AFTER A TRUST

United States District Attorney S.
H. Bethea, Of Chicago, intimates that
the Chicago Car Service association
must change some of it's rules to avoid
legal process. 1t is commended by ship
pers that the association, combina-
ton Of the twenty-six railroads enter
ing the city, is a violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law. The roads init
mate they would carry the case to
the supreme court.
Mr.. Bethea suggested that the rules
of the association must provide for
notice to the consignee of the arrival
of freight; each railroad company
must make its own demurrage charges
and that the companies must individ-
ually fix the time for the loading and
unloading Of cars. He would also have
each company pass on claimed unjust
charges and refund where charges
were found to be unfair.

FORCEFUL SERMON BY
REV. M'KEAN LAST NIGHT

The special services at the Broad
way Presbyterian church, which are
to be held every evening this week

attendance. There is an address each
evening by Rev. F.. II. Mexican, the
eloquent pastor Of the Presbyterian
church of Holton. Kas.. preceded by a
song service conducted by DR.. \. II.
McCandless and IL chorus choir of %
voices.
Last evening the question, What
Think Ee of Christi" was the theme
of the discourse. and the fearful i'm
port of an incorrect conception of the
character. life and office or wilful
denial Of the divinity, kingship and re-
demptive character of the Savior was
brought home to the audience in a
clear and logical manner. Christ, as
the light of the world. the true life of
men, the great example. the strength
offered to all men. as our friend and
elder brother. and as the Savior and
redeemer of the world. was in these
successive steps presented very forci-
bly, by the speaker, and an urgent ap-
peal made to begin the new year by a
larger. wider. conception of the office
and character of the great captain of
salvation.
This evening. besides the music by
the chorus choir. there will be Il solo

Realism appears to be the element
most sought after in contemporary
dramatic creations. The extreme to-
which this endeavor is carried has
striking illustrations in the current
importations of English melodramas,
chiefly notable for their mechanical
devices designed to precipitate start
ling climaXes. Another kind of real
ism, and one that always has a strong
hold on the American theatre public,
is that typified by the "Old Home
stead" class of plays. 1t is in the
newest of these rural dramas, York
State Folks" that realism of a very
homely and appealing kind is the key
note and eclipses everything that has
so far been produced in this line.
York State Folks will be presented
at the Illinois theatre this evening.
1t is an exquisite, rural portraiture,
elaborated with hundred deft touch
es of naturalness, bespeaking on the
part of the author not only close OBJ
servation, but also the possession of
true artistic temperament. York
State Folks" has made an instanta-
neOus success, and critics have pro-
nOunced the work of Mr.. Sidman as
an author equal to the best efforts of
John +. Owens, James \. Herne and
Denman Thompson. He has shown a
remarkable dramatic ability in build
ing his story, and had been RESPONSE
BILE for what is an unusual CHARACTER
creation. His Myron Cooper, the
leading parsonage of the play, is a
simple, honest old man who might
N inaI fhnnC1n1E nI
yet whose life is full of subtIy rn-
mantle interest. With this romance
is blended sense of humor which
lghtens all difficulties and adds color
and life to the characterization. OPP
posed to his is Simon Peter Martin,
the strong-minded president of the
village, whose temper and stubborn
ness furnish the stumbling block of
the story, and whose character is
vivid in its contrast to that of the old
village organist. Cooper. These peo-
pie one feels that he has known al
ways. and it is the same with the
lighter characters which add TO the
comedy element-Lem Dunbar, the
honest but rather awkward young
horse trader who gets the worst of
the love affair; Ziby Tucker and Ezra
Blowers, the garrulous old workmen
in Martins wagon shop; Hal Murdoch.
the stylish young music teacher from
Syracuse; Jennie Miller and Emeline
Hubbard, two as womanly, naive
young persons as one sees on the
boards; Jennie's mother, the strong
willed sister Of the old organist, and
a dozen others. 1t is all simple tale
Of village life, with plenty of heart
interest, a pretty love story. few
tears and a great many laughs.
