| | | ‘WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME' | WILL BE PLAYED HERE Will Be Presented by Carpenter's Company, Which Is Said to Be Strong One. The offering at the City Opera House, Thursday night, April 15th, will be “Why Girls Leave Home,” which is said to be a strong play with many stirring incidents, but which does not depend on gun-play or the customary blood and thunder. The story is said to be a new one and deals principally with four per- sons; mother, brother and two sisters, one of whom is susceptible to flat- tery, and haying attained that age where she considers herself capable of choosing her own company and amusements, submits to the entreat- ies of a not too reputable young man j and accompanies him to public places, much against the wishes of her family. ‘The brother, following the wishes of the dead father, is the head of the household, and naturally over solicit- ous for the wellfare of its every member, and he particularly resents his sister’s imprudent actions; so CYOULOVE CANDY BETTER) much so that in a display of temper by her when she takes exception to his brotherly advice and entreaties he impulsively deals her a blow that places the almost lifeless body at his feet. During his subsequent aberrration there appears a woman who is seek- ing the downfall of both, the one in jealousy, and the other in revenge; she administers an opiate to prolong the sister’s insensibility; then with the assistance of an unprincipled scoundrel, she takes her to a room in a roadhouse in the country and keeps her a prisoner. She finally escapes from her cap tors after one of the most novel and exciting, yet consistent, scenes ever presented on the stage;and aftera perilous trip across the country, arrives at the prison just in time to avert a tragedy that is about to take place. The story is a wholesome and in- teresting one, and is treated with great reverence and delicacy by the author, Fred Summerfield. Mr. E. J. Carpenter has beautifully mounted the play scenically, the cafe scene great regard for their -audience by giving the play one of the best act- ing companies to be seen at popular prices.

New York, April 13.—After a meet- ing of coal operators in this city it was announced that no action had been taken looking towards a reduc- tion in the wages of the miners.

This committee will re- port at another meeting on April 22.” STRIKERS IN AN UGLY MO0 Twenty-five Hundred Troops on Duty to Prevent Disorder. Meru, France, April 13.—The strik- ing button makers of Meru, whose de- mands for a continuance of the pre- vious wage schedule in the button factories have been followed by vio- lence and disorder, have brought about a veritable reign of terror here and in the neighboring towns of Cre- pin and Lormaison. About 2,000 sol- diers under'the command of General Nicolas, consisting of dragoons, hus- sars and cuirassiers, and 500 * gen- darmes under the leadership of the prefect of Oise, are patrolling the streets of all the towns and the sur- rounding country where further vio- lence is to be expected.

There is one error in the published reported settlement, how- ever. Neither the Lehigh Valley Transportation company nor the Rute land Transit company are members of the Lake Carriers’ association.” Crazy Snake Reported Dead.
