more rigid competition In the labor

with twice as many competitors as
Great Britain, France, Belgium, Ger
many, Austria, Denmark, switzerland,

Spain combined, and with a capacity
for wants that six cents per day will

momentous Importance that we elm

NUMBER 30.
"Ben Hur" in Pittsburg.

Klaw & Erlanger's original produc-
tion OF "Ben Hur" with cast, scenery
equipment, horses and camels begins
limited engagement at the Alvin Thea
ire, Pittsburg, Tuesday evening, Dec
ember 10th. This imposing spectacle
is sermon in varied speech, illustrat-
ed by art and music. Its thread OF sug-
gestion is forward and upright. The
curtain rises on the tableau OF the Three
Wise Men In the desert and the flaming
Star Of Bethlehem, the mans hand rails
ed In awe and reverence as they group
about their camels. The dreamy waste
of aridity is wonderfully impressive.
Then comes the brilliantly colored
picture of the housetops OF JeresaleV,
the terrace OF the Palace Of Hur. Next
is the great scene of the play-the dim
interior of the Roman gallery ship the
grlm-visaged slaves tugging at the oars,
in rhythmic motion, then the wreck,
Ben Hur and his captain struggling In
the waves. The scene changes to the
home Uf Simoniden a moment later
comes the vision Of the sunlit grove OF
Daphne, with the suberb temple reared
to the God Apollo; Roman maidens
dance joyously, but the central figure is
Ben Hur, the soldier, stern and unre-
lenting.
Again the scene changes and we are
at the Fountain OF Castalia, a lake
dancing in the pale moonlight, with
gliding boat and howery shores in the
cool gray shadows with Iras, the Egyp-
tian trying the wiles of Cleopatra on
Ben Hur.
After this, comes the chariot race,
probably the most vividly thrilling
moving picture that the stage has ever
known. A rumble is heard in the back
ground, the hurrying clatter of horses
feet, two chariots, each drawn by four
horses, form the centre Of the picture.
The animals with far stretched necks
| and dilated nostrils, run like mad,
urged on by the whips of the chariot
eers, Ben Hur and his deadly enemy,
| Messala. The wheels OF the chariots
rumble and sway. Now Hur is ahead,
now Messala, then Hur, and the race is
won.
The last scene is a fitting climax to
the brilliant stage picture. 1t repre-
sents the Vale of Hennom, which be-
comes transparent. revealing the Mount
of Olives and the City of Jerusalem.
Great multitudes come TO greet the Naz-
arene singing hymns of praise and
alteration. The miracle Of the cleans
ing Of the lepers is performed, but the
Christ's personality is not represented.
His presence is indicated by shaft Of
white light which tradition says was
reflected from His person. Ben Hur,
his mother and sister are united amid
great chorus of thanksgiving swelling
out from the hillsides all around, as the
final curtain falls.
The music which Edgar Stillman
Kelley has composed for the production
has much to do with the success of
ben Hur." 1t is scholarly and credit
able alike for its dignity and serious
purpose.

Will Take Action Against the X. of L

1t is said that Simon Burns will take
action against the General Assembly Of
the Knights OF Labor to show cause
why he should not continue as General
Master Workman OF the Order. After
conference with the Executive Board
of the Window Glass Workers Monday,
Burns left suddenly for Washington, ID.
c., where during the greater part Of
Tuesday he was in consultation with an
attorney. Burns, after having been de-
cared General Master Workman by a
majority vote 10 the Indianapolis meet
ing, was Ousted by star chamber ses-
sion, and during his absence. This
action is regarded by the friends Of
Burns as illegal and it is generally be-
lieved that his claim for the Office Of
General Master Workman will be push
ed. The meeting OF the executive board
was partly for the purpose Of determin-
ing what steps to pursue in regard to
the sum of money advanced by Burns to
the Hayes faction, (said to be upwards
of $50,000) In fighting the Parsons fac
tion, and also sum exceeding $4,000
given as security for deed of the pro-
perty OF the Knights OF Labor in Wash
ington. This deed money is still intact
and, according to the ruling of the
court, will remain so until after the de-
cision of the court. National Glass

Walter and another boy were out in a
field not far from Mr.. Dougherty's resi-

to allow him to take the gun out to shoot
the rabbit. Mrs. Dougherty refused
the boy at first but he plead so earnest

with grief. There was not help enough
around to carry Walter into house and
haps and pillows were carried out to
the field and a comfortable bed made
for the boy until men arrived to carry
him to house.

thing possible was done to save the
boys life, but the wound was too much
for human skill and the young life end.

Walter was very obedient boy, sweet
