a Fresh and Invigorating Comedy Sue
cessfully Presented.
The Madison Square company opened
brief engagement at the Opera house
last night in w. H. Gillettes comedy ''The
Professor" with Mr.. Gillette in the title
role. 'The Professor" is out of the beaten
track of modern comedies, and it is not
certain but the latter term as applied to
this drama is misnomer. ''The Pro-
fessor' is more of an idyl with the broad
scope of poetic license; it is fresh, invig-
Grating, unique. Subjected to the lens of
close scrutiny or analysis the drama
does not strike one forcibly.
Collectively it was smooth, entertaining
with plenty of by-play, and number of
interesting situations admirably enacted
The character of the professor is one of
the oldest on the stage, and Mr.. Gillette
presents to the public finished and cap
tivating impersonation. The plot is quiet
and the action is laid in a mountain resort
of New England. Here the Professor
comes on visit to lady relative. The
latter is surrounded by bevy of bright
and beautiful girls, who at once
lay siege to the Professors heart.
Upon the advice of his cousin or aunt
he makes up his mind to change his
bachelor existence, and in turn he pro-
poses to the six or seven beauties. The
abrupt manners of the student and his re-
freshing embarrassment are depicted in
the most ludicrous and delightful manner.
There dawns on the scene wood nymph,
''Daisy Brown" Miss Belle jackson, who
was abducted in her infancy and who is
ever pursued by her pseudo father, a
william named Moses Brown. Then there
is long lost brother, 'Henry Marston,"
Mr.. w. G. Cowper, who falls in love with
his sister.
Daisy is wooed also by the professor"
and things are finally squared by detec-
tive disguised as an artist, Mr.. Graham,
who unravels the mystery, restores Daisy
to her brother and the love match is con-
summated with the Professor. There are
| several good characters, notably, that of
''Mr. Tompkins" by Harry Allen, ''Gusta-
vus" by Mr.. Wilkes, "Moses Brown" by Mr..
Stokes, 'Estelle," by Mrs. Doray, ''Mrs.
Elliott by Mrs. Taylor. The plot is inter
esting and the entire performance even
and finished.
The drama was witnessed by large
audience last night, and their pleasure was
manifested by frequent rounds of ap.
plause. At the end of the third act s'the
Professor" and "Daisy" were called before
the curtain. The comedy will be pre-.
sented at the matinee this afternoon and
| tonight.

And Shows That Some Things Can Be
Done as Well rs others.
SENATE.

In the senate yesterday the principal
business on hand was the casting of votes
for candidates for United States senator,
and shortly after II o'clock the galleries
commenced to fill. A few ladies were
present and large number ofyoung miss
es, pupils at the high school, were also IN
position to look down upon the grave
senators as they cast their votes. At IL
O'Clock the senate was called to order by
Lieut.. Gov. Gilman and Rev. Robert
Smith, the chaplain,got in little election
eering on the senatorial question by pray
ing that the best man (who don't appear
to be Mr.. Windom) might be elected to
that honorable and important position.
Business of routine character was trans
acted and some little excitement was
created by Senator Knudson and Senator
Wilson by joint resolutions to get
at some of the heavy owners of the
Sioux City land grant, who now
dodge taxation on all their vast posses
sions. But what produced decided SEN
sation was resolution offered by Senator
Michael Doran directing the president to
appoint a committee of seven to investi-
gate all charges of bribery and corruption
that might come to their knowledge. The
Windomers looked disguised, but they did
not dare to vote down so reasonable reso-
luton. There was only very light vote
on the question, but the president speedily
declared it carried. Nothing sensational
occurred during the taking of the vote,
but everything went along quietly and in
a commonplace way, the Windomers look
ineffably sorrowful and woe-begone when
the announcement was made that their pet
candidate had received only twenty-three
votes. The voting for senator to-day will
be in Joint convention, and may be more
sens ltional, if some of the members of the
legislature profess a change of opinion
and with thick tongue attempt to ex-
plain their vote and say it wasn't on &C
count of the ''bar'l.''

