amount 10 about $4,000.
Best Facilities Provided.

The company intends also to see to it
that not only what will be placed on the
stage will interest and entertain the pub
lie, but that the theater will be attractive
to the eye. comfortable and with the
best facilities both for ingress and egress.
There is to be a broad lobby extending
along the entire front and marked by
an arcade. From this lobby there will be
doors opening directly to the main floor,
with ample spaces on each side, from
which numerous doors open directly into
the auditorium.
There is to be a balcony. Am unusual
feature will be a row of mezZanine boxes,
which will be directly in front of the
balcony, but dropped to a lower level,
so that there will be no interference with
the view.
In fact, the design of the interior is
such that from every point in the house
an unobstructed view of the stage can be
had.

Rules for Courtship

prominent Philadelphia pastor has laid down some
hard and fast rules for courtshp.
He does not approve of the familys descrton of the
parIor when the young calls, does he permit of
dim corners sottened lights.
The hours for calling should be from $50 to 1890 and
with no additional half hours to say goodby.
He does not believe that the young people should sit
close the sofa engrossed in their happiness that they
''forget the flight Of time
''Courtship,' he says, els serious proposition
the responsibilities of marriage 1t should not continue
longer than eight months. 1t is the duty Of
mothers to ascertain the intentions Of young men,
Now this is precisely what the world has long needed.
Courtship, it must be admitted is conducted most
erratcally In other convention Of life has there been
permitted such free indulgence of individual fancy. A
recence mystery and a dim light have been thrown
about it from time mmenorial.
Parents frequently have decided ideas concerning
their daughters courtsip observances But why little
to say concerning their own? Maybe their memories fail
them. Anyway, it different with them They try to
make themselves believe that times and customs have
changed since they did their ''sparkng.'
Any movement to reform other peoples courtship is
bound to be popular if Ineffective
There is more intense longing in human nature than
to regulate the courtshp of other peopleuness it be

The Cat Has Jumped

About eight years ago the cat began nosng around sort
of getting her bearings.
Then for couple years she mewed pretty loudly,
having struck strong scent.
A year ago she climbed on the top of the fence and
howled.
Now the cat is disappearing the fence Only her
tail shows, long, bristling, angry tail.
By tomorrow the barest tip Of it will show.
AS are speaking of the PUBLIC OPINION CAT, it
behooves those who would be in the procession to hurry
into line.
Whether they will or won't, THE CAT HAS JUMPED
and for she has jumped with the people.
Little dogs and big dogs may bark at the CAT tempting
bits (or bats) of gold and promises may be strewn along
her path, but she will not
She is determined cat, and she is headed mpulsvey

Born in oppression. the labor
movement of Austria Hungary has
almost attained liberty, and is one
of the most rapidly growing move
ments in the world. The same men
who formerly went to Jail for advO-
eating the cause of labor are now
sent to the lawmeking body by the
organized workers.
First labor organized politically,
and then industrial unions were
launched by the political leaders.
They have grown rapidly. The gov
eminent harnesses the union. The
workers get around the law which
prohibits the union from paying
strike benefits by subscribing for a
labor newspaper which pays bene-
fits when its subscribers quit at
the same time
Laws discriminate in favor of
aristocracy. Workingmen must
serve in the armies for three years !;
college graduates but one. Many
workingmen have not the right of
suffrage; in Hungary, not one man
in 20 has a vote.
The political, industrial and co
operative movements are so closely
united that they own united head

IN HARD LUCK
Three Boys Are Deported and.
Three Girls Die of Measles
Shortly After Landing,

Philadelphia. Dee. f7.-An unusu-
ally pathetic story or an alien family
was made public today by immigra-
ton authorities. John Pike, a shoe
maker, came here two weeks ago from
Russia on the steamer Cassel with
his wife and six young children to
settle in this country.
They were stopped by immigration
officials, who found that three of the
children. all boys. were suffering
from trachoma and the other three,
all girls. were i'll with measles.
There was nothing for the immi-
grafton officers to do but to depart
the boys. A family council was held
and it was decided that the father
should take the boys back to their
grandmother in Russia. while the
mother waited the return of the hus-
band.
There was an affecting parting be-
tween the mother and her boys when
the ship sailed away. She and the
little girls were sent to the municipal
hospital. Despite efforts Of the doc
tors, two of the daughters died the
same day. The next day the third girl
died.
The children were buried and the
grief-stricken mother was sent back
to the immigration detention station
to spend a cherries yuletide alone,
awaiting the return Of her husband
from across the seas.
