MINNEAPOLIS SOCIAL.
Several Notable Receptions
During the Past Week.
i More to Come.
The Lurline Ball Friday Even
ing at the West
Hotel.
The Reception to Mrs. Frank
Leslie by the Misses
West.
Events Likely to Interest
Those in the Social
Swim.

With the cooler weather society seems to
be reyiving and several notable events in the
way of receptions and dancing parties during
the past week, while several weddings, col
lege reunions and even q masquerade party
or two was on the list
There is enough in anticipation too to keep
interest alive. Friday evening occurs the
Lurline club ball at the West hotel. which
this year precedsthe Charity ball, to which it
is hardly second in point of interest. The
Lurline Boat club includes many of the
pest young men in the city in a social rather
than Sunday school sense. and the add
ton of little hero worship which is at
tached to any athletic sport, makes the
annual ball of the Lurlines an affair
of especial importance to the young
ladies. Dancing will begin at 8
O'Clock and Il programme of eighteen
numbers, consisting chiefly OF Strauss music,
viii be rendered by the DAM orchestra. per-
sonally conducted by Prof DAM. Refresh
ments will be served i'll the ladies' ordinary
and foyer to suit the convenience of the
guests.
At the close of her lecture at the Grand
opera house Monday evening, Mrs. Frank
Leslie will be rendered an informal reception
by the Misses West a the parlors of the West
hotel. 1t has been found impracticsbe to is
sue invitations, but general Invitation is
extended by the young ladies to all their
friends to be present and personally meet

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

"The Worlds Fair musical and
spectacular extravaganza, by Rice's
Surprise Party, begins weeks en-
gagement at the Grand opera house to-
night. ''The FAIR has all the popular
elements of burlesque, farce-comedy
and spectacle. The costumes are the
most brilliant that MIR. Rice has ever
offered. The scenery represents the
various wonders and effects which may
be anticipated in the coming worlds
There are six or eight original comedy
parts in the burlesQue, and these are all
in the hands of popular and clever
comedians. In one scene 1,100 electric
lights are used.

WOMAN'S WORK.

One of Them Is Lost in Wonder
at What This Term Means.
have been lost in wonder for long
time as to how much this greatly
abused term may cover. I dimly re-
member heving heard something like
this: ''Man's work is from sun to sun,
but woman's work is never done," and
cannot help wondering whether that
couplet was not meant to be fling at
those poor housekeeperS who are al
ways behind with their work. The
most definite idea that my mind has yet
grasped with regard to woman's work is
that it consists of all the work that the
men and the boys cannot or will not do.
This idea is largely derived from per-
sOnal experience, as follows: l get up
in the morning and skim and strain the
milk, and get the breakfast started;
then / snatch time to run out and feed
the chicks if | can; if not, I do it the
first thing after breakfast. | wash
dishes and churn, and work the butter,
pick peas for an hour in the hot sun,
and she'll them for dinner; at IL o'clock
| rush out to feed the chicks again and
to take the setting hens off the nests for
dust and run, and after l get the veg
etableS on to cook. | make another sally
in order to get them back again on the
right nests.
After dinner, 1 wash the dishes, pre-
pare the salad or plain cake for sup
per, snatch fifteen minutes rest if | can
possibly spare the time, feed the chicks
again, transplant celery plants, or take
my light hoe and scratch over some of
the late garden stuff which the men
have neglected. If tine cattle go out, I
go after them, or else 90 to call the men;
if these are behind with their work, l
milk the cows. | gather the eggs and
feed the chicks once more, and after
dark, as likely as not, l go to the poul-
try house to doctor sick bird, to see a
would-be setter, or to pepper all ailing
brood of chicks with insect powder.
This is in June.
Do you think the work gets lighter as
the berries and truck come on. and the
hay and the grain? Where do you sup
pose my dreSsmaking. which | cannot
afford to hire, is all this time? Where
is my mending? Where is my
time to change my dress for
''neat afternoon cambric?" And
if l had the time what would be
the state of that aforesaid cambria in
two afternoons? Do you think my
health, always uncertain, is improving?
Yet this is about the daily round of

DON'T TURN THEM OFF.

