GIRLS. BEWARE OF PLAYHOUSE HYsrIRA.

Hysteria of the playhouse is quite modern
.malady. The old-fashoned play-going girl was a
healthy person. who regarded the theater as i,
place of entertainment The modern girl scorns
to be amused ut the theater. She wants to probe
as deeply as possible into the mysteries Of life;
she wants to be depressed rather than charmed
to tears; she wants, in short, to experience the
historical distress of the mental dvsnant;c

THE PRINTERS UNION.
It Has Been an Inspiration to the
 Labor Movement.

It Has Been am Inspiration to the
 Labor Movement.
 John Mitchell says the Typographical union has been an inspiration to all union men, There is no question but what the printers experience of sixty years in the union labor work has been profitable to them and a benefit to other unions.
 The union printer is quick to adjust himself to new conditions. No union can lose anything by following the tao tics of the printers.
 The labor movement is more 3 ques- ton of humanity than a question of the almighty dollar. It has accom- plished more in that direction practi- cally than any other society, not even excepting the church. 1t is the great est movement in the championship of human right and human liberty.

LABOR NOTES.

International Union of Steam Engi- neers has resolved to create a defense fund of $50O0O, placed pro rata into the treasuries of the subordinate un- ions and available on orders from the parent body in eases of strikes and lockouts.
 John c. Carder, Labor Unionist. was elected mayor of Rutland, Vt, by plurality of twenty eight votes over Mayor D. W. Temple, Independent, and Henry W. Spofford, Republican. Rutland Is the place where the union machinists were indicted out of $2,5OO in damage suit for boycotting.
 The president of the International Union of Steam Engineers has been placed under salary for. the first time in the history of the organization and will receive $2,500 year, for which he devotes his entire time to the work.
 At the close of the colonial period in this country shoemakers were paid 40 cents a day. Today many skilled oper- atives can make 40 cents an hour when business is good.

AN ENORMOUS POWER.
Purchasing Capacity of Organized
 Labor Tntel1fGentIy Used.

Purchasing Capacity of Organized
 Labor TnteIligently Used.
 The general membership of trade un- ions have so far failed to fully com prehend the enormous power that is contained in their purchasing capaci- ty, a power which, if intelligently ap- piled, would soon establish by peace ful methods the conditions which to- day they often fail to secure for them selves by resorting to the strike.
 A conservative estimate of the num- Der of organized wage earners and the amount they earn and of necessity spend shows in truly startling man ner the tremendous power they could wieid if their wages were always spent after they had given due thought to their best interests. Taking the 2,25O,- 2 GOO members of trade unions and bas- ing their wages at $1.50 per day for 300 days in the year, we find that this gives them purchasing strength of. $8, ,234 ,824.2 per day, S19,471, ,153.84 per week and grand total Of, $1, ,O12.- 6OO, ,OOO per year. This sum-so great that it Is difficult and well nigh inn possible ..tof appreciake it's tinaHence--if used to pay rent for homes built by union labor and in purchasing the ne. cessities of life that were manufac- tured<or procured by organized work men, would soon work a revolution in every industry in the land.
 Until the workman has learned that every dollar spent for an article that was made by nonunion labor is an in- jury to himself and his fellow work men he has failed to discern one of the most powerful methods of improving his condition that are placed in his hands.-Iron Molders' Journal

NINETY AND NINH.v

< What is described as rural melo- drama will be seen at Polls Friday evening, when Ninety and Nine' will be played. The theme of it's story was selected from the hymn of the same title, and therefore borders somewhat on the religious order. although no spe, cial claim is made to this effect other than that it is clean and wholesome. Current reports state that the scenic effects are truly wonderful, so marvel ous. in fact. that they have attracted s1lnff fe1sa ESaefention.s It hardly seaEnsi probable that a realistic prairie ire with a full sized locomotive runnlns through it at mile q minute speed can be successfully presented upon the stage, yet this .-as been accomplished and will be produced in this city in the came elaborate manner that it has been in New York city for more than one half year.

