out few days ago, and now people are
sweltering in the shade in lawns, muslins
and linen listers. The weather prophet
seems to be enjoying All exceed dinghy
lively game of leap frog, much to the dis
comfort of the people.
Jack Frost sneaked ia mon us and
planted his desthly kiss upon jess mine,
madeira, ivy aud mofnmE glory, and
they now cling paiid and lfeless 10 their
sending up their silent but ire
sistible appeals to FiOra's pathizers.
The lawns, parks aud shady resorts whose
boundaries are Tapped by The murky wa
ters of the'sinuoas Red yet retain their look
of verdant freshness and invite visitors
from the heated dusty, noisy. thoroughfare
of the city, where lite seems jangle and
snarl of business and cares.
THE SOCIAL SEASON
Despite the higu altitude of the mercury
Is fully IIau lurated. fhe people have had
protracted rest from tn drama and OPP
era, and their purses as well as their bod
les have grown fat il consequence, but the
prospect seems to portend hollow cheeks,
emaciated forms, empty purses
and destroyed and rained
constitutions tor Manager C42ehart. who
holds the tiller of the anu sement baroue
in the northwest. has proposed a pro-
gramme of dramatic and operate enter
TANNER that will keep the people busy
looking for reserved seats, and charging
their costumes for the next two months
Fargo people will go. They are fond of
pleasure and are bound TO have it. The
glare of the footlights and the shifting
scenery has a peculiar fascination for
them, and they plunge into the whirlpool
of excitement with the same blind will
lingness that the moth fntters around the
scorching fame of the candle.
The ice was broken last Thursday night
by the Thespian club, an
amateur organization that
is made up of the finest dramatic talent to
be found in the northwest, and their per
formances would put to shame many of
the nomsdic professional combinations
that wander into the city with Haunting
colors and biaring music.
Never, since the Opera house has been
open to the public, has an actor smiled
upon larger or more refined audience
than greeted the Thespians; Fargo's fair
est, richest and most gallant were there
and filled the house to the last seat in the
balcony, ever willing and ready to applaud
and praise the very laudable efforts of the
actors to please.
The play presented was j. Stirling
Coyne's, best and most brilliant and
interesting comedy entitled, "Everybody's
Friend a peculiar composition barren of
plot but full OF ridiculous, mirth provoking
situations that could not fail to please a

MIsR FANNIE CARDIN
who assumed the character of Mrs. Swan
down, fascinating. cold hearted widow
whose power to fracture hearts and laugh
at her conquests was remarkable; the role
was taken admirably by the young lady,
who had often appeared in minor roles
and been awarded the warmest praise for
her ability as an actress. AS an amateur I
think Miss Cardin in blithesome, vivacious
characters exhibits more real artistic dra-
matte talent than any have ever seen;
though not beautiful, she Is of pleasing ap-
pearance, attractive form and intelligent
face combining to make her 80,
but if there were Objectionable
features in her person, they would be COM
pletely hidden by her superb acting, un-
affected manners, graceful and perfectly
natural gesturing, pleasant, we'll moder-
ated voice, clear and comprehensive
articulation, made effective by fine ex-
preston and exquisite taste manifested N
costuming; should the young lady adopt
the stage as profession it would certainly
be but short time before the dramatic
world would be compelled to grant her its
warmest favors. The support throughout
was frst-class, and the per-
Torrance was pronounced unanimously q
grand success.
COLONEL DOMAIN
is home again looking rather pale and
care-worn from his arduous work in the
const, tutioual convention at Sioux Fails.
The versatile colonel says his trip
was not without its little
interesting episode. tie came near fighting
fistic duel with a tonguey scribe of the
Chicago Times, who presumed to know
something about the politics of south Da-
kota, and pitted himself against the col
onel in a conversational go as you please
race, without receiving a challenge; the
great speech maxi doubled his pen grasp
ers and squared himself for death war
rant, when the Times man skipped out,
leaving his antagonist master of the field,
as usual. The colonel was completely
disguised with the action of Mrs. Bones,
who persisted in having her say in the con-
vention, despite the many severe snubs
she received, and made 10 bones of claim
ing that the women of the territory should
be accorded all the legislatorial powers of
man.
The base ball round up is fin
ished and the Fargo ball cuffers
have retired from the diamond with an
unprecedented record of defeats. 1t has
been hard season for them, and they have
at last got the swellinglout of their heads
at time when it will do them no good.
The Red Caps lunched on them two days
last week, and there isn't enough of them
left to swing a club. The st. Paul boys
deserve credit for their gentlemanly con
duct while in the city, as not word can
be SAID disparaging to their department.
THE KISSING KANTATRIOE IS COMING"
Emma Abbott, the charming little diva,
is booked for the metropolis, and she will
be rapturously received. The Opera house
will be filled to Overlooking, as people
from the surrounding towns and
country are manIfestiag their
intention of improving the opportunity
offered them of hearing the famous song
stress by purchasing seats in advance.