MIDNIGHT ASSAULT.
A Young Man Waylaid and Wounded
Supposed Attempt at Robbery.

A Young Man Waylaid and Wounded
Supposed Attempt at Robbery.
Once more the miserable and abject
thug comes to the front in st. Paul in the
role of highway robber and would be as
sassin. The last attempt at outlawry oc-
Cured at an early hour Monday evening in
thickly inhabited part of the city, but
for some curious reason the affair was not
reported at city hall until yesterday morn
ing. Right here it is well to remind peo-
pie who have been attacked that it is their
duty to at once report all outrages to the
authorities, as few hours lapse of time
frequently results in the escape of the as
sailant and makes detection impossible.
The circumstances of the affair Monday
night are as follows: About 9 o'clock
young man named William Owens, in the
employ of 2. II. Kelly & Co., boarded car
in lower town for his home on Wabashaw
street, opposite the capitol. 1t was a st.
Anthony hill car and he got off at the cor
ner of Tenth and st. Peter streets, starting
east on the former street in the direction
of Wabashaw street. Tenth street, be-
tween St. Peter and Wabashaw streets, is
intersected by short alley. Just as Mr.
Owens reached it he was accosted by man
who jumped out in an aggressive way and
pointed a revolver at his head.
Owens at once grabbed his assailant's arm
and forced it away from his head. In so
doing the revolver was discharged, wheth-
er accidentally or not is not known, and
the ball took effect in the calf of the right
leg. His assailant then ran off. Oweus
made his way home, and DR.. Boardman
was called, who extracted the ball. The
bullet inflicted flesh wound which is not
considered dangerous. The affair created
considerable comment yesterday and
suspicion prevails in certain quarters that
the assailant may have been personal
enemy whose resentment was owing to the
estranged affections of a couple of young
ladies in the vicinity who are said to have
several suitors.
One thing is patent, however, that the
young man was assailed and it is pity
that his aggressor could not have been
plugged to death on the spot. There is
only one thing to do under the present
state of night assaults and that is in case
of attack to give the villains the worst of
it. It is stated that suspicious character
has been hanging around the neighbor-
hood for several evenings and that on one
or two occasions he has insulted little
girls.

serve his constituents by voting for Win
dom. He did!
Mr.. Collins said he had been listening
for long time to false charges against
Window. He spoke of Mr.. Buck as man
who was formerly Republican but who
now attacked WINDOWS character be-
cause. He was interrupted by calls of
order and he took his seat.
Mr.. Demeules, an alleged Democrat,
explained that he wanted to vote for a
man to represent his district and after de-
Liberation he had decided to vote for Win
dom. He did!
Mr.. Emery, a Democrat? said he rep
resented Window county. He was
elected on the superstition that he was
friendly to Window and hence he should
vote for him. He did!
Mr.. Hicks said he voted for William
Window because he was from Hennepin
county and no man would have been sent
to this legislature from that county if he
had not been Window man. Mr.. Grim
shaw Immediately arose and, in spite of
the noise of the speakers gayel and cries
of ''out of ORDER managed to make the
crowd hear him brand the statement of
Mr.. Hicks as falsehood.
Mr.. j. A. Peterson innocently remarked
that he voted for Window because he be-
lieved him to be an able statesman and an
honest man.
After the adjournment it was discovered
that Mr.. Holmstrom had been wrongly
recorded as voting for Dunnell and at the
request of the speaker his vote was
changed to Window. 1t was claimed that
Mr.. Daniels had voted for Window but
the record was not changed, it being
thought best to correct the record this
morning. The house adjourned till IL
o'clock this forenoon.

