comedy farce GA Wise Woman"
will be presented in this city. Its
representation will enlist a corps of
artists of reputation and of undoubt-
ed talent.

and head of the family is a drunkard.
The boy was sent out to forage. AL
together he is bright little lad
L. is possible that in him there is the
making of a desperado IL is possible
that there is in him the making of a
great, fine man, who shall be light |
to the world or at least credit to
manhood 1t may be that he is
natural gamin, that he is precocious
little liar.
BUT, HE ASKED FOR A Ian
TERM
IN THE NAME OF HIGH HEAV-
EN-, IN THIS WORLD WHERE
THERE is so MUCH HEAPED
UP WEALTH, is THERE NONE
TO GIVE HIM ONE?
In the gloom of damnation the
son of wandering Cain grasped his
parents hand and cried, 'the way is
dark, Oh my fatherl" Must this young
soul drift into mature despair and
wander through the inky night of
crime because there is no one to give
him light 1t is, at least good
case for investigation. But, Great
God it is only too true that his is
the case of millions OF others. Chill
dren floating on Il hopeless sea, in
order that the few, through many
devious way, may roll and loll, lazlly
and luxuriously and sensually, in
their gathered millions. What
lantern is there to shed hope on the
pathway of the poverty-born child?
What CLEAN is there to light their
shriveed and hungry souls to com
mon comforts of life, not only in
, miserable, privation-strewn child
hood, but in adult years? Have the
forces and agencies which have cur
tailed honest reward for toll, that
have closed (or are closing) the
avenues for individual effort and
rendered it practically impossible for
the coming genera ions of boys to
own foot of land Of their own,
(while thousands of the girls must
look ahead to social impurities to
, secure from the wealthy those fancies
of apparel and adornment which
the feminine heart craves) have they
any lantern to spare for the me- tai
and bodily improvement Of the pale
and iovless host who roam half
clothed and half-fed through the
storm? In this strenuous age, what
, show is there for a shivering, thiev-
ing, begging child wandering through
the rain and telling lies in order to
get lantern, when grown man
cannot, in ten or twice ten years of
honest effort, own the roof that
covers his head?
But will some of those wise
ones, who know the secrets of the
:. wollds beyond the stars, explain
!, what brought this little Oliver Twis
to our door? There was no light tC
! draw him Why did his young, mud
soaked feet stray, of all places ir
the town, past the lights and through
the mist of night to the darkene(
- door of THE SIGNAL office? Wha
freak of fate took him to that part
icular place, although there was NJ
lantern there to provide him will
the decent home and the moderat
schooling which every child shoul'
have? What strange force impelle,
him to tap, tap, at that partcula
door? TO the writer it smacks 0
mystery.

From our many articles the past
few weeks re ceived from various
sources it will be seen that the comedy
farce, GA Wise Woman" is strictly
first-class attraction, with more
originality and novel features than
any company that has yet visited US.
1t remains to be seen how they will
be appreciated.

sources. Al present Mr.. Bush is a

Joys an income OF nearly $1,000 a year,

around Cambridge, selling ~pure

he determined To keep it up. He
made arrangements with a number of
farmers near his old home to send
