TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION AIDS THE TELEGRAPHERS Donates Four Hundred Dol lars to Fund of Strik ing Operators SUGGEST LIMIT Proposed Law Wanted to Stop Infants From Selling Papers _><S!ESJiSSSS» > . Typographical {'TwfiipffiWcoSwcV b union No. 21, at' its meeting on Sunday afternoon, unani- j mously indorsed the proposed charter] amendments in behalf of the firemen j and policemen, union .will, at its ] next meeting, elect delegates to the I state federation of labor that is to j mee{ in -Val]/>Jo January 6. It will also assist the Franklin association of the east in its efforts to extend the eight hour movement. It • supported the San | Francisco labor council's proposition \u25a0to | issue a union labor calendar for 1908.1 This will have at its head In colors fac similes of all union labels now in use. j It subscribed for a book to be issued] by the typographical .union of Proyi-j d.^nce, R. 1., to be called "The Typo graphical History of the Past Fifty Tears." It also indorsed the advocacy of "The Printer" of St. Louis in the matter of the eight hour movement. The union donated $400 to the com mercial telegraphers' union and $100 to the telephone girls who have not as yet been returned to their former employ ment. Five propositions for membership were presented, 10 applicants were elected and 11 were obligated. During the current month 53 printers deposited cards and 35 took .withdrawal cards to go to other places to work. There is some talk among labor union people of this city about having" a law passed in this state along the linesiof the one in the state of New Yorkfthat affects children who are S3U out to earn a living for parents by sell ing newspapers. The law referred to provides that no boy under the age of 14 shall sell papers between 10 o'clock p. m. and 6 o'clock a. m. No boys under the age' of 14 are permitted to sell pa pers and none selling papers are per mitted to do so without a permit from the board of education. It Is proposed to bring this matter to thj* attention of the local unions after the election is over, -with a view to stop parents from sending boys under 10 years of age to sell papers on the streets. The mantel, grate and tile setters' union of San Francisco has completed all arrangements to receive the flag that has been awarded to it for its dis play on Labor day. This will be in the Garden rink on Mission street near Sixteenth. After the presentation there will be speech making and danc ing. \u25a0. -:.,: : W/ Brick layers" union No. 7 at its meet ing last night after the transaction of general business and the donation of $100 to the carmen, had an open house. The occasion of this was the presenta tion of a handsome and valuable silver tea service to E. J. Brandon, who re cently retired from the union to en gage in business as a. contractor. T. Nelson, who made the presentation on behalf of the union, referred to Mr. Brandon's work for the association of which he was president- for 14 con secutive terms and declared that by his conscientious efforts he had done much to bring the union to its present high standard among labor organizations. The union then' served refreshments and the members listened to a short talk by ex-President Brandon. He was then presented a set of resolutions ex pressive of the union's appreciation Jof his services and high regard of him. Iron molders' auxiliary has appointed Joseph Keefer, J. Meehan and J. O'Mal ley a committee to arrange for a social evening and smoker In" Liberty : hall on November 9. Daniel Dean- was elected treasurer to fill trie unexpired term of W. Brown.

