People who nowadays book their

conceive of the discomfort Of other

John Fyyle in COMEDY Queens OF the
Georgian Era"
"One Of Charles Matthews neWspa-

January, 17TG. protesting against this
custom of permitting Il footman to
sit for an act or two Of play next to
n woman of the first quality by way
Of securing a place for his absent mas

1.-THE indecency of the practice Is
said to be aggravated by the usual
choice Of the dirtiest servant of the

parade and figure are to prance be-
fore the lady's chair with lighted
dambeaux or hang like rope OF on

A fast-hying automobile with four

scene OF reported garment strike riot
collided with a telephone pole at Cieve-

pected to die.
Less than FIVE minutes alter the &C.
cident another automobile loaded with
strike detectives arrived on the scene,
and, it is said, at once began to WELD
sticks among the crowd that had COL
!ected. Before the city police came
up half-dozen persons had been
dubbed, the special officers evidently
misunderstanding the situation.
Shortly before noon over 60 shots
we're exchanged between strikers and
the guards. Two strikers were wounded
and the police made many arrests
The rioting occurred at the home OF
Charles Sperliug, father of E Sperling,
of e. Sporting & Co, clockmakerS.
At meeting OF strikers yesterday
morning the garment workers decided
that outside work for the Sporting fac
tory was being done at Charles Sperl-
ing's home, and they decided to march
there. Soon \ crowd Of 1000 was be-
fore tho house, which was protected by
seven guards, who varied the crowd
back. Then the guards fired, first in
the air. When shots were returned,
the guards poured bullets into the as
semblage.
Police reserves, including mounted
police, by liberal clubbing, put an end
to the riot.

BARTLEET'S LITTLE
DAUGHTER HAD VERY
NARAOW ESCAPE

RENO, October Little Jean
Bartlett. youngest daughter of for
mer Congressman George Bartlett,
had an almost miraculous escape
from serious injury and possibly
death day or so ago. Mrs. Bart
lett had left the room in which a
fire was burning in the fireplace, to
get some more wood. While the
mother was away, Jean took Gel
luloid comb, with which she had
been playing, and touched the
glowing Goals. Instantly there was
an explosion. and ashes and Goals
were scattered all over the room.
Mrs Bartlett heard the noise and
rushed into the room, just as the
little girl was running toward the
door shouting 'Pire, Pire!" Her
face and hair were covered with
ashes, but fortunately she had not
been touched by any of the live
ccals The rug in front of the
hearth was on fire as was an ad-
joining woodboX in which there
was some paper and kindling. 1t
was almost miracle that the lit
tie girls dress had not caught fire.
As ii was, there was practically no
damage
