GREATEST TREAT Of
THE WINTER SEASON
MADAME X at Lyceum Theater
February the 24th
and 18th.
Play Wonderfully Appealing,
Tragic, Broad, Deep and
Powerful.

It is great Simple, yet stupendous
and powerful. The pathetic stopped
figure Of the worn and haggard
mother, the natural acting of the ex-
cellent company and the simple story
all convey to one it's lesson and moral.
Flowery speeches, nor talky scenes
moral at you, its simple story is it's
own moral lesson. 1t is safe to say
that there was not a dry eye in the
audience when the curtain fell on
the impressive scene in the court
room. Tears might not have shown
in some eyes yet no man could sit
through the scene of the son Defend
ing his mother, her identity unknown
to him, without being affected and
having a rump rise in his throat.
The play is wonderful in it's appeal,
and while it is painfully tragic, one
can but yield to the great power
and pathos and give ones self UNI
reservedly to the powerful effect pro-
duced. All through the great trial
scene there is a husband feeling Of
tender reverence as though the emo
tons awakened had gone too deep for
words and the pity for the poor fall
len woman, her son and husband
makes holy ground out of the sinful
waste of the woman's shattered life.
The plot of the play is big, broad,
deep and powerful. There is no pro-
blem to bother ones mind. No un-
| wieldy lessons are Taught, it is a ira
gedy of human life easily conceived.
wonderful manner by superb acting.
Every members of the cast was ex-
cellent in protraying a score Of diff
ferent and interesting characters. 1t
is a melo-drama but not the kind of
weeping women, stolen papers, lost
children or gun plays, not the kind

! that is real, we'll told and executed
are that touches upon the heart
strings no other play has ever done.
Mary Mannering, now starring in
| "A Mans World,'' will come to the
| Lyceum, March 3, in a play that ran
for nearly a season at the Comedy
theater, New York, and achieved a
! tremendous popularity. Rachel Gro
theirs, author of THE Three OF U.s.
has furnished Miss Mannering with
a role which gives her an ideal Op-
portunity for the dramatic portrayal
! Of a woman's character in all its
various phases. When she finds that
the man she loves is the father OF
the child she has adopted, she is
confronted with the necessity OF
choosing between her happiness an6
her ideals. The scene is laid in ar

ROCHESTER, SCABS
- NOW OUT OF WORK

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Feb. 16.-It
develops that the settlement of the
Chicago clothing strike will have a
material effect on Rochester. This
city has contributed to the fight of
; the Chicago manufacturers so effec-
lively as to have been the direct cause
of the collapse of the strike.
When the strike had been inaugu-
rated the Chicago manufacturers
opened branch concerns here and COM
menced the manufacture of clothing.
1t is reported that as high as $4,000
per week was spent here in wages
during the month of January. It is
! expected now that these branch man.

SOMETHING NEW IN WAY
.OF JOINT TRADE AGREEMENTS
VIII Sound Death Kne|I Of
Unauthorized Strikes,
They Believe
Special 10 Daily beeder.

Chicago, H., June 13-Brick manu-
facturers who are preparing to open
taeir plants after six weeks OF idle
ness have started something new in
the way of joint trade agreements.
The innovation, they believe, will
sound the death knen Of the indiv-
ildal' strike
Fuf years the brick manufacturers
hcye complained at having their
pants tied up for day or two at a
time by unauthorized strikes The
officers Of the Brickmakers Union,
when appealed to, would admit that
the strikes were unwarranted. but
claimed they were pJwerless. as the
men had cult as individuals"
Under the new plan each Of the
$500 members OF. the union have
been required to sign individual
agreements. The Union has signed
QUE agreement with the manufacture
ers, covering wages and working con
ditions in all the plants la the dis.
tict. and each member has signed a
separate contract that he will abide
hy the terms Of the general agree
ment If he quite as an individual
he is to be dealt with accordingly
which means that he will be discharg
ed and the union can not make ans
fight to have him reinstated.
The agreement is said to be the
FIRST of its kind ever made between
employers and labor unions In the
city. The Illinois coal operators tried
10 meet similar situation four years
ago by inserting clause that mem
ters OF the union who would go out
on unauthorized strikes, causing q
shutdown and claiming that they
acted as individuals, should pay .
fine OF $40 for each offense Some
fines were levied, but an attempt tf
collect them caused trouble.
