_ KIHMESS PEHFUHMAHSE
As proof of the success of the Kir-
mess and of its unparalleled charm,
its repeat performance at the Opera
House last night was responsible for
as large an audience being in at-
tendance as has ever been seen in
that spacious hall.
Again a very successful performance
was given, the large audience, who no
doubt included many who had attend-
ed the first night, being highly ede-
lighted with the excellent entertain-
ment provided for them. While as for
the beautiful and beautifully dressed
performers, -children and grown-ups,
they quite surpassed themselve in
their charming and graceful dances
and their splendid songs and chor-
uses. Miss Bartlett once more dis-
chargedthe duties of sole accompan-
ist, and added to the successs of
dance and song by her sympathetic
and excellent aécompaniments.
Another scene of enthusiasm was
witnessed when the voting took place
to decide the best group of dancers
for the evening. The number of votes
polled far exceeded thlat of the prev-
iolls night, and this amount realized
therefrom was cdnsequently consider-
ably greater than cm the first night.
The amount realized last night was
no less than $250.90, while on the
previous night it was $153, making
a total for the two performances of
$403.90. which, as announced by the
promoter, Mr. Lynwood, is all to go
to the charities which are to benefit
from thc Kirmcss. On last nlght’s
voting the children were the best
dancers, 1,231 votes being recorded
for them, 180 votes more than their
nearest rivals, the Roumanlans; next
in order being this Carmen group, the
Spanish dancers, the Bohemians, the
Summer Boys and Girls and then the
Japs.
There will be matinee
performance of the Kir-
mcss this afternoon; commencing at
3.30 o'c1ock. The price of the seats in
the lower floor is 50 cents; and of
those in the balcony, 25 cents.
2,000 YEARS LOST ANNUALLY.
OTTAWA, December 18-An aver-
age money loss of $1,500,000, is
caused to Canada by strikes and
lockouts, according to the annual re-
port of the department of labor, just
issued. A review of all strikes and
lockouts from 1901 down to 1913,
made by the department, shows that
during these twelve years there were
1,319 strikes and lockouts, involving
in all 319,880 men, and eutailing u
loss of working time for the whole
period of slightly under 9,000,000
days, or an average annual loss of
750,000 days. Thus, somewhat para-
doxically about 2,000 years of work-
ing time are lost during every calen-
dar year by labor disturbances. Plac-
ing on the working day the low
money value of two dollars the time
losses for the twelve years, represent
about eighteen million dollars-a mil-
lion and a half yearly.
There were 150 strikes and lock-
nnts last year as -against 99 for 1911,
but the actual time loss was only
fifty per cent. of that of the previous
year. _

OTTAWA, Dec. 19-The 'belief is
current ln railway and political cir-
cles here that the C. P. R. may buy
the C. N. R. and that the rumors to
that effect in circulation may have
some fact behind them. The opinion
is based on a recent article in a
Montreal paper 'favorable to the C.
P. R., which hinted at the purchase.
It is stated that notwithstanding
subsidies the C. N. R. is still in need
of money. Under these circumstances
a change of ownership will not be
surprising.

TORONTO, Dec. 19-There is con-
siderable unrest in Canadian Order
Home Circles which are nmking dras-
tic changes ln the assessment of mem-
bers. Considerable feeling was shown
it a meeting of the Toronto circle
last night. A number of members sx-
pressed the opinion that they might
as well drop out now as increasing
rates would drive them out. It was
_strongly urged, however, to walt un-
til March when the Supreme Lodge
meets and plans will be advanced
putting the organization on a better
basis. It is alleged that there is to be
a general increase in rates of mem- i
bers who have been paying an assess-
ment of $8 per year will now pay as
high in some cases as $38.40. The
head ollice of the Home Circles ad-
mits there is to be s. general advance
in rates. The order has 2,000 mem-
bers in all parts of Canada. It is
believed their affairs have been well
managed but changing conditions
made increased rates necessary.
