Miss Nellie Kelly Receives I'm
usual Honor From
Federation.

BUFFALO, Aug. 27.-The honor of being
the FIRST woman to holo Office in the New
York State Federation OF Labor went
to-day to Nellie Kelly OF Syracuse, She
Is eleventh vice-president OF the Fed
GRAFTON.
This office was created especially by
the ffty-second convention at its closing
session in appreciation OF the part
women nave played in Its history. There
we're forty women among the 3t5 dele
gates.
Miss Kelly is business agent OF the
United Garment Workers OF Syracuse.
She has been In the union since 1901 and
this is the second convention she has
attended.
When her election was announced the
delegates cheered. and every one insisted
upon shaking hands with Nellie
The closing act OF the convention was
the adoption OF resolutions applauding
Richard Curran, Rochester Capt. T. V.
O'Connor. Buffalo, and James II. Dahm,
Brooklyn. labor's representatives in the
Constitutional Convention. and con-
demning Elihu Root, William Barnes.
Louis Marshall, Edgar T. Bracket.
Lemuel Ely Quigg. Frederick c. Tan
ner, George w. Wickersham, Morgan
j. O'Brien, William +. Sheehan and De
Lancey Nlcoll for their efforts to
squelch the workingman."
There are 700, 900 voters in New
York State affiliated with the labor
movement said the report presented
by the legislative committee. land they
have only three representatives In the
Constitutional Convention. The other
delegates In large measure are repre-
sentatives OF big interests who do not
understand the needs of organized
labor or else are oblivious to what II
desires.
AS a sample OF the men we consider
as representing big interests and who
have no consideration for the federation
at heart we mention the names hitherto
recorded"

The old debts, the palpable ghosts OF
the old amours and the suspicious in
surance people begin to distress Cousin
Lucy with insistence, but not until
Cupid has touched the masculine hear,
that exists under the feminine fnery,
And so things run merriiy on to the
denouement when Lucy becomes him

footlights.
The syncopated portion OF Cousin
Lucy" proved one OF the refreshing fea-
lures OF last evenings entertainment,
but there was entirely too little OF !;
TO please the audience. Mr.. kern's tr-
resistible tunes and Mr.. Eltinge's very
pleasant voice combined to make the
music doubly enjoyable. Percy Wen
rich had contributed some additional
music and the lyrics for one OF the
songs vas credited to Edward Madden
After the sort of farce comedy that
has been fOisted on a more or less COM
planning public during the past three
weeks, to find "A play written by an ex-
perienced playwright came as a relief
II there was a hint that Mr.. Klein's
manuscript had not been entirely I'm
ished by himself and some one less adep'
had filled in some of the lines II was
hardly noticeable.
Mr.. Eltinge's part gave him ample
opportunity to appear in "A series OF
dazzling gowns ~ the proprietor OF the
dressmaking establishment. This scene
occurring In the second act OF the piece
was one of the prettiest, revealing in q
wealth Of color and pretty girl models
An excellent supporting cast contrib
uted much to the comedy OF the play
which was OF "A bright n vivaclou'
kind. Dallas Wexford injected n grea'
deal OF the merriment by his altogether

STATE S@UFFRAGISTS
GAIN TWO VICTORIES
Votes Amendment Is Advanced
and Ban on Future Ef-
forts Killed.

ALBANY. Aug. 27.-SuTragists gained
W victories to-day in the Constitu-
tioral Convention.
The first was the advancement to final
passage OF an amendment submitting
separately TO the people at the Novem-
Der election the constitutional article
passed by the Legislature giving the
women the right to vote.
The second victory came when the
convention by n vote OF 73 to 80 killed
a provision that hereafter an amend.
ment to the Constitution shall not he
adopted unless two-thirds OF the num-
Der of electors voting for Assemblymer
vote OF the amendment or unless the
affirmative vote on the 8mendmen,
equals at least one-half OF the number
of votes cast for members Of Assembly,
The suffragists had opposed this pro.
vision in Chairman Humans committee
as being detrimental to their interests
should the woman suffrage amerdmen;
not be adopted at the November cleo
ton, because It would require about q
third OF the total vote to he cast IN
favor Of a suffrage amendment when Il
comes up a second time. there being
no such requirement now.
Heretofore amendments to the Con.
stitution have been adopted where les.
han % per cent. OF the voters hav,
expressed themselves.
\ provision offered by Mr.. Wicker
sham was adopted, which Is 10 hc sub
mitted separately to "a vote OF the PEG
pie. that If the revised Constitute
is rejected by tho people the question o
whether or not "a constitutional Corveu
ton shall be held shall not be suhmittc,
TO a vote of the people next year, a!
required by the present Constitution.
The conveut!on adopted an amend
mert offered by Mr.. Barnes that here
after constitutional conventions shal
convene in December and complete thei'
work by August l.. three months he
| fore election. instead Of six weeks hefor'
election. as has been the practice T.
I the past, 80 that the people will hav,
more time to study the amendments.
The amendment as approved by tn,
convention provides that hereafter pro
proposed institutional amendments Il
the Legislature shall be printed for NV
days before passage.

ing: Speculation May BE
Wiped Out.

Another meeting OF theatrical nan
terday to go further into the details
involving the abolishing OF the cut rate
ticket. prohibitive prices and indis-
eliminate passes. The meeting was in
session nearly two hours and at the close
i, was announced that no statement
would be given out.
II was learned. however. that the
question under discussion yesterday was
Of a more drastic nature thar previously
believed. 1t concerned selling a ma
jority OF the tickets direct from the box
office and doing away entirely with all
forms of ticket specializing. II the
present intentions OF the are
carried out the sidewalk Spectator In
theatre seats will be eliminated. II was
said.
Some trouble developed yesterday about
getting all OF the image to agree on
a definite proposition. Friction among
the managers was denied. however. and
although no details were given out Off
cially II WAS authoritatively stated that
every indication now points to a com
plete settlement. Another meeting will
be held next week.
In addition to limiting the advance
price on tickets sold through the hoteI
agencies to 80 cents and eliminating the
cut rate coupon the managers. in order
that none OF them may be tempted &c
disobey the rule, have devised a system
of penalties. and this is one of the things
II Is said. which Is causing a delay In
the proceedings.
Among those at yesterdays meeting
were Marc Klaw. Arch Selwyn. Sam II
| Harris. Lee Shubert. A. II. Woods and
william A. Brady.
