At THE METROPOLITAN.
The "Tiqer Lilies"

The fact that 1.-The Tiger Lilies
has for the past several years been
recognized as the leader of the bur-
lesque class has by no means encour-
aged it's management, the Campbell
Drew Amusement Co. to rest on its
laurels. The same spirit Of progress
which has in seasons past prompted
them to deviate from the beaten
paths of burlesque and vaudeville
and present a performance that saw
ored of ordinary burlesque only 50
far as it's title was concerned. will
be found in the present seasons Of
fering.
AS will be seen next week, when
the popular show comes to the Met
ropolitan for five nights and three
matinees, beginning Monday evening,
the company boasts Of corps Of fun
makers such as has never been gath
cred in one combinations; singers
with pleasing voices; graceful dane
ers, smart vaudeville turns and q
chorus of girls who have been select
ed for beauty of face and form.
The superiority of "The Tiger
Lilies will be found evident not only

pany, but in the beauty and lavish
ness of the production. Costumes of
the richest material and the most
fanciful design, electrical effects Of
the most attractive variety and a
scenic display of magnificence will
add to the pleasing effect.
Two musical travesties and an ollo
of vaudeville acts compose the bill.
The opening number is entitled "A
Temporary Husband" being an Am
ericanized adaptation Of the success
full comedy of that name which Gre
ated such a Juror in Paris last sea-
son. A German janitor is the prtn-
cipal mirth producer in this skit, and
as played by Richly w. Craig is i'm
mensely funny.
It is in the closing, burlesque, how
ever, 1.-THE King of the Cohee
Fiends" that the full strength of the
company will be apparent. Here will
be seen Alex Carr one of the clever
est and highest salaried Hebrew
comedians on the American stage.

JOHN MITCHELL SOUNDS The
KEYNOTE,

In another column is John Mitchclls
speech before the miners Of Pennsyl-
vania on the coming question between
the coal operators and coal miners. It
Is clear, logical, fair and honest
statement of the position of the miners
union. We are proud Of John Mitchell.
He stands before the American public
today as strongly as he did during
the trying hours Of the great coal
strike In 1902.
1t is unnecessary for daily papers
to advise him what to do. He knows
the situation better than any Of them.
All OF us hope against another coal
strike, but if a strike it must be, John
Mitchell will be at the head of it, the
same cool, fair and able leader that he
has always been.
We publish his speech in this issue.
and we ask our readers to clip it and
paste 1t in their scrap books for fu-
ture reference. 1t may be of consider
able use to us>all next spring. If Pres
ident Baer and his colleagues refuse tn
deal with Mr.. Mitchell this speech can
be referred to for valuable Informal
ton on the position Of the union,
The miners ask for the recognition
OF their union. They want to enter into
a trade bargain with the mine owners
They want an adjusted wage scale
and the eight hour day. Right is
overwhelmingly in their favor, and Mr.
Mitchell proves it.
We coal consumers in Duluth arc
In the habit Of paying a graduated
price for coal. If we have money in
April we can purchase coal for sc
cents per ton less than we can in o.
tober. In May it will cost us 10 cents
per ton more than it would in April
Who ever heard Of coal miner get
| ting any more wages in October thar
he got in April. With the coal ope.
rators it is a one sided question. The,
subdue the workingman on one side
with miserable wages, and bleed the
public on the other with exorbitan
prices.
The coming anthracite coal fight i.
not only the miners fight but it /:
to be the public's fight as we'll. W.
commend Mr.. Mitchenrs speech ant
submit it to an appreciative public.

HEINZE'S SLICK TRICK.

dE1NZE'S SLICK TRICK.
How He Got q Bond for 97OO, 600,
When Clark needed Hefnze's no
litical support in his hight for the
senatorship he went on Heinze's bond
Tor 100000 in suit that the
Butte & Boston Co. had brought
against Heinze. When Clark made
his alliance with the Amalgamated
he went before the Supreme Court
and asked permission to remove his
name from the bond, which request
the Supreme SQUIRT denied. Shortly
afterward a suit was commenced
against Heinze in the Supreme Court
In which he was obliged to furnish
a bond for 100000. Clark was able
by his influence, to prevent Hes~~e
from getting any Montana me
furnish this bond.
Great was the Joy in the Amalga-
mated camp that night. The "Sys-
tenn believed that Heinze could not
possibly get bond for such an i'm
mense sum, and, as Heinze's policy
Of expansion had involved every dol
lar Of his available capital, they
stood back with joyous hearts to
await the crash. The court would
order his mines closed, his smelter
would shut down, his bank collapse
and Heinze would walk out of Butte
dead-broke. To the amazement of
the System" Heinze walked into the
Supreme Court the next morning and
filed bond for 100000, given by
the Wilmington (Delaware) Bond
ing & Casualty Company, and dec
Grated with the big golden seal of
the State of Delaware. Four months
later, when Heinze had gotten out
Of his tight place and was once more
on Easy Street, the anger of the
System" can be imagined when they
learned how they had been tricked.
A month before Clark betrayed
Heinze in the Supreme Court, Heinze
who was watching for signs and
sensed what was coming, walked in
to his office in towering rage one
day and summarily discharged five
of his clerks and bookkeepers. They
disappeared with $4,000 of Heinze'a
money, but speedily arrived in Will
mington, DEL, where they opened
magnificent Offices and applied to the
proper authorities for the right to do
business. This was granted but all
the business they ever did was ia
send a beautiful bond, triumph OF
the engraver's art, to their employer
when he telegraphed for 1t. The
Supreme Court called Heinze into Its
august presence and lectured him
severely. Heinze listened gravly
though there are people who say thai
he had Observation-Disclosures

