DIALECT COMEDIANS.
Why Do They Overlook the Norsk
Jargon?

Jargon?
limitations of dialects, when cieverly
given. are Invariably funny. The MINI
les have thus far depended as gen
eral thing upon their caricatures of the
Irish, German. French and Italian
tongues to tickle the humorous fancy.
The Chinese Pigeon English has of
late years offered greater scope to this
class of funmaking, and Cockney
English, rendered by a good mimic, is
irresiStibly droll. There is another dia-
lect, however. that has thus far been
used but little, but which offers I'M
bounded resources for mimicry, and
that is the Norwegian. 1t is almost en-
tirely new to the stage, but is certainly
the funniest of'all dialects in its wreS-
things with the English vernacular.
The reason why the dialect come
dianS don't fake the Norwegian is that
throughout the country. | never heard
of Scandinavian hardly until [ came
to the Northwest. 1t would take i'm
mensely up here. but | don't believe it
would be understood Or appreciated
anywhere else" This was the opinion
of well-known theatrical man given a
few days ago.
Nevertheless, this new material for
verbal burlesque is gradually coming to
the trout. Bill Nye in one of his read
ings recently ran in little of his choice
NorSk, and it was the hit of the evening.
An Ole Olsen comedy company has been
formed, too, at st. Paul. Any comedian
who can do Norsk" can be sure of a
warm reception at Minneapolis.

Nelson is familiar name in Mime
apolis. There is halo of midnight sun
about it that sheds light from the CEN
ter of the city to the Scandal bank. 1t
Is quietly given out that Manager Me
Caddon decided to keep Jim" Nelson
in the new Peoples company because
he had the halo name. But Nelson has
been attracting Americans lately. He
has come to the front in the new COM
pany and set high pace for his asso-
ciates. He is careful with his hands,
feet, face and his brains. He has them
all and uses them well. And | think
when Miss Johnstone leans over the
cradle in Wages of SIM and finds her
self a thief and her STAGE baby dead,
that no woman in the audience doubts
the truth to nature of the actress moan
ing. 1t must have sent thrill through
every mothers heart. Miss tombstone
has power and dramatic instinct enough
to play model wife and mother.

make the Floral Guide valuable to

Death of Herman Topped.

Mr.. Herman Topped died at 8 O'Clock
last Friday morning, of typhoid fever,
at his residence on Pratt street. aged
% years. .
He was conf led to his bed about ten
days, but had complained Of not feel
ing well for week or more before fer
sakiDg his pest at his place OF business.
Mr.. Topped was born in the town of,
Jiesbie,z. Prussia, September 2lss. 1888.
and with his pareu,s came to this
country when seven years old. When.
of sufficient age to choose his voca
ton, he chose that of harness making,
at which he completed an apprentice
ship, subst quently working in Roch-
ester, Phi -;delphia, New York, and
Cleveland, removing TO Ravenna from
and in comp,ny with Ct w Gockel,
of Cleveland opened harne smskiDg
establishment on East Main street,
under The firm name of To3ptl d
Gockel.
He was exceptionally skilled in fine
coach anti track harness making, a
very rapid worker, and probably net

man in Ohio, and equslled by few
The superiority OF his work uauship,
con, hined with The business integrity
of the new fiim soon secured for it a
handsome pstrorage, and its loeati' n
in Ravenna was rapidly developing y
lucrative trade, when the sudden i'll
ness and death of Mr.. Topped termina
ted the affairs of the partnership.
Mr.Toppel was a young man worthy
OF the high esteem in which he was
held by our citizens, and his demise
is deplored in business and social cir
cles.
The death of young man of Mr..
TToppel's abilities and superior busi.
ness qualifications, at period of life
when the skill derived from years of
faithful application was jrst beginning
to be of the most practical benefit and
to insure the fruition o; its owners
merited ambition, is peculiarly sad
\ aud distressing. for he leaves q wife
and four children, the eldest of whom
is but seven years of age, who are tb9s
deprived of the offices of love, care
and protection of husband and father.
The thought of bis loved ones and
the agony of a possible separation from
them burdened his mind as he lay
prastrated by the fatal malady, and
nerved him to almost superhuman ef
but in spite of the sublime cou age and
heroic resistance. the brave spirit
yielded to the power of the destroyer,
and one whose life of earnest endeavor
promised SO rich q future, closed his
eyes to earthly scenes.
His mother and brother, residing at
Rochester, N. Y, in response to tel
egrsm, arrived in the city about one
hour previous to his death.
The meeting between mother and
son was most affecting, he recognizing
and speaking to her in the most en-
dearing terms, exhibiting his deer
emotion in food of tears.
He retained his consciousness to the
last, aud died with the confident hope
of future in whose realms be would
be reunited to wife, mother, and chill
dren.
His remains, accompanied by his
relatives, we're taken to Rochester Fri
Gay night, the funeral obsfquies aud
lnterment of the deceased taking place
N that city.
