ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan thea'ter some Of
the best plays ever shown in Duluth
are being produced these days and ev-
cry one at popular prices. At this
popular house there is no such things
as a sudden raising of prices ON shows
of the better quality to heights out of
reach of most people, but all of the
shows are at the same prices no MATES"
how costly they are to the manage
.ment, and very few shows are produced
that do not need extra scenery, and
which do not incur other extraordinary
expenses to put on properly. Nowhere
are plays put on in better shape than
at the Metropolitan and those that. see
them are continually praising them.
During the last half of this week, that
noted western play THE Danites", is
being produced. The play is a story
of California during the days of the
great rush for gold in 1849 and is All
interesting character comedy. Next
week, the first half will be taken up
with a presentation Of Roanoke one
Of those Southern plays that have so
charmed the people of the North that
they never tire of seeing them. 'Ro-
anoke' is one of the prettiest of this
class of plays. Its scenes ere laid in
Virginia and it's plot is pleasing. The
latter half of the week "a Circus Grip
will be presented. This is a roaringly
successful farce comedy, one of those
which produce laugh per second.

CAPTAIN FAY WINS "
OUT IN VIRGINIA
Grand Old Man Of the Mesabe Range Is Honoed at Home
Is True Democrat. mills Campaign for Congress
His True Character Shown to the People. Virginia
- Is Assured of Good Business Administration

The many Duluth friends of Captain
Marcus l.. Fay were pleased to learn
of his success in Virginia last Tues
day when he was elected mayor Of that
enterprising little city, Virginia is ore
of the most metropolitan appearing
cities on the Mesaba range. Its. bust
ness houses compare faVorably with
those Of some. very large cities. It's
hotel accommodations are the - very
best, and the people seem to- think
that a metropolitan mayor. is just the
thing for SUCH a typical: city. Hence;
at the election of this week they elect
ed one Of the best known men in Min
nesota to the high office of Mayor Of
Virginia. The Labor World desires to
congratulate. the people of Virginia
upon their: wisdom. 1t perhaps is not
necessary for a Duluth paper to tell
the people Of Virginia and the neigh
bors of Captain, Fay what kind of a
man they have in him, They know
him better than we do.

George M. Davis, formerly president
Of the Trades Assembly returned yes
terday from a three months absence
in Dakota. He enjoyed a successful
trip. On his return home, and while
nearing Duluth his train was wrecked.
1t was on the train spoken of in the
daily papers where John Grimes, the
prominent member of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers performed Il
deed Of heroism that was the topic of
discussion on the city street during
the week. Mr.. Davis says that it was
a wonder that every body on the train
was not killed. In telling of the trip
he said:
1.-The train was clipping off the miles
at the rate of fifty an hour, when a
short distance east of Carlton the con-
Meeting rod on the fireman's side let
go, and a few seconds later that on
the engineers gave way. They smash
ed the cab on both sides, broke a
steam pipe, and in an instant the en-
gineer and his fireman, T. II. Farm
iloe, were enve1oped in scalding steam
The fireman was able to get back and
save himself to some extent, but En-
gineer Grimes realized that it was his
| duty to bring the train to a stop as
quickly as possible. Almost inlmedi-
atley after the rods broke the drivers
left the track and sped along over the
ties for a distance of 5000 feet before
| the train was at a standstill, passing
over a bridge 100 feet long and 20 feet
high. Blinded and scalded by the hot
steam, Grimes worked with no appar-
emit thought Of his own sufferings and
ultimate safety, and at last gained
mastery over his engine, but it, toe
had become derafled.'
! The train was in charge of Conductor
c.. H. Farmer, Of 80 East Third street
Engineer Grimes resides at 1921 Pied
mont avenue. He is seriously but not
dangerously burned. Fireman Farm
Hoe was also burned by the steam
somewhat.
| The. train was due in Duluth at
a. M, but did not arrive as a result
of the accident, until II: 80 a. m. The
passengers who arrived ON the trair
fwere much impressed by the Drawer,
of Engineer Grimes, and said that NJ

replied by saying: 1.-THE very nice
things your paper has said of me
certainly calls for grateful acknowI-
edgement. I believe in the organiza-
ton of labor. In the warfare of ma
tons many and tremendous outrages
are committed. In the warfare of labor
versus capital the same is also true.
When We think of the cold, calculating
selfishness of some men, I often wonder
how labor has been able to control it.
self for SO long. It deserves consider
able credit for it's growing conservative
policy in the face of so many years Of
abuse and illtreatment.
It is true tina. in some instances I'M
ionists have broken away from wise
leadership, and because of this have
forfeited the sympathy of the public
on account of irresponsible actions I
think that this has been labor's great
est handicap, but nevertheless the pro-
gress of organized labor has been
wonderful. In the business, Of labor's
cause as expressed and voiced by such

MAKE CLOTHES FROM YOUR OLD
HATS.

Three firms in New York City
gather in all the old hats they can
get from all parts Of the country. III
the lofts are thousands upon thou
sands of old hats of every size, shape,
and description; hats that have been
worn by men, women. and children i'll
evry part Of this country. The trade
in old hats, actually has a quotation
in the wool market of usually cents
a pound but the price goes up when
the supply runs short. The collectors
do not stop to sort or strip the old
hats of their frames or Innings. The
New York firm must buy old hats as
they are. and have the trimming done
after the purchase has been taken Off
the scales.
The old hats are put into steam
presses Of tremendous power, and
packed into bales of 300 pounds, each,
and from that up to 500 or even 1000
pounds. 1t is too expensive to ship
them to market by rail, SO the Vests
old hats are sent by river to New Or
leans, and from there up the coast by
steamers or sailing vessels. 1t costs 2
cents pound to get the goods to New
York from San Francisco, and 1 cent
from Chicago.
When the hats reach New York the
bales are cut, and gang of women
put at work sorting out the different
kinds of material and casting aside
the, frames. What is left of the old
hats is again put. into a press, and
packed in bales Of 500 or 900 pounds,
much tighter, and in far superior
fashion than the bales received from
the West. When the bales from far
off cities reach New York they: are
bound with. cord SO loosely that one
might cut them asunder with a pocket
knife. When sent away from New
York to- the eastern shoddy mills, pa
per mills or wherever else ! market
can z be found, they are bound with
