The olio Is the strongest part of the per-
Torrance given at the Empire this week by
Harry Bryant's Burlesquers. Darmody,
who juggles Indian clubs and a gun, opens,
and his work is meritorious in every feature.
The only thing that mars his turn, in fact,
is his makeup. He dons the costume and
mannerisms of a 'rube," while a clean-cut,
clever act like his should be digniied and
free from burlesque features. Casmore and
Florence, German dialect comedians, were
rewarded literally with laughter and APP
plause, and that is the mark of success at
combines musical, dancing and athletic
stunts. all of which are good.
Matt Kennedy and AL Cameron, singing
comedians, make good with the gallery from
the first. K~ennedy's burlesque of a ten
twent-thirt' melodrama being especially eff
fectlve. Cameron has a good tenor voice,
but was evidently suffering from q cold yes
terday. The olio closes with the Imperial
Japanese troupe OF athletes, composed of
three men and three boys, and their work
IL the feature of the whole show. The Japs
are marvels of strength and skill and must
be seen to be appreciated. They close their
number with a slide for life on a rope
stretched from the stage TO the balcony.
The burlesQues offered have few redeem
ing features. The opening one is devoid of
rhyme, reason or humor. The closing one
Is 3. slight improvement. Bryant himself
appears in II, in his familiar hobo role, and
Fanny Everett. a familiar figure in the bur-
lesque world, heads the chorus in both bur-
lesqueS. TIN chorus is we'll drilled and at
tractiyely cOstumed.

PENSIONS FOR EMPLOYEES
FACTORY INSPECTOR M'ABEE FA-
VORS THE MOVEMENT.
Men Who Have Served Corporations
Loyalty Should be Taken Care
of. He Believes.

D.. H.. McAbee, state factory inspector
and president of the National Association
of Factory Inspectors of America, has been
ployes' Welfare and Work. to be held in
New York city Nov. is and 10 under the
auspices Of the National Civic Federation.
Mr.. McAbee does not think he will be able
70 attend, and regrets his inability to go,
as he is interested in some of the topics
to be discussed, and has views regarding
some of them. Pensions will be one of
the subjects on the programme.
II am certainly in favor of putting en-
ployes of corporations on PENSIONS said
the Inspector. 81 am told the Pennsylvania
Railroad is doing it-that after men have
served the company for a certain number
of years, honorably and faithfully, they
are placed on a pension Of half the salary
they got while on active duty. And why
not? After a man has given a corporation
the best years of his life it seems to me
the right thing that the corporation should
stick to him the remainder of his life and
see that he is taken care of. Until L made
a trip to Pennsylvania, a few weeks ago,
1 had always understood that Andrew Car
negie's pension system My pplied to
those men who had been employed by him
in conducting his steel plants. While in
Pennsylvania ! heard of two widows in a
certain town whose husbands were en-
ployed on the Pennsylvania Railroad while
Pittsburg division. Every month these
women receive $50 from Andrew Carnegie"
Other topics to be discussed at the New
York conference are Insurance and Relief
Lunchroom' and Rational Comforts in
the Workroom."

MULCTED OF THEIR PAY
LABORERs SAID To BE MISTREATED
ALONG NEW LINE OF BIG -FOUR.
Labor Commissioners Mccormack Re-
legged Injustice-State Helpless.

State officers who have studied the labor
the decision of the Supreme Court, holding
the weekly payment law unconstitutional,
was a most unfortunate thing for working
men of the State.
Something will lave to be done about this
matter by the next Legislature" said Labor
Commissioner Mccormack yesterday. He
had on his desk a pitiful appeal from Weis-
burg, which the State is helpless to answer.
There exists a most deplorable condition
of affairs, so far as labor is concerned" the
appeal read, between Sunman and Law
renceburg Junction, along the line of the Big
Four reconstruction, on the contracts of
the Improvement Company. Men are hired
by Misrepresentation and discharged appar-
emily without cause. All payments for labor
are by time checks which were. for a while,
discounted at 10 per ,cent. by surrounding
saloons. Men hired on the 10Th of September
received a time check on the 18th of October,
payable by bank check on the 18th of No
vember. l am informed that on the sub
contract of the contracting company there
has never been a cash pay day; time checks
were issued as above stated and those who
could not afford TO wait had to pay from
10 TO % per cent. discount in some saloon.
Under the present conditions when a man
is discharged or quits voluntarily. he is paid
with a time check that Is absolutely WORTH
less. Not even saloons will accept them at
any price. This leaves the laboring man
absolutely without means or recourse. A
personal investigation will satisfy you that
the conditions are not half told here"
Factory Inspector McAbee has also re-
ceived letters regarding the same matter.
The State is powerless To help these people
since there is no law requiring payment of
wages at any particular time.

SONGS OF HINDOO WIDOW
THEY WE'RE A FEATURE OF PENTE-
COST MISSIONARY SERVICE.
GIimpses of the Terrible Famine In
India Given by the Rev. Franz
G. Hottie.

