Ny Life, JanassoheL's Great Dram

Ny Life, Janaaschek's Great Dramr.
In beholding the dual impersonstIous of
Madame Janauschek in her play Of ''My
Life" at the Grand last night, one might
well be pardoned for the reflection that be-
fore him as an entity, breathing the divine
FIRE of passion, stood the genius Of the drama,
kidding the enchanted scene with her grand
and classic presence. Tnere was that quality
or mood In her performance which people
are pleased to call genius; this power to en-
thrall the minds aud hearts Of an audience
was manifested in a score OF different ways
sometimes it was the simple pose of the fig
simple gesture or wave Of the
hand, tue infection or pitch
OF the voice; and in speaking Of the voice,
how few artists appear TO appreciate its range
or know its power OF value; Of Its wealth OF
music, or its force as weapon. 1t Is an
education In elOcution to hear Jsnauschek
manage her voice, and once heard its tones
are no mort forgotten than the grandeur Of
her majestic conception. Primary, there is
that positive quality in ner acting that ap-
peals at once to both the mind and the
heart and what is equally rare, her genius ia
dffusive in the seuse that II IL recognized,
appreciated and enjoyed by the rustic as
easily as by the man or woman of the world
or society.
The audience which greeted the perform
ance last night was quite large, but not more
than one half What IL should have been, and
the actress would not have been too highly
cOmplimeuted II every seat in the house had
been taken. The performances Is dramatic

Leland Sta nford, Jr., died recently In San
Fra ucisco. He was a son of one of Califor-
MAS milllonalres. TIE funeral was gorg-
eous in all its appointments. and most lavish
aud costly in display. The floral decora-
tons cost S20, 900. The funeral sermon was
rather secular Grafton than a sermon. II
was pronounced by the Rev. DR.. Newman, of
New York, the court chaplain OF the Grant
regime, somewhat noted for his beiligersncy In
the Madison Avenue church. For his ora
ton DR.. Newman received a fee of $40, 900.
This IS supposed to be the largest fee ever
paid Gospel minister, for Grating over the
dun, cold ear OF death. The other trapplngs
aud adoFnmeuts Of the funeral are supposed
- have cost a sum equal n the aggregate Of
flowers and sermon. The absuriity Of this
vulgar display and wasteful extravagance is
probably without parallel on any private
funeral occasion. OF course the highly feed

CHINESE EMIGR4rrOH

A loophole has been found whereby the
prosecuted Monaghan race can land on the
Pacific coast The restrictive legislation
does not appear as effective as It was ex
pected to be, and the futile barriers are over
leaped or passed through. TIE San Fran
cisco Ata-Californian says by the last steam
er from China there came one Wong Tung
Chung, who protested to be a merchant of
San Francisco, which assertion was backed
up by a certificate to that effect from the
Chinese consulate of the city, but the Mon
golian did not have Il custom house certif-
cate as the law requires. Collector Sears
refused to allow Chuna to land or his papers
and the attorney Of the Chinaman tele-
graphed to Washington con corning the
matter. In answer, Mr.. Sears received
telegram from Secretary McCulloch in
structing him to land any Chinese, other
than laborers, who come here aud give salts
factory proof Of having been in this country

tary looks like practical opening of the
country, as they are only required

THE SPOfLS PARTr.

The Republican party of to-day Is not the
party OF Lincoln, Seward and Chase. That
party, in spirit and in honest purpose and
sentiment went out with the death OF Mr..
Lincoln. On the coming In Of Grant, mex
perienced and unstatesman-like as be was,
he fell into bad hands, was lily advised, and
the Republican party commenced its deca-
dence by becoming the spois party, and has
been growing worse aud more INSCRIPTIONS
aud corrupt ever since, until to-day IL stands
as the colossal exponent OF the pIratical shib-
boleth, ''to the victors belong the spells !"
Innumerable officials who owe their posi-
lions to machine politics, and are the obse-
Quious satraps Of the Bosses, have .bssely
prosttuted their official positions 10 partisan
ends. The civil service law, not only will
not inure to the benefit of such, but its spirit
will demand their conditional, prompt re-
moyal; SO that the healthy political apo
thegm, ''turn the raseals out" will apply
TO them with all its feryor and appropriate
ness A reform Administration will have
no insuperabe barriers preventing the full

for partisan ends, to pcrpetuate
its official life. The government in Repub-
lican hands has been accommodating its cor

requiring the strength and courage OF Hercu-
les to cleanse them, by turning through them
the tabled rivers OF Aepheus and Peneus to

litical Hercules, brave and undauuted Is re-
quircd to cleanse the Republican partisan
purIieus Of their accumulated false official
action, broken trusts, hitherto concealed
entertainments, aud rottenness, a work that
cannot be done In a day, as Hercules did
his Evolutionary job, but will require time,
and the cooperative fidelity Of the people. A
reform governments must do all this to bring
back official action to its pristine honesty and
purity, and give the country once more u
government, for, OF, and by the people. in
stead Of 3 dynasty run by selfish officials for
their own aggrandzement, regardless Of the
peoples welfare and the coHutry's honor.

