The union men demanded a daily wage scale of S4 as the minimum and $4.50 as the maximum The contractors have yielded to the demand and the employees have submitted to minor changes in working conditions The In2sons were expected to resume work on Monday morning. but the strike of the laboI'ers may occasion delay as that strike has not been settled, al- though the masons and the laborers' unions are not affiliated.

him, had gone over the matter, they were convinced that it was not the city's fight, and that he would recon. mend that the city meet none of such expense
 The paving commissioners might have answered the controversy of the expense at the outset if there had been any money belonging to the dis trict within their hands, but it is said that there is no money available through the sources they have at hand except through the levy of spe- cial assessment, and that this will not likely be done in this instance if there is any other way to handle the situation.
 Attorneys Rector and Sawyer had been designated to represent the paw ing district in the matter of com. promise with the Barber Asphalt Com pany, or in lieu of a compromise, to fight the matter in the courts. But designating attorneys and paying them are different things, and there will of necessity be some expense to be paid before there is much of a pro- cedure in the settlement of the issue.
 The fact that the contract between the paving commissioners and the Barber Asphalt Company had been drawn and approved by the late Judge J. B. Wood one of the leading attor- neys of the state, has encouraged many to the belief that regardless of the intimation of a Chicago attorney for the asphalt company that the con tract is not valid, the contract will probably in a test in the courts be found to be sufficient.

The matter of where the expense will be met that is necessary to settle the controversy between the Central avenue paving district and the Barber Asphalt Company has not been defi- nitely decided, and this is one que~ ton that will probably have to be an- swered before much further progress is made in the matter of securing re- lief for the travellers along Central avenue.

peared in concert at the Auditorium theater Monday evening.
 Her magnificent voice, splendid womanhood, gracious manner and generous responses won her many admirers in this city who would greatly enjoy a return engagement from the noted singer.
 She opened the concert wlun sev- eral Wagner selections sung with the ease and charm characteristic of the great prima donna.
 She responded to the insistent ap- plause with the Scottish song by Margaret Lang, entitled "Mavour- neen." This encore made a most fa- vorable impression.
 She sang Schuberts 'Liebesbot- schaft" and ''Die Forelle' with much expression, their prettiness being en- hanced by the feeling she exhibited in her rendition.
 An old German song from the Reimann collection, 'Spinnerlied- chen," received vocferous applause from a delighted audience Respond ing graciously with an encore, she sang "Belero' by Arditi, a charming Spanish selection.
 Mime. SchumannI1eink, on former American tours became noted for her excellent rendition of Nevins "Ros- ary," it being said that the very manner of her rendering the notes represented the cross of which she sang so feelingly. She sang "The Rosary" by request Monday night and her voice sounded Sloriously beautiful during that number.
 When the Roses Bloom" by Reichardt, was followed by the soul stirring, tragic number, "Cry of Raehol,' by Saltor, sung exquisitely by the magnificent artiste.
 The last number was the Kerry Dance,' a popular number by Molloy. There was sufficient variety shown in the selections to please the varied taste always shown in large audi enee and the rendition was such as to please the most fastidious.
 The assisting artists, Mrs. Kath- arine Hoffman, accompanist and Miss Nina Fletcher. violinist, were excellent. Mrs. Hoffman showed herself a finished artist at the piano and Miss Fletcher possesses the modern virtuoso's technique and a warm, sympathetic tone. The Spanish Dance (No. S), by Sarasate, was wonderfully rendered. | The encore was "Viennese Dance, D by Kreisler
 The entire program was a magnifi- | cent success.
