I The yearly visit of gentle and gracloui Julia Marlowe in an event which Is always lookcJ forward to and enjoyed to the ( till by Omaha theater gocrx. No me In the higher ranks of player folk has a larger or stronger personal following than slio and her amply deserved popularity grows with her own de velopment ami the passing of the years , 1/iat season a llltlo over a year ago It \\a * . ttjo week before the much anticipated but ill-starreJ Mansfield "festival" Miss Mar lowe and Ilobert Tabcr were together , and the engagement , coming In the most desperate of dull times , wes only a partial miccess flnsnclally , although "Ilomola" and the Gtakctipearcan ptojs presented gave unmixed satisfaction , as Miss Mailowo's productions Uau lly do , to very mniiy people. At present the box ofllcc prospect Is greatly brightened nnd signs point to Rood business at Iloyd's during this engagement. Miss Marlowo la tnor J than ever generous to the Omaha pub lic , In giving no less than five performances. Her sweet nnd tender Juliet has been seen tooro Bcvetal times and there will bo a. natural curiosity to learn It she has still further oerfectcd what bid fair to be the best Juliet of the present day. "Ingomnr" ho has not played lately In Omaha , If Indeed eho ever appeared Jiero os I'arthenla. H fwft'a her very earliest success and she still remains unexcelled In the tole. The riew piece , "For IJonnlo Prince Charlie , " which will possibly attract the most attention among these who crave novelty , has been highly commended In Now York and Chicago and elsewhere , and la certain to bo enjoyed In Omaha. The Incidental and cntr' acte music for a romantic dranla like "For llonnlo Prince Charlie" Is almost as Imposing In quantity ns the score of an opew. Mian Marlowe's t views rn this subject find decided expression In this , her latest production. She holds that the careful treatment of a play In ro- upcct of Its national and epochal character istics of dress ana scenic details Is Inade quate without equal attention being paid to -the musical accompaniment , and she be lieves further tliat the same care should bo bestowed In the selection of the music bo- twceu tlio acts a ? upon that Intended to en- harwu the effect of situations , to add to the pootlc atmosphere and to emphasize the sentl- tnonts expressed In the lines of the play. This matter has not been sumclctitly con- Bldercd hitherto In this country , alUiough Mr. Mansfield has made BOIIIO efforts In the di rection ot aeeoid between the stage- perform ance and the accompanying and Intcrludccl music. Sir Henry Irving has done much toward the same end In England. To carry out this detail of music -Is not teasy. It Is necessary to look carefully Into the history not only of the national music of the people concerned In the pl-iy , but also Into the general history of music. In order , If pos sible , to make the selections appropriate. The primitive national music of Scotland , millch has to be studied In preparing for the adequate production of such a play as "For CDonnlo I'rlnco Charlie , " Is extraordinarily rich. It sprang from the hearts of a people -who had groit sorrows and many wars. They > vore almost constantly lighting , either for their own freedom or for some principle. They were always surrounded by romantic Eccnery. Those elements gave to their music a virility and a spontaneity which is unsur passed. The oldest music of Scotland la that ot the Highlands , a music which comes down from a dim and shadowy period of early . .tradltidnvhcn Hn&il fought ana Osslan sans. Itvoa not until the eighteenth cen tury that the songs of Scotland were printed , IAt about that time a musician of Edinburgh devoted some ye-irs to traveling over Scot land anil collecting the melodies as they were .then sung anil played by the peaplp , and the Scottish airs became a recognized factor In nchools of music. The cause of the exiled house ot Stuart gave rlso to many Scotch songs , and the Jacoblto songs of Scotland are not only the best , but are favoiltes today at the court of Great Britain , as If to prove that the whirli gig of time brings Its revenge. They consist for the most part of new words sot to an cient melodies. Even the national anthem , \va8 originally a song which 'It was treason to sing , and which was Inspired by the hopes and the memories , the rights and the wrongs of the Stuarts. H was adopted by the par tisans ot the Hanoverian king as their own after the final collapse- the Jacobite cause at the battle of Cullodcn. The aongs used In "For Bonnie Prince Char lie" were all songs of the people ot the period , otid were all inspired by the Jacobiterising. . "Charlie la My Darling , " "The Young Chev alier. " "Wha's for Scotland and Charlie , " "Tho Hundred Pipers" and "Hey , Johnny ICopo" are examples , the last named having