TJTTC REPUBLIC: SUXDAY. OCTOBER 2$. J!)00. DISCLOSES METHODS OF THREAD TRUST. THE GLO MiGHTY VOLUME OF MONDAY BARGAINS! WILL CROWD THE BIG STORE TO-MORROW! BE'S W V 1 T fi James "W. Jump Shows ITow Two Companies in Combination Forced Up Their Prices. DEALER'S PROFIT IS TAKEN. Salesmen 'Are Now Frantically "Spotters"' to Prevent Sell ing of Goods Below Schedule Kates. James W. Jump, chairman cf the National Democratic Commit: o of Commercl-il Trav elers Is MM hot after the trusts, lie has discovered another Iniquitous combine In tho Epool Cotton Trust, although, as ho himself says, this Is no moro Iniquitous than Its fel low-trusts Her Is what lie. has to say bout the Spool Cotton Trust. " There, are no trut.' says Mark Hanna. The few things which th Democrat call trusts are merely business combination, en tirely for tho benefit of tho dear people They provide labor for the cimw. and by economy In production giro the people tho goois at a greatly reduced price. "That's what Mark Hanna, savs Now. let's see how this -works cut In the case of the SposJ Cotton Trust. "In ths first place, ls there a spool cotton trust? Tho evidence that thero Is Is so pit em that a very brief statement will con vlace any Intelligent person that there not only Is a spool cotton trust, but thst !t is one of the most extortionate and -.'clous of all the trusts. It Is perfectly organized and absolutely controls tho production and sale cf spool cotton the world over. Two Companies In Trust. "What are tho constituent elements of this trust? There are two principal com binations, one known n. the Spool Cotton Company, the other as the American Thread Company. Tho brands controlled by tho fret company are Coatc. O. N. T.. Mile End. 3rooks & Chadwlc. The brands con trolled directly bv the other are Merrick's. Wllltaantlc. William Clark's, and Kerr & BarstoWs. Thesa combined brands repre sent ail the first-quality six-cord cotton rsed la the world. The Spool Cotton Com pany Is capitalised at SSlwO'iO. The Amr lcan Thread Company Is capitalized at $141. 000.000. "What are tho evidences that these two mammoth concerns are one and the same? The first and most material evidence of this combination Is the Indisputable fact that In the matter of prices, terms and method of distribution they are working hand In hand. Identically the same prices and terms controlling all brands, and tho entire product being distributed through the same channels. "Socond It Is a matter of fact that one of the members of the Hxecutlve Committee of Three of the American Thread Company, la whose hands rests the entire control of this company, la also a member of the Hoard of Directors of the Spool Cotton Com pany: this Is a fact not ctnerallly known, for obvious reasons. Third When a merchant Is blacklisted that Is, when it is prov ed that he has been cutting the price of any brand of spool cot ton as fixed by the trust all tho traveling men of both companies, are notified not to call on, solicit or accept an order from said merchant until he has restored tho price. It Is plain that, were they not In a com bine, the salesmen of the opposing company. Instead of being notihtd tu aHy anay, would be rushed off to git tho order. Should ihli tame merchant order from a Jobber and We jobber nil the order, the Utter would lose the small margin of prolit he Is allowed for belling the giKids. itils rob ber combination was, ettected la lhii in New Jersey, tho tester mother of tho llepuhlican trusts. What, now, were tho conuiiioiis of the spool cotton industry m trus country immediately before this combination. und what waj tne direct ana Immediate eitect of this corauiuatloii upon the lndu-try? JM ' "Before tho trust was effected the prod IB m t-ct of the fcpool Cotton Company was sold II iat lh tolIl,wlnS prices and terms, i-t cent ji2tr',So"a 1 and 2 per cent, and if tho wmJ&taltr purchased 5M dozen within Mx W- incnth Be received u, bonus of V) per cent . .uiuiwu iu ma regular discount, with no questions asked a to how ha utstributed what ha bought. In other words, one ue.u r la a loAn, for the purpose of untalMitg tU bonus, cuuld buy ite sputa cotton lor all the dealers m the town and give each cealer the price-advantage of the uonup, er b could job it to tho cuuntrj mercnams.

