JOINS LONDON'S
YANKEE COLONY
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Aug. e-Another wealthy
American woman has decided to make
her home in England She is Mrs.
FRANKLIN Barton, who lived for some
years in St Louis, but who has made
her home for some time past in New
York Her husband accumulated his
fortune in railway and mining specula-
tions and although she has not made
any great pretensions to wealth in the
United States she is understood to be
mistress of couple OF million dollars,
which amounts 10 q good deal here.
She intends having both a London and
a country residence, and according to
negotiations that are at present pro-
ceeding it is probable that she will be-
come the tenant, and perhaps the own
er, Of the lovely residence in Cadogan
Gardens where Mrs. Langtry lived when
she was the reigning favorite of King
Edward. who was then Prince of
Wales. He used to visit her there,
and IL was at that house occurred the
famous chunk of ice episode which so
chilled the royal backbone and shocked
the Princes sense Of dignity that he
cut the Jersey Lily dead next day in
Hyde Park. One Of the most commodi-
Gus mansions on the Earl Of Cadogan's s
estate, 81 has lost nothing in value be-
cause Of it's associations with royalty
and beauty When it is let furnished
for the society season il commands
easily $500 a month
MrsA Barton's country residence will
be somewhere in the neighborhood of
Manchester, as she has family connec-
tions with the great cotton city, from
whence her husbands ancestors came.
She is herself a native Of New Bed
ford, Mass. and although she means to
make her home permanently in Eng
land she will pay annual visits to the
United States to look after some in
terests which she has in railways and
mines there.

LONDON GOSSIP
Of THE STAGE

LONDON, Aug 6.-By all odds the
most striking thing about the plans for
the coming theatrical season in London
is the way American plays dominate
the situation. Account for it as you
like, either by the Oft proclaimed "pov-
erty" of the native drama, or the sue
cess won in the metropolis last year by
pieces from across the water, the fact
remains that no previous dramatic year
has started off with so many American
works underscored for production. Ac-
cording to present arrangements the
season will open with one of theme.
NJ. S. McLellan'S new comedy, On the
Love PATH" in which Ellis Jeffreys is
to appear. So far, Mcclellan has two
big successes to his credit here--"The
Belle of New York" and Leah
Kleschna," which is still running in ST.
Martins Lane and two failures. Gilt
tering Gloria" and 1.-THE Whirl of the
Town." so there is quite bit OF
curiosity to see "On the Love Path.
1t will be produced early in August by
Frederick Harrison of the Haymarket,
who is rather noted for picking Win
ners.
Charles Hawtrey is now appearing at
the Avenue in a short revival OF his
old standby, THE Message From
Mars" but he has just announced his
intention of starting business next sea-
son with 1.-THE Crisis" the dramatiza-
ton of ChurchilPs novel which Hackett
used in the United States. Whether the
venture will succeed is another mat
ter, but it will be interesting at all
events to see Hawtrey as an American.
The name of the piece is likely to be
changed for use in this country, as 1t is
generally associated with the English
version of Augier's Les Fourcham-
bault." which was played at the Hay
market.
If present arrangements hold, the
Duke of York's, now occupied by Bar
rie's Alice Fire" will be
reopened by Frohman with Gillette In
his new play, "Clarisse." The Dicta-
tor" has been withdrawn temporarily
at the Comedy, but will be put on again
as soon as the hot weather is over. and
afterward Collier will be seen in Au-
gustus Thomas play, "On the Quiet"
Martin Harvey is coming back to town
early in the fall with new play, which
| he has Just accepted from Marion
Crawford 1t is unnamed as yet, but
Martin Harvey describes 1t as serious"
and says he hopes to do even better
with it than he has done with that
other Crawford play "A Cigarette
makers Romance.
Another American-made play which
will be seen early in the coming season
is Stanislaus STANCES School for
Husbands" which Jessie Millward, lost
to this country for over six years, is
going to produce. probably at Terry's.
Meanwhile plans are well advanced for
reopening the Shaftesbury under the
Shubert management with the Amer
ican musical piece. "Fantana," and l
understand that the only thing not yet
settled regarding Dave Warf1eld's COM

lowing letter to The Call:
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Aug s. 1905
Editor OF The Call:
1t has been called to our attention that it
appears in Of the daily papers published
to-day that the Elevator Conductors and
Starters Schmitz Club has indorsed resolu-

oDmends the reelection Of Mayor Schmitz in
the coming municipal election.
In order that there be no misunderstand-
ing regarding the connection of the club above

tion to the following facts: At meeting of
the Elevator Conductors and Starters Union
held August 4. 1905. the resolution of the
Building Trades Council was introduced before
the meeting. but no action was taken thereon.
After the meeting adjourned three or four
members of the union organized the "Schmitz
Club and passed q resolution along the same
lines as that Of the Building Trades Council.
We deem II but fair to. all parties concerned
TO- call your attention. to the fact that any ac-
tion taken by the so-called Elevator Conductors
and Starters Schrnitz Club is entirely ire
spective Of the action OF our union Yours re-
spectfully, e. B. RING,

what arc You Going to DO About it.