The condition of Hon. D. NJ. Sabin was
considerably improved yesterday. The
fever has been entirely broken, and the
severe pains in his chest and limbs have
been almost entirely dispelled. He is, of
course, very weak, but everything is now
favorable for his restoration to his usual
health in a few days-a fact that will be
hailed with great satisfaction by his
friends generally, and especially by his
colleagues of the legislature. Absolute

RESOLUTIONS.

RESOLUTIONS.
Senator Knudson offered a concurrent
resolution directing the attorney general
and the state auditor to furnish the legisla-
ture with information respecting the
status of the Sioux City railroad lands with
regard to taxation, and asked that it be re-
ferred to a special committee of three
senators and four members of the house..
Senator Wilson offered a joint resolution
upon the same subject which he desired to
accompany the resolution of Senator Knud-
son.
Senator Knudson desired to withdraw
his resolution and that of Senator Wilson
take its place, which was agreed to by the
senate.
Senator G. D. Gilfllan asked that the
resolution be referred to the committee on
taxes and tax laws.
Senator Wilson said that such a refer
ence would defeat the object of the resolu-
ton, which was to place upon the list of
taxable property the Sioux City land
grant, large portions of which had been
sold to wealthy men who escaped taxation
on the ground that it belonged to the
Sioux City Railroad company. 1t would
require an immense amount of labor on
the part OF the committee to accomplish
what was desired and to refer the matter
to the committee on taxes and tax laws
would only result in killing the resolution
by indirection as the session was too short
for the matter to be attended to after it
had been delayed in the committee on
taxes and tax laws.
Senator Rice, chairman of the commit
tee on taxes and tax laws, hoped the reso-
luton would not be referred to his COM
mittee. Mr.. Wilson was thoroughly in
formed on this subject, and it it were re-
ferred to special committee of which he
was member the most satisfactory re-
suits would be obtained.
Senator Stevenson knew that parties
were holding lands in the state which were
not taxed, and desired that such action
might be taken as would compel such
parties to bear their proportion of the
public burdens. He hoped Mr.. G. D. Gill
tillan's motion would not prevail.
It was then decided to print the resolu-
ton and place it upon the desks of sena-
tors, whereupon Mr.. Gilfillan withdrew his
motion and the resolution was adopted.
Senator Wilson then offered a resolution
directing the secretary of state to furnish
each member of the judiciary committee
with copy of the revised statutes for their
use during the session of the Legislature.

A Small RIaze.

The alarm of fire from box No. 5, at 7:30
o'clock last night was occasioned by the
discovery of flames in the second story of
the frame building situated on the north
east corner of Fort and Douglas streets.
The fire originated up stairs and is sup
posed to have started from defective
chimney. It burned fercely for few
minutes, but upon the arrival of the
department it was soon squelched.
The building is owned by Mike Wandra
who resided on the second floor. The
down stairs was run as a saloon by John
Kalart. The latter's loss was slight and
will MT amount to 800. Mr.. Wandra's
loss will probably foot up $3.50, for which
ne is fully insured.

Accident or Suicide.

The condition of Mrs. Helm, the woman
who shot herself in the side at her resi-
dence in the Sixth ward on Monday, was
reported yesterday to be greatly improved.
The circumstances connected with the
shooting are somewhat mysterious and the
affair is regarded as exceedingly singular.
AS stated in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE
the circumstances favored the theory of
suicide, which Mrs. Helm and the family
deny, accounting for the affair on grounds
purely accidental. Mrs. Helm and the
family are reticent about the matter and
there is little to rely on but outside gossip.
Among other bits of gossip floating about
is the statement that the family relations
were not altogether beautiful, and the
shooting has been attributed to difficulties
of this nature. A singular coincidence of the
case is that the bullet entered the body at
about the same spot where the Farrell girl
shot herself. The affair has caused a great
deal of painful regret among the numer-
Gus friends of the family, and in the alb
sence of direct testimony, it is but proper
that the affair should have the full benefit
of all doubts. The hope is expressed
that Mrs, Helm may rapidly recoVer.
