Amelia BInqInam.

Already much interest has been melted among theatre-goers concerning the first appearance of the Amelia Bingham com- pany in "A Modern Magdalen," and there is every reason to expect a crowded house at the Jefferson theatre tonight.
 The fame of Miss Binghams ability as a clever and talented actress and mana ger is we'll established among theatre goers by her productions at the BiJou theatre in New York last season. The theatre-goer has. in the Amelia Bing- ham company a group of stars and the names of Henry E. Dixey, Wilton Lack aye, Joseph Holland, Ferdinand Gott- schalk, Hobart Bosworth- Amelia Bing- ham, Alfred Fisher, Madge Carr Cooke, Lucille Spinney, Adele Harrington, Rose Braham, Maud Moffat.

It is said that many brilliant, colorful and picturesque scenes will be seen in "A Royal Family the regal comedy which will be presented by Miss Percy Haswell and her company at the Jeffer- son theatre tomorrow, matinee and night. All the characters are court personages and the costuming, to be accurate must be royal and rich.

fight in the anthracite coal fields may
be tn prospect.
/, is understood that President
Roosevelt brought the coal trust OPP
orators to agree to "the commission"
by the threat Of proceedings against
them under the interstate and anti
trust statutes As the price of coal
has been advanced by the trust, in
spite Of the staying of the strike,
much beyond the price in former
years. the administration would seem
to be responsible for the high price,
il no steps are taken to bring the
trust to time. If their fear Of the
threat Of the president was sufficient
to make them agree to allow a COM
mission to be appointed, the same
power could force the trust to stop
bleeding the public by the high price
OF coal.
Neither President Roosevelt or the
coal trust operators need think that
the coal consumers will be satisfied
until they are furnished coal at rea-
soma bic price.

Is not a deadlock what the repub-

Can you find republican who does
