IX2D OVER FIFTY ALMOST HELPLESS

Miss Maty E. Dreier, of New York City, Discusses Their Fate. A SUPREME TRAGEDY Of Our Industrial Life, She Says State Pension , Their Only Hope. ' New York. Nor. 24. "The greatest tragedy of New York's Industrial life Is the tragedy of the surplus women, the women who are able and willing to work, but who have passed the dead line of fifty years." That was the admlf slon of Miss Mary E. Dreier, president of the Women's. Trade Union League of this city, when a dispatch from Boston was shown her telling of the difficulties of the Day state with Its "surplus" women. Over there the Women's Homestead association, a local organisation of large membership, has sent out resolutions urging the utilization of national and state aid to buy homesteads which are now waste land and settle these women on them. And the term "surplus" is applied to "women who are matured, with neither good looks, youth nor capital to aid them, and who can for these reasons find no work to do, no matter how willing they may be to work." "Indeed, we have a large class of such women in New York." averred Miss Dreier In response to a question. . "But I am not sure I am stating the situation correctly. "I think It would be true to say that we have a large number of such helpless women In every class. It Is the supreme tragedy of Industrial life." . i, Better Off In Prison. "It Is almost Impossible for the woman over fifty to obtain a position where either mental or manual labor except the crudest. . roughest varieties of the latter Insure her even a possible living wage; She Is almost as helpless as (f she were In' prison. Indeed -the women confined by the state have a better chance for decent food and healthful work. "Tike work in the mills and factories. The, primary requisite is anead. ' That means deftneaa of touch and quickness of sight Now, It Is only natural that a woman fifty years old, who perhaps has brought up a family of children and almost certainly has filled her best years with arduous household tasks and sewing, should be left with stiffened, knotted fingers and dimmed eyes. t. She cannot possibly concentrate the energies on her work that a young girl can bring to "When the woman was younger she likely learned one Inflnlteslcal trade, how to paste one small strip of leather on a shoe, perhaps. Remember, It takes one hundred workers to fashion a party slipper. The middleaged woman knows how to paste that leather Just as well as she ever did, of coarse, but she can't begin to paste as many strips during the day as she could once. So a younger woman Is hired la her place. . , Haa Mere Chances In Stores. "In the stores I think there Is perhaps a slightly better chance for the woman who Is no longer young. If bo has any marked degree of ability her years of experience are often recognised at something like their raal value. 'But this again applies chiefly to her being allowed to. keep the position she already has. If for any reason she drops out well. It's almost (Sureo houmaiiom New Discovery, Guaranteed in Every ' Case, Produces Results In First ' 'Pew , Days. "D-M-V" Is the name of the new discovery for the positive cure of rheumatism, gout, lumbago and neuralgia. "MM" to different from any other treatment sold for rheumatism.

TWO SICKLY CHILDREN Made Well by Vlnol Letters From Grateful Mothers. New Haven. Conn. "My little girl ever since her birth was frail and Ickley and nothing seemed to do her any good, until we tried your cod llvor and iron tonic. Vlnol. As soon as she commenced to take it. I noticed an Improvement In her health and appearance. She has now taken three bottles of Vlnol and from the good it has done her I can say it will do all you claim for It In building up and strengthening frail and delicate children." (Name furnished on request) Another mother of Chicago, 111., writes: "My little girl was thin, rundown, pale and without any appetite. Vlnol gave her a good appetite. she has,rotiy cheeks and has gained rapidly In flesh and strength. "I cannot say too much In praise of Vlnol for delicate, ailing children." We ask every mother of a frail, sickly or ailing child In this vicinity to try Vinol on our agreement to return their money If It doea not do all we claim. Leo H. FIhe, Druggist. Richmond, Indiana.

