AMUSEMENT NOTES.
What a Trip to the Different The.
aters Revealed.


Nearly LOCO people crowded into the
Pence opera house last night to attend
the benefit to the Robert Emmett Liter
airy society. The pleasant face of Chris
Gallagher fairly shown out of the ticket
Office window, where he was acting as
special ticket agent for the evening,
and the rapidty with which he made
change gave rise to the suspicion that he
was once connected with a circus. Capt.
NJ. Hoy guarded the door and saw that
noone got in unless provided with tick
cts. The programme began with the
presentation of "An Irish Princess"
with Frederick Book as the old king,
and Miss Rodgers as the beautiful
princess. The piece went with good
applause, and was followed by the trial
scene from Robert Emmett" Mr.. Book
appeared as Emmett and delivered the
whole of the patriots famous speech
with telling force and feeling. The
feelings of the audience found vent in
ing the orchestra played number of
Irish airs, which helped to swell the
enthusiasm.
There was the usual excellent Mon
day night audience at the Peoples the
ter last evening, and it was what was
probably tine best performance of "a
Celebrated Case" that was ever given
in Minneapolis. J. Leslie Goesen gave
splendid portrayal of Jean
Remand. The part gives him much
greater scope than the one he
had last week, and he improved it.
Miss Sibyl Johnstone, too, made even a
better impression than she did in THE

A FAST w aLKER.
A Postoffice Clerk Who Has Been
Robbing the Mails.

A. X. Walker, a young man who has
been employed in the Minneapolis post
office since October. 1887, and is well
known about town, was arrested yester-
day Oh the charge of stealing money
from registered letters, and is now in
the county jail in default of $4,000
bonds. he having had preliminary eX-
animation before the United States dis
trict attorney at st. Paul.
The amount taken by Walker is not
known, but he freely confessed to TAX
ing a letter addressed to F. c. Law
renee, containing $3.50. 1t was useless
to deny that, as he was caught
in the act. up to December l
Walker had been employed in the regis
trOtting III too fast class, was some
what irregular in his habits, and liable
to show up late In the morning. and
Postmaster Ankeny decided to put him
in another department. He worked
from then until Feb. in the mailing
department, but on the advice of the
p0Stotfice inspector was reinStated in
the registry department at the begin
ming of the month just past. During
the month or two preceding Walkers
removal from that department several
letters mad been missed, but II was not
on account of any suspicion of crook
ednesS that he was transferred.
When Postoffice Inspector Darbel-
by came here a month or
more ago to look up the matter
of the lost letters, he suspected Walker
because the populations had ceased at
the time the latter left the registration
| office, and no money OF letters had been
taken since. He therefore suggested
that the young man be replaced and
watched, which was done, with the re-
suit that he was discovered III the act
of taking Mr.. Lawrence'S letter on Sat
urday, and when accused of it con-
fessed his guilt. He does not. how
| ever, admit having taken any other let
terS, but the amount missing is nearly
81 600, and he is believed to have take
| it all.
| Walker is unmarried and lives with
| his mother at 1406 Park avenue. He
was we'll recommended when he was
appointed to clerkship, but since that
time he has becnme acquainted with a
choice coterie of young bloodS who
| spent money freely, and in endeavor
ing to stay with them he spent more
than his income.
Walker is well liked by all who knew
him, and has been the chief support OF
| his mother, who is most eStiInabie
| woman.

Edwin Flary was an excellent duke.
Miss Ella Salisbury gave very good
performance of Valentine. The play
was splendidly staged, and there were
many pretty pictures. The effective

the presence of Company B, which ap-

1t would not be at all surprising if
the second edition of 1.-The Crystal
Slipper" being presented at the Henne-

excellent performance was given.

Inc farce is familiar to theater-goers as
