GRAND OPERA HOUSE. + The Marks' Company Greeted By a Big Audience. The bumper audience at the Grand Opera House, last evening, demon- strated the popularity of the Marks Bros, with a large section of theatre goers &f this city, Every seat was oceupied and standing-room was at a wemium. The company presented a our-act drama, entiiled "The Ragged Princess," a scene in the sunny south, with the vivacious little artist, Gracie Marks, in the title role. From her ap- pearance to the close she held the in- terest of the audience and was repeat- edly applauded. Elizabeth Bates, as "Juliet," was clever in her part.

The Saurs, in their inferno act, were weird and mysterious and won much applause for 'their Inscinating work, The set. ting of this scené was very beauti- ful: Musical Nalon, with his electric chimes, musical lyre and flash ham- mer, proved himself to be a musical genius, and well earned the applause he received. Mr. Wilgus, in connec: tion with the illustrated pictures, ren- dered, in fine voice, several pretty songs. The pictures were viewed with pleasure, especially the birth of the Messinh, with the orchéstra playing an | anthem. The scenery was appropriate with Gracie Marks in the title role.

PLOYING FEMALE LABOR. r---- A Comment on the Bell Telephone Trouble in Toronto--Telephone Company Treats Its Employees Better Than Factories Do. Kingston, Feb. 11.-To the Edit- The investigation wow being salurics and alleged strain under which the Bell Yetephone company = operators labor, will, no doubt, conducive to much good. It will cer- tainly clarify the air on this particu lar subject, but there will be real danger in the minds of employees who largely employ young girls, lest their ¢mployers get wise and insist that their ten to - twelve hours a day = be shortened, that their $2.50 to $3 a week wage be lengthened. or that their manifestly unsanitary surround- ings be ingroved. The mapagement of knitting mills, cigar and manufactor- jes and sweat shops have indeed just cause for alarm. The concensus of opinion may. be that the eight-hour day and increased salary which the Bell Telephone com- pany have adopted, is not on an equitable basis ftom the point of view of the operators or «from the com- pany's standpoint. : : Apart from the merits of demerits of the case, it is merely human that the twentieth century idea so papular with our legislators and nearly every- one else should permeate into the ranks of the telephone operators and be pushed, as every good idea should be pushed, to the front. That idea is simply this---to { the maximum salary for the minimum effort. We rub shoulders with this idea in all walks of life. If a grievance exists then by all means remedy it, but it seems m- credible that this question of alleged grievance of Bell Telephone employees should have been singled out to form the subject for government enquiry. When one thinks of the numberless factories, sweat shops and kindred in- stitutions. employing frail girls, from twelve vears of age and upwards m most unwholesome and gernv-laden at- mospheres from ten to twelve and fourteen hours of health did not put on their spec- tacles long since and endeavor to sava the health of our young girls from al- most certain ruin. From personal investigations of the conditions, and other atmospheric wise, in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, 1 can most for sanitary Kingston and Hamiltod, emphatically: say' that a day, at starvation wages, it is indeed strange that some kindly-disposed officials of our boards FEBRUARY 12. wha inwide duties compel t "(g 'be outside mokt of the time, This is best attested b the fact that the employees remain longer in the y's employ than in any other sphere, and the fact that young women strive for this class of employment 'in preference to others, is the best argument to support the theory that they are well satisfied and contented. But it is hard to escape th: walking delegate, the silver- tongued orator, whose very existence in this world is threatened if he does not succeed in making others dis contented, where before his adient everyone was satisfied. From any one doubting the above, I would say visit any ome of the com- pany's large exchanges and then form your own conclusions, It seems to me that where a person is not satisfied with a position and finds eight hours a duy and increased salary unbearable, he or she should look about to some other institution where better terms are avai'able and where conditions in general are more in harmony with the individuals con- stitutional requirements. The Toronto operators, it would seem, prefer to rema'n, but in the doing of it, wish incidentally to hold-up the company. It is only fair to suppose that the employer of labor should have the or those whose purchase tke necessary assistance re- quired--it is the seller's prerogative to refuse to sell. Neither purchaser nor seller would care to be pestered by people, who in their own spheres, drive the hardest bargain possible. The Bell Telephon: company are giv- ing the people their money's worth, and a service second to none on this continent. They are one of ithe most abused corporations 1 know of. They treat all employees in a first class manner, - yet thousands of concerns who exact the last pound of flesh from their employees receive no attention whatever. I feel that this present enquiry will completely vindicate the company's position, and at the same time call attention to the unquestionaly bad conditions that prevail in cigar fac tories, sweat shops, ete. If it does, and that vigorous action is taken in behalf of our girls, then the investiga- tion will mot have been in vain. --FAIR PLAY. The Market Toll Question.

On the fastest ice which a hockey match has been played on this winter Varsity 1i beat Cadets last evening by the score of 8 to 5." 1he Toronto team played championship hockey from start to finish and the score was con- stantly tied, showing that Cadets were wdways in the game. The better team won out. The Toronto forwards show- ed the GOO enthusiasts present an gx- hibition of lightning dashes that has seldom been equalled in Kingston, The game started at 8:15 o'clock. The visitors were aggressive and alter | seven 'minutes play Evans scored the | first game. Cadets took a brace im- mediately and Green tied the score.

Two of the military men had a collision, anc. during the plunge Var- sity scored, making the score 7 to 5. McSloy got the last goal, on a wing shot, one minute before the call of time. Evcrything was in favor of the To- ronto team. They were speedy and light, and in consequence the hard ice favored them, Cadets did not play their positions and made the mistake of crowding the goal tencer. If the weather is softer for Cadets game in Torénto the score may casily be re- versed as Varsity won't be able to go the pace on Toronto's small rink.
