FEAR MENACE OF
GENERAL STRIKE
PHILADELPHIA, Mare ,

AS the time draws nearer FOR the
general sympathetic strike of all org.
anized labor in Philadelphia III sup
port of the trolleymen, the pressure be-
ing brought to bear on the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit company to sub
mit the questions at issue to arbitra-
tion is becoming stronger.
The menace of general strike and
the consequent prostration of practic-
ally all lines of industry has stirred
up business men and large employers
of labor, and the efforts made yester-
day to have the company accept arb
itration in some form were renewed
today with vigor,
The ultimatum issued by the rapid
transit directors that "the company
has not changed and will not in any
manner change its attitude with re-
spect to arbitration, already outlined
in its reply to the ministers aSsocia-
tion, " has not disheartened those who
are working for peace. The fact that
the leaders of the strikers have eN-
pressed themselves as willing to ac-
cept any fair proposition to arbitrate
has removed one obstacle toward peace
and the influences at work on the
rapid transit company feel that they
will be successful in avoiding the gen
eral labor conflict.

curioait.es Of Superstition.

When Egypt was in the height OF
her power. when she was most highly
civilized and delighted in being called
the mistress of the land and sea, her
people worshiped a black bull. There
was some discrimination. however.
even in this form of worship. In order
to be an object of mad alteration it was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with a circular white spot in the cx
act center of his forehead. and the
advent of such a creature in any hero
was the signal of wild demonstrations
from the Mediterranean to the border
of the Lybian desert. Even as late aS
the time of Cleopatra. star eyed god
dess. glorious sorcercss OF the Nile.
such animals were shod with gold and
had their horns tipped with the same
metal. HerodotuS tells of man who

There is a pretty story of NGodjeska

The new leading woman, who was
to assume the part of the red haired
sovereign, was a beautiful young per-
son whose acting experience had been
limited to a few seasons in modern so
ciety plays. On the night of the first
performance, in the most important
scene of the drama, where the captive
Mary confrunts Elizabeth in Fotherin-
gay park. all was not well The new
leading woman, wearing a wig for the
first time in her career and looking un-
comfortable in the high Elizabethan
ruff, was I'll at ease in the beginning,
and, losing one of the chief words and
thereby the meter from her opening
dimes, she began to founder and soon
dried up completely.
This left Schller's unhappy Mary
standing In the center of the stage
waiting to be adequately insulted. But
Elizabeths mind was n blank, madam
could see that. and, jumping to her
last speech, the curtain was brought
down. Everybody on the stage was
distressed. But instantly the beautiful
young woman, disguised as the irate
Elizabeth. rushed to the stars side

are Inclined to agree with n writer in
one OF the weekly papers WHO says
that "our actors, even the best and
most experienced of them, haven't the
faintest notion OF how to drink nat
urally and with the air Of men who
are enjoying the process" And we
have frequently noted that curious un-
spillable quality in the musical comedy
drink. In this particular type of po-
tatiou, which is set to music and
which we may call the gay drink, the
careless gestures Of the fagon holders,
who DO not actually drink until they
have waved the goblet upside down,
have been known to make strong and
