Which Shall Be Reconvened
to Take Action.
STATUTE TO BE DRAWN

Remedies for the so-calIed divorce evil
the best that can be found, in the opinion
of the congress on uniform divorce laws,
the last OF which was adopted about noon

representatives from forty-five states and
the District Of Columbia, including law
yers churchmen and men prominent in
public life in various fields of activity
The resolutions were reported from COM
mittee, CT which Walter George Smith

sion ever since. This same committee has
been instructed to embody the acts of the
congress in a statute to be ultimately sub
mitted to all The states and territories of
the United States When the statute is
prepared the congress will be reconvened
by Gov Pennypacker of Pennsylvania, its
president, in order that action may be
taken upon the proposed law.
The resolutions aim to strike the death
blow at the collision of parties Tor the

orQer that this blow may be effectual 1t
is proposed that the various states ana
t. rritories be asked to legislate, and IL
IS expressly stated that agitation for a
federal law on the subject would, in the
opinion of the congress, not be feasible. AS
one delegate aptly expressed 1t, the WORK
OF the congress has been in behalf OF
publicity, decency and comfy between the
sister states in the matter of granting d.
voIces. The way is also opened by the
congress for the consideration of the ques-
ton of marriage as bearing upon divorce.

BROTHERHOOD OF McKENDREE.
Address on Coal Strike Situation by
Mr.. Powderly.

Mr. Terence V. Powdcrly addressed the
meeting of the Brotherhood of Mckendree'
held last evening In the Sunday school room
of the McKendree NJ. F. Church, Massa-
chusetts avenue near 9th street. Mr.. Pow
derby was at the head of the knights OF
Labor several years ago. Prior to the ad-
dress a musical entertainment was given
in honor of the speaker. Mr.. S. I. Covert
president of the brotherhood, presided Mr..
Arno b. Cammerer rendered a piano solo,
which was followed by vocal solo by Mrs.
Bessie Latham Gibson. Mr.. V. I. Barbour
told a number of comical stories and Miss
May Louise Wood played a piano selection,
President Covert introducing Mr.. Powderly-
The subject of Mr. Powderlys address
was 1.-The Coal Strike Situation" He ad-
vised the people not to talk or the strike
situation, but to go ahead and work with a
will to down 1t. Although Mr.. PoWderly
stated that he did not think there would be
a coal strike as the only ones that were
striking for the eight-hour day was the
miners helper, who worked In the mine
from nine to eleven hours a day, while the
miner is only working from six to eight
hours. Therefore the miner would not
strike, as he could gain nothing by 1t. and,
on the other hand, If he did, might lose
what he now has. The immigrants who
are brought to this country TO work in the
mines, Mr.. Powderly said are employed at
a very small salary, are compelled to pay
for their tools and are taxed 50 by the mine
owner who says that ii is for the purpose
of securing them against taxation from the
government 1t was added that if the men
who come to this country were able to read
and write the English language there would
be no hardshps which they now have IN
the mines as the miner would not allow
his employer to impose upon him as is now
the case
Mr.. Powderly recommended as solution
of the strike problem the passage OF a law
recurring all immigrants who land In this
country to be able to read some clause In
the Constitution in English, but that the
law should not go into effect until fifteen
or twenty years after its passage as those
who are children now would in that time
be able to read as well write the Eng
lish language, and that all of the foreign
countries would be doing as the Germans
are-that is, teaching the English language
in their schools-and in short time the
English language would be the worlds lam
guage.

GOOD PLAYS.

Last Saturday evening a full house
greeted 1.-The Land of Nod" at the
opera house. 1t was one of the best of
the comic operas which has been given
in Wausau the past month. The seen
cry was beautiful to behold, and the
costumes gorgeous. The cast is headed
by William Norris, who created "Bur-
gomaster," king Dodo," the leading
comedy role in the "Congalee" and
"Alan" in Babes in Toyland." He
certainly sustained well his reputation
in this city The play does not depend
on tinsel and innumerable changes of
scenery, but upon the location, which
is dreamland, and the characters which
are entirely new stage creations, orig
inal and pleasing. People from the
earth and moon meet in this Land of
Nod'' domain of the sleep-giving Sand
man, and there is opportunity not only
for pretty play of fancy, but also for
agreeable humor. All were delighted
with the evenings entertainment.
Manager Cone is giving the theater
loving people of Wausau some of the
very best attractions that have ever
come to the city. With such list as
"The Girl and the Bandit" Tender
foot, Peggy From Paris" Sultan of
Sulu'' and ''The Land of Nod given
US during the past month, our people
cannot help but be thankful, and they
appreciate Mr. Cones efforts by filling
the house each time.
