remain within the confines of book covers. The result was inevitable and the dramatization of her life has been all that was expected. Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch'' is a success. The best incidents from Mrs. Rice's book have been combined to make one of the most interesting plays that has been the privilege of the local organ izationEto present.
 A feature of the productio of Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch will be the opportunity one of the company whose work has been so conspicuous for its excellence but who has not had the title role heretofore will have. Miss Pringle has endeared herself to the Poli patrons by her gracious manner and clever character portray als. An artistic conception of her role; she carries the realism down to the very detail in dress and facial ex- pression. Miss Pringle is a rarely gifted woman, and now that she will be seen in, the character that names the play, her friends rejoice Those who watched Miss Pringle during this season appreciate that she will be Mrs. Wiggs to perfection and they an- ticipate one of the most delightful character portrayals that it has been the. privilege of the patrons to witness this season.

POLI'S

Everyone has heard of Mrs. Wiggs. Her quaint sayings and sound phifoso- phy have been quoted time and again. Mrs. Wisgs is in fact friend of the family. Mrs. Wiggs represents the spirit of American optimism. She is at the head of her class. She will live forever. Anything that. she may say or do is regarded with pleasure and profit Mrs. Wiggs is ones friend These are some of the reasons the se- lection for this week by the Poli Play CTS will appeal to all classes. And the announcement that this woman of cabbage patch fame and constant good hEmCr will be at Polls this week is @ source of consratulation.

FIRST THINGS

The first official map of the town of Chicago was recofded eighty-two years ago. The town site had been survey missioners-not 8 difficult task, since the village, including suburbs, covered but three-eighths of square mile The population at that time was about a hundred. Most of the inhabitants were traders in furs and skins and all of them went armed, with due regard to the scalp-raising habits of some of the neighboring Indians. The tavern was tine social center of the village, and here o'nfghts the hunters and trappers gathered to eat, drink and be merry. There were also two gen. eral stores, a scholhouse, a. church, and group of log cabins. Within three years the village grew into an Incorporated ''city" with a population Of $50, townsite of 500 acres, and nearly 200 buildings.
 The first column of Crystal Palace London's famous show-place, was rais- ed sixty years ago today by s. Laing, H. P. The company promoting the great edifice had bought the mater aals used in the 1851 exhibition build fngs and soon afterward began work on the palace on it's present site, near Sydenham in Kent. The capital of the company, originally 500,000 pounds, was doubled in order to carry the great project to completion. Over S., DO men were engaged at one time in the work of construction. Crystal Palace was opened by Queen Victoria sn 1854. The palace has been the scene of many great exhibitions, mu- sical concerts. festivals, mass meetings and other affairs. Financially it has never been very successful, and for dime recently it was feared that 1t would be demolished

SAYS SUGAR TRUST EXISTS.
House Committee Finds Combine Hold.
Prices Up.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Hardwick
sugar trust" investigating committee,
after many weeks Of open hearings
here and in New York and almost con-
tinuous work since last May. reported
to the house today that sugar trust
exists. The report. which Is signed by
all the members Of the committee, re-
publicans as well az democrats, makes
no recommendation whatever as to
how the alleged trust and those re-
sponsible for 1t shall be dealt with,
suggesting that this phase of the sit
uation is one to be handled by the
standing committee of the house.
AS to the effect of the combine on
the cost of sugar to the consumer, the
committee expresses the belief that
monopoly keeps the price up. but
makes no attempt to fix accurately the
extent to which reasonable prices that
might exist under competitive condi-
tions are affected.