disgrace to st. Louis county. Some of
the exhibitions were clearly in viola

managers showed themselves to be
bordering on the verge of moral de-

HOW MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
GROWS,

The census office of the United
States undertook some time ago to in
vestigate the growth of the public
ownership idea as applied to the light
ing system of cities and towns, and
to compare the methods Of the publicly
and privately owned plants.
The first thing the agents charged
with this investigation discovered was
that the managers Of the privately
owned plants were exceedingly loath
to furnish any information and rather
insolently defiant in their efforts to
avoid doing so.
The reluctance and the insolence
were alike natural.
So great has been the spread Of the
public ownership sentiment that the
managers of private corporations rea-
lie the fact that they are on trial for
extortion, corruption and inefficiency.
They are as unwilling to give the facts
as a felon in the dock is to testify
against himself.
And for so long a. time have they, by
their persistent participation in par
tisan politics, been able to rule mayors
and councils, commissions and legisla-
lures that they doubtless feel it an
impertinence for the mere agents Of
the people, officials Of the United
States government, to come prying into
their private affairs. longtime pub
lie Indifference has been the meat on
which these corporate Caesars have
grown thus masterful, and it is hard
for them to comprehend that the ban
quet is no longer for them.
When the statistics thus painfully
gathered from unwilling witnesses are
codified they show the extravaganza
of private as compared with public
ownership, and the rapid multiplication
Of municipality owned plants in the
United States.
That We are far behind European
or even South American cities in our
municipalizing of public utilities Is no.
toriously true. In Buenos Ayres, or
even in Tiflis, New Yorks present sit
uation would be scoffed at as semi
civilized. But the report Of the United
States census shows how rapidly this
situation Is being corrected in the
country at large. In the matter Of
electric lighting plants alone, there are
today SIS owned and operated by
cities, as against only 68 in 1889. Since
that year the increase in municipal
plans has proceeded and shows a
constant growing ratio.
An interesting fact in political his,
tory, though not within the scope OF
this report, is that no city or town Of
the United States has ever had an op-
portunity to vote upon municipal own
ershfp without warmly approving it.
Chicago furnishes doubtless the most
shining example of the force of this
public sentiment, Duluth, too, did
proud work like scores of other cities
that decided at the polls the question
Of taking over their gas or their water
systems. Not one has voted adversely

LIVING PEOPLE FIND
PLACES IN NOVELS

According to writer in the Royal
Magazine, there are today some
dozen or fifteen prominent people
more or less so-who have figured in
famous novels Of the past. The
Duke of Rutland, then Lord John
Manners, was the Lord Henry Sidney
of Disraeli's famous novel, "Conings-
BY" and the Duke of Brecon was
Lord Johns father, the then Duke of
Rutland. His famous castle of Besu-
MANOR Is the Belvoir castle of the
Rusland family, so we'll known to
visitors to the Midlands.
Next to the Duke of Rutland the
place Of doyenne among Giving peo-
pie In famous novels belongs to
Mrs. Mary Ann Cooper, who was the
original Of Charles Dickens Little
DOrrit. She was in her maiden days
Miss Milton, was born in Hatton-
garden in 1913, and her father had
a residence at Sunbury where Dick
ens-his friend-often visited. Dick
ems used to call Miss Milton Little
Dorrit as a nickname, and one day
he told her that he was going to
write another book ct was in 1850
that was to be called Little Dorrit,"
as he should put her in it. Mrs.
Cooper, though now 90, is still &C
tive, and is naturally extremely
proud of the honor that has been
hers.

Impertant case Docketed.

Washington. May 2s.-The case of the United States vs the American Sugar Refining Company was docketed today in the Supreme Court of the United States. The case involves the question as to when the treaty between the United States and Cuba reducing the duty on Cuban sugar went into effect. The United States Circuit for the Southern Districtfof New York de- cided that it became operative ten days after the exchange of notifications on March 31, 1903 regardless of the Sen ate amendment making 1t operative only upon approval by Congress which did not take place until December IT, 1903.
 The full duty on sugar was coI- lected on all Cuban Importations be- tween the two dates, but was paid under protest, the importers claiming a reduction of 20 per cent. The case Is brought to the Supreme Court by the government on the ground that the treaty did not take effect until Con- gress acted and the President issued his proclamation.

He referred also to the acqui- sition of the Mobile and Ohio Railway by the Southern and asserted that in buying this road advances in rates were not made in order to pay for the increased capitalization as had been | iDtimated.
 | He pointed out that the railroads were not advocating regulation oi rates by the courts. but maintained that if, question of rates must be passed upon by any tribunal 1t should be by the courts as otherwise the | property of the railroads would not be protected.

 Q Curious Lfvfng.


 New York, May 23.--So cleverly had check which made its appearance in Tombs court today been altered, de- tectives say. that there are only five known men in the country, if not in the world. capable of doing the work. These five men are in receipt of a reg ular pension from the American Bank CTS Association in return for which they have agreed to refrain from ex- ercising their unlawful and dangerous talents.
 All of them have been kept under constant surveillance for years and the police say 1t would have been next to impossible for any of them to have altered the check without their iden- tity becoming known. They are con- vinced. however, that this has been done or a new and unkonwn "penmen" equal in every way to the most ac- complished forgers of the past mas be- gun work in this city.
 Frank Clifton, a bar tender, was arraigned in the Tombs court today charged with attempting to pass the check which had been raised from $110.5e to $2.800. The police are con vinced that even if. Clifton had any guilty knowledge regarding the check he was only tool for the real crimi- nal. He was held for further exami- nation.
