SPARKLING ssNANON.v
The Pretty French Opera Given
With Spirit.

Genee's sparkling opera ''Nanon," was
given aG the Grand last night with dash,
spirit and general verre that kept the large
audience in one continual state of applause
Something must have been lacking on Mon
day evening, when the ''Mikado" was
given, for the change last night was most
pronounced, and the dashing French opera
sparkled from beginning to end. Drew's
comedy part was capitally taken, and
in spite of his want of anything
like a good voice, he was
pleasing even when he sang, though his
chief success lay in his powers of amusing.
Carleton's D'Aubegne was quite cleverly
played and sung, the solo and duo in the
second act leading in point of merit. Miss
Vincent, who made such a pretty Pitt Sing,
was quite as much of a success as the
voluptuous Ninon, and Miss Paullin made
a bewitching Nanon. Mr.. Leumane got the
lions share of the applause through a
catch song, Its Only a Question of
time" in which several political hits
were made, though his voice is quite
Indifferent. However, in such an
opera, individuality is not prominent
and the ensemble proved pleasing. The
chorus was strong point, both vocally and
y,
running through the opera is one of those
bright, Enthusiastically French ideas, with
just soupcon of suggestiveness. The gal
lantry and brilliant costumes of the time of
Louis w., the intrigue of the salon and the
courage of the duello, all figure conspicu-
ously. Nanon is the pretty hostess of the
Golden Lamb inn. The king had
once praised Nanon's wine and so
made the inn the popular resort
of the young courtiers. The
pretty hostess favored admirer is the
Marquis d Aubigne, who visits her under
the disguise of Grignon. drummer in the
kings army. At the opening of the opera
Grignon comes to the inn and is informed
by Mile Nanon that she has waited long
enough for his proposal of marriage. Nanon
is little treasure of thrift, devotion and
virtue. But however happy such a vision
might have made Grignon, the drummer, it
could not be entertained by his second self,
D'Aubigne, the marquis. Accordingly,
when the country relations of Nanon
arrive to celebrate the nuptialS the
marquis causes himself to be arrested by
officers of his regiment on bogus charge
OF dueling and he is taken away before the
marriage contract is signed. Then there are
plots and counterplOtS, in which NinOn de
FEnlos figures for release of NanOn'S lover,
she herself being in love with the marquis,
and not Knowing he is the drummer boy.
Nanon, too, seeks the king for pardon, and
after much trouble, disappointment, anger,
Jealousy, the customary conclusion is
reached and all are made happy. Joy!
Wassaill Finis! The same bill will be
given tonight and the 'sMikadon will be
given at the matinee.

THE EXPOSITION PROPOSITION.
Some of the Views Expressed..Lead-
ing Wants in Site and Building.

Some of the Views EXpresSed.-Le
ing Wants in Site and Building.
The proposition by the directors to have
the city buy the site for the exposition has
created universal comment, and it is safe to
say, other things being equal, the large
majority of taxpayers are in favor OF 1t.
There seems, however, to be an idea IN the
minds of many that legal obstacles may be
found, especially so as several leading at
torneyS, when approached on the SupJect,
decline to express an opinion at this time.
There is no doubt that. if the path is clear,
the people will heartily favor any reason
able proposition of this character. Council
will certainly provide all necessary infor-
nation and will if all shall be found right,
meet the directors on the line desired.
Judging from some of the expressions OF
opinion heard, very few people seem to
have an adequate idea of the cost OF piece
of ground suitable to the uses of the expo
SitiOn. In the first place, the dimensions OF
the building should not be less than 800 or
100000 feet. Next, the site must
imperatively be near the center OF the city
it would be fatal to locate it where it
would not be easily and readily accessible.
1t is conceded that such site as would Oe
suitable in size and location would not cost
less than $500. 900, and might go as high as
$500, 600. The smaller sum would entirely
absorb the capital, and leave the association
without building or working capital 1t is
further conceded that such building as is
now deemed necessary would cost not less
than $500, 900, while $3.50, 900 could be ex-
pended to much better advantage.
1t seems that to make the exposition the
success that every man, woman and child
in Minneapolis desires it to be- the plan
proposed by the directors is the only feast
bic one. 1t seems to meet the approval of
the taxpayers as it stands, and may readily
be changed to suit the views of the captious
ones. The two committees will confer this
morning, and no doubt the developments
will be interesting.

FEASTED TO FATNESS.
Hungry EEOOdiums Get n Christmas
Dinner at the Friendly Inn.

Dinner ut the Friendly Inn.
About 600 poor children who got no tur-
key dinner on Christmas, made up for the
lost opportunity yesterday at the Friendly
Inn. Many of them had apparently been
engaged in improving and enlarging their
capacity by system of abstinence, and car
ried away in their interior supply for a
week. The idea of giving the dinner to
the poor originated with several ladies and
was brought to focus at a meeting held
with Mrs. j. NJ. Robinson, where officers
We're elected and committees appointed.
Money and provisions were quickly forth
coming and the result was royal dinner,
which begun at II and ended at 4 o'clock
yesterday. The children presented them
selves promptly and were formed in line
and marched to the basement, where their
hands were relieved of sooty gloves and
nice warm mittenS presented. As many as
the tables could accommodate were seated
and when the famShed youngsters had
crammed themselves, they gave way to
Others. In many cases mothers presented
themselves with families, one woman intro
ducing fifteen children, none of them older
than Il years. Nobody was refused, and
the string continued until above 600 had
been fed, the ladies serving them and see
ing that each one had as much as he could
possibly eat and was ready, with satisfied
sigh, to leave the table. The bill of fare
was plain, wholesome and substantial. and
yet the dinner was as good as the average
Christmas feast. A little package of food.
enough for supper. was given each child as
he went out, so that in reality over thou
sand meals were furnished. The ladies
We're so elated with their success that the
Christmas feast will undoubtedly become an

THE FAT PASSENGER.