sprung up In derision ot the defeat and ig nominious flight ot tiia English general at Preston Pans. All the melodies played by the orchestra , and those Incidental to the action of the play , are ancient Scottish and Jacoblto songs. In addition to those men tioned flno effect Is given by the Introduc tion of "Farewell to Lochaber , " which Ilob ert Louis Stevenson declared to be the mad dest song ever aung. CoillllIK ICvi'IltM. More than ordinary Interest will be taken In Julia Marlowe's Omaha appearance this year , which will occur at Jioyd's theater the first four days ot next wer/c , as the plans for the production of tba tnrcc plays an nounced are especially elaborate. On the first two nights and at the Wednesday matlneo the bill will bo "For Bonnie Prince Charlie , " a , Scotch drama that has established Miss Marlowo In now favor In the larger cities. On Wednesday evening "Jtomeo and Juliet" jwlll bo given as never before by a road company. An adequate scenic dress , mag- plflccnt costumes and a small army of auxil iaries will render the pictures life-like and full ot nctlct ) , "Ingomar" will close the en gagement on Thursday evening , and will doubtless bo received enthusiastically as bringing forward again Miss Marlowe as Parthciita , one ot her most congenial charac terizations. The story of "For Bonnie Prlnco Charlie" opens In'tho Klrkyard of Clanmorrls , where the deliberation Is going on OH to whether the clan shall join the rising to attempt to place on the throne Charles Edward Stu art. The chief , Lord Clanmorrls , and his wife have been unable to arouse the patriotism of the clan , but they finally lis ten to tbo pleadings ot Augua , an old blind man , once rich but now poor , and his grand daughter Mary ( Miss Marlowe ) . It Is decided that tbo clan will support I'rlnco Charlie. ' Mnry loves the prince , and when there arises a rumor ot an Intrigue between him am ) Lady Dora , the wife of Lord Clanmorrls , eho subdues her Jealousy and resolves to save tlio couple. She permits herself to be found at the rendezvous of the lovers and diverts suspicion from Lady Dora. Her own reputation Is ruined , but she sacrifices herself gladly for bonnlo Prlnco Charlie. The last net takes place after the defeat of the Scot tish force and when the prlncu la a fugitive. ( Lady Dora Is dead , but Lord Clanmorrls has learned1 the truth and attempts to kill the prince , who Is saved again by Mary. She In- eplrcs Clanmorrls with patriotism and love , iwlilch overcome his personal resentment , There are very few repertory companies now traveling tlio west that are better equipped than the A. Y. Pearson Stock com pany. A sot of well known melodramas and comedies , each of which has made a metro politan Buccrss , Is ono of the Important fac tors. For each production the company carries special scenery , and a team of white Ijoroca travels In u special car to take part In several of the plays presented. Such ecenlo effects are rarely shown by a travel ing combination , the expense of transporting tba scenery and properties being too great. To complete the successful production of these plays o competent company of clover people , well known In the theatrical pro- fceslon , lias been gathered together. Among them are sucli players as Hay Ltiwls Bron- eon , Oracle Plalsted , Adah Sherman , Howard IB , Caetlo , Pletrn Sotsio , IJuReno Kay J. Hush mronuon , A. W. llrummel ) , Colin Campbell , SI. 0. Btubbe. Fred U. Sullivan and othcro equally well known , Each production pre sented by this company la said to be com plete In everything that goes to make a successful play. "A novel and handsome costume , EUCU as fcns never been eeeu on the American stage before , will bo worn by Katberlno Qermaluo In tba forthcoming production of "Tho Isle of. Champagne" opera at Uie Boyd'a theater for four nights , commencing next Sunday , It consists entirely of jewels and wan made after Mies Ucrroilnc'a own design. Although the fitones nro not "first water" the com pleted dr < fls coat J1.2C3. and their effect over the footlights Is quite dazzling and splendid. After Miss flcrmalno iad projected the Idea she visited n number ot New York coetumcra who told her that such a drcea was an Impos sibility. However , she finally found ono willing to undertake the making , and under her directions was built , rather than made , ono of the moat gorgeous gowns ever were by a prlma donnn. It consists of perfect Imitation diamonds , emeralds , rubles , pearls and other precious stones and la mounted on a gauze from which they glisten In cx- qul.ilto beauty. The prosperous engagement of Robert Mantel ! In "A Secret Warrant" at the Crclghton will como to a close today with two performances , afternoon and evening. No production for many years has achieved greater success financially and otherwise than that which