Talent at the Henuepin Avenue

Strikingly Portrayed by Local
Talent at the Hennepin Avenue
Theater.
The panoramic presentation at the
Hennepin Avenue theater last evening
of some Of the more striking incidents
of Gen. Lew Wallace's famous novel,
"Ben Hur, Tale of the Christ"
proved very agreeable entertainment
to large audience, composed of people
Intellectually, at least as far as literary
knowledge goes, above the average at
tendance ut a place of amusement.
Under such auspices the Interpretation,
as it might be called, of this wonderful
book could hardly have been otherwise
than a success. The stage was very
taStefully and richly decorated in ORR
entail style, even the boxes being draped
Bradstreet, Thurber 81 Co., and
the costumes, designed by Mrs.
n. X. Thompson. were, in
many instances, exceedingly attractive
Miss Clara Laurie Thompson occupied
position at the right OF the stage, and
read the passages connecting the
scenes presented. Her enunciatiOn was
very clear, and the greater portion OF
the audience was evidently familiar

testified. Miss Thompson in her read
ing was very acceptable, throughout
and where the opportunity was given of
dramatic effect, was we'll equal to the
emergency. Her recital of the chariot
race was especially strong, and she was
twice called before the curtain. The
tableauX were striking throughout, and
many of them were very beautiful. the

THE SALT OF THE EARTH.
A Huge Salt Trust Now in Process
of Incubation.


of Incubation.
EAST SAGINAW, Mich. March IS
The formation of a salt trust now seems
to be assured. C. F. Burger. represent
ing the Eastern manufacturers engaged
in the formation of a national salt trust,
came here in January and had confer
ence with the manufacturers at the an
nual meeting of the salt association, but
no conclusion reached. Subsequently
the president and a member of the eX-
ecutive board of the Michigan associa-
ton visited New York. investigated the
situation, and proposition was
made for the formation of a
trust. the basis of which was
the purchase of all plants operated in
dependently of saw mills. the produc-
ton controlled by Michigan association
and manufactured in connection mill
plants to be turned over to the National
trust at stipulated prices. This propo-
SitiOn was laid before a secret meeting
OF Michigan manufacturers last week in
this city, and the members present
voted to go into the trust on the basis
works where fuel costs so much, that
there is only narrow margin of profit.
and the product of each district to be
regulated by the area it car control,
this being, of course, regulated by
freight rates. Burger is now here, and
the details of the trust, or syndicate as
it is called, as preferable to crust"
are being arranged. The entire salt
producing territory of the country will
be included in the trust, which is said
to have a capital of $751; GOO.

TURNED OUT TAMELY.
The Minneapolis "Wets'' and
"Drys'' Fall On Each Others

The famous Wine-Eustis-Smith con-
test i'll the Union league came on last
night, and the club spent three hours
discussing the report of the dry COM
mittee in executive session. Eu-
gene Hay presided, and the smil-
ing William Hennery took seat
among the members and waited
for the medicine to be administered.
The committee, of which Carmen n.
Smith was chairman, and the grievances
of which were aired in the papers at
the time of the great legislative blow
out. made somewhat lengthy and de-
cidedly spirited report, stating from
dry standpoint the series of de-
ceIts and insults that were prac-
and explaining the position of the COM
mittee. The report also contained
series of resolutions, one of which was
a resolution of cenSure made for the
benefit of the president of the club and
certain others whom the committee be-
lieved TO have been in league with him.
After several conflicting motions
the whole report was tabled, but that
didn't settle the matter, as a general
and exhaustive discussion of the entire
matter was admitted under privilege,
anu Hearty all The members spoke.
There seemed to be general feeling
that those who believed in sunshine
had wr0nged and insulted the committee
but there was also feeling that resolu-
tons of censure had no place in the re-
port. The discussion also brought out
the fact that the committees detective
work was bad and that they had
followed false clue. In fact,
the resolution of censure was not
directed toward the people who
conceived and executed the plot to ir-
rigate the people who partook of the
leagues feast. When this became
apparent Carmen did the graceful by
apologizing to Mr.. Enstis and asking
that the report be returned to the
committee for correction and re-
vision. The request was granted and
the matter will come up again, when
the revised version of the report will be
presented. The matter cannot, there
fore, be regarded as settled, but
members who could be induced
to talk last night stated
that the ruction was not
so severe as they had been led to fear,
and that last nights discussion lacked
much of the personal abuse and repartee
which had been anticipated. In fact.
the meeting was rather tame affair as

St. Patrick's Day Entertain ments.

The entertainment at the Peoples
theater last evening under the auspices
of the Crusaders Total Abstinence So
ciety, was pleasing affair in every re-
Spect, and was remarkably we'll at
tended. Rev. Father McGolrick made
pleasing address upon st. Patrick"
and the Crusaders Dramatic club pre-
sented the Last Loaf in a praise
worthy manner. This was followed by
a number of pleasing tableauX and the
entertainment concluded with the farce
Nothing Man, The enter

Christian Brothers school.

AMUSE MENTS.

1t Is doubtful if more ingenious or
artistic spectacular play was ever put
on the Grand opera house stage than the
new "Fantasma" in its present shape.
Not only is the ingenuity manifested in
the scenic and mechanical parts Of the
piece, but in the groupings and other
evidences OF clever stage management.
1t is useless to detail the story, which
lavish display of artistic ensembles.
The new transformation, entitled The
Magic Fountain" is indeed most
clever and bewitehing, and is one of
the best ever seen here. OF the other
features it is useless to attempt de-
Scription, as there is so much that is
new. Mr.. Ziltner is Pico, is one of the
clevereSt pant0mimists before the pub
lie, and he fully sustained his reputation
last evening. Miss Laura Burt, as
FantaSma, makes an attractive fairy
queen, and Introduces a novelty in the
line of stump speeches, containing
many strong points and witty sayings.
Little footsteps dancing has much i'm
proved since last season, and his
speciality is as clever rs usual. He is
without doubt one of the cleverest
lrYe giles on the stage. Miss Ida Maus-
, seN, rs Lena, evoked much admiration
by hei clever pantOmime work, and the
singing of Miss Matte Lee and A. c.
Orcutt was well received. Without
doubt "Fantasma" Will catch the popu-
lar fancy this week and crowded houses
will result. The only matinee will be
given OH Saturday, and this spectacle
does not visit ST. p 9ul this season.
1.-The Silver King will be produced
again at the Peoples theater this even
ing.
'Fascination.; the new play by the
English poet and dramatical Robert Bu-
chanan. will be presented at the Grand
next week, with the beautiful Cora
Tanner i'll the leading role.
Tickets for Jessaline Rodg er's benefit
are now on sale at the Pence box Office,
and will be sold only at the box Office.
