mented by Offer From Actor.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Mr. Joseph JEFF
ferson is anxious to have Miss Frances
RawIe Pembcrton. member Of the ex-
elusive society set of Philadelphia, join
ais company next season. Miss Pember-
ton has been studying for the stage. and
recently made her debut as Camille at the
Garrick Theater in Philadelphia The
press notices Of her work were most fat
tering and attracted the immediate at
tention Of the veteran actor.
Mr.. Joseph Jefferson, IT.. said last even
ing that his father had made Miss Penn
berton an Offer, Sut as yet no reply had
been received from her. He added THAI he
was not prepared to say what roles she
would be cast for If she Joined the com
pany- 1t is quite likely, however, that she

Rivals" part which, according to those
who have seen her act, ought to suit her
exactly.
Mr. Jefferson's desire to secure Miss
Pemberton's services as member Of his
company is heightened by his interest in
Philadelphia and its first families. in
whose homes ne is ever a welcome guest.
Several years ago he gave evidence OF his
generosity and his kindly feeling toward

GLUCOSE MAKERS AZ
PEORIA OUT OF WORK
Immense Plant Closed Down
by the Trust
War of Railways Results in Destruction
of Tracks Leading TO Factory and
Cutting OF of Supplies.

PEORIA, III, April 29.-The Glucose
Trust yesterday ordered the immense
glue works al Peoria closed for an Indeh-
mite period
To meet the demand for their goods, the
Pekin and Rockford plants have been or
dered to resume operations.
The closing Of the Peoria plant is di-
rectIy due TO the Peoria and Pekin Union
Railway, which has monopoly of the
switching business in Peoria. The Peoria
and Pekin Union owns all the entrance
tracks to the city. The Peoria and Pekin
terminal Is new company, which is at
tempting to get a share of the business,
and Sunday the terminal executed a coup
by rushing in a force Of 20 men tearing
out the switches operated by the Peoria
and Pekfn Union upon private ground
owned by the Glucose plant
The Peoria and Pckin Union positively
refused TO establish any connection with
the new tracks, and as a consequence the
Peoria plant cannot receive either corn
or coal and is compelled to close.
The Immediate cause Of the trouble be-
tween the trust and the Peoria and Pekin
Union is a discrimination Of 50 cents per
car switching rates between the glucose
company and the Whisky Trust distil-
Ieries-
The closing OF the Peoria plant throws
200 men out OF employment.

building the large law practice formerly
enjoyed by the firm of Long & Heming-
way.
officers on duty at the Navy Department
do not look for any radical changes in
the conduct Of affairs Immediately after
the advent of Mr.. Moody as Secretary.
During the past month Mr.. Moody has had
several long conferences with Secretary
Long in regard to the present general
policy of the department. AS a conse-
quence the new Secretary will be wele
prepared to continue the work done by
MI. Long for the Navy.
Although Mr.. Moody has not been a
member of the Naval Committee of the
House of Representatives he has always
taken a general interest in naval affairs
and has. on two occasions, made speeches
Of some length on annual naval appro-
priation bills. When the proposition to
transfer the photographic Office from the
control Of the Navy Department to the
Treasury was before Congress, Mr. Moody
grasped the opportunity to deliver g
speech on naval questions generally. AL
though Mr. Moody was heartily in favor
of taking the HydrograI bic ONCE from the
navy, which was in opposition to the
friends Of t;,e Navy Department, he
showed in his speech that he was gen
orally friendly to the navy.
Another Sevy significant change at the
Navy Department occurred today when
Rear Admire Crnwninshield was relieved
as chief OF the Bureau of Navigation by
