THEATRICAL.
Feature Of Dixie Programme.

The patrons Of the Dixie cannot fail
to he pleased with this weeks bill. One
of the features Is the sketch of keougi
& Ballard, who present a sketch which
opens In n handsome drawing room,
whore a young stage-struck matron Is
beginning instruction In elocuton. Mr..
keough assumes the character of the elo-
cution professor and Miss Ballard that
of the stage-struck lady.
The two decide to rehearse the proposal
scene from "Ingomar" between Polydor,
the miser, and Parthenia. There Is a
transformation from the drawing room TO
a scene In ancient Greece. Mr.. Keough
shows much talent in dramatic work in
his impersonation of Polydor. Miss Bal
lard is decidedly pretty and enacts the
bit from the character of Parthenia. very
cleverly. The scene again changes from
ancient Greece back to the drawing
room, and the duo do a speciality Of
dancing which marks them as very ver-
satile artists. This is only one feature
of the bill. The Elks will visit the Dixie
tonight.

SHORTER HOURS OF LABOR.
Rhode Island Supreme Court Hands
Down Important Opinion.

From Gunton's Magazine.
The Supreme court Of Rhode Island
has recently handed down most sig
| nificant decision on the constitutionality
of ten hour law, which will be far
reaching in it's effect.
1t has been a part of the tendency of
civilization to shorten the working day,
sometimes by mutual arrangement
through the influence Of trade unions,
sometimes by legislation. With one or
two exceptions thus far the legislation
has been limited in its application to
women and children. This line was
drawn on the theory that the children
are minors, and women are wards of
the state, not being citizens and having
no voting rights.
The legislature of Rhode Island
passed a law restricting the working
hours of employees of street railway cor
porations to ten per day, and making
any contract to the contrary illegal.
The Supreme court has just decided
that this law is constitutional on the
ground that 1t is for the public good,
and in this opinion the court had only
one dissenting vote. The majority de-
clared that "the public safety cannot
be made dependent on private con-
tracts" In other words. that workmen
shall be protected against being COM
PEELED by mere necessity to make con-
tracts which endanger public safety.
The plea that laborers desire to make
a contract to work twelve and fourteen
hours a day is sophistry; ii never was
true in practice. They make a contract
to work twelve hours because they are
not permitted to make a contract to
work less. This law is not an infringe
ment on the laborer's right to make
contract of twelve or fourteen hours,
but is simply a protection to his right
to make Il contract to work ten.

THE MARKETS.


New York, Nov. 1S--The most note
worthy feature of todays market was the
steady and persistent, although moderat te
| liquidation. Operations were again COM
paratively small and professional through
out, such Improvement as was shown at
times being due chiefly to covering by the
short interest. Opening prices were ir-
regular and rather under the London
level Manhatta was the conspicuous
feature of tho entire day, opening with q
gain and selling to the extent of $4,000
shares. with q net gain of 2ss points. The
movement in this stock still lacks expla-
nation. Other features of the early trad
ing were Erie, United States Steel issues
and Colorado Fuel, all of which showed
Improvement On the other hand Read
ing, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and
st. Paul were heavy, though not to a
marked degree. The professional ele-
ment took the short side all through the
early session In spite of the steadiness of
Sugar and Manhattan. The demand for
Sugar shares appeared to come from in
hders. Louisville and Nashville was
steady. presumably as n result Of the
ratification of the Atlantic Coast deal.
Prices held barely steady in the early af-
ternoon, though renewed pressure was
brought to bear against ST. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville lost all of its
early gain. Rock Island also fell off and
Reading, which was freely offered, sold
a point lower than the previous days
closing quotation. The steadness of Sugar
was partly attributed to the advance in
the refined products. but that stock closed
without change. A reactionary tendency
was manifested by Colorado Fuel and
Iron and the steel stocks, American
Smelling, Amalgamated Copper, appeared
to have some support. Later st. Paul
rallied trihe as did also Reading. while
Manhattan sold at the highest point or
the day and the top figure reached in
long time. The coming dividend in Sugar
was offered at ~ per cent. which sug-
gested the possibility of q reduction in
the dividend from to per cent In the
final hour the list reflected renewed SELL
Ing, which though moderate. was again
persistent and scattering. This movement
carried prices down practically all
through the list with the exception of
Manhattan, which retained the greater
part of it's advance. There was an ut
ter absence of commission business. Lon
don bought and sold equally to the ex-
tent of 10000 shares. all of an arbitrage
character and the closing was decidedly
weak. Total sales, 637,9O0 shares. Rail-
road bonds showed lleaviness throughout
the day but declines in the active issues
were small. Total sales. par value. ST.
100000. United States bonds were all un-
changed OIL the last call.

