STORIES OF STAGE.

San Toy" is coming to this city
soon and will be presented by John c.
Fishers company in manner that will
doubtless make it the particular event
in musical comedy circles. This Chin
csc creation has been a very great sue
cess in America and there is the best
of reason why it achieved the popu-
larity that is destined to carry it
through many more years on the top
wave of pubic favor. First of all,
San Toy" is tuneful, and to degree
that arrests the fancy of every one
with even moderate liking for jingl-
ing airs. 1t has % delightful and or
iginal numbers, and if those who listen
to it's melodies could have their way,
there would be more. The book is as
free from objectionable lines as the
literature scattered about a young
ladies' seminary. and the comedy clev-
err enough to hold the interest when
ever there is an intermiSSiOn between
the musical gems. But the features
which have done quite as much as the
merit of the book and music to win
popularity are summed up in the SUI
perb equipment and magnificent
mounting which has been supplied By
Mr. Fisher. In the big organization.
which has James T. Powers for its
chief comedian, and George X. FOrtes-
cue. Margaret Mckinney. John Peach

A work. which almost every one
hearing about for the first time will
look upon as absolutely unique, is be
ing carried on by large manufacture
ing concern in New Jersey. OF such
exceptional worth are the various fea-
lures considered. that the bureau of
statistics of labor and industry of New
Jersey has had special report made
of them for the Louisiana Purchase
exposition. It will come as surprise
TO many that the main idea of the Yves
'On Electrical instrument company.
where this work is carried on. is to
better the lot of working men-a sur
prise because those who have not
watched the progress of the world and
kept pace whit it are inclined to think
that big commercial enterprises are
operated merely as money making ma
chimes with no thought as to the wear
and tear of the machinery, be it human
or material.
The one general feature of the work
of this enterprise is a genuine desire
to make the working home of the EN-
ployes as comfortable and as health
full as possible. and at the same time
TO have no faint of charity attached to
any effort. To avoid any paternalism
or control coming from the head of the
company. an employees club has been
formed. which is self-governing, with
the responsibility directly upon the
workers composing it. 1t is from this
club that the unique features of the
business concern have their start.
For example. there is a dining room
where a table dhOte lunch is served
for 90 cents. Service is composed of
employee volunteers. who are compen-
stated by being permitted to lunch at
the expense of the club. and TO whom
the company allows enough extra time
at noon TO ensure their having the full
40 minutes recess. Each one of these
serves a month at a time.
Then there is a lunch counter where
members may buy what they choose
and wait on themselves. 4 cup of tea.

The day of the straight front" has

This pronunCiamento was made at
the dressmakers' meeting in Chicago
yesterday. The new style OF Corsets
were fitted on living models at the af-
ternOOn session of the convention of
the National Dressmakers' association.
More than 600 women witnessed the
fitting. The lecture on COrsets was
by Mrs. Helene c. Crosby of Battle
Creek. Mich.
The old straight front cOrsets must
go declared Mrs. Crosby. The prob
lem has been solved and all women
now can wear cOrsets with comfort
and have excellent figures. The new
corset allows women TO pad in much
more artistic way than they have been
able to do in the past as the steel
stays are lighter and more pliable."
