Mis-. Gs,st.s Musical so,ree.

Last evening the pleasant rooms of Miss
Marie Geist's conservatory of music, on
upper Third street were filed by the par
ents and friends of the pupils of Miss
Geist, who had assembled for the purpose
of listening to the performances OF her
pupils on the piano. The programme
consisted Of eleven selections, comprising
a good deal Of variety, and some quite
difficult work. Some Of the pupils are
quite young, yet they played the selections
assigned to them with a good deal Of sK H..
and in manner that reflected great credit
upon their teacher. OF course the perform
ences were not without defects which the
critic would be called upon to notice.
This is necessity in the
nature of the case. But de-
fective playing on such an occasion is
not to be noticed. That which is notice-
able though is the marked superiority in
the style, or techpic, that IS incuIcated at
this conservatory. This stood oct plain
u and was very marked. It was very
pleasant evening and the young gentlemen
an ladies played with confidence and
spirit. Il is pleasant to know thst Miss
Geist is succeeding so admirably in bulk
ing up first class school OF music here in

ARTISANS TRAINING SCHOOL.
A Department in ths State University of
Great Utility

One of tie great defects in the higher
educational institution OF the country is
the lack of practica. mechanical education.
Every city and town is full of young men
seeking employment, who if they had
trades or knew how to use their hands rs
we'll as their heads need not be idle mo
msnt. They are almost helpless, because
the market is overcrowded with the wares
which they have to offer.
1t gives the GLOBE especial pleasure to
recount the great success which has a.
tended the Introduction of department
of Mechanic Arts in the University of
Minnesota. The university circular thus
describes the department.
This school is tho outgrowth of the ex-
pertinent made during the last few years
in giving instruction in shop work, draw
ing and mathematics to young men in
tending to become ertizans, and to those
already at work in the trades.
The instruction in shop work is given by
means of a series OF exercises carefully
planned, so as to cover in systematic
manner the usual operations in use in the
various trades. This course is
designed entirely with a view
to gi ing instruction in the use Il
tools, auu NOS with The object OF construct
ing any article of commerce. For ex-
am pie, in the conrss in vise-work the work
begins with simple exercise in removing
the scale from piece of cast iron, and af-
forwards fling it to q true plane surface
between two lines marked On the sides.
Daring this exercise the student learns how
to hold his file and how to move it without
rocking, as well az the method of testing g
plane surface with straight edge.
From this exercise he passes to
more difficult ones, in each of which
he applies what he has previously
learned, and is taught something
new. The course in wise work includes
filing to line, fling to template, free-hand
fling, fitting, and chipping straight and
curved surfaces in cast iron, wrought iron
and steel. A similar series of exercises
is worked out in the course of forge work
which includes bending, upsstting, draw
ing Welding, shaping, punching, temper
ing in water and oil, and with pine wood
test
The course in hard wood york also ia
upon the same plan, and includes exercises
IL Saving, plhuinR, JoiuSiHs, Cuieoiiug
marking, etc.
The officers of the university point with
psrdonable pride to the success Of the de-
partment. One of the instances given il
that of a young man at work in one of
the mills at Minneapolis, who came to the
ARTISAN Training School," about the time
it was first opened TO learn 10 draw. He
is now forman of Z. A. Pray's machine
shop, the largest institution of the kind in
the state, at salary of $4,000 year.

THE VERmrLYE-MYnRs scANDAL.

Arrival of the Mother of the Plaintiff ia
the Divorce suit-Tfer Statement Show
ing the Guilty Correspondence Between
Gen. Myers and Mrs. yerniiye-The Fa-
Their OF Mrs. VermiIye Driven to His
Grave by Myers Threats.
There arrived in ST. Panl yesterday Mrs.
w. d. Vermllye, the venerable mother of
Mr.. Daniel B. Vermilye, whose misfortune
1t Is to have been the luckless victim to as
great wrong as could be directed against
the peace OF a man or the welfare and
happiness of MS household.
Mrs. Vermilye came from her home in
Orange, N. j., and she now occupies apart
ments at the Metropolitan hotel. Owing
| to the fatigue of travel, and to the great
strain which the fret and worry have i'm
posed on refined and sensitive mind, the
lady was not in condition yesterday to
submit to an interview, and to have SUBJ
Jected her to this species of modern inqui-
sltlon, under the circumstances, would
| have been cruel. The GLOBE representa-
tive on presenting his card, was met by
| Mr.. Vermilye, who cordially consented to
seeing his mother and transmitting
any information upon the unhappy affair
she Nigh happen to have.
| AS result Mrs. Vermilye stated that
the first intimation she had received of the
guilty iasion between General Myers and
her daug liter in law was during visit of the
latter to her home in Orange in May, 1882
At that time her suspicious were aroused
by the unusual number of letters received
l hET< Ia Io44 cbo al
to conceal, and about the arrival of which
much anxiety was manifested. Finally
Mrs. Vermilye ran across one OF
| those letters, the contents of which
were of the most compromising character
showing, as it did most conclusively, the
guilt of the parties. Other letters were
intercepted ann they only tended to con-
firm the suspicion. Shortly after this time
Gen. Myers and Mrs. Vermilye left on theil
tour, the particulars of which are fully
known.
But this was not the worst of it. In the
course of what followed Gen. Myers wrote
a number of threatening letters to Yer
milye's father, .the menacing tones Of
which so worked upon his
feeble health that he rapidly declined and
last April he died "This," said Mr.. Yer
milye, yesterday, in speaking Of the sad
, episode, sis why I shall pursue this
affair to the bitter end.'
1t was these letters that worried my father
into his grave, and for this I have the Ger
tificate of a physician in Orange county,
who states that his life was shortened by
anxiety and care about this thing"
In reply to inquiries, Mr.. Vermifye ia
formed the reporter that there were no es
pecially new developments in the case
He had heard, he said, that Myers was il
Chicago, but that the latter was afraid tc
show his cowsrdly face in st. Paul, was
certain. He also stated that charges
weuld be preferred against tbs latter, ant
that he would be tried by court martial.

The Trsabadours.

A season of fun and frolic was inaugu-
rated at the Opera house last night by
Salsbury's Troubadours, who appeared in
the highly amusing sketch, Screen Room
Fun" The extravaganza was written by
Bronson Howard, and like a boardin Q
house pudding, it is made up of a
great many condiments. good,
bad and indifferent, while the
whole is high favored and spicy, the sea
soning being exactly the sort of stuff
to captivate the average theatrical
audience. The funny business, and there
is plenty of it, ranges from slight touches
of comedy to broad buffoonery and the
absurdly grotezque, all indiscriminately
commingled, the skeleton of plot serving
admirably to show of the speciality bust
ness of several bright actors.
The cast Introduces Nate SALISBURY, as
Both McForrest, the ''chief War Cloud"
etc, Nellie McHeury, as Kitty Plumpet and
the Indian Princess, Mr.. Webster. as the
Rev. Duckworth, W. s. Da5oll, as Capt.
Opdyke, Fannie Dsboll, as Mrs. Westlake,
and hslf dozen others not so prominent.
The entertainment consists of number
of popular songs well rendered by the
members respectively, grotesque dancing,
hits, puns and witticisms and Judging
from the hearty applause which greeted
the performance last night it was greatly
relished by the large and fashionable audi
enc. The most amusing features are in
the last set, the amateur stage set in this
act being very realistic. The same thing
