One Hundred Dollars Cleared for
Marian BIeak1ey Fund.

One hundred dollars was cleared
for the Marian Bleakley fund by the
trolley ride of last evening. Twenty
three car loads-almost classic that

the subdued laughter of the grown
glee of the younger folk. Big Vine
wood cars and the smaller kind were
used-the cars being stationed on
Jackson street between Fifth and
Seventh streets from which point the
start was made shortly after 8
O'Clock. There were not enough cars
to accommodate the crowd. The
trolley ride took them over all the
lines of the system and 1t was not I'M

the barns. It is probable that the
amount of 500 cleared may be even
increased since the tickets sold have
not all been counted as yet and
will not until some time Monday.
The cost attending the promotion
of the ride amounted to $3.50

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood

it is the fault of the nerves

London, Sept. with the return
of King Edward from Marienbad and
that of other notables who have been
sojourning on the continent, Septem-
Der will usher in renewed social ac-
tiyities in London Several brilliant
affairs have been scheduled for this
month.
In theatrical circles, too, the in
fiuence of autumn is already being
manifested, and the season now open
ing promises much in the way of new
productions. One of the most impor-
tant of these will be the production
by Mr. Bourchier at the Garrick The
atre of a new play by Alfred Sutro
entitled Making a Gentleman Mr.
Bourchier and Miss Ethel Irving will
appear in the principal characters.
The final rehearsal was held today,

Urge Desertion.
Several Socialists and labor leaders
of England are in attendance this
week al the session of the Interna-
tional Trades Union in Paris. One of
the principal events of the meeting
was the organization of an interna-
tional anti-militarist congress, which
openly announces it purpose to
evolve some practical means for the
promotion of desertion among soldiers
OF all nations when war is declared.
This un-patriotic society has met with
the opposition of the more conserva-
tive labor leaders, among them Mr..
GOmpers of America
Mr.. Gompers will return to Eng
land this week to take part in the
session of the British Trades Union
Congress, which opens at Ipswich on
Monday next. 1t is likely that he will
spend much of the month here and
will sail from Rotterdam for America
on September %.
Since his arrival on this side Mr..
GOmpers has been enjoying what is
known as "a buSman's holiday"
When a London omnibus driver takes
day off it is supposed that he spenIs
it riding around on the top of a
friends bus, seeing how he does
things. That is the way Gompers is
spending his holiday. Since he land
ed here he has been rushing round
from labor headquarters to labor
headquarters seeing how the labor
men do things, and getting points fOr
use on his return to America
Asked about the difference between
the English and the American trade
unions GOmpers said that he found
English organization superior TO
those at home in some respects ana
inferior in others He thougrt that
the benefit features Of The English
union were much in ad.ance OF those
Of the Amer!can organizations, wdie
the Ame.t. IN unions he c;as.d crei -

poses. He paid high tribute to the
English labor leaders "They IA ali
men of intelligence. - he said i have
not met one who is not above the av-
erage," but when he was asked how
they compared os to strength and
forcefulness with the leaders of labor
at home he replied: We'll they
have had their fights on this side,
haven't they?"

DERS, PERA HOUSE
NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT
MARCH 80.

In view Of the constant misrep-
reservations imposed upon conf
ding public by many so-called ma
gicians whose cleverness is limited
to few juggling feats, ETC., the
management desires to impress the
fact that this attraction is not to be
enormously confounded with any
such, but that it is as represented
strictly high-ciasS entertainment,
meriting the very best patronage.
The stage equipment is elaborate,
beautiful and expensive, carrying
all their own draperies, curtains,
carpets, nickeled tables, chairs,
stools, etc; in fact, everything
requisite for the correct presentation
of the latest in magic and illusions
much Of which is original with and
performed only by Prof. Walden.
Furthermore that there is not sim
gle misrepresentation. Prof Walden
has his own stage manager, who sees
to the proper placing of the parap-
hernalia and accessories used in the
entertainment.
Note-During the process of the
entertainment it will be necessary to
borrow from the audience such arti-
cles as watches, rings hats etc. The
audience is requested, therefore to
comply with the request cheefully,
as h program is so long it
will not permit of tedious waits
for the articles and if not
forthcoming it will be necessary tc
dispense with the number and go or
with the next one, as Mr. Walder
cannot use his own articles for the
experiment. Magicians find all sorts
of queer things in hats, Therefore
Mr.. Walden ask the ladies please no.
to wear their hats. A scarf or fasci.