literally true that 'she never comes back.' The younger woman, with fresher, more attractive appearance, is invariably preferred. "The most utterly foolish and futile example I know of this system of to-the-young-belong-the-spoila Is the business office positions. As a matter of fact, other things being equal, a middle aged woman must be superior to a young girl as a secretary,- stenographer or bookkeeper, or In any similar position where business responsibilities demand experience with life and people. Yet almost every business man is unwilling to hire a middle aged woman. Of course, if the is sensible he will demand practical ability, too, but he will pass up the wisdom that comes naturally with years in favor of an office ornament. The only solution I see Is a pension by the state." - Farm Idea Visionary. "Do you think It ould be a good thing to send these women back on farms?" Miss. Dreier was asked. "I think the Homestead association forgets," she commented, "that there must be at least one other essentia to cultivate the soil successfully, and that Is a man. Most of these women who would be given farms would lack male members of their family. "Another suggestion from the Hub Is a state matrimonial bureau, and another Is the legalisation of plural marriages," the" Interviewer remarked. "Both must have been meant for satire," demurred Miss Dreier. "For that matter, I doubt if marriage would be any great benefit In a large number of cases." A t Local Theaters ,., , At the Murray. . Adam Is the greatest ape since the late Consul, and together with the balance of the bill, caused the handsome vaudeville house to.be packed on the opening day. Those who have witnessed the work Of the much touted Consul and also saw Adam perform yesterday are not averse to stating the local monk Is far superior. Adam's various tricks are little short of marvelous, and the ease and naturalness with which he works was commented on by all who witnessed his performance. The entire program might be termed classy. Ansel and Doraine are real clever In their original gymnastic and hand balancing act. Ed Warren Is one of those famous German comedians, graceful. The BeBout duo is a refined singing and dancing specialty and brought rounds of applause. The extra special for this week Is Fred DeBolt, soloist The bill Includes a real moving picture show, entitled "The Children's Revolt." There will be a special children's matinee on Saturday afternoon. Blue Mouse Today. The Blue Mouse will be the attraction at the Gennett theater for both nerfonnancM tnAnv Tha faro ! nnn of the flttlest which has been written In the present decade and at the same time It has caused more comment than perhaps any other play. The New York papers were full of It when It was first presented in the theatrical metropolis and the fact -that this Is the first time that it has been offered In Richmond at popular prices will be sure to draw two of the largest holiday crowds ever at the Gen nett The. Russell players were con gratulated on all sides for their excellent performance of The Devil and from all accounts the Blue Mouse Is and even better production. . The Chorus Lady. Miss Rose Stahl returns to the Gennett on Thursday. December 1. In her farewell appearance as Patricia O'Brien In the "Chorus Lady." a comedy by James Forbes,, author of "The Commuters" and "The Traveling Salesman." The personal triumph and International success of Miss Stahl in the famous Forbes play, has placed her among America's foremost stars and amply justified the confidence reposed in her stellar ability by Henry B. Harris. She has played Patricia O'Brien more than two thousand times and most remarkable of all Is the fact that she has never missed a performance during all this time, a record unequalled by any other star In the theatrical profession. Miss Stahl will bring her entire New York and London supporting cost including Isabel Goodwin. Alice Leigh. Winona Willett Lotta Brunelle, Anne Ives, Helen DahL Florence Grant, Lois Arnold. Claire Lane. Giles Shine. Wilfred Lu cas. Robert Stowe Gill. Thomas Magulre, Sid Fortls. Francis Check, EdBirch and C. C. Weaver. Seven Days. "There Is never a dull fraction of a second in the entirely of-"Seven Days." said the New York Jouroel of Commerce In Its review of the comedy that on Us opening night mora than a

year ago actually shook Astor theater with laughter and has kept Broadway In wild hilarity ever since. . In telling of the - play the same newspaper said: It did one's heart good to see Ihe' audience at the Astor last night It laughed at Seven Days and never stopped till it was on the sidewalk. This farce by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood la one of the most amusing plays in years. It la another of those exceptional successes for which the Astor haa become famohs. So great has been the success of this play that It Is now In its second year In New York, having run uninterruptedly through the sum' mer, the first comedy ever to achieve this record. Of all the players who have appeared in it on Broadway Mesars. Wagenhals and Kemper have formed a special cast which will be seen at the Gennett next Wednesday. Every member of this cast was especially chosen ', for the , very .best portrayal of hla or her role in. a play that combines droll persons, screamingly funny situations, the brightest wit' ever 'spoken on' the stage,' and mikes on continuous laugh. The Girl in the Taxi. "The Girl in the Taxi" which comes to the Gennett theater for an engagement of one night Monday is remarkable for its numberless complications. No play produced in recent years can boast of half tit many situations to the act. Mix-up follows mix-up in such rapid fire order that the audience finds it difficult to catch" its breath between laughs. Indeed, were It not for the many delightful musical and dancing specialties interpolated throughout the piece there Is grave fear that physicians might have to be called in to attend numerous cases of hysteria. One of the funniest situations occurs when John - Stewart, a wealthy New York banker, who while pretending to possess all the domestic virtues, likes to have his little midnight lark, meets his supposedly Innocent son Bertie in a private dining room at the Cafe Rlche where father and son, without knowledge of the other had gone to keep engagements. "The . Girl In the Taxi" is recommended as a tonic of laughter guaranteed to chase away the blues and make one the better for having seen and laughed at the antics and embarrassments of this fascinating lady and her Jolly companions. Seats on sale tomorrow. . ,. The" Easiest Way. Seekers after symbolism should nake an attentive study of the lesson suggested by the atmospheric effects of the first act of the "Easiest Way" in which David Belasco presents Frances Starr at the Gennett on Monday, December 5. The scene which is of exquisite beauty and reveals the Belasco touch In all its details Is laid amid the rolling foothills and lofty peaks of the Rockies, and when the play opens the stage is suffused with the mellow tight of a glor: ious afternoon. But gradually as "the story Is unfolded, the twilight deepens, the grey. of evening swallows up the golden tints of the afternoon sun and the curtain goes down amid a somber darkness which is relieved only by the red cigar, ends being smoked by two men who are at odds for the woman around whom the play centers. Here is symbolism, indeed, for the light and shadow in which the act follows its course are types of the alternating joy and misery , of Laura Murdock. In Panama. "In Panama" with Klein Bros., in the principal roles, is the offering at the Gennett next Tuesday. It is said to be one of the best musical comedies on the road this season. The music Is by that most successful writer of musical comedies, Max Hoffman, and is full of catchy 'song hits. The costumes are gorgeous. Great pains has been taken wijth the scenic investiture, as one can easily imagine, the play is in three acts, "all of which are laid In that tropical land of Panama, giving tlie scenic artist great opportunities. The cast is an exceptional one, besides the principals there are such well known musical comedy favorites as Miss Sibyl Brennan. who plays the leading feminine part Miss Sedney Martlneau, Corinne - Pendleton, Dorothy Dunn. William Edmunds, Lloyd Peddrick, Jay Woodford Ray, John Dewey, Harry S. Piper and others just as clever, if not quite so well known: Neither time or money has been spared in securing the chorus, every one being selected for her beauty of face and form, with the result that "rn Panama" has the handsomest chorus on tour, and is one of the most complete musical productions that will play Richmond this season.