Are you going to be party to his dishonest
political methods and their resulting graft, to
the utter disgrace of San Francisco. and to the
dishonor of every union labor in this city;
or, are you going to help elect convention
that will repudiate Ruef and his methods?
Every man upon the sticker here presented to
you for your consideration a bona flde union
labor man. carrying a union card. If elected
these men win form a convention that will be
truly A FREE AND REPRESENTATIVE LA
BOR CONVENTION. They will wear no collar
and by their conduct will place such a ticket
in the field that union labor can honestly sup
port--a ticket which will redeem the good name
of union labor, long disgraced by association
with Mr.. Abraham Ruef.
If you are in harmony with the ideas here
expressed, viz: the rescuing OF union labor
from the base 1t has peen put by Abe
Ruef and his creatures, you will take this
stcker containing the names of union labor
men with you into the voting booth and paste
1t into the Union Labor ballot. You will then
have performed your duty. unless it may be
that your usefulness in the cause of good gov
ernrnent could be enlarged somewhat by going
to your neighbor friend and inducing him
to do likewise.
Remember our aim is to emulate the charac-
ter and example of the first Union Labor Con-
yention.

Work,ngmen Refuse to Be
Led by Boss Of the
Municipality.

The Anti-Ruef United Labor League,
an organization created by union work
ingmen who refuse to acknowledge
Ruef as their master and dictator. has
nominated a ticket of delegates in
every Assembly district of the city.
The founders of the league issue the
following address to the labor vote OF
San Francisco:
TO ALL UNION LABOR MEN AND THEIR
SYMPATHIZERS
Your attention is called to the within sticker
containing the names of Union Labor men,
offering themselves delegates to the Union
Labor Convention.
TIE effort is now being honestly made to
create a Union Labor convention which will
be union labor IN FACT as well as in name.
The first Union Labor convention was an
1t was free and independent, and it command
ed the respect and to greater extent 1t com
nlanded the votes of union labor than any
convention has since
The last two conventions of the Union Labor
party have been the creatures Of Mr. Abe
Ruef. He has been the political boss
MIR. Ruef does not even claim allegiance to
the Union Labor party. The tickets he has
dictated he himself has not supported he
does not now promise to support the labor
ticket. He proclaims himself Republican.
At this time by every corrupt means known
to the political wire puller he is endeavoring
to encompass the election of his political chat
tells, to both Republican and Unian Labor
port only the candidate for Mayor on the
Union Labor ticket and trade off all the rest
of the candidates.
The scheme is a bold one indeed, but not
calculated to enlist the sympathies OF honest
men in either party. We believe that political
parties were created for the purpose of ad-
.vancng principles that would rebound TO the
advantage of a free people.
Mr.. REef is a mercenary boss. To make
himself rich in the material things of the
world he is in politics. He is rich now beyond
measure. He could retire now with more
money than any two political bosses that ever
controlled politics in San Francisco. II he is
permitted to he boss for the next two years
he will by the corrupt methods he is now
pursuing be many times millionaire. all of
which will abe squeezed out of the people by
diverse andseyarious means. Of .blackmail and
graft
To carry out his objects he stops not at
encouraging perjury, nor ballot box stutfng,
as evidenced by the conviction of three of his
heelers in the last year; he has broken up
labor meetings with his gang of job holders;
he has created riots .upons the streets Of the
city and he has shielded himself from prose-
cutions for crimes behind his certificate to
practice law.
This picture of Abe Ruef. politician and
CRATER, is not, a pleasing one.

Hearts Delight, 90 very poor then?
He had always thought her rich, she
wore such beautiful clothes. But one
might have plenty to eat ana wear and
not much money. Billy knew. That
was his own case.

asked the price Of the little tray.

salesgirl.
Billy fairly staggered out Of the
store. No wonder the pretty lady could
not buy 1t. Then he sat down and
took account Of stock.
There were three cents. and never
did pennies look 40 small. Out of the
tangle that crammed his pockets he ex-
tracted three marbles and fishhook
that seemed commercially available.
Could one small boy earn the required
balance In a few weeks? One small
boy would certainly try.

and incidentally to bask In the light Of
the salesgirl's smile.
She had wonderfully winning
smile, and Billy had long ago told her
his secret. That was the reason she
kept the china heart hidden In an
Indian moccasin until she saw Billy
coming. otherwise some one else might
have bought II and broken the china
heart, Billy's and all.
She did not approve of the pretty
lady with her coQuettish airs, but she
never told Billy 80, for she did most
heartily approve Of him.
