A PHILOSOPHIC TRAMP.

Webster says the definition of the word tramp" as applied to a human being is a foot traveller, stroller, vagrant. vagabond. Any one of the above terms would apply to Weary Willie" the tramp in "The Convict Daughter, one of the most powerful dramatic plays by an American au- thor ever produced in this country. But the author has departed from the old conventional lines and made the character a noble one, and on high CT grade than the usual stage tramp.

THoRNs AND ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

There are more tears and laughter in the four acts of Bertha M. Clay's powerful story, "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" than any play on the road this season. It will be seen at POTTS this afternoon and evening. It is a notable fact that most critics in re- viewing the comedy drama lay par ticular stress on this feature. one writer in the Chicago Tribune said: "'Thorns and Orange Blossoms is a play of the kind that leaves a mem- orv: it is simnle in construction, strong in dramatic climax, hilarious ly funny anu pathetically sad: in a word it is a story of laughs and tears.'"

Case For Finesse.

The defense in the present trial is insanity at the time Stanford White was killed. In making out this case it will require delicate handling to show that Thaw was SO mentally deranged at that time as not to know the ma ture or quality of his act and at the same time show that be is now men tally sound.

THE TARIFF HEARING.

Washington, Nov 30.--Being deter
mined to bring before it those who
have criticized the hearings looking tn
revision of the tariff and bcirg salts
fed that there is much important in
formation to be obtained before the
framing Of an impartial tariff bill can
committee OF the House will request
Congress to authorize the committee
to subpoena witnesses To aplcar at
supplementary hearings on talff re-
visions. While the committee has been
holding sessions which have lasted late
into the night and although witnesses
have in most cases been unrestricted
as to time for the presentation of ar
gumcrts, much time has been wasted
and too frequently but one side of the
question has been presented to the
committee. Witnesses have been in
many cases also entirely unprepared
to furnish the committee with ade
quatc information as to comparative
cost Of labor in this country and
abroad.
j. w. Van Cleave. president of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
and c. H. Miles, chairman Of the Tar
if Commission of the same organiza :
ton, have frequently attacked the
methods used by the committee for S.
curing information by which to be
guided in the proposed REIMBURSEMENT
of the tariff. Chairman Payne of the
commission has strongly resented the
attacks of the manufacturers and the
request to Congress for the right to
subpoena witnesses is understood to
be directed mainly at Mr.. Van Cleave
and Mr. Miles, who have not appeared
before the committee despite special
mutations from the chairman.
:. IA, v shes Of the committee to get
tir I'D s WITH regard to tariff re-
>lun have frequently been reiterated
oy Chairman Payne, for the ''stand
oatters," Champ Clark for the minor
ty members of the committee and by
several Republican members who are
understood to represent the views OF
President elect Taft The desire for
authority to subpoena witnesses and to
hold as many hearings as will be found
necessary is therefore practically unan-
imous During the hearings it has be
.ome evident that the various factions
in the House are united on the one
proposition to pass a bill that will en-
body a thorough and impartial revl-
sion Of the present tariff law. 1t Will al
so include a careful reimbursement OF
he wording and provisions in order to
eliminate any possibility Of misinterp-
rotation by the courts. II there is any
opposition TO a thorough revision of
the tariff schedule it is generally be
lieved that it will develop after the
bill has been passed by the House and
reaches the Senate.

and equipment. The work is understood
to be masterpiece of its kind Ihe
now tunnel was planned chiefly to relieve
the congestion of Washington street, the
principal business thoroughfare or the
CITY. under which it passes Motive pow
er is supplied by the third rail system
A number of accidents occurred during
tbe dav as the result of the new trans
nortation conditions the most serious be-
ing the death of a carpenter employed
on the work of changing the platforms
at Dudley street. who fell and struck on
his head.
Several mirror accidents took place at
the state street station, where the new
