out of the Fold" was put on last night at the Empress and received more applause than any performance so far. IL seemed that the audience agreed with Ted MacLcan who says this particular play is his favoritc. It goes without saving that Miss Madison and Mir Mclean did cf- fcctivc work in their respective roles: they always do but last night show cd some of the other characters to greater advantage than any of the plays yet given in the repertoire of the company. This was especially true of MT. lnkc. who posed as John Lathrop. the sncaking william of the piece Mir. Derrick. who cXcels m comedy roles. was very funny in the part of Daddy Pinchback. editor Of the Enterprise" Mir Brunton as Toby Tompkins. the naughty boy of the village was clever indeed.

 out of the Fold" is pastoral play, the scenes being laid in vil- lage in the hills of Montana. A { buColic atmosphere was created by the introduction Of several sheep and specially painted scenery.

Miss Avery Strakosch Begins What Is Predicted to Be a Success
 ful Stage Career.

Miss Avery Strakosch of this city made her first professional appear ance on the American stage last night at the Empress theatcr. as q member of the Worlds Fair Stock company She had no speaking part but appeared only in the business of the school room scene Miss Strakosch does not claim to be q star but she hopes to be some day and is willing to begin at the bot tom of the ladder and work her way up. If there is anything in heredity she surely has q right to hope for success for she springs from | fam ily of thespians.
 Her mother, Madam Harriet Avery Strakosch. for many years well known opera singer is spending the winter in Phoenix and Max and Maurice Strakosch impresarios and pioneer operatic managers of this country are great uncles of Miss Avery Strakosch. The gentlemen re- ferred to are the men who brought out Patti. Clara Louise Kellogg Strakosch. Anna Louise Carey and Emma Thursby.
 This is surely a theatrical lineage to be proud of and the many friends of Miss Avery will expect her name to he as famous some day as any oi those mentioned.

LOS ANGELES. March 2S.- ,SpccialD coast executives ot the Western Union Telegraph com pany have today received advices of the inauguration of pension plan
 for the benefit of the 30.OO0 employees connected with that corporation throughout the United States. An nouncement is made by President
 Theodore x Vail as follows:
 "A pension committee has been compiling statistics and analyses of
 existing pension plans for many
 months While the plan which we are inaugurItinE does not go as far as we would like to have it. still
 it is a beginning and we believe will
 materially assist in caring for those
 employees. qualified through length of
 service. who because of incapacity or
 disability are compelled to discOn-
 tinue active work. The solution of
 the problem has not been an easy
 one in view of the large number Of
 employees. their widely diversified
 occupations. and the large territory
 over which the system extends to-
 gether with the heavy expense tc
 the company incident to the inauSu-
 ration of the pension. However, Il
 is my firm belief that all employees.
 identified by years of faithful ser
 vice are entitled to some financial
 protection against the necessity of retirement and it is the hope of the company that this beginning will eN- tend to further protection of em- ployes. Meanwhile, the inauguration of pension plan marks an eN- prcssion of appreciation on the part of the company of the loyal and efficient service rendered by it's en- ployes"
 The plan in detail is as f, ,ws: Upon rctiremcnt after twenty years of service and up to and in- | cluding the twenty-fifth year of such service the employe receives 1 one per cent of the average salary 1 for the ten years immediately pre- | ceding retirement. multiplied by the total years of service. After twenty | five years of service and up to and | including the thirty fifth year of such service, one and one-half per | cent addition for each additional 1 year.
 After thirty-five years of service and up to and including the fortieth 1 year of such service. two per cent additional for each additional year 1 After forty years of service fifty ! per cent The minimum pension al- 1 lowance to be $25.OO per month eN- | cept when otherwise directed. No pension under this plan will eX- ceed S1O0 per month. There are. ol ] course. quite d number of employees | who have been in the service tol | many years and who are capable "i still rendering active and valuable | service to the company but the sNs- tenn. in case of disability and unfit | ness for further active duty, per mits d faithful employe to retire un-
