the fire broke out, and consequently
only building was lacking. The
assembly hall of the high school
building was engaged, and through
the indefatigable efforts of the
manager and . his assistants it was
tltted up for a performance last even
ing. The stage is not large enough to
enable the company to use its elaborate
scenery. but /. the play presented, GA
Woman's Stratagem," is a production
of one scene, and it was possible to
drape the stage very prettily and ap-
propriately.
Manager Prescott, of the company,
said: "Of course we are greatly incon-
yenienced, but will take to the situation
good-naturedly, and do the best we can
under the circumstances" y.
Manager Scott stated that the high
school hall would be retained during

THE DIME MUSEUM.
The Largest Man in the World Re

The Largest Man in the world Re-
posing in Curio Hall.
Marcus Goodwillie, the monster
Master Mason, rolled about on his huge
couch at the dime museum yesterday
and tried to look handsome and happy.
He didn't succeed very well as beauty,
but he looked fairly comfortable. Mar
Gus is too big for anything on earth ex-
cept to be looked at. He is probably
the largest man that ever lived. When
he was driven to the museum from the
train he looked obviously at the strong
tackle which was ready to hoist him into
the museum,sfor Marcus is so fat he can
not walk. After looking at the window
for few minutes, he announced that
he didn't think he could get through.
A measurement was taken, and it was
shown that big Marcus was right.
There was nothing else to do but carry
him up, so a big stretcher was impro-
vised and a dozen lusty fellows took
hold of it. With much tugging and fire.
Quent pauses, they landed the great
fellow in Curio hall, where he will re-
main this week. Thousands of people
come to see him evenings. The attrac-
tons at the museum are very good,
among them being the wonderful ex7
hibition of Arcaris, the Egyptian
knife-throWer, who impaleS his sister to
the wall. The stage performances are
excellent.

HEARD BOTH SIDES.
A Family Skeleton Aired Before
His Honor.


His Honor.
Judge Kelly filed an order yesterday
DENYING the application of the plaintiff
in the divorce case of Anders Morten-
son against Lena MOrtenson, which was
tried in the district court about SIX
months ago. The parties were married
at Randolphs, Wis, April Is, 1875, and
are forty-five and thirty-e; ght years old
respectively. Mortenson. in his COM
plant, charged that his wife, between
the 18th day of June and the commence
ment of the action, committed adultery
with Larson Jermsted, and that she has
ever since been living in adultrous IN
tercourse with the said Larson III this
city. That such adultry was committed
without his consent. cOnnivance, privlty
or procurement. Wherefore he asked
the court for decree of absolute dl-
yorce and the custody of his children.
The defendant, in her answer, denied
each and every allegation of the COM
pIaint which referred to the charges OF
a breach of the marriage VOW. AS a
cause of action against the plaintiff, she
avered that he is of grossly thriftleSs,
idle and improvident habits, and has
failed to contribute to the support and
maintenance of the family. He has
been guilty of cruel and inhuman treat
ment towards the defendant, and
through the force of adverse circum-
stances, consequent upon the PLAINTIFFS
thriftlessness, she was compelled.
against her will, to perform manual
labor to support herself and children;
She has been pregnant four times. and
while in such condition he made her do
arduous and severe labor, which caused
a miscarriage in each case, wherefrom
she became shattered and destroyed in
mind and health. In November, 1886,
plaintiff left for Europe without COM
municating his intention to his family,
and wholly failed and neglected to pro-
vide for them during his absence.
When he returned from abroad the fol-
lowing February, and with great vio-
lence and abusive language he made
the defendant leave her house. She
saws that he is man of ungoVernable
temper, and of an Unfortunately jealous
disposition. Not content with that, he
tried to poison the mind of his eldest
daughter by circulating in the neigh
borhoOd diverse false, mendaciouS and
scandalous tales respecting the defend
ant. She prayed that the court would
grant the plaintiff nothing, and decree
her the custody of the two children, the
possession and title of certain real es-
tate valued at 81 200, and divorce. The
court sets forth that the plaintiff is not
entitled to relief.

1.-THE TWO OPHANs."
An Excellent Performance at the
PeOpIe'S

An EXCeiienC performance at the
Peoples.
The initial performance of "The Two
Orphans" at the Peoples theater last
evening was one of the best seen in this
city for many days. The play was
beautifully staged, the scene of the gar
dens at Bel Air being particularly
beautiful. Miss LIE Baron and Miss
Young assumed the title roles, and did
some fine work. Miss LIE Baron sur
prised her warmest admirers by the adj
mirable manner in which she acted the
part of the blind girl Louise. Miss
Young was painstaking and cor
rect, as usual. Mr.. Lipman's
work as Pierre, the cripple,
was excellent, and proved his
versatility. Mrs. Meyers, as Mother
Frochard, was correctly crafty and
cruel. MI. Huebner gave most arts
tic presentation of the brutal Jacques.
Mr.. Russell was excellent as the brave
chevalier. Miss Williams, as FlOrette,
was clever, and sang the drinking song,
Petit Bleu," charmingly. Mr.. Stanley,
as Picard, is dandified and very funny.
Miss Aigen assumed two characters in
the play, and was perfect and artistic.
The others made the most of the parts
assigned them.