has been accorded to "Tho Qlrl from Paris" during Its phenomenally long engagement In London and New York. It Is ono of these attractions which might Justly bo termed comlo opera , and practically Is such. The score Is by Ivan Caryll. To Inter pret the burlesque Mr. Hlco has selected a company of some forty or fifty people , whcso standing In their several branches ot the theatrical profession In unquestionable. In addition to the excellent cast which rep resents the piece , the dainty Mile. Flcurctto will accompany the production nnd render her now creation , "La Parlslcnnc. " Mamlo Qllroy , who won fame for many ot the Iloyt farces , will appear In the title role , and William Ulnlsclell os Augustc Pompier the amusing and volatile French spy. 1Cdgar Halstcad will assume the re sponsibilities ot "the shining light , " Ebeno- . zcr Honeycomb , and James Sullivan portrays the Spa Hotel proprietor. Hans. J. C. Mar lowe plays Major Fossdyko of the Battersea Butterfly shooters , Phillips Tomes has left the Bostonlans to Join the company and will act the part of Tom Everlelgh , the barrister. Carrie Bohr , who played the tltlo role In "Excelsior Jr.will appear an "Uuth" In the famous slavey and render "Sister JIary Jane's Top Note , " whllo Clara Lavlno Is to ploy "Norah , " the daughter of the Honeycombs. Grace Belasco Is also a member of the company , which , throughout Its entirety , Is of the same standard as Indicated by the names already given. The chorus Is also composed ot many pretty young women whose voices add materially to the production. The visit of the Hoosler poet to Omaha this month Is awakening a wide Interest. Already orders for seats are coming In from neigh boring towns. It is easy to see why this Interest Is so general. James Whltcomb fllley has sung the songs of this life ns no ono csu ! has done and Is safely enshrined for all time in the love of his fellowmen. His melodies are a part of our lives. He has published lg all seven volumes , which have run through a number of editions both In America and England. Book dealers say that there Is a greater demand for Ulley's poems than for those of any other poet living or dead. A more successful tour than his last , six years ago , has not been re- Qorded. His programs , always new , present such a variety , such a range of dramatic action that an evening with him Is an event. With the exposition music uppermost In the public mlnJ and the question about to be solved whether or not the musical depart ment shall bo made a feature that will ap peal to the cultured all over the. land , or an Insignificant sideshow to entertain the unmusical , or whether It shall bu conducted along broad and comprehensive lines and made to appeal to all tastes ; to bo able to furnish music for the frequenters of Boston Music hall and the Chicago audi torium and also for 'the ' tired village store keeper and the lovesick swain who would rather talk to his best girl than listen to JIM best music on earth , It will be Interest- UK to look Into Omaha's past history and square the present by what was done then. No ono Is willing to admit that Omaha has deteriorated during the past ten years In culture and taste , even If business has been bad and many were obliged > to temporarily dispense with the advantages then enjoyed. The culture of a city generally comes to stay , arid when cultured people are obliged to give up refined enjoyments they prize them the more and are all the more likely to appropriate them when the opportunity comes , . This was Illustrated last season by the magnificent audience that greeted Mme. Nordlca and the enthusiasm that prevailed throughout the entire evening. The highest class of music was enjoyed Intensely , largely because It was so wqll done , and the exposi tion will , ot course , conduct Its musical de partment on the Eamo basis It It concludes to establish It on an artistic plane. Medioc rity never pays. ' On Friday evening , February 24 , 1887 , In the old exposition Jiulldlng the corner of Fourteenth street and Capitol avenue , Mme. Adellna Pattl and her company of artists gave their flrst concert in this city In the presence of over 5,000 people. The box ofllce receipts amounted to $10,450 , of which sum $9,600 was a net profit to Henry E. Abbey , manager , and to Mme. Pattl. If big things could be done In those- days they can be done In the near future and the b-lg things pay. Could Mr. Max Meyer have sold a house for $10,000 without a great attraction ? People go to a box olflco to get their money's woith quite as surely as they go to a store for the same purpose. It required a full hour to scat the audi ence. Hallroads ran special trains , society was on hand with all Its culture and enthu siasm. John .M. Thurston , Henry Estabrook and Governor and Mrs , Thayer were lei the audience. The hall