English, courts a witness was asked to repeat a conversation that she bad with her husband. Objection "was made that the question should not be answered because the conversation was private In its nature. The Judge then asked the witness whether anybody except herself and husband was present She replied that her mother and the busband's mother were, whereupon the judse remarked: "It apuears that both mothers-in-law were present. I shall therefore rule that, the conversation was public." Struck by Lightning. A lady rid hit? In a train found herself seated by the side of an old matron who wus exceedingly deaf.

" HIS GOOD FORTUNE. Whaa Hs Had to Work He Started a Dainty Rolling MilL I wss just entering open my thirtyfourth year when, owing to the failure of my wife's father, I5 found myself obliged to make a living. 1 bad often wondered where all the steel rails came from, and now I determined to go Into the business of supplying them to railroad companies. Having learned through careful inquiry that nearly all of tbem were made in rolling, mills. I persuaded the owner of a bankrupt iron foundry to convert it into a roiling mill. Then I, went to a good reliable machinery man on the next block and told him to send me some of the very best -rolling mill machinery that he bad la his store. Meanwhile my noble wife had not been idle, and by the time I wa ready to begin operations she had Induced several of the most brilliant women in society to agree to buy all their steel rails of us. Touched by her unselfish devotion. I clasped her in my arms, while the tears coursed down my cheeks. Then I called on a railroad president, told him that I desired, to become self supporting and asked him to buy some of my rails. He told me to deliver a basketful to bis place of business every Saturday night Greatly elated over my prospects, I called together a number of workingmen whom 1 found idle on the streets and directed them to make some nice steel rails without delay and take them around to the kind railroad president. - Rejoicing at the prospect of steady employmeut. the workingmen hastened to obey, and the rails that they, made under my direction proved so durable that in a very short time I bad all the orders that I could fill. I attribute much of my success to the fact that each rail Is delivered to tne customer tasteiuuy wrapper in tissue paper fastened with pink rlb- : bon. Delineator.

VOTING MACHINES . ERR; 4 LOSE OFFICES Muncie, Ind., Nov. 23.-Four candidates for Delaware county offices who were defeated at the recent election here, have now filed petitions to have the vote recounted. Adolph Silverburg. Democrat, defeated for the circuit court judgeship by a plurality of thirty-four votes; Charles Bowden. Democratic candidate for . county clerk, defeated by a plurality of about two hundred; Harold Hobbs, Republican candidate for recorder, defeated by a plurality of thirty, and Jesse G. White, Democratic candidate for sheriff, apparently defeated by a plurality of eleven, are all contesting. Silverburg's Republican rival. Captain Frank Ellis, has already entered on the duties of the circuit judgship. ' All contestants make practically the same allegation that the voting machines were defective. The validity of White's claim to have been elected sheriff is admitted by all sides, as it is known exactly how the error was made that caused O'Hara to receive a plurality on the face of the returns, but the allegations in the other cases are merely general In character, and these contests were probably filed to protect the contestants' rights should serioius errors be discovered when the recount of any one candidate's vote Is made.
