CHICAGO, June 2.—Prayer from the| Presbyterian Assembly and from preach- ers of every religious denomination was requested for the success of the eight-| hour workday by the Chicago Federation | of Labor at a meeting here to-day. The | federation formulated a telegram to the | £ynod, now in session at Pittsburg, and was ordered to send the ight. s dispatch the synod was re- minded that no scoring of labor unions | for meetings on Sundays would be neces- | sary if the hours of labor were shortened | to the union standard of eight a day, | and that the Chicago labor assembly in- | vited the synod and religious workers | | | | 2 throughout the country to inaugurate a vigorous campaign of prayer for the suc- | of the eight-hour movement. | From the declarations of President | Bowman and other speakers favoring the sending of the message it was apparent that it was intended as a bit of satire amounting to a rebuke to the synod for the criticisms recently uttered against | tnion labor on.the floor of the religious sssemb STRIKERS WILL REPORT | BACK FOR WORK TO-DAY | — | Southern Railway Company Will Pay | Off Men Who Do Not Return ‘} Immediately.

HERNE FROM THE BUSY STAGE OF LIFE Playwright and Actor Whose Creation of “Shore Acres” and “Sag Harbor” Endeared Him to 3 <+ Theater-Goers Succumbs to Acute Bronchitig 5 | THE LATE JAMES A. HERNE, WHOSE DEATH REMOVES A STRIK- ING FIGURE FROM THE STAGE. THE ILLUSTRATION IS FROM A PHOTOGRAPH BY THE ELITE GALLERY. EW YORK, June 2—James A. Herne, the well known actor and playwright, died at his home in this city this afternoon of acute bronchitis and pneumonia, after an illness of eight weeks. Mr. Herne was taken ill in Chicago while playing in ‘Sag Harbor,” a play of his own composition. He came at once to his home, took to h bed and never arose. It had been sup- posed for some days that he was impro ing, but Saturday night there was a change for the worse, which resulted fatally. At his bedside when he passcd iaway were Mrs. Herne, his three | daughters and his 5-vear-old son. The body will be cremated. It has not yet been decided when the funeral will be held. James A. Herne, actor and playwright, was born at West Troy, New York, ¥eb- ruary 1, 1839. As a boy he attended the public schools of Albany, New York. He early displayed histrionic talent, and when 20 years old made ais first profes- sional appearance at the Adelphi Theater in Troy. This engagement was made at a salary of $6 per week. He afterward went to Baltimore, where he b2came the leading man of the Holliday-street Thea- ter, and then to Ford's Theater, Washing- | ton, beth at that time under the managc- | ment of John T. Ford. Mr. Herne delivered the opening address yat the inaugural performance at Ford's Theater, a playhouse afterward made his- | toric by the assassination of President Lincoln on April 14, 1865. From Washington Mr. Herne went to | the Walnut-street Theater, Phlhdelk‘ | and thence to the Theater Royal, 4 {treal. In Canada he engaged as leading | support to Helen Western, and traveied with her for two seasons, subsequently | marrying her. At the end of the engage- | ment he came to California, and opened nas a star at Platt’s Hall and at Maguire's Opera-house in this city in 1864 He next joined Lucille Western, a sister of IHelen ‘Western, and starred jointly with her for several years. Returning to this city Mr. Herne ac- | cepted the management of the Baldwin Theater, and it was while playing there that he met and was married to Katlier- ine Corcoran. Mr. Herne always credited his greatest successes as an actor and all | his reputation as a playwright to the in- | telligent criticism and unfailing friend- 3 shiD of his wife. They were in their mar- | ried life singularly helpful and consonant, Herne being an ardent adyocate of the emancipation of woman, giving her an equality with man before the law and be- fore society, as a means for vurifying politics and elevating mankind. Thres daughters were born to them, Julia Chrystal and Dorothy. Mr. Herne’s marked wuccesses as an actor were in character parts. ranging from Bill Sykes in “Oliver Twist” to Nathaniel Berry in “Shore Acres.” His first plays, ‘“Hearts of Oak” and “The Lighthouse on the CIiff” were produced in this city in 1878; his “Minute Men"” at Philadelphia in 1885 and “Drifting Apart” at the People’s Theater in New York City. “Shore Acres,” the next of his plays, was not produced until after “Mar- garet Fleming,” which was written ex- pressly for his wife, as were also th “Minute Me and “Drifting Apart.” ““Shore Acres” was produced in Chicago in 1882, two years after the successful production of ‘‘Margaret Fleming” at Lynn, Mass. Mr. Herne toured the - country with “‘Shore Acres” for a few seasons and then produced two plays which did not meet public favor. He ‘quickly withdrew thcm and wrote “‘Sag Harbor,” and it achieved as great a triumpoh as did “Shore Acres. The play was recently seen at the Colum. bia Theater by a road company. Mr. Herne was a realist, both on and oft the stage. As an actor, he iived rather than acted his characters, and !n writing he made his characters picture life as he viewed it. He was simple in his habits and domestic in his traits. In nolitics he was independent and in_religion an evo- lutionist. He was a disciple of Henry George in his land philosophy, and be- lieved that free land means absolute lib- erty, not of one sex or of one class, but ofI the race.' He 1 161 n many of the large cities of the East and middle West Mr. Herne was 1ot only popular as an actor but also as a lecturer. Thousands have listened to his views on the question of “single tax,” and_the an- nouncement that Mr. Herne would deliver an address on the subject was sufilclent guarantee of a crowded house. Mr. Herne was stricken with some months ago and he was abliged to relinquish his role in “‘Sag Harbor” to an understudy. Recent advices from New York stated that the author-actor wa improving and that his return to ‘the stage could be looked for. The news of his death was heard with deep regret last night in theatrical circles here. WOULD PROMOT seitigment ” the strike on therapid fransit | HUMAN HEAI-TH | PEACE TO IRISHMEN | Rev.

