1T PLEASED THE CROWD.
Local Celebrities 'Do a Turn" a
Ed Hilton's Benefit.

Local Celebrities "Do Turn" at
Ed Hilton's Benefit.
Politicians, merchants, the sporting fra
ternity. hundreds in all, representative
of the various classes that 90 to make up
popular mans clientele of friends, ell
bowed each other last night in the vain
attempt to find vacant seat in the
Olympic. The occasion was Man
ager Edwin p. Hilton's annual
benefit, and the admiXture of pro-
fesSional and amateur talent that
came forward in the generally eX'
celleDt and varied programme, was rec
ompenSe to those who evidenced their
appreciation of the genial manager in
being present. Standing room even
was at primium, and the beat of the
box Office pulse indicated that in pc
cuniary sense as well was the benefit a
success. The earnest efforts OF
the professionals who came
forward gave vim to
the entertainment that effectually
smoothed the crude offerings of the am
ateurs, and rendered highly interesting
a performance that would otherwise
have failed to please a gathering made
up of so many elements as that OF last
evening.
The entertainment opened with Billy
Wells comedy, Artists Models"
which gave evident satisfaction, and
was followed by Ray Irwin, one of
the army of volunteers in vocal
selections that were well received.
James Wells, stage manager of the
COmiQue. Minneapolis, gave an exhibit
elected hearty and we'll merited ap-
plause, and Prof. John H. Clark showed
that he was an expert ritleman as well
as pugilist of note. Frank W. Lee, of
the Daily News, sang song that was
replete with references to local celeb
rites, and SandlandS and Ruthven in
their StatueSque posingS were equally
good. Hoyt and MarjeSOn in a musical
speciality, Sandford and Williams in Il
funny knOckabout turn. aud Lille Bill
lington in male imperSonationS led
to the appearance of Johu
+. Sherry, banjoist, and Fiskey
Barnett, who gave couple of vocal Sc
lectiOns that were somewhat marred by
the Indifferent orchestral accompani-
ment. Pat Killen and Prof. John T.
Clark closed the regular performance
with dancing contest. Both were ap-
plauded to the echo and the referee de-
clared it a draw. AT this juncture some
one in the wings threw a set of boxing
gloves at the feet of the two dancers,
and there was promise of sparring eX-
hibitiOn when Manager Hilton said that
the difference in the weights of the pair
would of itself preclude the pos
sibility of them sparring. The enter
tainment closed with pie eating
and boot blacking contests which
were ludicrous, if nothing else, as were
the efforts of quartette of gaminS to
of Shaw 4 Bannigan, and Billy Weston,
of Minneapolis, received prizes in a
local contest. Several of the amateurs
who appeared were recipients of elabo-
rate floral tributes from admirers in the
audience.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

Like all of his former plays Joe EN-
mett's reconstructed Fritz doesn't
amount to much as play, but there is
Just enough plot to it to give scope for
his unique specialties. Fritz's CHEEKY
face, melodious voice and graceful
movements are his captivating qualities,
and he is just as bright and supple now
as he was the first time he trod the
boards.
8aAn audience that nearly filled the
opera house greeted Fritz in his OPEN
ing performance last evening.
Mr.. Emmett's songs are ali new and of
the catchy order for which his music is
NOTED. His ''Sneider how you wasp"
with the children's march accompani-
ment, was the most taking feature Of the
performance.

CONCERTS IN THE PARKS.
Some Suggestions to the Bands
and to the Authorities.


and to the Authorities.
The open air concerts in st. Paul in
augurated by George Seibert and his
band eighteen years ago will be con-
tinued this season. The city council at
its last meeting appropriated the neceS-
sary funds for three concerts this sea-
son, taking in the third and latest mu-
steal organization, the Second Regiment
band, which will play at Central park.
While the public will welcome the i'll
crease Of public concerts, of which there
will not be too many, several people
have sent i'll a suggestion to the
bands, and urge the committee on
parks to see to it that the standard of
music played during the season is such
as to be credit to the city of st. Paul.
st. Paul has ceased to be a country
town, and during the summer there are
a good many strangers here
who listen to these concerts. The
music furnished should be of a
style, aud executed with such degree
of skill as to be suited to the musical
taste of the community. The effort to
excel should be the attempt of the three
bands employed. Music stands should
be erected for the bands and the neces-
sary lights provided. Strict hours
should be kept and good police surveil-
lance maintained. Programmes dis
tributed would add great deal to the
endowment

The Three-Cent Rate.

