AMUSEMENT NOTES.

"Bunch of Keys" resembles butter.
1t doesn't improve with age. 1t is a
good play to laugh at once, but like
buckwheat cakes. is not good for the
second handling. The performance by
the Edwin Sparks company is as good
as the average. Marietta Nash con-
tlnueS to impart good deal of vivacity
to the character of Teddy. She still
dances well, but her voice is broken.
The Young Grimes of the old Bunch
OF Keys" has grown up to be man. and
is too large and lubberly for a
bell boy. Ada Bothner's singing is one
redeeming feature in the performance.
The other parts are sustained about as
well as such threadbare jingle of nom
sense could be held together. The au-
dlence sized up quite we'll.

Ghost, who would reprove the world
of righteousness. You cannot be
Christian and conform to the world.
The Holy Ghost is here to quicken you
in your efforts to become Christians.
Don't you pick out somebody that
doesn't adorn the church to sway you
as to your knowledge of the eternal
verities. Pick out somebody you know
is true.
''He will convict the world of judg-
ment, not of the judgment to come, but
that already past. Every man who is
living in sin knows there will be a time
of reckoning for him in the future.
You're led captive by the devil.
Satan is reigning in the hearts and
minds of the people. The Son of God
redeemed you and brought you back
from sin and death and hell. You're
not your own; Satan rules you. The
Holy Ghost has come to convict you of
the Judgment that you belong to God"

Corners.
AT the meeting of the chamber of
commerce yesterday morning the COM
mittee on manufacturers was requested
to examine and report upon the smoke
consuming appliance in use at the power
house of the cable line. The PROPOSE
tion of Mr.. Van SIyke in regard to en-
larging Seven corners, by securing to
the city the triangular corner formed
by the junction of Third and Fourth
streets. was disposed of by the adoption
of the report of the committee against
it. The committee says that eXcava-
ton for building at that point has
been made and contracts entered into
for the building itself, which prevents
anything being done to secure the
ground. The following preamble and
resolution was adopted
Whereas, BY the death Of the original
holders the perpetual memberships OF
the late w. \. Culbertson, w. +. David
son, Conrad GotZian, Herman Greve
and Springer Harbaugh have become
vacant; and,
Whereas, The said memberships, un-
der the bylaws of this corporation, are
transferable to the persons duly entitled
thereto respectively by assignment or
bequest, upon the surrender of the
original certificates, with evidence of
such assignment or bequest; therefore,
Resolved, That the persons so entitled
are invited and requested to present
said certificates and evidence to the
president and secretary, who shall
thereup0n cancel said certificates and
issue new ones as provided by the by
laws.
The chamber voted to oppose the bill
now before congress in favor of confin-
ing the sale of the goods, wares and
merchandise manufactured by convict
labor to the state in which they are pro-
duced.
The committee to whom was referred
the matter of establishing linen factory
in st. Paul reported that such an enter
prise would not only be successful. but
would pay large profits to investors,
owing chiefly to the abundance of flax
that can be raised so cheaply in this
country, and the report was adopted.

returned yesterday from Hastings,
whittier he went ON Wednesday last to
examine the offices of Dakota county.
They certainly have very pretty
set of offices there" Mr. West said,
land things seemed to be moving along
smoothly. They think they have the
best arranged and most .methodical
offices OF any county in the state.''
"How are the Insurance cases pro-
gressing?" asked the GLOBE reporter of
Insurance Commissioner Shandrew yes
terday.
I'VE should have report by Wednes-
day." he replied. II think we will get
a Judgment, but the question arises
whether or not it will be good for any
thing. 1t is provided, however, that a
Judgment may be transferred to the
state in which the companies were Or
ganized and sued upon there.
There is case in the United
States supreme court bearing upon
this case. The question of the legality
of service or process against unautho-
rlZed companies, that is, the question of
their doing business without having first
complied with the laws, was argued be-
fore the United States supreme court III
February, 1887. The decision was ex-
pected in October last, but was delayed,
and is now expected any time during
the month Of May. A good deal hinges
Oh that decision, in fact the whole mat
ter hinges on it. 1t looks as though the
decision might be favorable to the state,
from the fact that it is a we'll settled
point with the supreme court that any
state has right to prescribe upon what
conditions a foreign corporation may do
business within its territory"
