Large Audience Witnesses Hoyt,s
GrOIesque ssTin SOIdier.,,--OIher
Plays.
"a Tin Soldier" belongs to that class of
burlesque comedy which deserves to be seen
once, but, like a cold buckwheat cake does
not improve by being warmed over. Tho
humor is of that grotesque character which
runs through all of Hoyt's productions.
What little plot there is to the play is lost
sight of in the jungle of absurdities which
are introduced. Rats and Violet are the
lite of the play. James Powers is the rival
of Eugene Garfield in the peculiar
line of comedy they interpret, both
being materially aided by the
power of facial expression they possess.
The only really artistic representation in
the production of the play is Amy Ames'
Interpretation of the character of Violet
Hughes. which is as cleverly humorous as
it is unique. Miss Ames has good voice
and the wonder is that she does not aim to
take high part in comic opera. Miss Flora
Walsh. the girl who runs errands, Miss
Ada Eaves in the character of Patsy. Miss
Isabelle COe, the bride of six
weeks are worthy of special mention.
George Boniface. as the professor, and
Paul Arthur. the wealthy and extravagant
bridegroom have played their parts so long
as to exhibit lack of interest in them.
There is a manifest listleSsneSs and inatten
ton which rob their parts of the freshness
that the auditor expects. The heroes of
Gettysburg had better been left out of the
play entirely. They are not 1.-THE bowling
success" they claim to be, and there is
something repulSive to patriotic pride in
this gross caricature on our veterans. The
play will be repeated tonight, tomorrow

average, and the acting of Miss Jessie West
in the character of Clip is fOrcIble and her

A pieaForthe Orphans.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
If our people would visit the Protestant
orph an asylum and see the good work the
noble women are doing in caring for the poor
little orphans, they would open their purses
aud pour into the treasury until it would
overflow. Recently they have had to pay
several heavy assessments and at this time
there are several cases of scarlet fever among
the inmates necessitatng the employment Of
additional nurses, thus increasing their ex-
penses beyond their ability to pay. Let US
then open our pu rises and aid this deserving
institution and gladden. the hearts of the lady
managers By placing at their disposal funds
to meet the expenses during The coming
winter. 1t is earnestly desired that every one
who reads these lines will send to Mrs. E. T.
Drake, the treasurer, contribution, great or
small. Do not hesitate because you can send
only small sum; every cent will help. Our
people are the most liberal and generous of
any on the face of the earth and l am sure
that the orphans will not want when their
necessities are made known.

BUSINESS FOR rO-NaGHT.

Some Important Matters That
Passed the Council Committee On
Streets Last Evening.
The council committee on streets disposed
of grist of business last evening, pre-
paratOry to the regular meeting of the
council tonight. A communication was
received from John c. Devereux and five
other property owners on Sherburne avenue
protesting against the vacating of twenty
feet of that thOroughfare. between Cedar
and Rice streets. The petition asking for
the vacation of the street is signed by w.
X. Merriam and seventeen other property
owners and the effect of the vacation will
be to narrow the avenue to a uniform
width of sixty feet, the street between the
streets mentioned now being eighty feet
wide. The protest sent in by DevereuX was
largely a violent TRADE of abuse against
Aid. PetSch. Aid. SanbOrn moved that the
protest be sent back to the writer with the
explanation that the committee was ready
at any time to hear and consider protest,
but not to hear alleged charges against aid
ermen. Aid. Starkey said that he had
always understood that the person who
wrote the protest was a scholar and gen
tleman, but since reading his effuSiOn he
planned that he was always ready
and willing TO hear protests,
but that when persons forwarded
such communications as the one just
read no attention should be given
them. The petition of property owners for
a SiXty-foot street from Aurora avenue to
Wabasha street and park located in block
4,Ewing & Chute's addition, will. be reported
on favOrably and the matter sent to the
board of public works to investigate as to
the cost of such improvement. The mem
beers of the committee figured the cost at
S25. 900. which would have to be assessed
on adjoining property. The ordinance
granting the American District Telegraph
company the right to erect poles and string
wires in the streets was referred To the city
attorney with instructions to make it con-
form with ordinance of like nature and
report it to the council, The intention of
this company is to put alarm boxes con-
nected with the fire department in all of the
public schools free Of cost.
