LAFAYETTE THEATER-Al H. Wilson.
a well-known German dialect comedian and
singer, presented at the Lafayette Square
Theater last night for the first time in
Washington a play entitled "a Prince of
Tntters," from the pen of Sidney r. Ellis.
The work Is a dramatic composition OF
merit from popular point of view. 1t is
beautifully mounted and is presented by a
company which Is notably competent. The
consequence last night was that the au-
dience. which filled every part of the thea
ter received the performance enthusiastical-
ly. compelled Mr.. Wilson to bow before the
curtain many times, and finally to make a
brief speech.
The "Prince of Tatters'' is an exiled Aus
trian nobleman who comes to the new world
about the year 100 in search of a high
born Englishwoman to whom he was mar
ried while child. The period and cos
tunes are thus those of the English and
Dutch struggle for the possession of New
Amsterdam. a particularly picturesque and

DOUGLAS SAYS HE
WILL AWAIT EVENTS
Filing of Vacancies Is Question to Be
Settled After the Primaries Have
Been Held.

Attorney General Douglas has re-
ceived numerous inquiries as to the
filling of vacancies on legislative and
county tickets by committees of the
several parties.
"The question of the rights of the
committees to fill vacancies on the
ticket is knotty one,'' said Mr..
Douglas yesterday, "and I am now
engaged in looking up the law and the
authorities. I shall not give out my
opinion until after the primary cleo
ton has been held, in order that there
may be no advantage taken of it by
any Of the political parties. The
election law provides for the filling of
vacancies in one of the sections, but
evidently this will not be in full force
and effect, now that the legislature at
the last regular session amended the
law by making changes in the manner
of nominations under the primary law.
1t is very likely that the question of
filing vacancies will have to be pass
ed on by the supreme court before
the question is definitely settled"

CLOSELY FOLLOWS HER
HUSBAND IN DEATH
Mrs. EIdora Middleton Dies Less Than
Two Weeks After Her Life
Mate.

A sad journey, doubly so from the
fact that it is the second In less than
two weeks, will be made tomorrow
morning when friends and relatives
will convey overland to Cottage Grove
cemetery, near the Dakota county line,
the remains of Mrs. Eldora Middleton,
whose death occurred on Wednesday
morning at o'clock. At Cottage
Grove she will be laid beside the body
of her husband, James Middleton, who
preceded her eight days ago.
When the remains of her husband
were conveyed to their last resting
place last week services were first held
at the family residence, 4O5 Ashland
avenue, the funeral party then leaving
for it's long trip overland, only stop
ping at Woodbury. farm for refresh
ments. The same programme will be
carried out with the remains of Mrs.
Middleton this morning.
Mrs Middleton had been seriously
ill for the past nine weeks, diabetes be-
ing the cause. At no time were strong
hopes entertained for her recovery, any
hopes in fact being shattered when
week ago her husband suddenly be-
came ill and died.
To the family Mr.. Middleton's death
came as a Shock and to the wife, one,
which in her weakened condition,
eventually quickened her demise.
Mrs. MIDDLETON, who was fifty-six
years of age, had been a resident of st.
Paul since 1864, when she came with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. o. Mas
terman, from Maine. For years she
was a resident of Saltwater and there
married her husband in 1866
Mrs. Middleton is survived by Mrs.
C. E. Sherin and Mrs. J. G. Fisher, of
New York; j. Edwin Middleton and
wife, of Chicago, and Miss Margaret
Middleton, of ST. Paul.

WAGON TIPS AND MAN
is KILLED ON STREET
Wheel Catches in Car Track, Vehicle
Upsets and Driver Is Fa-
tally Hurt.

