ADJUSTMENTS.
I'm the Ranks" Presented to Large and
Fashionable Audience at the Grand

In the RANKS" PRESENTED 10 Large anu
Fashionable Audience at the Grand
A large and fashionable audience assent led
at the Grand last night to witness the first
performance in st. Paul of the spectacular
drama entitled, SIN the Ranks,'' title, by
the way, which is not half suggestive enough,
for the reason that it affords no
key to the really interesting ac-
ton and events of the drama.
The beauty and charm of ''In the Ranks" is
I of a twofold character. In majority Of
modern spectacular pieces the playwright has
depended almost entirely on scenic effect,
the plot and dramatic action of the play being
subordinated to the elaborate productions of
the scene painter and the cum
ming contrvances of the stage carpenter.
In the drama under consideration the best
efforts of all three of the above have been
happily commingled aud cOmbired, the re-
suit being that while considerable license has
been taken, the dramatic unities of the plot
aud action have not been en- irely sacrificed
to mere display.
In this instance the scenery is worthy OF
more than passing mention, the settings,
particularly the revolving scenes, as
graphic, ornate and beautiful as have ever
been seen on the stage of this city. The
brook. scene in the second actis marvel of
beauty, the waterfall consisting of real
water and being most realistic in its effect.
This scene called forth the unqualified adj
miration of the audience as did the setting
of the English country wedding scene, with
its adjuncts of littls girl bridesmaids in the
third act. The military scene was
also graphical and liie-like, and the
transformation surprise scenes in the fourth,
fifth and last acts were all highly enjoyed by
the audience.
The plot of SIN the Ranks has been
given in previous issue of the GLOBE. The
cast comprises about thirty-fye people, the
principal characters being in the keeping of
Mcssrs. Buckley, Kiiday, Everham, Bell,
Percy, Miss Lewes, as the heroine. Miss
Donald and Miss AllistJu, the support
throughout being very good. The same play

How They Comfcrt Themselves

Prof. Payne, Of Carlton college, Northfeld,
returned from New Orleans yesterday, where
he has been in charge Of the Minnesota time
service ut the exposition building since the
opening. He asserts that the fruit exhibit
made by our state is far ahead OF that made
by any other, while the taste and attractive
ness with which the whole Minnesota exhibit
is arranged CON mands marked attention
from all visitors. New England makes
very poor show in comparison With the north
western states in the educational depart
ments, and the visitors coming from the
former only comfort themselves for this de-
fault by saving: We'll, we don't lose, for all
those northwesternrrs are emigrants or sons
of emigrants from New England"

MONDAY IN THE POLICE COURT.
A Grub Foundry Case Disposed of-Judge
Burr and the Bums-A Big Docket
of Minor Offenses,

vi MluOT
The police court presented the appearance
yesterday of symphony in terra Gotta and
red, the colors being supplied by half score
of beautiful bun tossers, couple OF whom
would nave furnished models for the brush
ofRubeus himself. Tneir appearance was
owing to row at the grub foundry known as
the City hotel, aud 1t all came about
from the stubbornness of Ellen S.xton,
the cook, whom it seems refused to give the
boarders their quantities OF red hot breakfast
cakes. The latter had AS. Weller, the landlord,
arrested for assault. but the testimony showed
that she was something of term lgant, and
that after she had been discharged she re-
fused to vacate the ranch, saying that she
would hold down the stove at any cost.
Weller appeared in court with section of
court plaster across the bridge of his nose,
the cut having been inflicted by the festive
Ellen, who pasted him with lamp and
candle stick. Weller was discharged.
Charles Clay, another cook at the same
hotel, was up on the charge of smacking
Annie Bean, a domestic. He said she
wouldn't OBEY orders and that he was ouly
irving to tame the shrew. 1t cost him
twenty-five bills and be was also put under
bonds.
Nancy Davis, tough old girl with weak
ness for her booze. was up on the same old
charge of having been lusned on the elegant
tanglefoot. She wore dizzy fascinator and
looked harder than a comic valentine. She
promised to swear or and the court let her
