MRS. PATRICK CAMPBELL JARS
CHICAGO SOCIETY.

From the Chicago Journal: Mrs.
Patrick Campbell, if one may judge
from what one hears, and the gener-
al acidity of tone with which the Eng
lish actress name is pronounced by
those in high life, left n trail of dis
located noses in her wake, if one may
be permitted to use so homely a
term. She seems to have rubbed a
great many of the leaders" the
wrong way. ana to have rubbed them
hard. 1t is said she openly criticized
the guests at one function, where
she was the guest of honor, and that
her criticism was repeated to the OBJ
iects thereof, causing Indignation not
only among the said objects, but
among their friends. BE this as it
may the society hammer is out in
large numbers.
Little digs were exchanged even be-
tween the actress and those who met
her. For example, at the luncheon
given for Mrs. Campbell. the father
asked the guests freely to criticise
her actions. Nothing but compli-
ments were in order until Mrs. Camp
bell said:
II do so dislike to'play Beyond HUI
man Power The first act is so dis
agreeable. l have to chalk my face
and tousle my hair and wear n
night gown, and it makes me look so
unattractive and old l look at least

There was an exchange of glances
among the guests, many of whom
were rs or older and one handsome
dame spoke up and said: ooh. l
wouldn't mind that If / were yor.
don't think you look day older in
that act than you do in your ordin-
airy clothes"
A hush is said TO have followed this
remark.
1T was at this same luncheon that
Mrs. Campbell herself turned critic,
according to report, and frankly gave

The most important employment of
the magnet in the mechanical indus
tries is in lifting and handling such
masses of metal as ship plates. boiler
plates and parts of machines which il
would otherwise be difficult to get hold
of. 1t effects an average economy in
time and cost of handling, stacking,
loading and unloading of from 30 TO -
per cent.
To meet the possible danger that
from any cause the current from the
dynamo might be cut of. causing the
magnet to drop its load, IL is usual in
well appointed plants to install Il stor
age battery. which effectually guards
against such accident. In handling
billets and material OF convenient
shape a number of pieces may be pick
ed up at one time. The same is true
of thin plates.
The type of magnets used in most
American works has a lifting capac-
ity of five tons. 1t makes stranger
nervous, to see them at work. and he
generally does not need to be reminded
that unless his life is insured at it's
full value he would do well to stand
from under. But sings and chains
break under loads quite as often as
magnets drop their loads by accident
and in wrong places. - New York

her hpinion of each one of the guests.
Being told that certain woman
that is noted for her beauty the
country over, was one of the leaders
of the smart inner circles of Amer
ica's best people, Mrs. Campbell is
said 10 have admired her. but remark
ed that she had too old a face. Nat
urally when the comment reached
the ears of the owner of the face.
the latter was greatly incensed. Par
ticularly as she was an acknowledge
ed beauty.
\ matter that has caused discus
sion and division of opinion among
the elect, is the fact that Mrs. Potter
Palmer did not occupy a place at the
hostess own table at the supper Civ
en- by Mrs. Campbell. While a few
look upon this as a slight toward the
leader of Chicago's 400, others say
that inasmuch as she was seated as
presiding matron at the table next to
the hostess, the honor was greater
one than if she had been asked To sit
with the hostess herself.
Those who take the position that
Mrs. Palmer was sighted declare:
But Mrs. Jack Gardner was the
guest of honor. Is not Mrs Palmer
greater than Mrs. Gardner? Mrs.
Campbell's supper was the first pure
~ social function ever held in Ghica-
go. with Mrs. Palmer present, at
which she was not the guest of hon

In the meantime Mrs. Palmer is
quite serene, and not troubling her

her position.

PAY ASKED
Trainmen of Rock Island and

RESPONSIBILITIES HAVE INCREASED
c., H. * II. Defendant in a Suit for

ages.

Two committees of the Order of
Railway Conductors and two of the
brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen
are in session in Chicago. They rep
resent employees of the Chicago. Rock
Island d, Pacific and the Chicago 4
Northwestern railways. In addition
to these employees those of eight or
uine other roads are holding meet
ings ut different points in the coun-
try The object is to bring about "a
general advance in the wages of
frainmen throughout the country.
There is feeling among the men
that their pay schedules are out of
date, having been in force in most
cases without change for several
years. whereas the duties and re-
of the trainmen, it is
claimed. have increased about GO per
cent.
Their earning power for the com
panies. they say. has correspondingly
increased by greater capacity of cars
and size of engines, making trains
longer and harder to handle. The in
crease of work is claimed to be more
for conductors than other trainmen.

men.
4 member of the Order of Railway
which is in session at the
Briggs house. said:
at must he granted by all that any
institution or organization that en-
pldS-s n large number of men is better
served by them when they are con-
tented than when they are discon-
tented. and il is admitted by railway
officials that the trainmen are more
easily satisfied than any other class
of Union labor.
'This is especially true of the Order
OF Railway Conductors. The rail
roads have had several years of un-
usual prosperity, but the trainmen
have received no share of il. There
is no good reason why their wages
should not be made commensurate
with their increased work and re-
sponsibility."
