DRAMATIC DRIFT.
- If, as asserted, a full theater is sign
OF prosperous times in city. the n st.
Paul has abundant evidences of pros
| perity during the past week. Nearly
every night the seating capacity of the
Newmarket has been taxed, and the
Peoples has had all the crowd they could
handle. The play at the Peoples was
an unusually strong one, and proved a
gratifying test of the capacity of the
company to produce strong plays. The
popular comedians. Evans and Hoey,
entertained the audiences at the New
market with their inimitable perform
ances in IA Parlor Match"
The bill at the Newmarket for the
first half of the coming week, commenc-
ing to-mOrr0W night, is "Terry the

| music, sensation and senic display.

tandem are introduced OH the stage, in
addition to several coach dogs, dog
carts. ambulances, fire engines, and a

1.-The VOOdOo Venus" It will be inter-
esting to observe whether Minneapolis
can support an expensive theatrical at
traction two weeks:
Again does Chaska appear before the
public. 1t will be remembered that
some months ago Chaska and his wife,
nee Cora Belle Fellows, made dime
museum tour of the principal cities.
After that they returned to their home
in the Standing Rock agency i'll Dakota,
where Chaska titled the soil and Mrs.
Chaska devoted herself to tepee duties.
A few weeks ago it was telegraphed
through the country that the Great
Spirit had blessed the marriage by be-
slowing son upon the strangely-aS-
sorted couple. Immediately Kohl, Mid
dleton d Co. entered into negotiations
with them, and made contract by
which the family were to appear in their
places of amusement for ten weeks.
The son was named by Mrs. Chaska, or
Mrs. Campbell, as she prefers to
be called, Samuel, after her husband;
but Chaska's grandmother full-blOoded
ancient Indian woman, called him
Ojewagos, or Observation-Disclosures Cry.
This old Indian grandmother will be in
the party at the museum this week.
Upon the upper stage the Criterion
Comedy company, introducing Miss
Hattie Irving, will appear in a new
farce. In the lower theater will be
seen Ronaldo's Queen City Specially
company. 1t includes Johnny Harris,
Prof. Burk's midget dog circus, High
ley's musical artists, Alf Beaver in
limitations of actors, Mamie Birkley,
the vocalist, and the three Ronaldos,
the grotesque elastlques.
Mrs. Potter says of the gauzy and in
visible draperies she wears in Cleo
patra:" 1.-THE only correct criticism of
my costume that could be made is that
there is too much of it-not too little.
Of course, couldn't dress or have my
maids dressed in really correct cos
tunes. The real Cleopatra wore no
waist at all, but jeweled girdle and
collar, as you can see by the picture
