Recent statements that President Debs of the A. R. U. was organizing telegraph op- erators have given rise to much gossip and reports of trouble to occur between the tele- graph corpantes and their employes. It is understood that the Western Union Telegraph Company is quietly engaging a large force of operators throughout the country in anticipation of possibie trouble with their present force. Within the past few days overtures have been received by many operators in this city who have been en the extra list for a long while, during which they have made but little time. They have been, as a Star reporter was informed, tendered positions on the regular force at $80 per month for six days’ work per week. So far all the men secured have been en- gazed with the understarding that they will be sent, if needed, to New York, but the proviso is made, it is sald, that they may be assigned to duty in other cities, if their employers so decree. It is understood that the reason for this sudden move on the part of the Western Union authorities was the discovery that the force of operators in the Pittsburg, Pa., offices have become identified with the American Railway Union through the ef- forts of the organizers sent there by Presi- dent Debs of that organization. It is al- leged that one of the members of the Pitts- burg branch of the A. R. U. becante fright- ered at the magnitude of the movemen: which, it is said, President Debs and his assistants are preparing to inaugurate, and informed the superintendent of the Pitts- burg division of the Western Union Com- any of what he had learred. The superintendent was also furnished by the men with a list of the members of tne Pittsburg branch of the A. R. U., and i fieial called some of thé ‘men before eing that the steps thus far taken by them were known to the telegraph olfi- cial, the men admitted that they had be- come identified with the A. R. U. Vice President and General Manager C. A. Tinker, whose headquarters are in New York, was informed by the Pittsburg otli- eial of his discovery, and Mr. Tinker sum. General Western Manager R. ( y of Chicago to meet him at Pi for consultation in reference to the situation. The conference took place ear his week in the latter elty, the superiz trict also being us to going to Pittsburg both Vice President Tinker and General Western y made an investigation of tent which the movement among the hers had assumed in the cities of ork and Chicago, and it is said they Were amazed to learn that not only were most of the Western Union telegraphers im the cities named in active sympathy with the Debs organization, but that the organizers of the A.

AMUSEMENTS.” Boston Symphouy Orchestra—The fifth ard last concert announced by the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Metzerott Hall next Tuesday evening will be made up en- tirely of Wagner selections. The soloist will be Mr. Ben Davies, the famous Eng- lish tenor, whose selections will be the ever beautiful ‘‘Prize Song” from “Die Meistersinger” and the “Spring Song” from “Die Walkure.” The concert next Tuesday evening will be a brilliant ending to one of the best series ever given in this city by this now famous organization. A most use- ful and interesting list of the works that have been performed during the season will be found in the analytical programs which have become so important a feature of these concerts. The Ice Palace—Miss Mabel Davidson made her first evening appearance at the Convention Hall {ce rink last night, and probably never skated better in her life, and gave a good many evolutions and fig- ures, which were not se2n here during her last engagement. She ‘vore a becoming Russian costume of pink with a fetching hat of the same color, and made an e: tremely pretty and bewitching appearance. Her dancing on the poin:s of her skates and the long rolls which she did seemed to please the audience the most, but all of her movements were done with the greatest amount of grace and-ease, stamping her at orce as the real queen of the ice. Just as she was about to skate off she was taken in tow by Mr. Leonard, the head instructor of the rink, and though she did not know what was going to happen and tried to get away, she was taken out to the middle of the rink and there presenied with an im- mense floral skate, the gift of the employes of the rink. Miss Davidson is a prime fa- vorite with all of the employes at the ice palace, und this was a testimonial of their regard. The shate slood ou a bank of laurel leaves and la France roses, and was fully five feet long. The blade of the skate was of mirrur glass, while the heel cap, shoe, clamps, strap and buckles ware of red and white carnations. The skate was taken’ to the general recention room, and was the center of admiration until a late hour. Miss, Davidson made a pretty little bow on re- ceiving the tribute, and then she and Mr. Leonard drew it around the rink tor the benefit of the spectators, Miss Davidson will be seen at the ice rink every even-ng this week at 9 o'clock and Saturday after- neon at 3 o'clock. Miss Richards’ Paris Lecture.—Miss Janet Elizabeth Richards will repeat her lecture on “Paris—Modern and Historic,” which was given a short time ago to a crowded house, at the Church of Our Father next Saturday evening, and tickets are now sale at Metzerott’s. Miss Richards’ lecture is most entertaining and instructive and should be heard by all who contemplate a trip to the gay French capital during the coming season. The lecture is illustrated and a number of new views have been udd- ed since the last presentation. ‘The lecture Is both narrative and descriptive and forms one of the most enjoyable talks of the sea- son. = Little Ruby’s Reception.— pretty child dancer of the pany, will hold a reception for ladies and children on the stage after the matinee turday next.

The young man insisted, however, that he must put on new tips, which would cost her nothing, and started from the store to the house, when Mrs. Selinger grabbed him and made an outcry. © A policeman responded to the call and made an effort to apprehend the bogus in- Spector, but he had managed to get out of the store and had disappeared from the neighborhood. Inspector Hollinberger has received word from New York of the:arrest in that city of the kcgus gas inspector, whe operated here several weeks ago, and who su ceeded in getting comsiderable plund, This included money, jewelry and other articles. When the man had made the several good hauls in three days he disappeared as mysteriously as he had appeared. None of the stolen goods appeared on the pawn lists nor was any of it recovered from where {t had been sold, and nothing more Was heard of him until he was arrested in the metropolis. Then his photograph was sent here and fully identified, but as the New York au- thorities have several cases against him he will probably not be brought here for trial, but will be tried there. He is an Englishman less than thirty years of age. His real name is Archibald Hanker, but in New York he gave his. name as John A. Page. Hanker, alias Page, lived here about four years ago. When he appeared at the Brit- ish legation at that time and related a tale of woe he was given employment as a footman. This position he filled with satis- faction to his employer, and while there he took nothing, so far’ as is known. He Was given so good a recommendation that he found no trouble in getting a position at the house of Prof. Hinckley, No. 1310 Mas- sachusetts avenue. About the time he left there a watch disappeared, but not until the arrest of the man in New York did suspicion of this theft rest on him, jon afterward he worked for M Lean on Vermont av. his employment here ated as a bogus gas Inspector.
