ANIMALS MAKE A HIT
ON THE BURBANK STAGE

Eleanor Merron's bnoolic melodrama of
1.-THE Dairy Farm" was presented at the
Burbank yesterday and will continue
through the week. For the occasion the
Burbank company has been augmented
by the addition of two sheep, a horse.
a heifer, several hens, a rooster and a
dozen or so of extra people, as the
old-fashioned supernumeraries are now
called.
The dairy farm is situated a little
country village, some few miles from
"York." The period presented is that of
the SOS, when slavery was the great
political question of the day and when
women wore hoopskirts and pantalets.
The piece was written some seven or
eight years ago and was used by Miss
Merron on the road, the playwright her.
self appearing as Minty, the part played
at the Burbank by Miss Elsie Esmond.
It then met with considerable success
and apparently has lost none of its
former power to please, as big audience
yesterday afternoon seemingly enjoyed it
to the utmost.
or course "rhe Dairy FARM is not to
be regarded seriously. 1t tells melo-
dramatic story in a country setting and
lit serves to introduce several curious
character types which are well handled
by the company. There are one or two
elaring anachronisms In the staging. no.

Whitbeck, the peddler, uses In the third

Those Everlasting Stockings
However, there is no excuse for per-
mitting young woman to wear the
same pair of stockings for two years,
especially when they are of so striking
pattern and so literally displayed as
those of Miss Lolita Bronson.
In 1.-THE Dairy Farm A. Byron Beas-
ley plays Squire Harley, a choleric old
gentleman who drives his nephew annd
his sister from his door. because the
nephew refuses to marry money. persona
| fed by Miss Maud Gilbert Mr.. Beasley
gives an excellent and convincing inter-
probation of the role. OF course Des
mond is the nephew and of course he
marries Lucy, played by Blanche Hall,
and returns to the farm in time to pre-
vent its sale under the auctioneer' $
hammer Harry Mestayer is a village
peddler and again proves his ability in a
character role. Henry Stockbridge is a
country lout whose love for Elsie Es-
mond in the part of Minty is made suff,-
ciently ridiculous to delight the audience.
Willis Marks plays the village miser and
money lender. An excellent, well-round-
ed character is the Sarah Newkirk of
Louise Royce.
The story of the play is the familiar
stage story of a man who mortgages MS
homestead and who9is about to be evicted
by the villain when a relative whom he
had wronged steps in just IN time to
save him. Less stereotyped features are
the POLITICAL meeting in behalf of Ere
monts campaign for the presidency; the
Christmas eve merry-making in the
sauire's home, and the incident of the
runaway slave, who is betrayed back
into slavery by the miserly Crum only
to escape second time and kill his
betrayer.
The Burbank company appears to much
better advantage in this piece than they
did in the Clyde Fitch drama of last
week, and by the same token the Bur-
bank audience seemed to find the cur
rent offering much more to their liking

Certainly 1t is not comic opera, despite
the program announcement. Oh. the 9TH

lift it far above the ordinary run of mu-
stcal comedy, notably the "Suwanee

act. This is striking and musicianly
effort. in Which the old familiar air Is

exceedingly picturesque Moreover, the
San Francisco company's presentation of
the piece is equally as we'll staged and
much better sung than the original-at
least in its road form.
In nothing that the company has done
since coming to Los Angeles has the per-
sonnel been so well east as in this piece.
Cunningham is the Johnny-the best

Hemmi sings Kate Pemberton and her
songs, ''Fairylandn and Spring, Sweet

the production Both numbers were en-
cored time and again last night, until the
'prima donna virtually had to beg off.
Moreover Miss Beatty, as the widow.
shared in the musical honors of the night,
though she experienced some difficulty in
phrasing one of her numbers, which was
given at tempo somewhat beyond her
abilities.

Little Daphne Pollard played Cordelia
with a sprightliness and grace that made
the character altogether charming. Also
her duet with Mr.. Weiner, "'Twas Down
in the Garden of Eden" was so daintily
done that the audience not only pardoned
it's weakness musically but clamored In
sistently for more.
The chorus was at its best last night

Cunningham This comes in the first act
and is repeated at the close, just before
the final curtain. The theater manage
ment attempted to make this the feature
of the performance, and folded into the
programs a request to the audience 10
arise and join in the chorus The first
part of that request met with ready ac-
ceptance. The audience arose, struggled
into its wraps and dashed for the exits
almost before Cunningham had begun the
song.
Singers nowadays are used to this sort
of thing. 1t is, nevertheless, well nigh an
insult and about as unmannerly pro-
ceeding as can well be imagined. 1t takes
three minutes by the watch to empty the
Los Angeles theater Probably some of
the people last night got out in minute
and half. Doubtless the time saved was
sufficient to compensate them for an ex-
hibition of indecorum as Grass as 1t was
unnecessary.

WORKMEN BUSY ON IT
Building on Michigan Devoted to
Manufacture of Fertilizers Is
In Process of Razing.