NUTRITION DURING SICKNESS.

From the International Monthly.

self. rather than a lessened supply Of
food. that caused the reduction Of
flesh" says Professor Van NOorden.
80 long as this view prevailed, less
weight was laid upon the quantity and
caloric value of the food which the sick
ate They sought to obviate the harm
full influence of the disease upon the
nOurshlng of the body by prescribing
certain dishes and forbidding others.
Important as right selection of dishes
may be, yet. lacking the safe guidance
of the theory of metabolism. they wan-
dered off into all sorts OF strange va
garies and useless nicetieS Mere side
issues were regarded as of primary inn
portance, and this prejudice has not
died out to this day. Not until it was
realized how much the loss of flesh on
the part OF the invalid depended ON in
sufficient nourishment, did dietetic
therapy venture to meet the undesirable
loss of weight by using every means
to increase the supply of food. Keep
ing this aim in view, one will naturally
be guided In the choice of dishes and
the hours of eating, etc, by the nature
of the disease, and not less by the in
dividuality of the patient. 1t is cer-
tainly wonderful what remarkable sue
cesses have been attained by it, and
under what difficult circumstances the
patient has been guarded from loss OF
weight, and the period of convalescence
shortened. For instance, formerly, pa
tients with typhoid fever, or with SER
ious septic Infection usually lost 25 to
80 per cent. of their weight BY the
present methods of nutrition, the loss
of weight is only small percentage;
l have, indeed, treated several typhoid
fever patients who, during the period
of fever, actually gained few pounds,
due TO the careful selection of the ra-
ton"

A Trying Situation.

Robert Edeson, now the successful star
of SOLDIERS of Fortune" which will be
presented at the Lyceum tonight, made
his first appearance with Charles Froh-
mans forces in Chicago during the
Worlds Fair. He had been sent there to
replace Cyril Scott in 1.-THE Girl l Left
Behind Me-" Shortly after his arrival,
Thomas Oberle. who was playing the
Irish sergeant, was summoned to New
York city because of the dangerous ill
ness of his brother. The stage manager
asked MIR. Edeson If lie would jump in
and help him out of hole.
1t was only Il bit, and Edeson readily
consented. Lines, businessmen dialect
were easily acquired. but the costume
proved to be an almost unsurmountable
difficulty Obcrle was thin-not to say
attenuated-whle Edeson. who was then
more "stockily built' than now. He
struggled into them, and aside from the
fact that he was altogether too trig and
too natty for comfort, everything pro-
gressed satisfactorily until the third act.
where he was supposed to carry the
dying Indian girl, played by Katherine
Florence, from the stage.
Edeson is particularly proud of his ath-
letic prowess. and when the stage mana
ger asked him If he were equal to the
task of lifting Miss Florence, he replied:
"Easyfd like to do it with one hand.'
When the moment arrived, Frank Nor
daunt, who was playing the general. eX-
claimed: "My God--shc's dead" then,
turning to Edcson, said, "Lift her up

bend over gracefully. He was held as
though in a vice. lie attempted to kneel
on one knee, trying first one and then the
other, but the trousers were made Of
material hardly more plialole than an oak
board. The auditors began to litter. and.

with his feet, SO that by raising her a
little he might clutch at her garments.

the result that Miss Florence's head and
heels came suddenly together doubling
her up like a jack-knife Mordaunt,
