characterizations at the Lyceum next
Friday and Saturday night with a
matinee Saturday. Offering as his
opening bill "Richelieu," to be fol-
lowed Saturday matinee by lingo
mar and closing Saturday night
with "Virginius.'
Every school boy has read, and
every school girl has been told of the
self sacrifice of "Virginus," the Ro-
man father, who to save his daugh-
ter from dishOnor slew her, and many
have been the tears shed in sympathy
for the youthful Isilius, her sweet
heart, who was thus deprived of his
bride by the Internal Vaccinations
OF Applus Claudius, the tyrannical
Decemvir, who ruthlessly conspired
the Infamous deed that actuated the
tragedy of Virginus, and while CEN
turtles have elapsed since that day,
yet, thanks to the constructive gen.
ius of Sheridan Knowles, the story is
perpetuated in the drama, and as
long as Louis James lives, so long
will the story be reacted by one who
is said to be the greatest living de-
lineator of this august character.
Mr.. James as Virginus is a tower
of magnetic strength, tender, sympa-
thetic, brave, with an intelligence of
power permeating the entire charac-
ter, that one might stand up and

'"This Is man." His Virginus is
not the mediocre inspiration of the
actor, but the wildly real portrait

taken years of arduous mental labor
to formulate, and which is as near
being reality as is possible for the
human mind to depict.

New York. Feb. 22.-The officers and
members of Typographical union No.
6, are wearing broad grin these days.
Norman Hapgood, editor of "Collier's"
recently printed an article in which he
said things about "Town Topics which
made the editor OF that paper si1 up
and take notice. Hapgood was in
dicted for criminal libel, and it took
the jury less than seven minutes to
find him not guilty. Col. Mann, editor
of '"Town Topics" has been arrested on
a charge of perjury. For years, Billy
Green, president of the Typothetae, has
been sharing IN the tainted monef
collected by: the He MRS. Warren"
Just now he is posing as a leader In the
fight for the "open shop: That is why
the members Of No. 8 are grinn1ng.
An officer Of the union, discussing
the situation of today, said:

appeared as the prosecutor Of the ma,
who had the courage to perform this
great public service, admitted in his

BRANDT IS 0USTED
BY PAINTERS UNION
Flighty Delegate Who Con-
demned Honorable Commit
tee Regulated by Union.
Bv Unanimous Vote G. M.
Brandt is Withdrawn as
Delegate to Assembly.

G. NJ. Brandt was repudiated by
the Painters union at regular
meeting held at Labor World hall
Tuesday evening. At the last meet
ing of the Trades Assembly Brandt
stirred up a row because the political
committee of the assembly refused to
endorse his favorite candidate for
alderman in the Sixth ward. The
committee had made no endorsement
in this ward because both candidates
were regarded to be favorable to
labor.
Brandt was not satisfied with this
so he created an uncalled for and
vicious uproar in the assembly, even
going so far as to condemn the COM
mittee and questioning the integrity
of it's members.
The matter was given considerable
notoriety in the newspapers, and the
painters union was prompted to take
the matter up. Brandt is member
of this union. A committee was ap-
pointed, and careful investigation
was made. During the inquiry it
was determined by the committee
that Brandt was not fit person to
represent the local union in the as
sembly, and that he was no credit to
the union.
This was recommended to the local
and every vote in the union. save
Mr.. Brandts alone, was polled in
favor of the report of the committee.
Mr.. Brandt made a determined fight
to save himself but without avail.
He charged the committee with be-
ing Influenced by other delegates to
the assembly who wanted to get rid
of him, but as he has been doing
nothing else but making charges OF
late which he could not substantiate,
no attention was paid to his protest.
Had the union failed to withdraw
him from the assembly 1t is said that
charges would have been preferred
against him in that body for defam-
ing the character of fellow union
man and questioning his fidelity to
the movement. The person assailed
is known to be a most loyal union
man. The timely and commendable
action of the painters is supported
by the majority Of the men in the
labor movement here.