was still decorated with the festoonery and masquery of the recent Mardl Gras , for the Ak-Sar-Bcn bad not been born 'In 1887. It was a great feast of art to which a hungry people sat down with the keenest appreciation. Mine. Pattl was on her way east from a tour through Mexico and the cities ot the Pacific coast. In San Francisco a crank wanted to blow up the opera house and ex ploded a'bomb during the concert. The-prlma donna was somewhat scared , but the pluck which haa made her the foremost singer of the world did not desert her and she con tinued singing as If bombs were her usual accompaniment. She had another Interesting flxpcrlenco on this Journey. In coming down the mountains west of .El Paso , Tex. , the air brakes refused to work and the train made a wild rusb of ninety miles an hour around curves and oi > the edges of precipices until It reached the valley below. Surely such a rldo was enough to take even a singer's breath away. Mine. Pattl traveled In her own private car , but stopped In this city at the Mlllard hotel , having parlors 125 , 126 , 127 , 128. No. 12G was her Bleeping room , On Friday evening , the day of the concert , Mme. Pattl and her husband , Slgnor Nlco- Ilnl , were entertained at dinner , by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Itosewater , the other guests b - Ing Mr , and Mrs , Andrew Koscwater and Miss Neally Stevens , who played for the company after the dinner was over and was- enthusiastically complimented by Slgnor Nkollnl , who Is a line pianist himself. As a souvenir of so pleasant an hour Mme , Pattl presented to Mrs. Honewater , her host ess , a unique arrow-shaped pin Inlaid with rubles and diamonds , Thu artists who assisted Mme , Pattl were Mmo. Scalchl , contralto ; Monsieur Qullle , tenor ; Slgnor Galassl , baritone ; Slgnor No varo , basso ( an Englishman under an Italian name and a reminder ot the days when U was not supposed -tliat an Englishman , or an American could by any posslbllty be an art ist ) , and Slgnor Ardltl , conductor , who brought with him eighteen orchestra ) musl- clana. For the concert these were augmented by twenty-six local players. Too program contained for the orchestra the overture to "Zimpa" und ( lie march from 'Tho Prophet , " also many of the accompani ments , Slgnor Galassl sang DI Provvnza , from "Tavlata , " the Toreadore song from "Carmen" and with Qulllo and Novaro tlio great trio from " .Wllllanj. Tell , " Mme. Seal. i rhl sang her old stand-by , No till Signer , fr m the "Huguenots. ' Gullto contributed a IIo- manza , by Verdi , and the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria , Novnro came In for the Cantlque dc Noel , by Adam. Mmc. Pattl sang Anlon gl'lnccnsl ( known as the Mad Scene ) from "Lucia dl Ijtmmertnoor , " and the "Last nose of Summer. " The second port cf the program consisted of selections from the opera "Semlramlde , " by Itnsslnl , done In costume by Mmes. Pattl nnd Sealcht and Slgnor Novaro. Signer Ar- dltt conducted. Such was the musical menu that marked an epoch In the musical history of Omaha , On her entire tour Mmc. IMtU wns not greeted with greater enthusiasm than by the peo-.ile of this city. It was not because they "had money to burn" either , for money In one's pocket and brains In one's head are not by necessity co-Incident conditions , and It takes brains to enjoy a fine concert , * The Exposition Auditorium Is to bo so situated that It will bo easy of access from anywhere In the city. The Improved trans portation facilities which the exposition wilt call Into being will bring It nearer to the average door so far as tlmo Is concerned , and that Is the way distance Is measured now adays than the theaters are now. It will bo built according to plans which will make a veritable summer pleasure palace , where , on the hottest evenings , the people will bo more comfortable than at homo or anywhere else , During the exposition Omaha will have a largo-transient population , with no place In which to stay excepting a hot , stuffy room In a hotel or boarding house , and no place to which to go excepting the two theaters , a few beer gardens and the Auditorium. If the exposition attracts the crowds It expects to there will bo 10,000 people searching for n place where they can spend their evenings pleasantly and the Auditorium con bo easily filled seven nights In the week by the most re fined and cultured of them. Military bands are good enough in their place , but as a steady diet they become very nauseous. Nashville was severely criticised for providing nothing but bands for the musical entertainment of Us visitors and when tones was there ho organ ized a chorus for a musical festival that was the great event of the exposition. The United States Marine band has been In Chicago cage during the last few days playing at the horse show , but