BREMEN CONGRESS

Berlin, April 21-Mrs. Mary H.
Hunt of Boston, representing the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union at
the International Anti-Alcohol Con-
gress at Bremen, has made the follow
ing report:
THE International Anti-Alcohol Con-
gress that meets biennially on the con-
tinent. is closing its ninth session to-
day. 1t has been, in the matter OF at
tendance and well known persons pres
ent, the most remarkable of any ses-
sion of the Congress. This body of
400 delegates, notable in science and
humanity as university professors, or
for their hereditary rank, have come
from fifteen different nations in the
two hemispheres.
Two schools of thought were repre-
sented: the moderates. who called
themselves the temperate school, and
the total abstainers, who are called the
abstinence school, BY common con-
sent the congress passed no resolutions.
but the applause for the testimony of
science and experience on behalf OF to-
tai abstinence showed the moderates to
be in the minority.
"The statement of DR.. August Forell.
one of the foremost authorities in the
world on brain and nerve diseases, that
neither science nor experience fur
nishes evidence to justify calling alco-
hol a food, called out prolonged accla-
nations. The papers read by notable
members of the congress during these
six days will fill two or three volumes
and soon will be printed for wide dis
tribution.
THE paper on Alcohol and Art by
Professor Berens. director of the Ger
man School OF Art at Dusseldorf. was
a classic. He said that alcohol, by dull
ing the spiritual aspirations essential
to the greatest work. is an enemy OF
the highest attainment in art.
"A paper on ''The Scientific Temper
ance Education in the Public Schools
Of the United States by an American
representative (Mrs. Hunt led to dis
cussion in which twenty speakers took
part. and nearly every one of them
commended the extension of the Ameri-
can method for the prevention of in
temperance"
In compliment to the United States.
Mrs. Hunt presided at Saturdays ses-
sion OF the congress.

MANUFACTURERS PLATFORM
ADOPTED AT NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, April 1S.-The dele
gates to the convention of the Associa-
tion of Manufacturers devoted practi-
cally all of their time of both sessions
Thursday to the discussion of the
labor question. There was much diff
ference of opinion as to the nature OF
the attitude which the organization
should take toward trades unionism
and the debate was at times heated,
but when the adoption of a declara-
ton of principles was finally reached,
the resolution embodying it was ac-
cepted by unanimous vote. The res
olutions, which President Parry char
acterized as "the platform of the asso-
ciation," are as follows:
we, the members of the National
Association of Manufacturers, United
States Of America, in convention as
sembled at New Orleans, do hereby
declare the principles which shall gov
ern this convention in it's work in con-
nection with the problems of labor:
"First-Fair dealing is the funda-
mental and basic principle on which
relations between employees and en-
ployers should rest.
"Second-The National Association
of Manufacturers is not opposed to or
ganizations of labor as such, but it is
unalterably opposed to boycotts, black
lists and other illegal acts of interfer-
ence with the personal liberty of en-
ployer and employe.
"Third-No person should be re-
fused employment or in any way dis
criminated against on account of mem
bership or non-membership in any la
Dor organization, and there should be
no discrimination against or interfer-

ranges, but that the latter have re-
peatedly violated the agreements and
have permitted their sheep to cross the
boundary lines and in many instances
eat off the grass in sight of the ranches
of the cattlemen. The latter have re-
sorted to force frequently. and the
murder of several herders and the
slaughter of thousands of sheep has
resulted.
Last fall the fiocks of Leonard Sedg-
wick. the Cheyenne boy who made a
fortune in the Klondike, were at
tackled near New Fork and over 1000
were slaughtered. the camp wagon and
supplies were burned and the Mexican
herder murdered. Mounted men wear
ing masks over their faces did the
work, and although weak effort was
made by the authorities to learn the
names of the raiders. nothing ever
came of the matter. The raid had the
desired result, so far as the cattlemen
were concerned. however, for reports
from the New Fork country say that no
sheep have crossed the dead line since
then.
The scene of the impending trouble
is south and east of the New Fork
country, which is due west of Lander.

MRS. Fishes "MAGDALA" AGAIN.
Actress warmly Greeted on Her Return
to the Manhattan Theatre.

