The Academy of Fine Arts.

Among the numerous attractions now on
exhibition atthe Academy of Fine Arts is a
collection of crayon drawings, the work of
the artyclass at Hamline university. The
drawings cover a variety of subjects and
Prof. Holmes, who has charge of the class,
has reason to take just pride in the high
degree of proficiency attained by the stu
dents. The womans' department of the
academy is progressing finely and the dis
play of fancy work is the best ever shown
in st. Paul. The walls of the academy are
now adorned with number of fine old
engravings, many of which are very
valuable, while there are not wanting a
number of paintings by the students,
many of whom show decided genius for
the work.
The academy is filling useful and noble
mission in the advancement of art in St.
Paul. as applied not alone to painting, but
to the several branches of artistic endeavor
and the worthy efforts of Prof. Holmes
should receive that substantial encourage
ment and success so well deserved and
merited.

At the Opera House This Evening.

Amusement lovers should bear in mind
that Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee Rankin. support
ed by strong company, appear at the
Opera house this evening in"49." The New
York Commercial Advertiser says" Mr.and
Mrs. Mckee Rankin appeared at theIabove
named theater on Saturday night in uew
play entitled 49," which was received by
the large audience with unmistakable to-
kens of appreciation. '49" is. play, the
theme of which is based upon the story of
the Mountain Meadow massacre. The new
work is vigorous in sentiment and comedy,
andpossesses, in parts,vast superiority over
the ''Danites." To relate the plot would be
an improbable task. The principal charac-
tiers were played by Mr.. and Mrs. Rankin,
and much of the success of the play is due
to their excellent work

RAILROAD NEWS.

The N. Y. Herald of the 9th has the fol-
lowing in regard to the transfer of the line
from st. Cloud to st. Paul, by the st. Paul
& Manitoba line to the Northern Pacific.
''The Northern Pacific Inexperienced from
the st. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba
company the line from st. Cloud to St.
Paul, thus securing direct and independ-
ent route to st. Paul and Minneapolis. In
return the N0rthern Pac6ic1cedes to the
Manitoba company the Casselton branch,
leaving that company in undisturbed pos
session of the Manitoba traffic.
The papers according to the above were
signed last Saturday. The above transfer
has been many times denied by the rail-
road officials, but it seems to have come to
pass after all.
Mr.. Charles II. Warren, secretary to
General Manager Marvel, of the st. Paul
& Manitoba road, took his departure last
evening for the east for a vacation of three
weeks. This is the first and only vacation
that Mr.. Warren has had for three years.

the Minnesota transfer, made very hand
some present to Mr.. j. A. Hanley, formerly
superintendent of transfer, but now gen.
eral transfer manager of the Minneapolis

CITY GLOBULES.

Yesterday was the first real unpleasant

eral weeks. 1t was fall day, and more
or less rain fell along with the fall
There was but one occupant of the city
bastile last evening. and he was a poor devil
who had drank not wisely but too often.
He came from Minneapolis, and evidently
was not posted in regard to the strength
of city whisky.
Prof. Baker gave very interesting ad-
dress at the gospel meeting and song SER
vice held at the rooms of the Young Mems
Christian association yesterday afternoon.
There was large attendance considering
the inclemency of the weather.
The city has done commendable act in
improving the appearance of Rice park,
and has set an example that should be fol-
lowed by Ramsey county. The rotten, de-
lapidated, tumble down fence which sur
rounds Court House square is a disgrace
and an eye-sore. It should be either re-
moved entirely or new fence built.
The GLOBE reporters,in travelling around
the city, yesterday afternoon and last
evening, did not hear word in regard to
the merits of the sermons preached in
the different churches yesterday. but they
did hear any amount of comments upon
the relative merits of the tickets placed in
nomination by the two political parties
during the past week.
The letter boxes in this city ought to be
enlarged Or depositors of letters more care
full. At o'clock last evening the box on
the corner of Seventh and Jackson streets
was filed to overfowing and when the lid
was raised there was nothing to prevent a
person who so desired, from helping himself
to dozen or more letters, and nobody
would be the wiser.
There are several dangerous pitfalls on
lower Seventh street that either the own
ers of the property or the city authorities
should remedy, or there may be trouble.
On the north side of Seventh street, be-
tween Sibiey and Wacouta, the sidewalk
has been torn up and the areas to the new
block in process of construction are left

The Bertha Fiebach Concert Compan!

1Hc DSEthst Il kcOs-CH concert company.
The unfavorable weather last evening
was decidedly against the Bertha Fiebach
German Concert and Comedy troupe, and
it was probably a surprise to the sprightly
actress and pleasant songstress who con-
stitutes. one of the principal attractions of
the entertainment, that SO large an au-
dience came out under such adverse cir
cumstances to greet her. The first part of
the entertainment consisted of vo-
cal and instrumental music, nearly all of
which was so well rendered that the
enthusiastic audience insisted upon the Sc
cond and even the third appearance for
every member which rendered the enter
tainment quite long. The cornct and clar-
onet solos and duets were among the chief
features of the evening. Of Miss Bertha
Fiebach it may be said that she is very
bright, sparkling, vivacions and inspiring
actress. Acting seems to come as natural
ly to her as it does to breath. She made
very decided impression upon the audi
ence which received her, both in the vocal
numbers and also in the sprightly little
comedy.with generous and frequent marks
of honest satisfaction. The company was
received with such decided marks of favor
that it was determined to repeat the enter
tainment on Wednesday evening next with
change of programme.

missal from the army and disability to hold
office thereafter: The dismissal is an accom-
