FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week December goth, the drama tic
treat of the season, Elsie Ferguson, in
Charming Pollock's successful comedy
SUCH A LITTLE QUEEN,
direct from 200 nights at the Racket
Theatre, New York.
One of the very best stage offerings of
the current Metropolitan season and its
greatest success "Such Little Queen"
comes next week direct from it's notable
New York triumph. The comedy is by
far the best Charming Pollock has writ
ten and well worthy the capital cast with
which Henry B. Harris has provided it,
including the charming young actress
Elsie Ferguson who has so desertedly
won popularity and the right of stardom,
her performance of the title role is in
every particular ideal, beside her i'm
pressive art of pleasing Miss Ferguson
has magnetic personality that wins her
friends.
The play is full of brightness and
effective situations and women every
where will like it.. The theme is novel,
entertaining in quality, and clean and
wholesome in character. The plot is 70
monte and revclves around the fortunes
of Queen Anna Victoria of Herzegovina,
to live simply in a Harlem Flat. She is
accompanied by her prime minister, and
they try to earn an honest living in a
New York business Office copying letters
and doing other clerical work. The nov
city of the idea of royalty working as do
every day Americans proves attractive.
The comedy is in four acts laid in and
near New York city, and staged by

kilns are situated near the w., F. & G.

LINCOLN A FRIEND OF LABOR
EmancipatOr Hated All Distinctions
of Glass Based on Wealth.
Rev. John Willis Cooke Delivers Ad-
Before Peoples Church.

Lincoln as the friend OF labor was
the subject OF an address given by Rev.
John Willis Cooke. OF Wakefield Mass.
at the Peoples Church. in the Pythian
Temple. yesterday morning.
The address is the first OF a series OF
four which DIT. Cooke VIII deliver upon
successive Sundays, upon the invitation Of
the congregation. It follows. IN part:
Lincoln was greatly human. a man
OF the people IN the bTosdest meaning OF
that expression He hated ali class dis
unctions. scorned ali advantages based
on political and economic Injustice. and
despised the men who sought in any form
10 make traffic Of the labor of their fei-
lows. black or white. He was wholly op-
posed 70 the theory that some men BY
birth and training are fl 10 govern and
that the mass Of the people are incapa-
bic OF guiding the affairs Of the nation.
Regarding freedom OF labor. he said.
in 1sd0. in a speech at New Haven: We
do not propose any war upon capgtaI
but We do wish 10 allow the humblest
man an equal chance to get rich with
everybody else He called the system
that subjects men 10 others the mud
silI theory. and expressed the utmost con-
tempt Tor Il as morally wrong and eco
aomicaliy unjust.
In his first message 70 Congress.
speaking OF the theory that labor Is
alone available in connection with CAPT
tai. he said Labor is prior 20 and in
dependent OF capital Capital IS only the
fruit OF labor Labor Is he sg-
perior OF capital, and deserves much the
I higher consideration In his address at
Hartford. IN ISS0 he thanked God that
We have a system OF labor where there
can be a strike.
In the Douglas debate at GaleSburg he
quoted Jefferson as saying that judges
are as honest as other men, and not more
so. He also referred to him as saying.

FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW

OF the If.oo0 who pledged themselves 70
live as Jesus would were He on earth
to-day, some will undoubtedly hnd the
week a stepping stone to better living.
Il Is \ novelty that has an appealing
force. and after seven days Of Weighing
each act BY a personal standard any
person Of decided character IS bound 10
feel the influence for a lifetime The

OF permanent converts. even while he
realized that the promise was made TN

course. A feminine stenographer IN an
other large city says that she could not
keep such a pledge and hold her posi-
ton because she IS forced 10 write the
untruths which come from her employ
er's lips. An outsider cannot judge for
the girl. because there is the necessity
Of living TO consider and the fact that
good-paying positions are not plentiful
But because she cannot keep one detail
OF the pledge is no reason why she should
not try to live BY the others. She is al
ready breaking one rule by complaining.
We need something TO put Us in a hap
pier frame Of mind. We need 20 Oe
taught TO and joy in living. TO smile
rather than frown. 60 work al our best
and look forward with faith and hope.
We need 70 be kept from complaining.

who does even a little toward making