One Of the most interesting missionary
services ever held in Indianapolis was given
at the Pentecost Church., 223 North New
C. Hottie. superintendent of Pentecost
Church work in Indiana, who is in the city
for a short visit before returning to the
Orient, conducted a farewell meeting. He
was assisted by his wife and two children,
Miss Iva /. Cauble of Salem, Ind, Miss
Bertha Fox. of Dina, Ont, the Rev. Will
liam McReady and Rhada, the Hindoo girl,
who accompanied Mr.. and Mrs. Hottie TO
this country.
Native costumes were worn by Rhada and
the little Hottie girl, who sang several Hin
doc chants. The Rev. Mr.. Hottie gave an
interesting account of his experiences as a
missionary in India and told of the work
that had been accomplished there by the
Pentecost missions. Mr.. Hotties name is
of photographs furnished by him during
the terrible famine in India. He covered
most of the stricken land during that
period, supervising the relief work of the
Pentecost band.
The thirteen-year-old Hindo girl Rhada
was most interesting. Her costume was
unique and her songs were mysterious and
enchanting. She is an Indian widow.
When a mere baby she was betrothed and
married by her parents to a husband many
years her senior, who persisted during the
famine She was found at the feet of an
idol in one of the Oriental temples and was
taken in charge by the Pentecost mission
aries. She is extremely bright and the mis-
~sionaries have found her a great aid in their
work in that country.
The little band will leave soon for the
East, visiting several cities on their way
to New York, whence they will sail for
Raj Nandgaon, Central province, in Deem
Der, where Rev. Hottie has charge of three
missionary stations. lie has been in India
for the past five years.

The Vaudeville Mt the Grand.

The vaudeville bill at the Grand this week
contains an abundance of pleasing features
and Will repay a visit to that popular
amusement house. The attraction that is
down Oh the bills as the 'sheadliner" of the
show Is Charles Prelle's talking dogs" but
there are a number OF other specialties that
are every bit as entertaining and meri-
toricus. The act presented by Mr.. Prelle
and his animals proves a surprise: it is not
a wonderful exhibition of trained dogs, as
one had been led 10 suppose II would be
from the advertisements of the perform
ance. but in reality a clever ventrioquiaI
speciality on Mr.. Prelle's part, with his
CANNES merely acting as his assistants. The
idea Is a new one and is well worked out.
The dogs wear clothes and masks that give
them the appearance OF dwarfed human
beings and their master carries on a
conversation with them just as the
regular ventr1lOQuist gives his pre-
tended Dialogues with wooden figures.
The disguised animals seem to be actually
talking, as the lips or their masks move in
u hIe-NAe manner. Just how Mr.. Prelle
manages this feature OF his act is some
thing or a mystery. So far as the dogs
themselves are concerned they wear their
comical costumes and masks in a way that
aids in carrying out the deIusion' but do
nothing else that Is especially remarkable.
The noteworthy entertainers on the bill.
Who present good single specialties. are
James j. Morton and Clarice Vance. Mr..
Morton. who IS down on the proeramme

Theatrical Notes.

The popular comedian, Tim Murphy, will
give one performance at English's this
evening OF his new comedy, THE Man
from Missouri" a play that was especially
written for him by George V. Hobart and
Edward e. Rose. Mr.. Murphy appears as
Jim BronchO. a Westerner, who aids q
friend in getting into Congress and then
goes to Washington to visit that friend.
The scenes of the piece are all laid in
Washington, and the story concerns the
Westerner's movements in the society of
the nations capital. Mr.. Murphy's support
Ing. company Is q large one and includes
such w~ell-known players as Dorothy Sher-
rod, Elliott Dexter, John +. Wade, Bern
hardt Niemeyer, William L. Gibson, o. j.
Griffin. Aubrey Powell. Florence Davis,
Louise Whitfield and Gertrude Dalton. The
production is understood to be very hand
somely staged.
The sale of seats for Joseph Jefferson's
engagement in RIP Van Wrinkle" to-mor-
row night at English's began yesterday
morning with a very heavy demand. Un-
doubtedly a large audience will greet the
veteran comedian in his iavorite play. 1t
1t promised that the best production OF
RIP Van Wrinkle" ever seen here will be
that of tomorrow evening. Mr.. Jefferson's
leading supporting actor this season is John
Jack, one of the best character actors on
the American stage, who is playing the
part of Derrick Won Beekman, a role that
should fit him perfectly. Miss Ffolliott
Paget, a splendid actress, is the Gretchen
of the cast Percy Plunkett is the Nick
Vedder; w. w. Jefferson, a son of the
famous actor, is the Cookies, and Joseph
Jefferson, jr, another son, is appearing as
Heinrich Vedder.
1t is said that Henry Battle and Michael
Morton, who prepared the stage version of
Tolstoi's Resurrection" in which Blanche
Walsh will be seen at English's Thursday
night, nave done their work wonderfully
well. They did not take the title and mere
ly write a drama suggested by the incidents
of the book, but made a complete stage
adaptation of the powerful novel. The
play is a strong arraignment OF certain
social conditions as old as the world. Ii
defies the theory hat there can be one law
for the woman and another for the man.
The sale of seats opens at EnsllshS Dox
office tomorrow. The engagement Is for
Thursday night only. and the performance
will be one of the greatest events of the
dramatic season here.