1t was followed by Sig. Zun Zerretto in

ADJUSTMENTS.
Helen Barry in a "Woman's
Stratagem."

OCIatdSCWs
BY the destruction of the Grand opera
yesterday, Miss Helen Barry, Manager
j. M. HIPS latest star acquisition,
passed through her second fiery ordeal
| and came out unscathed. Such tests as
these are apt to upset the equilibrium of
the best balanced women, but Judging
by the efforts of Miss Barry last night,
when she appeared Oh the stage at High
School hall in "A Woman Stratagem,"
the events of the day had no disturbing
influence on her. As soon as Manager
Scott realized that the destruction of
the Grand was inevitable, he set about
to find suitable place in. which
to bring out his attraction, and
save his patrons from disappoint-
ment. High School hall was secured
at a late hour, and transformed into as
pretty playhouse as one could desire
under the circumstances. The bare an
nouncement of the fact served to draw
out large number Of play-goers, and
rousing welcome was given the coura-
geous and accomplished actress. For
no greater success than that achieved
by Miss Barry. She has been particu-
larly acceptable to the intelligent
and critical element of the
metropolis, and the entertain
ment produced last night was
little short of an ideal production. "a
Woman's Stratagem" is play full of
dramatic excellence, and gives Miss
Barry, and for the matter of that, every
member of her company, wide field
for the display of artistic talent. A fine
stage presence, handsome face and soft,
modulated voice. impress one favorably
with Miss Barry the first moment, and
in every look and word thereafter is
recognized the finished actress, and
both heart and head are captivated.
Her well earned reputation as an artistic
has been evidently won by hard work
that alone lead to the heights of fame,
and the windings of which courage and
true genius alone may know a path
way. In the minor details she departs
not an iota from nature, but it is in the
stronger parts that she is at her best
and shows the perfect training and cul-
tivated native genius. Magnificent cos
tunes advantageously displayed en-
nance the entertainment, particularly in
the eyes of the ladies. The cast is
short but brilliant one. AS the Raron
Montlchard, Frank Mordant makes his
role second to none in point of interest
and excellent handling in the entire
cast. J. NJ. Colville as Henri de
Pavement, Burr Mcintosh as Gustav
de Grigon, Victor Hammond as the
Brigadier, and Miss Maud Hossford as
Leonie de la Villegontier, were equally
as effective in their respective parts.
The same production will run through
the week at the High school, the sale of
seats being held at Manager Scott's
temporary office, corner Fourth and
Wabasha streets. The invitation to the
reorganzed Press club to attend in
body holds good for tonight.

UNIFORMITY WANTED.
Registers of Deeds Discuss Topics
OF Mutual Interest.

Registers of deeds from many of the
counties of the state met at the Mer-
chants yesterday afternoon in response
son, of Dodge county. There were
present A. j. Grimmer, Brown; John
Heinen, Dakota; E. H. Emerson.
Dodge; Nels E. Nelson, Douglas; NJ.
NJ. Freer. Falibault; John F. Peterson,
Hennepin; CLANS X. DAZZLE, Caledonia;

Tail; Gerhard Hilgess, Scott; L. II.
Wellington, Stevens; j. c. Collins,
Swift: ii. w. Davis, Washington;
Thomas TOrSon, Watonwan.
The ensuing two hours discussion
was totally informal, and was upon
topics of interest to the official mind.
Many of the counties use the abstract
record for entering and tracing titles,
while others use the tract index for the
same purpose. 1t was with tbs idea of
taking the initiatory steps towards pro-
curing a uniformity of method in this re-
Spect that the meeting of yesterday was
called. A discussion towards making a
uniformity of fees was also indnlged
in, as at present majority OF the
registers are in doubt as to the amount
which should be charged for given
service. County attorneys are also at
variance on this point No action was
taken on the subjects under discussion,
however, but the registers will probably
meet again in the future, when they
hope to obtain larger representation.

The Assessment

The assessor has completed his
work of listing, and the police
jury has for several days been
reviewing the assessments we.
have not been able to ascertain
vet whether or not that body has
changed the figures ofthe assessor.
Mr.. Richardson informs lis that
the assessment exceeds that OF
last year about S250,00O. This is
good showing and indicates that
a close assessment has been made.
But of course increase Is also due
to an advance in the value OF real
estate. The railroad has been the
main cause of this Increase IN
value of property.
The railroad property is taxed
about 100000 and the property
around Homer is valued consider
ably higher than it has been for
several years. If property con-
t'nucs to increase in valuation We
see no reason why our parish can
| not be run on q smaller tax next
year. If all the property IN the
parish subject to taxation could
be reached by the assessor and
placed at his true value, oul
parish government could be easily
run on four or five mills. The
difficulty is that the small proper
tyowner, the poor man, has no way
of concealing or hiding his proper
ty from the taxgather and is
consequently taxed to his fullest
capacity, butthe wealthy man Will
porperty in notes, bonds and mon
ey can very easily evade taxation
and throw the burden on tht
small property owners. Misfort.
unately this is too often the case
But we know ofno remedy for thi'
evil under the existing laws. Jus