She s was of the Tivoli fcorps t when v the ' carth f trembled Ko.violeritly^lastiyear, and since then > her value ias Tan artist has Increased about 100.per cent. When she : left: the.; ruins : her voice* was '_ the only asset, she -possessed that was h worth mentioning, and -;\u25a0 while \u25a0\u25a0 1 13 quality and range .were V pleasing, it lacked the charm that comes; of prac tice, as- a"; professional,; and* her.' acting was awkward. • Now, she has come \u25a0 back to us with all those defects -remedied to. a degree that \ proves i ; her <; to; have been a ; studious \u25a0 young;.w*oman : ad|ln-" terim. .^Her' diction. and; general s ; use of her , vocal - resources ;, is thoroughly, artistic and : she ; shows the self : posses-^ sion and technique 6f a veteran actress. Another; former ?Tivolian; \u25a0 butt who has -;not : improved since >. he ; last .was here, o is } Harry \u25a0 Cashmah,^ comedian. Once upon a time he shared with; Ferris Hartman: the vi honors J f or '% f unmaking," but'he has failed: to advance; ;; ; The -op portunities for laugh Tgettingi which*, he Is afforded and fails : to 1 grasp; in ,*'The Mocking -Bird" are so plentiful:" as to make: his neglect, or ,\ pitiful. \u25a0 Among the new people "who ; safely passed muster - with* a.? representative first .night, audience were; Zoe Barnett, soubrette; Richie Ling,"; tenor; .Edna Maisonave, ; soprano;/ Lucille - Saunders, contralto, -and Elliott Beamer,: baryf tone. '\u25a0"-; . \u25a0 ;'\u25a0': \u25a0- / ; Miss, Barnett; is a physically; fragile young person, with "countenance * strik-f ingly remindful- of \ Linda Bertozzi | of the Lambardis, and she sings ..catchingly. with a' well drilled mezzo soprano,>acts with verve and dances acceptably. r ; < : ; M. Ling's good looks; compensate to some extent for ' an :/ ordinary vocal j equipment. He Is | dramatically strong; however, and the matinee : goers : who neither teach nor practice .singing will surely : elevate him to pdpularity. / Miss Malsonave. is the beauty of the cast. Her voice, " while not ' large, jis of pretty color. | .'- . Miss Saunders, a tall and rather stout lady, shows experience \u25a0, in operatic acting /and her singing voice displays * three 'distinct qualities, of which the deep contralto is '. the most pleasing, because it .Is the most! natural. She has a personality, how ever, that wins. . Mr. Beamer's barytone Is light and well "schooled, . and ; the /remainder, of the i principals ; do not ' matter.; A decidedly meritorious : feature of the organization is the chorus, which is large numerically, strong;', vocally /and excellently trained. There is no'divi sion of "show ."„ girls" and' "broilers," nor Is there a "pony ballet." : What you see and hear Is about. 2o young, womenj fairly blessed with -pulchritude, every one of whom has a voice and has been taught how to use it. The orchestra, too, is well balanced and ably 'directed,' and as upon chorus and orchestra? is: more than half dependent the* success- j ful interpretation of ; any light Vopera : or musical comedy, the new venture at the- Princess starts under unusually favorable auspices. -. "The Mocking Bird", is classified as ] comlc\ opera, ! but It' hardly .\u25a0is J that. Maybe r thd appellation* was bestowed because of the anachronism; which is its * leading theme. The';; story-^— for it has a story which can be; clearly fol lowed through the \u25a0 musical interrup tions—treats of doing in New; Orleans during 'the French occupation, more than 100 years ago," and one of its main incidents leans upon the singing of the well known negro melody, "Listen ; to the Mocking Bird," which •; was / not composed until half a century later. r -It; would be trespass "upon valuable space ~to narrate > the^ plot, "which \u25a0' is banal. .And if the score used last ing is the original score it: is not weld ed to the libretto; with sufficient adhe sion to make an organic artistic whole." But most of the music, i whether it- was written for thebook or is interpolated, is both melodious vandt tuneful,; consist ing of rattling march tunes, sea songs,' insinuating ,wal tz.es and | sentimental lyrics in which dreams of love -and love confessions are the conspicuous themes. It is : much j better music . than \ the taw dry claptrap that come to us^ in musical comedies' heralded as Broadway hits.. . By the by, it is said ; that ''The Mock ing Bird" was constructed for the/ex clusive' exploitation of Mabel Gllman; | now the v wife? of ; a Pittsb.urg ;; million- I cire.;: But whether; her 5; work in ;the production provoked the stael "maker to love her or .whether she' married him | to': get away from 1t: my Informant j neglected to • state. . . : ' { BIS LAS CO PLAY AT ALCAZAR There.are two bits of acting, in ."The Hearts of Maryland.", as played •at I the New Alcazar, •; that, : if ! every thing 'else were left out of ; consideration,'; would make v the performance ; well worth while./ Ernest J Qiendenning % as "',' Lloyd Calvert dies in j an; artistically: realistic manner and sends^aithrlll^of \ horror through the audience by his last wheez ing gasp , and , his ; totter. ; to death, • and Will R.
