the University Settlement of Chicago,
to advocate the passage of the bill.
It is only about fifty years since wo
men made their appearance in the In
dustrial world hence the necessity for
legislation in their behalf. In this
bill congress is asked to authorize
the secretary of commerce and labor
to investigate and report upon the in
dustrial, social, moral, educational and
physical condition of women and child
workers in the United States. Such
an investigation is needed in order to
obtain proper legislation in regard to
women's work. There are hundreds
of thousands of helpless, untrained,
unorganized women without power of
legislating for themselves who are
forced to work for their daily bread
and it is of vital importance that the
conditions under which they work
should not be detrimental to their
moral or physical well-being.
Friends here have received word
from Dr. and Mrs. Devitt of a pleasant
visit with friends in Vancouver, B. C.
After spending a week in that city,
they left Dec. 10 for Los Angeles, Cal.
at which place and other points of in
terest in the land of sunshine, flowers
and oranges they will sojourn for a
time, returning to this city sometime
in January.
The ladies of St. Paul Guild have
under consideration a plan whereby
the young people of the city may have
the benefit of a domestic science course
of lectures given with demonstrations
by Mrs. Marion C. Fisher who is well
known in this city, having given a
course of lectures in Mr. Wilder's
store over a year ago. This is an op
portunity which ought to be taken
advantage of, as Mrs. Fisher is an ex
pert and has an interesting way of
imparting knowledge. Anyone who is
desirous of joining a cooking class, are
requested to communicate with Mrs.
Chas. Robinson, and if enough en
couragement is given the project, a
class will be formed.
A "bunch" of high school boys and
girls will gather this evening at Miss
Mabel Clarke's residence on South
Fourth street, and if the clerk of th
weather permits will enjoy a sleigh
ride. After an hour or two of driving,
the fun and frolic will continue for the
remainder of the evening with Miss
Mabel as hostess. Refreshments will
bo served.
Mr. R. T. Cady left last night for
New York to accompany his aged
mother from Weber, X. Y. to Des
Moines where she will visit her daug
ter. As soon as school closes Mrs.
Cady and the children will join them
there and a family reunion will be en
joyed.

Miss Havnes is the White House so
cial secretary, and is now most active
ly engaged in preparing plans for the
many elaborate social functions which
will take place at the White House
this winter.
About 150 people attended the re
ception and banquet at Fargo in honor
of Governor-elect Burke, last night.
The reception was given in the Com
mercial club rooms and his admirers
and friends were given an opportunity
to offer congratulations. The banquet
was an elaborate affair and was held
in Stone's hall. Col. John D. Benton
acted as toastmaster after which Mr.
Burke made a brief speech, followed
by Lieutenant Governor-elect Lewis,
Dr. Beard, Bishop Mann, Judge Enge

The music lovers of the city are
looking forward to a treat this evening
at the M. E. church when the Wesley
college conservatory of music will
have charge of the program for the
regular meeting of the Thursday musi
cal. Prof. Stout is the director, and
has already established an enviable
reputation both in the city and the
state, as a musician, as has also Mrs.
Stout an Miss Leonard.
Local theatricals have had a won
derful change during the last few
years and now owing to the keen bus
iness and great enterprise of C. P.
Walker who controls the Red River
Valley circuit are to have some of the
best productions that visit the twin
cities. A few years ago the big city
productions were few and far between
but recently they have been following
one another with a beautiful regular
ity. Of course the past month has
been an exception but with the com
pletion of the big Walker Theater in
Winnipeg the business will once
more be placed on the plane of per
fection that marked the opening of
the present season.
The present theatrical year opened
most auspiciously, with the thermom
eter standing at 99 on the opening day
of the sale and at 96 on the day of the
performance, choice seats were at a
premium in a very short time. Then
followed "Parsifal in English" which
proved a triumph of elocution but at
was to be expected lacking in action.
"The Sign of The Jross" and "The
Everlasting Devils Auction" are all
old friends and were given the warm
reception they well deserved.

THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND FORKS, N. D.
"The College Widow" with anew and
most captivating widow took all the
ater goers by storm and the most
blase of the patrons left the theater
with smiles of satisfaction on their
faces. "In the Bishop's Carriage"
was another very thorough produc
tion. The city also had "The Lion
and the Mouse" without exception the
strongest and withal most popular of
modern dramas. "The Umpire" proved
a very satisfactory amusement'vehic
le, having the added local interest of
having two Grand Forks citizens in
the cast. Maude Fealey and Florence
Roberts who are under the managt
merit of John Cort presented the op
posite of modern rational dramas.
Miss Fealey in the "Illusion of Beat
rice" gave us the comedy that as
sured her a welcome whenever she
returns to our city and Miss Florence

a modern problem play presented in
a palatable form, practically an Ibsen
idea less all the gruesomenass.
Then there was Alberta Gallatin
who gave such a fine production of
"Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall."
Miss Gallatin has hosts of friends here
and they all feel certain that t'i»ere
are few women living who could give
portrayals of such totally different
characters as Miss Alvin in "Ghosts''
the sweet cousin in "Cousin Kate"
and the warm hearted, excitable girl
Dorothy this season.
Few people realize the amount o.
work that the control of a circuit
means in the booking of attractions
alone. Mr. Walker has to consider
the railroading for every company and
sometimes has correspondence relat
ing to bookings two years ahead, then
again he has to have offices or agents
in New York and Chicago so that he
may get in touch with productions
that are changing their route or for
some reason have open time that
might be filled to advantage on his
circuit.

by his parents when he was 3 years
old. Although only 39, he has held
public office continuously for fifteen
years.
There will be no women in the mem
bership of the next legislature of Col
orado. Four of the candidates for
representative in different localities of
the state were women, but all were de
feated.
Representative James A. Tawney of
Minnesota, who is mentioned as a
possible successor of Mr. Cannon in
the speaker's chair, has just returned
fifty and Is a native of Pennsylvania.

nor of Colorado, will not reside in the
executive mansion, but will continue
to live in his bungalow in University
Park, In order to be near the Univer

tinue chancellor.
In Oklahoma there is some talk of
electing an Indian as first Unitea
States senator from the new state.
Three men are especially mentioned
in connection with .he honor—Chief
Pleasant Porter, the Creek Indian who
is well known for his oratory Chief
Curtain, a giant full blood Chocta*
an Indian resident of Armadore and
one of the wealthiest men of his race.
At the election in Minnesota last
month the prohibitionist candidate for
governor carried but one precinct in
the entire state and this went for him
by the extremely small plurality of
one vote.
The Alabama legislature which as
sembles next month will be unique in
that four sets of brothers will be
among its members. Another odd
feature of the make-up of the legisla
ture is that there are four Smiths
among the members of the house and
they are not related.
The first congressional district of
Kansas, once a stronghold of popu
lism, cast but fifty-nine votes for the

More White, vicar of Churchstoke,

"Father of the Church of England"

one of the few clerymen living who
were ordained in the reign of King
William IV., and one, too, who has
lived in the reigns of five English sov

President and Mrs. Roosevelt In hon

their wives. It is understood that the
social events at the executive mansion
this winter are to be confined almost
wholly to those formal functions pre

and informal dinners probably will be
the only additions to the list of recep

precedent compels the president to