Many folk who heard the Trench tenor. Charles Gauthler. with the Clurle opra, will be pleased to l-arn of his tivagLinent an a mlolst of the Musical Festival Associ ation for Novembers. Manager Grau of the Metroio!Itan Opera Company endeavored to secure his bervlces for this season, but Gauthier wih weary of travel, and as-socl-ated hims.'lf with the Chicago Musical Col lege. As a jouth. Gaulnler attracted tlio attention of Marquis dc Chenevlere. the Minister of Fine Art", who placed him in the .Paris Conservatoire, where he studied with the best master. When he made his debut In Parts In "Guldo e Ginevra." ho achieved an instantaneous success, and was engaged for the entire season. The four seasons following he created the leading tenor roles In all the new productions al the Ilov.il Theater In The Hague. His nct season was distributed through tho chitf cities of Soutli America. The following year he returned to France and was for live si.isons the tenor in I.jons. Hordcauv, Mar Mllles and rari. Two years ago he Joined tho I-rench Grand Opera Company In New Orleans. Then he determined to reside per manently In the United States. M. Gauthler is a tlnibhed actor. Dispatches from New York indicate tho success of Mrs. Van Studdlfonl as Iady Harriet in "Martha." Several of th New York papers made pleasant mention of her firM appearance. The audience was "strnll. but r.ppretlatlve." Mrs. Van Studdiford will probably mako other appearances with tho Savage-Grau organization.

Is .111 important event In the history of the American stage. We think that he will become to his own day and generation, in nil essentials, what Mr. I'ooth wjX Uvjil', the accepted Hamlet, for c ich geii-eratlon will choose ?or Itself what It will r ivc. and he is In harmony with his gimraJ.'n. "Thoio who watched the evolution of Mr. 15, oth's Hamlet know- well that he passed through m ir.y stages of progress and of seeming retrogression before, he culminated Into that Intellectuality and morally biau tiful cr,. itlon he showed nt the last. "His joung linn. let wa most fasvlniting In Its exuberaiK-e; then ramu a crstJ!Uzel intellectual Hamlet, with hardly more blood In his velrs or marrow- Iu his boms than In the ghost of his father, th. n at last his consummated Hamlet, with the splrltJ-.l-Int llectual dcvelop.il to Its highest, cul mi'Mtins In his reading of the lines, 'If it Ih? now. 'tis not to come; If it be not to come, it will U- now; If it be not now. ct It will come, th- readliics is all.' which nlvvavs brought the unbidden tear to tho c ard sent one's soul soaring aloft." In a littlo talk on the requisites for good acting- Mr. Joseph Je'ferson said not long ago. "Mjii actors, have failed on tile plat form, and many or.iturs have failed to make gooel actors. The reason for this ls that an orator talks to his uudlence, while a good nclor acts tor his audience. Sinceri ty is an actor's greatest requisite for suc cess, and when ho fails to perform his part so as to please his audience and not tn satisfy himself it follows that he cannot Eticci-ed. It is sometimes etistomarj for ge'iilus to look with contempt upon art. Hut art is needed with genius by ail actors, and unless they study their parts so as to make their lines natural and characteristic of the play, all genius Is lost, mid the audience LU to appreciate their efforts. Garrick, when aked nuce whither he considird tragedv or comedy tlio most important, said. 'I can do tragedy whether 111 or In disposed, but comedy is serious business nil tlio time.' A cotnt-dian should be serious in his work. Ho should not prcelve the hu mor ot tho situation at any time. Tho In st con;ed Hues are sometimes spoiled by a smile on the part of tho actor."

After assist ing in suppressing the Indians Serg?ant Gc-p-I-r grew tired of the piping times eif peace and when his term ot enlistment ex pired, sought new adventurea In Mexico. He had learned considerable about mining; while in the army and he determined ! take a long prospecting trip. He follow tut the mountains us for south, as the Central American countries and then turning around, followed them north, stopping far up In British Columbia. I'ortune falllns to favor him. ho again turned about and retraced his long trail. Three times he. re turned to Southern Mexico, and in 1VS when tho rich gold discoveries were made. In Alaska ho went to Dawson Cdty. At last his long search for gold -was re warded. His property, twenty-three miles; from Daw sen, paid, and after working it three years he decided to return to his old home for a visit. Several jc-ars before go ing to Alaska he was married.

After spend ing another year or so In Alaska, Mr. Geis ler and his wife will return to Milwaukee, to live. "1 have been running around over half mv life, and I want to settle, down a boon as I can. and enjoy myself." said Mr. Gehsler yesterday.
