The Grand,
red his entire re-

T. W. Keene has played his entire re-
pertoire in ST. Paul during the last week.
and the audiences. while never what they
should have been in point of numbers, were
highly and intelligently appreciative. Too
much cannot be said of the elegance of the
scenery which Mr.. Keene carries with him.
For each play he has from fifteen to twenty
five different sets, using none of the stock
scenery of the house. 1t is all carefully
painted, and we are assured is histori-
cally accurate in design and color, which
adds much to the interest of the pro-
auctions.
The coming week at this house will be-
gin with Haverly's Ministries, which needs
no commentator to those who like this
kind of entertainment 1t is said to be bet
ter than ever before, with various new feat
ures Special attention is paid to the
music, which is stated to be far above any
thing ever attempted before by minstrel
company, and the burlesque on the
''Mikado'' will no doubt be richly enjoyed
by those who have seen the original. The
great attraction, as last year, is the Cragg
family, whose feats of tumbling are remem-
bered as being unequaled.
"Alone in London, or a Woman Against
the World - by Robert Buchanan, will fol-
low, which introduces as star Cora S..
Tanner, who acts Annie Meadows, about
whom clusters the interest of the story.
Miss Tanner is spoken of as young. beau
tiful and gifted with dramatic talent of high
order. Concerning the play, critics have COM
mended it as piece full of moving Incl
dents such as appeal to the popular sympa-
thy. The moral atmosphere of the play is
spoken of as pure and the piece as one
which. without attempt to secure applause
by novel methods teaches a good lesson in
a wholesome and impressive fashion. The
piece has been having almost unprecedented
success in the larger cities, which it should

is an entirely new feature in museums, and,

ssNo; l never studied it at all, but you
can't help noticing that different men have
different ways. I've seen that matchbox
emptied about once or twice day every
day for two or three years, and though the

large proportion OF the matches are
scratched within ten feet Of the desk. after

different ways people light them and if one

showing how men with different shaped
heads, or of certain build, light their
lucifers."
While he was talking large. heavily
built man, with red face, approached the
desk with cigar that had been half smoked
in his mouth. He took match leisurely
from the box and walked to the nearest
chair.
''I'll go you quarter that man will light
his match on his trousers. He's just the
kind, and don't remember ever having seen
him light one in my life" The bet was
not taken. as the clerk and his listener

to light one now l would bet the same way
again." was the response.
