The "Furaished Rooms combination APP
peared at the Opera House last night to q
large audience, good sittings being at pre-.

"drawing" qualities Of this piece are simply
immense. This is not INTENDED as a reflection
on the play or the gallery deities, for the per-
Torrance was equally enjoyed by the very Sc
lect people below stairs.
FURNISHED Rooms" is farce comedy Of
the conventional type with an immense capac.
ity to please the average run Of amusement
goers. The play abounds in comic situations
which afford abundant opportunity for any
amount OF acting of the extremely ridiculous
and grotesque sort.
The fun arises from the efforts OF an amiable
old landlord to harmonic the moods Of badly
assorted and CT .nky set of boarders, who repre-.
sent book agent fend, musical crank, an
author, a ply stefan, missionary, copyist, an
ideal housekeeper and milk and water artistic.

quality of minding everybody else's business
better than her own, an aptitude not infre.
quent with housekeepers, the dodgers are bad

confusion results in great deal of innocent
fun and amusement.
The fun is of the convulsive, hysterical or

insist on having it. The part of the "Com.

favorite in st. Paul, and that of the book

A Successful Performance this Morning
Pistol Practice.
A successful safe blowing affair was perpe.
trated at an early hour this morning. The
affair took place at the grocery
store of Andrew Scoch, corner
of Seventh and Rosabel streets. At 10 min
utes to Q o'clock this morning. Officer Larson
passing the store noticed smoke issuing from
the interior. The officer tried the front door
and found it fast. He then passed around the
corner on Rosabel street, to go to the rear of
the building. As he approached the alley,
three men stepped out of it, and seeing the
officer, opened fire upon him, firing three
shots. The officer responded with his re-
volver, when the three men started and ran
down Rosabel street to Sixth street, up
which they turned and escaped.
Upon examining the interior Of the store 1t
was found the safe door had been blowed Oft
the robbers being repaid by getting $50. The
anly tool left behind was short crow-bar.
Entrance was gained through rear window.
