Green or white? that's t'ie question. H looks like it might be white and it looks like it might be green. Just now it is greener than it is white, but the clouds may do it yet. Yesterday, it was mo.il ly slush w'th not s;" much ice. Snow fell at times thjs morning and ii is up to the weather man to givu a white or a green Christmas. Even people who do not like snow, desire it on Christmas day but that does not have anything to do with tin weather, which t?Uts its own sweet way about everything. The old adage that a green Christmas means a filled graveyard is believed as much as it ever was and the Santa Claus story lo-;es a part of its attractiveness and benrs an air of incredulity when the ground is bare at-d green, for whoever head of Santa Claus failing to make his annual visit in anything but a slefgh, and snow or mini, he gets here just the same. Richmond people are hoping for Know today. A week ago, it looked like "green;" then there was snow, mud, more snow, slush, rain, ice and whatnot.

CHRISTMAS

WELCOMED

PAY NOW BARRED INDUSTRIAL WORK '

Hereafter Instructors Cannot Draw Portion of Wages Until Month Has Ended. THE REASONS ARE GIVEN IT IS SAID THE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES WISH TO KEEP THE EXPENSE ACCOUNT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. Tevchers of the Wayne township schools can not draw their money in advance any longer. They must be satisfied with receiving all their pay once a mouth. The reason for this is that every time an advancement is made to a teacher an item of this expense must be included -a the annual report of the township trustee, which is published by the newspapers at the rate of 5 cents per item. And, be it known, this report must be published in two local papers, making the total cost of printing each expense item 10 cents.

Hopkins, the next witness, gave equally sensational testimony, recounting a conversation he had with Youtsey in the agricultural building, two days before Goebel was shot, in which Youtsey said: "I have sent to Cincinnati for some , cartridges that will fix him," meaning Goebel, "and I will give $100 to any man who will Ore the shot.

Washington. December 23. Speaker Cannon is again taken to task by President Gompers. of -the American Federation of Iabor in tlte January number of the Federationist just issued. Referring to Cannon's recent attack on him. Gompers says: "It Is the policy of the trickster politician to pretend that the chosen spokesman of labor has his own personal interests to advance, his own views to exploit, his own power to extend or intrench. "It is impossible for the politician o the Cannon stripe to conceive that there are some, yes, a large and constantly growing number of men who, true to a principle, true to a cause, true

to their fellows, would scorn to stoop to a dishonest or dishonorable act. r any act but which would redound to the interest and progress of the workers. But how can we expect such a conception of man's conduct from the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, whose arrogance and whose antagonism to labor and the best interests of the people s universal knowledge? "These facts are recorded, 'Uncle Joe,' lest we forget." SAYS SPEAKER CANNON Also Promises Banks Early Currency Legislation. Chicago, Dec. 25. Speaker Cannon, in conference today with the Chicago Clearing House association and representative bankers, told them that congress was ready to pass a currency bill that would be sound and timely, and it ould probably be taken up immediately after the holiday recess. The speaker said also that so far as he was able to observe the money situation was improving every day. He asked tho Clearing: House committee about i he situation in the West, and heard many suggstions regarding forthcoming currency legislation.

THEATRICAL CALENDAR. NEW PHILLIPS. Week of Dec. 23 Vaudeville. GENNETT. Week of Dec. 23 Van Dyke-Eaton Co. Dec. 30. Ezra Kendall. Jan. 6 "The Time, the Place and the Girl." Jan. 9 "Our New Minister." Jan. 11 "The Girl of the Golden West." Jan. 16 "The Girl Question."

"The Girl of the Golden West." At the Gennett, January 11. will appear a play from the pen of the leading American dramatist, David Belasco. called "The Girl of the Golden West." The scenes are laid in a California mining town in '49, and the girl is with one exception the , only woman in the cast. Of course a Helasco play Is sure to attract wide attention and public curiosity will hardly be satisfied without a peep into the theatre, so a rehearsal of the story is unnecessary. "The Land of Dollars." Ezra Kendall, who has just concluded a tour of the Pacific Coast, comes to the Gennett on December oU in George Ade's new comedy, "The Land of Dollars." This play has been, many believe, the crowning effort of Mr. Ade's career as a playwright, notable as have been his successes as the author of "The County Chairman." "The College Widow," "The Sultan of Zulu," etc. In "The Land of Dollars" he has given Mr. Kendall a part which gives that humorist the finest opportunity for the exploitation of his funmaking, without, however, sacrificing the plot of the play which heretofore in Mr. Kendall's starring career has 1 invariably been the case. "The Girl Question." "The Girl Question," with a record behind it of over 200 performances at the LaSalle Theatre and still playing there to entire capacity of the house at every performance, will be presented for the first time outside of Chicago today by the company which will play ,011 the road while the LaSalle Theatre company still continues its phenomenal run. It will be seen here at the Gennett on January 11. Repertoire at the Gennett. Today's matinee at the Gennett, when "The Little Christian" will be presented, probably will bring out one of the largest audiences that has ever been in this house and the same is expected! of the night performance, as the holiday season is always taken advantage of, not only by the regular theater goers, but by many who are not in the habit of going regularly. For the remainder of the week the program is as follows: Thursday Matinee, "Across the Desert." Night, "A Human Slave." Friday Matinee, "Sapho"; night, "Little Christian." Saturday Matinee, "Dora Thome." Night, "Men of Jimtown." Vaudeville at the Phillips. Eva Ray's idea in providing a special ! matinee for the ladies on Friday, no men being allowed to attend, Is that they, may ask questions that they might not care to ask in a mixed audience. E. J. Appleby, who gives a banjo stunt this week, is exceedingly clever in this line and fairly makes his banjo talk. One of his good features Is the playing of two banjos at the same time." The Kneedlers have a musical comedy sketch that calls for considerable versatility. Friends of Floyd Wood and Miss Isabell Bass will be out Friday night to see them in a Spanish singing and dancing sketch. If they make good, and it is anticipated they will, they will enter vaudeville. Miss Ray, mind reader and wondedr worker, is conceded to be as good in this line as any yet seen at the New Phillips. NO ARRESTSWERE MADE Not a Single Occupant of City Jail. Notwithstanding the fact, that there were hundreds of merrymakers on the streets last night and many of ttem having drunk deeply of the cup which cheereth. no disorder occurred and this morning there was not a single occupant of the c!ty jaz-house.
