new and beautiful playhouse, the Iro-
Quois. But Chicago, and the whole
country, learned it's lesson in the Iro-
quois holocaust, and the new theater
building has real rather than make
believe precautions for safety.
The building is detached on all sides,
this desirable condition existing in
only one other theater in the city. 1t
is most solidly constructed, has been
1s months in building. The progress
of the structure has engaged the atten-
ton of every passer-by the last year
and half, and now at last the long,
narrow sky-scraper is completed.
The first night Of a new play is usu-
ally gala occasion, and the opening
Of a new theater an event of impor-
lance. The night the Majestic was
formally opened the house was crowd-
ed to the doors, and many people
turned away. From the moment Of
entrance the observers saw naught but
picture of beauty; the soft rose COL
oring Of the walls; the pleasing olive
Of the upholstering; the marble vain
scoting; the lights, now soft, now daz-
cling in radiance; all fairyland of
delight.
When one considers that this splen-
did theater is to be given over wholly
to vaudeville, one takes back the dec
iaration made some time ago that the
modern variety show had had its day,
and would shortly be but a name.

RUN ON A CHICAGO BANK
JACKSON TRUST SUFFERS FROM
RECENT FAILURE.
Cash Brought from Other Institutions
Saves the Day-Payments Are
Made Promptly.

Chicago, Feb. 2l.-Heavy withdraw
ais from the Jackson Trust and Saw
lngs bank, brought about by the fail
ure of the Bank of America and the
Creelman interests, began Tuesday.
Depositors began demanding their
money as soon as the doors of the
bank opened. Several police officers
formed the crowd up in line extend
ing through the main corridor of the
premises. By noon the crowd num-
bered 400 depositors, and by night
the line had grown considerably. An
ticipating run, the bank officials
made hasty calls upon other finan-
cial institutions for aid.
Messengers We're hurriedly dis
patched to the Continental National
and the American Trust and Savings
banks, where the Jackson Trust has
been carrying quite extensive accounts.
The messengers were taken into the
Offices of the presidents of the re-
spective banks and large bundles of
bills We're carried from the vaults to
the Offices. There they were wrapped
i'll newspapers and the messengers res
turned to the Jackson Trust. In this
manner more than 100000 was taken
from the two banks through La Sale
street and the crowds In jackson
boulevard. One package from tho
Continental. it is said, contained $780,
900. Fresh arrivals poured into the
main corridors oi the Railway Ex-
change building during the forenoon,
and there lined themselves in two
rows. More than 100000 was paid
out in the first hour. Joy Morton,
one Of the directors of the bank. tele-
phoned from New York. When in.
formed of the conditions he said he
would return at once.
The bank closed its commercial de-
partment at three p. NJ, but the saw
ings department was kept open I'M
til five o'clock in the evening. Cash
Ter Lawton said: I'VE are not going to
take shelter in the 60-day savings
bank rule. All depositors will be paid
as rapidly as possible" The street
in front Of the Railway Exchange
building, in which the bank is To-
Gated, was filled by an excited crowd.
Fist fights were frequent and sey-
eral persons were injured.
Numerous bankers from various parts
of the city visited the bank during the
morning and sat in conference with
the officer of the Jackson Trust.
Investigation into the affairs of the
Jackson Trust and Savings bank on
account of the failure of the Bank OF
America was rumored Tuesday. 1t was
reported that State Bank Examiner
g. g. Jones had entered the banks Of
fees in the Railway Exchange build
ing and demanded the books. It is
known the bank will be loser through
paving loaned money to F. B. ereel-
man.

