put one way over on all those who
make any profession of being singers
or instructors of classical music
among the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS she
set a high standard in this respect,
for them to initiate, and that few are
able TO follow in her footsteps in
this direction, and that The Broad AK

STAGE NOTES.

Bert Williams seems to be the
whole show of the Follies, as all you
can hear around the hotels and
amusement resorts, is have you seen
Williams. That reminds me that he
has caused quite craze among the
white performers. Two acts on the
bill at the Majestic last week were
giving limitations of Williams, to
much applause. A few seasons ago
most every Colored act was attempt
ing to do the same, but it was Avery
& Hart, who made a reputation out
of their efforts to such an extent that
they are the headliners on many bills.

STRIKE Is
SATISFACTORILY ENDED

Plainield, May 24:-The local
~journeymen masons and hod-carriers
who have been on strike for two
weeks returned to work yesterday
following a conference with the boss
es and. James Bowen, Of Indianapolis,
president of the B~ricklayers and
Masons' International Union. There
was a compromise reached, the boss
es agreeing to give the masons SIS for
an elght-hour day instead of $500,
which they demanded, while the hod-
carriers will receive So. A majority
of the men went back to work, al
though there are a few still+out, be-
Ing unable to find employment.
The masons were receiving $3.50
a day and made the demand for
$500, but the bosses said that it
would be hazardous to the trade to
grant such a large increase. In the
settlement one exception was made,
that in the case of Cuniff Bros, who
have the contract for building the
new st. Joseph's church. If the new
rates applied to that firm it would
mean a great loss to the contractors,
who figured on a basis of the old
rate, and 1t would probably mean
that they would either be obliged to
give up the work or seek ~non-union
help entirely. The old rate will re-
main in force until September l.,
thus giving contractors ample time
to complete present work which was
taken at the old rate. During the
strike a number of %non-union men
were brought here by the bosses.

SPERANTIST
CLOSE SEASON
Local Society Plans for Con-
tinuinQ in the Fall.

The Perth Amboy Esperanto
Society closed a successful season
last night when, at the regular week
ly meeting of the Esperanto class
held in the high school building, 1t
was decided to discontinue the meet
ings until fall. The society has a
membership of thirty-two, with TWEEN
ty-seven members of the class. There
has been an average attendance of
fifteen. While all have been begin
ners In the study of the language,
Prof. e. H. Kleinhans proved himself
a capable leader, continuing until a
few weeks ago when the pressure of
spring work In connection with the
high school compelled him to relin-
quish the task. Since that time Rev.
William H. Bawden has acted as
leader. The class has been greatly
assisted by H. w. Fisher, of Pitts
burg. who, as chief engineer for the
Standard Underground Cable Com
pany, is spending some time In this
city. 1t vas through the efforts of
Mr.. Fisher that the society was or
ganized here and he has done much
toward making 1t a success.
All the members have entered INTO
the work enthusiastically and a suf1-
cient knowledge has been attained
for all to continue the study individ-
ually this summer If they so desire.
All the members of the local society
are members of the national ~associa-
tlon and are subscribers to the
monthly magazine published in the
interest of the language, thus keep
ing posted on the progress of the
work throughout the world. South
Amboy and Keyport are both repre-
sented In the local society.
At the business meeting held last
night at the close Of the lesson, a
vote of thanks was extended the
Board of Education for the use of the
high school building. The executive
committee was also instructed to pre-
pare a constitution and bylaws for
the society and to report at the first
meeting next fall.
When the classes are resumed
there will be another beginners class
for those who wish to go over the
first part Of the work more thorough
ly and for any others who may wish
to take up the work. There will also
be an advanced class for those who
are ready to go on into the converse
tional feature.
