Tramrs Pay for Their Nights Lodging
by Beautifying the Almshouse Lawn,
A gang of convicts is at work putting
the large lawn in front of the almshouse
in a proper condition under the resolu-
ton offered by Freebooter Nelson recent
ly. 1t is a work much needed and when
the lawn is properly graded will greatly
add to the beauty of the Hill and the
pleasure of the inmates. While this is
being done Warden Ryan has made the
terrace around the building several yards
wider and has done it all by tramp
labor; men who ask permission
to stop there over night. They have al
ready dumped 1000 loads of dirt and by
the time the terrace is finished at least
1000 more loads will be required. All
this new ground is sodded, the turf being
taken from the lawn below which the
convicts are grading. Flower beds will
the terrace and the lawn will
probably have q fountain when the work
is done.
The warden has also widened the drive
way in front of the institution by tramp
labor. and In the centre has made what
will be a beautiful flower bed. He has
used these same people to thoroughly
clean and whitewash the engine room
which is as sweet now as a lady's bou-
doir. The warden deserves thanks for the
manner in which he gets work out OF
trHmDS.

MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL.
The Two Cities Have Been Allotted
Special Evenings.

A decision was reached yesterday to
make this evening Minneapolis night at
the exposition. Every night is Mime
apolis night in one sense, for everybody
is invited and everybody comes when
they can. But this is to be Minneapolis
night in different sense, night when
every person who lives in Minneapolis
and can possibly find time and OppOrtu-
nifty to do it should be at the exposition
building. These special nights
have always been most successful
ones and the chances are that
there will hardly be standing room
when the hour of the opening of the
concert comes.
1t was also decided to make tomorrow
evening ST. Paul night. There has been
a constantly increasing attendance from
st. Paul during the Strauss engage
ment, and last night heavy train of
cars at 1915 was inadequate to seat the
crowds, and many stood up in the cars
or waited for later train. With a
special st. Paul night. and with all
these attractions on, there is every
promise of a big crowd from st. Paul to-
morrow evening. When Minneapolis
and st. Paul both turn out they can
pack the building as though it were
one big sardine can.
1t has been decided to blow the whis-
tie at five minutes before the pro-
grammes begin at each performance
hereafter, and also five minutes before
the second part of each programme
This will give everybody plenty of time
to leave their promenading after the
conclusion of part and to get nicely
seated before the time for the next Sc
lection to begin. There has been more
lnHr I4
lack of some common signal. People
will get so interested in looking at the
many things Of interest that before
they know it the time for the perform
ance has come, and Strauss never waits.
You can rest assured that the conductor
is Just as exact in his engagements as
he is in his tempo. Mind the whistle.
The programmes for this afternoon
and evening are the most interesting
ones yet prepared On the programme
for this evening is Paul Schemacher's
'Picture of the Rhine" one of the most
charming descriptive pieces ever writ
ten. In musical phrase, these pictures
are tone sketches embracing the follow
ing scenes: A boat sail by twilight,
the dance of the winners, Serenade,
with violin solo by A. Krause, scene
in the forest and a peasants festival.
Then that wondrous creation, the fun
eral march by Chopin, will be played, a
marvellous work that is bound TO live on
as long as music has its charms. On
the matinee programme are two most
popular selections among the many of
| merit--Mendelssoh's wedding March,
and his .Songs Without Words.n These
| programmes will be of rare interest.
The sale of pictures in the art depart
ment is moving on very satisfactorily.

A Society Wedding at Gethsemane
Church.

A society w eQu1nG at GetnSemane
Church. Il
There was large and stylish gather
ing yesterday afternoon at Gethsemane
church, composed of the many friends
of Frank d. Larrabee, the popular
young Minneapolis attorney, and Miss
Anna Pratt, the we'll known and sue
cessful young concert vocalist. The
special occasion was the uniting in mar
rage of the two young people, who
have long been favorites among the
pounger portion of Minneapolis society.
While the Episcopal service is always
more or less formal and, impressive,
the arrangements for the ceremony
had been very simple, the young
people making their start in life in.
business-like way, by dispensing with
all attempts at a spread. Shortly after
o'clock the organ was heard to play
the wedding march, and the couple, at
tired in simple travelling costume, came
up the aisle, escorted by their intimate
friends. The bride wore a simple bunch
of roses at her breast, aside from which
there were no ornaments.
The large party of friends smiled them
a welcome as they passed to the altar.
where the impressive ceremony was
conducted CIV the rector, Rev. w. w.
Faude. The responses of both were
clear and distinct, and as they passed
out. bowling to friends, they seemed
perfectly at ease, and sensible of the
seriousness of the occasion. Mr.. and
Mrs. Larrabee took the train last even
ing for the South, where they will
visit points in Tennessee, the Mammoth
cave in Kentucky. Washington and the
East. and upon their return will live at
the West hotel. The hearty wishes of
many friends go with them.