after the flrst few num bers It failed to hold the attention of the people. A band can say Its say In a very short time. Besides this as a promoter of public culture , the exposition has an opportunity which al most , If not quite , amounts to a duty. There Is no reason why It may not have a fine musical department capable of giving musical entertainments of all kinds and adapted to all kinds of tastes. Such a department will cost It no more than a 1st of high-priced bands. It can have for the asking conven tions , congresses and festivals that will bring thousands of people to the city and whose admission fees will swell Us gate receipts. It can provide light music for those who prefer It , oratorios and symphonies for these who prefer them and at the same time educate and entertain Its own people , without whoso aid there would bo no exposition and who have a right to bo heard as to Us nature , because they will bo expected to support It when the gates are opened. A great chorus will put Omaha In the closest touch with the singers of surrounding cities If they are made a pail of It. A great orchestra and band will afford abundant re sources for the performance of every kiad of music and be a continual Inspiration to the multitudes whom It Is absolutely necessary to entertain. The exposition will stand before the In telligent people of the whole world ; let It command their admiration. . HOMER MOORE. August S. Borglum is one of the younger pianists of this city who Is coming to the fron.t. , He Is a native of Omaha and is a son of Dr. J. JL.Borglum. . Two of his brothers are artists of considerable prominence and a taste for art seems to be a family trait. Hans Albert 'is spending about seven liours a day practicing ihls violin. This may ac count for the .way In which he plays. Those who think that musicians are born artists are misinformed. Artists are talent developed and nothing but work ever develops any thing. This afternoon J. E. 'Butler ' will give his third organ recital In Trinity cathedral. He will be assisted by Miss Helen Burnham , soprano , and Will McCunc , baritone. The pro gram _ wlll consist of selections by Batiste , Munroo , Faure , Mendelssohn , Wagner , Du- dols , Gounod , and Walter Spinney. The pro- formance will begin at 4 o'clock. Omaha Isto have another male quartet and there Is every reason to expect for It a successful future. The members are Dan II. Wheeler , Jr. , Luther C. Hazelton , Charles S. Haverstock and Luclen B. Copeland. The organization Is aa outgrowth of the Mendels sohn society , and will be known as the Men. delssohn Male quartet. Its debut was made recently by giving a concert in Plattsmouth , with the assistance of Miss AVIlhelmlna Lowe , harpist , and a very satisfactory en gagement Is reported. A concert for the benefit of St. Paul's Mission , church will , be given tomorrow even ing by the Trinity cathedral quartet at the auditorium of the Young Men's Christian association , and Mrs. Jussen-Donnelly , speaker , and Robert Cuscaden , violinist , will assist. The quartet consists of Mrs. Cotton , Miss Saiah Bowen , Walter Wllklns and Jules Lumbard , surely a strong Combination. The program Includes fourteen numbers se lected from the works of Rossini , Alabieff Mars'ton ' , Pap'lnl ' , Plnsuti , Godard , Ambrose Thomas and others. Mrs. Cotton will sing the "Invocation" by d'lHardelot that made the favorable Impression before the Woman's club chronicled In The Bee a few days ago. J. E. 'Butler ' iwlll play the a'ccompanlments.

MAIC13 AX AI'I'IS.YI , 1C OH llrlllsli ICllKlilrcTH A.slc Alii of Anier- lemi Workmen In Their Strike. An earnest effort Is being made by the Amalgamated Society of Engineers of Great Britain to raise funds to carry ou the struggle gle- now in progress for an eight-hour day. A representative of the society arrived In New York a few days ago for the purpose of enlisting the sympathy and co-operation of engineers and union laborers generally in the United States. Ho will devote him self especially to soliciting contributions from American engineers to assist their brethren In England to support their families while the strike is going om They need $100,000 a week , and the resources of the labor unions of England , which have contributed liberally < to the aid of the engineers , are practically exhausted. They argue that their defeat in the present strike will have a serious effect upon the eight-hour move ment In this country , and now that times have improved and every mechanic who will can find work on this sldde of the water , the engineers of England confidently appeal for contributions. In tills connection the fol lowing letter from the secretary of the en gineers' union speaks for Itself : LONDON , Ens. , Oct. 20. To the Editor of The Hee : The brief cabled reports which have been appearing In