WHICH ONE?

Did you ever accompany her when she
bought the fan? If you have not, don't. 1t
is a proceeding as full of reflection as a
mirror and requiring as much discussion as
a congressional appropriation. Two of
them usually go together. and the pretty
saleswoman waits while they decide which
one will best suit her new brocaded silk
And the young woman behind the counter
takes down box after box. listens to all the
talk about the love of a dress, and makes
up her mind that she is going to have just
such gown herself or know the reason
why. Finally a decision is reached, the
fan is sent home.
Anybody but the young man himself can
tell at a glance what an important part in
his affairs the fan is playing. He doesn't
know, poor fellow, that the pretty ivory
toy, which only yesterday lay idly wrapped
in tissue paper in Broadway store, is to
make Benedict of him. He doesn't stop
to reflect that there is really no reason why
she should put the coquettish thing up to
her lips and lean over to whisper to him.
There is nobody else in the room, and her
communication would be just as confden-
tial if she were to shout it. But it wouldn't
be SO effective. He never stops to think of
this. The fan catches him, he takes it
from her for moment, she leans over to
get it again, and then-well, anyhow, the
fan is broken and so is his bachelorhood.

FAN FANCIES IN PENCIL.
Sketches of the Airy Toys With Some Anal.

Fans that are Used for Warmth and
Others that are Used for Effect.
The Woman's Weapon of Defense and
Attack in Matters of the Heart.

There is, at least to the masculine mind,
curious inconsistency in the assertion that
the beginning of winter is the beginning OF
the reign of the fan. To the heavy mind
of mere man the fan means more or less
useful implement that ladies employ to keep
themselves cool during August days. This
is about as far as the man ever gets on the
fan question. But in the hands of the av-
erage woman the fan means something far
less prosaic. 1t has language of its own
and thousand mysterious uses that the u
initiated never know. Its chief use is to
keep one not cool, but warm. That is why
the dull dress fans are always made of soft,
fluffy feathers. If you notice her the next
time at the opera you will see that when
the door of her box opens and there is a
draught, how instinctively the fan goes up
to the bare neck, and the warm feathers
cover the decollete cOrsage. 1t isn't be-
cause you enter that she modestly does that
1t is becruSe she is cold

At the st. Paul Grand,

Charles Hoyt was here with his latest
production, ga Tin Soldier" the first three
days of last week. The piece Is very
funny, and the audiences that saw it showed
fully their appreciation. Simply an aver
age business was done. Mr.. Hoyt says he
can't tell, don't know himself just how he
goes to work to put together such plays as
he has written. He usually carries note
book in his vest-pocket, and when he sees
Or thinks of funny incident OF situation
he puts it down, and finally when he has
enough for two-hour-and-a-half piece he
strings them together and pitches copper
for name. In evidence of this he pro-
duced from his pocket his manuscript for
his next play, which consisted of an ordi-
nary notebook full of ''crows' tracks, :"
such as reporter might make in his reg
ular rum" Hoyt said he put them down
some times in the theaterS some times on the
streets and sometimes at the hotels. There
was very little work in it until he came to
the finishing touches. The first half of this
week, 'Over the Garden WalI'" will be at
the Grand. 1t is said that this is just as
full of fun as ga Tin Soldier" and has the
added advantage of a plot. Mr.. and Mrs.
George s. Knight have leading parts, and
the company number fifteen. There is al
most as much of the song element as in the
comic operas, some fifteen or eighteen selec-
tions of variety of sentiment beng intro
duced. The company has been playing to
big houses in the East. and after week in
Minnesota will head for Chicago.
MISS LILLIAN RUSSELL.
The last half of this week Lillian Russell
will be at the Grand with an opera COM
pany under the management of Charles A.
Miller. This will be the first visit of Miss
Russell to st. Paul, and on three occasions
she will sing in ''Polly. the Pet of the Reg
iment," an opera never yet heard in this
city. Miss Russell is young on the stage
being but 10 years old. She was born in
Chicago. her father being solid business
man there. When Lillian was 10 years old
she went to be educated to the convent of
the Sisters of the Sacred Heart. Here she
remained until she was sweet 16, when she
left to devote her whole time to the cuItiva-
ton of her voice. She-has- been
in Europe and sung there, where
she met high praise. She was
once member of the choir of st. Johns
Episcopal church in Chicago. She has
sung Hebe in ''Pinafore'' and has taken
leading part in ''Evangeline' and 'Con-
rad the Corsair." She created the charac-
ter of the Snake-C -Charmer in the opera of
that name. She can command a salary of
$500 week and she once drew 50. 900 as
her share of three weeks engagement in
Patience" Thursday night and Saturday
matinee she will sing in ''Billee Taylor" :"
and Friday night, Christmas matinee and
Saturday night she will sing Polly"

The musical feature Of the week at St.
Paul and Minneapolis will of course be the
Nevada concert. So rarely does such all
event occur in these remote cities that our

themselves of the opportunity. Nevada is

A New Committee.

The Irish National league held meeting
last evening. with President Tim Reardon
in the chair. AS soon as the usual prelimi-
nary matters were disposed Of Mr. j.. G.
Donnelly took the opportunity to read a
kind OF lecture to the members. He broke
at once into the middle of his subject and
declared that the members come together
every Saturday night and talk and go home,
all of which amounts to nothing. What
was wanted was money. not talk. We talk
too much and do too little. Some time ago
committee was appointed to collect money
and 1t had done nothing. What was needed
was small committee of energetic men
that would prepare list of men that would
be likely to contribute. and then parcel out
these men to different members of the
committee and each member see certain
number of gentlemen and solicit subscrip-
tions. The meeting agreed that Mr.. DON
nelly's criticisms were suitable to the case
and were true. They agreed with him as
to the committee and what it should do
The result was that the meeting discharged
the old committee and appointed new one
consisting of Messrs. Calvin, Donnelly,
Kavanagh, Reardon, McAllister and Breen
to solicit subscriptions to the fund, and it
is expected of this committee that the MEM
bers will 90 to work in earnest and collect
money for the great cause. The only other
business transacted was the appointment OF
Bishop Ireland and Father Stanley to at
tend the meeting to be held at Chicago on
the goth Of January.

had started, while George Thompson
brought up the rear. Only about thirty

their musical and literary efforts to the en-
tertainment of the club. The next business
meeting will be held Wednesday evening
The next run will occur next Saturday
night, and coffee and lunch will be served

pieces requiring the display of the lower

sieged after the performance by myriads,

glimpse of the young women as they
emerged from the stage door. I can

these theaters there was stationed at the
door policeman to keep the people moving
and to prevent crowd from collecting.
How different it all is now. Why. with
the exception of an occasional masher or

The philadelphia Aims House Fire.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. l3.-The fire OF
last night ut the Aims House entirely de-
stroyed that portion of the institution set
apart for the insane. Of the 6S4 lunatics
confined there many are missing, but it is
thought most of them have wandered away.
At nine o'clock this morning two more
charred bodies were found in ward 9. They
had been roasted beyond all recognition.
Several human forms can be seen in the
burning wreck in the cellar. It is now
thought that twenty eight of the inmates
persisted. That number of violent patients
were locked in cells on the third floor and
could not be reached Eight Of them have
been taken out dead and the others have
not been accounted for. There seems no
doubt that they are lost and that their re.
mains are among The ruins. During the
night many insane persons were found
wandering in different parts of the city,
some Of them nearly naked.
