CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY.

Not the men who make our laws
Working long In country's cause.
Not tho busy 1nanciers
Jobbing stocks for bulls and bears.
Not producers who can feed
Nations with their growth in need.
Not the laborer whose toll
Wrings lruition from the soil.
No, 'tIs living women bs
Captains all Of industry.
All day long they give and give,
Helping weaker sister live.
Up at sunrise mothering meD,
Children, hrlpers, idiers, then
Moving mountains from their way,
Busy, cheerful housewives they.
Never do those captains stop
I'LL their flags at half-mast drop.

Hall, so called from its London pro-

activities there was religiously observ-
ed weekly form of social amenlty
known as Denbeigh Halls at home.
On this occasion there fell to each resi-
dent in turn the lot of providing some
definite form of entertainment for the
"neighborhood," whose members filed
in, shetpishly receptive to those pro-
cesses they were about to endure at
the hands of these fervent if untutored
acolytes of the new democracy. TINS

and that worthy young woman had

- "And this Mr. Trent" gu, STONED
Mrs. Meredith with the air Of one COM
pletely dazed, as indeed the good lady
was by this. latest development in
Dleanor's altruistic career. "Who is
he? You call him a worker, believe.
But that conveys nothing to my mind.
Has he any family!. Where is his
homer"
Eleanor shook her head in a manner
distractingly vague. Really. Auntie, I
don't know" she finally remarked. "It
has never occurred to me, do you
know, to ask him. We have had so
many more vital topics to discuss that
family trees would have been rather
dead issue"
Mrs. Meredith looked genuine amaze
ment and despair. "My dear child" she
exclaimed, "this is a dreadful state. of
things. Meeting persons who live in
tenements is bad enough, but going to-
bohemian gatherings with nondescript
young men is impossible. To work
among the poor with people of no So
cial position is sometimes, know, un-
avoidable; but to recognize them in
any other way seems to me fatal"
What reply Eleanor might have
made was happily averted by the
ringing Of a bell. Here's Mr.. Trent,
now, Auntie," she exclaimed. "Oh, no,
of course you must stay" as that lady
prepared to beat an offended retreat.
"It would never do for me to receive

And Mrs. Meredith, speechless be-

awaited the next move of the game.

deferentially to meet her, her anger
was converted into terms Of unmiti-
gated amazement and delight.

partments. =
Although the mayor signed the re-
quest from the board of aldermen, yes
terday, that the finance board appro-
pirate $1,000 for public bath house in
the Twelfth ward, it was not presented
to the board of finance at their meeting
last evening and nothing was said
about it.
A vote was passed to the effect that
the controller be authorized to pay from
the contingent and sundry accounts the
bill Of expense of Patrick A. Hanrahan,
amounting to $24, for services as janitor
and Waterman at the new public bath
house, as presented by the director of
public works.
1t was also voted that the department
Of public parks be authorized to draw
upon the contingent in sundry accounts,
not exceeding $500, for repairing the
damages which was done to the sea
wall at Fort Hale Park during the re-
cent storm. This amount is a great
deal less than was asked for but it Is
thought that 1t will be sufficient, in CON-
junction to the money which the park
commissioners have set aside for this
purpose, to strengthen the wall for the
winter storms.
The mayor announced his appoint
ments to the various subcommittee
from the board OF finance. who will
make a personal investigation as to
the financial needs of the various city
departments for next year. 1t is
thought by this plan to make it much
easier for the board to take united ac-
ton when the estimates are submitted
to them. The mayor gave the members
a chance to decide as to what commit
tee they wished to serve On. His APP
pointments were as follows:

by an interesting address by Rev. F. e.
Clark, d. D., founder of the Christian
Endeavor. who spoke of the heroism
shown by the missionaries and their
converts in China during the Boxer up

exhortation to the members of the En-

face Of moral danger and not physical
danger as the missionaries experienced.

of prayer led by R. w. Roundy.

Grand Opera House.

THE King Of Detectives is, as might
be suspected from the title, a thrilling
melodrarna, and as presented at the
Grand Opera house last night by
most capable and splendid company
stirred the large audience to the height
of enthusiasm and they evidenced their
appreciation by thunderous applause.
The piece abounds in strong situations,
stirring scenes and rousing climaxes,
which kept the audience last night In a
hubbub of excitement.
The piece presents an opportunity for
the principal character, ''The King of
Detectives" in the person of ]. Irving
White, an actor of much ability, to ap-
pear at most opportune times and as
sist In the rescue Of those who are tor
mented by the bitterest of enemies. He
was ably assisted by a company excel
lent in every particular, among the cast
being Miss Alma Chester, who as Olga
Humphreys, woman with past, does
some remarkably clever work. Other
members of the company are good,
among them being Charles Robinson
and Virginia Thornton.
There will be another performance to-
night and tomorrow night, with mat
inee tomorrow. H..
'Tess of the D'Urbervilles" will be
presented at the Grand opera house
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday next
week, with matinee wednesday.
There is not a theatrical company on
tour in this country at present that has
had to submit to more rigid rehearsing
and preparation than the one support
lug Miss Carline Rohr in Tess of the
D'Urbervilles,' which was dramatized
from Thomas Hardy's novel by the late
Lorrimer Stoddard, the publishing and
acting rights Of which are owned by
Messrs. Harper Bros, and Harrison
Grey Fiske, owner of the Manhattan
theater, New York. ~. -.
Before the above named gentlemen
would consent to'a production of "Tess'
by Miss Rohrs manager, Frank Burt,
they drew up a contract with numerous
restrictions, the most prominent being
the selecting Of cast to play the va
rious roles by Harrison Grey Fiske. The
restriction was also placed in the con-
GTdCp, lie Sloulu nave pcfSoIidl QlTSCClOl
of all rehearsals. Through this ar
rangement the owners of the play guar
antee the attractions, as well as en-
nance the value of their property and
keep the play at its acknowledged high
standard
So far the criticisms of both star and
company have been most laudatory, a
fact which MAINLY shows the work of a.
master hand as director.