The T,ca,n-Cabie READINGS.

OF this highly entertaining performance to
be given at Market hall tonight, Boston
exchange says:
A remarkable entertainment was given In
Music hall last evening by Mark Twain and
George W. Cable before a large audience.
The programme consisted of readings from
the works of the two authors, given alter
nately, and with an effect that was very strik-
ing and entertaining. The contrast between
the men and their styles, both as readers and
as writers. was very marked, and evidently i'm
pressed itself strongly on the audience. MIR.
Cables selections were 'sRichling's Visit to
Kate Riley" ''Kate Riley and Ristofolo,"
"Narcisse in Mourning for Lady Byron"
and ''Mary's Night Ride" in which were de-
liciousy commingled poetry, sentiment, pa
thos aud delicate touches of humor, with a
plaintive song charmingly rendered. The
reading was in perfect keeping with the text,
bright and sympathetic. Mr.. Twain read
liking Solier num-" ''Tragic Tale of the
Fish Wife, "a Trying Situation" and "a
Ghost Story" all superby drol and out
rageously extravagant, dealing in the wild
est flights of hyperbole. The reader empha-
sized the ludicruus situations of the writer
by repeating his story in dry, earnest
manner, as though he really believed it aud
expected his hearers to. Both readers were
frequently applauded and responded to
encores.

MYERS & FINCH ROBBERY.
Description of the Manner Adopted
and its Narrow Chance Of

In one Of the cells at city hall there re-
| clined last night young mau named George
Hoster, who was arrested by Detective john
O'Connor yesterday afternoon on the charge
of robbing the we'll known jewelry store of
Myers 81 Finch, of West Third street. To
premise, the story of the affair is simply
| another case of once respected and very in
telligent young man gone wrong. Holster is
| about thirty-twO years Of age, fashionably
dressed, with brown eyes aud handsome
moustache, his appearance being at once in
telligent and prepossessing.
few years ago he was left a conside able
sum of money by his father, which it is sur
missed he lost in speculation in New York,
his former home. Last spring he removed
TO st. Paul, having, 1t is understood, been in
business for short time in Detroit. He
brought with him his wife and one child aud
rented cottage at No. $40 Canada street,
which he fitted up in elegant and almost
sumptuous style. 1t is said that
he brought letters Of introduction 10
several well known residents of st. Paul
aud by this means he and his accomplished
wife gained the entree to society. During
the summer he became acquainted with
both Mr. Myers and Mr.. Finch, and afriend-
ship sprung up, the imposition being that
he was man Of extensive means.
They became so well acquainted that Hos
ter was welcomed to the store, and after a
while he had access TO the jewelrv cases. AS the
sequel shows, the confidence put In him was
| misplaced, the temptation being too much
for him, and he was prompted to steal.
From time TO time, it is thought that he has
been flching jewelry for the past three or
four months, his plan being to steal watch,
diamond stud or ring, chains, charms, etc.,
when the opportunity was presented. So
skillfuIly did he manage his little game, that
the firm in question were not aware of what
was going on until informed by Detective
0'Connor, who produced the man and the
evidence on yesterday.
On being questioned Hoster made a clean
breast Of the affair, and while he appeared
sorry, he took the arrest with a display Of
unequalled nerve and GOODNESS, and en-
ployed the legal services of Mr.. W. d. Cor
nish. After committing the thefts he
pawned the articles at stores In st. Paul and
Minneapolis. The full extent of his steal
Iugs is not yet known, and
they may aggregate only $500,
this amount. Some Of the goods have been
recovered, and as he furnished a list OF the
articles taken the firm hope 10 regain a ma
jority Of the articles. On being questioned
Messrs. Myer IL Finch refused to say any
thing about the affair at present. Detective
UConnor is entitled to great credit for the
shrewd way In which he worked up the case.
The wife aud child Of Hoster are now in the

THE following additional items of interest
are given In regard to Mrs. Myra Clark
Gaines, just diseased. 1t is said her great
law suit will go on just the same as before
her death. Her son-in-law, Mr.. Christmas,
who was with her when the will was signed,
will push the suit. He seems to have been
a great favorite with the little queer old wo-
man. When he quarrelled with her own
son, and killed him in her own house, she
did not cast him off, but seemed anxious for
his acquittal, sitting..by his side in the court
room and counselling in his behalf. She
was pretty good lawyer, was this woman.
She had been at law half century, and had
herself followed every step in her famous
case-or, rather, large number of cases.
Belva Lockwood cites her as being the first
woman in this country to argue case in
court. Years ago she had some important
case in court, and her lawyer falling to
appear at the proper moment, she took the
matter iu her own hands, and made strong
and concise legal argument in her own
behalf
