Fun Thursday Evening.
"Hello Bill," a farce -comedy
which is rr.plctc with clean fun,
will be seen at the opera house next
Thursday eyentug. This play is
new in theme and treatment, en
tirely unhackneyed in its co
struction, and stands an an
epitome of the higher type of
farcical comedies and strives to
appeal to its auditors through their
sensibilities rather than by clap
trap methods. It treats of a uovel
subject in a novel manner, its
humor Is of the frank and free'
kind. The company, headed by
the favorite comedian, Harry Cor
boii Clarke, is said to bn of uncom
mou strength.
In Society.

"The Convict's Daughter."
"The Convicts Daughter," which
will be the attraction at the opera
house next Saturday evening, is
said to be the most magnificently
presented comedy-drama ever of-
lered to the theatre-going public,
while in incident and themett is one
ot the most powerlul, every climax
breaking with almost volcanic in
tensity. So much, by way ot intro
duction. To no into the p);iy itself,
nothing can be said to detract from
its worth. In the entire company,,
from the actor who interprets the
leadiug part down to the mere stage
loiterers, there is not one ainglc
person who has been negligently
selected or unintentionally cast.
This comedy drama, which lacks
all the melodramatic thunder of by
gone days, is new and unknown,
but cannot remain so for its mag
nificent staging at once becomes
its herald and sounds its own
alarm. Nothing has been sacrificed
to appearances, for there is brought
together a scries of incidents that
hold the interest as has nothiug
that has come beiore it. The situ
ations, the motives, the characters
commingle without the least jar
ring or tugging or straining giving
a pleasing finesse to a story that
is said to be taken trom life. The
climaxes develop quickly and break
magnificently, while the lighter
moments arc as rolling as a Sousa
march, the sentimental fragrauts
being truly natural and the comedy
bits as bparkling as the lights
which adorn the stage

' Trainmen Want More Pay.
A special tciclcgrain from Mil
waukee says: "The big railway
systems ot the country will be con
fronted with a demnnd by 100,000
members of the order of railroad
trainmen on September 15th for an
increase in wages. This will mean
an additional outlay of $1,000,000 a
mouth for wages on the railroad
systcinB or a strike which will
eclipse in extent all previous rail
way strikes. The demand will be
for an increase of 20 per cent in
wagee, which means from S10 to $20
a month increase for brakemcn and
conductors. Plans have been made
to send delegates trom each of the
400 trainmen's lodges in the coun
try to a general conlerence of rail
way, managers. Milwaukee mem
bers of the order have already paid
their assessments for the expenses
connected with the conference.
The other lodges throughout the
country have selected delegates and
as soon aB the executive board ol
railway trainmen decides on the
form they shall take the demands
will be presented. In case ot a
strike being ncccsaary organization
has been so perfected that every
road concerned can be tied up at
once. The employes have selected
for making their demand a time
when the crops arc to be moved and
the service of every man will be iu
demand. A conference with the
managers on the wage scale will be
asked, There' will be no threats
unless there is a positive refusal.
