DRAMATIC DOINGS.
Last Week and This at the Grand--
An Event at Harmonic.

With this dramatic season at the Grand,
the noblest efforts of Manager Conklin, like
those of time are his last. The season is
rapidly drawing to its close and fine attrac-
lions are being rushed in one after another,
without break OF lapse. In his efforts to
please the Minneapolis public, Manager
Conl1lin has been singularly successful and
receives the commentator he deserves. At
a recent meeting Of the Minneapolis syndi-
cate it was shown the Grand had paid hand
S0mely and the management was COM
mended.
Last week brought two well-contrasted
plays at the Grand and each was well pat
ronized. The Bunch of Keys drew four
large houses and set the doctors back a
week by its fun. Fanny Davenport closed
her engagement last night. after four highly
successful presentations of Fedora"
Nothing this season has pleased more peo-
pie or done better business withal
This week will be an equally good one.
The McCaull Opera Comique company,
which will fill the first half, is too well
known, the country over, to require an in
PRODUCTION to the Minneapolis public.
''Falka" and ''Prince Methusalem" are
both charming, sparkling operas and each,
in turn, pleased the New York people at
the Casino. Minneapolis is too fond of
good music to neglect the opportunity to
hear it. LA Belle Rhea" will occupy the
latter half of the week, giving four per-
formances, with as many changes Of bill.
The plays are as follows: Arcadia"
''Power Of Love-" Camille and ''Ameri-
can Countess"
A HARMONIC EVENT.
Tonight, at Harmonic hall, the cele-
brated Magda Irschick will appear as Me-
dea, in the powerful drama of the same
name. She will be assisted by MI. and
Mrs. Koch-ROpenach of Milwaukee Count
ess Serenyi of st. Paul and other talent.
When ''Medea" was given in st. Paul it
provoked the warrnest encomiums, and crit
les pronounced it something far beyond the
ordinary. Minneapolis people will I'M
doubtedly well patronize it.

''Well, about $500 per year."

The advice was declared to be sound,
and in the course of two or three days the
minister was notified that his salary would
be reduced to the figures named. When
Sunday came ne read the notice from the
pulpit, and added:

THE PRESENT PLAN
To Provide Food and Lodging for
Neyvsboys and ROofbBncEs


NeyvsbOys and BOofbIacks.
R. NJ. S. Pease is very deeply interested,
with others, in the plan of establishing a
newsboys' and bootblacks' home, on the
plan of the several now in operation in New
York and other large cities. The license
tax collected from the boys goes for this
purpose, but as it will be entirely insuffi-
cient, other and additional means must be
resorted to. Mr.. Pease said to the writer,
yesterday: I'VE propose to take SO sub
scrlptlonS and pay interest on them. There
are many who will subscribe when they
understand they will get in
tereSt, who would not otherwise
do it. The plan is that of joint stock
company. Those interested in working up
the nome have arranged a scheme by which
those boys not able to raise the amount may
get their license. Mayor Pillsbury and
MI. Pease have paid for the licenses and
procured the badges. The boys pay 10
cents day until the full amount is
paid up.
Next Thursday afternoon meeting will
be held at Plymouth church to discuss the
plans Of home. Mayor Pillsbury, r. NJ.
5. Pease, E. H. Moulton, Mrs. II. r. FAIR
and Mrs. c. A. Hatch constitute the first
board OF trustees, and the management
is in their hands. While no definite
plans have been formulated, the idea is to
have suitable quarters for the homeless
Arabs, where supper, bed and breakfast
may be provided at a price within the means
of the boys. There will be kits and lock-
ers for the REGULARS" with numbers cor
responding with their license numbers, and
it has been suggested 25 cents be charged
for supper, lodging and breakfast. While
it is believed there will be enough money
subscribed to warrant immediate steps, the
trustees hope some benevolent person may
donate the use of storerO0m sufficiently
large for present purposes.

