A Revolution in Theatrical Perform
 anRAc

ances.
 Up until the last few years-and very few at that-a stage was stage, and everybody connected with the same was "show-man" or an "actor" A person would remark about another, "Oh. he's with the show" and, in the estimate of the general public, that put the lady or gentleman or lady i'll question on quite a low basis com pared with the general American per son. In later years, however, all this has changed Acting has become an art, and is recognized as such by the best people in the land, even the old variety performances have at tracted such proper attention that the old variety performer" is now al most unknown. and the new "vaude- ville' has taken is place. So all the way through an actor or actress is an artist as much so as the man that paints the beautiful landscape in miniature, copies our features on can. vas or sculptures our form out of mar ble. This fact is now recognized The landscape and portrait painter acts out On canvas what the real actor does on the stage, only, in reality, the actor has the best-or- worst-of it: he does it in person. The painter of the picture puts in few hours of his time. His personal liberty is his own. The actor on the stage not only puts in his regular time in study, re- hearsal, etc, but must actually DOT troy himself the character he is at- tempting to represent. Which is the more artistic? The artist who paints Or the artist who not only paints, dresses and makes up" for the char acter he is to portray and then acts the part with other characters throughout an entire play written by, probably, person he never saw? The vaudeville performers are also recog- nized TOW as artists. Why? Because they amuse.
 MT. Conlon, the manager of the Tolson Stock company, has attempted to please all classes-those who wish the artistic and those who wish the moments pastime. He has not tried tp do this with one company. but has put two companies in one. He has the best travelling dramatic stock com

PRESIDENT AND THE CANAL.
A Message to Congress Says II viii
Be Dug Sooner and Cheaper, Etc.

Washington, Jan. S.-The president
today transmitted to congress mes
sage on the annual report of the 18TH
milan canal work The president says
work on the isthmus is being admir-
ably done, and great progress has
been made. "All the work says the
president, a" so far has been done not
only with the utmost expedition but
in the most careful and thorough man
ner, and what has been accomplished
gives us reason to believe that the
canal will be dug in shorter time than
had been anticipated and at an expen-
diture within the estimated amount"
The president speaks of various
publications purporting to give an ac-
count of jobbery, or immortality. or
inefiiciency, or misery as obtaining on
the isthmus. All charges worthy of at
tention have, he says, been examined
carefully. "In every instance he de-
clared, accusations have proved to
be without foundation, in any shape
or form" He says charges spring
from statements Of irresponsible in
vestigators of sensational turn OF
mind or with individuals with a per-
sonal grievance.
The president says any attempt to
cut the salaries of Isthmian canal com
missioners would be ruinous. He said
he courted the fullest investigation
of acts of members of the commission
and promised that wrong doers would
be punished promptly.

New York Cotton Letter.
(By McIntyre)


The market broke II points in
early trading today on a contin-
nation of selling movement for
both local and southern ac-
counts, with Wall Street and
Liverpool also large sellers.
This movement was undoubted
ly a continuation of short sell
ing and liquidation of Saturday,
influenced by the very dissap-
pointing report of National
Ginners Association with its re-
vised figures, showing 1854, 000
bales of the crop ginned up to
Jan. /.
In this decline, the January
option was sold down to II OF,
March 1873, May 11.47 and
July 1852. The market would
have gone still lower under the
outside selling, but for the most
prominent spot dealers turning
up large buyers of March option
and some of the biggest shortr
in the market running to coves
to secure their profits.

KEEP CONTRACT SECRET.

President Frank ~ Cleeton. presi-
dent Of the local typographical union,
has announced that there will be no
strike here for the eight-hour day. He
gives as the reason that while many
Of the shops here would be willing
to accept the eighthour day, yet in
seven of them the local union has
contracts calling for a nine-hour day.
These do not expire until October 1,
1907, and We intend to stand by them,
To seek a change in the others would
be unfair" GIr .. ats ya
This high and honorable sentiment
among union men Is In grateful con
trast with the wearying succession of
cases where unions have deliberately
broken their contracts when II suit.
ed them, without regard to the right
or justice Of the act 1t has come to
be a popular supposition that the aver.
age union contract is worthless in.so-
far as II affects the union men them
itate to hold the employers to such
agreements. That a union should vol.
unfairly uphold the sacredness of con.
tract in the interest of fairness and
honesty is Of itself sufficient to arouse
favorable comment.
This position of the local printers is
all the more commendable in the light
Of the general strike that has been
called in some parts of the east %
force employers to adopt the eight
hour law. According to The secretary
of the local union, there are 339 cit rs
i'm this country where the eight-hour
day is observed, and in only sixty
eight cities is there continuance Of
the nine-hour day It would seem a
favorable opportunity for the print
ers of Kansas City to join the strike
! in the enforcement of the eight-hour
day. Their refusal to do so should be
placed to their credit in the negotia-
tions tat will come up when the pres
ent contracts, thus respected, expire.
In none of the crafts belonging to
the American Federation of Labor is
there more intelligent leadership than
in the typographical union. Printers
are usually honorable in carrying out
their contracts. It is this quality that
makes them so strong. Employers
know that while there may be contro-
versies as to the bases OF contracts,
that once a contract is entered into
1t is in most cases respected and up
held. And the result has been that for
so vast an organization there have
been comparatively few strikes
among the printers and they occupy
a high Ilace in public confidence and
esteem. If other unions would follow
this example it would do much to
avert the unfortunate labor struggles
that so frequently occur.-Kansas
