ADJUSTMENTS,
The Grand.

Last Sunday morning the GLOBE pre-
dicted for Nine. Modieska the largest and
most successful dramatic engagement OF
the season. The prediction was fully veri
| fed. The receipts of the three days
season aggregated between four and five
| thousand dollars. This establishes, beyond
| dispute, the fact that Minneapolitans dis
| tinguish between fair ability and real
| genius. Since the occasion of the formal
opening of the Grand there has
not been seen such fashionable audiences.
On Monday night the auditorium was filled
to the foyer. Every box wss filled, also.
Tuesday night was severely cold and there
was slight falling of, but the house was
completely filled again on Wednesday
night.
Modjesks does that which no other
| artistic has done in Minneapolis-she has
| held large audiences spell bound from the
time she first appears to the close of the
play. There was a marked absence of ap-
plause, and that because the audiences
were enchanted instead of becoming en-
thusiastic as climaxes were reached-cli-
| makes if played with ordinary smerit
would have elected hearty applause.
Everything which this premier exponent
OF hisronic art attempts is charmingly pre-
sented, and the slight advance in her
prices over those Of little or no talent nor
merit has been cheerfully paid by our
theatre-goers, despite the attempt of Ger
tain parties to create dissatisfaction on
acoount of 1t.
The week closed in a three nights sea-
son by Neal Burgess in the new play of
VIM" The audiences have been small,
and it is the popular verdict that "vim- is
not q success.
The first half OF this week the house will
be unoccupied, the company which was
booked for the same having cancelled the
dates. On Thursday night Callendsr's min
| strels, which play in st. Paul the first half
of the week, will open three night ses-
son in minstrelsy. Billy Kersands and
the Heyers sisters are numbered among
the favorites.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.-The

of discharging fire arms in the city limits.
Recorder-''You fired off a gun twice:
did you kill anybody"
mo, your Honor"
Don't you know that it is a very Sc
rious matter to fire off a gun and not kill
anybody? Don't you know that you are
liable to be punished severely for such
carelessncss2'
Il do, your Honor; but there are NIT
igating circumstances
What are they, and are there many of
them?"
"rhey are cats, and there are any
number of them"
Recorder (brightening up)-:'So you
are bothered with cats, too, are you?
Come here one moment. Tell me, how
many did you kili?"
Three with the first barrel and two
with the second"
Splendid Glorious! What size shot
do you use?'
Il use duck shot
That fetches them, does il! Humph!
Couldn't-you-lend -mc-your-gun-
for -a-few-days?'
Certainly, your Honor; but you
must remember that you are liable to be
punished very severely if you shoot oft a
gun inside the city limits and do not kill
anybody"

a lean looking countryman, about -ix

dlspruIortionaiely small head. stepped
up 10 pJilceman Frazier yesterday, anu
catching him by the arm. said
% you know a place " ere a man

Yes, sir promptly answered the
policeman, who felt convinced that he
had caught a crank. DO you want to
be accommodated
Il do" said the stranger ''Ju,t
show me the place and give me FIVE min
utes TO write a letter and | u ready TO
die"
''All right, sir. just come along and
we will TX you up nicely" The police
man walked the stranger to the Jeffer-
500 Market Police Court and presented
him to Justice Duffy. The prisoner
talked nationally enough and did not ap-
pear TO be under the Influence of liquor.
ln answer to the magistrates questions
he said hat his name was Michager
| Rosser, that he was a farmer BY occupa-
ton and had just come on from Chatham
county, n. G.. Upon being searched a
loaded revolver and SlO5 in cash were
| found in his pockets.
How is it you want to die with so
much money III your clothes? asked the
Justice.
We'll, | think a man has a right TO
die when he pleases, money or no money,
answered the prisoner, III a doleful tone
What brought you to this city?'
II clme On a pleasure trip.
Did you drink any liquor while in
this city2"
mo sir; | have not tasted a drop
After a little further parley the sIran-
ger admitted that he had come North
In answer to a circular that promised to
make him rich. provided he could COM
mand a capital of 800. He had scraped
together the requisite amount and start
ed ont expecting to go back with p.enty
OF wealth. Upon reaching the city he
learned that the riches would have to
be acquired bv dealing in counterfeit
money. The farmer was almost tempted
to deal 10 the spurious notes, aud called
at the appointed place for that purpose,
but the lear of the consequences deter
ed him. Finally, getting Disguised, he
concluded that there was nothing to live
for. He said he could not face his
friends again and be made a laughing
stock of.
How much money did you nave when
you left homer asked the Justice.
About Si30,' replied the farmer.
Then you have not lost much and
can easily return"
THAT is easier for you to say than for
me to do"
1T is a most remarkable fact TO me
that you escaped the s~harpers,' said the
Justice.

had been drugged, and decided TO lock
him up for further examination. "A. J..