Homework Should Not Be Given
the Preference Over Children.
An idea that used to be prevalent, and
has not now, fear, become obsolete, is
that the children must be turned off,"
and the homework given the prefer
ence, if the mother has not time enough
for both. Too often the mother of little
children turns them away when they
most need her mOthering care, because
her household cares press and she fears
the criticisms of her neighbors, or per-
hapS of her own husband, if her house
is not kept in perfect order and first
class condition, the clothing of the
family immaculate and the meals
served with promptness, and the
usual abundance and variety of
food prepared. Some time. l hope,
the sacred duties of motherhood will
be more fully realized, and in some way
mothers be exempted from most of the
drudgery aud care of housekeeping
while little children claim her care !;
then her best thought can be devoted to
them, and the holy Office of mother
hood held of more account than house
work, dress. society or the accumula-
ton of wealth.
Some one has compared the work of
the mother to that of tine sculptor, but
while the sculptor may begin to carve a
statue one day. he can leave his work
for months or years neglected, and then
taking it up again, bring it to the thing
of beauty he first designed. Not so
the mother; if she neglectS her work
for time, other influences are fashion
ing it, and its beauty and symmetry
NAV be destroyed forever.
No vOunO woman who ShFInl<c from
the cares and eSponsibllities of mother
hood, or who does not do everything in
her power to fit herself for them, has a
right to assume the duties of wifehood.
know mother who has reared to a
pure, true-hearted young womanhoOd
and manhood four sons and three daughs
tiers. While they were little children
her time and strength were all given to
them. Help for the household work
was provided, although no money was
put in bank, and sometimes even debt
was assumed. Society's claims were
put aside if they interfered with moth
er's duties. Her life seemed to be al
most given up to the children. She
was their friend and playmate. She
kept herself young in spirit and ever
ready to be their cOnfdant and adviser.
The mother, who never turned deaf
ear to their little, childish trials, was
made the confidant of the big boys and
girls.
When she looks at them now do you
think she regrets that she gave those
years of her life to their care and train
ing? The years did not seem long. and
now all have grown beyond the need
of this constant care. She has again
taken up studies and work that she laid
down for them.

and the announcement of that action
was received in dead silence, though a
delegate moved vote of thanks to the
aldermen who introduced and support
made that the assembly had already
put itself on record for the eIght-hour
day at 81 SO, without compromise. The
following resolution was finally passed !:
Whereas, The adoption by the city council
of Aid. McNamee'S resolotion-that IVA
cents per hour be paid for eight hours labor
on city work-may be regarded as an advance
along the line which all organized labor is
planned upon: and
Whereas, The trade and labor assembly of
st. Paul recognizes the fact that the adoption
of such resolution insures the employment
of an increased number of Iaborers on city
work; therefore be it

men who assisted by their votes in gaining
this recognition of the just claims of the la
boring people of this city.

All unions will be notified, and also
unions in other cities where the firm

Mrs. Oscar Wilde.

Mrs. Oscar Wilde has the reputation
of being the most picturesque woman
in London. A couple of years ago she
adopted the Liberty silk gown, and
fashion went mad and miles to see her.
Now she wears.black and white, black
and gold, and black and cress green,
and the cut of her gowns is quite as re-
markable as the seamless, clinging robe
designed by Buine-Jones ten years ago.
The gold or yellow frocks, toned down
with black feathers. gauze or lace, are
reserved for landscape effects, the black
and green for daylight interiors, and
evening dress is all of black bengaline,

embroidery of gold. and worn with
white shoes and white boa. Her bou-

DRAMA AND MUSIC.
Formal Opening of the Ly-
ceum by the Hess Opera F.
Company.
Worlds Fair" at the Grand
--"Bunch of Keys" at
the Bijou,
While the Pence Presents a
Combination of Dog Cir
Gus and Vaudeville.
The Danz Symphony Concerts
Mrs. Frank LeSlie'S
Lecture.

Tomorrow evening occurs the formal
opening of the Lyceum theater under
its new management. 1t will introduce
the celebrated Hess company in re-
turn engagement of one week of grand
opera as this popular company can
alone present it. During its engage
ment of three weeks last summer it
planted itself on firm foundation as
popular favorite, which this short en-
gagement will only tend to strengthen.
1t is, without doubt. the very best grand
opera company ON the road, and the
manner in which its performances were
given before will guarantee it most
successful engagement now. Both ar
tistically and financially the company
remains about the same as before, all
the old favorItes being retained, and
several new artists will be presented
for public approval. OF these Fred
Packard, an English tenor of remarka-
BILE fine voice and general excellence,
will make his first appearance
before Minneapolis audience:
also Miss Fanny Myers, a lady
who for severa! seasons was leading
contralto for the Kellogg and Morrisey
Grand Opera companies. The company
will open in Lucia de- Lammermoor.
No severer test of the company could be
selected, probably, and MISS Guthrie
stands without rival in her interpreta-
lions of the title role. Mons. Louis
Guile, the famous French tenor, has
also a very strong part as Edgar, and
the artistic work of these two really
great artists is something wonderful.
The repertoire for the balance of the
week is, Tuesday, ''Traviata," Wednes-
day. "Trovatore," Thursday, Faust"
Friday, Carmen" Saturday, Martha"
A matinee will be given on Saturday,
though announcement of the opera for
this performance has not yet been
made. Among the old favorites may be
mentioned VIM. Mertens, the greatest
English speaking baritone on the stage
to-day. His voice is simply grand, and
his many admirers in Minneapolis will
be pleased to again hear his artistic
singing. The seat sale is progressing
finely, and the indications point to
very successful engagement, both ar
tiSticaliy and financially.

but very few the world over. The num-
Der of pieces is to be increased to fifty,
and while all the fayorite soloistS-
Straka. Will, Freeman and Kreuger-
are to be retained, others will be Sc
cured. Much of the music that he will
play will be new. and the concerts,
creditable as they have been in the past,
will be even more satisfactory than
ever. In view of the increased expense
to which Prof. DAM is put by increas-
ing the orchestra, the price of admission
will be reduced from 35 cents to so cents.
Season tickets will be sold. however, at
S. for the twelve concerts, or IS for
double tickets. The sests at Harmonic
hall are to be numbered this season, SO
they can be reserved in advance.