HEALTH PRECAUTIONS.
why Doctors Seldom Catch Disease.
Suggestions to Everybody.

From CaSsell'S Magazine.
''Some men," remarked Capt. Horton,
s'can move in the midst of pestilence and
miasmata and never seem any the worse.
How, for instance, do you doctors defend
your fortress?"
''I'm glad you asked the question. We
defend the fortress first by using ordinary
precautions. We will not, if possible,
breathe more infected air than we can help.
We will not be stupidity rash. Depend
upon it, my friend that when DR.. Aber-
nethy kicked his foot through the pane of
glass in his patients room, because he
couldn't get him to have his window down,
the excellent physician was thinking as
much about his own safety as that of his
patient. Secondly, physicians know that
they must live by rule when attending
cases during pestilence. The body must
be kept up to the healthy standard. In
times of epidemic let every one see to him
self. attend to every rule of health, live
regularly and keep the stomach most care
fully in order and be abstinent. There is
no other way of defending the fortress of
life against invisible foes"
''This living according to rule" said my
to have to add. At least I am sure most
people find it So"
''Few people,"I replied, "think of do
ing anything of the sort until actual danger
of life stares them in the face. Some one
else, believe, has made remark similar
to this before now, but it is worthy of be-
ing repeated"
s'And it is true" added Horton. ST
have been thinking good deal lately"
''Most people who are laid low do
think" said.
81 have been thinking" said my friend,
''that most of us err by eating more than is
necessary"
''How very true that is, Horton! Why,
in careful regulation Of diet-a diet that
should incline to the abstemious-we have
one of the best defenses against invisible
foes of all kinds. This is one of our posts,
and should be held at all risks, if we care
for life at all-and not for life only, but
comfort while we do exist. 1t is fact
which all should bear in mind, that over
eating not only corrupts the blood, but
destroys nervous energy"

REAL ESTATE REVIEW.
The New Union Depot Will Not
DOWn--ImpOrtant Building
PrnSmacfS.

The real estate market during the past
week has undergone very little change. No
new schemes have been sprung of startling
magnitude, and the deals made, while rep
resenting considerable amounts, have not
been of much public Importance
1t should not be understood
that the market is weakening
in the least. On the contrary the prices
have stifened perceptibly. A prominent
dealer said yesterday that the advance was
quite general, and in some instances very
marked. For instance, one piece of
property offered two months ago for $50, 900
cannot be bought to-day for $62, 600.
''There is plenty of money, too" said the
same dealer, 1.-The other day showed the
property, made the sale, and received the
money, $4,000, all within two hours.
THE NEW UNION DEPOT
still continues to be the main subject of
discussion. Those who have an insight
into some of the movements of the railroad
companies interested say that while the
depot may not be built at once, it is assured
at some. time in the near future. The build
ing of the bridge by the Northern Pacific is
certain, the plans being already drawn,
and the erection of depot will follow in
the natural course of events. The Illinois
Central the Wisconsin Central, the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, the Minneap-
oils & ST. Louis, Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul and the ST..
Paul &c Northern are all interested
in acquiring depot facilities and being on
friendly terms with each other it is much
more reasonable to presume that they will
combine for this purpose than to suppose
that they mean to bare their necks to the
Manitoba. From an economical point OF
view the depot would prove a paying in
vestment, Judging from the fact the Mime
apolis & ST. Louis road during the last
month paid over 5000 tolls for entering
the union depot The recent purchases, here
tofore mentioned, in the vicinity of the hay
market and on the East side all point I'M
mistakably to the intentions of the railroads,
and in due time the correctness of the ru-
morS which are now so vehemently denied
by interested railroad officials and inter-
eSted newspapers will be shown.
THE REALTY RECORD.
The considerations Of the deeds last week
exceeded the $500, 900 average somewhat.
The transfers as a rule involved amounts
rarely exceeding So 900, and there were
big sales to swell the totals. The follow
ing is the record for the week:

GA POUND OF FLESH"
Another Suit Which Reveals the
Methods of Money Eoaners.

