BOYS WORK AT Y. M. c. A.
New Physical Director Given Warn
 RecepttOn.


 The boys department gymnasium class at the Young Mems Christian As sociation gave the new assistant sec- retary and physical director, w. G. T Baker, who has charge of the boys work a warm reception yesterday af- ternoon.
 There were thirty-hve boys present to meet the new instructor. After the gymnasium class, the boys were seat ed on mats in the gymnasium and served with ice cream, which enhanced the pleasure of the occasion.
 MT. Baker has had much experience with boys work in associations. and will doubtless be able to make the boys work here of great benefit to them. In addition to the gymnasium work, 1t is expected that he will con- duct work along religious and social lines for the benefit of the members of the junior department of the asso- citation.
 The boys gymnasium classes have been changed from the morning to the afternoon hours on account of the opening of schools. For the present the classes meet on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 3:30 o'clock and Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock.
 The association has a growing ju- nior department of nearly hundred boys, and 1t is probable that under MT. Bakers leadership this number will be greatly increased.

 There are two infiexible rules In every one of MT. Wells's theatres, said Mir. Neal. which will of course obtain here. One Is that no disrepu- table characters, men or women, are allowed in the house. The other is that no babies in arms are admitted. hope we will not be misunderstood on the application of this last rule. We cater to ladies and children and give them every attention but every mother knows that crying baby mars performance and embarrasses her. We think best to put them on notice before they apply"
 The staff of the new theatre has not been completed. MT. Neal will be as sisted by capable men, some of whom will be drawn from other Wells houses The orchestra leader will be George F. Lindner of Indiana, who reached Montgomery yesterday. Mir. Lindner is said to be a talented musician who completed his studies abroad. He has surrounded himself with good nAlsi- clans.
 "AIphonse and Gaston' will play at the theatre but one night. Tuesday night Walter Edwards, supported by Miss Jane Wheatley will begin a weeks engagement, opening with a production of The Sign of the Four" to be followed later in the week by David Garrick." This company is owned by MT. Wells and MT. Neal says he congratulates himself that he is able to begin his season with such a clever company of players.

 workers say that even if the proposf- tion is shown to be defeated by the re-
 turn that negotiations will not be ak an end.
 According to the operators there are no grounds for such a statement, as they say that they have made their last proposition and they are through if ths men do not accept 1t. In some in stances it is believed that men employ ed on mines will surrender their char ters and make direct wage scales vita the operators without regard to the ac tion of the union.

to the manufacture 81 tling and pottery and fancy