She Raises a Rumpus i'm a Street
Car and Sits on the Conductor.
Boston Globe.
A short, fat female, with gray hair, who
who had very intelligent face, and who
could not have been less than 70 years of
age, was passenger in Main street car
of the Middlesex street railroad on Wednes-
day afternoon. She had several packages
with her, and for time sat quietly. Sud-
denly she shouted 'Hurrah! Hurrahp'
The passengers looked at her in surprise,
and several laughed. ''I'm celebrating,
she cried. and then began to sing:
Will you love me when I'm old2
The passengers laughed loudly when the
old lady threw kisses carelessly about.
81 always have my good times Thanks
giving" she said, without directing her con-
versation to any one.
''Isn't it shame to see one so old intoxi-
cated?" said lady to her companion.
The aged female heard what had been
said, and cried: "You don't know what
fun ISL
Just at this time gentleman arose and
said to the conductor: '.Have we got to Oak
street yet?"
'sSit down and don't make fool of your
SELF" said the aged dame. ''People'll think
you're from the country if you ask ques-
lions. Wait till you get to the street and
then get out. Sit downw
The passenges were in roar by this
time, and the man meekly took seat near
the door, the conductor informing him that
he would tell him when Oak street was
reached.
where do you want to get out?" in
auired the conductor of the intoxicated wo-
man.
'sNone of your business" was the reply.
81 paid my fare to ride and not answer
questions" and this time the laugh was on
the knight of the punch. The old woman
continued to cause merriment until the
Neck stables were reached. when she
alighted gayly.

Years evening by Mrs. W. d. Washburn,
for her daughter and in honor OF her guest,
Miss Wilson.
Mr.. Anthony Kelly is completing hand
some residence on Linden avenue, which he
will give as bridal present to his daughter
upon the occasion of her marriage, in the
near future, to j. r. Corrigan.
The st. Anthony club gave holiday hop
last evening at its club rooms, corner OF
Fourteenth avenue and Fourth street south

very pleasant evening resulted.
The marriage of George S. Couch, the
well-known insurance man, and Mrs. M.

The Linton bal masque at the West hotel
on Thursday evening is the subject OF great
social gossip at this time. Nearly every in
vited guest has signifed his Intention to
attend and brilliant party is expected.
The number of masks is to be much greater
than was at first expected. Guests en-
masque will have their tickets in readiness
to avoid delay and prevent the necessity OF
an inspection by the reception committee.
An elegant banquet will be served and the
finest of music furnished during the even
ing.
Certain quarters Of society are very much
excited over the fashionable calls to be
made in Minneapolis New Years day.
While the number of ladies keeping "open
house, will be comparatively limited, the
character OF the reception arrangements
will more than compensate for the limit
of the number. The ladies will group in
threes, tours, or fves, with generally a
young married lady as chaperone, and will
brilliantly receive their friends. Those
gentlemen who will devote the day to pay
ing their respects to the ladies, and wishing
them the compliments of the season, will ar
ray themselves gUrgeOusly and do their
calling in the acme of style. Two we'll
known young men will be driven In liveried
tandem with ''buck and tiger" complete.
Ornate calling cards are not good form
this year, neither is the practicing OF offer
ing champagne and egg-nog.

Va"
A well-known architect, who is noted for
possessing a high forehead and a level head,
said yesterday: 1T is the sheerest folly to
undertake to open the exposition next fall
Such building as should be put up should
require year for construction, then let
them start in with the beginning of the
year to work up the exposition proper. II
this is done any sooner it will have a mis-
cradle patched up building and will not be
able to make respectable showing. Every
thing will be in disorder, the exhibits cannot
be properly arranged and thousand and
one important details will be neglected"
wx*
Said the same gentleman: 81 have seen
all the exposition buildings in the country,
and Chicago's is the best. 1t is strongly
built, well arranged and splendidly suited
for large meetings. AcOustically it is al
most perfect, and speaker or singer can
be heard with wonderful distinctness. Such
building is what Minneapolis should
have; not disjointed. slapped-up affair
that in a few years will hardly serve for
shelter during rain-storm."

81 see the GLOBE says we need stamp
agencies and stations where packages and
papers can be mailed more than we do the
rapid delivery SYSTEM" said business
man yesterday. l agree with this. It's an
internal nuisance to have to run to the
postoffice every time you mail paper or
package that wont go into mail box at the
street corner. There's one improvement
that Larraway could make without cost or
trouble. That is to have the Sits through
which we put mail at the postotfice made
larger. The hole for letters is too narrow
to take in square envelope, and you can't
get a package containing two newspapers
through the others to save your life. When
the Office is closed you are obliged to wait
until morning.
