Closure Of G hurch Schools in France

Closure Of c hurch Schools in France
Paris is tumult over the policy ex-
ercised by the government in closure
of church schools. 1t seems from ac-
counts that have been published, the
patrician element, especially of the
women, is arrayed in favor of derom-
national schools, and the middle class,
the Socialists as they are termed,
against it. A trio of blue. bloods, while
riding through the Place de Ia Con-
corde, were assaulted because they
wore silk hats, while a meeting was
being held by number of aristocratic
ladies to denounce the governments
treatment of the Sisters. The cavalry
men rescued them with difficulty.
About $4,000 persons assembled in
the Place de la Concorde and the
Champs Elysees. on the 9th ult., the
assemblage being largely OF women,
who showed much zeal in support OF
their objects of contention. The dem
onstration eliminated in an attempt
to reach the Ministry of the Interior
with petition in behalf OF the Sisters.
The police barred their progress. A
countess headed another delegation to
call on Nine. Loubet, wife of the Pres.
ident. They we're refused admission
and told that Madame was packing to
60 to the country and could not see
them.
Whatever may have been the object
of closing parochial schools, it seems
that the government is steadfast in
the policy, and that OPP
position and support has been very
closely aligned by the aristocratic and
plebeian classes of the social fabric.

Theaters and Their Management.
The Curtain Drawn for Bare Glimpse Behind
the Scenes.

the scenes.
The management of Olympia Thea.
has been turned over to Mr.. Christie
pher for the reason that he did not
deem ii advisable from the mcagre re-
ceipts during what is elsewhere known
as the " closed season." to pay for at
tentiOn to details which he thinks he
can perform as well himself He is
beginning to realize that theaters, as
such, seldom pay at their best, fair
interest on the money invested. They
are generally run as an adjunct to
other business or to crafty the ambi.
ton OF those who have plenty OF money
to serve their whims and caprices.
That there is very little money in
theaters, as sure investments, is shown
by glance around us. The New
Market Theater, in Portland, a quarter
of century ago, was closed after a
year or two and turned into depot
for agricultural implements; the Mar.
guam Grand, built in 1890, wrecked
its owner financially in four or five
years; Cordray, with his immense
business, made no money and the
management was placed in his wife's
name for evident reasons. Frye's op-
era house at Seattle, destroyed by fire
was not rebuilt, and the old Armory
was used for dramatic entertainments
till few years ago. In the early
nineties Seattle had no stage to COM
pare with that OF Olympia Theater.
Cort went through bankruptcy last
year, from losses incurred in theatrical
enterprises. The Seattle Theater has
never paid satisfactory dividends to its
projectors. Tacoma Theater was sold =,
a few years ago, for bare trifle Of its
cost of construction, involving a loss
of many thousands OF dollars to those
who built it. Vancouver Theater (B.
CO. is owned by the railroad, and the
new Everett Theater by wealthy syn

for profits, being satisfied with indirect
benefit.
The Baldwin, Of San Francisco,
which was the jeYel theater OF the
coast, never "paid its keeping" but
the ambitious millionaire, Lucky"
Baldwin, maintained it at loss, so that
people would not have to " go outside"

have bankrupted the management had
it not been for the immense sale of beer
and cigars, for which service it has be-
come famous.
Olympia Theater was built more to
supply long felt want" than from
any anticipation of big profits. That
it has fulfilled its mission has been
amply demonstrated by its history,
and its protector has found in his in.

some reward for his endeavor. Co.'S

A Beneficent Trust Proposed.

1t is now proposed to form a trust
for supplying meals for individuals or
families much cheaper than can be
cooked Eat home," and of equal edi.
bility. 1t ia proposed that you simply
give your order by telephone-check
off what You please-and it comes,
like liquid ON tap, at the bare sug.
gestion of labor, cooked "to the
Queens taste," and served with all the
Turveydrop department acquired by
professional experience.
What delightful news this will be to
the tired housewife-for it is proposed
to bring this great labor.saver within
the reach Of the poorer families, the
women who do their own work; to
Danish the hot stove from the house
during these days of ninety in the
shade. What splendid suggestion it
is that dishwashing may be relegated
to memories of the past age, and that
the trouble of arranging a daily menu
may be reduced to a perfunctory selec-
ton OF courses from an appetizing bill
OF fare. 1t is proposed likewise, by
use of pneumatic tubes for rapid tran.
sit of orders, and the establishment of
branches to serve them all over the
larger cities and at stations in the
smaller ones, to make the grand GEN.
trail "hashery" of utility to every
member OF the community. The sup.
plies will, of course, be graded to the
ability of customers to pay, but in all
events they will be much cheaper than
can be produced by the consumer on
the most economical basis.
The only objection we can see to the
suggestion is that the promised bene-
fits are SO different from the results
generally handed out by trusts, that
we fear there is some catch whereby
the monopoly will land a fish instead
OF the whale swallowing Jonah. It
may be that after cook stoves are sent
to the foundry to be recast into works
OF art and the dish.cloths have been
burned, that the trust will regulate
prices so that wind will be substituted
for rice in the pudding, and the dump
ling will be filled with artichokes in
stead OF apples.
How soon this innovation will be
introduced is not stated, but as tho
railroad magnates have done the unex.
pected in reducing rates, is il too
much to expect that some philan.
thropist-like J. Pierpont Morgan, for
instence-may not conclude to dis
pense this panacea for human trouble
with the lavish hand OF q Carnegie in
doing out mental food in the shape OF
public libraries!
1t will no harm to wait patiently, as
wait we must, under any circumstan-
ces.

A HOLDUP
Jimmie Collier Faces Man
 With Gun.

The first holdup to occur in thls eitv for months happened Monday night shortly after TO o'clock,
 Jimmie Collier, one of the best known railroad smployes, while going home and when near Bledsoe's grocery store, was suddenly halted by a man, who with revolver In his hand commanded hlm to dig up what money he had,
 MT. Collier proceeded to go down for his morsy Instantly and just as the man was getting ready to receive his money another came up the street, Ills approach frightened the hlghwayman who stepped away ln the darkness at which Collier set out at a 2;o5 glltlfor home.
 Mr. Collier said that just before be was held up he heard a low whistle ln front of him and at the same time a man stepped up behind him and quietly but firmly asked lf he had any money.
 The matter Is ln the hands of the authorities and something Is liable to drop today.
