WM. E. THE ASSEMBLY APPLAUDS. The Following Letter Was Read at the Last Meeting. MCEWEN, Sec.'y Fed. Trades Assembly, Duluth. My Dear Sir:—I thank you for your letter of this date. I en joyed being with the members of organized labor in Duluth on Labor Day, and speaking to them, I greatly appreciated the opportunity of talking to you and the welcome and hear ing you gave me. I assure you I have nothing but satisfaction with your arrangements, for with all that was going on on the grounds and the great crowd present, I do not see how you could con viently have bettered things. As to what you say about my defeat of course I am disap pointed, personally and other wise. I am not sorry, however, to have taken the stand I did. While defeat is perhaps a per sonal loss to me, it is not that which is to be most regretted. I regret that I shall not be in a position in congress where I could talk for the cause so near to me and, I believe, which so greatly concerns the great mass of the people. The cause is not lost, it is not dead. Defeat cannot be final, for we are right. Duty remains to us. That duty is to take up the work of educa ting the people, so that when the questions at issue in the late campaign are again sub mitted to the arbitrament of the voters we shall win a magnifi cent victory. The cause is only strengthened by the recent combat. I believe the questions con cern the workingmen of Amer ica more deeply than any other class, for they are producers. In this city, where I received so grand an endorsement, I be lieve the great majority of or ganized labor was on our side, and it is to organized labor I am 1 THE LABOR WORLD mostly indebted for the splen did vote given me at home. I shall never forget this. I think too, that from the study of this money question for four years longer there will come an al most unanimous vote for silver. I am Yours sincerely, A GREAT STOCK...

Big Bargains in Boys' Clothes. S. BURROWS, The Clothier. Walker Whiteside At the Lyceum Dec. 4 and 5. Perhaps the most pronounced and with all beneficial transition made in the annals of theatrical history of America was the ac ceptance of the school of acting in which intellectuality and re finement reign supreme as ex pounded by Edwin Booth in reference to the followers of the actings of Edwin Forest who ruled by force of a genius sub merged by artifice. Mr. White side has followed closely that school of acting on which Mr. Edwin Booth was such an able 5 (J)0«vU $5.49 $6.45 exponent and in which its ad herents study nature and place naturalness paramount in the art of acting. It is perhaps on this account that Mr. Whiteside has been hailed as the coming legitimate successor of Mr. Booth. One of Mr. Whiteside's most distinguished tributes is his simplicity of treatment of character which is singularly prominent in his portrayal of Hamlet. Mr. Whiteside's Ham let is poetic. The character which he represents is a dark, melancholy, fascinating, dream ing hero of a poem, he handles the subject as near akin to the ideal as possible, removed from actual life, and with all within the bounds of naturalness. There is an indescribable charm about the character of Hamlet which fescinates by its own personality and no one who does not possess this peculiar power of fascina tion so often described as "mag netism" can hope to attain the pinnacle of fame in this role. That Mr. Whiteside has been conceded bv all the eminent crit iques of America to be the ideal Hamlet now before the Ameri can public is really not to be wondered at, aside from his fas cinating personality he is a Hamlet to the "manor bom" endowed with a slender figure of indescriable grace of that age in life in which the most eminent critiques agree Hamlet appears in Shakespeare's immortal drama. His intelligent face il luminated by eyes which denote unfathomable genius, and a voice clear and resonate so thor ougly cupable of depicting the moods of melancholy danes. Mr. Whiteside assisted by a selected company of players will be the attraction at the Lyceum theatre Friday and Saturday, December 4 and 5, the following repertoire is announced, Friday Shakespeare's masterpiece, Ham let, Saturday matinee, The Merchant of Venice and Satur day night Othello. Mr. White side appearing as Iago and Chas. D. Herman as the Dusky Moore.
