SETTLED SMART YOUNG MAN.
"Camp-Meetine Johns" Smart Answer
to Flikpant Question.

Camp-meeting John Allen, the
grandfather of Madame Nordica, was
for many years a picturesque figure
among the Methodist ministers in the
state Of Maine. A mania for attending
camp-meetings was not his only dis
tinction. He was good deal of a
wag, and his utterances were much
appreciated by both saint and sinner.
At one time, having gone to Lewis
ton to attend quarterly meeting, he
was approached in the street by sew
eral young men who were evidently
out for a good time.
"Camp-meeting john said the
spokesman, "who was the devils
grandmother"
"The DEVILS grandmother" replied
the old man in the quick, sharp tone
so characteristic of his speech, "the
devils standardization do you ex-
pect me to keep your family rerord'"

This is not alone the only faux pas
committed against the Goldsmith
comedy. Even the esteemed New
York Herald on the occasion of the
announcement of the present tour
gravely referred to the play as having
been written by Richard Brinsley
Sheridan, and the next day the Phil
adelphia North American followed
suit. BY many persons "She Stoops
to Conquer is regarded as the work
of Clyde Fitch, and no amount of ar
gument will convince them to the
contrary. Quite recently in New
York an actor of some reputation ap
reared at the offices of Liebler & Co
and insisted he would like letter O
introduction to the author of the play
Mr.. George c. Tyler said he would b'
glad to write the letter if he could b'
certain the actor would deliver it IL

the Chicago Tribune has the follow

pals" the realistic comedy-drama
at the Majestic, is story in twenty
five minutes of the spark of love that
refuses to die; of the unfalthfulness
of "the best friend" and the woes
that occasionally follow overmeasured
good fellowship. 1t starts in with a
fine vein of comedy and naturally
leads up to the startling denoument.
Such a chaos of confusion as that
which filters the stage at the conclu-
sion of this well-acted and handsome
ly set play is seldom seen on the
stage. The spectators marvel that
the producers of the play can aHoro
to actually demolish so much perish
able material during the BRIEF time
of the playlet's action, twelve times
week. 1t is this frantic struggle be
tween two men and the wrecKage
which their angry passions leave
that makes "Pals" a play in one-ac
with a finish strong enough for

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Sept a.
After % days Of unsuccessful efforts
on the part Of the striking street car
employees to force the Kanawha Trac-
ton Co. to come to their terms, the
strike has been called of. The tFac-
ton company made no concessions,
and the action Of the men in declar.

ruling Of President Clinton, Of the
union that requested and was denied
recognition.
The strikers met and appointed a

with Mr.. E. W. Alexander, general
manager of the traction company, at
S o'clock in the afternoon. The com.
mlttee had an hour'ssconference with
Mr.. Alexander and, acting on the con-
ference, returned to the Elk Bank
hall, where their fellow workers were
assembled, and, in unanimous report,
recommended that the strike be called
of. A motion 10 that effect was put
and carried by a majority vote.
In the face Of this President Clln-
ton refused to declare the result.
After some discussion, another mo-
ton was put and 1t was decided by
a majority of the strikers to declare
the strike of over the ruling Of the
president.
Saturday night members Of the
same committee that had conferred
with Mr.. Alexander in the afternoon,
called on him at the Ruffner hotel,
reported the result of the meeting on
their recommendations and authorized
him to make the statement to the
newspaper, above their signatures,
that the strike was no longer in effect.
The strike Of a portion of the en-
ployes of the traction company be-
gan August 8, and was brought on by