The 25th of April the board of ware
house and railroad commissioners issued
letter to the Northern Pacific railroad
ordering it to reduce its fares on all its
lines in Minnesota to cents per mile.
This was objected to by the Northern
Pacific people, who thought the com-
mission had no power to fix rates which
they deemed unreasonable and unjust.
The date for the reduction to take place
as set by the commissioners was MAY l.
The road did not come to time, however,
until yesterday. when an order was is

Thomas j. Sheppard, cashier in the
city ticket Office of the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Northern railroad, was sur
prised while at his work yesterday
morning by policeman who placed
him under arrest by authority of
warrant charging Sheppard with en-
bezzlement. The charge was preferred
by General Auditor Hinckler of the
Burlington road, who had discovered
that Sheppard is short in his accounts to
the amount of 81, ,11S.S7. The deficit has
not been of long standing, most of the
money having been taken within the
last three months. Sheppard was
brought before Judge Cory at once and
hearing of the case was postponed until
Monday, the judge fixing bail at $1,000.
Sheppard could not secure the necessary
bond and was committed to the county
Jail. Sheppard rs a young man, and, as
far as known, he had no bad habits
His parents are eminently respectable

From Workmen's Dinner Pals

Days.
While the street sweeping force was
at work Wednesday night,a tramp found
the tin-pails containing their lunches,
at Bridge square, and made feast for
himself. He then secured a pair of
horse blankets lying near by and re-
treated to the alley, where he crawled
into a box, rolled himself in the
blankets and went to sleep. The street
workers found their lunch gone and be-
begansa search for the marauder. They
tracked him to his lair and he was
rudely awakened and badly beaten.
Both his eyes were blackened and his
face was beaten to a jelly when IAN
officer interfered and placed him under
arrest. He gave the name of James
Dunn and in the police court Yesterday
morning was sentenced to the work

Electric LIGHTS.

Special attention is called to the de-
cision of the United States circuit court
against the Edison company, published
in another column.
Those familiar with their interesting
literature, filed with threats and an
imOsity, that have been sent broadcast
over the country, will now be relieved
from further annoyance.
The decision of this court leaves the
United States Electric Light company,
as it always has been, at the head of the
electric lighting business, and its work
and treatment of its patents needs no
comment. j. Ii. WooLsEY.

Sheppard wrote to MI. Kenyon apply
ing for a position, he was employed.
After doing some general work in the
East he was, in the early part of 1887,
called to st. Paul and given the position
of cashier in the city ticket Office.
Where the stolen money went to is a
mystery. The young man denies that
he has ever gambled or kept the COM
pany of fast women, and he does not
drink to any considerable extent.

The PeacemaIser.

A curious boat built not long ago In
New York is called the Peacemaker.
The best protection against shot from
great guns Is the water, and this tor
pedo boat dives and swlms under
water Til IL finds the enemys ship. 1t
then releases torpedo that clings TO
the ships bottom, and when the torpe-
do boat has swan far enough away the
torpedo is fired, and the great iron clad
reels and sinks under the terrible bite
Of the little herring Of boat that
dived under its keel. The Peace
maker Is entirely closed and alright,
and the crew must be shut up inside.
BY number OF curious inventions
the propeller is made TO turn by
means Of a steam engine that is sup
piled by boilers without fire or smoke,
and the men inside are supplied with
fresh air from tanks in the hold.
The boat can swim in straight line
on perfect level at any moderate
depth, and can be steered like any
boat IL can also sink or raise again
In the water while standing perfectly
still.

Cloth Mnde orGIasr.

NJ. Dubus Bonnet OF Lille, France
has invented a process Of spinning and
weaving glass into cloth. The warp is
composed of silk, forming the body
and groundwork, on which the pattern
In glass appears. as effected by the
welt. The requisite debility of glass
thread for manufacturing purposes is
to be ascribed to It's extreme fineness,
rs not less than from fifty TO sixty Of
the original threads spun by steam
engine power are required to form one
thread Of the weft. The process is
slow, for no more than a yard of cloth
can be produced In twelve hours. The
work, however, Is extremely beautiful
and comparatively cheap. A French
paper commenting on this discovery,
says: "When we figure 20 ourselves an
apartment decorated with cloth Of
glass, and resplendent with lights.
we must be convinced that II will
equal in brilliancy all that the mag
nation can conceive and realize; In n
word, the wonders OF the enchanted
palaces mentioned In the Arabian
tales"
