THEATRICAL.
Tho highly realistic and successful
melodrama, "The Span of Life," will be
seen at the Grand opera house on Tues
day evening. The story of the play Is
familiar to theatregoers. While all the
scenery of the original production was
duplicated, the popular piece will be
seen this year with all its mechanical
effects new. The company is a strong
oue and contains many well known
artists The famous Donazettas will
form the wonderful human bridge.
The scene represouts a rocky gorge in
the heart of Africa. The heroine, who
is pursued by a band of Arabs, reaches
the gorge, finding the bridge gone.
Throe of her friends appear on the op
posite side of the chasm, and fling their
interlocked bodies across the rayine,
thus forming a living bridge over which
the heroiue passes to safety.
t t t
"My Friend From India," which will
be presented here on Monday evening
next by the Frankie Stock Company, is
a very pleasing entertainment. Addi
tional charm and pleasure is afforded
because the play will be presented by
an excellent company. The many odd
and mirth-provoking situations in tho
play arise primarily from a newly-rich
Kansas City pork packer's family's en
deavors to enter society through decep
tion. Specialties will bo given between
acts, also some of the latest moving
pictures.

MINERS WAITING.
Committee of Civic Federation May Avert
the Threatened Strike.
President Mitchell, accompanied by
District Presidents Nichols, Duffy and
Fahy, left Sbamokin for New York yes
terday afternoon to attend a conference
with the conciliation committee of the
industrial department of the Civic Fed
eration, called for this morning at 10
o'clock. Before leaving Mr. Mitchell j
said that no plan of procedure had been
mapped out for the calling of either the
partial or an entire suspension of work.
Mr. Mitchell said he had no means of
telling how the mission to New York in
the interests of peace might turn out,
nor how long the committee will be
absent.
While Mr. Mitchell is a member of the
counciliation committee it is doubtful if.
under the peculiar circumstances of the
case, he will exercise his privilege of
passing upon the miners' troubles in
that capacity. The two representatives
of organized labor who are his colleagues
are Frank P. Sergeant, grand master of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
and James Duncan, national secretary
of the Granite Cutters' Union. The
other members of tho committee are
Franklin McVeagh, of Chicago; J. K.
Ruttshnitt, vice president Southern
Pacific Railway; William 11. Pfahler,
former president National Founders'
Association; Marcus H. Marks, president
National Clothing Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, and Archbishop Ireland and
Bishop Potter.
Upon the result of the conference in
New York today depends whether or
not the committee of fourteen miners
authorized by the convention will be
appointed. The committee will consist
of seven men from District 1, five from
District 9 and two from District 7.
If the operators agree to meet the
miners'representatives before the Civic
Federation committee the fourteen
names will be announced, and while
negotiations are pending the collieries
will work every alternate day of each
week.
Should the operators refuse to meet,
President Mitchell, through the district
presidents, will order a suspension of
mining, to begin next Tuesday.
In either case there will be no work
on Tuesday, as it is April 1, which is
hereafter to be known among tho miners
as Eight-[lour Day and will be observed
as a holiday in the anthracite and
bituminous regions.
The Lattimer Memorial.
Louis N. Harninorling, of Wilkesbarre,
who has charge of the arrangements for
the erection of a memorial to the victims
of the Lattimer shooting, has ar
ranged to open subscriptions for the
fund at the newspaper officos of the
region. All moneys received will be
duly credited and promptly forwarded to
the treasurer.
The committee to exercise supervision
over all matters pertaining to raising the
money and erecting the memorial Is
composed of twelve men, six represent
ing the United Mine Workers and six
from the various societies of which the
victims wore members. John Mitchell
is president of the committee, and Dis
trict President T. D. Nichols Is secre
tary. The committee hopes to have a
sufficient amount subscribed in a short
time.