In turning out of the street car
track, on Eighth street, at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, Fred Linde, a
teamster, was pitched from his wagon
and was run over. One hour later the
man died at the city hospital.
Linde was driving up Eighth street,
and when within 100 feet of Mime
sofa street, turned out of the car
track. One of his horses slipped and
the other became frightened. The
team plunged forward, and Linde was
thrown from his seat. He fell under
the wheels and the wagon, loaded with
heavy iron pipe passed over his body.
Linde dragged himself to the side
walk, while the team dashed up the
street at a breakneck speed. In front
of Engine House No. s part of the
load tipped. At Cedar and Fourth
street, totally exhaused, the horses
were stopped by a policeman.
The firemen at the engine house
carried Linde into the barn. He COM
planned of pains in his back and chest.
He was sent to the city hospital and
died in few minutes after being
placed in cot.
Linde lived at 713 Preble street, and
is survived by a wife and number
of small children. His body was view
ed by Coroner Miller at the city hos
pital last night. There will be no in
quest. Linde was employed by Holt &
Dahl, Payne avenue, plumbers.

GOVERNOR CALLS FOR
MEMORIAL SERVICES
Asks People of State to Observe An
niversary of Mckinley's
Death.

Gov. Van SAINT, following the exam
pie of the governors of other states, has
issued a proclamation recommending
that the people of Minnesota appro-
priately observe the anniversary of the
death of President Mckinley and that
suitable exercises be held in the places
Of public worship.
The proclamation issued by the gov
ernor is as follows:
In common with the executives of
other states of the Union 1 desire to
call attention to the fact that Sunday,
Sept. IA, will be the first anniversary
Of the death of our late and lamented
President William Mckinley. The peo-
pie of America revere his memory
and hold in grateful recollection his
great and patriotic life. A tribute to
his memory will always find ready re-
sponse in every true American heart.
In recognition of his exalted life and
great achievements I earnestly urge
that on the above named day memorial
services be held at the usual hour of
worship in the churches Of all denom-
nations throughout the state, and that
we then seek the inspiration which is
given by the pure Christian life and
character of our departed president.

WHO OWNS THE POLES?
FIRE BOARD ASKS LEGAL AID.
VICE AFTER ARGUMENT
Power to Grant Permits for Locating
and Resetting Stats Is Taken From
Supt. Neary, Who Accuses Schwei-
zer of Making Damaging Inference.

Hereafter all requests for permits
for the location or resetting of fire
alarm poles will be made through the
fire board At the regular meeting
last night this authority was taken
from Fire Alarm Superintendent
Neary. The action was the outgrowth
of an inference made at the last
meeting that the permits had other
purposes than simply for fire alarm
use.
Neary Starts Argument.
At the meeting last night Supt.
Neary submitted list of the per-
mits he had secured, together with an
explanation regarding their ownership
and use, which was exclusively for
fire alarm purposes, and included his
regrets that Mr.. Schweizer had been
informed that nefarious practices were
in vogue. This regret seemed to net
tie Mr.. SchweiZer greatly, he taking
Mr.. Neary to task for presuming that
he, Mr. Schweizer, had so inferred.
Il never doubted your action for a
moment. I simply wanted to be
posted" said Mr.. Schweizer "How
did you ever get the Idea that the real
use of those permits was in question
and that / said SOP"
Letter Is Produced.
why, the press and the secretary's
letter, asking me for a statement, led
me to believe that such existed" an
swered Mr.. Neary.
Here the letter asking Mr.. Neary for
an explanation Of the permits taken
out for fire alarms purposes, and also
what, If any, had been taken out for
any telephone, telegraph or other pub
lie service corporation, was produced.
Mr.. Schweizer could not see an in
ference in this language, and finally
concluded the argument, but not be-
fore he had secured the sanction of
the board to have the offending por-
ton of Mr.. Neary's report suppressed
from the minutes.
Legal Opinion Requested.
The discussion led to an expression
of doubt as to who was the real own
er of the poles and wires for permits
which had been secured, and the sec
retary was instructed to secure an
opinion on the matter from the legal
department.
The balance Of the evening was
given over to lengthy discussion on
the best method of advertising for
bids on $4,000 bushels of oats and 45O
tons of hay. 1t was finally decided to
ask for bids on immediate delivery
and also on delivery to order.