CALIFORNIA CHUTNEY SAUCE Supplies a long [elf want for GAME, STEAKS CHoOPS CiG 15¢ & 25¢ au GRocras | NEW YORK, June 2—Within -a com- | paratively few days the work on behalf of science and humanity which the new- ly incorporated .Rockefeller Institute of | Medical Research is to carry on will be | started in the pathological laboratories | of half a dozen universities. Indications are that the $200,000 which Mr. Rockefeller | has given as the capital of the new institute is a trifiing sum compared to what he contemplates giving ultimately to the cause. The work will be done at Columbia University, Harvard University, the DUniversity -of Chicago, the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania, John Hopkins University, McGill Uni- versity of Montreal and the headquarters of the New York Health Department. The directors of the new Rockefeller in- stitute will have supervision over it, but it will be performed by physicians whom they will employ and who will work more or less independently in the differ- ent places mentioned. The heads of the various laboratories will have general charge of the investiga- tion, whether they happen to be direct- ors of the institute or not. Periodically the directors, whose judgment will be the sole regulator of the expenditure of the $200,000, will meet to discuss the re- sult of the work and will jointly give out the information which it may have de- ve{oped through the initiatorial chan- nels. The work may go on for a year or two before definite plans are made for a per- manent institution. The investigaton of the country’s milk supply will be the first important prob- lem of which the airectors will take hold. Their work is to be chiefly bac- teriological. Our Trade With Scandinavia.

Out Hope of Her Ultimate Recovery. s WASHINGTON, June 2.—Mrs. McKin- ley continues very -weak. Her condition is not greatly changed from that of yes terday, but each day that elapses without |a gain in strength lessens her power of | recuperation. : The complaint which came near ending her life in Sgn Francisco is still present. It-is-in-a-dlightly-less- ag- gravated form, but gives the physicians and the President much concern. Mrs. McKinley has shéwn témarkable vitality, {but her iliness has 'so reducod her strength as to leave ‘her very feeble; in- deed. It is feared that unless a change for the better soon manifests ‘tself her strength may become 5o near exhausted as to leave her without rallying. power.

