to reconcile his wife to a divorce by
offers of large sums of money, but
money will not appease her bitterness
toward her husband and she holds with
determination not to give him his
liberty.

1.-THE Spring Maid" which is said tic

Widow and 1.-The Chocolate Soldier
comes to the Grand April Ii.
1t will be given in exactly the same
manner, even to the great orchestra,
as in New York and San Francisco. AS
indicating the general appeal of this
newest of Viennese operettaS to all
people it is told that the opera lovers
of Los Angeles gave it a reception be-
ginning with the first entrance of tt e
little Hungarian, Mizzi HaJos, such as
that city has not given a musical work
in many years.
1.-The Spring Maid" has been enthus-
iastically credited with more fun
than in either 1.-THE Merry Widow or
1.-THE Chocolate Soldier those other
two operas which San Francisco
critics considered the only works with
which it's name should be classed. The
dreamy fascination of DAY Dreams
the lifting swing of How I Love q
Pretty Face the stirring hussar num-
bers and the musical fastasIe, 1.-TWO

composer, Heinrich Reinhardt, a new
writer of Vienna, a wide reputation.
But it is to Mizzi Hajos, piquant
Hungarian, whose fame abroad has
been so quickly paralleled in this coun-
try, that praise has been given freely.
The success of 1.-THE Spring Maid
has been so remarkable in the largest
cities of the coast that western thea
ter managers are making plans that
return again to that section of the
country after the Forthcoming long en-
gagements in Chicago, ST. Louis and

George Barr McCutcheon's "Grau-
stark will be presented at the Grand
April 26. This attraction went well in
New York, Chicago, Pittsburg and
other cities. 1t is a romantic drama of
the latest pattern, containing love cpl
climaxes with a pure vein of delightful
humor.
Gaustark is the book that made him
famous. It is considered his master
piece and it is safe to say that it is the
most widely read of any of our latter
day popular books.
The adaptation for the stage was
made by Geo. D. Baker, a young dram
atist, who in the past two years has
jumped to the front ranks among
American play writer's. All the best
incidents in the book are in the play.

In his appeal he said:
I'll, Let us try and be just q little
more consistent in the future for the
boot and shoe workers. Tell the
women Of the home that when they
send the shoes to the repairers that
they must come back with the re-
pairer's stamp on them; advise the.
children what the stamp stands for.'
boost it and in return some day, pso-
sibly before we least expect it, this
organization may be better able to
assist our union.
Let it not be said that any union
ever went by default, through lack
of support by the members of organ
lied labor. Let it always be the first
thought In mind when spending our
union earned moneys. our duty lies
in supporting unions. Look for the

repairing done and the boot and shoe

Of making a fight in the interest OF

resolution introduced last Monday
evening, Alderman Phillips called up-s
on the city council to adopt reso-
luton providing for g. 3-cent fare.
The resolution contained saving
clause to the effect that the city at
torney is called upon to report to the
council all legal obstacles and hin
derances to enforcing a Scent fare.
The council did not pass the resolu-
ton. We do not know why it hesi-

quired a Scent fare and il this cam

ST. PAUL, July 18.-(Special

friends may be divided as to prin-
is one subject upon which they stand

keeping all Democrats out and divid-
ing whatever political plums there are
among followers Of the G. O. p re-
gardless as to whether they are
stand-patters, progressives, county
optionists or what not. -.
This Is illustrated in Mr.. Young's
latest expression Of opinion concern
ing the presidency It will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Young, Immediately
after the nomination Of Governor
Wilson at Baltimore, expressed it as
his opinion that a third ticket was
absolutely unnecessary, that Cover
nor Wilson was a candidate on whom
all progressives could unite. that the
Baltimore platform left nothing to be
desired, and inferentially advised his
friends to support the Democratic
nominee for the presidency.
Not Good Politics..
OF course, it is to be admitted that
this was not particularly good poll
tics, speaking from a partisan stand
point and coming from a Republican
candidate for governor of Minnesota,
but he undoubtedly expressed his
honest sentiments as to Governor
Wilson and the Democrat tic platform.
Some one undoubtedly pointed out
to Mr.: Young the fact that this state
ment Of his would mitigate against
him as a Republican candidate. He
therefore qualified it, saying that he
did not advise against the entry of

500 men are directly affected, but it
means the closing down of the mills,
involving some $500 employees.
A large number Of paper mills

also stated that operatives were Sc
cured from a Chicago detective
agency to accept employment in the
factories and also join the union in
order. to secure a list of members.
The list was secured and reported,
with the result that 200 men were
promptly locked out.
There were about 100 men that had
not joined the organization, and they
were not disturbed, but they deter
mined to make common cause and
walked out in sympathy with the
locked-out men. Both plants are
