so the reporter still is in ignorance
of Rothschild & Co.'S policy on
unions.
John T. Pirie, of Carson, Pirie,
Scott & Co., said: 81 don't think
there is any real opposition to unions
among the stores. l mean that do

Taking Eddie all in all, and paying
due attention to the clothes he wears

is not surprising that he does not

He writes an article in the Tribune,
and says that the department stores
all OPPOSE the formation of unions.
And when the truth is told, they
don't do anything of the sort. Some
of them may not THINK much of
unions, but they would not OPPOSE
unions for anything in the world.
You can see how it is yourself and
the Tribune really ought to be
whole lot more careful about how it
prints rash statements like that.
But maybe it would have been all
right if Henry NJ. Hyde had used
some other or words instead of 'iOp-
pose; determined to crush out any
attempt to form a union among their
employees" might have hit the mark
easily.

on the rate of wages paid to their

of unions among their employees.
They will oppose the formation of
such unions and are now doing their
best to make their employees feel

1t was reported last night that a strong
delegation would probably appear before

o'clock this afternoon to ask for q decay

streets as proposed by City Engineer
kirkpatrick until more information can
be learned regarding the proposition.
1t is understood that a very strong
sentiment against the proposed plan has
developed. The object of the delegation
this afternoon, however. is not to pro-
test, but to ask for delay. until more in
formation can be secured. 1t is under
stood. however, that the city commission
does not intend to take action on the
ordinance this afternoon anyhow.

1t is not desired, however, to make a

Mr.. Wallace made an appeal for the

night for two performances. One of
the oldest and one of the largest OF
the circuses on the road, the Hagen

Its patrons yesterday. Three rings and
two platforms were kept well filled
with performers at all times, while
there were number of graceful eques-

in addition to the always popular bare
back riding done inside the rings.
Trained animals are featured with
the Hagenbeck- Wallace circus and
there were a large number of well
trained animals exhibited, the trained
pigs, sea lions. horses, dogs and ele-
plants affording much pleasure. Tho
pigs in particular made a decided hit.
The acrobats, aerial performers and ths
equestrians were all good. There were
no "thrillers" on the circus programme

Naturalization King,

From 'the heavy problem plays of the
past few weeks to the delightful roman
tic drama of Graustark was change to
the patronage of the Bljou. The audience
enjoyed seeing George Barr McCutcheon S
imaginary figures brought into real life
on the stage and were delighted with the
manner in which Truxton King the
American romance hunter, restored the
throne to its rightful heir and married the
pretty girl.
The story of Graustark is we'll known to
all readers of George Barr McCutcheon
and ''Truxton King is one of the best
of the series dealing with the imaginary
throne in Europe. An American, King is
roaming the world in search of romance
and to escape the heavy toll of iron and
steel, in which his money was made In
despair of ever finding his desire, he
drifts into Graustark and finds the anar-
chists plotting to kill the little prince,
and usurper getting ready to seize the
throne. With the Americans love OF
fair play and right, he springs into the
middle of the trouble, rescues the prince
and also the beautiful girl, whom he mar
ries and his romantic career of thrones
and fights settles to q blissful married
life.
The company is. as good as the play
and was thoroughly appreciated last
night. Miss Marie Mitchell made an APP
pealing Prince Robin, the heir to the
throne. Herbert Heyes has the part OF
the American, Truxton King, and he
carries 1t off with dash that Is excellent.
Mildred Barker was quite winsome and
attractive as Countess Igomode, and Mil
dred Van Hollen made much of the heavy
part of the Polish anarchist. In the char
acter part of Brutus, one of the plotters,
Walter Graham was excellent and the
part of Baron Dangloss was creditably
handled by L. o. Hart.

head l said. For Gods sake, don't do
that; don't do that She replied, Don't
come near me- and then the pistol went
off and I ran to the cooks house to

Il want to say, gentlemen, that |
am ready to answer all questions you
may put to me- Mrs. Williams had been
in i'll health for several months and
had been very respondent. About a
year ago she attempted suicide with
the same pistol that killed her and l