question, put forth a book, '"The Leis-
ure Glass;" book which the feminine
world appears just to have discovered.
In 1t femininity gets some pretty Sc
we're blows, but all done very neatly
and scientifically. We have not read
the book as a whole, but from that
part of it we have perused we gather
that the average woman leads pretty
wasteful life, an inept life. Consider
ing the money and time she has put on
dress, what has been evolved after say
couple of thousand years of expendi-
tnre of the so precious time and mon
ey? Nothing, and worse than nothing.
Styles to-day are not so artistic, not so
becoming, as those back 1000 years
ago. She has arrived at mo types of
apparel eminently becoming to the hui
man form
Her (woman's) wasteful expenditure
and "abstention from effort" make her
(woman) economically dependent, re-
duce her to a relation Of "servitude to
man." Think of that. Futile, and
slave! Also he calls her chief bar
barian."
And above everything else wasteful.
These inartistic, unbecoming clothes
involve endless cost compared with
the simplicity and charm of the Greek
costume. Charming and simple cos
tunes history shows to have been
worked out by the poorer folk; the
meaningless complexity and display by
the leisure class. And this brings us
to the point we started to arrive at;
that femininity, once gone enthusiasts
tic after Charles Wagner and the SIM
pie life, is now showing tendency to
worship at the shrine of the man who
has been calling such names; we may
expect to grow aweary of the phrase
"Veblen and the wasteful life" The
Chicago branch of the Women's Assoc
citation of Collegiate Alumnae is at
present weighing the pros and cons Of
Veblenism. To confess, probably most
people have felt, in hazy and unsci-
entifics way, the thoughts that the POI
litical economy professor has set forth
SO pointedly; and mayhap continual
meditating on the wasteful life will
bring us to renewed interest in the
simple life.

DEADLY EXPL osIoN,
Thirteen Men Are Killed in a Dis-
aster in Mine in
Colorado.

Walsenburg, Col, Feb. 21.-An ex-
plosion in the Victor Fuel company's
Maitland mine caused the death of at
least ID miners, and perhaps 16. Short
ly before eight o'clock there was an
explosion in the part of the Maitland
known as the Sunshine, which caused
the earth to tremble for miles around
Soon afterward a man ran out and
reported that the mine was on fire.
The explosion caused fall of rock
from the roof and until this is cleared
a way it will not be known positively
just how many s,nore are yet in the
mine. 1t is certaiR, however, that any
found there will be past help. The ex.
plosion was caused by gas and the
deaths were caused by the gas and
afterdamp.

for us an experiment, and if it prove
successful we shall have established in
our midst theater whose purpose will
be not unlike that of the Chicago Or
chestra ball, the Theodore Thomas
hall, where high ideals rule. The Chi
cago Orchestra has done much to i'm
prove the musical taste of the city; it
is the hope that a theater devoted
wholly to high-class dramatic produc-
tons shall further improve the taste
of the people of Chicago.
The plan is to lease theater-to be
built in the near future as an addition
to the new building of the Chicago
Musical college-for the season of
19067 for term of 80 weeks, and in
that period to have presented differ
ent play every two weeks; "the plays
selected from the best standard dra-
mas or from such contemporary drama
rs may seem worthy of production"
1t will be unique theater, only the
plays of the masters to be given. The
idea of this ideal theater originated
with group of young society men,
DESTROYS of having Chicago stand for
something artistic, something apart
from its reputed hard practicability.
But the young men have looked we'll
to the practical side of their adven-
ture, and much the same plan has
been pursued in financing the new
theater as was employed when the Or
chestra hall success was worked out
Hundreds of persons have been invit-
ed to subscribe for from two to six
seats for performances on a special
evening Of each week, and by these
special season tickets certain sum is
guaranteed; the promoters are willing
to assume much of the burden, but
frankly acknowledge, while the thing
is no commercial venture, yet they are
unwilling to face the possibility of a
heavy deficit at the close of the sea-
son. Response has been most enthusi-
astic, and the ideal theater" is
awaited.

Primary Fight Grows Heated.

That the fight on the proposed pri-
mary system to give the people a
chance to dominate their own officers
is growing heated-and that the de-
tenders have reached state of some
desperation-may be judged from the
Macedonian cry which seems to have
gone up to the delegation at Washing
ton. The primary elections bill has
been reported to the senate, and went
on the calendar without special order
being fixed. 1t is probable that it will
be made a special order soon. 1t is
understood the house committee on
elections will take up the measure this
week. The substitution by the COM,
mittee of sections which eliminate the
necessity for registration at the gem
eral elections is an effort to have so
remodeled the bill as to make it pop
ular.