GLORY OF TRADE uNIoNlsM.

Differs From Other Reforms Tn That
 1t Does Things.
 Genericaliy trade unionism is the un- ion of. the workers in trade for the purpose of betterfng their condition. Specifically there is wide distinction between that trade unionism which de clares for the sympathetic strike. po-' liticaI action and the collective owner ship of the tools and instruments of production and the trade unionism that walks on the earth, deals with practical questions and uses rational and well tested methods.
 Platforms are mportant-sometimes Highfalutin declarations make a nice sound, but in practical sense a 10 per cent advance in wages counts for more than thousand denunciatory resolu-. tions as to the tyranny of the capi- taIist.''
 We of the labor movement are sorely apt to lack sense of proportion. We magnify trif1es and minimize verities. When the walking is bad we fancy we can fly. We wear down in our grooves so deeply that it is hard for us even to peep OSeE tAS CuSc. lAS Lu0 curse or the poor is their poverty, so the weak ness of our intellectual concepts breeds a further weakness in our acts. The real wonder is that under its handicap the trade union accomplishes as much as it does.
 The glory of trade unionism, more over, is that it does things. Herein it differs from most other reform schools. To be sure progress seems slow, meas ured in days and months, but when we get the longer look-off over period of years results are obvious. Coercion has never been able to smash unionism. It is unlikely that it will ever succeed in so doing. And, to speak quite frank ly, coercive methods are double edged when used by trade unionists them selves. If we do not possess the wis dom to build on foundations of convic- ton 1t were better to camp out until we gain it.-Frank k. Foster.

..rHE COUNTY CHAIRMAN,

The lively demand for seats to-day indicates that George Ade's great com edy, "The County Chairman,' which Henry W. Savage presents at Polls to morrow evening, will have one of the very largest audiences of the season. As this splendid play satirizes and treats of the h1lmor of a political cam patgn, it's production here has dou- ble interest on account of the presi- dential election just passed. and as the burden Of current gossip concerns this topic. theater-goers of both sexes will no doubt appreciate the drolleries or ''The County Chairman" George Aides skill as humorist and his resources to fashion q clever play are well known. It goes without saying that the incidents evolved by him will prove most diverting. .The County Chair man. has for it's story the nanlpula. ton of affairs and the consequent elec- ton of young Attorney, Tlllfor0 Wheeler, through the aid of his part ner. Jim Hacker, the political boss or the district. The love story which is threaded through this comedy is cen tered in the young attorney and the daughter of his political opponent, who is also Hackler's bitterest enemy. In the telling of the story the investitnre is unusually large and the scenes Of the nomination. the rally and election are told through the medium of large number of people. The flavor of the soil has been most graphically tran scribed by Mir -Ade and the community of Antioch with it's rural surroundings are painted in most artistic manner. The keynote to the success of this com edy is love and laughter, and the cast. headed by Maclyn Arbuekle as the county chairman is most effective, each of the actors to whom the principal roles are attributed making distinct successes. Willis P. Sweatnam as colored voter, Frances Ring as the heroine. Earle Brown as the young ats torney, Anna Buckley as the village orphan, Grace Fisher as the flirting 2milliner, Charles Fisher, Fred Book, Edwin Chapman, W. J. Gross, J. Sid fney Macy, Rose, Beaudet, E. R. Phil lips, all have important roles ill this production. A large number of people in addition to this cast are used in the production. Prices are 9, 90, 75 cents, $1 and $50, with the free list entirely cut off

