The modern centaur, half-human
thing which resembles the ancient
NEUROLOGICAL creatures knows as the
centaurS. is the leading attraction at the
museum next week. This strange an
OmalouS creature is half-horse and half
man. He has the head and shoulders,
the sense and intelligence of man, but
his hinderpart resembles exactly that OF
horse. Only the focile Imagination of
Greek could conceive of such thing,
but nature has created here in defiance
of her strongest laws. The centaur is
neither man nor animal entirely; it is
both. No satisfactory explanation of
the manner in which anything SO pc
culiar could be supposed TO have been
born has ever bpPn offered
The museum election will be con-
tinued all next week. By that time a
pretty fair estimate of the standing of
the people OF st. Paul upon all that this
election will determine, can be known.
The museums UNIQUE method OF max
ing a canvass has thus far been a great
success.
Many interesting curiosities will be
on exhibition in the curio hall and in
the theaters. and bright, new stage
shows will be presented.

HOyt'S "a Tin Soldier" which will
occupy the boards at the Newmarket

of the most successful farce-cOmedieS
ever put on the stage. 1t is piece re-
pletc with humor of an efferveseent
character. always acceptable to an
American, and particularly to a st.
Paul audience. The dressing is good;
the cast is fine one. A crowded house
will greet "A Tin Soldier"

Adele Purvis' London tfaiety COM
pany will be the attraction at the Olym-
pic this week. and from the excellence
of the aggregation should prove a draw
ing card. Some of the best known
variety stars on the continent are EN-
braced in the cast, and each evenings
entertainment will close with the farce
comedy I'VE Are in Ii" by the fuH
strength of the company. -

The Raglan lectures promise well, and
deserve all that can be said of or for
them. New York and Chicago papers
and people speak highly OF them, and
the st. Paul public seems ready to
enjoy them. Mr.. Ragan'S lecture on
The Yosemite and the Yellowstone"
which opens the course Tuesday even
ing, is an excellent pictorial and orator
zeal representation and description Of
two parks, which contain maryelS and
wonuers found nowhere else. Water
falls, geySerS and mountain scenes are
realistically presented, and the audience
travels over. the mountains, and yet
suffers none of the dIScomfOrtS OF
travel. This course of four lectures
costs but $3.50, and Central Park Nj. E.
church will be crowded at the opening
Tuesday evening.
