the prohibitionists found that the money

Slason Thompson in the Outlook has
some startling figures on the prevalence Of
violence in labor troubles. The record
covers the period between Jan. 1, 1902, and
Sept. 30, 1904. In this two years and nine
months there were killed in strikes 1873
persons; injured, 1896, and arrested,
6,114. This means that on an average
six persons were killed, sixty injured and
1856 arrested each month. An examination
Of the details shows that of those killed
125 were non-union men, fifty-six union
lists and seventeen officers of the law. OF
those injured 1926 were on-unionists and
the balance about equally divided be-
tween union men and law officers. In the
arrests the proportion Of unionists to non
unioplsts was almost fourteen to one.
This is an appalling showing, practically
continuous civil war of a lesser kind.

illustrated by striking pictures. The
headliner, Miss Marie Laurens, INDUCES
in some vocal pyrotechnics that are ex-

theme by Proch, considered a test in
colurature which only highly trained

Orpheum-Debut of Gertrude Sans Sol

Orpheum-Debut of Gertrude Sans Soucl.
The appearance of Gertrude Sans-Souci
at the Orpheum this week is the interest
ing feature of the program, altho there
is no lack of other attractions. Miss
Sans-Souci has long been recognized as
one Of the leading organists of the twin
cities, and her playing last evening was
but an additional evidence of that fact
The scene was admirably arranged. The
organ was placed on one side of the
stage obliquely facing the audience and
when the curtain rose Miss Sans-Souci
was discovered seated at the organ. She
was most attractive in lavender empire
gown trimmed with silver ornaments, and
wearing a. silver bandeau around her
hair.
Miss Sans-Souci opened with Sullivan's
Lost Chord played with orchestral &C
compartment. It was very effective, but
was marred somewhat by the failure of
the leader Of the orchestra to follow her
time accurately. AS a first encore Miss
Sans souci played Baldwins "Burlesca, .
which did not prove so effective. The
players last offering was Moszkowski's
| ''Serenade,'' which was beautifully rem

with fine effect.

Alarming Increase of PneumonIa.-Of all
human ailments, pneumonia has Increased
most steadily in the last half century,
says Pearson's for January. A physician
who has made pneumonia a special study
estimated that in the first six months Of
last year (1904) about per cent of all
deaths in the United States were due to
pneumonia. That was alarming enough
but the figure is small when compared with
the statistics Of any one big city. The
percentage in New York has not been
lower than 1888 in ten years. In the first
half of last year it reached 1877. Be
tween 1874 and 1894, the annual pneumonia
death rate per thousand inhabitants in
New York city increased from 1888 to
2.61, while the advance in the average
decennial rate per thousand was from 2.20
to 2.98. In the same period the yearly
tuberculosis death rate decreased from
3.91 to 2.57 per thousand, and the average
decennial rate from 4.02 to 2.7S per thou
sand. +.- ~
Shall Our Colleges Become "Trusts"?-
The plan to unite Harvard university and
the Massa chusetts Institute Of Technology
brings up the question of the possibility
of union or combination of many col
leges. In an article in the current Har-
per's Weekly entitled ''Shall Our Colleges
Become Trusts % DR.. Charles F. Thwing,
president of Western Reserve university,
takes the point of view that as the pri-
mary principle Of the trust is efficiency,
this principle when applied to higher edu-
cation would mean the fullest use of every
dollar given in endowment and the calling
out Of all the resources of teaching staff
| and student body. The strongest argu-
ment against the application of the
'trust" principle, DR.. Thwing thinks, is
the influence Of the individual college and
the opposition of the graduates.
