secretary and treasurer took up the en-
tire time of the convention.
During the course OF the day there
was one surprise sprung on the dele
gates, and one important decision was
also made. The surprise came in the
form of an objection to the seating of
the United Mime Workers delegates be-
cause of ar alleged arrearage IN their
per capita tax. The objection was over
ruled by an almost lnanimous vote OF
the delegates. The important question
: decided related to the contested seat
Of the delegate from the Central Labor
union of Richmond Va, which body
refused to admit negro wOrknlen to its
organization. The dispute was ADJUST
ed by seating the delegate.
The annual reports Of President Com
perS, Secretary Frank Morrison and
Treasurer John B. Lennon were made
public.
Mr.. Gompers' report shows a net in
crease of 313 local unions for the year
and Il gain of 3iI,i 40 members. From
national and International unions and
the federation direct there were issued
4,O56 charters for newly formed unions,

ROYAL Quarrel Denied,

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The Dutch gov
crnment and the Dutch court are again
strenuously denying the stories of mat
rlmonlal quarrcls between Queen Will
helmina and the prince consort. but
the scandal has become too public for
any hope Of hushing it up. According
to some reports, n reconciliation be-
tween the queen and Prince Henry
was effected largely through the intlu-
ence of Emperor William, and the
queen mother, in order to preserve an
appearance of concord, even paid the
prince consort's debts. The Dutch min
listers at foreign courts continue to
aver that the couple live in ''an ideal
ly happy union" and ARE devotedly
attached to each other" etc.

THE PARISH PRIEST.

The "Parish Priest comes to
the Grand Opera House next Sat
urday afternoon aud night, There
are so many plays or the road that
style themselves dramas that it is
really refrc cshlng when one of eX-
ceptional merit presents itself.
In the Parish Priest" we are
promised play that lor natural
ness and intense interest has never
been surpassed. For years Daniel
Sully has been seeking play that
would amuSe. as we'll as teach a
strong moral lesson and his search
has at last been rewarded. Ior
heart throbs and smiles there has
never been play more cleverlv
written. The lines are bright. the
comedy sparkling and the sltua-
tions exciting and novel. The theme
deals with ambition and shows how
people will cast off those who love
and honor them to gain wealth aud
position.
MIR. Sully has spared no expense
in the presentation OF this play.
has surrounded him mscll with
cast OF exceptional strength and
mounted the play with special
scenery and accessories.
