CLUBS AND CHARITIES

The New York Federation of Women S
Clubs is going to establish a trade school
for those girls who by environment are
debarred from moral. intellectual and in
dustrial training. Already several thou
sand dollars have been accumulated for
the project and since many of the clubs
are taxed to their utmost in sustaining
their individual obligations, the fedora
ton has asked anyone who is in sym
pathy with the movement to contribute.
It is expected that in a few years the de-
mand for trade schools will be as great as
the demand for public libraries.
One Wornan's Club Day at the Chautau-
qua at Des Motnes, the women from that
city turned out in great numbers to at
tend the reception given in the rest tent
for Mrs. Alice G. Fletcher of Marshall,
president Of the state federation. The
reception, which was entirely in
formal, was largely attended The
officers Of the local federation
received with Mrs. Fletcher. Fol
lowing the reception, Mrs. Fletcher gave
an address in the main auditorium on the
federation, in which she told what it has
already accomplished and what still re
mains for it to do, especially in library
work and in mitigating the evil of chile
labor in Iowa.

ENTERTAINMENTS. s.
Hyperion 'cheater.

Denman Thompson and his famous New England drama, '"rhe Old Home stead" is again with us. The ever welcome, whole-souled, doWn-east far mer, is again upon his annual visit to this city, making, as usual, his head quarters at the Hyperion on Monday night, October 19. There is little new that can be said of this homespun drama, its lines, situations and cli- 1naxes being as familiar as the stories of our childhood. Cy Prime, Aunt Ma tilda, Seth Perkins and Uncle Josh are old friends, and as such we are pleased again to greet them.
 Few, if any productions have the many qualities of the "0ld Home stead" The simplicity and honesty of it all, it's truthful and moral teachings, it's quaint characters, none overdrawn but as truthful and natural as life, all add greatly toward making it the brightest and most brilliant star in the theatrical Armament.
 Seat sale now open. Prices, $1, 75, 50 and 25 cents. The advance sale has been large.

Grand Opera House.

The successful comedy drama, "The Ministers, Daughters which will be presented at the Grand opera house to- night and Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with Wednesday matinee, is one of the best comedy dramas now tour ing, and has met with exceptional praise all this season. 1t is full of really good comedy, intense heart in terest, and has an abundance of start ling and thrilling situations. The story treats of the adventures of two coun- try girls, one blind, daughters of a widow of country clergyman, who, being compelled to aid their mother in saving their little country home, have accepted positions in New York to earn their livelihood and assist their Wid- owed mother in paying the interest on the mortgage of their little home. The many dangers and pitfalls to which the young and innocent wage-seekers are subjected are carefully drawn. Of course in the end virtue triumphs and all ends we'll. The featured scene of the play is the burning of the Old let low Oil Refinery. This is said to be one of the best sensational effects known to the stage
 The management of the Grand opera. house take great pleasure in announc- ing the appearance of Mittenthal, For rester & SeIwyn's production of Hal Reids successful melodrama, "A Work ing Girls Wrongs fresh from it's run at the Academy of Music, New York city, for one night and one matinee Thursday October 22. The story of this strong play has been widely read and the play should be unusually inter- esting.. The scenic production will be a fine one, among the most noteworthy scenes being the interior of a large cigarette factory, Broadway at it's junction with Forty-second street, and the interior of state prison. The company is said to be capable and well balanced.
 Harry Leighton, one of the best known actors of the legitimate and TO- mantle drama, recent star for the F'roh- man success, "The Prisoner of Zenda, ,'' etc, and Miss Florence Gale, a. charm ing and forceful delineator of Shakes peare heroines will be presented in this city on Friday and Saturday of this week, with Saturday matinee, at the Grand opera house, in sumptuous re- vival of that melodramatic masterpiece, "Othello." The production will outrival anything of recent years and as it is under direction of Ernest Shipman of the New York theater, 1t is safe to as- sume that it will be of the highest pos- sible calibre.
