MIKADO PERFORMANCES
TAKES PLACE
NEXT MONDAY NIGHT
The Mikado performance takes place
next Monday night at the Turner hall
and there promises to be a very large
audience. Indeed, as it is, the house is
practically sold out and there is talk of
giving two performances. The reher
sals show considerable talent, far above
the average, and it is said that the
audience will be well repaid for its at
tendance. The players are all local
with the exception of the promoters,
Mr. and Mrs. Knowlls. The singing
will be supported by the Urban orchestra
and Miss Marie Mulhollaud will preside
at the piano. It is estimated that on
Monday night there will be a SOOO house.
If this is true it will be a record
breaker.

JAMES L. O’CONNOR
DELIVERS AN ELOQUENT
ADDRESS IN CITY
James L. O'Connor of Milwaukee
former attorney-general of the state,
delivered a lecture before the Knights
of Columbus and their friends at St.
Boniface's hall, on Tuesday night. The
distinguished attorney was introduced
by Henry E. Murphy,iu a few felicitous
words. Mr. O’Connor addressed him
self to the subject: “Some Duties of
Catholics in America. He traced the
rise of Catholicity in this country, the
patriotism which had been exhibited in
legislative halls and on the battlefield
by Catholics, but did not fail to bring
out the erring qualities of the Catholic
who used his faith for political prefer
ment.
Indeed Mr. O’Connor was unsparing
in his criticism, with unusual courage
he attacked the churcii authorities, who,
for a mess of pottage sold out their
congregations to the highest political
bidder. Mr. O’Connor's address
throughout was a thoughtful inter
pretation of the duties going with
Catholic citizenship. He was forceful,
eloquent, persuasive and convincing and
the Knights hope he may be induced
agaiu to visit this aity.

Marine Engineers Arc Opposed to The

WHICH WILL CAUSE A SURE BREAK
The Tie up Makes This The l atest Open
ing on The Lakes For Some
Years Past
It will lie May 1 before any steam
boat* leave this port, hence this will
make the latest season in a number of
year*. This is unusual In th* fact that
the straits were open for lake traffic
earlier this year than for the past
twenty five years, but so far only one
boat has passed through, which came
from Buffalo ami unloaded its cargo at
Milwankeee.
The reason for the delay is caused by
a strike of the tiremeu who are holding
out for a raise of wages approximately
an increase of 15 per cent, which would
give them a daily earning capacity of
including Sunday and their board
and lodgings. From what can be
learned the Lake Carriers' association
will refuse to grant the demand of the
men and in this position of the associa
tion the marine engineers are in har
mony.
It i* only the attitude of the firemen
which ties up the lake traffic. The
season while it will Ih< shorter will be
more profitable, because the boats will
carry as much freight In the nine
months as they would in the ten. and
they will do it at a less cost in operation.
The fact that the marine engineers
are not snpjsirting the firemen will have
a tendency to bring the firemen to time
and wilV cause a bre: !r i” the stride