The oldest landmark in the city of
Hammond; a building which citizens
of this city have grown so accustomed
to seeing at it's location on Michigan
avenue, that if it were removed, old
timers who had left a few years ago,
would be deprived of the last proof that
this was the Hammond that they had
known in former years, is being torn
down. The buildings previously occu-
pied by the spring factory are now
doomed Work has been begun on
their destruction by business inter
ests which in their effort to expand
and increase their facilities know on
mercy for the past history of this well
known group of sheds and crumbling
chimneys.
Many years before this location was
thought of as being suitable for a big
and prosperous city, a number of small
capitalists chose the banks of the
Grand Clumet river for the site Of a
small industry, engaged in the manu-
facture of fertilizers.
They continued to run the factory
here for some time until the residents
of the few scattered houses, who were
employed at the Hammond Packing

Teamsters and Team Own
ers Reach Satisfactory
Agreement.
MEETING last NIGHT
Concessions Made On Both Sides,
Strikers Receiving, However, the
Wages They Demanded.

At midnight last night the Team
Owners association signed a new con-
tract with the Teamsters' union at the
meeting in Roth's hall, thereby set
Ting one of the most disagreeable
strikes seen in Hammond for some time
The result was effected by compromise; ;
the cause in which both parties de-
manded n weeks notice before severing
business relations being striken out Of
the new agreement. This had been
the principle point of contention it
seems. and the satisfactory settlement
OF this question meant the ending of
the strike The employers agreed to
the advance IN wages from $12 to $14 a
week straight time for a team, and
from $40 to $12 for a single horse with
25 cents an hour over time. The team
owners who signed the contract pre-
vious to the compromise will have the
notice clause eradicated to conform to
the new agreement, so that there will
be but one contract existing between
the various owners and the union as
a body.
Work Progresses Nicely.
Aside from the exceptionally heavy
rush OF business, work is progressing
the same as usual this morning and all
of the participants in the recent strike
have forgotten about their strained
relations and seem to be working once
more for each others interests.
A man who owns one of the biggest
draying concerns in the city, stated
this morning that under the new scale
he would undoubtedly lose money on
some of his wagons He suggests that
his drivers take the outfit and see
a.
The draymen and contractors, are the
employers most affected, however. as
they have already made contracts
which they must live up to. notwith-
standing the increase in the cost to
themselves in their fulfillment.
NO violence" was the policy of the
union men during the strike. There
were several small quarrels it is true,
but they were not ordered or sane
toned by the union as a body, but
were the acts of individuals of the
union each one of which they could
not watch and control Both parties
undoubtedly deserve a great deal OF
credit for the quiet manner in which
the contention was carried on, and set
tied.
When seen this morning a number OF
carpenters belonging to the local un-
ion deny the charge that this body
advised Golden Bros. not to sign the
contract. presented by the teamsters
but that it was merely the private
opinion of several OF their members
Golden Bros. substantiated the claim
but said that the men had given that
impression individually. They also
stated that 1t was not a member of the
firm involved in the assault case
against Fred Stelow, but the victim ot
the assault in which the driver was
an employe of one of their wagons. was
dragged from his seat while on his way
to a north side depot.

FELLOW BOARDER HELD
Money Found on Accused Fails
to Correspond With Sum
That Was Lost.

South Chicago. June 7.-(SpeciaD
Because George Petrott, zoos Green
Bay avenue, did not put his savings in
a bank, he is out 1851. Petrott who
is a Slavonian laborer in the Steel
works, kept his money in a trunk, and
last Monday night he took it out to
gaze at 1t, and negligently left it ly-
ing on his bed. An hour later he went
to his room and the money was miss
ing, as well as a watch Petrott re-
covered the watch from Joseph Medel-
10, a fellow boarder, who stated that
he had taken the timepiece in a joke.
Petrott subsequently got suspicious
and had Medello arrested for the lar
ceny of the money. Medello was about
to leave the boarding house when the
arrest was made. and a search of his
person by Detective Hallicki. the ar
resting officer, developed that he had a
sum of money corresponding to the
amount lost. On a trial of the case
this morning, Judge Girten discharged
the defendant on the ground of insult
ficient evidence. as the bills found by
Detective Hallicki did not correspond in
denomination with those lost by Pet
rott.
A funny feature of the case was the
anxiety of the attorney representing g
MedelIo to recover his fee. Hold that
man. he hasn't paid me yet" shouted
the lawyer to Lieutenant Smith.
Cant do it," said the lieutenant
He has been discharged by the court
However Medello's money was in
the possession of the desk sergeant, and
the lawyer got to it at the desk.

CATHOLIC CHURCH
FOR WEST HAMMOND
A $4,000 Structure to be
Erected to Accommo-
date Romanists.

IF plans materialize West Hammond
will have a new Catholic church that
will cost in the neighborhood of fif-
teen or twenty thousand dollars.
Yesterday several prominent busi-
ness men from the village went to Chi
cago where they conferred with Arch
bishop Quigley upon establishing a
church in West Hammond and he is
quoted as saying that as soon as he
could get a priest to look over the sit
@uatiSn in the village he would I'M
mediately take action on the matter
and before the committee left they Sc
cured his promise TO take the matter
up. with the result that it looks like a
sure thing.
There are now over eco Catholic
families in West Hammond and who not
desiring to attend the Polish Catholic
church, are compelled TO come Ham
mond.
To BE Built on North Side.
The new church will be erected some
where on the north side and viii bt
constructed of brick throughout.
Already the matter has been talkee
over among the various families
throughout the village and all have
expressed themselves as being willing
to contribute towards the fund for es
tsbIishing the structure.
The Catholics over the village were
enthusiastic over the news. Their,
seems to be no doubt that the pro,
posed church will, within few months