After a consultation between the docters the following bulletin was issued: “Mrs. McKinley passed a comfortable night, but her condition has not -naterial- There. were no further consultations of the physicians during the day, but Dr. Rixey called during the evening and spent some time with the patient.

President McKinley spent most of the day at the bedside of his wife, though late in the afternoon he went out for an hour's drive. He departed slone, | but met Judge Watson of Ohio, an old | friend, on the way, and the latter accem- | panied him to the White House. There | were many callers at the White House i during the day and evening, making | anxious inquiries regarding Mrs. McKiu- | ley. With few exceptions they simpiy left | their cards after being assured by the | doorkeepers that there was no change in | Mrs. McKinley's condition. Drs. Rixey and Sternberg were both in attendance at the White House during the evening, although the latter did not | remain very long. Dr. Rixey was at the | mansion for more than two hours, and when he left for the night, shortly be- fore 11 o’clock, he announced that at that time Mrs. McKinley was resting com- fortably, as she had done all the after- | noon. | Senator Elkins called on the President during the evening, and was with him for about fifteen minutes. | WILL REORGANIZE ARMOUR | INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY | President Gunsaulus, Who Resigned a Year Ago, Is to Resume Con- | trol of the School. | CHICAGO, June 2.—Enlargemert and complete reorganization of the Armour Institute of Technology will be effected within the next year.

More than sev- enty people were unable to escape the | | rapid progress of the flames and were | burned to death. The fire started on a coffee plantation, and’ owing to the dryness of the vegeta- i tion it was soon beyond control and | wrought great destruction to growing | crops. Many thousands of acres of cof- | fee trees, bananas, orange trees and other tropical products were destroyed. Those who met death in the dam=s were all familles of plantation laborers. who, being unable to escape the fire, perishied in their huts. The fire burned for ten days and was finally quenched by a heavy tropical rain. | AMERICAN MACHINERY | GROWS IN POPULARITY United States Consuls in French Cit- ies Tell of Increasing Trade Relations. WASHINGTON, June 2.—In a further series of extracts from the forthcoming volume two of commercial relations, deal- ing with United States trade in France, Consul Brittain of Nantes notes the de- velopment of the trade in American ma- chinery in Western France. During tne past season, he says, about 30 reape‘s, | mowers and horse hay rakes arrived at that port. American mowers give good | satisfaction and the increased prices asked for farm labotr will stimulate the | sale of such machinery in the future. The | American mower was a commeon sight in last’ summer. Congul | Covert of.Lyons says: 4 The houses of this district, which. some yvears ago furnished fine French' hardware to the | United: States, have almost entirely. lost that trade Within the last two decades and they are enabled to hold their own here only on a | protective tariff. Afnerican stoves, base burn- ers_and smaller heating stoves find a steady | market here, the French make being unable | to_replace them. American saws and other wood cutting in- struments are pronounced the best in the World. because Americans are the reatest | wood ' uding people. Agricultural implements of American patterns and bearing an Ameri- can name are met in every county falr and | are highly prized. They are often made in France, on account of the high tariff duty. Farmers tell me that they prefer to buy the Ohic or Illinois “harvesting and haying machines, notwithstanding the increased cost. Consul Tourges of Bordeaux say: The fastest time made by any rallway, it 1s sald, is on the road between this city and Bayonnie, where a run of 128 miles is made every day in 128 ‘minutes. It is quite to the credit of the American mechanics that the honor of making this run s accorded to Amer- ican locomotives.

