The story is one that is brimful of human nature. In the company that is to be seen surround ing Miss Adams are Arthur Byron, David Torrence. Fred Tyier. W.

Preaching Monkeys.

The author of "The History of Bra zir' tells of a species of monkey called preachers" Every morning and evening these monkeys assemble in the woods. One takes a higher posi- tion than the rest and makes a signal with his fore paw. At this~signal the others sit around him and listen. When they are all seated he begins to utter a series of sounds. When he stops these cries he makes another signal with his paw, and the others cry out until he makes a third signal, upon which they become silent again. This author, MT. NIaregrove, asserts that he was witness to these preachings.

Maude Adams in 'EWhat Every Wo- man KnoWS''


 man Knows
 Maggie wylie, the little Scotch wife in What Every Woman Knows" the Barrie comedy in which Maude Adams is to be seen at Jackson's Theatre this evening and in which she has scored her greatest success, typif1es the strongest traits of wo- manhood, her conduct being a com p1ete gospel on the meaning of wife hood. Yet the truth of it all comes out like those wonderful observations of childhood, which are encountered occasionally. There is such an utter lack of preachiness that a good many thoughtless people may find no up lifting in the working out of the story, but only a merlin ment that is duaint, whimsical and entertaining It is the supreme artistry of Barrie that compasses so much of breadth and depth without seeming to get below the surface of things. But the thing that every woman knows is clearly that her greatest opportuni- ties in life is to supply intuition and

A WONDERFUL EXHIBITION
OF HYPNOTISM

OF HYPNOTISM There was time when/ /hypnotism was laughed at and derided at by our so-ca1led wise people, but now that it is an acknowledged science by all leading scientists and medical colleges all over the world, we are beginning to sit up and take notice. The pAb- lie in general have taken a great in terest in this truly mysterious science, so much so that they have prevailed upon the mana cement of the Empire Theatre to secure the services of one of the best known and expert demon strators before the, public. Desiring they have contracted for the appear ance of the Original Sevenga1a. for the first three days next week, 1t would have been impossible to have secured a more proficient operator or demonstration than Sevengala, as he has been giving public demonstra tions for over g years, and a banner week s business is looked for during his en- gagement.

STEEL TRUST TO FOLLOW
Proposition to Increase Wages Is un.
der Consideration.

New York. March 3i-The managers
OF the United States Steel corporation
have under consideration a PROPOSE
ton 10 make a general advance In the
wages OF all employees other than high
salaried officers. The proposition be.
fore the gentlemen is a voluntary In.
crease similar to that declared by the
Pennsylvania railroad. What has been
done in regard to the proposition
could not be learned definitely.
President Corey said Il don't care
10 discuss IT, 1t is entirely too per.
sonal a matter"
Elsewhere II was learned that II has
already been decided 10 put into ef.
feet new and higher scales OF wages
in some plants or in some departments
OF all plants. From the same source II
was learned that the officers and direc.
tors consider a rather general advance
advisable. hut have not yet determined
on either the extent or the amount of
the advance.
The coming advance. If made, will
not be so radical. In 1902 10 per
cent increase was awarded to more
than 100000 men.
An increase OF per cent. such as
that declared by the Pennsylvania.
would mean an added expense of 49,.
100000 year, according TO the
amount disbursed In wages last year.