VIGOROUSLY ENFORCE
CHILD LABOR Law
Commissioner Issues Drastic Orders
and Co-operates With Public
School Officials.

Labor Commissioner O'Donnell has
issued orders to his inspectors to make
close investigation as to the employ
ment Of children under sixteen years Of
age and prosecute every case they find
without regard to persons or excuses.
"The employer of labor in this state
cannot offer any reasonable excuse or
plead ignorance Of the laws relating to
child labor and education" said the
labor commissioner yesterday, 'for the
press of the state has long and ably as
sisted this department in bringing the
child labor laws to the attention of the
public.
This department has the hearty CO.
operation of the school authorities in
enforcing the child labor laws, and the
school superintendent will issue ex-
cuses only to those who can give good
reasons why they should be excused
from school.
Children may get an excuse allow
ing them to be employed in nom
manufacturing establishment, but
these are not good for manufacturing
plants, and the inspectors will take up
these excuses when the children are
employed in manufacturing establish
ments and have the employers dis
charge them"
Numerous advertisements in the pa
pers for boys between twelve and four
teen years of age started Labor Com
missioner O'Donnell on the crusade,
and Assistant Superintendent of
Schools Bond was consulted yesterday
regarding the matter.
IF anything there is an increase In
the number of applications from par
ents for children to be allowed to work
instead of going to school, said As
sistant Superintendent Bond last even
ing. I'm the past the explanation Of
fered was that it was absolutely neces-
sary that the children be allowed to
work in order to help the family as
times were hard. The number of chill
dren who ask for permission to work in
stead of attending school is increasing.
I am glad that the labor department is
taking the matter up and Commission
O'Donnell will have the hearty coop
Grafton Of the school authorities"

DAYBREAK SCENES AT
CATHEDRAL ARE NOVEL
Hundreds of SomberIy Clad Women
Daily Mingle With Townward-
Bound Workers.

A visit to the Cathedral this week
would surely restore the faith of the
cynic who AYERS that religion has gone
out of fashion, Early every morning
-as early, indeed, as 5 o'clock-little
groups of soberly gowned women may
be seen mounting the old gray stone
steps of the church.
The scene within is in sharp con-
trast to the scene without. For 5
o'clock is the waking-up time of the
down-to district, and a sleepy bus
tie mildly suggests the approach of
busy day. The dark gowned women
meet the advance guard of the dinner
pail brigade, men who brush the sleep
out of their eyes as they stride along.
The scrub women and the janitors
are also part Of this o'clock advance
guard, and as they hurry down Sixth
street they stare curiously at those
who are out for neither toll nor pleas
ure. But If there is hustle outside,
there is only tranquility within the
walls of the grim Cathedral. At 5
o'clock one of the Paulist Fathers who
are conducting the mission at the Ca
thedral says mass.
1t is what is called low mass. Only
a few tapers burn on the altar. A
single acolyte, kneeling on the altar
steps, murmurs the responses. The
church is we'll filled with worshipers,
though only a dim light creeps
through the CathedraPs narrow, old
fashioned windows. and the faces of
those kneeling in the church are bare
ly discernible in the gloom.
AT the conclusion of the mass some
leave, but the majority stay through
out the morning. 1t is a religious re-
vival in a way yet it is curiously un-
like revival. 1t totally lacks any
touch of sensationalism. There is a
sermon, to be sure, but it is a quiet
talk rather than vehement exhorta-
tion.
AS the morning gradually awakens a
stronger light streams through the
windows, and faint echo of the out
side noise and fret steals into the
church. 1t does not disturb the wor-
shippers, however. At noon they re-
turn to their homes, but in the after
noon they once more gather in the
church.
The evening service begins with
prayer, after which there is a sermon
and a hymn is sung, the congregation
dispensing to meet at o'clock again
the next morning.
Retreats and missions are two char
acteristic features of the Catholic re-
ligion. The former are for the clergy
and the latter for the laity. They are
simply periods of retirement that are
spent in prayer and meditation.