Mrs. Fiske returned to the Manhattan
Theatre last evening with Mary Of Mag
DALAI" supported by the same company
who aided her to make the Heyse-Winter
drama great popular success last season,
with the exception Of the impersonators OF
Judas Of Il erioth and OF A ulus Fldrius.
The theatre was we'll filed and the size
Of the audience in all parts of the house
on a hot and uncomfortable September
night, gave gratifying promise that Mrs
Fiske and her supporters are likely to ex-
ercise as strong an attraction during the
three weeks OF the present run AZ they
did last season.
1t was the task Of Mr.. Charles Kent as
Judds to live up to the presentation Of
the character given by man whom Mr.
and Mrs. Fiske had declared to be the
greatest Jndds extant Mr.. Kent essayed
It undaunted,
Consciously, or with the involuntary
ambition of subconscious self, he strove to
leave no depth untouched In the meanness
and the passion OF his almost melodramattc
part. The audience applauded him gem
erously, when they were not compelled
by fascination OF the actor--or the theme
to silence.
To say that Mr. Kent, with not unfamiliar
mannerisms none too we'll concealed, en-
thralled his auditors were too much; he
satisfied them without excitement.
Mr.. Hobart Bosworth, the new Fldrius,
won the generous appreciation Of the audi
erce in q higher degree in his difficult role
of the hearty young Roman, than any sub
ordinate among Mrs. Fiske's associates.

day that mine No. would be in operation
to-day Not a miner, union or non-union

Mr.. Gordon couldn't get miners Of any
kind. No overtures for settlement were
made by either side, and the miners con-
tinued the exodus from 1hurber. Fully
three-fourths Of the population had de-
parted by tonight.
The rolls show that ESQ miners have
joined the union since Monday last. The
clerks in the coal companys stores and
offices were organized into union Of the
Federation of Labor, this afternoon.
Moving day" scenes from Thurber were
unique. Fully one hundred wagons drawn
by oxen, mules, donkeys or horses streamed
out from the deserted town, carrying
all sorts Of things toward the nearby inde-
pendent mines at Lyra, Strawn and Mineral
City. More than 500 of the miners have
gone to these places. Nearly as many
more have started for Arkansas, Indian
Territory, California or Italy.
At Fort Worth nearly 100 tickets were
sold to Italian miners returning to Italy,
going by rail to New York. Forty-tive
purchased tickets for California.
When the strike started Mr.. Gordon de-
clared he would see grass grow over Thur
Der before he would submit to the demand

A literary secret that had provoked much

BLANCHE RING IN A NEW PLAY.
But "The Jersey Lily" WeuDd he DUN Even
with q Cleverer Woman.


Blanche Ring seems to be unfortunate
in selecting play In which to make her
stellar debut She began the autumn
season last night at the Victoria Theatre
under George Lederers management, IN
a new musical comedy called "The Jersey
Lily George " Hobart wrote the book
and Reginald De Koven the music.
Like most musical comedies, this starts
out with plot. But ten minutes after the
curtain rises the plot is lost. 'The jersey
Lily" is bad fit for Miss Ring and would
have been for clevsrer woman.
There are two acts. The first is laid
in village on the Isle OF Jersey. LIidndro,
or the Jersey Lily blanche Ring, was
born there. She becomes an actress. and
when she pays visit to her birthplace she
throws the place into turmoil
The Mayor, who is also the horse doctor.
falls in love with her and comes In violent
contact with South American diplomat
Iouis Harrison), who lie engaged to marry
her. The Mayor-veterinary already has
matrimonial agreement ON his hands, but
he finally gives up the woman he was TO
marry and allows her to become the wife
of the man Of her choice.
The first act is dull. The only redeeming
feature in it was the acting OF Maude Ray
mond. She Is the German housekeeper
at the village hotel She is funny and her
song, -The New Cook" was worth hearing.
Then her recipe for an Irish stew Is q good
cure for the blues.
The second act takes place behind the
scenes and in front Of the Frivolty Theatre
Show girls and chorus girls are on view
constantly. The jersey Lily il the star
at the Frvolity and she squabbles with
the mana cement just like the real article.
In this act Miss Ring sang song called
"Bidelia." 1t has rollcking chorus but
neither MIR. Hobart nor Mr.. DE Koven was
responsible for it. Two other men wrote
the words and music.

CHARLES WARNER IN "DRINK."
The English Actors First Appearance at
the Academy OF Music.

Charles Warner, the English actor, who
has PLAYED CouPe1u i'll Drink more than
5000 times in London, made his first APP
pearance before New York audience at
the Academy OF Music last night, The
weather and the fact that the play has
no less than six acts did much to make it
deserve its title.
Charles Reatie, who made the play from
Zola's AZ Asscmmoir, spared no pains to
make the temperance lesson obvious, and
Zola's realism is now and then broken in
on to introduce little pure sermonlzlns.
But that the audience didn't r,ind. They
were there to see Mr.. Warner and they
we're not disappointed The polite APP
pla,lse which welcomed him to America
soon became q sincere appreciation OF
some very excellent acting.
He won his hearers from the start with
his CHEEKY good nature as the weak-minded
workingman. Coupeuu, as Mr.. Warner
plays him, is English in his accent and his
WAYS, but he is attractive in his stupidity
and his weakness.
In the drunken scene in the third act,
Mr.. Warner first showed his first real al iiiy.
His Sudden changes from good nature to
