A MUCH DISCUSSED PLAY
Clyde Fitch's Last Play, "The City,

Clyde Titch's last play 1.-THE City"
which the Messrs Shubert are sending
to the Calumet theatre next Monday
night. Sept. 12, with the original I.y
ric Theatre cast and production. has
accustomed more discussion than any
purely American play. due in main, TO
the interest impelling story and the
phase of village and city life which
is presented i'm a manner likely to-
arouse debate.
The New York World spoke editori-
ally OF the play in the following way:
"A posthumous play by Clyde Fitch

not produce they certainly develop the
finest and keenest intelligence that we

Some OF the BLACKLIST crimes are
committed in the country. Conan

his best stories, point out this fact The
country man is not more honest than
the city man, although he may lack
the opportunities. Flaubert and Balzac
have drawn grim pictures of sordid

Tolstoy has done as much for Russia
and Sudermann Isben and Hardy have
told similar black stories of their own
countries"

Y. M. C. A. Is DOING MUCH
TO AID The IMMIGRANTS

That the usefulness of the Young
Mems Christian Association is not
confined to furnishing physical Gull
ture and social diversion is shown by
the good work now being done among
immigrants
The Industrial department of the as
ISOLATION has recently taken over this
work, which was formerly handled by
New York association. Special sec
retaries, stationed at the ports of
embarkation, give the immigrants let
tiers of introduction to the associa-
lions in the cities or towns where they
are going upon their arrival. Other
secretaries are waiting to help them
in the new country: they are given all
possible information and aid board
ing houses are looked up, and very Of
ten employment secured. Many a
young foreigner owes his start in
tended by the association when he
first came over"
Men are constantly arriving with
Introduction cards. When these cards
are presented. the officers of the To-
cal association are more than glad to
give assistance in getting the men To-
Gated.
When asked about the work that
the association is doing for the immi-
grants an officer of the association
said: MANY instances can be cited
where men have secured comfortable
lodgings and employment through the
efforts of the association. One of the
prime objects of the organization
throughout the world is to be of real
service to the workman, and the as
ISOLATION Is fast becoming more eff
fective i'm this service, as the work.
ingman recognizes it's aid by serving
on committees and taking an active
part in the different departments Dur
ing the past few months a number of
immigrants, who had just arrived in
the city. have called on us, to pre-
sent their cards. We had a case the
other day of a man who came from
England. He received a card as soon
as he landed in New York, and when
he reached Ishpeming he came di-
rect to our headquarters. We hap
pened to know friends of his in the
city and we took him to them. The
next day the man was taken out to
one of the mines where he secured
employment. We are only too glad to
help these people. The association is
doing a great deal of good along this
line and the work is being very gen
orally taken up by the officers where
branches are maintained"

on legislation was named. Rev. Luth-
er X. Long (chairman), Mrs. william

Salisbury, the secretary. showing that
the association is now looking after a
total OF between $50 and 400 cases.
Seycnty-five cases were handled
during the month, of which there
We're 16 new cases. Most OF these
cases were OF widows who were with
out help. In two or three cases the
head OF the home was incapacitatel
from work, and relief badly needed.
Miss Salisbury stated this morning
that since the opening of school n big
difference had been noted in the work
of the association especially among
children. Although number of pairs
of shoes, and stockings were donated,
as well as clothes, it was found nee
essary to purchae from local stores
no less than so pair of new shoes. as
well as a quantity of stockings and
underwear. Gifts of shoes, stockings,
underwear, etc, for both children and
grown persons, will be much appre-
ciated. Miss Salisbury stated that
there have been quite a number of
street beggars working in Calumet
recently. She told of one case, that
of a young girl. a deaf mute, aged
about II years. who had been using
a typewriter letter supposedly signed
by businessmen and a notary public
from st. Joe, Mich, to solicit SYM
patty. The Associated Charities In
vestigated the case and found the let
ter To be q forgery. The local as
ISOLATION succeeded in forcing the girl
to cease begging in Calumet This,
is only one of the many instances
where the local charities association
has been doing a good work by pre-
venting fraud on the public. A num-
Der of similar instances might b.
cited, so it behoves local people to
beware of strange beggars.

The simple little foulard frock,
short enough to trot about in, yet
made handsome enough to meet the
requirements of any occasion by a
tunic of chiffon. is the dominant style
note of the summer. Many changes
have been rung on this idea, none
more attractive than the dainty cos
tune pictured-a violet and white
checked foulard, yelled with wistaria
chiffon on which is a border design
of counched rattail trimming. Bands
of violet velvet outlining collar and
sleeves give emphasis to the delicate
wlstaria tone of the chiffon tunic.
but the crochet buttons are in the
pale lavender tint. The tunic, with
drawn in skirt and a bolero top fall
ing over the foulard girdle, is decid-
edly chic.

LAURIUM
BREWERS MUST
HAVE LICENSES
LAURluM COUNCIL WILL STOP
RETAILING By BREWERS
WHO PAY ONLY WHOLE
SALE LICENSES.

Nlllase Attorney l.. III. u Brleh was
authorized at the regular monthly
meeting Of the Laurium council last
evening, to notify brewing companies
which have warehouses I'm Laurium
and who retail beer. to cease retailing
or take out the regular retail licen-
ses. Only three days were given the
brewers to take action. This mat
ter has been investigated for some
time. and opinions of the attorney
general of the state were secured as
to what construction might be placed
on retail and wholesale liquor bust
ness. Similar inquiry has been made
by a number of other villages in the
upper peninsula but as far as can be
ascertained, Laurium is the first viii
lagc that has taken definite action
There are several legal questions
| involved, however. which the village
attorney is now investigating. Lau-
rum has twenty-four saloons, the full
number allowed under the provisions
of the Warner Champion act, which
| limits the number of saloons to one
for every five hundred inhabitants.
The law provides however, that the Ii
censes of saloonists who were in
business when the law went into
effect, may be renewed even though
the total number exceeds the above
ratio, although no licenses may be is
sued to saloonists. until the total

| Six years ago, when the last state
census was taken, Laurium had a
1 population in excess OF 5000 which
would make IL possible for more IL
censes to be issued. 1t is not likely
however that the population figures
for the village will be officially made
public until after January l. In the
meantime the matter rests in the
hands of the village attorney.
The council considered the petition
of the Houghton County Traction
company for the extension of the pond
water mains to the Lauriu car barn.
Although the traction company agreed
to pay one-half of the expense of this
extension, the trustees of the village
were of the opinion that other parts
of the town are more in need of this
improvement than the section con-
sidered and decided that nothing could
be done at present.
Attorney O'Brien was instructed to
take the necessary legal steps to force
property holders to comply with TIM
ordinance recently passed demanding
that all residents make proper con-
nections with the village sewers. Tho
question of enforcing the bill board
ordinance which was passed at the
same time as the sewer ordinance
was held under advisement.
The warrant on the tax roll was ex-
tended until Oct. H.
Justice of the Peace David Armii
reported the collection of $22 In fines
during the past month.
A committee was named to secure
bids and order the winter supply OF

scented and read at the Laurium vii
