Majestic Theater Makes Hit. " The New Maiestic Theater, which was opened to the public Thursday night, has' made a distinct hit and the crowds which have comfortably filled the theater indicate that the public likes the style of entertain- ment furnished by Mr. Currie and will demonstrate-that fact by attend- ing in generous numbers. M. Currie has the very best mov- ing-picture machine that Edison has ever devised, and with his personal knowledge of every intricate move- ment of the machine, the results are indeed splendid. The illustrated song at the Majestic is rendered by Mr. Currey, who'possesses a fine baritone voice of great depth and power and he puts feeling into his singing which makes his work above the average. His rendition of “Dear old Yankee Land” called forth a double encore. Tonight there will be an entire change of pictures, and Mr. Currey has a new song. An Error Corrected. In the write-up of the fire com- being arranged for the children ‘in| pany’s series of entertainments we istated that the initial performance would be given on Tuesday, Decem- ber 16, and also that the price of a family ticket would be $4. Both of these statements are errongous. The initial performance will be | given on Thursday night, December 16, and the price of a season family ticket is $5. Don't forget the date of the first performance and buy either a single or family ticket. Mizpah Electric Plant Burned.

President of Striking Switchmen Confers With Samuel Gompers, Head of Federation of Labor. St. Paul, Dec. 11.—Despite denials by railroad officials that a coal fam ine is likely as a result of the switch- men's strike St. Paul schools are on the verge of closing for want of fuel. T'he railroads claim they are shipping hundreds of cars, but St. Paul dealers say these cars are standing in the yards and are not being switched Lo the tracks of the different coal com- panies. In reply to the complaint ot a coal shortage the Railroad Man- agers’ association says the statemcnt that a coal famine is imminent in the Northwest is without foundation; that the people were well stocked up last summer and that coal, as needed, is moved without interruption; that, moreover, the railroads have a heavy surplus of coal and in any emergency — ] Buying Diamonds from man’s profit. 116 Third St. We are offering DIAMONDS at prices that will not be equalled again.

McEwen continues taking state- ments of strikebreakers brought to St. Paul and stranded. About sixty of these men were examined and em- ployes in the : labor commissioner’s office contributed a small purse to buy food and provide shelter for some of them in the'Salvation Army barracks. The Burlington railroad sent fifty stranded men back to Chicago and Commissioner McEwen said he under- stood the railroads would furnish transportation home for all men who were stranded. He has decided not to take any offi- cial action on the alleged peonage or kidnapping cases, where men were locked in cars and forcibly detained, inagmuch as the offense was commit- ted by nonresident employment agen- cies and not by the railrodds.