Another Suit Which Reveals the
Methods Of Money Eoaners.
Another action was yesterday commenced
in the district court against Frank Mackey,
the money loaner, to prevent his foreclosing
a chattel mortgage and to annul the same
upon the ground that an usurious rate of
interest has been charged for the loans for
which it was given as security. The plain
tiff is W. l.. Kilbourn, who states in his
complaint that April 3, 1888, he borrowed
of F. j. Mackey 1925 for thirty days, CIV
ing his note for $131.2 5 with interest at 10
per cent. per annum, secured by chattel
mortgage to E. r. Mackey. When this
note fell due June 1 the plaintiff alleges he
paid 1928 for a renewal for thirty days in
addition to the yearly interest at 10 per
cent. On the first of each succeeding
month, to and including April, he has paid
this same bonus, aggregating S143, no part
of which has been applied on the principal
or interest
The complaint further alleges that
Mackey advertises widely for the purpose
of taking advantage of needy persons, and
has system of securing from them by ex-
tOrtion sums of money exceeding $40 on
the 500 loaned; that he makes pretense
that he is only acting as agent for E. r.
Mackey, who is not resident of this state
and that the bonuses given for renewals Of

nounces the blowing from a gun of the

The Imam-i-Juma takes his leave. The
prince yawns, carelessly saying: ''The one
dog is gone at last; bring the other four"
No sooner said than done. Two fine
Dutch mastiffs Of tawny hue are led into
the courtyard, as well as two small three
quarter-bred bulldogs. They are loosed
at the Princes order, and career wildly
about the courtyard. The prince feeds
them with sugar, as he breakfasts in soli-
tary state. Unlike most Persians, he does
not smoke. Then he plays perhaps game
or two of chess OF which he is very fond
good player, too, though etiquette, of
course, does not allow him to be beaten.
Then he sallies forth to ride, and once in
the saddle the Zil-es-Sultan is happy. He
rides wildly but well. He shouts, he smiles,
he is in the best Of tempers. Perhaps he
dismounts to shoot at mark. Being a fine
shot, he is fond of displaying his prowess;
he will break bottles, he will hit oranges,
eggs and halfpence flying; he seldom even
misses koran, silver coin little bigger
than sixpence, when flung into the air,
and all with bullet from fOwling- piece.
The days of his youth are Over-the wild
youth of favored Eastern prince. Married
to the wealthy daughter of former prime
minister of Persia (who was strangled by
order of the present Shah), the prince was
left widower about five years ago. His
son, the Jalal-u-Dowleh, is promising
youth of Is, and the nominal governor OF
Shirax under his father. The prince has
several daughters. He dimes about s, still
alone, and at 9 generally retires to his
harem, where we cannot follow him even
with our invisible cap

a governor in Persia has need to be, I'M

many virtues and few foibles, such is the

BUILDING.
The past week has been notable one in
this branch of the progress of Minneapolis
as having developed several import
ant building projects, which have
been kept from the public for
some time The building of a Masonic
temple to cost half million of dollars;
the awarding of the contract for the cree
ton of the Washburn orphan asylum build
ing to cost S65, 600; the adoption of the
plans for the new city wOrkhOuse; and the
Herrick-Lowry block On the academy of
music site to cost 500, 0O0-au these inn
pOrtant enterprises have come out into the
light during the past week one after the
other, and the details made known for the
first time.
Most of the other public buildings of i'm
portance to be built this year have been
mentioned fully heretofore, and visit to
the leading architects develop nothing new,
although there are any number OF hand
some residences costing all the way from
SIS, coo to $1,000 and a number of business
blocks. Now that spring is really here
work has begun and the plans which have
only been talked about are being carried
out.
The building permits issued last week
fall a little below the average. The follow
