r. C. Duff,s Comic opera Company
All This week "A Sparkling
Repertoire With a Brilliant Cast.
Last week was an ''off week" in theatre
cal matters. John I. Raymond had two
excellent plays but somehow they didn't
draw as their merits deserved. Raymond
is superior comedian and had the best all
around company that has been here this
season. But it seems that the public taste
prefers Hoyt'S groteSque comedy. or COM
edy as it is interpreted by the Lolita school,
to the more refined rendition of it of the
Raymond type. The latter part of the
week Kellar. the conjurer, gave his Jug
Cling performances at the Grand. He was
something of disappointment and did not
draw well. His tricks were cleverly
enough done but some of them were so old
that they had whiskers on them. In fact,
| there was very little in his performance
| that had not been seen before and some of
it more skillfully done than by Kellar. The
failure to produce the vanishing lady"
trick, according to advertisement. told
heavily against the show. The way the
public looks at it is that if Snowman fails
to do what he advertises, and which his
audience have paid their money to see, he
is regarded as humbug.
DUFF's OPERA COMPANY.
This week the st. Paul theater-going pub
| lie will be treated to style of theatrical
performance that they delight in. Nothing
catches so well among cultivated people as
| light opera, and j. G. Duff is known to
have one of the best comic opera companies
| in the country. This season he has an
unusually strong cast. The fact that Yer
ona Jarbeau, Zelda Seguin, Lillian Russell,
Mile. Lucette. j. II. Ryley and Frank Bou-
dnot are included in the cast is sufficient
guarantee of the first-class qualities OF the
organization. The engagement will last the
entire week, and the repertoire includes
three of the best light operas. ''Iolanthe,"
The Mikado" and "a Trip to Africa. :"
The opening bill Monday night is ''Iolan-

Prince Rismarck's Bell.

ST. James Gazette.
A new additian to the encyclo padica
mass of ''Bismarckiana" appears in a Ger
man contemporary. When the young dip
lomatist was employed at Frankfort he was
lodged in the house of an old patrician who
had no love for the PrussianS. Bismarck
found that he had no bell in his room, and
had to go to the door to call his servant
whenever he wanted him. He pointed this
out to the host, and courteously asked to be
provided with a hand-bell. The Frank
forter replied, little brusquely, that when
his guests wanted bells they usually pro-
vided them at their own cost. At late
hour in the night the sound of pistol-shot
rang through the house. The master hur-
ried from room to room in great fright, and
came at last to Bismarck's apartment,
where he saw the pistol lying on the table
still smoking, and the young diplomatist,
also quietly smoking, behind heap of pa
pers. DO not be alarmed" said he, ''it is
only the signal agreed upon between me
and my servant. 1t does quite as we'll as a
bell, and you will soon get accustomed to
the sound" Early the next day Bismarck
found hand-bell upon his workable.

THE WINTER CARNIVAL.

The Season approaches Apace, and
Clubs Are Already Selecting Their
Uniforms.
OF the many hundred uniforms worn last
winter during the carnival no one was COM
plete without the handiwork of the st.
Paul Knitting Works being traced through
out. Thus early in the season orders have
been received from out Of town clubs by
this house, which speaks well for the COM
ing winter sports. A word Of advice,
however, is necessary to parties contem-
plating joining clubs, or those organizing
the same. and that is: Get your orders in
early, thus avoiding the rush, at the same
time giving better satisfaction to all con-
cerned. The st. Paul Knitting Works are
now in better condition than ever to supply
its large and increasing trade, while they
will continue to merit the high esteem in
which their goods are held by consumers.
Everything in the line of underwear.
hosiery. lumbermen's goods, silk mittens
and German socks is constantly being man
ufactured, while the machinery is taxed to
its fullest extent Mail orders will receive
prompt attention, and all information per-
tanning to their business will be cheerfnlly
given upon application by letter or in per-
son at Nos. 222 and 224 East Fourth street.

But to return to the subject. l was never
so fOrcibly struck with the idea that this is

You see William Jerry Calhoun Kenyon,
general passenger agent OF the Chicago,
Burlington q Northern railroad. requested
me to take a position as first class ballast on
q train that he was going to run to Chicago
from st. Paul in twelve hours. Four hun

mine. of course l couldn't refuse to help
him keep his train on the track. so l was

tlemen in the party. among whom were
Mike McChaddck, Patrick Roche and
Teddy ODixon, ali prominent home rulers, 4
their wives being on visit among relatives.
There was a sleeper on the train. SO | was
told by Jerry, but he was no such sleeper
as your mother is; at least he didn't snOre

that your mother couldn't put in 442 miles
of sleep without discharging large quanti-
ties of snore. We pulled out of st. Paul at

THE POISON HEMLOCK.

She wove crown of reddish stem;
Leaves long and slender
Hid her white brow, and their green hem
Waved cool and tender.
She wore this crown for men to see
She was no longer fancy free.
Forthwith she paced in early morn
The highway over.
She kissed the hemlock she had torn
From near the clover.
Men knew all by the crown she wore
Her maiden heart was hers no more.
On came her love; she sighed vow
Unless he kissed her
She'd tear the crown from of her brow.
Odd fatel He missed her.
Took she the wreath from its high place,
And passed him by with unmoved face.
She broke each leaf from her live crown
OF red spurge glowing.
A fluid white as milk ran down;
She slipped it knowing
That when she died all men would tell
How deep the love for which she fell.

over broad river, 1 asked Jerry if he
hadn't better send somebody out to kill Off
the engineer. He said 'twould be good
idea and l might go out and do it any time
l felt that way. l Immediately rose and
reached for the axe back of the stove, but
the car slipped out from under me and
the rear end of the car caught up
with me just as reached the coal box. |
yelled to Jerry to take the coal box off
from me, but we were moving so rapidly
that nobody heard me but the brakeman on
the rear car and he afterwards told me that
he would have come to my assistance but
the train was going so much faster than he
could walk he knew he couldn't reach me
before we got to Chicago. By catching
hold of the window frames and seats |
managed TO work my way back to where
Jerry was, and as | fell into the seat be-
side him l suggested that he telephone up
and see if the wind hadn't blown the engi-
neer off the locomotive. He told me to
mind my own business and | called him
liar. The fact was, we were going so fast
that l would no sooner think thought
than we would be mile or two away from
it, consequently man couldn't keep track
of what he was saying. Roche and
O'Dixon were still seated on McChaddick
and their tears were dripping down on him
with dull, heavy drip, but he didn't make
any audible observations. 1t caused him
tess trouble to keep his position where he
was than it would if he had been COM
PEELED to stand guard over himself. as the
rest of us were.
We ran into Chicago about $50 p. m.
You would naturally think that to run
into anything at the rate we were
going would have produced some shrieks
and yellS of the dying. but the citizens of
Chicago gave no indication that they were
the least bit ratified, and stranger, to have
looked at the people wouldn't have sus-
pected that we were there. We made the
run from st. Paul to Chicago in eleven
hours and ten minutes, the quickest time in
which the same number of miles were ever
covered on Northwestern road, and I had
to go down on Water street to windmill
and have myself tiled up with fresh breath.
Jerry had an unframed look about him
when the train stopped. There were only
