L0ND0N'S NEW CABARET.
"The Golden Calf" 10 to Be a Novel
Night Resort.

ne OoIoen CalI' 10 TO 6e Novel
Night Resort.
THE Golden Calf" Is the name of n
remarkable new entertainment that
London is TO give to those restless souls
who cannot seek their beds after the
theaters are over without some sort
of dramatic "nightcap"
a weird underground fantastic affair
is this new cabaret with its eerie
paintings in primal colors blazing on
the walls, its curtains and its strange
atmosphere" The performance will
start when all the theaters are over,
and everybody will stop as long as ever
he likes.
Allied to the cabaret is the Intimate
theater, and in January there will be
the production of THE Lysistrata," the
votes for women" play that Miss
Kingston produced at the Little thea
ter, presented as In the original Near
" all the characters are women, but
not woman is to appear in the cast.
The piece will be played entirely by
varsity men in the draperies Of the
period.
The leading spirit is a sort of Mad
am y. She speaks Of herself as "the
lady behind the veil" what we are
aiming at" she explains, '1s art in its
intimacy and simplicity-none Of your
false richness and decoration. The
Beggar's Opera we shall do here-that
Amazing work by Gay-but here you
will see it, as you will see everything
else, in its unexpurgated form, just
as it was before the censor got hold
of it.
This is to be a theater of the living
and the young. We do not care what
a young author has to say so long as
he says it, that he Is sincere, that he
gives up his personality. On week
nights there will be variety, with a IA
nous man in the conductors chair;
on Sundays, plays-new and old"

LITTLE P0LLY'S P0ME ON JAx.

Jax are little iron toys
For girls to play a game but boys
They do not like the game at all
Although you play II with a ball
And Tommy West he sneared one day
When 1 invited him to play.
II Is a Sissy game said he
Not dangerous enough for me
But II Is 80 as you will see.
When / was playing an alone
Today and had my "three-ums' done
l heard somebody say my dear
And looked up and standing near
An old gray lady looked at me
And knew right off who was she.
She was the little freckled girl
That always has her hair in curl
And giggles all the time and fools
And sits beside of me In schools
Grandmother. So she shook her head
And held one finger up and said:
Be careful child and always close
Your mouth tight when you play with
those
l knew n girl when I was young
That got jax behind her tongue
And doctors had to cut her throat
SO they could reach and get It out
For II the jax had stayed inside
She would of choked to death and died!
So now l scarcely breathe at all
When l play with my jaX and ball
And Tommy incident make fuss
And say that jax aint dangerous.

Driven BY His Mother.

"On Aug. 90 little Jack, aged twelve,
was up from 9 o'clock in the morning.
He was shipping beans from 1870 until
10 p. m. with only One-half hour for
dinner and only a few minutes for
supper He said, My fingers Is broke.
He went to bed last night at II o'clock
and got up at 3. He said he was not
working the night before until -, but
went to bed at -.
"He said he was awful tired, but his
mother made him work. He tried to
20 home several times. His hands
were swollen. His sister, aged ten
could hardly keep her eyes open, and
her mother scolded her constantly.
Jack made $1.4O during the period
from 4 a. N. until 10 p. m He said he
couldn't keep any of 1t.
Jack said work like this was moth
ing to peas, when his mother and sis
ter came home frequently at l and ,
o'clock in the morning, and they were
so sick they fell down and vomited
This last is quite possible, but it prob
ably is not absolutely correct. There
were about seventy-five to hundred
children in the shed, the majority ten
and over, but about twenty-five be-
tween five and ten-I should say none
under five.
THE parents were constantly urging
the children to work. one little boy
aged eleven was throwing some bean
snippings at another fellow and had
stopped work a second. His father
hit him brutally across the face and
set him again at work. Everywhere
parents were forcing children to work.
In Fear of Beating.
"Aug. 81 | got out to the shed at Z
o'clock, and Jack, aged twelve, was
sitting wrapped up in n big shawl. He
was very pale, with his black eyes just
sagging out of his head. He had his
fingers done up in dirty rag. l ask
ed him if he had to get up at again
He said they pulled him out of bed at
4 o'clock, and his sister cried, but they
had to go or get a beating. Another
little chap, aged eleven, who had snip
ped from to a. m, picked all day
and shipped from $50 p. m. until 10
p. m, told me he thought it was only
s o'clock at night when they dragged
him out of bed In the morning at 4.
He thought he had been asleep only
minute.
Aug. 22.-The forelady of the pea
tables told me that for two weeks dur

every night until 1 or o'clock in the

After these experiences Miss Cham

work of inspection. She said when she
went to Genesee, n. Y, she arrived
late in the afternoon. She was arous'
ed about 4 o'clock next morning by a
large number of people passing the

looked out the window and saw hun

some pushing baby carriages and many
of the women leading little ones hard