the American papers relative to the labor war now being foug-ht out In England do not appear to have conveyed a correct impression of the situa tion. T'.ic ' tight primarily for a reduction oC hours has developed by Biases , too minute to particularize. Into a pitched bat tle between organized workmen and organ ized employers. The one struggling to K- servo that combination which has won for English -workmen higher wages , shorter hours and bettor conditions of labor ; the other to destroy that combination. Early In July a meeting of employers was held In Carlisle at which a forecast of the cam paign was discussed. In this some ama teur prorfiet stated that In seven weeks the men would be ben on and In elKht works would lie iK-BKlng to bo taken back , tlion , paid the writer , wo shall of course only en- gngc those who renounce the unions and apply IXH "free laborers. " Since then Colonel Dyer ( president of the masters' combina tion ) , Mr. Siemens ( their London representa tive ) and .Mr. Fletcher ( cmlrnuin of the Ship Ucpalr assocl.Ulon ) h.we nil expressly stated mat the eight hours 1ms but little to do with the conflict , the real object Is to nbollsh the Interference of the men's or- gnnlzatlon and to g.iln for the employers "the right to do what they will mlln ihelr own. " Mr. Siemens , Indeed , tins gone fur ther In saying "wo want to get rid of trades unionism altogether , " On their own side the masters have been fighting with relent- ess cruelty. Ono employer showed me four letters received one any from firms with whom ho did business refusing1 to glvo him further orders unless ho Joined the federa tion. With tears In his eyes he told me that ho would either hnvo to enter the bank ruptcy eouit or withdraw the concession of n shorter day granted to hU employes. A nei-k later he ranged himself with the fed eration forces. All over the country thotjjnnds of men hnvo been thrown out of employment meiely because they had elected to grant n cer tain i > ortlon of their -wages to the dispute fund. As 1 write I hear of a body of Lan cashire car men discharged for this heinous offense and this alone. The dispute haw now lasted fifteen weeks. The engineers have ppeiit lavishly of their funds support ing not only their own members , but also these of other unions nffected. llpallr.lng the position , and remembering that In tno days of prosperity the Amalgamated Kn- Klnecrs have freely gr.intcil lr-l,000 ( Jv.'O.OOO ) to other labor organizations lighting for bet ter conditions , 1 have no hesitation In np- penllng to the liberality of American friends of labor to assist the men to win this light. The English of all classes nro responding magnificently to the appeals that have been made , but JlOO.OOi ) a week nre required , niul this can only be raised by subscriptions from sympathizers all over the world. Sums , however small , can bo sent to Mr. O. N. Hurtles , A. S. 13. OIllcos , Stamford street , London , Eng. , orMo Vtiv Dally Chronicle ur Morning Leader , London , UIIR- . This ttwnt wun begun by London engineers for London engineers , the employers have made It Into a Bcnor.nl engagement between capital and labor over the -\\hole Held. We have no right to complain of this , but money Is needed from a wide area to keep the men out. They have behaved well and deserve well. Q , N. BAHNES , Scerctary Amalgamated Society of En gineers. In addition to appealing for funds It Is wlj the engineers' agent In this country Is empowered to confer with the various or ganizations In this country as to the prac ticability of a sympathetic strike on this side of the water. It Is held that this Is the greatest struggle between organl/ed labor and capital that lias ever been Inaugurated In the world , and that the icsult , whatever It may be , will have a permanent Influence upon the Interests of labor. If the eight-hour move ment falls la England they declaie that -It cannot succeed In the United States , and It has been suggested that the demand which Is to be made on May 1 , next , by all the trades In thu United States for an eight-hour working day might be made Immediately , on December 1 or on January 1 at the latest In order to strengthen the movement In Eng land. land.Tho The men now on strike In England are said to be determined not to surrender until they have dellnlto information that their brethren In the United States will not Join them. In the meantime they hope to re- cclvo contributions of money. There arc 'be tween 300,000 and 400,000 mechanics Involved in this strike , and a majority of them have families to support. Many of them had de posits In the savings banks when thu strike was declared last July , but the greater pan of their funds have been withdrawn and ex hausted , anil a shilling a day to each family Is thu lowest estimate of the necessities of the case.
