The strike of the switchmen at
Pittsburg is a very serious matter to
the business interests of the country
Just now. The roads centering in
that city, especially the Pennsyl-
vania, have for some time been taxed
to the utmost to handle the freight
on their respective lines. This strike
will cause congestion of freight at
MANY points and will seriously en-
barrass both freight and passenger
business. The advance in pay de-
manded by the strikers is not large
and. to an outsider, it looks as if the
conflict ought to have been avoided.
1t is claimed by the strikers that they
are simply asking for the same wages
in Pittsourg that are paid in Chi
cage.

WHITE SLAVE.

At the Gennett this evening the
white Slave will be the attraction.
The w bite Slave is what can be
termed 81 Jelly a moral play. The
ointment is lofty, and the struggle
of a young girl to guard her chastity
against the onslaught of ra>cally
roue forms the basis OF the plot.
There is nothing to offend and much
to admire in the theme, and, more
over, it is all not only probable, but
the same scenes were constantly en-
acted in real life during the period of
slavery. 1t was the same coalition
so graphically reflected in The
White Slave" that brought about
the war of 81 '05, and 1t all has the
charm of history and as it interested
the past generation so will it enter
tain and enlighten the children. 1t
is vastly superior to the later day
productions of the same class, and
when properly staged, as it is this
season, it can not but renew its
triumphs. Special prices 25, 35, so
75c.
THANKSGIVING PLAY.
Mistress Nell at The Gennett on
will do a fine business.
The rush for seats is already great.
There is a matinee in the afternoon.
The prices are 80 and IS cents, and
seats are reserved as for the night
performances. No play ever produced
has a record of success equal to that
of Mistress Nell. 1t was originally
produced in New York and Henrietta
Crossman in the title role and its sue
cess was so Instantaneous that the
limited engagement OF three weeks
W s extended to an entile season
Mistress Nell occupying during last
year the Bijou, Savoy and Wallach S

Elk Congressman Lorimer of Chi

Elk Congressman Lorimer of Chi
cago has sued the Chicago Record
Herald for libel. He asks 800, 900
damages. Mr. Lorimer has for a
good many years occupied the posi-
tion of Republican boss in the city by
the unsalted sea. OF late the fates
have turned against him and his
nominate ns have been unpopular.
Now he seems to be more sensitive
to newspaper attacks than formerly,
and hence the damage suit.

Offers OF Compromise Being Mads
by Ramsey Heirs.
HARD FOUGHT SUIT.
Texas Lawyer al New York Consulting
the Claimants There In the Con-
troversy-The Value ~ the
Property Has Dwlndled.

New York. Aug. 7.-George IT, Plow.
man, a lawyer Of Dallas. Tex. is in the
city for the purpose Of consulting his
clients. Mrs. Mary Gray Mexia. widow
of General Mexia Of the City Of Mexico,
and her daughter. Miss Amaea Lucy
Mexia, who are among the contestants
of the will of General Mexia. who died
in the City Of Mexico in 1904 His es-
tate consists OF more than $1,000 acres
of land in Texas, rs we'll as bonds and
other property.
Offers OF a compromise have been
made by some Of the contestants and
Mr.. Plowman will discuss these terms
with Mrs. Mexia and her daughter. The
contest Of the will. which has been be.
fore the courts at Dallas for more than
Ave years. is one Of the most celebrated
law cases Of the state. The estate orig
inally was valued at si,00O,0O0, and Is
now believed TO DO worth about $780,
600. Mrs. Mexia is now living in Pat
erson. ~ j., where they have resided
for several years. General Mexia held
high rank in the Mexican army. was
close friend Of President Diaz and for
n long time one Of his chief advisors,
and for many years was president Of
the Mexican National Lottery.
According 20 evidence before the Dial.
las court it was shown that in 1861 he
met Miss Mary Gray. who was NJ the
time living with her father near New
Orleans. General Mexia being ON ac-
tive duty in the Mexican army at Tam
pico at the time fixed for the wedding,a
marriage by proxy was arranged The
validity Of this marriage by proxy has
been repeatedly attacked. inasmuch as
General Mexia in 1868 married Mrs.
Ramsey, widow Of Colonel A. O. Ram
sey, a United States army officer. Three
were born TO Mrs Ramsey
while she was the col1nels wife, CLAIR
ence NJ. Inez and Adele. The second
wife having died on March IS. 1895. the
general married Mrs. Martha W
