not play the leading role in his If Il Were King" which he went to Lon-, don to rehearse two weeks ago. Broad way is wondering whether the play wright came to this decision on the same day the cable told him Mrs. Will liam Faversham had sued her hus- band for divorce.
 News that MT. Mccarthy had changed his mind suddenly came from London yesterday, and caused all the more perturbation in theatrical circles because it was understood Miss Opp and he were engaged, and that he had written If I Were King to create role worthy of his future wife.
 Miss Opp was the leading woman in MT Faversham's company when the rumor that Mrs. Fayersham was contemplating an application for di- yorce first was circulated. Mrs. Faversham at that time denied that she had any such intention, and Howe and Hummel, her lawyers, said she spoke the truth of the situation as it was then
 Miss Opp sailed for London at a time when unconfrmed and apparent ly unfounded gossip connected her name with the Faversham case, and when she was on the ocean Mrs. Fayersham filed the necessary papers and a referee was appointed to hear the evidence
 The name of the correspondent has not been made public, nor have any of the circumstances which, in Mrs Faversham's opinion, warrant her ill seeking a decree absolute.
 MT FayerSham, at last accounts, 1.ie his wife really would push the case.
 She has refused to say q word as to the woman whom she accuses in her the correspondent hasn't said word. An immediate revival of interest in the Fayersham case and the plans of Miss Opp followed the arrival of the to select another leading woman The status of his engagement is a matter for surmise, and there was no end of | speculation about it yesterday The definite announcement that
 Mrs. Faversham had filed papers must have followed Miss Opp closely to Lon don. She is an american woman, not english, as it is commonly believed. Formerly she was the wife of Robert Lorraine. who few weeks ago threw
 up the leading part in '.Notre Dame" :"
 then in rehearsal at Daly's. Mr. Me
 Carthy was divorced from Cecelia Lof- tus not long ago.
 Miss Opp's career has been sigular- ly free from scandal, and the mere gossip concerning her in connection with the Fayersham case has been re-
 sented by her friends, who have said there was not the slightest ground for i it, and that it was idle and unjustifi- i able talk growing out of the simple fact that she was the leading woman
 in Faversham's company.
 l The London dispatch of yesterday. l telling of Mir. McCarthy's decision that Miss Opp is not to be in the lead l in If l Were King" gave no particu- lars as to the nature of her reception l by the playwright, who, it is supposed
 was in possession of the facts concern 1 ing the Fayersham case before she set foot ill England. Whether or not that news ill any way influenced him in his determination to replace the actress he first selected as his heroine is not known.

 In a letter in the recent number of the International Bookbinder, the official organ of the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders, which was printed over the signature of F. c. Ramiew, the following interest ing remarks are made: 'In cOnclu- sion, one fact that comes home to us as an organization is this, that the Semitic races must be reckoned with in the bookbinding industry in New York city. If any one wants proof of that fact, he can find it by walking through the business streets of our city or take the directory and find at least q dozen or more boOkbinderS who are of that race and who employ no others in their shops. We certainly have no feeling against them as a race only for the one fact, and that is that they gener- ally work for less money than our men or men of other creeds receive for the same amount of laboy. It cer- tainly seems to me that in the near future the organizations, to protect themselves, must start out to organ ize them either in an organization of their own, as was tried some time ago, or to amalgamate them with the other organization at present in existence. 1t is q problem that must be met and solved, and the sooner it is solved the better it is for the craft at large in our city"
 The question of the recognition of labor unions is still q thorn ill the flesh of the industrial world. It would seem to us that if the employer would concede the right to the employe 10 organize and use his influence toward securing the selection of reliable lead CTS, and the employees on the other hand would concede the right of his fellow workmen to join or refrain from joining the labor union, and both en- ployer and employe would take each other into their confluence and thor oughly discuss any difference that might arise, the antagoniSm to labor unions would soon disappear.
 This is the general plan upon which railway labor organizations are con- ducted and they certainly are not con- sidered menace to industrial stabil- ity. In fact. it is the. rule rather than the exception for the representatives of the railway organizations to annu- ally meet the general officers of the different railway systems to discuss and adjust any differences which may exist. The result is a feeling of respect and confidence in each other and a practical guarantee of stability to in dustrial conditions on railway proper ty.
 While the time may come when in corporations of labor unions will be q practical solution, we believe that the most effective remedy at the present time is education along the lines of | mutual confidence and the establish ment of local boards of mediation or l arbitration, and that upon the failure or inability to reach a satisfactory set clement before resorting to strike o1 | lockout the services of the bureau o1 mediation and arbitration be invoked
 and that there be no stoppage of work through strike or lockout until all
 available means to adjust the trouble
 have been exhausted.

The final opportunity to see one of the very finest of vaudeville shows will be offered tonight when this weeks splendid bill at the Jacques will be given it's last presentation.

To succeed this great show, opening Monday afternoon, Manager POli has arranged a remarka- ble bill, headed by the Russell broth CTS, who are known the world over as the leading attraction in present day vaudeville. These remarkable com edians have taken the place in vaude- vile that was formerly held by Weber and Fields, the Rogers brothers and the Four Cohans, and there is no one in sight who can hope to equal them in popularity and ability In present. ing them Manager Poli has no hope of being able to make the returns meet the outlay this week. but he has de- cided to play them regardless of profit in order to show appreciation of the liberal patronage that has already been extended to his vaudeville enterprise here. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for the matinees, all ladies 10: evening prices for all. 10 20 and 30 cents.

WAY DOWN EAsT.v

So much success has already attend ed William A. Brady's production of sWay Down East" which will be seen at Polls on Tuesday and Wednesday, with Wednesday matinee. that it may be expected another avalanche in the way of attendance will greet it here. With a story as clear as day, with characters as picturesque as the stage can show them, Mrs Parker has put forward in her play that which is re freshing to the theater-goers and ideal iZed by those who look to New Eng land for their typical characters. Way Down East" is true story of the country gentleman. and it's serious in cidents are intermingled with the com edy side of life, which makes it entire 1v wholesome. Manager William A.. Brady has surrounded Way Down East with one of the strongest com panies of players travelling. The scenic effects will be entirely new and very beautiful and very elaborate. The farm pictures and the snow scene lend themselves we'll to stage realism. The sale of seats opens Monday.

The following report from the an- nual report of State Labor Commis- sioner McMackin of New York con- tains a good deal of common sense :: "A somewhat new condition has de- yeloped in connection with disputes In this state by the organization of em- ployers for the implied and often avoWed purpose of resisting the de- mands of organized labor. Should ne cessity arise it will also be used to enforce conditions of employment. If wisdom and justice prevail and the two organized bodies recognize and realize their common interest in and dependence on each other. good rather than harm will come of this condition

 There are two classes of people who are always menace to the stability of industrial prosperity. On the one hand is the arrogant employer and on the other the unwise or reckless labor leader. It is unjust and often crimi- nal to cause an unnecessary strike. It is certainly true that such strikes

The cutters of the great glove houses, at Brussels and in France earn even higher wages than the cutters of the most fashionable tailors i'll London and New York. So difficult is the work of cutting gloves that most of the principal cutters are known to the trade by name and by fame, and the peculiar knives which they use i'll their business are so highly prized that they are handed down from generation to generation as heirlooms.