L e e e e s e e ] ) LIVELY PRANKS OF GOLLEGIANG New Student Is Forced To Play Role of Burglar. DENVER, Col., June 2.—The University Chapter of Beta Thcta Pi last night ini- tiated into the fraternal mysteries Julian H. Moore, a son of Bishop Moore of the Methodist church, znd having dragged him over the cactl to the Gamma Phi chapter house, told him to remove his shoes, steal into the dining-room and take what silverware he could find. It had been prearranged with Mrs. Slocum, the preceptress, that she should appear on tha scene when the would-be robber was mak- ing his escape, call the janitor and have the culprit locked up. The girls decided to take the intruder fato their charge and young Moore found himself surrounded by a dozen fair captors, who, after bind- ing and blindfolding him, locked him in the pantry. The Betas waited outside for an hour and then John Stephenson and Vincent Danlels climbed over the porch. Mounting the roof, they let themselves down through a skylight and. to the great surprise of the girls, admitted their com- panions. The Betas found their victim eating ple in the paniry and his pockets full of salt-cellars and spoons. SENATOR McLAURIN IS ANXIOUS TO RESIGN Will Then Go on the Hustings for the Purpose of Regaining His Seat. CHARLOTTE, N. C., Jun¢ 2.—A special to the Observer from Bennetsville, S. C., the home of Senator McLaurin. says there are good reasons for believing that just prior to the meeting of Congress in December, Senator McLaurin will resign and request Governor McSweeney to ap- point his successor. Should the Senator do this, it is understood he would expect the Governor to appoint a man repre- senting the same political views as Bry- an and Tillman. The Senator would then meet this genileman in 1902 on the hust- ings for the purpose of regaining his seat in the Senate. The Senator maintains he has as much right fo define Democratic principles as Mr. Bryan, Mr. Tillman or anyone else. Mr. MeLaurin claims that Mr. Bryan and Mr. Tiliman both opposed true Democracy jand advocated popu- lism, socialism and communism. The earnestness with which the fight is to be carried on may be judged from the an- nouncement that a ‘daily morning paper will. be established at Columbia with a South Carolinian, now residing in Rich- mond, Va., as editor.

[T e Cabinet Member Admiits Extra Session Is NoW Probable. Depends Upon Opinion to Be Rendered by Attorney General. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET N. W., WASHINGTON, June 2—Officials of the administration to-day for the first tims since the announcement of the decisions of the Supreme Court in the insular cases began to admit that there is a growing possibility of an extra session of Congress in July. If Attorney General Knox, after a care- ful review of the declisions, concludes that the President will not have power under the Spooner amendement to the army ap- propriation bill to impose duties on goods oing into the Philippines from the United tates or coming into the United States from the Philippines, the President will seriously consider the advisability of issu- ing an immedate call for an extra session of Congress. ‘This statement is made on the authority of a member of the Cabinet who is devot- ing much time to a study of the situation raised by the decisions. Attorney General Knox and Secretary of War Root spent several hours to-day discussing the legal points involved. Mr. Knox is working hard on his opinion in order to have it ready for the Cabinet meeting on Tues- day. This meeting is expected to be of great importance. The question whil will then be presented, and the one whi the Attorney General is now considerir is whether the President will have t wer not only to promulgate a tariff fc the Philippines, but to direct that either the Dingley rates or some other rates of duty shall be collected on goods coming from the Philippines into the United States. The only uuthority which the President would nave for such action would be the Spooncr amendment to the army appropriation bill. ROBBERS SET FIRE TO A TOWN AND DESTROY IT First Rob the Postoffice and Treasury and Make Good Their Escape. BEAUMONT, Tex., June 2—The town of Jasper, capital of Jasper County, was entirely wiped out by fire to-day. Seven- teen houses, including every business house in the place and a number of resi- dences, were destroyed. The town has no fire department. Previous to the fire the postoffice safe and the safe of the County Treasurer were blown open and robbed. The con- clusion is that the burglars blew open these safes and then set fire to the town to create excitement and afford them an opportunity to_escape. The loss by fire is estimated at $100,000. The robbers escaped. It is not known how big a haul they made. . | Lightning Destroys Crops.
