As the steamer Dubuque landed At
the Davenport leyes yesterday from
ST. Louis, 30 white laborers, mostly
young men of more than average in
telligence for this class of people, were
unloading here The men had been
shipped TO this point by st. Louis
labor agent who told them that he had
secured work for them in the harvest
fields and that a man would be in
waiting for them upon the arrival of
the boat here. Upon their landing
they found no man waiting for them
and no jobs in sight. 1t was the
same old trick that had been played
upon q gang OF Austrians sent here
some time ago. The men had given
the employment agent $3.50 a piece
This was to include the agents fee
and their fare to Davenport. The
agent III turn contracted with the Dia-
mond 10 company TO bring the men
to this city for 81 per head, so that
he realized $50 clear upon each man
shipped. Aside from the 50 who got
off at Davenport there were many 9th

BLANCHE RING IN "PAPAs"
Popular Musical Comedy Passes Fiji
tieth Performance in Chicago.


Having passed its 50th performance
at Powers theatre. that whirlwind of
fun "Vivians Papas," now Outranks
all other productions in Chicago, as far
as concerns the length of its run. Nor
is there any diminutiOn in public inter
est. and therefore in the box Office re
ceipts of this attraction. Indeed not
since this famous old play, "Charleys
Aunt" had its marvellous prosperity
throughout the United States, has ii
farce been received with such extra
ordinary demonstrations of approval
as is the case with the one now under
notice. Possibly the best feature of it
all is that from start to finish the
sparkling and speedy farce is thorough
~ American-in situation and in char
GcteriZation. Miss Blanche Ring. who
impCrsOnateS the title role of Vivian.
has captured the fancy of Chicago as
perhaps no other feminine star has in
many years. Coming direct from New
York and from London where she has
been organizing the leading roles in
musical comedies. Miss Ring intro
duces into the role of Vivian a super
abundance of vitality and magnetism
and personal charm that do much to
add to the buoyancy of the entertain
mCnt. She is now singing two new
songs-an Indian ballad by the author
of Navajo" and Kate Kearney," an
Irish ballad which is a sequel to Be
della" in the third act. Miss Ring re-
tains the other popular melodies which
were the talk of Chicago on the open
ing night.
Il must not be inferred, however.
that hers is the only part of the per
Torrance worthy of mention. Harry
Conor for so many years principal
comedian in the comedies of the late
Charles H. Hoyt. has a cOngenial part
in ''Vivian's Papas" and he plays it..