Gold Passementerie.

Black gowns of lusterless texture
look best relieved with gold passemen-
terie, but to be in good taste both the
dress materials ana the trimming must
be of exceptionable quality, otherwise a
dress of the kind looks tawdry and in
etfably vulgar. A pretty and Iadylike
trimming for black striped satin gown
is black velvet overlaid with a touch
of very fine silver passementerie, or
another inexpensive garniture is that of
medium wide gros grain ribbon with a
lustrous black satin edge. One or two
silver or cut steel buckles make an eff
fectiYe addition

THE DAM CONCERTS.

Music lovers will be glad to know that
the time for the symphony concerts by
the DAM orchestra is at hand. The first
concert occurs Nov. 2, three weeks from
to-day. Each year since he organized
his orchestra Prof. Frank DAM Sr. has
been able to show some Improvement.
but this year his advancement is more
radical than ever before, and if he Is
properly supported Minneapolis can
boast of an orchestra that is second to

likely to satisfy the anxiety of the great
est number. Among these the perplexed
bridegroom is assured that he has
not been expected for at least thirty
odd years to proXide carriages for the
bridesmaids or guests, and that the only
equipage for which he is responsible is
that in which he takes his bride from
the church to the house and afterward
to the railway station. Also that the
bride should walk up to the altar on the
right side of her father or guardian
and come down again on the left arm
of the bridegroom, and that the order
of precedence for the guests after
the ceremony, except royal weddings,
is that the welded pair 20 first, fol-
lowed by the bridesmaids and guests,
while the mother hurries home by the
quickest route in order to arrive before
her guests that she may receive them.
The bride is no longer expected to
furnish the household linen; this pretty
custom. which dates from the days
when the maiden spun and w0ve her
linen, having lost its pretty significance
and been abandoned.
The world also seems full of puzzled
'best men'' with very hazy ideas con-
corning their rather thankless duties,
and they are assured that they are not
expected to pay the bridegroom's fees,
but simply to call for him, accompany
him to church, remind him of the wed
ping ring before the ceremony
and see that he doesn't. forget his
hat after it. He stands at the
right and little back of the bride
groom during the ceremony, proceeds
to the house in whatever manner he
thinks best, though usually he finds a
place in the last carriage of all after he
has assisted all the ladies to their
places and attended to all the details of
the ceremony. The Dukesof Portland
established happy precedent at his
wedding of going down with his best
man, while awaiting the coming of his
bride, to chat with the people in the
frontTows instead of waiting IN solemn
agony at the altar rail. Groomsmen in
England are extinct, though in America
they still exist under the name of uSh-
erS.
The proper use of the visiting card is
a constant source of confusion to the
uninitiated. AS widower with un-
married daughters should use card the
size of lady'S visiting card, with his
daughters names printed beneath
his own. 1t is quite immaterial
which corner of the visiting
card is turned down, and the fashion Of
turning one side completely down is
only foreign version of the same GUS
tom. Wedding cards should not be re-
turned by the visiting cards of the re-
cipientS sent through the mails, and
brides should not put their ''At Home"
day OH their wedding crrds.

STRUCK A VOLCANO.
A Wonderful Well Down in the
Indian Nation.

A strange phenomenon is reported
from the Indian Nation. A few DAYS
ago white man. Charles Gooding. liv-
ing near Goodland, station on the
Frisco road in the CbOctaw nation. en-
ployed an Irish well-digger, Mike Du-
haney, to sink we'll on his place. Du-
haney began work, and had reached
depth of sixty feet. At noon Saturday,
after eating dinner. his assistants began
lowering him back into the well to re-
sumo work, but he had hardly gone
down twenty feet when he screamed
to them to pull him out quick, that
he was burning up. AS hurriedIy
as possible he was hOiSted out. but on
reaching the surface was unconscious,
and 1t required two hours hard work to
restore him.
He was found in pitiable condition,
his clothes being Scorched until they
crumbled at the touch, and his BODY was
fearfulIy blistered. The intense heat
seemed to rise from the bottom, and a
coat lying on the windlass, and the rope
wound around it, were all charred until
they broke iuto fragments at a touch.
No flame could be seen. Simply an in
ntense heat was felt.