fortune, for the rounding of the dTvin-s lty college of the proposed university. Tn addition to this, Miss Caldwell's sister, Lena, gave $50,00o for the en- dowment of chair in the divinity faculty, and other donations were soon afterwards received which raised the total funds of the new institution to $500, ,000 sx
 Such was the suspicious beginning The first building erected upon the 65f acres of ground secured at Washington was the Mary Gwendolin Caldwell Divinity hall, costing SITS. 900, and her name adorns conspicuously this, the. most imposing edif1ce on the grounds
 The difficulties which have seemed ro confront the university from the: very first have been of a three-fold character, namely: Lack of financial, support, lack of student patronage, and ecclesiastical difficulties, in the: man. The plant and endowment amount to- tbout g, 900 ,0o0, and in IS years the in stitution has graduated PAS students, while 15s students we're enrolled last year, with 24regular instructors.
 The first rector Of the university was Right Rev. John n Kaane, D. D., who, after less than ten years of service, was removed by. the pope
 Right Rev. Thomas Conaty, D. D., was chosen to fill the vacancy, and after 8 short service of six years he was removed in 1903 and the third rector. Right Rev. Mgr. D. J. O'Con- nell, D. D., appointed as his successor Pope Plus X, has indorsed the plan of the university board for the taking of an annual collection for the next ten years in the Catholic churches.
 Cardinal Gibbons reports receipts lastEyear of S15o, ,s0s, in addition tosats regular. income from funds already in- vested.
 The university has been a strong center of interest and attraction for the many Catholic religious orders. Clustering about the main university buildings there have been reared one after the other splendid structures to shelter the Dominicans, Franciseans, Oblates of Mary, Fathers of the Holy Cross, Sulpicians, Paulists, Marists, etc The Apostolic Mission house, eosting s50,o0o, and the Dominican House of Studies, costing a like sum, were erected in 1893, and in the Uni yersity Bulletin of last year was an appeal of Thomas J.. Shahan for a. magnificent university cathedral to be erected upon the university grounds.
 The university board has, as part of It's plans, the adorning of the grounds with statues of gseat men of the Cathy4 Dlic faith in church and state, some thing after the manner of the Pincian Hill in Rome. so that in time the Cath olsc university at Washington will be- come noteworthy as center of Cath blic memorials and religious orders.

With rare novelty and rich comedy mingled to perfection. this weeks bill at the Jacques is naturally pleasing the audiences and making good after the manner of the fine shows that have of late drawn so much attention and pa tronage to this theater.

The retiring act b.s the good night horse Is q remarkable bit of business. arguing the possession of almost human intelligence by the sagacious animal. Smith and Camp bell cause unlimited laughter with their merry quips and biting repartee, and J. c.

CATHOLIC VARSITY.
SOMETHING OF THE HISTORY OF WASHINGTON INSTITUTION.
Established in 1889 Through the Gen erosity of Mary Gwendolin Caldwell-Big Plans 2
 for Future.

The profound sensation caused throughout the United States, and especially in Catholic circles through this country and Europe, by the pub lie statement of the Marquise des Monsters Merinville, formerly Mary GYendolin Caldwell, announcing her change of faith and forsaking of the Catholic church, has turned all eyes towards the Catholic University of America, located at Washington, for it was in connection with the founding of this institution of learning that the marquise, then Miss Caldwell, won dis tinction by her munificent gifts which made possible the realization of the hopes and dreams of the church digni- larfes for a denominational institution 4pf higher learning.

Bridgeport, Nov 30-The Rev Royal ". Raymond, pastor of the Stratford Methodist Episcopal church, has hit upon novel plan by which the deaf women in his congregation may hear his sermons. He has horn like those used on graphophones set on his pull pit and connected by wire with the peWs occupied by the women hard of hearing.
 Telephone receivers have been put in these pews and when MT Raymond begins to talk the deaf members of the church put the receivers to their ears. The system was used for the first time last Sunday at the morning and evening services and it worked satisfactorily.

WILLIE.
 AS early as 1883 Bishop Spalding had. in speeches before Catholic as semblies, advocated strongly the es- tablishment of university where the pursuit of the highest scholarship by American Catholics could be carried on in the environment of American Hfe.' and 1t is not strange that the strong convictions and hopes of the bishop should have made their deep impression upon his young wards, Misses Mary and Lena Caldwell, who were being educated in a Washington convent, the parents of the girls hay Ing become converts to the Roman Catholic faith some time before the 3father's death.
 Bishop Spalding was trustee of the
